CONTINUE SCHOOL FOR DEAF
State Board of Control Sets at Best All
Doubts on that Point
TEMPORARY BUILDINGS TO BC ERECTED
(irailiiollnx (lass anil Larger Pupils
to .'It e main to t lose of Present
Term and the Little Ones
to lie Sent Home.
The emphatic statement of Judge Klnne
and Hon. John Cownle of the State Board
of Control Saturday that the Iowa School
for the Deaf would be continued at Us
present location as If nothing bad hap
pened dispelled the alarm felt in this city
that the great loss by Are Friday might
result in the institution being removed
to another part of the state. Arrange
ments are already being made for con
tinuing the school until the close ot tho
school year on June 30, and the board de clared
in positive terms yesterday that
everything would be In readiness when the
Dew year opened on October 1 to receive
all the deaf and dumb children of the state
at the Institute as heretofore.
Judge Kinne and Hon. John Cownle of
the Board of Control, accompanied by H.
F. Llbbe, state architect, arrived In the
city yesterday noon and after partaking of
luncheon were at once driven out to the
school by Superintendent Hothert. Repre
sentative J. II. Jcnks came In with them
from Avoca, and with State Senator A. 9.
Hazelton of this city accompanied the party
to the institute.
After examining the ruins of the burned
buildings and consulting with Architect
Llbbe and Superintendent Rothert the
board made this statement:
"The school will be continued right here
as if nothing had happened until the close
of the school year on June 30, and we
expect to have everything In readiness to
receive all the deaf and dumb of the Btate
of Iowa eligible to be educated at this
Institution by the opening of the new
school year on October 1. This statement
is made by the board with all emphasis
possible. We have authorized Superintend
ent Rothert to make the necessary repairs
In the kitchen and to convert the present
laundry building Into a temporary dining
room, also to have established at once all
tho necessary toilet rooms. Bids for the
wrecking of the burned buildings will be
advertised for at once, as we deem It neces
Bary to raze the walls to the second story,
at least, as soon as possible, they evi
dently being unsafe.
"We expect to keep the school open until
June 30, retaining the members of tho
graduating class and the elder pupils. The
smaller children will be sent to their
homes as soon as transportation can be
arranged for and their parents notified.
This will probably taka ree o four days.
We expect to retain about 100 pupils in
the school until the close of the school
year, as this number can be easily accom
modated and provided tor.
Money for Emerneney.
"The board will go beforo the executive
committee Monday and ask Its assistance.
We hope to secure what money is available
in the providential fund, as It Is known.
to erect temporary buildings with. Our
plan Is to eicct substantial frame buildings
of one story in height for dormitories
for the pupils, which can be readily lighted
and heated by the institute plants, an
these will suffice until the buildings de
stroyed by fire can be replaced by modern,
up-to-date, fireproof buildings. How soon
this can be accomplished we cannot at this
time state or even predict. The convening
of a special session of the legislature to
provido an appropriation for this purpose
rests with tho governor. The next session
cf the legislature will not be held until
January, 1U04. but we believe that the tem
porary fundings will Bufflce until then.
In any event, supposing the board had the
money to at once commence rebuilding. It
would be nearly two years before the work
of constructing such buildings as the board
proposes to erect here could be completed.
"We are determined that the school shall
go on uninterruptedly, as far as possible,
and measures have already been taken to
secure bedsteads aud bedding, and all the
necessary supplies to keep the institution
going. Fortunately the board had con
tracted for a large number of bedsteads for
the hospitals at Cherokee, which are not
needed yet, and they can be Bhipped to
Council Bluffs at once. The same applies
to mattresses. Steps will be taken at once
to supply the pupils with needed clothing."
Judge Klnne and Mr. Cownle spoke in the
highest terms of praise of the teachers
and officers of the Institution, who aban
doned all efforts to save their own belong
ings and Instead did everything In their
. . .1 V f 1 -B . Ik-
power tO assist tne cniiurcu irum .
I building and then aided in raving the ef
fects of the pupils and fighting the flames.
They said their Investigations showed that
the teachers and officers had lost all of
their personal effects and that they favored
reimbursement for their losses by the state,
but this was a matter over which they had
no control, but would have to be done by
act of the legislature.
Nn Contracts with Teachers.
The board before leaving the Institute
last evening authorized Superintendent
Rothert to make the contracts with the
teachers for the next year the same as If
the disaster had sot occurred.
Judge Klnne, Mr. Cownle and Architect
IJhbe returned to Des Moines last evening.
Mr. Libbe, the state architect, said the
burned buildings would be replaced by
modern, up-to-date structures on an en
tirely different plan. While the buildings
destroyed were north about JS.'iO.OoO, he
said that probably J3T.0.000 to (400,000 would
be the cost of the new ones. He said "tlie
Board of Control and the state generally
have entered on a policy of erecting noth
ing but fire-proof buildings and such build
ings as are contemplated to be erected here
will cost 1 3.. 0,000 to $400,000 and possibly
more. The buildings destroyed were old,
poorly constructed and not at all fitted for
the purpose for which they were intended.
Tlicy were brick structures, but all of the
Interior work was wood. Had It been a
tire-proof building It might have been
saved, but it was erected a great many
years ago, betvre the days of fire-proof
buildings."
Nothing remained yesterday morning of
the burued buildings but the bare and
charred walls, portions of which seemsd In
tmmiuent danger of collapsing at any roo-
1 mem. uopes were mreicneq si sate ais-
i tance ail around the rulus to keep the chll-
I dren and othtrs from approaching wlthls

(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. May 11. (Special.) Prep
arations are being made to send a lare
delegation of the Workmen' to the grand
lodge of the Ancient Order of Vnlted Work
men at Council Bluffs next week. The
grand officers will probably leave tomorrow
or Monday for the meeting.
Grand Recorder B. F. Rehkopf of this
city, who keeps the records of the order,
Is prepared to report that there has been a
substantial Increase In membership the
past year and this despite the fact that the
order changed Its system 'of assessments
from the flat rate to the classified plon.
At the grand lodge meeting In Marnhall
town last May the order showed a total
membership In this Btate of 12,094. The
new rate system went Into effect in July
last and there was an Immediate falling off
in membership, but by the close of the year
the membership was back to exactly one
less than at the grand lodge meeting.
Since then nearly 1,000 names have been
added and the report will show about 13,
000 members. The new members In the or
der are generally younger persons and thuj
the character of the order has been Im
proved by the change.
Eight new lodges were organized during
the year. Grand Master Workman Nnrvls
of Muscatine will recommend the adop
tion of the" biennial grand lodge plan In
stead of having a grand lodge meetiug
every year. The grand lodge meetings have
been costing the last ten years an average
of $2,814.84 and there Is now no reaBon
why meetings should be held every year.
He will also recommend a change in thut
the local officers shall be elected for a year
Instead of for six months.
He will also recommend to the grand
lodge the adoption ot the new rule made
by the supreme lodge defining hazardous
occupations and Including therein profes-
1 slonal base ball players, foot ball players,
1 bicycle riders, circus riders, employes In
I powder factories or persoas in charge of
dynamite or nitroglycerine, etc.
The grand lodge has had but little liti
gation on hand the last year, the most im-
portant being a case in which the payment
of a certificate was resisted at Dubuque
because the member had entered the saloon
business. This Is prohibited by the laws
of the order, but inasmuch as his original
statement was not made a part of the cer
tificate, as required by Iowa laws, the
grand lodge was beatea. Another similar
case was settled without suit.
The grand master workman during the
year rendered a number of decisions,
among which 1b one that a doctor of oste
opathy cannot be considered eligible for
the place of medical examiner ot a lodge.
Two disappearance cases have been giv
ing the grand officers some trouble. One la
a case from Sioux City, now la the courts,
where M. H. Dalhy disappeared In 1894
and had not been heard from since by hia
family. They claimed the payment of the
certificate. This was refused and an Inves
tigation showed that he was still alive In
1897. hence under the Iowa law is not yet
to be declared dead.
Another case Is In court In Muscatine
wheru George Furaam went to California In
18f4 and has not been heard from since.
The grand lodge has required that proof
of death be furnished.
Deaf May Stay In Connell ninffs.
Governor -Cummins did not learn of the
loss of the Iowa School tor the Deaf at
Council Bluffs until Saturday. He expressed
himself as extremely sorry that the build
ing bad burned.
"It emphasizes the necessity for the erec
tion of strictly fireproof buildings at all
our state institutions," he declared. "We
must build permanently and for the fu
ture." He could give no estimate as to
what could or would be done.
There is a contingent fund in the con
trol of the executive council, a part of
which may be used for furnishing tem
porary quarters for the School for the Deaf,
but there la no way by which the state can
build the school until after the legislature
again meets. It has been suggested that
the school could be temporarily housed in
the state buildings at Knoxville, which
were erected for a blind institute, but
which are now idle, but they are not large
enough for the purpose, and It is more
generally assumed that temporary quarters
for the school will be found In Council
Bluffs.
None of the state buildings are Insured
and all ot the newer buildings are of fire
proof construction, so that in a few years
there will be little danger of losa from fire.
Three other large state buildings have
burned in the last four years, at Glenwood,
, Ames and Iowa City. Members of the
I Board of Control went to Council Bluffs to
j meet with Superintendent Rothert this
morning.
Mater Works Injunellon Refused.
Judge A. H. McVey Saturday denied
the Injunction sought for in the ease of J.
11 Phillips against the city of Des Moines,
the water company and the city auditor
and city treasurer, to prevent the city's
paying over to the water company the .")0,.
000 which the city agreed to loan to the
company for ten years at 2 per cent Inter
est for the construction of water mains to
the army post. In an exhaustive oplnioa
the court goes Into the details 8f the case
and decides that the city council's agree
ment to loan the fund, and the legislature's
act legalizing such a loan, are not uncon
stitutional for any ot the various reasons
alleged by the plaintiff. I'nder this decision
the city officials are enabled to pay over
the money, and the construction of the
mains to Fort Des MolueB may begin at
once. Only one thing stands In the way as
a possible obstacle to this consummation ot
the purposes of the council In ordering the
loan. The John M. Work Injunction suit,

BROWNELL HALL GYMNASTS
They Show Parents What's Tauaht
In the New Hall at the
School,
Friday evening, May 2, was the occasion
of a gathering of the parents of the pupils
at Hrownell Hall to witness omn work in
physical training In the splendid new gym
nasium. The exercises began with a short march
by the whole school, led by the primary
department, followed by a gymnastic drill
executed by the children's class with pre
cision nnd wideawake attention. Tho chil
dren also demonstrated some elementary
movements on the Swedish apparatus, the
only apparatus of Its kind in Omaha.
In marked contrast to ihJs more formal
aspect of physical training was tho grace
ful little dance, "Irfi l'aplnta," given ex
ceedingly well by a group of young ludles
from the academic department.
After the dance a class of older girls
showed Borne free standing and apparatus
work of a more advanced character.
The interest and excitement of the guests
and the pupils reached a high point at the
basket ball game. The contesting teams
were easily distinguishable by waists of
the respective team colors light blue and
white.
The. game was played according to the
revised rules for women used in the east
ern colleges, which require a division of
the Held Into three equal parts, crosswise,
thus doing away with unnecessary and
aimless running over the ground and af
fording better opportunities for team work.
It was a lively game, though u number
of fouls were made In the llrst half, which
endeil with a score of 6 to 3 In favor of the
Blues. Throughout the game good passing
was done und some prettv goals thrown
the climax being a brilliant one from the
field. When time was called the score was
S to 7 lu favor of tho Whites.

TAFT'S MISSION TO VATICAN
1 Goei to Secure Separation of Church nnd
I State in Philippines.
PURCHASE OF FRIAR LANDS THE SOLUTION
lll l.uirrniir of l-lnmls A 111 Stop
nt Rome on Return to Manila,
Aeconipanied ly Delegates
from Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 11. Governor Taft
today closed up his business here in con
nection with affairs in the Philippines and
left for Cincinnati, where he will attend
to some prlvato busineta prior to his de
parture for Manila. He will slop at Rome
In order to discuss the question of the
friars in the 1 hlllpplties with the authori
ties of the Vatican. He will be accoi.i
parted on his mission to Rome by Judfip
James F. Smith of the supreme court of
tho Philippines and Major John II. Porter of
the Judge advocate geueral's olllce. These
gentlemen were selected because of their
familiarity with the questions at issue.
Secretary Hoot this afternoon made the fol
lowing ofTici.il Btuleuicut lu regard to the.
mission to Home:
It has bun decided that Governor Taft
shall slop nt Home ill tlie course of III.-
return Journey to Manila for the purpose
of reaching. If possible, a friendly under
standing with the authorities having con
trol of the disposition of Hie property of
religious orders and other 1 liurch procrty
In the Philippines and laying Hie basis for
a settlement or the many property ques
tions which line resulted from the sepa
ration of church and state In the islands.
Of course, nothing can actually lie done
until congress has acted, but as the com
mittees of both houses have acted favor
ulily on the ciiinnilsslon's recommendations
for the purchase of fralr lands, it Is
thought best not to lose tlm opportunity
ntTorded by Oovernor Taft s presence in
Europe to hoin the negotiations and make
as much prom, ss as punsiiilc. so that they
may be readily closed up after congress
haa acted, If it does uct favorably.
Purchase of l.nnils.
This Is particularly desirable because the
nature of tho questions Is such that it Is
impossible to settle them bv negotiation
with tho frulrs themselves in the Philip
pines. The purchase of the friars' lands Is
the principal thing and the government
desires to accomplish this If cougfesa au
thorizes it, amicably. ,
There are finally other questions, how
ever, to be Settled, such lis the rlnhts to
property held for purposes of Instruction
and for charitable purposes, and the ri n li t
of tho church to land, the title to which is
now In the government, but on which are
buildings for religious purposes. Some of
these matters could be settled by the
courts, but It would require many years
und It Is very desirable to settle, them In a
speedy and friendly way.
l'rior to American occupation the church
and statu were so closely united and their
Interests so Interwoven that now when
they are separated It is very hard to tell
to whom the property, which was devoted
to their Joint uses under the former sys
tem, belongs It is hoped that when a full
understanding of the claims nnd views of
each Hide lias been reached and the facts
are fully understood all the questions exist
ing can be settled lu such a way as to
benellt both parties.
The object of this conference Is to secure
the separation of church and state, and It
would seem to be a condition precedent to
such a result. Governor Tufts errand is
not In any sens.- a diplomatic mission; it
is simply a business transaction with the
owners of property. The whole matter is
in Governor Tuft's hands, subject to such
action us may be taken on his part as gov
ernor. He will have the assistance of
Judge Smith, who Is returning with Gov
ernor Taft to his post of duty, and Major
John lliudhv Porter has been dcUilod to
act as a special secretary to the governor
until he has finished his work in Rome.
Any arrangement affected for tho pur
chase of the lands is subject to the ratifi
cation of congress, which must provide the
necessary legislation.
YALE DOWNS CALIFORNIANS
r.nstern Athletes Surpass Their West
ern Contestants In Dual Track
Meet.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 11. The dual
track athletic meet Saturday on Yale field
between Yale und California universities
resulted In the score:
Yale, 8 0-6 points; California, 5 1-6 points.
Hy agreement the firsts only scored. In
the track events the Yale track athletes
were superior, but in tlie Held events tlie
advantage was partly with the visitors
because of the skill of I'law, who cap
tured the shot-put and hammer-throw
easily, Spraker was not entered for Yale
In the high or broad jumps. In tlie li it'll
Jump the two C'allfornluns tied with toe
Yule competitor und tlie point was divided,
two-thirds going to California.
In tho mile race Teal of Yalo and Red
will of California ran a deud race nnl
rather than mako them run It off the
judges declared that onu-half point should
count for each team. It was u close and
well run race, under adverse weuther con
ditions. In none of the events were the
men aide to do themselves justice, for a
cold, chilling broeue blew from the north
west across the Held.
Tho half-mile race was well run, Kane
taking the lead for three laps, with Serviss
of California following his pace closely.
Denting of Yale kept himself well in hand
until the turn of the last lap, when he
passed his compclitlora ami closed the gap,
winning from Kanu by u narrow margin
and from Serviss by fifteen feet. The wind
was blowing directly against them on the
spurt, und tho time, 2:4u:', was therefore
good.
Yale's lose of the PO yards dash was a
surprise as Abadla was not expected to
beat either Moultou or Hargrave. Captain
Cadogan, who was not lu good condition,
pressed Ilargrave closely in tho Z- yards
dash, finishing a strong second. Results:
