NEWELL TO REPRESENT IOWA.
Wesley College Orator to Take Part
in Interstate Contest


Special to Times Republican.
Mt. Pleasant. April 2S-Mr Stanley
Newell Of Iowa Wesleyan. the winner
Of the Iowa state oratorical contest at
Des Moines last March, will represent
Iowa in the interstate contest, which
will be held at Earlham College, Rich
mond. Ind, May Is. Assurance Of this
fact was received this afternoon in a
letter from /. N. Cochran. of North
field, Mimi, secretary treasurer of the
Interstate Association, which stated
that Mr.. Newells grafton had passed
safely thru the elimination contest on
thought and composition and had
been adjudged worthy OF a place. The
fact that Mr.. NewelFs Grafton has been
accepted is distinct compliment not
only 10 him but to the state of Iowa.
Nine states compose the Inter State
Association. but two winning orations
are eliminated by the judges on
thought and composition so at the final
contest only seven states are repre-
sented 1t will be remembered that
some three weeks after the winning of
the Iowa state oratorical contest that
sensational charges of plagiarism were
registered against Mr.. Newell by the
president and secretary of the Iowa
association, without permitting Mr..
Newell TO make defense. Mr.. Newell
was Immediately exonerated when his
case was laid before the interstate
committee, and the fact that his ora
ton has been approved by the judges
shows that they were not biased in
their decision.

Washington, April os.-Not less sig

Galveston to Vera Cruz are the prep
arations made for heavy movements
of troop at Galveston and thruout the
country by the quartermaster's corps
of the army, which includes the quar-
termaster. subsistence and pay corps
Something Of the magnitude OF these
became known today.
II developed that enormous quanti-
ties Of army supplies of every sort have
been sent to Galveston or are on the
way there. From seventy Ave TO 100
carloads have been shipped and orderei
shipped in the last few days.
Furthermore, the quartermaster's
corps has supplies Of every sort for
which il is responsible sufficient to
furnish, in addition TO the regular army
and the national guard, $4,000 vol

army and the national guard are al

they would need for that time, save IS

This means that the quartermaster's

time the present supplies were used
up, and long before. the quantity could

The whole responsibility of suppl! :

rests now on one man. the head Of the

While waiting for his .handout' man

O'SHAUChNfSSY IS
 GIVEN PASSPORTS

Washington, April 23.-Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge at Mexico City, has been handed his passports by General Huerta and IS preparing to leave Mexico City.
 Charge O'Shaughnessy telegraphed the State Department under date of Wednesday night as follows:
 Having been given my passports, 1 am leaving tomorrow night or Fri day morning"
 The message was given out at 3:2O a. m.
 Huerta's handing of passports to Charge O'Shaughnessy was regarded as most sensational development in the situation, as it was believed to forecast a declaration of war on the part of Huerta The giving of pass ports to a minister or charge d'atfaires in most cases, though not invariably, has preceded declaration of war.
