his company claims the right to do bus
mess in Iowa under the federal statutes
and to pass the resolution would be a
waiver Of their rights under the federal
statutes.
Now Secretary Hayward has written
them agreeing to waive this one pro-
vision temporarily while the case is pend
ing in the courts and accepts their
agreement to comply with the other fea-
lures of the law. The other features Of
the law include the payment OF a fee
based on a per cent Of the capitalization.
which in the case of the Western Union
means a fee Of $4,000. 1t Is believed
the ~company's attorney did not know of
his fee when he agreed to comply.
The case is one of the most important,
because II involves the first test Of the
law requiring outside corporations to file
copies OF their incorporation and resolu-
lions by the directors and pay fees.

pany has been increased by a number of
new people, including Charles Moran, Ber-
tram Mllar, Charles Mortimer and Edward
Furgerson, who will make their first ap-
pearance tonight in the five-aot political
drama entitled "In the Power OF the State"
This play tells a thrilling story Of political
trickery and an unwarranted strike. Phil
lip Carringford had been elected governor
Of the state by machine politicians who
secured the support Of the various labor
unions. Joe Bagley, president OF the looal
union, with others, have been discharged
from the Landon mills on grounds OF in
competency, and who succeeds in forcing
a strike with the hope that they might be
reinstated. Landon. the mill owner, re-
fuses TO deal with the union or reconsider

men. AS time goes on the union funds run

brought TO a climax at the end Of the fourth
act when the governor Is killed by Ton

Schemes That Have Failed.

In spite OF all precautions no one more

The German crown prince is the latest
victim When he was al Ploen College he
struck UP a friendship with young Ger
man noble. Count HOchberg. VINO was
also a student at 7loen. The friendship
was kept up after college days were over.
and for sometime letters were exchanged
regularly.
The count fell on evil days and had 10
emigrate TO America, where he became
chauffeur 10 a man named Barnes After
some time he dropped his own name and.
having adopted that OF Barnes. vanished
from the sight and hearing OF his friends.
Recently he has reappeared-with the
crown princes letters. These he threat
ems 10 publish unless his imperial high-
ness cares 10 buy them. The princes
attitude resembles that OF the Duke Of
Wellington IN a similar situation. Pub
lish and be hanged" He says there Is
nothing in the letters he wrote 70 Count
HOchberg that Is worth paying a penny

Recently King Leopold. OF Belgium. re-
ceived an anonymous letter from Liege
saying that the writer was an accompIice

at the foot OF the tree and then watch
what happened. The watchers had not
long 20 wait. A man who had evidently
been keeping an eye on them was seen TO
take the envelope.
The messengers promptly closed with
him and be has had an opportunity OF
thinking out fresh schemes IN prison.
The "Czar" OF Bulgaria had once 70
pay dearly 20 recover certain comproHis-
