Grounds,
FIGHT BEGINS TO WARM UP ONCE MORE

l.'li nil Us Selection
Without I'orclnit.
Tho thirty days' limit In which an ap
peal can bo taken to tho county superln
tendant from tho action of tho Hoard of
Education In selecting the old High school
property on (lien avenuo ns a location for
the new High school building expires to
day. As far an could bo learned yesterday,
It Is believed Unit no appeal will bo taken,
although this will not mean that thoso who
arc opposed to the school being built on tho
Olen avenue proporty will not tako somo
other stops to prevent tho building being
erected there. In the ovent of tho school
board refusing to rescind Its action and to
select a slto more centrally located the op
ponents of tho Olen avenue site will ro
rort to Injunction proceedings In the dis
trict court.
The general opinion seems to prevail that
tho school board In selecting the old High
srheol property, on Olen avenuo never In
tended seriously to erect the new high
scbool building there. Thero Is nlao a gravo
question, It Is araorted by many, whether
tho board could legally place tho now school
there. Such action, It Is insisted, would
not meet the spirit of the proposition on
which tho voters balloted at tho scbool
election In March. lS'.i'J, when tho proposi
tion to Ihpuo bonds In tho sum of $65,000
cetrlcd. Tho proposition as voted on was
ns follows:
Shall the board of directors Issue honds of
tho district In tho sum of Jtl,000, the pro
ceeds of the salo of which, or so much
thereof ns may bo necessary, to be used In
tho purchase of a slto for the erection of u
new high school building, the new site to be
selected bv the bonrd of directors and to he
ns centrally located ,as In Its Judgment Is
possible; tho old High school building to be
used as a grade selioot'bulldlng, for tho ac
commodation of such children us can well
attend there.
In contending that tho action of tho
board In selecting tho old High school
proporty on Olen avenuo as a alto for tho
new High school does not meet with tho
spirit of tho proposition voted on It Is
argued that the voto to purchase a slto did
not contemplate that tho board should se
lect property which the district already
owned. Again It Is contcuded that tho prop
osition as It carried contained tho proviso
that the old High school building should be
used for tho purposes of a grade school and
In that ovent It was concluded that tho
grounds would go with the building. Fur
ther, It Is contended and In fact this con
tention It Is admitted camiot bo disputed,
tho Olen avenue slto Is not centrally lo
cated and according to tho ruling of State
Superintendent Barrett In tho Oakland ave
nuo elto appeal caso would therefore not
bo eligible.
At tho school election last March when
tho question of tho choice of threo loca
tions was submitted to tho voters for an
expression of opinion the old High school
Ite received tho smallest number of votes.
Oakland avenuo received 1,36!), a site south
of Broadway and west of Main street re
ceived 899 whllo tho Glen avenuo property
nly got 731 voles.
Attorney H. J. Chambers, whom It was
reported Intended appealing from tho ac-
tlon of tho board In tho selection of tho
Olen avenue site, said yesterday that he did
not understand how such a report started.
i'hlIo ho Is strongly opposed to the new
Igh school being placed there and whllo
he vory much douhts If tho board can legally
build It thero, ho has not said that he
ould appeal. He believes that tho board
III rcallzo Its mistake ond will rescind Its
action .without being compelled to do so.
s to too time in wnicn nn appeal cuii ue
taken, expiring today, Mr. Chambers said
that an appeal to the county superinten
dent Is not the exclusive remedy. Tho aid
f tho courts can be nought and an Injunc
tion secured, which will restrain the board
frcm building tho school there, as under tho
spirit of tho proposition voted on there was
no doubt In his mind that tho board cannot
legally erect the school on tho property
owned by tho district on Olen avenue.
Member Swalne of tho School Board, "when
asked yesterday what the board Intends
doing about tho school slto matter at Its
meeting next Tuesday night, smiled and
said: "Queen we will have to rescind. It
will be nothing now for ub to do, as we
seem to havo boon doing nothing except
march up tho hill and then march donn
again."

DES MOINES, July 20. (Special Tele
gram.) Iowa's own, Prof. George B, Her
ron, nnd the nation's own, famous Eugene
V. Debs, will 6tump Iowa during this cam
paign for tho ticket and principles, of the
roclallst democracy. Prof. Herron slnco his
rctlromcnt from Orlnnell college has been
In Europe. He will return within a few
weeks. The fact that he will take the plat
form for the principles he holds bo dear haa
not been known before this time. These
announcements were made by A. W. Bicker
of Lone Tree, who visited the city today.
Debs has already agreed to spend one week
In Iowa. Tho organizers think that they
can sccuro, his services for still another
week. Tho edict has gone forth that Iowa
must bo the stamping ground for tho party
this year. The Idea Is to start Debs In at
Dubuque, tnkc him down tho river Into all
the river towns where socialism Is the
strongest nnd countermarch up tho heart
of tho Sixth district among tho miners to
Des Moines, eventually. It Is learned, how
ever, that Mlfs rtand, who wns responsible
for Hcrron's connection with Orlnnell col
lege, has contributed $500 to the campaign
fund of the socialist democratic party.
Chairman II. O. Weaver of the republican
stntc central committee has officially an
nounced thnt the republican stato conven
tion wllibe held In this city August 1. Tho
announcement was mnd this afternoon
after the chairman had accompanied a com
mittee from the Auditorium coming through
the building nnd was satisfied that matters
arc Just as havo been represented by tho
business men of Des Moines nnd tho builders
of tho convention hall.
"I am more thnn pleased," said Weaver
to tho committee. "It would be a great dis
appointment' to the republicans of Iowa If
they could not hold tho convention In the
Auditorium, but L am convinced slnco my
tour of Inspection this morning that they
will not be compelled to hold It elsewhere.
I wish also to congratulate the business men
of Des Moines for their pluck and persever
anco In reconstructing such a magnlficlcnt
building from tho ruins of a few short weeks
ngo."

Des Moines had .86 Inches of rain last

cldcd against tho farcjgn Insurance compa-
nles doing business In Iowa, will bo carried

application will bo made to Judge C. T.
Granger.
Tho cases In question Involved tho right
of tho ptate -of Iowa to tax foreign Insur-
ance companies 3H per cent on their
premiums collected In Iowa when tho stato
only charged Its own' companies 1 per cent
and tho companies outsldo the stato In the
union but 2' por cent. This, tho foreign
companies clalmc'd, was discrimination In
violation of tho treaty of this country with
Great Britain under which tho citizens of
that country aro gtvn a right to do busi
ness In Iown as citizens of this country.
Both tho stato 'pupreiae court and the fed
oral court has hold that the tax charged by
this Btato Is a license and Is not a tax. Tho
test caso was the Scottish Union and Na-
tlonnl Insurance company against John Har
riott, being an action to restrain the treas
urer of state from collecting thoso taxes to
recover taxes already paid under the provi
sions of tho law. Tho other foreign com
oanles, however, numbering about thirty,
rested their cases on tho samo suit. The
appeal -will affect all of them alike.
