WrniiKlliiK the Member * Klnnlly
Tnokle nnil Settle the
Vexed UuoHtlnn.
At the regular meeting ot the Doard of
Education Monday night a majority ot the
director * * voted In favor of the Dalian ] prop ,
erty on First avenue as n slto for the pro
posed new High school building. The selec
tion ot this site was made on the thirteenth
ballot. The property Is located Immediately
west of the Grand hotel on First avenue ,
having a frontage of 150 feet and a depth of
192 feet. When the question of a slto first
came before the board this property was
offered at $12,000 , and It was stated at the
tlmo that a perfect title could be procured.
The property Is that which was left by Mrs.
Ballard as a bequest to the Women's Chris
tian Association hospital. The helre of Mrs.
Uallard have brought suit to have tbo bequest -
quest set aside and the property Is now the
subject of litigation. It Is understood , however -
over , that the heirs are willing'that ' the prop
erty should be sold to the board and the
nrocopds of thr nln dpnnsitml In pnnrf.
At the opening of the meeting Attorney
I. N. Fllcklnger , who has led the fight
against the Oakland avenue site , submitted
the following propositions which , after being
read , wore laid on the table without com
ment :
The undersigned hereby offer to defend
the school district from any appeal which
may lie taken from the selection of a Hlth
school site situated south of Broadway and
west of Main street nnd north of Seventh
avenue and cast of Twelfth street to the
county nnd stnto superintendent of public
Instruction -without charge to the district
therefor.
The undersigned hereby offer to defend
the district against the suit brought against
It In the district court of Pottnwntamle
county , Iowa , by the owners of the Oakland
avenue site for the sum of $100. This
amount to ne In full of all fees In the dis
trict and supreme courts , should the case
be carried there. We agree to carefully look
after the Interests of the district In said
litigation and If the defense Is not sustained
to receive nothing for our services therein.
Payment to be made on the completion of
the litigation. STONE & TINLET.

The matter of selecting a High school site
was brought up by Member Henry at the
close of the routine business , who moved
that the board -proceed to ballot for a loca
tion for the High school. Lucius Wells
asked permission to say a few words and
being granted presented the petitions asking
that Ac board order a special election In
order to obtain from the voters an expression
as to the location of the site. Ho stated that
the petition bore over 800 names , a majority
of the signers being prominent business and
professional men of the city.
Attorney Fllcklnger then presented his
petition asking that the board proceed at
once to the selection of a site. He said he
did not know how many names It bore , but
claimed that It had been signed by every
representative business man in the city. Ho
also said that the board had no authority to
order a special election to bo held and If It
did any taxpayer could go Into court and
have It enjoined.
Mr. Wells then submitted a bond signed by
Thomas Bowman , Mrs. M. F. Rohrer and
several members of the Casady family to
protect the members of the board In
dividually from any liability In connection
with the expenses of such election In the
event of the courts holding that such elec
tion was Invalid and that the funds of the
school district could not bo sued for that
purpose.
Fllcklnger then made another talk In
which he told the board that there was no
provision In the statutes authorizing the
board to call a special election , also that If
the voters should favor the Oakland avenue
slto It could not possibly be considered after
the ruling by the state superintendent. Ho
also said that If the board should grant the
request nnd order nn election It would place
Itself in a most ridiculous position and no
good could come from It.
Hlewnrt TnUei the Floor.
Fllcklngcr's remarks brought Member
Stewart to his feet and In an Impassioned
speech ho urged that the request of nearly
1,000 voters be granted and that the board
order a special election held. He termed
Fllcklnger's action In the matter , especially
In the matter of submitting a proposition to
defend the district In case an appeal was
taken , as most unprofessional. At the close
of his talk he Introduced a resolution order
ing an election held.
On being put to the vote four of the mem
bers , Hess , Cooper , Moore and Henry , voted
against It , while Sims , Swalno and Stewart
voted for It. Member Henry's motion to
proceed to the selection of a slto was put and
carried and the balloting commenced. The
llrot ballot gave Oakland avenue two votes ,
Fifth avenue nnd Seventh street alto three ,
Ballurd property two and the Street site one ,
The second ballot was the same. The third
to the tenth ballots gave Oakland avenue
one. Fifth avenue nnd Seventh street three
nnd the Ballard propert > three. At the
eleventh ballot one vote shifted from the
Ballard alto to the Street site , but went back
again on the twelfth. At the thirteenth bal
lot four votes went to the Ballard property ,
two to the Fifth avenue and Seventh street
and one to the Oakland avenue site. The
Ballard silo was declared selected.
CilHiuIy'N Suit.
After the regular grist of bills had been
disposed of Member Cooper asked what ac
tion the board Intended taking In the mat
ter of the milt brought by Simon Caaady
for the purchase of the Oakland avenue
property. Ho suggested that Attorney Fllck
lnger bo employed to defend the district ,
This at once brought President Sims to
his feet and bo said that if Fllcklnger was
employed by the board ho would resign at
once. Ho said that Fllcklnger' had openly
charged at least two If not three of the
members of the board with being bribed In
connection with the : heel situ selection and
he for one would never consent to employ
him to defend the district In any suit. After
considerable pyrotechnics it was decided to
employ Stone & Tlnley.
Miss Selfert was appointed assistant
teacher at the Twentieth Avenue school In
the primary grade and her salary fixed at
$20. It was decided to pay the teachers and
Janitors three weeks' salary next Saturday ,
so thut they could bavo some money to
spend for Christmas. The committee on text
books wua authorized to 'purchase u supply
of Baldwin's Studies on Physiology. The
question of purchasing further supplemen
tary reading matter was referred to the com
mittee on text books ,

J. A. Gregory , who is in the county Jail
awaiting trial for shooting Constable Moss ,
has written a letter In which ho signs him
self James Williams and claims ho is un
justly discriminated against , an compared
with others against whom similar charges
have been made. He writes :
"I would like to speak of two cases , one
at Fort Dodge , November 8 , where W. H.
Wagner shot Alvln Kellogg and his bond
placed at $1,000 , and mine for the same
offense at $2,000. Is that doing me Justice ?
The other happened nt Sioux Falls , Novem
ber 9 , when Walter Cook shot at Joe Jones
and his bond placed at $600 , and mine for
the same kind of charge at $1,000. That Is
law , but where Is the Justice ? I have asked
.o have my bonds reduced to the same
amount of others , that Is , for the same kind
of charges ; but no , they will not. I have
asked to have my case continued to the
next term of court. Their reply was 'no. '
Then I asked for a change of venue to an
other county and received the same old re
ply 'no. ' "
Gregory writes further that If his bonds
were reduced to the amount he claims they
should be , bo would be able to furnish them
and would stay here to meet the charges
against him , as he says he has a gold
defense. He concludes his letter by saying
ho fceln sure that if ho remains here ho
will bo convicted , and asks that he bo given
Justice.

After sleeping forty-eight hours he was this

ho expired at 2 o'clock this afternoon. His

possible to determine whether his condition

ture of his skull. His left temple Is bruised

that at the- time he went to sleep he was

DETROIT , Mich. , Dec. 18. The various
grievances of bodies connected with the
American Federation of Labor were heard
In executive ecsslon today. Before going
Into secret session , under the day's special
order , the convention listened to an ex
tended debate on the long-mooted question
of permitting membership In the federation
to persons affiliated with the Knights of La
bor. The matter cnme up through n report
of the committee on laws recommending
reference to the executive council of a. resolution
elution offend by the National Union of
Brewery Workmen , declaring that since the
federation had prohibited the brewery local
unions from holding membership In the
Knights of Labor and etnco other trades
unions affiliated with the federation arc
still amalgamated with the Knights of
Labor :
"Ucsolved , That the convention pass n law
according to which no member of any trades
union affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor , directly or Indirectly , shall
bo allowed to hold membership In the
Knights of Labor. "
Some of the New York delegates opposed
drastic action on account of the harmonious
relations between the local unions of both
elapses , especially In New York City. A
few others wanted such relations left undis
turbed , but most of those who spoke opposed
the resolution.
President Mahon of the street railway em
ployes argued that the brewer ) men asked
only what Is fair In applying such prohibi
tion to other trades as well as their own.
Mahon elated that the Knights of Labor
in the last few years had brought no benefit
to the street railway nieii'ii organizations
and that such relations had been only harm
ful to them.
Delegate E. A. Agard of the glass botllo
blowers , who until recently were allied with
the Knights of Labor , favored the commltleo
on laws' report and a continuance of Inter
relationship to some extent between the two
orders.
Before taking n vote at 10-4I : > the conven
! tlon went Into executive session and began
consl/laratlon / of grievances.
A return to the former system of assessing
all members of unions affiliated wllh the
American Fedorallon of Labor for purposes
of aiding strikers In case of necesslly , was.
decided upon by the fcderallon convenllon
this afternoon. The proposlllon was nar
rowly carried , receiving only two more votes
than the rules require , viz : Two-thirds of
the delegates present. iMost of the day was
occupied by the discussion of grievances In
executive session.
The executive session continued through
the greater part of the afternoon. The com
mittee on grievances reported on several
matters In dispute , all of which wcro re
ferred after discussion to the executive
council.
A resolution ordering Iransfer to the
linotype machinists' union of all members
of the Typographical unlen employed In tak
ing care , mechanically , of llnotypo ma
chines , was referred to the executive coun
cil and will be dealt with tomorrow.
When the convention reconvened In open
session the report of the committee on laws
In favor of debarring from federation mem
bership , any member of the Knights of La
bor , was concurred In and the matter re
ferred to the executive council.
The date for future conventions was
changed , after considerable discussion , from
the first Thursday in December to Iho first
Monday nfler Ihe first Thursday. The ar-
gumenf. . was mailo that the doings of the
federation would bo given more space In the
newspapers If the date of meeting were not
so close to the time of opening of congress.

"Wo hope to make this young people's
