The decision of tho Hoard of Education
reached at a secret scfslon yesterday after
noon to adopt the new plans for tho High
school building on the Street site nnd to ad
vertise for bids was upset nt last night's
meeting by tho unlooked for conditions, and
tho whole matter was laid over, tho board
adjourning subject to the call of tho pres
ident without taking nny action.
At the secret session tho board hod nr-
rlvoil nt n decision to ignoro the contract
entered Into with Oeorge Hughes at tho
tlmo It whs proposed to prect the school
on Oakland avenue, to adopt the new plans
proposed by the board's architects, Messrs.
Cox nnd Schnenlgen. nnd to advertise anew
for bids. That utich an understanding had
neen arrived nmong tho members of tho
board rntne to the knowledge of Contractor
Hughes and he was present last night
with His nttorneys. Kmnsefa Tlnley and
John (lalvln.
Th mailer was brought up by the ar
chitects submitting the following report:
in compliance with your request tint
'ho bnnril's architect examine Into the
feasibility of ndoptlng the plans prepared
for tlC O.lltlailll livnmin Mlln tn ill, II.
Hons met with In the Street site, we be
to submit the following:
ll our belief lhat a bulldliu of le.
ground area and ile-dgned to conform to
t ie grades of the lot, yet III no way mate
rially hanging Hie capacity of the bulbi
ng, would result In a better appcarln
building for the location tiinl n more prac
tical one.
The sketch plans herewith presented con
template a building having two prominent
entrances, one on llluff ttret and one on
I'imi avenue, itooms In the basemen:
story are for toilet, wardrobe anil lur.en
loom purposes only, no elasi or recitation
rooms being planned for. though an en
trance to tills- lloor Is arranged on the Muff
street side nt ground icxcl. The plan eon
templates three working stories, which is
what was planned for the Ookland nvenue
site
In designing the plan lo conform to the
grade, It Is possible to enter the building
without many exterior tpps. the ground
urea lining tedueeil, the stnlrways nre
placed more central. The tplll hall r n
the llrst lloor has a celling height of thir
teen feet, whereas tn I he old plans It had
a ten foot celling. Since the side wlus
are shorter, the boiler room, drill hall and
auditorium can be lighted much more ad
vantageously. The placing of the toller
rooms In the basement Is an advantage In
ease of future extension.
While It Is perhap.4 possible to erect n
building according to the old plan with
some modification on the new site, by Judg
ing thlugf somewhat, we do not bellexe
that the result will be advantageous to the
High school, especially us the building tan
be erected. In our opinion, according to
th" new pirns at about the same cost.
Hughes, on the other hand, contended that
tt Is perfectly feasible to erect a building
such as had been planned for the Oakland
avenue site on the Street property and took
Issuo with the report of the architects. His
attorneys presented his case to the board,
Insisting that not only has Hughes a legal
right to tho contract, but that the board
is In Justice bound to glvo him tho con
tract and that a building according to tho
original plans should bo erected on the
Street site. They suggested that tho board
secure the opinion of disinterested engi
neers or architects as to tho feasibility of
putting up a building on the Street site
such as had been planned for tho Oakland
avenue piopcrty. '
Tho architects, while admitting that It
possible to erect n building such ns orlg
nnlly planned on tho Street site, claim tha
eno of four stories on one side and Hire
sto.rles on the other would look better and
be better suited to tho peculiar topography
r.f tho ground. They gavo It as tho opinion
of local contractors from whom they haa
secured llgurcs Hint tho building under the
new plans can bo erected ng cheaply ns the
one originally designed. Hughes, on thi
other hand, contends that the now build
ing will cost at least $6,000 more.
The dlstutBlnn lasted upwards of twi
hours and at times became Boniowhm
heated. Member Swalne, who objected to th
presence of tho attorneys, attempted twice
to hnvo tho board go Into executive session,
but tho other members decided that Hughes
had a right to be hoard. At the suggestion
of Member Cooper It was finally decided to
let tho matter go ovor until tho return of
President Henry, who is xpoctod homo the
oarly pnrt of ner.t week.
Member Sargent was authorized to pur
chase six plnnos for the klndorgartenB, nt
a cost not to oxceod J500 each.
The bill tor tho costs In tho hearing of
the High school slto appeal beforo County
Superintendent McManus was laid over for
further Investigation, tho board being un
certain whether It had n right in face of
the injunction Issued by Judge Smith to
Incur any expenso whatsoever to tho dis
trict In tho matter.
The bid of W. E. S. Keellne to supply tho
district with wood nt $4 a cord was re
ferred to tho committee, on fuel and heal
ing. Tho same commltteo was authorized
to place tho heating apparatus at the Third
street school In propor repair without fur

DEADLOCK AT FORT DODGE

nml I'rlenclly sallies.
FORT DODOI4, la., Sept. 25. (Special
Telegram.) All dny long delegates to the
Tenth district republican congressional
convention that Is to select feenntor Dolll-
cr's successor ballotted. see-sawed, gave
complimentary votes to rival candidates
unci passed friendly sallies without accom
plishing nnythlng. Tonight they arc dead
locked, with the prospect of a lengthy con
test unless soma of the lenders get weary
nnd preclpltnto a panic by some wholly un
expected movement.
Prc-convention skirmishing found many
delegates loth to Identify themselves with
uny concerted move against Connor, but as
the balloting proceeded they seemed to en
joy tho exercise of their power. Thcro is
little doubt now that the opposition to
Connor could defeat him. but they arc un
able to ngreo on n candidate and there Is
little prospect of an Improvement of the
situation In this respect. Connor forces
regard tills ns most favorable to them.
ltoth factions have feared to force tho sit
uation and havo played a waiting gnnw.
Steven lleiile Itepoi'tN.
Judge Stevens, whom It Is reported
would head the opposition and make a tight
on Connor, disclaimed any responilbllliy
and all reports of his rumored anil-Shaw
sentiment. He dcclnrcd In nn Interview
that he and his friends were all supporters
and friends of Shaw nnd Dolllver. "Make
it iid direct and forcible ns possible," he
snld. "There nre no nulls in Uoone
county."
Candidates nnd friends were nil nt work
early nnd all at sea. Judgo Connor's sup
porters were pleased nt the failure of the
opposition caucus, but there was nn crow
Ing. When the convention wns called to
older at 10 o'clock there was an air of ex
pectancy among the delegates Indicating n
desire for nn early test of strength nnd
curiosity to know the position of Webster
county.
The convention was called to order by
Chnlrmnn S. T. Mcsorve nt 10 o'clock. After
a brief address by Finch, temporary chnlr
mnn, It wns decldod that, there; being no
contesting delegations the commltteo on
credentials be dispensed with. The chair
named as n committee on pormancnt or
ganization Hnzelott, Pocahontas; F. L.
Lavcndor, Calhoun; R. A. Mosllng, Palo
Alto. Commltteo on resolutions: .1. H.
Hungerford, Carroll; W. S. Ramsey, Han
cock; C. D. Helton. Hamilton; P. O. Koto,
Winnebago. The committee on permanent
organization recommended that the tem
porary organization be made permanent,
that the first nomination be for tho long
term nnd that the rules of the stato con
vention govern the roport, and It wns
adopted.
11 rt llnllot Tnltrn,
Hungerford of Carroll moved that at
oach alternate roll call tho order be re
versed and tho roll reud from the bottom,
but was ruled out of order. Tho conven
tion then proceeded on the roll call for
tho first ballot. It resulted: Conner, 26;
Inghnm, 16; Kamrar, 13; StevenB, 18; Mc
Vay, 12; Salinger, 12; DeWolf, 14; Wlch
mnn, 11; Hrown, 10; SIcor, 9; Crim, 7.
The roll call proceeded quietly until
Webster was reached, which created sur-
prise by dividing the vote and giving Con
ner, 3; Ingham, Kamrar nnu Stevens cacn
two, and remaining candidates one each.
The second, third nnd fourth ballots wero
Just tho same. A movo was then made to
adjourn and was defeated. Tho fifth to the
tenth ballots taken were without change
when the convention adjourned until 2 this
afternoon.
Tho first break in the afternoon occured
on the seventeenth ballot when Calhoun
divided and gave Conner, Ingham and Sa
linger each two. Many changes occurred,
but tho convention tlnally swung back to
the original ballot. Tho changes were In
significant and gave no indication of real
purpose of delegates. Twenty-five ballots
were taken without any particular change.
I', (Tor In to Ntunipecle Full.
Balloting continued without change or
incident from opening ballot until the thirty-fifth
In tho afternoon, when fifteen min
utes' recess was taken. When tho convention
