STARVING FOR MONEY
Finance Is Present Master of
Situation in China.
imperial Ministers Are Making Des
perate Efforts to Secure Loan,
but Are Unsuccessful.

London, Dec. II. - The rekin cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says finance is gradually becoming
master of the situation in China For
four days the minister of finance has
been making desperate efforts to Dor
row 100000 taels (S1,S00,000)
The bankers hesitate to advance the
money and are waiting on the Ameri
can group of financiers who are doing
their utmost to persuade the Washing
ton government to reverse its decision
against loans.
The revolutionists regard loans to
the imperial government at this juno
ture as breach of neutrality. and II
any such are engineered reprisals will
be inevitable among innocent and iso
lated Europeans in various parts
Of the country. Among the many
divergent rumors now in circulation
the only one on which all agree is that
the empire, from the Amur to Ton
quin, is starving for money.

Eldora, Dec. 1S.-Possibly not in Iowa
is another man Of 50 years Of age serv-
ing as justice Of the peace and who
vigor to the extent as does Stephen
Whited, Of Eldora. Born on YounG's
Prairie. Cass county. Michigan. Chen
a territory Aug. II. 1929, he came to
Iowa in the spring Of 1855, settling first
in Wright county when there were but
fifty voters in the entire county. In
early life he learned the miller's trade,
subsequently taking up farming and
school teaching. In 1877 Mr.. Whitcd
was elected county auditor Of Hardin
county and served efficiently for three
terms. During his incumbency of the
office he unearthed defalcation of his
predecessor and was instrumental in
the prosecution of a defaulting treas
urer little ltaer on. During the dark
days of the war Of the rebellion Steph-
en- Whited offered his services to the
general government, but at Dubuque
was rejected on account of physical i'll
firmities. In 1896 he was appointed
deputy county auditor by Auditor Mil
Ter, serving we'll and faithfully for two
years. The following year he was
elected justice. of the peace in this. Ell
dora township, and has served contin-
uously since.
Mr.. Whited has been q republican all
his life assisting in the organization Of
the party in Michigan in 1856. He is
of literary turn OF, mind and has ever
taken an active interest in education
and library work, being largely respon-
sible for the perpetuity Of the Alden
and Eidora public libraries in the early
days and instrumental in establishing
the free public Carnegie library in this
city. In 1894 Mr. Whited was chosen
trustee Of the Eldora public library and
has been reappolnted to that position
by the several mayors since that time
He is now serving as president of the
library board and has never been
known to miss, one of the monthly
meetings when in the city.
