En M(( In Hot , Bnttlo for Passengers. BERLIN, Aug. E.-A rate war Involving cabin passages has broken out between the Cunard and the German Hnea In the North Atlantic aervlce, the Cunard line having offered a minimum first class pas sage from Hamburg to Iew xora iorui.w. Including a free ticket to Liverpool and expenses there. Tha Hamburg-American line announce a reduction of the rates from $130 to $107.50. and tha North German IJoyd line a reduction from $130 to $117.60. This waa brought about after prolonged negotiation on the part of the German lines with the Cunard line for the purpoee of reaching an agreement to maintain common rates. The German lines are bo coming involved In rate wars In various directions. The Hamburg-American lines new connection between Now York and Baltic ports Is a blow at the European lines, which have answered with a further reduction of tho steerage rate to New York. The German lines found It Impos sible tn continue to draw Russian emi grants by the rail route from the Russian frontier to Hamburg and Bremen, because they preferred embarking at home ports. Riga and Llbau. This necessitated bidding for emigrant, at Raltio ports. The view prevails at Hamburg and Bremen that the Russia llnea will prove unable to keep up the fight for any length of time and will offer to compromise before many months have elapsed.

Shu maker, former superintendent of public buildings and grounds at Harrlsburg, who Is Implicated by the reports of the carltol Investigation commission, has declared that he will make full confession of all he knows In connection with the capltol scan dal.

I will not keep back a single secret, and when I get throuch 1 will show that a man high in official life at Harrls burg ought to go to the penitentiary. i nave committed no wrong.

In a tel ephone conversation, Mr. Shumaker said the report that he threatened to disclose he secrets of the capltol scandal and tell how the profits of the contracts were used to cover a shortage In the state treasury were false. "I have nothing to conceal," he said, "and when the time comes I will explain in court all my transactions. Tho only reason I have not already told my story Is because I wm 111 and have not had an oppor tunity."

I -.TntnriRt ilivi nnt flnir In the comlnff trial of George Mackown. alleged cmbeziler and firebug, now In Jail In this city. He Is charged with emboiillng some $15,000 from the Not th western Felt Shoe company and then deliberately firing the mK felt shoe factory to hide his alleged crime. The llrst. and strongest card, to be played by tho defense will be an attack upon the validity of the Indictments. If will be four years In November since the Indict ments were drawn and as the statute of limitations In Iowa Is three years, no new charges can 'be brought Rgalnst the man. Falling toget tho Indictments declared illegal, the"" defense Is depending very materially upon the Inability of the state to bring to Iowa the one witness who can complete the chain of evidence necessary to prove the allegation of emhexzlement. This witness resides in New York and Is a member of the big felt Jobbing firm of Mtisllner. He came here when the grand Jury Indicted Mackown and received $135 for his trip. Mr. Chase la banking largely on the refusal of this witness again to make this trip and spend a week or more In Webster City for the small sum of r.35, especially during so busy a season as October. Without this witness the chain of evidence will be lacking, for he endorsed the draft which Mackown Is alleged to have cashed In New Tork and appropri ated to his own use, thereby committing tho alleged embeixlemcnt.

BELL STILL UNDER SUSPICION Officials Xow Have Exact Theory aa to Ho tv Quarter of Million Dol lars t'onld Have Been Stolen. With suspicions still directed toward the notorious Bell as the guilty man, Superin tendent E. L. West of tho Sixth division of the railway mall service,' after a con sultation with Postal Clerk Cole of the train from which the $250,000 was stolen In three mail pouches, declines to reveal any thing of the progress of his Investigation or admit that he believes that great an amount Is Involved In the robbery. While admitting the disappearance of tho three pouches, he and other postal authori ties are reticent regarding the exact amoun. Their non-committal attitude Is acstimed upon orders from the Postofflce department at Washington. This policy has strengthened the general belief that tho amount was as large as originally stated and that the government has Its eye upon the robber or robbers. There is a disposition In some quarters to Ignore the possibility of any such a sum a. $L'50.000 being transmitted by regis- tered mail, and particularly from Denver i "erand of France in the direction of plac to Chicago, while there might be such j ,n ,he latter country on the same basis a poM'ulllty from Chicago to Denver. This j ns Germany In the matter of tariff. In hypothesls Is not borne out. however, by j formation received here, raid Jo be from a the riistnm. of the rnel.terert mall service. I responsible quarter. Is to the effect that t - , ara 1 very frequently transmitted by registered i Vnrl Sam Not I table The .contents of a registered ' package are never known to the postofflce depart- ment and that under the postal laws the department will not assume the respon sibility for a loss exceeding 126. regardless of the actual value of the contents of the package, which is known only to the sender of the package. Abundant theories are afloat as to how the pouches may have been stolen and tho conclusion has now been reached that the theft occured at the Denver station. Ono theory among the officials that Is gaining ground Is that after the pouches had been loaded onto the truck and properly counted, the poRtal clerk may have stepped Into the transfer room for a moment to attach his signature to the receipt and during this moment the pouches were abstracted from the truck. These registered pouches are all labeled for their respective destinations and the expert thief onto hi. business would have no difficulty In selecting the Omaha and Chicago registered pouches because of whose small bulk could easily be hidden In the darkness and confusion of departing trains. Money Bound for New York. CHICAGO. Aug. 22. Postofflce Inspector Kimball declared today after Investigating the recent theft of the two mall pouches on a Burlington train that the stolen pouches contained matter sent to point, east of Chicago. He wild that If $250,'V had been .tolen It must have been cur rency sent f ror' the Denver bank, to New York. The Inspector doubted that such an amount had been taken. He said that there wa. no mean, of knowing whether the pouche. contained 25O,00O or $2.50, but that the amount, whatever It waa, must have ' been bound for New York.

Even If the excesses which the great prosperity of re cent years has had in Its wake had been permitted to continue unchecked a situation before long would have developed probably far more difficult and serious than the crlxls through which we are now passing. "ln the first Instance, It Is a reRult of the tremendous railroad, industrial and commercial development of the last ten years, which has broughf about cap ital requirements largely In excess of the ability of the country to supply. Europe, finding Itself ln a similar position, has been unable tn extend us any credit or to place at our disposuf surplus fundfl, such as has been Its wont to Invest so largely In Amer ican securities In times of depression. Moreover, It has been to a great extent, overlooked that the Russian-Japanese war md the San Francisco earthquake have j . , . , destroyed an enornjous amount of wealth which has sooner or later naa to make It self felt. Nor has the fact that both Japan and China have Tlbw entered into competi tion for the surplus capital of the world been given sufficient attention. No other I remedy for tills state of affairs appears to be possible than at least a temporary ro- ! auction In our activities until the coun I try's capital and credit facillltles again i reacne(, a po,nt lufflclent ror u, "vol ume 0f business. - .Ainrtn pi nniii-r-r.
