age of Eugene F. Bates in the rear
of his residence on North Main street,
entailing a loss of probably $4,000
or more. Three touring cars and
three. runabouts were reduced to Gin

This car was looked upon as one OF
the best in the city, being in per-
feet state of repair and one of the
smoothest running machines to be
found here. Robert Sanders lost a
5000 Hupmobile runabout. Two Ford
runabouts and one Walters touring
car, the property of the foreman OF
the garage, were completely Destroy
ed. Two officials of the fire depart

an engine with gasoline and smoking
a. cigarette at the same time was re-
sponsible for the destructive blaze
Only the 5000 Hupmobile was insur-
ed and this only partially.

Hoke Smith Takes Office.

Atlanta, July 1.-Hoke Smith to-
day was inaugurated governor OF
Georgia for the second time in his
life. The inaugural ceremony was
remarkable for it's simplicity with
almost a total absence of show. The
oath of Office was administered to the
new governor by Chief Justice Fish
in the presence of the two houses OF
the legislature which met in joint
session in the hall of the house OF
representatives.
Following the delivery of the great
seal of Georgia to Gov. Smith by the
retiring executive, Joseph NJ. Brown,
the former began his inaugural ad-
dress. An informal reception in the
governors Office concluded the cere-
mony.
In his address, Gov. Smith recon-
mended the appointment of commits
sions to remodel the insurance, bank
ing and corporation laws of the State:
the extension of the Western and At
lantic railroad to the ocean; the Gre
alton of a highway commission and a
bureau of labor; the holding of State
elections in November and the pay
ment of managers of Statewide pri-
maries by the State instead of by the
candidates; legislation remodeling
the States school system, and the
furnishing to farmers of information
to enable them to develop the agricul-
tural interests of the State.

NATIONS WEALTH is JUNK.
Tons of Korean Money on New
York Dock.

With 1,400 tons of Korean money
on board as part of the cargo, the
steamship Seneca, of the Standard
Oil Company's fleet, arrived at the
Bush docks, Brooklyn. The tons and
tons of money are only part of what
is to come. From time to time other
vessels will arrive in the next month
or two from Korea, bringing tons of
money, until a total of 10000 tons
has been brought to this country.
That amount includes all of the
money Korea owned when Japan an
nexed that country and decided that
Korean money should be replaced by
Japanese currency.
The money, in casks. was piled on
the docks. There are no special po-
licemen guarding with rifles what
was once a nations wealth, as the
coins are merely valued as SO much
old metal now. Each of the coins,
which were known as "cash' in
Korea, and which, like Chinese
money, were made round, but having
a square cut in the center, has been
cut in two pieces.
Soon after the Japanese govern
ment decided to replace the Korean
"cash" with japanese currency a
group of Americans formed syndi-
cate and bought up all of the dis
carded money. AS fast as it arrives
in this country the money will be
taken to the smelling mills of the
United States Metals Refining Com
pany at Chrome, N. j., and melted
up. The various metals extracted
from the coins will be remolded into
bars and sold in commerce. Consid-
cradle copper and silver will be OBJ
tanned from the coins, which are
mostly alloys of those metals.
The Seneca picked up the coins at
Hongkong after it had brought car
go of oil to Europe and Asiatic ports.

MONEY MSAPPROPRIATED.
Committee Finds Dereliction in State
Department.

Washington, June 2S.-Expressing
the belief that there was misap-
preparation of state department
funds and recommending as result,
the dismissal from the service of Will
liam H. Michael, American consul
general at Calcutta and former chief
of the state department, and of Thos.
Morrison, disbursing clerk of the de-
partment, the subcommittee of the
house committee on expenditures IN
the state department to-day met and
adopted the report, which tomorrow
it will present to the full committee.
The alleged misrepresentation oc-
Cured in connection with the pur-
chase of a portrait of Associate JUS
tice Day, former secretary of state,
and amounted to $1,000.
Where Did 1t Go?
Only $3.50 was paid to Albert Ros-
enthal, the artist who painted the pic
ture, whereas, the committee during
it's Investigations traced to a single
voucher the sum, of $2,450, on which
voucher were written the words "for
portrait and frame of ex-Secretary
Day."
Neither the president nor the Sec
retary of state, according to the re-
port, has the right to pay for por-
traits for former secretaries of state
from the emergency fund from which
came the money to pay for the por-
trait in question. The testimony hav-
ing showed that the $1,000 accounted
for was in the hands of Morrison as
disbursing clerk and of Michael as
chief clerk, the committee holds that
the money was misappropriated
either by Michael and Morrison JOINT
ly, or by Michael alone.
Beyond Human Belief.
The mysterious finding of the
voucher for $2,450 which was re-
ported lost when the committee be-
gan us luVoSUSdtiOu, uut WAiCA ie1"SA
was discovered by messenger on
the floor in the disbursing clerks
Office is criticised by the committee
in it's report as beyond human belief.
Both Morrison and Michael should
be removed from Office, in the opini-
on of the committee, for the good OF
the public service.
The subcommittee consists of Rep
resentatives Hamlin, of Missouri,
chairman of the committee; Dent OF
Alabama, and Davis of Minnesota, a
Republican. AS three are in favor
of the report and as only one other
vote is needed to have it adopted by
the full committee, it is felt that no
doubt exists as to the outcome. In
case the president and secretary OF
state take no action in the case, it
was pointed out to-day by a mem
Der of a committee, a resolution
probably will be introduced, calling
on them to dismiss the two men.

Dale, No. l2277

To get horse not closely related to
our mares, and suitable in every way
to head our Clydesdale stud, we very
reluctantly parted with our almost
peerless 81 allion, Star No. 1926, that
made the seasons of 1909 and 1910 in
Cresco, to the satisfaction of SO many
progressive and intelligent horsemen.
Now we offer up to your critical judg-
ment and for your esteemed patronage
the pure bred CIydesdale stallion
DALE" No. 1927, a full brother in
blood to "Star" No. 1926. Although
"Dale" was placed second to that
pleasing winner in the show ring, he is
superior to him in some points. Both
of these stations have been tested
as to breeders on our North Star
Farm, and in the aize and quality of
their colts from the same mares, they
are about tie. If any difference
"Dale" has it on "Star."
Dale's fee is SIS 90 to insure a live
colt. Care will be taken to guard
against accident. but all mares are at
owners risk. Owners of mares who
dispose of or remove same from the
community will be held for service fee
unless satisfactory evidence of not in
foal is produced.
Dale will make the season at Whites
Livery Barn, Cresco, with the except
ion of Mondays and Tuesdays.
Dale is bright bay Clydesdale stall
lion of draft horse type, blocky build,
with short, heavy, flat limbs and good
feet. He was eoaled, May IS, 1905,

STATURE.
Prosecutors Bafk Designs Of Solons
Sought Immunity
Baths.

Columbus, Ohio. May 3.-Ohio legis-
lators who hoped, by testifying be-
fore the grand jury now investigating
bribery in the assembly, to escape con-
viction by means of an immunity bath,
we're disappointed when Prosecuting
Attorney Turner and Attorney General
Hogan refused to accept their testi-
mony. Other immunity baths were
headed off when an investigation by a
legislative committee was deferred I'M
til after the grand jury finishes its
work.
Throughout the day the grand jury
was in session and among its witness
es besides detectives, who disclosed
the corruption was Governor Harmon
and Judge A. z. Blair of Portsmouth.
who conducted the recent campaign
which resulted in the disfranchisement
of 1900 voters in Adams county for
election frauds. A bill is pending in
the assembly, to legislate Blair out of
his present judicial district and out of
place on the bench. Rumors have
been current of wrong doing in connec-
ton with the measure. Detective w.
]. Burns was at the courthouse, but
did not testify. The grand jury made
no report last night.
The house calendar committee, of
which DR.. George B. Nye, one of the
early central figures in the bribery
disclosure, was an active member,
practically went out of existence. The
Republican and Democratic floor lead
ers, Representatives Langdon and Rus
sell respectively, first declared they
would resign from the committee I'M
less DR.. Nye and one other quit at
once. The two threatened members
declined, but later, all of the seven
members save DR.. Nye turned in their
designations to the house.
Representative Greeves introduced
. bill to make 1t mandatory upon
Judges to give legislators convicted of
bribery penitentiary sentence. I'm
der present statutes they can be let
of with fines.
Detective Burns declared that Ohio
assemblymen, who he alleged had
been caught in bribery traps, were the
biggest and boldest grafters" he had
ever run across"
He would not predict how many as
semblymen would be involved,

BOARD ISSUES A STATEMENT
Says There Is No MIsunderstand'n0
Between Commissioners and the
Attorney General and the Two
Departments Must Work
In Harmony.

Des Moines.-The state railroad
commission have practically put
1t up to Commissioner Thorne to act
with the commission in the rate case
or get entirely out of the way. The
board makes it plain that whether
Commissioner Thorne acts with it or
refuses to take any part with the
commission in the express rate case,
that the commission, acting as state
body, will work in harmony with At
torney General Cosson to win the
state rate fight.
The commission also makes 1t plain
that Commissioner ThOrne'S declara-
ton of withdrawal will have no ef-
tect on it's action In the case.
The board issued a statement set
ting forth it's position in the contro-
versy and making it plain that the
board will have nothing to do with
personal quarrels." In some few quar-
kers there is an apparent misunder-
standing of the situation with respect
10 the express rate cases about to
be heard before Judge Mcpherson.
This is not final hearing before
Judge Mcpherson; in fact, it is only
the preliminary hearing upon tenn
porary injunction. Whichever way
this case may be decided by Judge
Mcpherson at this time, the case will
have to be heard on It's merits be-
lore the same Judge at later date.
Furthermore, there is no misunder-
standing whatever between the rail.
road commission as such and the at
torney general, and these two depart
ments will work In absolute harmony
and perfect sympathy in the handling
Of these cases. With personal quar-
rels' the commission has nothing
whatever to do, but with the per-
Torrance of its duty under the law,
It has everything to do, and whether
any one person or another may de-
cline to take part in the proceedings
now under way, let the public under
stand once for all, that the attorney
general and the railroad commission
will work together without friction to
protect the interests of the people of
Iowa.

Milk Testers Are Anxious.

The enactment of law by the last

testers to have licenses from the

Heretofore the operators of the test
ers have not been required to hold
licenses. Many of them, not knowing
Commissioner Barney does not in

ance with the law, have been writing
In to him for certificates, fearing that
II they do not secure one at once that
they will be prosecuted under the
terms of the act.
Commissioner Barney does not plan
to put the law fully into force until
July 4. Within the next week he will
put representatives of the food and
dairy department into one or two ci
ties in each county. These men will
issue the licenses to all operators OF
milk and cream testers. BY July
1t is believed that by this system the
state will be thoroughly covered
Thereafter any person found operat
ing milk and cream tester and who
does not hold license will be prose
cuted.
