The. matter of wholesale vaccination of
children attending the. public schools Is lh
statu quo owing" to the oommittee from
the Board of Education and the Board
of Health, being enable to get together.
The proposed conference could not be held
Thursday, owing to the absence of Mayor
Macrae from the city and now President
Mess of the school board, who with Attorney
Emmet Tlnley, comprises the comfnlttee
from that body, Is out of the city and Is
not expected to Teturn until Sunday or
Monday. Under these circumstances It Is
not likely the conference can be held until
Monday night, when the regular meeting
r of the Board of Health will occur.
When Mayor Macrae returned to the city
yesterday and was informed of the action
of tha Board of Education and that a con
ference . was desired, he 'expressed the
.opinion that a conference was wholly un
necessary. "The Board of Health, after
due deliberation of the matter decided to
direct the .Board of Education to require
the vaccination, of children attending the
city schools who had ot been efficiently
vaccinated within the past three years. It
Is In my opinion mandatory on the Board
of Education to carry out the Instructions
of Ihe.. Board of Health. The public health
Is of primary Importance and the Board of
' Education stiould; not get scared clear off
the track because some parents threaten to
withdraw their Children from school. Of
'course If the Board of Education declines
to carry out these instructions, I presume
the Board of Health will have to act, but
In exactly what .manner I am not, of
courso, prepared to say at this time. Per
sonally'.! cannot see the use of holding a
. conference..' unless tVe Board of Health
deslrel to back .down, and I don't believe
it do," he said.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, Feb. 17. (Special Tele
gram.) In an opinion rendered toduy at
the request of the governor for the benefit
of Cedar Rapids authorities. Attorney Gen
eral Mullan says municipalities can build
bridges and open streets across rivers
without submitting plans to the River Im
provement association and without its
consent.
Is Candidate for Presidency.
Rev. Mr. Cornell of Kansas City Is now
considered a candidate for the presidency
of Des Moines college. The college has
been without a head for some months.
Dr. 11. L. Stetson of Kalamazoo, formerly
the president, has been invited and was to
take the matter under consideration, but
he has been so long about it that other
candidates are appearing, the strongest
being Rev. Mr. Cornel
Left for Attorney General.
The matter of the ownership of the coal
under the rivers of the state has been re
ferred to the attorney general to Investi
gate." When the Des Moines river was
navigable the bed belonged to the state.
It has been declared non-navtgabln, but Is
meandered. As non-navlgablo the bed
would belong to the abutting property
owners. As meandered they own only to
the meandered line. There have been many
thousands of tons taken from under the
river already.
Boys to Inaugural.
At the request of Governor . Cummins,
John F. Rlgga has taken charge 'of the mat
ter of the securing of representatives from
the high schools of the state to attend
the inaugural. He has written to all. the
city superintendents of the state, asking
them to name representatives and has
agreed to go as the escort for the dele
gation. State Rests Murder Case,.
The stato has rested its case
against Charles Thomas, on trial
for the murder of Mabel Sconeld five
years ago. Summed up the state claims It
has proven that a murder was committed
by the use of chloral hydrate, or "knock
out" drops, a poison which the defendant
purchased on different occasions, one time
Just prior to the discovery of the girl's
body. It has also been proven that Thomas
was at home and at the place the forenoon
of the day on which the slate says the
body of his victim was conceulcd prior to
its final disposal in the Des Moines river.
The defense will offset this latter testi
mony. It Is claimed, by attempting to prove
that the defendant drove a hack at a fu
neral on the forenoon in question and could
not have been at the home at the time men
tioned by the state. Four physicians have
testified that the body had no water In the
lungs when taken from the river, thereby
Indicating that the girl was dead before
the body was placed in the water. The case
has been continued pending the preparation
for a motion for the dismissal, which will
be argued some time today.
Car Line Owes State,
According to the testimony of President
George B. Robblns of the Armour Car Line
company the company Is indebted to the
state of Iowa to the amount of about $15,
015, and steps may be taken to collect It.
President Robblns, before the subcommit
tee of the house on Interstate commerce,
stated that his company Is capitalized at
$15,000,000. According to the records In the
nfflce of Secretary of State Martin the cap
italization of the company Is but $100,000. If
tha capital stock has been Increased the
company owes the state on the additional
capitalization. The articles were filed in
1901 and at that time the state could charge
but $2,000 as a maximum fee. This, how
ever, has been changed and the increases
the company has made it Bhould pay fees
upon. The fee is $1 for each additional $1,000
of capitalization after the first fee is paid.
About $115 was first paid, leaving the com
pany Indebted to the stato nearly $15,000.
Steps may be taken to collect It.
Increase In Premiums.
An Increase of several hundred dollars is
made In the total amount of the premiums
for the various fancy cattle breeds at the
State fair for this year. Secretary John
Simpson has letters from the secretaries
of the associations to this effect The State
Fair association gives $1,000 or a little over
to each of the three breeds, Hereford,
Shorthorn and Aberdeen-Angus. The Amer
ican Hereford Cattle Breeders' association
will this year give $500 Instead of $300 as be
fore. The American Shorthorn Breeders'
association will this year give $300 and 50
per cent of all the state gives above that
amount up to $1,000. This will cause them
to give $t!50. where they formerly gave $W0.
The American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders'
association will this year give $300, which is
an Increase over the amount they gave last
year. These amounts would seem to In
sure the success of the exhibits of cattle
again for this year. At last year's fair the
exhibits of cattle were considered the best
that the fair has ever had.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Low Temperatare and Deep SnowiLeoreue
Volume of Business.
CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE IS UNSHAKEN
Preparations to Meet Knpeeted De
mand for Goods In All Lines Con
tinuesSlight Decrease In
Railway Earnings.
NEW TORK, Feb. 17. H. G. Dun A Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trad tomorrow will
say:
Weather conditions still dominate the
trade situation. Low temperature and deep
snow have Interfered with truttlc una
checked the revival of business that aa
well under way In most sections of me
country. Retail distribution is not main
tained and the deleterious conditions are
visible, while the interi uptlon to movement
ot freight has interrupted manutacturing
to some extent. Prices of staple commodi
ties at the exchange are advanced by tne
restricted receipts at primary markets.
There Is a partial offset In the largely in
creased demand for heavy-weight wearing
apparel and other winter goods, whicn
promises to reduce supplies In ail positions
at the end of the season. Meanwhile there
Is evidence that confidence in the future re
mains unshaken, preparations for spring
and summer trade continuing unabated, ex
cept where fuel or other supplies are tem
porarily blockaded In transit. Jobbing trade
In dry goods is on a liberal scale. Hallway
earnings thus lor reported for February
were . per cent, smaller than a year ago,
probably another result of bad weather.
Foreign commerce at this port for the
last week made a remarkable record for Im
ports, exceeding In value those of the corre
sponding week last year' by $1,376,617. Ex
Dorts decreased li.tHM.SSH.
Dispatches from leading Iron and steel
centers Indicate no cher-k to progress except
the temporary Interruptions to output and
delivery caused by storms and continued
cold weather. It Is possible to trade the
effect of the elemtnts on the receipts of
coke, which prevented the resumption of
work at several blast furnaces.
Quotations are firm, with little fluctua
tions, although in several departments it Is
probable that higher prices will be asked,
particularly for tin plates, which the mills
cannot deliver promptly. In the textile In
dustries the most significant event of the
week was .the revival of export buying of
cotton goods for China. Accumulation of
packer native hides caused a fractional de
cline In prices, but the market is not actu
ally lower. Foreign dry hides are scarce
and firm. The volume of business Is only
fair.
Failures this week numbered 2M In 1h
United States, agninst 2S7 last year and 32
In Canada, compared with 20 a year ago.

Cold Weather and Holiday Itedace
Volatile of Business for Week.
NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Bradstreets to
morrow will suy:
Cold, stormy weather, the most severe
and widely distributed in some respects of
the winter, has had a depressing effect
on the trade, both wholesale and retuil,
and has disorganized railroad transporta
tion in some sections and thereby interfered
with various lines of Industry, such as coal
mining, cuke, und Iron manufacturing and
shipping, heretofore active. Relatively the
effects on opening spring trade are noted
In the northwest and west, but .the south
west and south have suffered severely and
the east and the northeust have felt the
effect in a slighter degree. The result is a
curtnllment of the activities of nulesmcn
over a wide area, . which, taken In conjunc
tion with the occurrence of a holiday inv
many states, has reduced the week's tradii
to very small proportions.
Despite this drawback, however, some
favorable features cunte to light upon ex
urrfinutlon. The Iron and steel situation Is,
if anything, rather stronger. Heavy sales
of southern pig iron are reported north and
south, some large rail sales are announced
at the west and the nevousness of consum
ers for supplies is reflected in advance for
a number of line of finished products. Rail
way earnings for January, though reflect
ing stormy weather and grain-rate troubles,
show a gain of 6 per cent: this, however,
comparing with a decrease of 3.8 per cent
in the same month a year ugo.
