tha exhibit of the handiwork of the pu
pils ot the public schools the display of
their work at 143 Broadway will be con
tinued another day. It was the Intention
a'to dismantle th room last evening, but
line decision was reached yesterday not
ho do so until this evening, thus catching
the Saturday night crowds. There was
a constant throng of visitors all day yes
terday and early In tha afternoon those
Jn charge estimated that the number had
exceeded 1,400.
Aa an example of the work being done
In tha manual training and dbmestto sci
ence departments the exhibit Is of great
value. It would undoubtedly continue to
draw crowds If continued for even an
other week. Fancy prices have been of-
-Jtrsd for many of the articles, but noth
ing baa been sold. The purpose la to
show what can be done In the city
schools, not to seek a market for ' the
product.

CENSUS OF CITY IS TAKEN
Thirty-One Thousand Five Ilundred
Persons Are Found by the
Enumerators.
INCREASE IN FIVE YEARS
Althouiih not ready to submit bis of
ficial report. City Assessor Rlker an
nounces that he has completed his work
of census enumeration. His fifteen depu
ties have turned In their last rards and
the work of checklntr and rechccRing has
been concluded.
The census will show that Council
Bluffs has a popu'atlon of 31.600. with the
probability that the ciphers will be dis
placed by the addition of a few more. The
federal renms five years ago gave the
population as 29.D92. The lncreas Is In
keeping with the steady growth for tho
last ten years.
The law elves until June 1 to complete
the census and Mr. Rlker may decide not
to make his official report until that
tlm although the work was practically
completed two weeks ago. .
It was the hopo of the enrmnrutora to
find enough people to raise the number
to 32,000. If the enumeration could have
been made about the first of the year
the desire would undoubtedly havo been
realized, for slncaMhen many men havo
left town to engage In .their usual sum
mer work. The work has been done very
methodically and accurately, bub. despite
the care and Industry of the enumerators
thcro are undoubtedly a considerable
number not listed. Some of theso will be
added befovo the count Is finally closed.
Suit Brought to
Set Aside Deeds
A milt affecting the title of ten tracts
of land, comprising about 400 acres ot
Mills county farms, was filed In federal
court yesterday by Martin McCormick
of New York! The defendants are the
heirsy of a brother, Patrick MeCormlck,
who 'died on the Mills county farm, Oc
tober 24, 1910, and are the widow, Jessie
W. McCormick, Charles V. Schenck. who
holds a mortgage on some of the land,

Mrs. Nels Olson, I I. Stevenson and
Mary P. Stevenson.
The petition charges that Patrick Mc
Cormick owned ten tracts of Mills county
land prior to his marriage to his sur
viving widow. A pre-nuptlal contract was
made by which the bride, then Mrs.
Jessie ,W. Morrison, was given a deed
to 160 acres, with tha understanding that
this was to be her portion of her hus
band' estate. The pre-nuptlal ' contract
was drawn and witnessed by E. B.
Woodruff, of Glenwood, now one of the
Judges of the district court. It was dated
May. 14, 1903, the day of their marriage.
A year before Ills death when he ,waa
74 years old. McCormick deeded to) his
wife all of his property. The brother
now claims that undue Influence was
used. to. bring this, about, and that his
brother was. not . mentally compeiem ai
that . time,
Ha alleges that no waa ts
year's old at the time of his marriage,
and that owing to his age'he Was incom
petent, to dispose of fcls property. It is
further alleged that a suit to quiet title
was started in federal court here by the
widow, and settled by the acquisition of
quit claim deeds. The brother alleges
he had no knowledge of this suit, or Its
settlement and did not learn of it until
last year. He arks that the deeds given
to the wife be set aside and tho title be
quieted in him. . f '.'"'.

given for the Lusitanla affair has been
much discussed, but there seems to be
slight disposition on the part of American
business men here to close up their en

The German reply to the Washington
note regarding the Lusitanla has slowly
taken ahape at a series ot conferences at
the foreign office.
It has been aoggeated ' here that If
America Insists on the right of Its cttl
snna to travel on passenger steamers be
longing to belligerents, without risk of a
submarine attack, an arrangement might
be reached by which tine American gov

of such steamers contained no contra

risk of being torpedoed without warning

American Packers
Kick on the British
Meat Trade Methods
LONDON. May 22. Although repre

generally agree that .the British govern

office memorandum defending British
treatment of detained cargoes lively ex
ception is taken to the paragraph de
voted to a defense of tho government's
action in regard to meat shipments.
Tho foreign office stated that negotia
tions for settlement of theso cases had
come to a standstill "owing to the exor
bitant terms Insisted upon by the repre
sentatives ot the American packers."
One of the leading representatives on
the American side In these negotiations
declared that In this paragraph the Brit
ish government had been wholly evasive
and absolutely unfair. The American con
tention Is substantially ss follows:
The meat was purchased under contract
In Chicago for shipment to rVandlnavtan
countr.ea. When these cargoes were de
tained, the packers told the British gov
ernment that while believing their de
tention was wholly Illegal under interna
tional law, thry were willing to come to
a frlendy settlement. Nevertheless as
business men, and to avoid a great loos
on the part of their client, they must In
sist that the government give them the
contract price which they would receive
In Scnndlnavla, as tlie meat wu prepared
for northern climes, and was not suitable
for the local market. Not only would It
bring a low price hero on that account,
but if they tierce to the government's
plan to Hell It at auction thn dumping rf
th"Ki huge conatKnmeiits on the local
miirket would bring about a reduction in
prices. Hence their rvfuaal to agree to
the government's propositi.
Demand Bills Upon
London Sinking Low
NEW rORK, May 22. Bankers with In
ternational connections were concerned
today with the course of . the foreign
exchange markets, all of which, with tho
possible exception of that of Germany,
continued to move In favor of this coun
try and point to its Increasing Import
ance as a world center of finance.
Demand bills on London declined to
4.78, which Is not only far below the
usual ' rate at which gold : can be , Im
ported from England, but establishes the
minimum quotation for thtX. form of re
mittance since the panic of 1R71, when
our bankers were resorting to every de
vice, because of home necessities, to ob
tain gold from abroad.
Francs -and llres also went to lowest
prices recorded since the outbreak of
the war, and so far ss could be learned,
today's rates for remittances to Paris and
Rome have not been equalled In a fen
eration. Relchmarks, or exchange on Germany,
were steady with moderate transactions,
but rates on all other continental con
fers were weak. Cables from Paris re
port a record quotation for French ex
change on London.
