ment: "la view of the fact that hla continu
ing to taaoh In the district might have a
tendency to cause trouble and division
among the patrons of the school, Mr, Wall
decided not to apply for the school for
the coming term. He states that he did
Slot feel that there was any Just cause
for complaint, but that the retaining of
the position waa not of sufficient Import
ance to him to lead Mm to persist In
teaching where there was even a possi
bility of causing diacord, with Its result
ant injury to the school, and that he would
Imply seek employment elsewhere and
thus remove all cause of contention."

NO SYMPATHY FOR RUSSIA
Iowa Legialatira 8iti Down on Bead es:
Intion by Unan moui Vo'.a.
BEGIN TO TALK ABOUT ADJOURNMENT
Appropriations Asked (or by State
Colleges and flints I nlverslty Are
Materially Cut by the
Senate Committee.
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, March 19.-(Speclal.) The
house of representatives went on record
this morning as distinctly repudiating any
sympathy for Russia In Its war with Japan.
The committee on federal relations had re
ported adversely the Head resolution call
ing for neutrality on the part of the United
States. Mr. Head asked leave to with
draw the resolution ao there would be no
record made on the matter. Wright ob
jected and Insisted that the house should
either approve or disapprove the resolu
tion. Mr. Head disclaimed any Intention
of a plan to manifest sympathy with either
of the powers and stated that since the In
troduction of the resolution all that had
been suggested had come to pass, because
the government at Washington had taken
an absolutely neutral stand. But Mr.
Wright Insisted the resolution was under
stood to be one of sympathy for Russia
and he Insisted on voting it down, which
was done without opposition.
The first sign of uneasiness on the part
of rural members came today when a res
olution was Introduced to adjourn sine die
April 2. It was hitil over. The Joint reso
lution recommending election of senators
by the people was brought up and passed
after a short discussion and no opposi
tion. The house passed the bill to permit
printing reports of the proceedings of
Boards of Supervisors In foreign lan
guages; also a bill to make a technical
change In rules of practice before the su
preme court; a bill to effect slight change
In the rule regarding Indictments under
the nedlcal practice act; a bill to make It
a crime to steal gas, electricity or water,
and another bill to punish for interfering
with gas. electric or water mains cr the
machinery or mains or wires; also a bill
to provide for the aale by the executive
council of landa to whloh the atate haa
title lying in meandered streams; also bill
to make soldiers' relief apply to soldiers
of all wars; and bill to fix compensation
of county auditors.
The speaker of the house today ap
pointed Messrs. Frudden, Bealer, Kennedy,
Langan, Weldon, Conn. Nichols and Peet
a committee on the part of the house to
visit the Deaf School at Council Bluffs
and report on the character of the site..
The senate has not yet taken action In
favor of such a committee.
Board of Managers Coming;.
A bill providing for the appointment of
a Board of Managers for the three edu
cational Institutions of the state, the Uni
versity of Iowa at Iowa City, the Normal
at Cedar Falls and the State college at
Ames, Is to be presented In the senate
next week. After considerable discussion
of the matter by a number of senators
deeply Interested in thesn Institutions, It
was agreed today that It ahould be placed
In tbe hands of a subcommittee of the
visiting committee for tde schools. This
committee aa agreed upon consists of Sen
ators Maytag, Dunham and Brooke. The
bill will be carefully drafted and Its friends
believe It will meet with favorable re
ception. After voting almost unanimously this
morning to accept the Invitation of the
Iowa City Commercial club to visit tho
State university next Thursday, the senate
got down to hard work and passed bills
as rapidly as they could be read and voted
on. The measures were nil or considerable
Importance, but there waa little opposition
to any of them. The first bill passed
changes the date for the meeting of the
State Board of Health frcrn May and No

Mrs. Gallnaather Goes Free.
Sarah Ellen Gallaugher of Johnson county
will not serve any part of her twenty-year
entenco for perjury. The Iowa aupreme
court today declared the Indictment on
which ahe was convicted Insufficient and
Indefinite. She was tried for conspiring
with Charles Holada for the murder of
her husband and acquitted. Holada con
fessed and was sentenced for life. Mra.
Gallaugher as a witness In her own behalf
testified contrary to the confession of
Holada. and for this she was sentenced
for perjury. A number of reasons were
named In the Indictment for the perjury
accusation, but the Jury found only one
of her statements to be false, this relating
to her criminal intimacy with Holada.
But the Indictment simply declared that
the defendant "well knew" certain facts,
etc., and failed to declare specifically the
trufh on which the alleged perjury was
based. The court found that there were no
precedents to support such tndeflnlteness In
an indictment for perjury.
