MONUMENT WILL BE MOVED
Iowa Soldiers' Memorial to Be Placed

TO HELP MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY
Pons of Veterans to Come to Ite-cue

Improving State Fair,,
I'ark.
(From Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Juna 12. (Special.) There
In very llttlo doubt thftt the action taken
by the Grand Army of the Republic, de
partment of Iowa, in recommending that
the legislature appropriate money for re
moval of the Iowa monument to the sold
iers and sailors, will result in that being
done, though probably not Immediately
When the monument was erecled some fif
teen years ago there was much wrangling
over tno locaUon and great opposition to
having it placed wh.-re it l. But tl atate
owned tho ground, which Is back of the
state capitol and there did not scum to be
airy other desirable location and the shaft
was erected there. At the tame time there
was a great deal of rtlclsm because of
the alleged inartistic .character of the
work, though this has all disappeared, and
there was much adverse comment because
there was placed on the monument medal
lions representing some of the Iowa sold
iers. Including well known men. Now
the proposal la to have the monument
moved to a location near the center of
the city, near the river front. The city Is
engaged In Improving the banks of the
river and making parks, and several pub
lic buildings havo been erected along the
river. Including the postofflce, the city li
brary, the coliseum and the city hall. The
monument. If placed there, would be seen
by thousands to where It la visited by one
now.
. Did Not Pass on General Lee.
It was' expected that the 'department en
campment would distinctly disapprove of
the placing of the Let statue In statuary
hall at Washington, aa this was desired
by a large number of the active members,
but better counsels prevailed and no ac
tion was taken, since It would be taken
aa an Interference In something about
which opinions might differ, but several
f the posts of Iowa have taken action
Indicating disapproval of the Lee statue.
Help Memorial University.
- 7'he 6ons of Veterans and other organi
sations are heading a movement to give
national aid to the Memorial university at
Mason City. This la a small college which
was started a few yeasr ago to be dis
tinctly supported by the members of patri
otic orders and having as an Ideal the
teaching of highest forms of patriotism.
'Jse college has not prospered. Now the
desire Is to have several chairs endowed
and maintained and possibly to have some
general aid given. Whether or not congress
will be asked to help remains to be seen.
Preparing; a Fair Park.
'The last few months the State Agricul
tural Board haa had at work on the state
property which Is used for the state fair
a landscape gardener, who Is laying out
the same. The tract of ground Is said to
be one of the finest for thla purpose In
the state. Avenues and boulevards will be
built and the finest of trees ami shrubbery
will be used to make tt a beautiful place.
Not much work can be done this year,
but the plans will be adopted so that all
work done In the future will be with , a
view to perfecting the grounds. '.
Placing; -Bibles la Homes.
The' Iowa Bible society has re-elected
President J. II. T. Main of Orlnnell col
lege to be president for the ensuing year,
and most of the college presidents of the
state are directors. The society la en
caged In placing Bibles In homes that are
found to be without them, and several
thousand homes were supplied last year.
The plan la this year to have the Iowa so
ciety affiliated with the American Bible
society In order that the work, may be
done in conjunction therewith.
Investigation of ' Institutions.
It Is expected that the preliminary in
vestigation by the grand Jury In Polk
county of the state school for girls at
Mltrjicllvllle will be followed by other In
vestigations. The belief now prevails that
the general management of Institutions,
especially the laut year has not been as
good as It should have been. The last
legislature started a movement for Inves
tigation and carried on the work for a
time but only In 'a small way, and now
It Is planned that a larger Investigation be
made. - ;
Wilt Baeeeeed Cosson.
It Is expected that Anthony McCall of
Woodward . will succeed Senator George
Cosson of Audubon, In the state senate.
He will have the backing of Dallas county
republicans. In case Senator Cosson, who
has been Dominated for attorney general
resigns before the holding of the county
conventions, his successor will be named
at a congressional convention; but If his
resignation la withheld the ticket will be
filled in another way. Senator Cosson Is
sure of election to the office of attorney
general.
Bishop Lewie In Iowa.
Bishop W. a Lewis, who haa charge of
the Methodist missions In China, formerly
president fo Mornlngslde college, Sioux
City, addressed a mass meeting In Des
Moinea today. lie was elected to the
board of bishops by the general confer
ence of the Methodist church held In Ra.1.
tlmore In 1808. He has spent most of his
time in Chins, His work as an educator
at Mornlngslde college was ao noticeable
that It attracted the attention of the en
tire Methodist church and led to his elec
tion aa bishop, ills portrait waa placed
in the state historical building with appro
priate ceremonies about a year am. ir.
waa the first citlxen of Iowa to be elected
bishop In the Methodist Episcopal church.

Tobacco King Finally Weds Miss
Wylanta Rochelle After Trouble
some Time at Capital.
I
WASHINGTON, June 12-Brodlo L. Duke
and Miss Wylanta Rochelle were mar
ried in Camden, N. J., today. Frustrated
here yesterday In his attempt to take unto
himself a fourth wife by unexpected and
mutt unweluoino publicity and by the an
tipathy of Presbyterian ministers to the
mnrrLigo of divorced persons, the tobacco
magnate of Durham, N. C., and his protege
and would-be bride vanished from this
place and were gone until late today, when
they returned to the local hotel, where Mr.
Duke was staying before hla disappearance
and the name of "Mrs. H. I. Duke, North
Carolina" was added to the register.
"Just say I'm married," said Mr. tDuke
to the newspaper men, who beaet hlrrt upon
his arrival.
"When? Where? How? Cried the re
porters. In eager chorus.
"None of your business," retorted the
bridegroom, none too genially and bolted
upstairs. '
The statement that tho couple was mar
ried today at 11 a. m., "somewhere In New
Jersey," Is credited to William Haskell, a
friend of the tobacco man. This wbb ren
dered more spcclfio subsequently, when a
newspaper man Induced its custodian to
show the wedding certificate, - which re
vealed Camden as the place, where the
ceremony was peTformea.
Mr. Duke is 62 years old and his bride
28. II Us Rochella is a daughter of a
Durham merchant and was a student at a
private school here conducted by MIhb
Mary C. Horsley. Mr. Duke arrived In
the capital yesterday, but despite carefully
laid plans was unable to havo the occas
ion unnoticed.
The ceremony today was performed at
Camden,, by Justice of the Peace H. F.
Garrison, and the witnesses were Mr. and
Mr. Frank Hill.

their part of the work the ranch would go
to the devil. Wild horses - couldn't have
held them back then.
"It was 'Daddy said I must do this.' and
Daddy said I must do that' from night to
morning. Their work was cut out for them
and they did it. And that's the answer.
Make a child fear Its own importance; tea?h
It to realise that each haa a task to per
forin and that task an Important part In
the day's work and it is a mighty sorry boy
or girl that will not arise to the ocasslon."
"Perhaps your boys would have had bet
ter educational advantages bad they lived
In the city," was auggested.
"No they wouldn't," the captain quickly
answered. "They have lived close to na
ture and they have atudled it Their book
learning hasn't suffered either, for they
are Just as well advanced In their studies,
I find, as the average city child of their
age. Their kindergarten course was ob
tained In the ranch corral. Horses, dogs,
wolf and bear cubs were their playmates
from Infancy and their knowledge of the
traits and habits of each of these ani
mals la Intimate aa my own, and 'I have
been studying them forty-five years."
"What are you going to make .out of
your boys?" the captain waa asked.
It's I7a to tho Boys. -
"That's for them to decide. Each shall
have a college education. Harvard will be
their alma mater unless they suffer a change
of heart. Tou know they fairly worship
Colonel Roosevelt, and he la a Harvard
man. Anything the colonel does, or has
done. Is perfectly alright in -their eyes, for
next to their 'daddy,'; he Is the greatest
man In the world. v
"Colonel Roosevelt believes he Is a
mighty wolf hunter," Captain Abernathy
continued, "but my boys can give him
cards and spades and beat him out. Temple
waa Just S years old when he went on his
first wolf hunt."
, "How are you going to amuse your boy a
while in New York?"
"Why, they are going to amuse me. They
have much to aee here and they will want
to see It all. Of course, many plana have
been made for their entertainment, but
If I don't put the brakes on somewhere
I am afraid they will get spoiled. I shall
let them see all that is best for them, but
there shall be no exoesaes nor late hours.
They are used to going to bed with the
chickens .and they arise before daylight. I
expect there will be a merry time in the
hotel when late sleepers have their morning
naps interrupted, for they are accustomed
to doing aa they please at home."-
Oklahoma City
May Be Capital
Beliered to Have Been Chosen in
Three-Cornered Fight with
Guthrie and Shawnee.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Juno 12. A conserv
ative estimate, based on the returns from
forty of the seventy counties of Oklahoma,
Is that Oklahoma City has won over
Guthrie and Shawnee In the contest over
the location of the state capitol by 60,000
plurality.
Sixty-five counties of the state voted af
firmatively on the proposition that the
eapitol be permanently located at this
time. The opposition to the proposition
was based on the-clause in the state con
stitution which provides that Guthrie
Should remain the capitol until 191S.
' The amendment to the constitution pro
ving for the repeal of the clause that
proh bits the purchase of new railroads by
established lines waa defeated by a major
tty of nbout 20,000.

Kebraska and Normal Board.
The Indications are that It will be many
years beforts Nebraska recovers from its
experience with the democratic legislature
hlch first dragged tho state normal
schools Into politics and attempted to
make them a part of a democratic political
machine. After the act had been passed,
which was done solely for tho purpose of
creating a democratic normal board, Gov
ernor Shallenberger appointed his demo
cratic board, even refusing to reappoint
D. W. Hayes, a democrat, because the lat
ter owed his first place to Governor Shel
don, a republican.
The democratic normal board was In con
trol of the two normals for seven months.
during which time the act was being tested
In the supreme court. 10 spent money so
lavishly at the Peru normal that Mr.
Hayes, the newly elected principal, takes
charge of a school practically "broke"
financially.
The supreme court declared unconstitu
tional the act of the democratic legislature
and the regular normal board again took
charge of affairs, since, which time It has
been trying to straighten out the tangle
left by tho democratic board and Principal
Crabtree. It ordered the credits reported
from those students who had been gradu
ated so that legal certificates could be
Issued to them. Principal Crabtree has
failed to make good In many Instances and
as a result numerous graduates are teach
ing contrary to law, without a legal certifi
cate. '
University Commencement.
The baccalaureate sermon to the students
of the state university was delivered to
night by the Rev. Mr. William Henry Buss
of Fremont, his subject being "The Con
servation of the Soul." ,
Remarkable I.aie of Memory,
No public explanation has yet come to
Lincoln of the action of the demochatic
state committee In neglecting to have read
the letter sent by Mr. Bfyan to the chair
man of the local arrangements committee
in charge of the Kearney banquet It Is
possible that this incident will take Its
place along with the other two remark
able lapses of memory. The chairman of
the arrangement committee in charge of
the democratic love feast at Beaver City
"forgot" to read a speech Mr. Bryan had
sent him for that purpose. The second
lapse was recorded when Leo Matthews,
secretary to the democratic state com
mittee, "forgot" to include In hla minutes
a notation that the Oregon plan of elect
ing United States senators had been acted
upon at a recent committee meeting. He
recalled the Incident after attending a dem
ocratic banquet at Kearney. It ia sup
posed now that the chairman of the Kear
ney banquet will also allege In his own
dnfense that he too had a "lapse of mem
ory."

of the meeting of the Fourth of July com
mittees. About thirty were In attendance.

the following officers: President, Dr. J.
C. Bowman; vice president, O. J.- McDou

had expressed a desire to co-operate with
the Tecumseh men in making the roads
better. The excellent work that Is being
carried on at Cook waa cited and the
method of procedure here will be about
as It Is there. The local association will
devote Its energies to dragging the roads,
taking the main traveled ones which lead
into the city first and eventually branch
ing out to side roads. A motion pre
vailed that the chair appoint a committee
of five to represent 'the association, this
committee to go before the county board
at the next regular meeting, Tuesday, and
to outline the work as planned and ask
the co-operation of the hoard. It will also
be the work of the committee to take

L. I
ST. PAUL Minn., June 12-Former For
ester Glfford Pinchot and former Secretary
of the Interior James R. Garfield were
guests of honor at a reception and banquet
given by the St. Paul Roosevelt club at the
Ryan hotel last night Decorations of the
speakers' table consisted of miniature
mountains, forests, waterfalls and roada,
with a miniature train propelled by electri
city whlzEhig past.
Justice E. A. JuKgard of the Minnesota
supreme court was toastinaater. Introduc
ing Judge Jaggard. President Halbert ot the
Roosevelt club awakened the enthusiasm of
the banqueters by a reference to an un
named new party, "some of the leader of
which," he said, were present
"TSat party may be unnamed, but Its
'.eaders are Theodore Roosevelt and our
honored guests, Glfford Tlnchot and James
R. Garflcid."
Mr. Garfield talked vn "Tho Ultimate Re
sults of Conservation," and jhe set address
of the evening was that of Mr. Pinchot,
who spoke on "Our National Resources,
and How to Conserve Them."
Mr. Plnehot's Address.
Mr. Pinchot said In part:
Conservation has captured the nation. Its
progress during the last twelve months Is
unixing. Otticlal opposition to toe con
servation movement, wnatever damage it
lias done or still tnreatens to tne puollc
interest, has vastly streiiHCnened tne grasp
of conservation upon the minds and con
science of our people. Kfforts to obscure
or belittle tne Issue have only served tj
make it larger and clearer in tne public
estimation. The conservation movement
cannot be checKed by the baseless charge
that it will prevent development, or tnat
every man who tells tne plain truth Is
either a inuckrsker or a demagogue. It
has taken firm hold on our national moral
sense, and when an issue does tnat it has
won.
The conservation issue Is a moral Issue,
and the heart of It Is this: For whose
benefit shall our natural resources be con
servedfor the benefit of us all, or tor tne
uee and profit of the tew? Tnls truth Is
so obvious and the .question Itself so sim
ple that the attitude toward conservation
of any man In publio or private lite In
dicates bis stand in the tight lor public
rights.
All monopoly rests on the unregulated
control of natural resources and natural
advantages, and such control ny tlie spe
cial Interests Is Impossible without the help
of politics. The alliance between business
ana politics Is the most dangerous thing in
our political life. It- is the snake tnat we
must kill. The special Interests must get
out 'of politics, or the American people will
put them out of business. There Is no
tnird course.
Confidence In Coaarress .oat.
Because the special Interests are In poli
tics we as a nation have lost confidence In
congress. This Is a serious statement to
make, but it Is tr ie. It does not apply, of
course, i to the men who really represent
their constituents and who are making so
fine a fight for the conservation of self
government as soon as these men have
won tneir battle and consolidated tliolr vic
tory confidence In congress will return.
The overshadowing question before the
American people today is this: Shall the
nation govern ltaelf or shall; the Interests
run thla country? The one great political
demand, underlying all others, giving mean
ing to all others. Is this: The special In
terests must get out of politics. The old
style leaders, seeking to switch public at
tention away from tnis one absorbing and
overwhelming issue are Pitifully ridiculous
and out ot date. To try to divert tha march
ol an aroused puoiio conscience irom mis
righteous. Inevitable conflict by means of
obsolete political catchwords 1b like trying
to uam tne Mississippi with dead leaves.
One Remedy Sufarested.
There can be no legislative cure all for

Leslie M. Shaw -Scores
Policies
of Insurgents,
Former Secretary of Treasury Tell.
Hawkeye Club "Standpat" Idea .
is Only Logical Frinciple.
CHICAGO, June 12. -Leslie M. Shaw for
mer secretary of the treasury, speaking be
fore members of the Hawkeye Fellowship
club here today, scored "Insurgents.". In the
republican party, declared "stundpat" Ideas
the only logical principles of government
and stigmatised the south as Ignorant on
political Questions.
Mr. Shaw's remarks regarding the south
were given an unexpected dramatic twist
when a southern born newspaper man who
was reporting the address so far forgot
himself that he shouted:
"It isn't so."
"It Is true," responded the former secre
tary, as he reiterated his statements.
"The south Is ths best place in the world
to make a speech," he said, "because the
people are so Ignorant of political questions.
It Is not their fault; the burden ot the
great struggle Is still upon them. But for
all that, nowhere Is there greater ignorance
nor greater eagerness to know."
Championing 'standpat" methods of legis
lation, particularly In regard to the tariff
law, Mr. Shaw said:
"The people can't make tho tariff. ' It
would be ap wise to expect the stockholders
to run a railroad." v
Earlier In his speech he took occasion ha
make this statement regarding the "Insur
gents" In the republican party; ' ' 'r
"I have no more respect for those people
who style themselves republicans and are
not than for those democrats who live In
Florida and pretend to be democrats and
are not"
Mr. Shaw had announced that he would
speak upon the subject, ,"Ev6lutlon WPoll
tlcs." His digressions from . the subject
however, became vastly more Interesting.
"When I was nominated for governor In
Iowa in 1897," he began, "my canvass cost
me exactly 250, and a great democratlo
paper said that the machine was broken.
My canvass cost me 2C0. No man In my
state today could be elected without a ma
chine behind him unless he spent $500,000.
"This is evolution in politics.
"In Illinois not long ago a resident of the
state of Washington entered the senatorial
contest and he got 20,000 votes.
"This, too, is evolution in politics,"
Athletic Burglar
Proves Mystery
Claims to Be Raymond Wiley, Former
Pennsylvania Star, but Story
is Doubted. 1
t
LOS ANGELES, June 1?. So many dis
crepancies have appeared in the various
statements made by Raymond M. Wiley,
the burglar captured last night at the home
of James Yankee In this city, that the
detectives who have been looking up his
record are now in doubt as to -whether he
is the former college athlete and son of a
wealthy family that he claims to be, or
an impoHter who may have a long criminal
record. Few of the statements made by
Wiley thus far have been verified. Even
the spelling of hM fiame casts 'doubt upon
his story. ' -
Wiley's appearance would bear out his
claim that he was once an athlete of note.
Because of doubt as to his antecedent hla
arraignment was delayed until Monday,"
Arming himself with a revolver, he came
to thla city yesterday, visited a number
of saloons, and In the evening walked into
the residence district and selected the
Yankee homo for the beginning of his
operations.
Following the athlete's surprise by Mr,
Yankee and the summons of assistance, it
required the efforts of twelve men to sub
due and bind him. .
Wiley when searched had three diamond
rings and a gold stickpin and a gold neck
lace which., he bad taken from the Yankee
home.
