INDICATE CHOICE BY INFORMAL BALLOT
,oiiiliinliiK Committer and Mnjorlty
of the Members Are .Vol AwrtM'il In
Melcetlon of H President, mid
ii Contest Is On.
The proceedings of tho Iowa Federation
of Woman's clubs, In session at Council
III lifts, opened In lively manner yesterday
morning. An animated discussion uroso
when the chtlrmun ot tho nominating com
mittee moved for an Informal ballot by
which to Indicate tho cholco of tho con
vention for candidates tor ofllcus within
the gift ot thu federation.
This motion was seconded. Protest fol
lowed. It was asserted that such action
wan unconstitutional In view of tho fact
that tho convention had a nominating com
mittee. Tbo chair overruled tho objection
and announced that an Informal ballot
would bo taken at the close ot the morn
ing session.
Other business was taken up, but mean
while several nicmberB found tlmu for
hasty caucus In tho vestibule, resulting In
n motion tu poatpono thu balloting until
afternoon. Then there wns another pro
test, even stronger than the first. Somo
of tho women declared that It was unfair
to trespass upon the time of the press
women's program, while others who ob
jected gave no partlculnr reason. Tho
declaration that tho time of thu bnllotlng
having once been decided upon could not
bo changed was vigorously disputed. Ref
erence to tho secretary's books disclosed
that tho house had uul taken a vote to
dreldo the tlmo at which thu balllot should
bo taken, but that It had simply voted for
a ballot and that tho president had ap
pointed thu tlmo. A voto wob taken, which
resulted In favor of postponement, 103 to 89.
Taken Informal llnllnt.
During tho noon Intermission tho women
wero busy and In compliance-' with tho de
cision of the morning session, the Informal
ballot was taken immediately after tho
afternoon session was called to order.
It Is understood that thu nominating
committee favors the following ticket, al
though no official expression has been
mado:
President, Mrs. II. M. Towner, Corning;
vlco president, Mrs. llarclay, llooue; cor
responding secretary, Mrs. Nellie F. Cook.
Algona; treasurer, Mrs. John P. Davis,
Council Bluffs.
As a result of a meeting of delegates
from the western port of the stato the
following list of candidates was mado out
for their support:
President, Mrs. Dcemcr, Ited Oak; vlco
president, Mrs. Illlck, Uurllngton; cor
responding secretary, Mrs. Towner. Corn
ing; recording secretary, Mrs. Walker, Des
Moines; treasurer, Mrs. Trendway, Du
buque. It developed last night, although the
results of tho Informal ballot have not been
made public, that Mrs. Alice Bailey of
Dcs Moines Is the choice of a majority of
tho members for the presidency, desplto
tho fact that she haB opposition from her
homo town, nlso that she U not thp favor
Ito of (he nominating committee. It Is said
that If Mrs. Bailey Is elected president
of tho federation, she will resign as presi
dent ot tho Des Moines Woman's club.
Tho Des Moines delegation wants tho
presidency, but lacks united effort. Mrs.
Bailey's general popularity over the state
Is relied upon to offset what she lacks
lu the way of support from hor own dele
gation. Throughout tho day there seemed
to be a growing tendency of giving the
presidency to some western woman, and
Mrs. Towner of Corning has grown in
favor, although Mrs. Dcemer still has a
strong following.
I'rrttr n m of I'olltlcn.
Thero was a pretty gamo of politics
throughout this Interesting feature ot tho
session, and desplto tho earnestness with
which tho respective aides entered Into the
contest over tho Informal ballot proposition,
good feeling prevailed. The paramount Itsuo
and the point which brought out the hand
of politics, was the proposed postponement
of the ballot.
Desplto the spirited ballot contest the
convention found time for tho transaction
of a largo volume of othor business and
the program for tho day Included many
good features, even though there was
come expression of dissatisfaction on ac
count of tho encroachment mado upon tlmo
set apart tor the press women,
The chair called for Mrs. Draper Smith of
Omaha, president of the Nebraska federa
tion, but she was not present. Mr!. Hello
M. Stoutenboroi.gh of Plattamouth was then
cnlled to tho platform and spoko briefly of
her club association In Iowa clubs and of
the rocently si-cured library commission of
Nebraska.
RcDortB of the federation delegates to the
Milwaukee biennial wero then heard, Mrs.
Q. F. Van Vechten of Cedar Haplds, speak
ing ot the household economics session. She
ccncludcd with recommending that domes
tic science be introduced In public schools,
Mlts I.cona Miller of Oakaloosa reported on
the work of libraries.
Mm. Towner then reported tho work of
tho stnto federation art commission and
nlso of the vork of libraries.
Village improvement was next taken up,
tho standing committee report being given
by Its chairman, Mrs. Maria C. Bltts of
noone, who spoko of tho success of th
work. A ten-minute discussion followed,
participated In by many.
The nerds of n compulsory education law
In Iowa were set forth In a clear and ex
ceptionally strong paper talk by Miss Buff
man of Jefferson.
NprnkH of Womuu lti-iurler.
Mrs. Martha P. Johnson ot Ottumwa pre
sided during the program. Mrs. Johnson
said 'that as presiding officer she had no
speech to mako, but briefly she called at
tention to the lato hour Indicated by tho
cluck and expressed regret that the Iowa
federation should "snub" the press women
to whom It owed so much ot Its success,
and that tho program of tho press women
should bo crowded but because ot politics.
She then Introduced the first speaker, MUs
Mary K. O'Donnell of the Council Bluffs
Nonparlel, who Bpoko ot tho woman re
porter and somo of the things she learned
from her work.
"Aut Ccaser Aut Nullls" was the subject
of a most Interesting talk by Mrs. Allan
Dawson of Des Moines, who traced tho
origin of women's pages and women's col
umns to that department of the Spectator
In which Mr. Addlnon descended to the
"piano of woman's understanding," and de
voted ionic space to tho things supposed to
be of InVireat to her. Mrs. Dawson said
In conclusion, "Do you not think that tho
editor o(. a certain popular woman's paper,
published in Philadelphia. Is a worthy suc
cessor to Addison?"
"The Women on the Country Nnw
psper," was the subject ot a good
wholeaomo talk by Miss Jennie O.
Kleth of Cambridge, In which sho enlight
ened tho women considerably regarding the
country newspaper nnd Its real usefulness.
Miss llcrtba Damarls Knobo ot Chicago,
so well known to clubwomen nil over the
land as a writer ot magazine articles, and
an nctlve newspaper woman, was then In
troduced, and tho women wero trentcd to a
talk based upon experience, In which many
of them wero enlightened regarding tho
woman reporter that "does' woman's work,
and along some lines regarding thcmoolvcs.
Perhaps no session of tho convention was
more generally enjoyed or more helpful to
all, owing to tho prominent place that the
press women have coma to nil In the
woman's club movement.
Tho tlmo allowed for the afternoon ses
sion being up, It was decided to postpone
tho "Hour with the Birds" until this morn
ing, and tho motor cars having arrived tho
entire party was taken to Falrmount park
for a drive.

The continued absence from the city of
Dr. Alvia Sholton, n physician, Is exciting
comment. The doctor, who has an exten

any wnrnlng or explanations to anyone, In
company with his llttlo daughter Traverse,
left the city. Six weeks or more have
passed and tho rayBtcry of his disappear
ance remains unsolved. His relatives and
Intimate friends arc powerless to make
any satisfactory explanations. It was be
lieved for awhile that ho waa confined In
a hospital In St. Louis with smallpox, but
this theory was llnally proved to be wrong.
Somo sny he Is In Florida, others that ho
Is In California, while the general public
think ho never means to return. His wlfo

DES MOINES, la., May 2. (Special.)
Minister Conger rested at homo today, but
received many callors trom among hti
friends. Ho confined his statements to a
reiteration of what he has said with regard
to the political campaign In Iowa. Tho Des
Moines people who went to Council Bluffs
to meet Conger wero delighted with the
trip and express themselves as well satis
tied with tho success ot their welcoming
plans. The program for tomorrow remains
unchanged the public reception at 2
o'clock p. m. In the Auditorium and tho
reception by the women in the even
ing at the Mate capltol, to both of which the
people of Iowa ore Invited.
The existence of some friction was dis
closed today by the complaint of persons
connected with tho Grand Army of the Re
public department of Iowa, that the de
partment bad been entirely neglected.
Colonel M. 11. Davis of Sioux City was here
the foro part of tho week, and neither ho
nor nny olllcet of tho Department of Iowa
was Invited to be of tho welcoming party,
nor did tho department have nny part In
arranging the preliminaries. In view of the
fact that Conger Is an old soldier this Is
regarded by many of them as a slight, but
by others as an oversight.
State Mrdlcnl Society.
The old factional troubles tu tho State
Medical society will be given another air
ing at tho seml-ccntonnlal meeting of tho
society In Davenport beginning May IB. Thu
factions have come to be known ns tho
Priestley faction and the Macrae faction,
trom two conspicuous doctors who have
been Identified with them, ono of this city
and the other of Council Bluffs. Tho state
ment has been made that the Prlestloy tac
tion will pormlt tho Macrae faction to elect
tbo otriccrs this year and this may liavo
the effect ot softening the factional feeling.
This factional trouble Is aupp;scd to have
been primarily responsible for the refusal
ot the Atlantic mllltla company to organize
and go Into tho National guard rather than
pormlt n doctor nomed by Priestley to ex
amine them for physical defects. Tho pro
gram for the state meeting Is a good one.
The first day will be devoted to business,
reports of commlttcos nnd naming commit
tees. The president's address will also be
delivered. Professional discussions will
follow and an unusually fine lino of papers
has been prepared for the occasion.

IOWA CITV, Ia May 2.-(Spcclal.)-Tho
examination given tho graduates of the
medical school of tho University of Iowa
Immediately after their graduation on April
2 and 3, Is pronounced a fnrco by member
of tho taculty and of the clius. The ex
amination wns Iho second given to univer
sity graduates under tho law passed by tho
Twenty-eighth general assembly of tho
stato of town.
Tho Board of Medical Examiners consists
of ten members. The law reads "Tho
Stato Board of Medical Examiners shall
cxnmlne tho graudates of the medical de
partment of the State University of Iowa
and of such other medical colleges In the
stato as are recognized by the i,ald Board
of Medical Examiners as being In good and
legal standing nt the annual commencement
nnd at the location ot raid State University
and other medical colleges respectively "
At the examination given nt Iowa City, the
secretary of the board only wau present to
gtvu the examination and to tuko trom
tho class of over fifty members the M0
apiece, which Is tho feo for the examina
tion. When Dr. Kennedy left the city he
had over $500 with which to Investigate thu
differences between smallpox and Cuban
Itch nnd to publish the Journul ot the
Board of Health.
TiilnU the Rate In Too IIIuli.
People about tho medical college feel that
the rato of payment for the prlvllcgo of the
presence of tho secretary of the state board
In tho city was high. Tho qliestlous which
he gavo tho medical students nro remarka
ble for the Important questions omitted
nnd for thu easy ones proposed. Said a pro
fessor lu thu medical college; "Any man
with the physiology taught litm In tho High
school or with n slight smattering of ele
mentary Latin could make a good stab at
almost nny of tho questloi-s. One of tne
questions In anatomy, for Instance, la 'What
aro canallcnll? What wouId.you suy they
were?" ho uskod of n collegiate Btudent
who abhorred mcdlca and scientific studios.
" 'Little canals?' Correct. That Is tho way
tho questions run. Occasionally there aro
somo questions Inserted for the purpose of
catching tho studcntB, hut the questions aa
a wholo nro many times easier than thu
faculty questions." Somo of the questions
propounded by Secretary Kennedy were
"Namo ncd locate the divisions of tho
aorta; locate and dcscrlbo tho crystalline
lens? What do you understand by meta
bolism? What do you understand by fatty
degeneration? Name thrco emetic drugs
and their doses; What are tho functions of
thu puncrc.itlc Juice? Namo nnd dcscrlbo
thu valves of the lft side of tho heart, ex
plaining their office nnd how they act,
What Is ganglion? Namo the principal se
cretions of the body; How would you man
ago a case of overdose of opium?"
"It would bo lnternatlng," said .1 mcdicnl
student who took the examination, "to see
It nn nvoragc grammar school class lu
physiology could not pass the examination.
If tho state board is to examine us, why
don't they give us tho worth of our money?
And If the examination isn't necessary ex
cept as a matter of form, such ns tho
quiz Dr. Kennedy gavo us, what Is tho
reason for taxing us $10 for It?"
Tho medical fctudpnts last year made nn
appeal to tho general assembly to bo
granted permits to practice in the state
upon receiving their diplomas from tho
Stnto university. They argued that tha
faculty of tho Stato university were stnto
officers and that tho stato kept up the
standard of its medical college so well thjit
an examination by tho Btatc board wns un
necessary, a needless drain on tho pockets
of tho graduntcs. Their appeal failed, but
the examination given by tho secretary cf
tho board shows how well founded wero
their contentions as to the uselessiipss of
Its examination. A professor In tho uni
versity said that he thought such 11 courte
would bo nil right. "Thero nro no colleges
which make a specialty of hurrying men
through." ho said, "Tho fucultles of all
tho medical schools In the stnto look nfter
tho matter of the worthiness of tholr
graduateo to practice medicine much better
than the state board looks Into the fitness
of those who npply for permits to practice."
U Is probablo that tho next general assem
bly will boo petition for exemption of grad
uates of recognized mcdicnl schools frcm
tho examinations of the State Board of
Medical Examiners, or, In enso this falls, n
petition for reduction of tho fen of tho
ntate board, If tho fee wero reduced to
$5 whon the medical board gives tho ex
amination nt the location of tho mcdicnl
school the board would still carry away
$250 from tho University of Iowa, n fair
compensation for the amount of work done.
Whnt Mecretnry Kennedy Siih.
DES MOINES. May 2. (Special.) Sec
retary Kennedy of tbo State Board of Med
ical Examiners when asked In regard to
a complaint coming from Iown City In r?
gard to the recent examination by the
utato board of tho graduates of the State
Medical college, said ho had nothing o
say. Tho criticism passed upon him Bhould
have been directed' to tho law and tho en
tire board nnd not to him personally. "Up
to few ycnri, ago," said Dr. Kennedy,
under pressure, "It was legal to admit
graduate!) of colleges on diplomas and not
by examination. This was the custom es
tablished whon tho medical practice act
was established. Tho codo of 1S97 provided
that all persons entitled to pnictlca medi
cine In Iowa must undergo nxamlnntlon by
the stato hoard. The twenty-eighth gen
eral rib&cmbly passed n law requiring that
tho state board shall mako examinations
of tho graduates of the colleges In Iown--all
of tho medical colleges and not of th"
Stnto university alone and fixed tho fee for
a certificate to theso graduates nt $10. It
Is customarv In most states to charge $21
for this examination nnd certificate, in
New Jersey It tostB $50.
"In the state of Washington the feo Is
$100. Tho board makes tho cxnmlnatl:n,
not tho secretary. Tho questions nro pre
pared by thu board nnd examined by the
bonrd and marked In accordance with th
Judgment or the entire board. The secre
tary does nothing moro than (onduct tho
examination nnd bring tho papers to I lie
offlco of the board for the Inspection of
the merabors. ExnmlnalloiiB wero crn

The barrels in which
