Washington knew more about the sub

TO discuss any pending diplomatic

When Col. House returned from his

TURKEY TIRED Of WAR,
BRITISH PRESS THINKS
Editorial Comment Based on Report
That Ottomans Will Seek
Peace.

LONDON, March 6-The morning
newspapers feature the news of the
alleged impending collapse of Turkey
as a participant in the war. The Daily
Telegraph speculates editorially on the
probable change that this would have
on the attitude of Rumania and Greece.
1t says:
"If the Turks are becoming weary OF
a struggle in which they were butch
cred to make Teuton holiday, what
attitude are Rumania and Greece likely
to assume? If Germany's great stra-
tegic move in the Balkans is threat
ened with failure, the entente allies
have every reason to descry the be-
ginning of the end"

W. P. HEPBURN
DEAD In IOWA
Was Author of Rate Act
and Served in Many
Congresses.

Clarinda. Iowa, Feb. 7.--Colonel Will
lam p. Hepburn, ex-member OF Con
gress from this district, died here %
day after a long illness.
Death resulted from kidney and heart
trouble. Colonel Hepburn was near
death last November, but rallied, and a
few weeks ago was so much improved
that he thought seriously OF returning
to Washington TO look after an exten-,
sive law practice which nc acquired
after leaving Congress.
About week ago his condition took
a turn for the worse and from that
time he lost ground steadily. Besides
the widow, a son and daughter survive
him.
"I emigrated from Ohio TO Iowa in a
steamboat" said william Peters Hep
burn, many years ago, IN recourtIng
hi. early experiences. Think OF ~.
Most people in those days, however
travelled in wagons"
Perhaps this was one reason WY IN
later years he became so prominently
den fed with railroad rate bills, 18th
mia. canal bills and other legislation
relating 10 travel and transportation.
Certainly, it marked him as one Of the
pioneers Of the western part OF the
Middle West, of which region he was
for many years a leading Represents
tive in Congress.
Mr.. Hepburn was born at Wellsvilie.
Columbiana County, Ohio, on Noyem
Der 4, 1888, and was taken by his fam
lily to Johnson County, Iowa, in l84),
where for some years he lived on a
farm.
Later they removed TO Iowa City
where young Hepburn served an sp-
premiership as a printer. He then read
law In Iowa City and Chicago and was
admitted to the bar in 1854. In 1850
he was married 10 Melvina. the eldest
daughte~ of DR.. NJ. J. Norsman, and in
February, 1856, removed to Marshall
town and began the practice Of law.
Early in 1861 he raised company o,
cavalry, which became a part OF IN 2
I'd Iowa Cavalry. In this regiment he
was successfully captain. major and
lieutenant colonel. In 1928 he va
on staff duty, first with General Sheri-
dan and afterwsrd with General Rose
crans.
He was a member Of the Republican
rational conventions in 1860 and 1883
and was Presidential Elector a.-large
in 1876 and 1888. He was a member Of
the 47th. 4Sth and 49th Congresses.
He was defeated in his candidacy for
the 50th Congress. but was returned 20
the SD and all others to and including
the Goth. In April. 1889. he was APP
POINTED Solicitor Of the Treasury and
served until his return to Congress in
1898.
Mr.. Hepburn was chairman Of the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce in the 59th Congress. and
the railroad rate bill which became a
law in the summer Of 1906 bore his
name. II increased the size Of the In
,erstatc Commerce Commission and en-
larged its powers. Mr.. Hepburn was
an earnest advocate of the Nicaragua
Canal project IN 1900. and bill bear
ing his name passed the House. but in
the Senate II was transformed into the
Spooner bill under the provisions o.
which the Panama Canal was con-
structed.

private Office was accorded TO them, but
afterward the facts went on file. eX-
actly a. they do IN the case Of ordinary

that Mr.. Tellegen's first name was lss-
dore. with Louis Bernard Edmund van
Donmelen for the rest of II. Miss
Farrar wrote that she had never been
married before, except on the stage,
