WILL UnGE THE MATTER PUBLICLY TONIGHT Bnnnri ol to I.rc the Matter Drop, hni tn !." Kry Mrntin In tfnvr llif lliilMlnn Properly As the municipal authorities do not seem In ny hurry to move In the matter, Trustee Balrrt of the public library will pall upon the city council at It meeting tonight to enforce the ordinance providing for the erection of fire tseapes on public and other buildings. The Merrlam block, In which the public library la situated, Is still with sut flro escapes and aa far as la known the fire and light committee of tho City council, which la understood to havo the enforcing of tho ordinance In Its hands, has not notified Mr. Merrlam to comply with Its provisions. The fire escape ordinance was passed In August,' ISA!), and provides that all hulld Inga within the corporal limits of the :lty of Council Rluffa throe stories high sr over and all opera houses, theaters, hotels, public halls, lodgerooms, museums, lecture rooms, public libraries, school housert and buildings usod for places for amusements of any kind and all buildings wherein crowds of people arc Invited to issemble for any purpose, and all hospitals md conventa, shall bo provided with Btalr way fire escapes. For a while the ordinance was enforced ind many of the. larger buildings In the city -were equipped with tho required flro sscapes, but none were ever placed on the Merrlam block, which Is tbreo stories high tnd covers almost a block of ground. The trustees of the public llbrnry called the attention of Mr. Merrlam to tho lack of Are escapes and, this falling In Its pur pose, they referred the matter to the city :ouncll. Large numbers of children gather In the rooms occupied by the publlu library and the trustees ars determined that flro cs :apes shall be provided, at least at that end of the building. Whon asked yesterday why the ordinance was not enforced as regards tho Merrlam block Mayor Jennings said he had not liven the matter much attention, supposing that tho fire and light committee ought to look after It. Trustee Ilalrd says he will not let tho matter drop nod will use very means In his power to have tho library equipped with the proper fire es capes. Davis sells glass. Davis sells patnt.

DES M01NE3, Nov. 24. (Speclal.)-The Iowa delegation In congress will bo asked to hav9 congress lake- some stepH looking to a clearing up of the inevitable conflict of authority on tho reservation of the Sac and Fox Indians In Tama county. Tho res- orvatlon la In different statun from any other. The land belongs to the tribe of Indiana In fee simple, as they bought It from persons holding valid titles from the government. It was not land set apart for Indians, The trlbo placed tho control of thu same In the slate of Iowa and the deeds were hetd by the governor, but later the state undertook to cede authority to the United States and reserve police control, but the federal court has decided this could I not be done. Hence there Is n good deal of uncertainty as to the attitude of tho state and government toward theso Indians. Now that a Serious problem has presented Itaulf In regard to the control of the smallpov on the- Indian lands the seriousness of the un settled condition can be seen In stronger contrast. The State Board of Health, with the pcrmlsson of the secretary of tho In terior, has taken charge of the smallpox r.ltuatlon, but If tho Indians should resist proper measures thero Is n question as to what tho state hoard could or would do. Accordingly the congreeslonal delegation Is to be asked for some new legislation atfect- Ing Just such cases. There Is great Indig- nation In that part of the state near tha Indian tribe over the enforced neglect of tne smallpox epioemic, nui ncnncr mo im.u authorities in towns near the Indians nor tho State Board of Health could take action and the government has no provision for a smallpox emergency. I.nwH for Hie Children, About the mlridlo of January, nt a time when tho Iowa legislature has fairly got Itself organized for work, there will be hold In Des Moines a conference of the otllccrs and delegates of women's clubs of the state to prepare bills to be urged on tho gcncr.tl assembly In tho Interest of children. It Is Intended that bills shall be prepared re stricting child labor In factories as well as In mines, for compulsory school attendance, making kidnaping of children a crime, pro viding for a Juvenile court nnd a bill for a law to punish parents who willfully sur round children with conditions which tend to mako criminals. At this meeting a program will be presented by workers In humanitarian lines and several persons frnm nntslde the state will be present. Thn Aioiners emu ai ura ,,iuiu.-n .. . . . 1 -.

The law for prevention of child labor In factories will be pushed especially hard, as the latest statistics show that child labor In factories In Iowa Is on tho increase and has already become n menace to tho health and proper develop ment of many of the children of tho cities. w Snrvry Completed The new survey for a railroad through Madison and Adair counties was completed yesterday.

When this Information became known yesterday a great many democrats started on n still hunt for O'Keeffe with protests In their pockets. While those who protest do not seem to have any particular candidate In view, they do object to White, as he Is considered entlroly too old for the position and his popularity is considered to be ou the wane. A prominent democratic politician said last night that If Mr. O'Keeffe appoluted Dr. White there would be all kinds of trouble brewing, as the party would not accept the appointment without making a protest. "What the people here want," said this politician, "is a physician who !s up-to-dnte who enn handle cases at auy time of the day or night. We want a young man and Mr. O'Keeffo will be called upon today In regard to this matter." Whon Dick O'Keeffe wbb seen by a re porter for The Bee last night ho sold that he faored Whlto because of his supposed influence.

These two members will be business men. In speaking of this matter yesterday the mayor said that he had not even considered the appointments to ne made, but would take up tho matter todny Aa the local medical socloty has recom mended Dr. Sapp for the office of city physi cian, It Is presumed the mayor will make this appointment.
