BOARD IS READY FOR BIDS
Contracts to Be Let for Temporary Struc
tures at School for Deaf.
SOME CHANGES MADE FROM FIRST PLANS
Brick Bolldlna Jfow In lae te Be Con
verted Into Dormitories and Slew
Structures t'aed for School
noons.
Hon. John Cownle and Judge Klnne, of
the state board of control, will this after
moon at the Iowa School for the Deaf, open
the blda for the construction of the tem
porary buildings decided upon and which
will take the place of those recently de
stroyed by fire until such time as the leg
islature meeta and makes an appropriation
for replacing them with permanent struc
tures. Mr. Cownle arrived In the city last
evening and Judge Klnne will be there this
morning.
The atate executive council haa approp
riated $25,000 out of the "providential
fund" for the erection of these temporary
buildings at the School for the Deaf and In
order to keep the expenditure within thla
amount the plans have been changed from
what was decided by the board of control
at Its meeting the day following the fire. It
Is proposed to use the large brick achool
house as a dormitory for the girls and the
women teachera and the brick building used
as the industrial school to be converted Into
a dormitory for the boya and the male
teachers. This arrangement. It Is believed,
will be the safest and most practical.' By
so doing the dormitories will be In substan
tial brick buildings, practically flre proof
and easily heated during the winter. The
present gymnasium will be utilized as a
chapel and, if found neceesary, as an ad
ditional school room. With this arrange
ment the only new buildings now necessary
will be a school house, a dining room,
study rooms and quarter for some of the
faculty. These temporary buildings, it is
expected, can be easily completed during
the summer vacation, so that everything
may be in readiness when the achool re
opens in October.
Mr. Cownle and Judge Klnne will remain
In the city to attend the commencement ex
ercises of the institute this evening In the
High school audlorlum when Judge Klnne
will present the diplomas to the graduate.

DES MOINES. June 19. (Special.) The
announcement In the Dally Register this
morning that It had been sold by R. P.
Clarkion to George E. Roberts, director of
the mint, came as only a partial surprise,
for rumors ot the pending negotiations had
been rife some time. Nothing ia known
of the price except that in the negotiation
which preceded the amount considered was
between $125,000 and $150,000, which in
cludes real estate and the building. Mr.
Roberts Is In Washington and his plans are
cot known. It Is believed, however that
he will immediately resign hi position as
director of the mint and come to Des Moines
to take personal charge. Various rumor
are current aa to who Is backing him In
tbe enterprise, but the best belief la that
he is acting Independently and there is no
political significance to the new deal. Mr.
Roberts has stood very close to the mem
ber of the Iowa delegation at Washing
ton and at the same time he has been
friendly to all tbe factions or the party in
Iowa, and has not antagonized anybody.
He has recently declined an offer of a
salary of $15,000 a year to be manager of
a financial concern in New York. He
owns the Daily Messenger at Fort Dodge
and has been planning to build a new
brick block for it. He has long been tho
particular friend of Senator Dolllver in pol
itics. R. P. Clarkson, who retires, ha
been in poor health some year and it Is
understood he will be tendered tbe position
of pension agent for the Iowa-Nebraska
district here, and his two son who have
been associated with him, will retire and
go into other business.
