Tho strike which has Involved the plumb
ers of this city for six weeks was settled

ment was that only ono apprentice can be

to this, offering to give any other afternoon
In tho week. This Is to be considered by
tho union, hut an adjustment of the ques
tion Is promised at once. Some other con
cessions In tho way of working rules wero
also made.
The plumbers' union was represented at
thu conference by a committee consisting of
Harry McCoy, William Jeffries and Ilobert
Q. Maleomb. It Is Bald the men will return

Des Moines from Omaha, tlx first of the
year to manage the affairs of tho Amer
ican Paper Stock company, Is being trailed
by the detectives of tho State Bankers'
association on account of alleged frauds
In ten cities. Kaufman failed to make a
success of tho paper business and early
last month the business was taken charge
of by another.
Kaufman mado a deal with a young man
named Christie to represent him here, then
drew his account out of the Central State
bank and left. He went to Dubuque and
Induced a firm of Junk dealers to honor
his sight draft for $30. They first tele
graphed tho company here and the tele
gram was sent to Christie. Ho gavo a
favorable response. This game was re
peated at the West hotel In Minneapolis
and at Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, Peoria,
Denver, Colorado Springs, St. Louis and

?125. When tho Bankers' association found

payment of a draft at Salt Lako City, and
this was the last heard of hlra. All tho
drafts wore paid between April 15 and 22.

but thero Is a question whether his collu
alon with Kaufman can bo shown. Kauf

rious cities where he stopped with a woman
represented to be his wife. He secured In
all about $800 In this way. His company
wns Incorporated In Nebraska. Kaufman

This will bo tho first complete examina
tion of tho accounts of every one of the
stato offices ever given and the report ot
tho committee, which Is authorized by the
stato executive council, will be made to
that body and ultimately will be submitted
to tho committee on retrenchment nnd re

mittee will make nn exhaustive report and
make recommendations In regard to the
manner of keeping tho books of tho various
departments and will ask that tho legisla
ture simplify tho keeping ot accounts nnd

The suit brought by a student of a Mis

Board of Medical Examiners to compel thai
body to grant him an examination for a
certificate to practlco medicine has been
set for May 22 nnd the stato hoard wlli
meet two days before that time aud ma)
effect a settlement. The nppllcant at first
considered bringing tho suit ngainst the
secretary of the board, but as the secretary
had no power In tho matter it was brought
against the whole board.
The case Involves the power of the board
to determine what colleges arc regular
and of sufficient standing to entitle their
students to practlco In Iowa. There have
been 110 applicants for physicians' ccr
tlflcates examined by tho board In the last
month, these being the graduates of the
medical colleges of the stato. Tho number
Is considered very small. Quite a number
ot those examined will not pasa and will
have to return to school for another period.
