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.

RAISES CORN' IX VIRGINIA

ONAWA, la.. July 2, (Special.) J. D.
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.

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

OBJECTION TO RETURNING REBEL FLAGS
Cedar Rapids la Aanln Slow In Get

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

It Is understood that Mr. Lawson will be
returning from a trip to the Pacific coast
at about that time.
Committee Orxanlxea.
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. They

executive council orders them to assess It

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.

of raising money to pay strike lienetlts.

press drivers were duo today, but there
was no money In the treasury of the

these men would apply to the express
companies tomorrow morning for work
The department store drivers also threaten
to mutiny. The treasury of the local
union of which these men are members
Is also depleted and several hundred of
these men have served notice on the offi
cials of their union that unless they re-'
ceive the full amount of strike benedts j
they are entitled to they will be com-'
pel led to seek their old positions. Com
