EXECUTIVE COUNCIL NOT
SUBJECT TO COURT ORDER

Des MONIES, Ia, April 2S.-Attorney
General Cosson stated, today that an
appeal will be taken from decision of
Judge Brennan, Saturday, ordering the
executive council to obey the law in
assessing property, and not assess
farm lane values at a lower percent
age than town and city stuff. Cosson
says the state has no objection to the
decree, but will oppose the idea that
any district court has Jurisdiction
over the executive council. He says
any county court could issue a decr@e
in direct opposition to thatNof Judge
Brennan.

London, April 29.-Europe is trem-
ment attending the situation in the
Balkan provinces. A new Kingdom,
that of Albania, is in the process of the
making. but the plans of the European
concert seem to have been upset by the
proclamation of Essad Pasha. the he-
roic defender of Scutari, who has pro-
claimed himself king of the new Alban-
ia n is supposed to have the coop
GRAFTON of King Nicholas, OF Montene-
gro. Austria is reported to ave dis
patched troops from Trieste to the
Montenegro frontier with the purpose
of marching IN Cettinje. If occasion
warrants.
This Is FatefuI Day.
This is considered the fateful day in
the history of the Balkans problem in
which new and difficult complications
ave arisen. The a~mbassadorial con-
ference has to decide whether the Eur
epean concert shall coerce Montenegro
or whether Austria shal be left to act
alone in compelling the evacuation of
Scutari.
There is great warlike activity in
Austria and Archduke Franz. heir to
the throne, who is regarded as the lead
er of the military party, has returned
unexpectedly to Vienna from a holi-
day. He had a long conference yester-
dag with Emperor Francis Joseph.
Essad Pasha, the hero of Scutari, who
has had a picturesque and adventurous
career, made a dramatic move in pro-
claiming himself king of Albania. and
is said to be marching into the interior
of Albania, with 10000 men. He was re-
ceived with enthusiasm at Alessio and
is proceeding to Tierana to be pro-
claimed and to a possession.
Barbarian On Throne.
Essad Pasha is an Albanian chief
tain of the type which earned for the
Albanians a reputation for barbaric
simplicity approaching savagery. He
was always opposed to the young Turks
repressive measures in Albania. In
Vienna and Paris his surrender of Sou
tart is regarded as having been an ar
ranged matter with King Nicholas. who
approved his plan to proclaim himself
independent prince of Albania.
The whole scheme of the alleged
storming of Scutari and the marching
out of F,ssad Pasha's army with their
arms is now regarded as a coup d'thea-
ire to deceive Europe. Essad is said
to have Joined Djavid's army of 5000
men and If he has the support of Seryia
and Montenegro it will be a severe blow
for Austria.
A Belgrade dispatch to the T,ailv
Mall asserts that Essad Pasha's Alban-
ian standing assures his success and
nought ne has an alliance with Kins
Nlcholas. The dispatch adds hat Es-
SAD is approaching Tirania with o6. 600
troops an dthat Djavid Pasha win no

DISSEMSlON OVER
LOAN MAY N I'M
REVOLT I'M CHINA

Picking, April 29.-China today is de-
clared to be facing another revolution.
Leaders of the Kwo Ming Tang party,
the dominating politicaI organization
Of the new republic. are seeking the
custer of President Yuan Shi Kai, but
the president has absolute control of
the army, rendering the opposition al
most powerleSS.
Should a break occur in the army's
loyalty to the general who led them to
victory in the recent rebellion. the
overthrow of the administration would
not long be delayed. Yuan Shi Kai,
fearing assassination. is closely guard
ed within the forbidden city. the inn
pcrial headquarters of the ancient DIV
nasties of China.
! Loan Cause of Trouble.
China's day of prayer did not prove
over the f1ve-power loan. The loan.
which is for SIPS, 900, 900. was completed
Just before daybreak. the Chinese and
foreign signatories having assembled
late Saturday night to conclude the
details.
A delegation from the senate ana
house of representatives gathered out
side the British bank where the repre-
sentatlves OF the government and the
1ve power group met. The vice presi-
lent of the senate acted as spokesman
for the delegation. and, when an op-
- : VII HILL I. SoI-
Ter with the signatories, he explained
that the majority in parliament consid-
cred the loan Illegal.
Position of Yuan Shi kai.
Since the dynastic days. the question
of a loan has been discussed in various
forms and it threatens now to bring
about another revolution similar to
that caused by the Kuang loan. The
hve power bankers and the Chinese
government have arranged the loan
practically for Yuan Shi Kai's cabinet.
which Yuan Shi Kai completely domi-
mates. The cabinet contends that tho
government has a right to conclude
such a contract because the permaneny
assembly has not yet been constjt,lted,
and therefore. approval for the loan
by n provisional assembly holds good
In addition to the withdrawal of the
United States from the combination
however other alterations have been
made In the contracts since the assem-
bly, approved it.
Fear Consequence OF Revolt.
The Kwo Ming Tang p;.rt., which
rs the dominating political party, would
remove Yuan shi Kai by parliamentary
means or force. but neither is possible

CHAPTER XXI.
The Judges Grandson.

In that bare upper room they h&a
shared, the Judge, crushed and bro
ken, watched beside the bed on which
the dead man lay; unconscious OF the
flight OF time he sat with his head
bowed in his hands, having scarcely
altered his position since he begged
those who carried Mahaffy up the
narrow stairs to leave him alone with
his friend.
He was living over the past Ha
recalled his first meeting with Ma
haffy in the stuffy cabin Of the small
river packet from which they had
later gone ashore at Pleasantville; he
thanked God that it had been given
him to see beneath Solomon's forbid
ding exterior and into that starved
heart! He reviewed each phase OF
the almost insensible growth OF their
intimacy; he remembered Mahaffy's
fine true loyalty at the time OF his ar
rest-he thought Of Damon and
Pythias Mahaffy had reached the
heights of a sublime devotion; he
could only feel ennobled that he had
inspired 1t.
At last the dusk Of twilight in
vaded the room. He lighted the cam
dies on the chimneypiece, then he re-
sumed his seat and his former attt-
tude. Suddenly he became aware OF
a small hand that was resting on his
arm and glanced up; Hannibal had
stolen quietly into the room. The
boy pointed to the still figure on the
bed
Judge, what makes Mr. Mahaffy lie
so uuiet-is he dead?" he asked In a
whisper
Yves, dear lad" began the judge in
a shaking voice, as he drew Hannibal
toward him, your friend and mine is
dead-we have lost him." He lifted
the boy into bis lap, and Hannibal
pressed tear-stained face against
the Judges shoulder. How did you
get here?" the Judge questioned gent
iy.

voice broke, a thick sob rose choking
" In his throat. Poor Solomon! A
man of such tender feeling that he hid
Il from the world. for his was rare
nature which only revealed itself to
the chosen few he honored with his
love-" The Judge lapsed into a MOI
mentary brooding silence, in which
his great arms drew the boy closer
against his heart. Dear lad, since !
