TITE OMATTA DAILY TirAZ: MONDAY. JULY 3. 100.".. i.'v i 5 P 7 CURRENT COUNCIL CLUE TO FATE OF SPETMAN i Hat and Umbrella Foand on Hirer Sank by a Bst. ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO SUICIDE Snffrrlna- from Tumor on the Drill for W hich There Was o Relief, Famllr la Fearful of Ills Tmk. In Hit Own Mfe. Th finding of his coat and umbrella on the river bsr.k leaves little room for doubt but that 'William C Spetman, who dis appeared from hi home at 70S RlufT street early Saturday morning, ended his troubles by drowning himself In the Missouri river. The hat and umbrella were found by a boy named Edward Fhar, but the fart of their discovery was not trade known to the membra of the missing man's family, until last evening, when the second searching party, which had been formed to follow a clue to the effect that Mr. Spetman had been ten going north, arrived at Big lake. Here they discovered the tirnhrrlla In the possession f the caretaker and from him learned that the hat and umbrella had been discovered on the river bank the day be ore by young Sharp. According to young Sharp he found the hat and umbrella at a point nhout'a quar ter of a mile north of the Illinois Central bridge. The hat was on the top of the rlp rapplng. while the umbrella was sticking up In tho mud at the river bank. Where the hat was found the rip-rapping extends some twenty feet or more Into the river and It is supposed that this was the place selected by Mr. Spetman to plunge Into the river. The boy 'took the1 umbrella to the care taker at Big lake, but the lint he took try his home, near Mynster Springs. On the Inner band of the hat were Mr. Spetman's Initials and on the silver hanflle of the um brella whs engraved the name of Irwin Spetman, the son, whose property It was. The first information that the caretaker had that Mr. Spetman was missing was when the searching party arrived at his house last evening. Fnnillr Feared Snlclde. According to the boy's story, It was about 11 o'clock Saturday morning when he found the hat and umbrella, and this leads to the belief that Mr. Spetman was the man seen to descend from the motor bridge by the steps at the east end. It Is thought that finding the river sksfllow at this point he started to wulk north along the bank unttl he could find a place sufficiently deep Into which to throw himself. Accorrilng to John Crow, who keeps a saloon at lirnadway and Thirty-seventh street, Mr. Spetman passed his place shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday morning, and If this was the case It would allow sufficient time for htm to reach tho point above, the Illinois Central bridge where his hut and umbrella were found. i His family had feared for some time past that Mr. Spetman would attempt to end his life and In consequence careful watch had been kept ot his movements. Dr. P. Macrae, Jr., the family physician, stated lust night that while Mr. Spetman was not Insane In the ucccpled meaning of the term. hewa t:fteritg from-a tumor" on -the brain. This had been developing for a considerable time and had reached a stage where death must have resulted In ft short time, as relief could not have been obtained by a surgical operation. The Knowledge of this and his other ailments undoubtedly prompted the unfortunate man to end his life. Mr. Spetman. who was about 48 years of age, was an old-time resident of Council Bluffs nnd Pottawattamie county. Ho la survived by his wife and one son, Irwin; three brothers, Fred, Carl and Henry Spet man, the latter being one of the proprietors of the Kiel hotel, and three sisters, Mrs. Hoist. Mrs. Frank Fox and Mlas IJzzle Spetman. He conducted ft dry goods store on Main street next to the Kiel hotel, but owing to his illness had not given It his active attention for, fume time. The river will be dragged today at the point where the hat and umbrella were found In the hupe of recovering the body. PROGRAM . FOR. FOIRTII OP JULY Elaborate Eserclaee Planned for Fnlrmount Park.

Yeomar.s' ex-Interstate commerce commis sioner, is In Onawa today and Inspected the stock at the "Park farm." Senator Yeomans, as he Is generally known here, says he Is not In polttlqa at present, but Is living a retired life on Ills 2,400-acre farm near Leesburg, Va., where he is largely Interested in dairying and corn raising. Some parts of the Shenandoah valley lands, the senator says, are almost equal to the Missouri bottom lands for raising corn, but need considerable fer tilizing to raise a good crop. This farm is the one formerly owned by ex-Senator Stewart of Nevada, and was In a high state of cultivation, with fine buildings and everything that could be thought of In the way of Improvements. Senator1 Stewart spared no expense In fixing up the place and the Improvements are largely In ex cesH of the demands of the present occu pants. Senator Stewart, although at an advanced age, returned to Nevada and will endeavor to make another fortune. FIGURES SHOW WET SPRIXGS Excess of Mol.tnre This Year Hot So Great as Laat. ONWA, Is..

DOOR IS OPENJN SHANTUNG German Amhaaandor Makes Reply to Public Crltl clam. WASHINGTON', July 2. -Taking notice of frequent reports that the German policy In the Shantung province In China Is not consistent with Its reiterated endorsement of the "open door." Baron Speck von Stern berg, the German ambassador, said today that the criticisms be had noticed referred particularly to the ten-mile zone, along the lines of Germany's railways In this province. In which Germany exercised ex clusive mining frlvileges. "Germany enjoys, with regaid to Its rail way in Shantung," the ambassador said, "exactly the same prfvileges. and no more, which all other countries having railways In this province enjoy. Including Belgium. Great Britain. America and China. As to the open door In Shantung, It Is only neces sary to compare the rapid Increase of for eign trade In the port of Tslngtau and the facilities for transportation of non-German goods within the province. Nothing could speak more clearly for the fair play en Joyed by all countries who have trade Interests In that part of China. Official ttoiu eorroborata this nawn: . OF IOWA COMPILATION OF CENSUS Colored Tables and Mi pi to afore Com pletely Illustrate figures. OBJECTION TO RETURNING REBEL FLAGS Cedar Rapids la Aanln Slow In Get ' ting In enanir and Assessment Kilt urea nnd State Offlelala Are Much Pnt Oot. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DHS MOINES, July 2.-1 Special. )-Prof. W". n. Patterson Is preparing the forms of the tables and the maps and charts In which the census will be printed. This will be the first year in the history of the state that colored charts nnd maps will be used to illustrate the census, and It Is believed that they will niake the vast amount of Information which otherwise would be but slightly understood by the public at large a valuable work. It Is pro posed In the volume to he issued to show Just what It costs to run the state of Iowa, both In state, county and corporation ex penditures. This has never been done be fore and the offlrlals, are finding It very difficult to gather the information now. There are found to be but seventy counties out of the ninety-nine that comply with the state law and print each year a report from the auditor s office showing the county expenditures. Furthermore, many of them, by mlxlnp funds that should be kept sepa rate, have caused It to be nlniost Impossible to get nil the information. Blanks have been sent out to each of the auditors ask ing them to secure the missing Information from their books for the census. It is probable thnt the legislature will be asked to follow the example of Minne sota and Wisconsin and hereafter publish each year a hand hook of the state ex penditures and other Information. The In formation would be gathered from the re ports of the various state officers and from Information secured by addressing letters to the county auditors nnd mayors of cities. ! The limit of time fixed by the legislature for all Information for the census report to be gathered expired Friday night, and tho executive council experts to have all the population figures at hand In a short time, so as to be able to announce the population of the state. Trenanrer'a Biennial Report. The balance sheet of he state treasurer, completed today, for the biennial period ended Friday night shows a balance of $2.126,7s7.2i) In the treasurer's hands for the various funds. Distributed through the various funds the balance Is as follows: General revenue fund, 11,375,0,12.29; state university special tax, 144,206.40; state ool lege special tax. Kl3.931.t9; state normal special tax. J7U7.S0; state college endowment bonds, ft'j'il.liiO; state college endowment cash, KI.245.Sli; state college endowment In terest, 13P.5; temporary school funds, l. Rebel Plaice Mar Star. Opposition to the removal of the rebel flags In the possession of the adjutant gen eral may develop when the legislature comes together. There are ubout twenty of tho flags that were captured by Iowa regiments. They ure stored away for safe keeping. They cannot be returned to the south as are tho flags by the government unless the legislature so orders, as they are the property of the stale. There Is very strong opposition to returning them and for this reason It Is probable that they will be retained, though the southern states are sending their flags north. Fourth of July Speeches. The only Fourth of July speeches to be mado by state officials or employes are those by Governor Cummins at Malvern, Slate Auditor Carroll at Bloomflcld and Ole O. Roe of the auditor's office at Slater. The census employes are disappointed be cause they are to work tomorrow. They had heard a rumor that they would get off both Monday and Tuesday, but Secretary Davidson denied the truth of the rumor and that settled It. Mr. Davidson Informed them thut if any wished to work on tho Fourth they could do so and draw their pay, as the census work Is none too far ad vanced. I.atvaon Ma- Come Here. There Is a movement on foot with the directors of the state fair to secure Tom IjUWboii of Boston and "Frenzied Finance" to be at the fair this year and make an ad dress.

The child labor committee appointed by Mr. Lindsay of New York to plan a cam paign against the general assembly for child labor legislation met in this city last night and organized by the election of Prof. Loos of Iowa City as temporary chairman. Cedar Rapids la Slowv Cedar Rapids is again slow to get In the assessment figures. Last year the state had considerable difficulty and there was talk of the governor calling out the troops to compel the county to comply with the law and make a report of the assessment of all property. This year the county auditor has written a letter to the executive council I giving the figures for all the county except Cedar Rapids and stating that he doesn't think the county should be held responsible for the cltv being so slow. Cedar Kanlds Is I a city operating under a special charter ! and the doren or more cities of that class In the state do about as they please.

ADDED HONORS FOR MAGOON ebrnknn la 1nde Minister to Pan ama In Conjnnctlon with Other llntlea. OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 2. President Roosevelt today authorized the announce ment that he had appointed Charles E. Ma goon as I'nited States minister at Panama, Judge Ma goon Is at present gov ernor of the canal xone in Panama and a member of the executive committee of the Isthmian Canal commission. Trior to his appointment on the canal commission he was the law officer of the Insular Af fairs bureau of the War department. He Is In Panama at present performing his duties in conjunction with the canal work. The determination of the piesklent to have the officers of the government of the American zone and minister to Tanania filled by the same man was reached soon after the reorganization of the Isthmian Canal commission two or three months ago. Experience had demonstrated that a conflict of authority was likely to arise between the government and the minister and In addition confusion was created among the Panamans, particularly the officials of the republic, by the presence of two officers exercising similar powers. It Is well known that George W". Davis, former governor of the canal zone, and John Barrett, until recently minister to Panama, did not pull well together, al though there was no open difficulty be tween them. To avert any possible trouble In the future that micht be det rimental to the Interests of this country, or to those of rnnania In the construction of the canal, the appointment of Judge Magoon to the two offices was determined upon. It Is known that the designation of Judge Magoon to Panama. In connection with his appointment as governor of the zone Is notably pleasing to the officials and people at Panama.
