Ingpr, representing Slack Peterson, IIIpiI
a supplemental amendment to tho petition
In tho orlglnol injunction proceedings
against tho Independent Srliool district of
Council llluffs in which tho court Is asked
to Ihbuo an Injunction rcr training the
Don iil of Kducatlon from submitting to tho i
voters nt the coming school election i!'0
question of a location for the proposed new
High Kcliool building. I
In tho amendment, nftcr refrrrlng to :l.c
soloctlon by tho Hoard of Kducatlon of tho
Dullard proper' y on First avenue os tho
slto for tho school and tho subsequent
rescinding of such action, it Is shown that
tho board on January 20 selected the Trt
nor and Detaining properties on First
nvonuo as a suitable location for tho erec
tion of tho building. It Is also alleged that
tho board accepted tho offer of this prop
erty for $10,.'iU0 and that by Its acceptance
tho board has mado Itflelf responsible for
tho purchaso price. It Is further stated
that no action has been subsequently taken
by tho board rescinding tho selection of
the Treynor-Demmlng site.
Continuing tho amendment sctH forth that
tho board Is preparing to suomlt at the com
ing school election tho proposition of tho
location of the High school to tho voters of
tho district "nt great oxpenso to tho tax
payers! thereof." The allegation Is mado
that tho submission of tho location of the
High school to tho voters of tho district
and tho Incurring of expensou thereon Is
against the expressed provisions of sec
tion 2773 of tho codo nnd Is unauthorized
and void for tho following reasons:
The Iteiisimo for It,
First That the board of directors has al
ready mado and selected tho Treynor slto
for a High school building and Is obligated
to pay therefor and said election has never
been vacated or rescinded.
Second That the electors or tno uisirici
hnvo no authority In law to vote upon or
determine tho location of a. High school
building.
Third That at the time of the voting of
the bonds at tho March (lM'JJ election tho
voters had already determined that tho lo
cation of the High school should be as cen
trally located as in tlie judgment or tne
school board was possible and delegated to
the board the selection or tno slto.
Fourth That at the said election the
voters of tho district had already expressed
whatever selection Is permitted or author
ized by statute.
Firth -That tho voters of said district at
the Mnrch OKO electlAli fletermlneil that tho
old High school site snouiu uo useu as a
ward school und that said site Is now In
eligible and ea'niiht -again be voted upon by
tho peopio or seiecieu y me uuiiiu.
Sixth That tho selection of tho Oakland
avenue site by reason of tho appeal, to tho
stato superintendent of publlo Instruction
has been determined to bo not centrally lo
cated and not a proper place for tho loca
tion of tho High school ami inai oy reason
if such proceedings said imKiiinu iivenuu
slto Is no longer ellglblo or tho suojcci or
selection by the peopio or by the board, and
that tho submission to ine iieoiue i uu m
tempt to relltigato und retry said location,
ngalnst which the highest trlhunal of tho
stato has decided; that such dpclslon Is
binding not only on tho peopio of tho dis
trict, but upon tno uoaru uiiu uiu mi-mui-ia
thoruof.
In conclusion the amendment setn rortn
tho allegation that tho board and Its olll
cers nnd agentB are' taking steps to jiubmlt
tho propcHltion at tho coming election ana
nrn having ballots printed and thereby In
curring great expeuuo to the taxpayers of the
district and the court Is nsKCii to issuo

I2i Main St., Council Dlufts.
He arraigned thu custom of Injecting poli
tics Into school oio.tlons and Into tho man
agement of tho public fcchools. For one
thing, ho claimed, It prevented the con
tinuity of EPivlcc, which was ono cf tho
essentials to gcod schnol work. In support
of this argument, ho cited a number of large
cities whero tho heads of tho school system
did not change when ono party succeeded
the other in puww. Citing a number of
largo cities, he showed whero superintend
ents had remained In olllce from twenty-six
to forty-Fix jcut-i, Irrespective of their
political leanings.
Another point he made was that under
tho preacnt practice men who were elected
to olllco more frequently foU themselves re
sponsible to tho leaders of their particular
p dltlr.il party than to tho people who had
elected thorn to serve their Intereits. Ho
contcnJtd that frequently members of school
In aids thwarted tho superintendents i.nd
' interfered with tho proper management of
j tho schools for political reasons. Touching
on school elections, Prof. Sawyer clalmad
that tho majority of voters wcro moro loyal
to their political party than they wcro In
terested tu securing good, capable men to
servo them; that moro often than otherwlso
they would oto for .t poorly qualified man
If ho was a member of their political party
than they would for a man known to bo

0WA MINING DIFFERENCES
Miner ri ml Operator Meet In Secret
Session und UIhcunh Outcome
of FlKlit.
DBS MOINES, Feb. 2C (Special Tele
gram.) uotn minors anil operators aro
meeting In secret session today discussing
tho Joint conference to bo held tomorrow
and tho probable outcome of the present
differences which exist between employer
nnd employe In tho mining of Iowa coal.
Tho nilneis today ndopted tho scale pre
pared by tholr scale committee nnd to
morrow, when the conference Is held with
tbo operators, they will demand Its ndop
lion by nil miros in tho state. Despite tho
recent action In Illinois, tho operators aro
still an hostile as ever to tbo proposed mine
run basis, and say that it simply means
the retention of tho screen or their re
tlremcnt from business, as tho mine-run
basis would put an Inferior grado of coal
upon tho market, and thoy could not
compete, with tho coal shipped Into tho
state. Confldenco Is still expressed that
the miners will win out, though many nn
tlclpato a strugglo between the operators
and delegates and several attempted com
promises beforo an agreement Is reached
Tho men aro determined and they will not
hcsltato to btrlko If they aro unablo
uflcct n settlement, but It Is thought that
nftor a bitter fight In confcrcnco Is over, all
will bo pcact'ful.
Tho bill which H. II. Abrains, superin
tendent of tbo Anti-Saloon league of Iowa.
Is preparing for lutroductlon at tho present
session of tho general iissembly, providing
for tho establishment of a homo for In
ebriates lu tho building now used for a
homo fur tho blind ut Knoxvlllo, was dis
cussed at tho rogular weekly meeting of
tho Ministerial association this morning.
Although the hill has not yet been Intro
duced Into tho house, It will probably bo
championed by somo friend of temperance
In that body within the next week or ten
days. Dr. A. L. Friable brought the matter
up nt tho meeting nnd after a general dis
cussion tho following resolution was passed:
"Resolved, That wo fully roiuur In asking
tho legislature, now in session, to rrcaio
a homo for tho retention of nnd treatment
of unfortunate drunknrds."
James Archie, an old-time employe of tho
Hock Island, wan run down and killed hy
tho castbound Ilyer when that train was

Archie was sweeping snow from the tracks
and stepped In front of tho ilyer.
A meeting was to havo been held to put
up a citizen's ticket to light John MacVlcar.
recently nomlnted by the republicans for a
third term as mayor. Tho republican who
opposed hltn aro nt tho bottom of the move
ment. A bitter fight Is certain.
Senator Hnrrlmnn tiled two years ngo to
get such a mensuro through tho legislature
aud failed, but this year tho proposition
ha met with favor. There waB nn effort
mado on the floor of tho senato to tako tho
horticultural interesUi of tho state out from
under tho proposed department, but It did
uot carry.
As outlined lu the bill, the, department
Is for thu promotion of tho agricultural,
horticultural ami other fanning Interests
of the fctate. It will ewbrnce all the dis
trict and county agricultural societies or
ganized or to be organized under existing
statutes and will be entitled to receive
aid from tho state, tho state weather crop
service and tho olllces of tttato dairy com
missioner and state veterinarian, tho Im
proved Stockbreeder' association and tho
Swine-breeders' association of lown.
Mummed liy a Hoard.
The department is to ho managed by n
board, called the State Hoard of Agriculture,
of which tho governor, tho president of the
Iowa Agricultural college, tho state dairy
commissioner and tho stnte veterinarian
hall bo members ex-ofllcto, and a president
Ice preslJcnt, secretary, treasurer and one
llrector from each congressional district, to
bo chosen at tho annual convention of dele
gates provided for In tho bill. The prln-
Ipal business of tho department will be
to hold the state fair annually.
Senator Finch introduced two Important
measures In tho senato today. Ono pro
poses a system of parole for criminals of
unsound mind or who aro apparently lrre
sponsible for their acts. The bill In brief
provides that any district Judgo who has
sentenced a prisoner to not more than five
years In the state penitentiary, nnd has rea
son to bellovo tho prisoners mind is un
sound or ho was otherwise Irresponsible for
his acts, may suspend Iho sentenre
ngalnst him after the prisoner has given
bond for $1,000, and Investlgato his case
If tho Judgo Is finally convinced that his
convictions are correct ho may, upon state
ment of the govornor, further suspend his
sentence or place him under parole upon tho
issuance of another bond of tho same amount
as the. first. This Is the first measure
bearing upon tho subject of parole which has
yet como beforo the assembly, though Gov
ernor Shaw recommended a system of stnto
parolo In his mcosago this year.
Sonator Finch's other bill provides that
duplicate returns In sheriffs' sales must bo
mado In both the county where goods are
sold nnd tho one whero they nro located
Hunters on the SeiiNiitloiiul.
An afternoon session was held by the houso
at which two resolutions bordering on the
sensational woto Introduced by Head of
Jefferson. Ono proposes to go after the
members of tho stato executlvo council
who aro members of building nnd loan nsso
clatlons. It proposes to request each mem
uer oi ino council to stato to tno ucst o!
his ability Just what building and loan oi
insurauco organization ho Is a member of,
what position ho occupies nnd how much
salary ho receives In such capacity. Thl
Is in lino with tho policy of tho assembly
to get down to the bottom of tho building
and loan Irregularities In the state, and Is
tho result of tho fact that tho executive
council parses upon tho building and loan
articles of Incorporation in tho state, nnd the
stato auditor upon Insurance companies.
The other resolution proposes to request
Hon. John Cownle. a prominent ngrlcul
turlst nnd member of the State Hoard of
Control, to cither resign his position a
nipmbcr or tno hoard or ns crop reportor,
which ho also holds. The resolution pro
poses to havo a commlttco nppolntcd to
Investlgato and sco If Mr. Cownle- Is not
holding two government positions contrary
to law.
Tho calendar of the house was cleared
of twenty-six bills recommended for In
dcflnlto postponement, tho operation tnkln
not moro than twenty minutes of tho hcs
slons time. Three new bills were Intro
duced, one by Carr of Polk, in the interest
of West Dos Molnos school elections. It
proposes to provide moro careful lestrlc
tlons on the registration of voters, th
holding of elections and canvassing of votes
In independent school districts having a
population of fi.OOO or more.
