The developments In the Whlttletejr de
falcation case were very meager yesterday ,
Special Agent J. J. Crowley of the Treasury
department arrived from Chicago yesterday
morning a ad at once took up the work of
investigation , with a view of ascertaining
the amount of the shortage. iThls work nas
hampered by the reason that' all of the
records that could be found In Whlttlfaey's
office In the federal building and at his home
were In such a chaotic condition that they
were of little use fan ascertaining the amounts
he had received or the remittances he bad
made to the subtreasury at Chicago , At
Whlttlesey's home letters were found from
the department bearing date of last July ,
which Whlttlcsey had never taken the trouble
to open. The letters were opened and were
found to be rather urgent requests for re
mittances of receipts of customs that the
department knew were In Whlttlcssy's
hands. Mr. Crowley was unable to throw
any Hght upon , what appears to be the
strange negligence of the customs officials In
permitting the collector hereto retain for
so long a time such large amounts of money.
Mr. Crottley says the regulations of the de
partment require the consignee to receive the
goods shipped ! n 'bond within , forty-eight
hours after their arrival by rail. In case ot
neglect It becomes the duty of the collector
to unload the goods anji place them In a
separate warehouse to which ho alone must
hold the keys and which becomes In tact a
bonded warehouse. The expense ot this Is
to bo borne by the consignee. The belief Is
that Whlttlesey had made representations to
the department that he had be < a keeping
Maurer's goods In a bonded warehouse dur
ing all of the time that Intervened from
their arrival here until the present. Crowley
spent a part of the day In fsccrtalnlnB the
amounts that Whlttlesey had collected dur
ing the last year and a half The exact
shortage will not be known until the amounts
that have been remitted In that time have
been ascertained. The agent wired the
Treasury department yesterday for this
rtatcraent and It will be received today.
It Is not believed that the shortage will date
back further than July 1. The total receipts
ot the office slnco then , have been , as shown
by the 'books of W. A. Maurer , $5,7-18.00 It
Is believed that a portion of the ! has bc i
remitted. Dan Carrlgg said yesterday that
Whlttlcsey told him In July that he was
short $800 , and made an urgent appeal for
help In raising It. Carrlgg was In St. Louts
and Whlttlesey wired him to be sure and
get here by July 20 , so he could sendi in
the money OB the following Sunday. It was
the result of this appeal , Carrlgg says , that
ho loaned the collector $400 , which baa sub
sequently been paid back with the exception
of $75.
"Shorty" Norton. , who returned from the
south yesterday .morning and who Is sup
posed to have accompanied Whittlesey in
his flight , refused to make any kind of a
statement yesterday. 'If he has talked at all
th'e Information has been given to the officers
and has not been disclosed. The officers be- ,
lleve that he will eventually give them some
Information that will disclose the where
abouts of the fugitive. 'Absolutely ' no news
was received on this point yesterday. I
Many people have come forward and told
of the assertions made by Whlttlcsey that
ho was short In his accounts and was going '
to leave , and the wonder Is now that no word
ot this ever reached the bondsmen" , who will |
have to make up the shortage. Inspector I
Crowley said that the department had re
ceived no Intimation that anything- was
v.-rcng , and asserted that ho was not here on
Thursday especially for the purpose of
jhccklug up the office. He was doing some
business for the Treasury department in
Omaha arc ! used bis own discretion about
coming over here and filling In an Idle hour
by looking over Whlttlesey's accounts. "When
he found him absent he thought of nothing
wrong. The big envelope that Whlttlesey
left for Crowlej" at the Grand hotel was
opened yesterday and found to contain a note
saying that Whlttlesey 'was unavoidably ab
sent , but would be ready to meet the Inspec
tor on Friday. The note was written on
Friday morning , and was left at the hotel
whllo Whlttlesey was supposed to be on his
way to tnko the train for parts unknown
George H. Irwln , a. young man who has
been looking after Whlttlesey's work and
holding the commission ot deputy collector ,
was appointed yesterday to the vacancy.
The telegram making the appointment came
from Secretary Gage during the afternoon.
Irwln Immediately took possession of the
office and released a number of consignments
o ! goods that were waiting at the transfer.

Judge McGco made an Important ruling
yesterday morning In the ease of the State
again Zed Bethcrs , charged -with the theft
of several parto of several vehicles. When
the customary affidavit was filed yesterday
declaring that Judge McQeo was prejudiced
against a man whom he perhaps had never
seen ho refused to grant the application. The
ruling was a great shock to the attorneys
for Bothers , and led to a test ot the powers
of the court to make such a ruling. An
application was made to Judge Green In the
district court for a writ ot habeas corpus
ard argued with a good deal of vigor. The
writ was denied upon the ground that Judge
McGee had ample Jurisdiction and the charge
was not established that he was prejudiced.
The case will be heard In the police court
this morning.

MURDER TRIAL.
The trial of Frank Klony for murder will
begin tomorrow. Ho Is a Russian and was
brought here two months ago with a largo
number of other foreigners from Danville.
111. , to toke the place of strikers in tfie local
mines. A few days -after he came hoas
with a party of the Imported men and they
met some strikers on o highway. Klony
rose In the buggy Jo which ho was riding ,
took aim and flred a load of buckshot Into
Jesse Conway , who died a few days later.
The defense will be sensational. It will
allege that there was a carefully organized
conspiracy among the strikers to drive out
the Imported men and that the strikers had
armed themselves and wore prepared to do
any violence. It will bo charged that the
party of which Oonway was a member had
been to a meeting of strikers and was oo its
way to attack a camp of the now miners ;
that Klony and his friends had learned of it
and expectlnc to bo assaulted. Klnnv flwd
as he believed , In self-defense. The defense
claims It will prove that the strikers had a
regular Molly Maguhe organization and will
Implicate soma labor-Headers of local promi
nence.

HORTICULTURAL SOCI T .
The Iowa State Horticultural society met

about 125 members present. President F M
Powell of Glenwood , in tots annual address'
said that Iowa is
now established as one of
the great fruit states of the uulom The
Horticultural products are recognized In the
markets of the world. The mlsglvlnga df
the early horticulturists , who a generation
ago hoped to make fruit culture a measur
able success , have given place to confidence
based on long success. While the whole
state Is Interested In horticulture and there
has been evidence of a great extension , of In
terest latterly , only one person to every 4,000
of population belongs ito the society. He
suggested as a means to Increase the mem
bership that a series of cash prizes bo of
fered to young persons preparing essays on
agricultural and horticultural subjects for
the annual meetings of the state society and
Its auxiliary associations. He also proposed
premiums for exhibitors under 21 years of
age sending fruits of 'their own cultivation.

sions over the respective merits of the Wal-
bridge and Den Davis could be far more
profitably employed In developing a crop of
amateur horticulturists throughout the
state , " declared Mr. Powell.
President Powell declared his conviction ,
that the society ought now to establlbh a
Journal. Ho suggested a committee to In
vestigate and report at the next meeting. The
president sa3 ! ho
bad leceived many com
plaints from people who 'had bought nursery
stock that was represented to them as rec
ommended by the State Horticultural society.
The society does not give Its Indorsement to
any stock , and persons buying under such a
guaranty may fairly assume that they are
being swindled. Ho recommended that the
legislative committee undertake to secure
legislation looking to 'the severe punishment
of such swindles.
. In conclusion , ho recommended that the
society take steps at once to make an ex
hibit for Iowa at the Transmlsslsslppl arJl
International Exposition at Omaha. He said
Iowa ought to make the best display of fruits
which should bo seen at that show , and it
would be of Immense value to tbo state. lie
desired committees named to correspond and
negotiate at once with A. P. Coleman of
Corning , who has charge of this work for
the Iowa commissioners to the exposition *
Treasurer William at. Bomberger reported
for the year receipts of $5,816,47 , expendi
tures $3,837.31 , balance $1,929.13 ,
The crop reports presented by districts
averaged for the entire state indicated that

SIOUX CITY , Dec. 14. ( Special Telegram. )
The old fight between the Credits Commu
tation company of Sioux City and the Union
Pacific Is to bo renewed , Some time ago
this company , which Is the present holder of
the bonds and stock of the Sioux City , O'Noll
& Western Railway company , made an np-
pllcatlon by petition of Intervention to the
United States court for permission to con
nect an extension of the Sioux City road
with the Union Pacific. This was denied
by the court end now another effort Is to bo
made , but along another line. The propo
sition Is to attack the reorganization com
mittee which purchased the Union Pacific
at receiver's sale. The Commutation com
pany believes the condition of the sale of the
Union Pacific were wrong , and an attempt
will bo made to obstruct the reorganization
committee's movements. H will bo contended
that the decree of the sale * should bo subject
to the burdens and servitudes of the original
net , the fifteenth article of which elates th&t
any railway building from Dakota , Minnesota
or Iowa shall bo given the right to connect
with the Union Pacific at point to be desig
nated by the president of the United States ,
| I i and that Just and equitable arrangements
shall bo made. The Credits Commutation
,
! company expects n bitter fight from the
Vandorbllt syndicate , which bought the road
for $58,000,000. What the commutation com
pany wants Is a western outlet. It owns the
combination brldgo In Stoux City , and unless
the United States supreme court reverses
Judge Shlras It will bo the owner of the
Sioux City , O'Nell & Western road. This
Is a matter of vital Importance to Sioux
City , and the outcome of the fight is looked
forward to with Interest. Representatives
of the Credits Commutation company are
now In Washington.

Ksthcrvlllo Ilcoubllcan ! Our state debt Is
not o Isrgo that there need bo any appre
hension on the pnrt of anybody. It will soon
bo wiped out and our state Institutions will
not have to suffer on account ol It.
dlcnwooa Public Opinion : "An election
every other year" Is the cry which Is golnR
up all over the state , nnd the Opinion desires
to Join the criifade. The public now Buffers
from too much politics and too many cam
paigns. Let the laws be so amended that nil
county officers shall be elected at the same
time.
Dubuque Times : The proposition to create
n board ot control Is a good ono and OUR lit to
bo acted upon favorably by the legislature ,
There are several reasons for placing the state
Institutions under the control ot a single
board. The first Is that It would lessen the
expense of their management , which Is the
chief rmscxi ; and the second Is that the In
vestigation of. their condition from tltno to
tlmo can ba made more tirnctlcal.
