The republlcsns of the Independent
school district of Council Bluffs will meet
this evening In mass convention to name
three candidates for members of the Board
of Education. The convention will be
railed to order it I o'clock In the south
court room of the county court house by
Chairman Hess of the city central com
mitter. It ts almost a foregone conclusion that
J. P. Hess and George Gorman, the two
members whose terms expire this spring,
will be accorded renomlnatlons, but who
the candidates will be to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Colonel W.
J. Davenport cannot be predicted. Among
the names prominently mentioned are
those of N. P. Anderson. John G. Wads
worth, John C. Fleming, Fred H. Hill and
Harvey Swartx, or some other representa
tive from the western part of the city.
The democrats will not follow the ex
ample of the republicans and hold a mass
meeting to name their ticket. Under the
call issued Inst evening by Chairman
Hughes of the democratic city central com
mittee they will hold a delegate conven
tion on the evening of Thursday, March

ITo Inquest on nets.
The man whoso lifeless body wrs found
Monday morning under the Union PaclAe
bridge, between the end- of the dump and
the river, was yesterday Identified as John
G. Bets, a well-to-do fnrmer and stockman
living about six miles . from Shenandoah,
la.' The Identification was made by his
widow and stepdaughter, who came to
Council Bluffs yesterday morning from
Shenandoah. They toook the remains last
evening to Sparland, III., for burial.
Mrs. Bets was almost prostrated with
the shock of her husband's death and de-
I cllned to make any statement beyond that
he left home last Saturday morning- in
tending to go to York and Lincoln, Neb.,
on business, he having a farm near York.
How Bets came to his death will prob
ably never be known, and Coroner Trey
nor decided yesterday after talking with
the widow that an Inquest would not tend
to throw any additional light on the case
and would be unnecessary. Beta was 48
years ot age.

lard took the lecture good naturedly and
told of the necessity which the amendment
suggested. The Sen ale, however, turned
down the amendment. Then Senator Mil
lard fndoavored to get InO.OdO additional

Hard Fight for Army Posts.
Among the hard struggles for western In
terests In the committee was one today In
the appropriations committee by Senator
Warren to secure an adequate appropria
tion for constructing military posts. The
estimate for military-posts throughout the
country, made by the quartermaster gen
eral, was nearly $2,500,000, but the secretnry
of war cut this to $1,885,000, thinking this
amount would be appropriated by congress.
But the house'approprlatlon committee cut
the secretary's figures to $1,0Q0,0D0. Senator
Warren today appeared before the sub
committee of the senate appropriations
committee and made a strong plea for the
secretary's estimate of $l,fiau,000, but was
turned down. Then he took the matter tip
befoTo the full committee and secured the
Increase of the amount to $1,500,000. This
additional $500,000 over the house bill, If re
tained In conference, will enable the War

Dr. Jordan Talks.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal., March
1. Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford uni
versity, said today:
The sudden death of Mrs. Stanford has
come aa a great shock to nil of us. She
has been so brave and strong that we hoped
for her return well rested and that her last
look on earth might be on her beloved Palo
Alto. But It was a Joy to her to have been
spnfd so long to have lived to see the
work of her husband's life and herself
llrmly established. Hers has been a life of
most perfect devotion to her own and her
husband's Ideals. If In the years we knew
her she ever had a selfish feeling no one
ever detected It. All her thoughts were of
the university and of the way to make it
effective for wisdom and righteousness. No
one outside the university can understand
the difficulties In her way In the final es
tablishment of the university and her
patient deeds of self-sacrifice can be known
only to those who saw them from day to
dav. Some dav the world may understand
a part of this. It will then know her for!
the wisest as wen as tne most generous
friend of learning in our time. It will know
her as the most loyal and moat devoted of
wives, who did always the best that she
could do. Wise, devoted, steadfast, prudent,
patient and Just, every good word we can
use waa hers by right. The men and women
of the university feel the loss not alone of
the" most generous of helpers, but of the
nearest of friends.

MAXWELL TALKS OF SCHOOLS
Says It la Doty of State, Hot of
City, to Provide Edu
cation. MILWAUKEE. March l.-At today's ses
sion of the department of superintendents
of the national educational convention Wil
liam H. Maxwell, superintendent of schools
of the city of New York and president of
the National Education association, spoke
on the topic, "Charter Provisions as Re
lated to the Organization of School Sys
tems." The speaker said - that the fundamental
principle to be borne in mind Is that the
state and not the city Is prlmar ly responsi
ble for public education. All history shows
that when education is not provided -and
enforced under the authority of the law
il is poorly provided and never enforced.
It should be the duty ot the state's educa
tional executive officer to see that tha ed
ucational laws are enforced. He advocated
training schools in large cities and the ap
pointment or ' motion of teachers as the
result of con. itlve examination.
Edward C. Eliot and F. Louis Soldan
of St. Louis, Mo., spoke in laudatory terms
of tho successful government of the school
system of 8'. Louis under Its charter.
Louisville waa chosen as the next place
of meeting. John W. Carr of Anderson,
Ind., was elected president.
