DAVIS WINS FIRST ROUND
School Treasurer Controversy Cornea to a
Head in Judgo Aylesworth's Court.
HAVERS! OCR'S DEMURRER IS OVERRULED
Superior Conrt Held to Ilnvr Knll nnd
Competent .Itirlndlellon Over a
Contented lOli-ctlnn mill
Its Kllcet.
flcorgo S. Davis, former treasurer of tho
Independent school district of Council lilufta,
won tho first round yesterday In tho quo
warranto proceedings Instituted on his be
half In tho superior court to oust W. E.
Havcrstock, the republican candidate, who
wns declared duly elected by tho IJoard of
Education. Judge Aylesworth overruled tho
demurrer of Treasurer Havcrstock, holding
that his court had Jurisdiction over tho caso.
Havcrstock demurred on tho grounds that
tho proceedings wero Irregular and that
the court had no Jurisdiction In tho matter,
Davis' only remedy being a contest before
tho proper tribunal as in other disputed
elections. Haverstock will havo until Tues
day to file his answer, after which time the
caso can be called for trial.
Now that Judgo Aylesworth has overruled
tho demurrer of tho defendant and held that
his court has Jurisdiction, all tho questions
Involved in the controversy will corns up.
Tho first question will bo tho legality of the
election, tho second tho sufficiency of the
returns, nnd third the legality of the ballot.
In tho event of the court holding that the
election was legal and tho returns as filed
by tho Judges and clerks were sufficient,
then tho question of tho ballots will have to
bo gone Into, which means that every ballot
cast at tho school election last March will
havo to be gono over and counted. This,
It Is estimated, will consume the greater
part of a week.
Notlco cf dismissal was filed yesterday In

to restrain tho city from enforcing tho or

tho gas company from accepting the pro
visions of tho measure. The council nt its
last meeting last Monday night passed an

today and succeeded nfter much quarreling
In naming a full county ticket nnd adopting
a platform. Tho resolutions endorse the
Kansas City platform and cnll for Hrynu.
Kclatlvo to stnte matters tho resolution
says: "It Is of tho most vital Importance
that tho taxes should bo evenly distributed
so ns to fall with equality upon tho varied
Industries of tho state, but In the matter of
railway taxation wo charge that majority of
tho state cxccutlvo council have subor
dinated the Interests of tho state to the
service of certain railway Interests nnd have
been unmindful of the great Interests In
trusted to tbem In their cITorts to serve per

the policy adopted by the republican party
of Iowa whereby they permit railroads und
other corporations and their attorneys nnd
lobbyists to fix tho valuation of their own
property for assessment and to dictate the
nomination of their candidates for state of
ficers." Tho resolutions close with declaring it to
bo tho duty of our government to take
prompt nnd effective steps to protect Ameri
can lives and property In China. The quar
reling of tho day was between tho Mc
Heury nnd Huffman factions. Both wanted
to dictate.

Attorney General Ren- says -it ho has
no reason to doubt that tho lcgiul.Uure will
hold n session In 1902. A great deal of dis
cussion has been going on In different parts
of tho stato since tho death of Senator Gear
as to tho effect of the constitutional amend
ment upon the meetings of the- legislature,
ns tho amendment provides that the general
assembly which Is to bo elected In the fall
of 1902 shall meet In January, 1903. Thus
If the amendment parses, and there Is little
doubt that It will, the twenty-eighth gen
eral assembly or tho samo one that choso
John H. Gear for United States senator, will
choose tho person to fill the vacancy caused
by his denth.
Another point that tho attorney general
gives his opinion upon Is as to tho power
of the governor to 1111 the vacancy when the
lcgtslatuie Is not In session. He Bays thoro
Is no doubt In his mind that the governor
hns that power nnd Is not compelled to call
a special session of the legislature.

of tho nll-ubsorblng topic of the United

"It Is boyond tho province of any human
mind to tell who will bo the next senator.
I nm no mind reader nnd even if 1 were It
would not supply mo with the Information.
It Is not a question of having good men
for the offlco, but Just which man would be
tho best for tho place. The peoplo aro look

It Is not for mo to say at this tltme Just
who tho man Is. In fact, I have not given
the matter sufficient consideration owing to
press of business to warrant my drawing
any conclusions." Tho governor declined to
say whether or not ho would call an extra
session.
