SCRIMMAGE BETWEEN STUDENTS ENSUES Parents snd Friends of the Two tn denta Expelled Inclined to Think the Pnnlshment Too SeTere for the Offense. There ia trouble brewing at the High school again and as tbe result of the ex pulsion of two of Its members Thursday by Principal Ensign the senior class is said to be seriously thinking of walking out unless the two seniors are reinstated. Floyd Fllcklnger and E. E. Spetman suc ceeded at tho noon recess Thursday In hoisting tbe banner ot the senior class to the top of tbe flagpole on the High school building and lor this Principal Ensign' ex pelled them. Following the hoisting of tbe flag a fight ensued In tha corridors of the building between tha aenlor and junior classes, but Fllcklnger and Spetman were not mixed up In It. Parents of tha expelled pupils feel that Principal Ensign waa too hasty and aevera In hla action and sev eral members of tha Board of Education are ot the same opinion. It ia expected that a meeting 'of the board will be held to take some action In tha matter. Fllcklnger and Epetman at the noon re cess Thursday climbed the stairs to the attic of the High school with the Intention of flying their class banner from the flag pole. At the door leading to the roof they found the janitor, who had received aome Inkling of their Intention. He tried to stop them, but the young fellows pushed him aside and gained the roof. The work of hoisting the flag to the pole occupied but a few minutes. In the meantime the janitor had summoned Principal Ensign and he waa waiting for the young fellows when they reached the bottom of the stairs. The janitor hauled the flag down, but Bpet man and Fllcklnger took it away from him. Principal Ensign ordered Fllcklnger and Spetman to go to their classroom, which order they obeyed, and did not take part in the fight which ensued between the seniors and juniora in the corridors. After the disturbance had been quelled Principal Ensign called 8petman and Fllcklnger Into hla office and notified them of their expul sion. Since the appointment of Mr. Ensign as principal there haa been more or less trou ble at the High school. Last summer there was a aeries of dlaturbancea and on one or two occasions Mr. Ensign found It nec essary to call upon the police to assist In keeping order. At the last meeting of the Board of Education Principal Ensign waa re-elected for another year, although at least two of the membera were opposed to continuing him. in charge ot the school, but finally acquiesced in hla- reappoint ment on the recommendation of Superin tendent Clifford. One of the members of tha board said yesterday afternoon that It would not surprise him It soma change might not be made in the management of the High achool before tha opening" ot tbe next achool year.

Tbe law passed by the last legislature giving additional and extraordinary pow era to tba State Board of Health in tbe matter ot enforcing quarantine in case of contagious disease haa been found quite useful already. The law authorises the atate board to take full' Jjharge of local health regulations where the local boards stall or refuse to act. The legislature adopted the law because it was demonstrated that nearly all of tbe trouble over smallpox in Iowa the laat two years had coma from the paralysis of locsl boards, either through the unreasoning demands of business In terests or by reason ot politics. When tbe legislature waa in session smallpox broke out in the state capltol and It waa demonstrated that there waa in the oity of Dea Moines nearly 600 casee, largely due to tbe fact that the local board had refused to do anything The legislature became aroused and passed a most radical law, giving the atate board power and author ity to take hold where contagious dis eases sre neglected locally. In Monroe and Marlon counties communities have been found where smallpox prevails and no at tention bas been paid to the matter and no quarantine even suggested. The state board bas acted under tba new law and ia in charge In both places and haa ap pointed physicians to look after the cases snd enforce quarantine. Under the new law the cost will be charged up to tbe counties and by them to the persons afflicted, and In case of any disagreement on any matter the state board la the arbiter. It la be lieved there will be less of unguarded smallpox in the state hereafter, as the r sult ot thla law. Preparing; for Encampment.

ATTEMPT TO PREVENT TRANSFER FAILS Opponent Fear DerorallasT British Shlpa with Foreln-a Flagr aad Reaard America aa Daa eroas Rival. LONDON, May 2. An attempt waa mads In tbe House of Commons today to get tha government to pledge itself to prevent the transfer of British steamships to a foreign flag pending tha report ot tbe committee recently appointed by tbe admiralty to In quire Into the subject. The government leader, A. J. Balfour, pointed out that a suggestion of auch a startling character could not be carried out without the gravest consideration. It simply amounted to a proposal that tbe British government should prevent a sub ject from selling hia matter to a foreigner. No doubt the matter referred to was very serious, but such a drastic change could not ba undertaken lightly. The government had been privately In formed regarding tba actions ot prlvste In dividuals and It was giving the matter snx lous constderstlon. If It disclosed tbls In formation it would abut tba door to further confidences. Obligation to Navy. Tbe government would be bound to make such arrangement with regard to tha navy as the proposed changea might necessitate, but regarding tbe effect of the comblna tlon on British maritime interests and what should be done to meet It, no an aouncement of its policy could be made except after prolonged and anxious consid eration of the complicated problem. Under the present arrangement tbe sub sidized ships remain In the aervlce of the admiralty for another two years aud the government would ba much blamable If n the Interim it could neither negotiate a continuance ot the existing terms or make others equally serviceable to the admiralty and tbe country. Meanwhile tbe govern ment did not propose on tha spur of tbe moment to announce any departure from the tradltloaal policy of not Interfering with the freedom of commerce. The miolalers would be charlatans if tbey did anything of the kind. It waa necessary to most carefully and thoroughly alft the whole matter from a commercial point of view. It must be remembered that thia was not a commercial enterprise, engineered by a foreign and hostile government, but a trade combination. Bryre Opposes Motion. James Bryce. liberal, former president of the Board ot Trade, advocated the with drawal of the motion to pledge tbe govern ment to the transfer, but urged the gov ernment to make a prompt Inquiry Into tbe subject. Other speakers beld that the ar rangement waa In no ways unpatriotic. It was an alliance, not annexation by Ameri cans. The companies bad simply made a reasonable and bualnesa-llke combination. Sir James Woodbouse,- liberal, disclaimed all antipathy to or Ill-feeling for Ameri cans, but, be asserted, British maritime and mercantile interests were menaced by the Americans, who bad already captured the British shoe and ateel tnduatries, and he wanted the government to take aotton In order to atom the tide. " The remarks of Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, conservative, rather sided with those who thought that tha American Invasion spelled ruin to British ers. Ha said he feared tbe American trust would use this combination to pour Ameri can produce Into tbla country, to tha dis advantage ot the producers here, and that there would be a general disruption of tbe wbole trade and commerce of Great Britain. Lord Beresford advocated subsidizing steamers on the Canadian route. ROOSEVELT MAN OF JUSTICE President Commands Hlnh Trlbnt from French Paper Dlseaa. sing; Smith Case. PARIS, May 2.
