Why Germany Was Able to Sell
 Obsolete BattIeships to Turkey.

ODSolete BaGCIcSLipS 10 4urkcy'
 London, Sept. 13.-A telegram from Salonika throws new light on the re- cent purchase by Turkey of two anti quated German battleships for $45.- 100000.
 It will be rem embered that the Ottoman Government recently failed to recover the balance of ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid's fortune, which was lying in German banks. German diplomacy proved more amendablse than German law, and the Govern $40,00O,00 of Abdul Hamid's money, which was practically in German pos session, calling on the Ottoman eX- chequer only for tbe balance.
 The transaction is highly pleasing to both parties Turkey has been able to make use of the deposed Su1- tan's money, while Germany has been able to sell two obsolete war ships and to obtain prompt payment for them.

INDIGNANT OVER ARREST.
Many Friends Stand by Young Man
Wanted in illinois.


Shenandoah, Dec. 19.-An arrest that
has caused much feeling and surprise.
was that OF Dick Harshbergcr.
A letter came from an attorney In
southern Illinois directing the sheriff
ito arrest at once and hold Dick Harsh
berger, who was somewhere In this vi
cinity, and who was wanted on 4
charge of forgery alleged 10 have beer
committed In Plat county. Illinois,
Deputy Sheriff Ennis Moore located the
man and lodged him in jail until re-
leased upon writ OF habeaS corpus,
which brought the alleged criminal be-
fore Judge Castle at once. AS there
was no charge against him and no legal
authority for his arrest. the Judge dis
charged him. But he was Immediately
rearrested on a charge of fleeing from
Justice and taken before Justice Mat
tox, who bound him in $500 TO appear
before him later. Meantime the Illinois
attorney had made application TO Gov
ernor Carroll for a requisition. which
was granted. But he says he has two
strong points OF defense. that he didn't
do 1t and second he wasn't thcre-an
alibi.
He has been working near Bingham
for over two years and the people there
say he is all right and they stand by
him. Mr. Ferguson says he never saw
n young fellow who had SO many
friends. He could have given $4,000
bond IL needed. He Is but 20 years old.

TO OPPOSE DRAINAGE DITCH.
Farmers Organize at Carroll to Fight
Storm Creek Project.

Carroll, Dec. 19.-The beginning OF
another chapter in the famous Carroll
county Storm Creek drainage district
was opened here Saturday. when about
100 farmers met at the court house to
consider ways and means OF further
opposition to the project. Not all pres
ent were opposed to the project, but
most Of them were there for that pur-
pose The board at a recent session
ordered the ditch established. and any
action now taken will be in the nature
OF an application to the court for an
injunction restraining the board from
proceeding with the work.
Several of those present expressed
themselves on the subject. There was
general distrust or fear that the plans
Of the engineers. which appeared all
right on paper. would not, in operation.
do the work which it was claimed they
would do.
Committees were appointed to take
up the question and make an investi-
cation as to steps necessary to prevent
the drain being established.

NOT TEACHING MORALS
Professor starbuek Gathering Facts on
Iowa School Work for National A..
soeiation-simiIar Movement in 9th.
or States.

Iowa City, Dec. 19.-For the purpose
Of ascertaining what is being done In
the schools of the state Of Iowa relative
to moral training, Edwin D. Starbuck.
professor Of the department of philoso-
ply and psychology of the state uni
versity, has written to all the county
superintendents Of schools Of Iowa.
Professor Starbuck's letter is accom-
panied by eight questions concerning
moral teachings. The data gathered is
to be used by the professor at con-
ference of leading school men Of the
country to be held in New York City on
Feb. 1G and II. The movement Is being
conducted simultaneously in other
states of the union. So far as the re-
ports have come in to date the indica-
lions are that there is being but very
little done along this line Of training in
any Of the schools.
The questions that are asked in the
letter are as follows:
l. From your own observation. In
about what per cent Of the schools Of
Iowa would you say that specific eff
fort is being made at moral training?
2. What definitely. II any thing. are
you now attempting in moral training?
3. Have you periods set aside for d.
rect moral instruction? How often?
How do you succeed? What books or
other helps have you found useful?
4. Describe anything you are doing
thru the regular school occupations and
studies.
5. What difficulties do you encoun-
ter, such as Indifference OF pupil, fall
ure to vitalize the subject and the like?
6. What are some Of the things in
school life that you personally have
found leading to immortality?

Blow 10 wife. Who Takes Body East.

Burlington, Dec. 19.-Perhaps. as he
would have preferred 1t, If he could
have had his choice. Frank H. White
mack passed away late Saturday even
ong ON his way to the hospital. He
had been playing at the Garrick and 1t
was noted that he seemed to be stag
rerinr and almost dazed while doing
his turn. He ascribed his condition to
stomach trouble. but went thru his
turn. ana seemed elated over the ap-
plause which he had SO fairly earned.
Then he washed up and was preparing
to 10 out upon the street, when he coll
lapsed in his dressing room. OF course,
help was at hand at once. for there are
none so ready to extend aid as the show
folks, and all ambulance was summon
ed, and, accompanied by Mrs. White
mack and physician. the trip to the
hospital was begun. It was never fin
ished. Whitenack died a few minutes
after having been placed in the ambu-
lance.
Frank H. whitenack, generally
known at white" was a veteran of
the stage. He was Sc years Of age.
and had appeared with many we'll
known people, among them May 1r-
win. and had during several seasons
been a member Of the famous Dock
tader Minstrel Company. OF late he
had been in vaudeville. the name of the
team being White and Simmons. He
was considered good all-around man.
and so far as known he had been one
of the comparatively few In the profess
sion who had been able to provide for
the rainy day. His home is in Newark.
N. J., and the wife started for home
at IL o'clock Saturday night with the
body. It was a terrible blow for her,
and yet she had the satisfaction of
knowing that her husband suffered but
very little.
Whitenack was a member Of the orr
der of Elks, and the local brethren ex-
tended all possible aid. and practically
took charge Of everything. During his
brief stay in the city Mr.. Whitenack
had made some friends and acquaint-
ances, who will keep his memory
green, and in the ranks Of his profess
ion there are very many who had
come to know him well and who will
ever hold him in kindly remembrance.
