The democrats were naturally feeling ex
ceedingly Jubilant yesterday, while the re
publicans were taking their defeat philos
ophically and trying to figure out how It
all happened. Owing to the bereavement
of Dr. Macrae ond City .Engineer Etnyre
the democrats have postponed their Jubi
lation over Monday's victory, but are plan
ning for a monster demonstration the latter
part of the week. ' "
The present city council will meet Sat
urday night to wind up Its work and allow
the monthly grist of bills. It will meet
Monday evening tor the last time for the
sole purpose of approving the minutes of
Saturday night's session and will , then
make place for Mayor Macrae and the new
city council. '
Rash for Pie Counter. . . .
Mayor Macrae and' the new olty council
will have a number of appointments at
their disposal and the Ink had .' hardly
got dry on the election returns Monday
night before the rush for the pie counter
began. The appointments at the disposal
of the city council are: City clerk, chief cf
the fire department, city electrician, who
also combines the office of superintendent
of fire end police telegraph; city physician,
street commissioner, sidewalk Inspector,
poll tax collector, poundmaster and custo
dian of the city building. The city clerk
la permitted to name his deputy subject
to the approval and confirmation by the
city council.
With the mayor rests the appointment of
a chief of police and tbe members of the
police department. Street talk yesterday
waa that Louis Zurmuehlen, jr., was
slated for chief of police, but Mr. Zur
muehlen denied the Impeachment that he
was ambitious to don brass buttons and a
star. Aspirants for the police force are
said to be legion and that Dr. Macrae is
Inundated with applications.
For chief of the fire department five
names ere prominently mentioned, as fol
lows: John Bates, former, chief; Charles
Nicholson, former chief; C. I. Walters.
Miles Beofleld and William' Boyne. John
Plumer Is credited with being slated for
city clerk, while Fred Shoemaker and
George Tlnley are stated to be anxious
to serve as his deputy. The appointment
of street commissioner will undoubtedly
go to A. E. Avery. It Is announced that

Class Rivalry Rans Hlerh.
The spring vacation has given a renewed
and, if anything, a more vigorous start
to the rivalry between the eenlor and
Junior classes of the high school, which
are vlelng with each other In placing their
class colors at the highest point possible
and maintaining them there. Yesterday
morning the seniors, after capturing the
president of the Junior class and eight of
his. classmates, bound their hsnds and feet,
set them on the curb with a guard over
them and forced them to watch the hoist
ing of the seniors' pennant to the top of
the 150-foot electric light tower at Fourth
street and Brosdway. After the flag had
been safely flung to the breeze the seniors
released their captives.
Four hours later the senior class pen
nant went up In smoke. The Juniors, be
ing unable to reach It so Ihey could haul
It down and trample It In the mud, de
cided the next bent thing was to apply the
torch to It, and this with the assistance
of a paid hireling, so the seniors assert,
they succeeded In accomplishing. '
The seniors then entrenched themselves
In a camp on the top of the tall bluff
hack of the High school and, having se
cured a new pennant, again flung It
tauntingly to the breese. The camp of the
seniors was Impregnable from all but one
side and this they kept closely guarded
all day. Towards night the rain forced
the seniors to desert the camp and haul
down their pennant, but new and !nrest
Ing developments In the class rivalry are
looked for today.

ITALIAN SEEKS VENGEANCE
Denounces Compatriot to Polloe as
an Anarchist Who Would Kill
. President.
NEW TORK. March 29.-The story of an
alleged plot to assassinate President Roose
velt, which on Investigation proved to be
entirety without foundation, was made pub
lic today by Police Commissioner McAdoo.
' Several days ago the commissioner re
ceived a letter from an Italian In Italy say
ing that snother Italian was about to come
to this country for the express purpose of
assassinating the president. The writer
gave a detailed description cf the alleged
anarchist, the steamer on which he would
sail and full details of the alleged plot.
When the steamer docked an Inspector was
on hand with a large squad of detectives
and the suspect was found and detained.
Investigation, however, showed that the
case was purely one of spite on the part of
the man who wrote the letter. It was
found that the detains man was not an
anarchist and that he had a perfect right
to enter this country. He was allowed to
land. The object of the letter, It was
found, waa to have the man deported.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
I-EB MOINES, March 29. vBpeclal.) The
Iowa road law, which wits placed on the
statute books two years ago and which has
not ns yet been given a lull trial, will re
main at least two years longer on the stat
ute books unchanged. The senate today
took up the C'hadscll bill, wnlch had passed
the house und which would have effected
partial repeal of the law by eliminating
tho compulsory feature as It rotates to
payment in cush of road taxes. It also
provided that townships might elect to
return to the subdlstrlct system of road
supervisors. The bill had passed the house
after a long struggle. It was warmly de
bated In the senate on a motion to indefi
nitely postpone, and this motion finally
prevailed by an overwhelming Vote, showing
that the bill never had any chance of pass
age In the senate. The vote on postponing
was us follows:

The senate adopted the bill appropriating
(200,000 for the completion of the state his
torical building at Des Moines. The work
Is to be done within the next two years.
A new oil Inspection bill. Introduced by
Senutor Winne at the request of the secre
tary of state, was adopted. It was ex
plained that the bill does not make any
radical changes In the present law, but
tends to put the Inspection on more of a
business basis.
Senator Harper this morning secured the
adoption of a resolution for final adjourn
ment of the senate on April 8, but later a
motion for reconsideration was filed by
Wlnne. It went over under the rules. It
is not believed final adjournment can be
had much before April 15.
The senate In the ofternoon continued the
work of making impropriations and added
quite a number to its list. The appropria
tion for 147,000 for a new building on the
state fair ground was jassed as It came
from the house. The appropriation for
$7,000 for the Benedict home In Des Moines,
nnd for $2,000 each for the Florence Critten
den home In Sioux City and the Dubuque
Rescue home were all passed. A bill to re
quire placing fire escapes on all buildings
of three stories or over was pasaed.

ilnes, $1,500; furniture and furnishings,'

proprlatlon for heating apparatus, $1,010.
The bill will undoubtedly be passed with
these appropriations which have been asked
for by the Board of Control and will be
expended under their direction. Some sur
prise was expressed that the committee had
Ignored the recommendations for money to
buy more land and for painting the build
ings. The amounts for the Clarlnda hospital

School Legislation.
The schools committee today reported for
passage the bill which would legalise the
acts of school hoards In the matter of vot
ing various matters where the !egal forms
have not been observed in accordance with
the suggest lona of the supreme court. The
same committee recommended for passage
I the bill which would place the examlna
' tlon of papers of all teachers In the hands
'of the State Board of Educational Exam
iners; also the bill changing the time of
the school year and the btll amending the
compulsory education law so that there will
he sixteen weeks of school attendance at
the beginning of the year.
The house at the morning session passed
the bill to give Incorporated towns the

sewage disposal plants, the bill to Increase
the salary of deputy dairy commissioner
and provide for three assistants; the bill
to provide for a commission to approve in
surance policies and require that all life
Insurance policies shall be Issued only on
a medlcsl examination, snd the bill to
! place the control of state documents In the
hands of the executive council. A bill to
Increase the pay of deputy county treas
urers was defeated. The house discussed a
bill to provide for a bacteriological labora
tory, but as It sras evident H could not
be passed, it was referred to a committee.
educational Appropriations.
The bill making- appropriations for the
educational institutions got Into the house
appropriations committee today and at the
suggestion of the State university was re
ferred again to a subcommittee. The de
mand Is that a still larger sum be voted
for the State university than agreed
uoon. The bill appropriating $125.0u0 for
making the Knoxvllle building serviceable
for the dipsomania Institute was recom
mended for passage. The visiting com
mittee which went to Davenport reported
practically In opposition to the purchase
of Camp McClellan for a city park there.
The committee found that 122 acret could
be got for $26,000 and recommended this.

Heir to a Fortune.
Harry Thompson, a dental student at
Drake university, has fallen heir to a
one-third Interest In 8.Yl,fl00 and a large
tobacco plantation near Wheeling, W, Va.,
by the death of his grandfather, Judge

Thompson has received a telegram from
the grandfather's attorney Informing him
of the good luck. The attorney, Thomas
Entrlcan of St. Louis, arrived last night
and went with Thompson to Wheeling to

between them several years ago, when the
boy left his grandfather In anger end
came to Des Moines to win his fortune.
