'A .
fully 2u0 vlsltlug club women were In at
tendance at the second annual meeting- of
the Ninth district organization of the Iowa
Federation of Women's Clubs that con
vened In Council Bluffs yesterday. ' Though
the progiain opened at the First baptist
church at t o'clock, the . majority of the
delegates did not arrive until noon, altout
140 authorised representatives atteticHug tbe
ftemoon session, Unlike the plun in other
states the. districts of Iowa are -not per
manently orgunlsed and have no regular
ode-era aside from the district chairman,
who Is appointed by the federation presi
dent, Urs, dertrude Naah of Auduhon, now
filling ttutt omoe in the Ninth district.
Owing to the fact that the representation
this year was limited to the president and
two representatives from each club, the at
tendance waa not aa large as it would have
been, but nearly every club In the district,
whether afllllated with the state organiza
tion or not, wua represented. The program
included no luminous whatever, the aim of
the gathering being the extension of rlub
work throtiKh reports of work acoVtm
pllshed and the presentation of plans and
yims for the coming year.

What the dabs Have Done.
In the two-mlnuts reports of clubs that
followed, library interest constituted an im
portant part of the work of the majority
of clubs, though village Improvement and
other branches of study are also followed.
Mrs. J. W. Hill of Avoca spoke for the rural
clubs and fraukly criticized the women of
the town and city organisations for their
excluslveness and their frequent lack of
sympathetic Interest In the rural club. The
remainder of the morning was given over
to library and book Interests, two of the
principal addresses being made by Mrs.
Belle M. Btoutenborough of Plattsmouth,
who spoke of "The Value of the Public
IJbrary." and Mra F. H. Cole, president of
the Omaha Woman's club, who spoke of
"Books , as a. 1 Factor In Women's Club
Work."
Some reasons why libraries should be es
tablished 1n small towns were presented by
Mrs. J. B. Weeks of Guthrie Center, and
"The Library from a Household Economics
Standpoint" waa given by C. O. Walner of
Atlantic.
A round table discussion lead by Miss
Alice Taylor of Des Moines was among the
most helpful features of the morning. Mr.
Clifford of the Council Bluffs High school
speaking of the public schools, and the
library; Miss Pile of the High school fac
ulty, and Miss Mary O'Donnelt of the
"Young Women and the Library," and
Miss Tyler of "The Relation of the Library
to Club Work."
Luncheon was served during the noon
Intermission by the women of the First
Presbyterian church, the afternoon session
being called at 1:90 o'clock.
Mrs. P. . Montgomery of Council Bluffs,
chairman of the state educational commit
tee, presided during the hour devoted to
the public schools, Mlas Lucille Porterneld
directing a chorus of primary children illus
trating some of the work done In muslu.
"Art In Education" waa presented by Mrs.
Emma D. In galls, who exhibited some of
the work done In the schools In drawing
and colors, and made a plea for this man
ner of expreanlon aa a means of developing
in the child a recognition of the beautiful
In everything.
Doanestle Science ls Hosae.
Mra. Mary. Moody Pugh, Instructor of
domestlo science at Bellevue college, gave
one of the strong papers of the afternoon
on "Domestic Science as a Factor In School
Education." She urged that this science
that means most to most of woman has a
legitimate part' in their education and
should bo provided. "It is an accepted
fact," she said, "that being born a woman
la not being born a housekeeper or home
maker, and women need the wisest training
to meet this responsibility."
A general discussion followed, taking a
turn to tfe servant question that at times
waa pointed but highly Interesting. Mrs.
Matt Parrott. of Waterloo, chairman of the
state household economics committee, lead
ing off with the Inquiry if some of these
girls with education between 18 and 10 years
ot age, who have their own living to make,
would not prefer being a poor stenograph
er, a' poor clerk or a poor almost anything,
and at lees wages than to take up domestlo
service and brave the ban "we women
have put upon It." She closed by urging
that every delegate go back to her club
and see to It that at lesst one hour during
the year la given to an effort to ascertain
the real caune why house work is con
sidered degrading.
Mra. Miller, preskleiit of the Council
Bluffs Women's club said that it too often
happened that even club women consider
their servants only aa regards the amount
and quality of work that they are capable

ing as the remedy for this, citing Mrs. Roh
rer and others as examples of the dignity
that might be brought to domestlo science.
Mrs. Thomas Fletcher, president of the
state federation, announced that It la im
possible for any woman to do all that she
frequently exacts of her maid, and that In
her opinion the poor servant is often the
result of the Incompetent mistress.'
Clubs for the "Maids."
At this point Mrs. Montgomery requested
that the word "nervant" be dropped and
"maid" substituted. A suggestion that the
"maids" be organized Into clubs for their
own improvement met with the proposition
that the club women Invite their maids to
Join their own clubs and prove whether or
not they look down upon the work and Its
followers, but It waa generally agreed that
the majority of girls would prefer an or
ganization of their own and here the dls
cusslon cloned to give place for a paper
by Mm. Mary T. Riley of Exeter, on "Ad
vantages of the Limited CTUb" which was
among the most entertaining papers and
made the most of Its claim, Miss Ballle
Phelps of Audubon following presented the
advantages of unlimited organization.
"The Art of Simplicity," waa treated by
Mrg. Anna F. Goodwin of Malvern and
"Soma Advantages of Art Study" by Mrs.
Kate Burbank of Missouri Valley.
Mrs. Horace Deemer of Red Oak made a
plea for child study, urging more simplicity
for the child and more conscientious care
in Ita rearing.
Work for the We men.
A paper by Mrs. Fletcher, state presl
dent, on "TJie Value of Federation" closed
the program. Mrs. Fletcher Indulged in no
theories, but presented merely the eocom
pllshmenta of the organization as the
strongest proof of lta value. She asked
that the women continue to agitate and
educate until domestic science and manual
training should become a part of the currl
culum of every school. She aald: "The
legislators have denied women the ballot,
claiming that the exercise of this privilege
would unfit them for the work that is prop
erly theirs, and they have no right to with
hold tbe education necessary to the intelli
gent performance of the home duties.
She further urged that the women eg!
tate for child labor laws that would prevent
Iowa's 'ever having to meet the problems
that are today confronting so many states,
and then presented the conditions as they
have been found by club women in the
states where child labor laws are Inade
quate. There has been an lncreaae of 71
per cent In child labor tn Iowa In the past
two years and this is accepted as proof
that it is time for the women to arouse
public sentiment against ita further ex
tension.
The meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock, the
club women going to the high school,
where they had been invited to Inspect the
exhibit of art work. The majority of the
out-of-town delegates left the city last
evening, though a score or more will not
depart until this morning.

RUMOR RICHARDS IS CAUGHT
BUtemeit Comes froij ' Federal Building
that Grand Jury Voted Indictment.
FENCING AND P0ST0FFICE CASES YET ON
Summers Declares His . Intention at
Last of Co-Operating; with Gov
ernment to Prosecute
La.net Grabbers.
The statement was made, at the federal
building yesterday the the federal
grand Jury had voted an indictment against
Bartlett Rlchcrds on the charge of Illegally
fencing grazing land. DlBtrlct Attorney
Summers and the other officials In charge,
of the cane still refuse to make public any
statement, however, and the report cannot,
therefore, bo" verified.
The grand Jury put in the forenoon on the
land fencing caseit and is now at work
again on the poetofflce cases, having nearly
completed the investigation Into that at
Alma, It is given out.
In the land fencing cases but three
witnesses, aside from Special Agent F. B.
Defrees of Alliance, are here at present.
Deputy Marshal Homan Is still in the
northwest part of the state trying to find
witnesses, of which between ten and fifteen-
have been sumoned.
One of the witnesses, who arrived yester
day morning from Sioux county, tells the
sto) that while the big cattlemen have
pretended to' comply with the order to
take down their fences In some localities,
they have fenced in other large tracts
elsewhere and are gloating over the fact
that the additional fences do not come in
under the federal prohibition or order re
quiring the fences to be removed in' the
sixty-day limit last summer, and they will
defy the federal authorities to compel their
removal. He maintains that the big cattle
companies have combined to fight the
fence removal order to a finish.
Defrees Declines to Talk.
Special Agent Defrees declines to be in
terviewed in the matter, other than to
state that the cases will be given a com
plete airing before the grand Jury. The
general trend of the evidence before the
grand Jury will be to show that Increased
fencing is going on In splje of the govern
ment orders to the contrary.

STILL LOOKING FOR' BODY
Mayor Moores Denies That Search foe
Barrett ' Has Been
Abandoned.
"We have not abandoned the search for
the body of young Barrett, nor will we
until every scrap of the debris of the fire
has been picked over. We will stick to It
until we find out what has become of the
body,"
Mayor Moores made this statement last
evening after he had looked over the even
ing papers, in which were published an
nouncements of .the withdrawal of the city
forces from the search.
"The Jardine wrecking crew, which Is
employed by the Insurance companies, can
wory faster than our men," said the
mayor, "and so we turned over the work
to them. I have two jJbllcemen and two
firemen at the plaoe watching all the time.
In the evening, when the Jardine crew
knocks off work the city crew will take It
up and the search for the missing corpse
will be continued with aa much vigor aa
ever, and it will not be given up until
every bit of the wreckage haa' been gone
over and the fate of the poor boy has been
absolutely settled."
