WHOLESALE F0RGER CAUGHT
Man Who Passed Many Spurious Ger
tificateA of Deposit On Iowa
Banks Taken.

IOWA CITY, Ia, July 13.-(Special.)-
John Bauer, the man who cleverly passed
a forged certificate Of deposit for 1,5OO
upon the Iowa City State bank six weeks
ago, is in the hands Of the Rock island
police and will be brought to this county
for a trial. The case has been in the
hands of the leading detective agencies
of the country for the last month and
the prisoner was apprehended by j. A.
Grant of Chicago, q Pinkerton detective.
at Rock Island, Ill.
When confronted with the Iowa City
men after his arrest Saturday at Rock
Island Bauer denied all knowledge Of the
Iowa City crime, but later practically
confessed and will undoubtedly plead
guilty when brought here for trial.
Bauer has been working his scheme all
over the United States and with great
success. His. plan was to present a GER
tificate of deposit and borrow a portion
Of its face value, taking a certificate of
deposit from the bank for the remainder.
The original certificates he obtained from
an engraving house In Cincinnati, by
posing as the representative Of a bank
which was a customer Of the engraving
house.
Although he touched the Iowa City bank
for $500 It was considerably less than
some other institutions visited by Bauer.
A Grand Rapids, Mich, bank paid him
over $500 and many others were stung
to the extent OF 1880 and over.
Bauer will be charged with forgery and
his trial may result in a fifteen-year SEN
tence.

MANDAMUS READY TO FILE
EnElIsh Has Drawn Up Petition In
Behalf of Caldwell a Drake,
Court House COntractors.v

The petition of the county attorney for
ar Injunction compelling County Comptrol-
Ter Solomon to pay the warrants OF Cald-
we'll & Drake, the new court house con-
tractors, has been prepared and is ready
to be filed.
The controversy arises from the fact that
under the law of claims the county. comp
troller Is forced TO hold all claims allowed
by the county commissioners for ten days
before delivering them. Last Saturday,
when the board issued a warrant for SO, 700
to the contractors, they expected to get
their money Immediately, but were delayed
by Mr.. Solomon's holding that their claim
would have to wait as do all other claims.
The county attorney gave as his opinion
tina the payments to Caldwell & Drake
on their contract are not properly claims,
but liquidated debts, and for that reason
should not be held. In the petition all
these facts are set forth, as we'll as the
reasons of the comptroller for holding up
the warrants, and the court will be ex-
pected to ask the comptroller to show cause
for his delay. II the construction Of the
county attorney is accepted. the court will
issue a writ Of mandamus, permitting Cald-
well & Drake to get their money each
month, as soon as It is allowed by the
commissioners

Manual Training
Given Impetus
E. E. Brown, United States Commits
sioner of Education, Talks of
Convention While in Omaha.

DR.. Elmer Ellsworth Brown Of Wash
ington, ID. c., United States commissioner
Of education. was in Omaha for a few
hours Tuesday, the guest of DR.. William
M. Davidson. DR.. Brown arrived at 3:45
p. m. from Denver, where he attended
the National Education association meet
ing, and was met at the train by DR..
Davidson.
The Denver convention, while not the
largest we have had. was one of the most
important as to results, and particularly
with regard to the stimulus It has given
Industrial education" said DR.. Brown.
'"rhe three great features of the %conven-
tlon were those bearing upon Industrial
ism, hygiene and morals in education.
These nave become permanent factors In
the educational system of the United
States and will continue to occupy the
highest rank. The day of prejudices
against industrial training in the public
schools has long since passed"
DR.. Brown was given a drive about the
city during the early evening in ompany
with DIR. Davidson and General Mander-
son.
The old course Of study must give way
to the new course" said DR.. Davidson,
and give emphasis to the practical side of
education as well as the theoretical SIDE" he
added. Education today should be one-half
liberal and one-half industrial. The liberal
IL the education that largely prevails. The
Industrial has been SO far developed as to
demand that a new unit must be created
this unit to be known as the vocational
unit. This may be segregated or not, but
1t must be a unit and worked out as such.
This vocational unit should begin with
the seventh grade and continue through
four years, two years in the grades and
two years in the high school. This voca-
tional training should be begun In the
lower grade, giving the child basic work
in the vocation he or she expects to fol-
low through life"
DR.. Davidson said 1t seemed good to get
back to Omaha where 1t is cooler, as all
the time he was in Denver the weather
was sitting, and what was worse, the
air did not cool off at night. He made a
side trip to Pixies peak, and there secured
a breath of cool air.
Prof. Ellis u Graft, principal Of the
Omaha High school, and Dr.. Lorenzo d.
Harvey of Menoninee, Wis, retiring presi-
dent OF the National Education assocla-
ton, and President Hitler OF the North
Dakota state normal school at Maysville,
accompanied DR.. Davidson on the return
trip. DR., Harvey and President Hitler did
not stop in the city.

BERLIN, July 1S.-Prince Won Buelow,
the retiring imperial chancellor, will for
mally propose, in his audience with EN-
peror William tomorrow, that he be sue
ceeded by DIR. Won Bethmann-Holweg, SEQ
rotary of the interior and vice chancellor.
There is reason to believe his majesty will
accept this proposal and that the appoint
ment will be gazetted at once. Prince Won
Buelow will thus be permitted to name his
own successor at Emperor Williams re-
quest.
DR.. Won Rethmann-Holweg IL a college
friend Of the emperor and during the lat
ter's entire reign has often advised his
majesty. ..t cl. ~:
He has, however, shown q disinclina-
ton to accept high offices. He is a man

times has been called the philosopher

Even at his own receptions he some
times wears an air of pre-ocupation.
DR.. Bethmann-Holweg is Of Jewish origin.
He is now So years old. In his youth he
studied law and was appointed assistant
Judge. Before he was 80 years old he had
been made district governor Of Ober-Bar-
MIN, and later he became provincial presi-
dent of Potsdam, where the suburban pal
ace of Emperor william is located During
his three years at Potsdam he saw much
OF the emperor, and the two took long
walks and rides in the environs.
Following his sojourn at Potsdam, DR..
Won Bethmann-Holweg's promotion was
rapid. He became president of the govern
ment of Bromberg and later president of
the province of .BrandenbuTg, from which
post he took up the portfolio of Prussian
minister OF the interior. He then followed
Posadowsky as imperial minister.
After the clerk Of the ReichstaE had an
nounced today the passage OF the bill pro.
viding increases in the salaries of civil
servants. DR.. Won Bethmann-H ollweg rose
and said hat as the representative of
Prince Won Buelow. he had a message
from the emperor to read. His communi-
cation was a decree closing the present
session of the house, which Will not re-
assemble until next autumn.
AS had been expected. the socialists, to
show their disregard for monarchical in
situations, remained seated while the mes
sage was being read. The socialists Their

WASHINGTON, July 13.-President Taft,
the summer Bachelor" of the White
House is sharing the fate OF many other
officials and Washington resi-
whose familiea have gpnasaway to
ounta and seashore. the president Is
taking the situation philosophlcally, does
not seem greatly to mind the hot weather
and is reading daily letters from Beverly
which tell of the rapid improvement in
Mrs. Taft's health.
Living bachelor fashion at the White
House is not fraught with the same dis.
comforts that beset the mare man who has
bis home closed, up on him" whenahis
wife goes away and is compelled to seek
food and lodgings as best he may.
The president and Mrs. Taft divided the
White House help" when the occupancy
Of the Beverly cottage was begun, so the
president Is well taken care of and domes-
tie affairs at the White Hous run on
much the same. a~aAANA&1aS
The president, however. allowed Mrs
Taft to take the first cook to Beverly,
while he makes himself content with the
second cook" The second cook is a leg
acy from the Roosevelt administration, a
negro girl named Mary who halls from
Virginia and whose sway over the White
House kitchens now is complete. Mary
has few peers as a cook In any matter
gastronomic, but as Is to be supposed, she
is at her best when frying chickens and
making hoe cakes. The president is en-
PERTAINING many luncheon and dinner
guests during his bachelor lays and this
second cook is providing menus which few
imported chefs could hope to equal.

sentative and stops at the latter's house or
club to pick him up. The evening rides
often extend out into the beautiful Rock
Creek park, which stretches for miles
along the little waterway whose nam 1t
bears. At other times Mr.. Taft has his
chauffeur drive about the city or on the
Potomac park driveways which skirt the
river back OF the White House and the
Monument grounds.
Arising at about 2 O'Clock. the president de-
votes nearly an hour to dumb bells. pulley

scribed for him. He breakfasts and usually
