ARRANGING FOR CAMPAIGN Leadtri from All Farts of Ninth Diitriot Attond the Oonfirenc. LOCAL SPEAKERS TO BE USED IN THE MAIN Campaign o Be en Old-Fnsnloned School District Affair In Which Every Community Will Be Reached. The republican campaign in the Ninth congressional district will be opened about October 1 and as Chairman Spence of the state central committee styled It, will be a "school house" campaign. In the several counties comprising the district local speak ers will be employed almost entirely, al though one or more meetings may be ar ranged for in the district for which speak ers of national prominence from other ststes may be secured. This was decided upon at the conference held yesterday afternoon In the office of Chairman George S. Wright of the repub lican county central committee. R. H. Spence of Mount Ayr, chairman of the state central committee presided and every county in the district except Adair was represented. A. F. Dawson of Preston, sec retary to Senator Allison, who Is in charge of the state bureau of speakers and cam paign literature. Congressman Walter I. Smith and National Committeeman Ernest B. Hart were also present. The county chairmen present were: D. C. Mott of Au dubon county, C. L. Campbell of Cass, H. J. Baird of Mills, Ralph Prlngle of Mont gomery, George S. Wright of Pottawattamie and I H. Plckard of Shelby. C. A. Van Scoy, postmaster of Woodbine, represented Harrison county In place of County Chair man H. M. Bostwick, who was unable (o be present. II. U Marshall of Guthrio Cen ter was present In place of County Chair man E. W. Weeks of Guthrie, who wss also unable to be In attendanoe. The meeting was mainly an executive session, at which the situation In the dis trict was discussed and the needs of the several counties In respect to speakers and literature ascertained. Yesterday's confer ence was one of the series which Chairman Spence Is holding In every congressional district in the state. Discuss Henderson's Declination. The action ot Speaker Henderson in de clining the congressional nomination in the Third district was discussed Informally at the conference and the consensus of opinion was that it was a sore blow to Iowa. Chairman Spence and Mr. Dawson attended the conference of the Third dls liict republicans at Waterloo ! 5trrty and at that time there was not the slight est intimation that Colonel Henderson was dissatisfied or thought of declining the nom ination. To both Mr. Spence and Mr. Dawson Speaker Henderson's action comes as the greatest of a surprise. Chairman Spence said: "I attended the conference of the Third district repub licans at Waterloo last Saturday and I found the chairman ot the several counties oomprlslng the district to be most enthus isatlc over the prospects for Colonel Hen derson's re-election In (hat district by an increased majority. Speaker Henderson was present at the conference and entered heartily into the discussion for the cam paign in his district. He gave not the slightest Intimation or hint that he was dissatisfied and that he intended declining the nomination. He even went so far as to arrange for a couple ot rallys to be held soon at which he was to be the principal speaker. The tariff question was not dis cussed in any shape or form at that con ference and Colonel Henderson appeared to be In perfect accord with the several county chairmen ot his district and they with him. I cannot understand the meaning ot bis Tithdrawal." Asked as to what he thought the Third district would do for a candidate in place of Colonel Henderson, Mr. Spence said: "As to what the Third district republicans will iow do for a candidate I cannot say, for thr possibility of any other candidate than Speaker Henderson bad not entered into the mind of anyone. Speaker Henderson's withdrawal places the Third district re publicans In a most peculiar and unfortu nate position. The Third distrlot, however, Is fortunately strongly republican and who ever the republican candidate may be he will undoubtedly represent that district in congress. Colonel Henderson s action is a great blow to the state, as by it Iowa will lose the speakership." Trouble of Pesthowse. In the event . ot another eptdemlo of smallpox this winter the city will be forced to provide a hospital for female patients somewhere within ' the corporate limits. The plan proposed to build an addition to the pest house near Mynster Springs for a female ward cannot be carried out, as the trustees of Garner township have de clined to grant the necessary permission to the city. Residents of Garner township, who never looked favorably on the city's pes' house In their locality, are up In arms against any enlargement of the bulld'na; and numerous remonstrances hive been filer with the township trustees. When Mayr Morgan and City Solicitor Snyder, comprti Ing the special committee appointed by the city council to confer with the Garner township authorities, called upon the true tecs they were met with these remon strances and the information, that the trus tees could not grant the permission sough' by the city In the face ot the protests of the residents and taxpsyers of the town ship. The isolation hospital in Garner town ship is the property of the city and has been established for a number of years. I has been used solely for ths accoraraoda tlon of male patients, and last winter the city wss confronted with the problem o' caring for female smallpox patients. To same problem Is liable to confront the clt" again this winter, and Mayor Morgan la r the opinion that ths only solution will b to build a suitable hospital within the rt'j limits. The city council mar not take the re fusal ct the Garner township trustees t permit sn enlargement of (he p-sthouse a final, but may appeal to the chairman o the State Board of Health, an appeal he Ing provided for under the new law gov ernlng local boards of health. The mat ter will come up for discussion at tb meet ing ot ths Board of Health next Mrnday eight. Mrs. lasavdy Oct Divorce. Judge Macy in the district court yester day granted Mrs. Mamls Z. Casady a dl vorce from James N. Casady, Jr., on statu tory grounds.' Mrs. Casady wss ala awarded the custody ct their children.

Casady, who is under arrest at Burling ten, Kan-, Is expected to reach Council niuffi Friday In custody of Deputy Sheriff Baker. The Indictment under which he was arrested charges him with the embex slement of 2384 33 from the Scottish Vnlon Insurance company during the months of October, November and December, 1901. Casady's arrest at Burlington, Kan., was brought about through the efforts ot the bonding company, which Is said to have been on his trsll ever since he made his sudden departure from Council Bluffs after a former charge of embenlement had been compromised through the efforts of his friends. Mrs. Sophie Jenkins wss granted a di vorce from W. C. Jenkins. Mrs. Augusta Davidson, who alleged that her husband, Lars Peter Davidson, had de serted her and returned to his home In Denmark to live, was awarded $225, being money that Davidson had on deposit In the Officer ft Pusey bank.

Complete reports received by Superin tendent Clifford from all the schools In the city show that the enrollment at the end of the first week of the new school year Is 4,697, as against 4,145 at the close of the first week of last year, a gain ot 552. The enrollment at the close of the first week for this and last year is as follows: 1P02. 1901. High school 445 415 Washington Avenue 8-9 31 Bloomer 520 474 Twentieth Avenue 500 392 Pierce Street 307 336 Third Street 292 254 Eighth Street Stfi 318 Second Avenue 4S0 242 Avenue B 281 239 Thirty-second Street 139 141 Madison Avenue 135 118 Harrison Street 125 84 Eighth Avenue 145 117 Hill S5 85 West Council Bluffs 54 40 Qunn 25 20 Totals 4,61)7 4,145 Eleven schools show Increases in en rollment, while four show losses, and one, the Hill school, the same enrollment as last year. The largest increase Is at the Second avenue school, where the enroll ment this year Is 450 as against 242 last year. The Twentieth avenue school shows an increase of 108. The change of bounda ries to relieve the congested condition at the Washington avenue school accounts for the slight decrease In the enrollment at this building. The decrease in the enroll ment at the Pierce street school is due to the fact that a number of pupils were transferred to other buildings this year. Plumbing and heating. Sixby 6 Son. Matters In Federal Court. Judge Smith McPherson dismissed the federal court petit Jury yesterday morning, aa there were no cases to be tried before it. Except for a few bankruptcy matters the business of this term was completed yesterday. In the suit of the United States against Former Marshal Frank P. Bradley the mo tion on the part of the government to strike out that portion of Bradley's coun ter claim covering services rendered in 1895 as the money that the government sought to recover formed part pf the ap propriation for 1898, was argued and taken under advisement by the court. The gov ernment contended that if Bradley had any claim against the department tor ser vices rendered in 1895 his proper course was to bring suit in the United Ststes court of claims and that he had no authority to retain a portion of the money appropriated by the department for the maintenance of the marshal's office in 1898. The motion on behalf of the petitioning creditors in the bankruptcy case ot Brun ing Brothers of Breda, la., to dismiss the proceedings brought by them was overruled and several firms, among the number being five or six implement firms of this city, were permitted to intervene. Charles Mapes of Stuart, la.. Indicted In Dea Moines for bootlegging and whose case was transferred here, entered a plea of guilty. He was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail and to pay a fine of )200, the mittimus not to be Issued until further orders from the court. Notice Subscribers.

The State Board ot Control has granted permission for the band of the State In dustrlsl school at Eldora to go to Sioux City and play for the Elks' carnival, the Sioux City people to stand the expense.

"With the lapse of time these Just pre scriptions have been rendered nugatory in part as regards the native Jews by the legislation and municipal regulations of Roumanla. Premise Is Wrong. "Starting from the arbitrary and rnntrn. vertlble premise that the native Jews ot tioumsnia, domiciled there for centuries, are 'aliens, not subject to foreign protec- ion,- the ability or the Jew to earn even lie scsnty means of subsistence that nf. flee for a frugal race has been ronatrieteit by degrees until nearly every opportunity to win a livelihood Is denied and until the helpless poverty of the Jew has constrained an exodus of such proportions aa to cause general concern. "The political disabilities of the Jewa r Roumanla, their exclusion from the nuhli service and the learned professions, the limitations of their civil rights and the mposition upon them of exceptional taxes Involving as they do wrongs repugnant to the moral sense of liberal modern peoples, are not so directly in point for my present purpose as the Public, acts which attack in. herent right of man as a bread winner in the wsys of sgrlculture and trade. The Jews are prohibited from ownlne land nr even from cultivating it as common labor ers. They are debarred from residing in the rural districts. What They Suffer. "Many branches ot petty trade and man ual production are closed to them In the overcrowded cities where they are forced to dwell and engage, agalnat fearful odds. In the desperate struggle tor exlstsnce. Even as ordtnary artisans or hired laborers thsy may only find employment In the pro portion of one 'unprotected alien' to two Roumanians' under any one employer. In short, by the cumulative effect ot succes sive restrictions the Jews of Roumanla have become reduced to a state of wretched misery. Shut out from nearly every ave nue of self-support which Is open to ths poor of other lands and ground down by poverty as the natural result ot their die crlminary treatment, they are rendered in capable of lifting themselves from enforced degradation. "Even were the fields ot education, civil employment and commerce open to them as 'Roumanian citizens,' their penury would prevent them from rising beyond Individual effort. Emigration a Natural Result. "Human beings so circumstanced have virtually no alternative but submissive suffering or flight to some land less un favorable to them. Removal under such conditions is not and cannot be the healthy, intelligent emigration of a free and aelf-rellant being. It must be. In most cases, the mere transplantation ot an artificially produced, diseased growth to a new place. . 'Granting that in better and more health ful surroundings the morbid conditions will eventually change for good, such emigra tion Is necessarily for a time a burden to the community upon which the fugitives may be cast. Self-reliance and the knowl edge and ability that evolve the power ot self-support must be developed and at the same time avenues of employment must he opened In quarters where competition la already keen and opportunltlea scarce. The teachings of history and the expe rience of our own nation show that the Jews possess. In a high (degree, the mental and moral quallflcatlona of conscientious cltlxenhood. No clsss of Immigrants la more welcome to our shores when coming equipped in mind and body for entrance upon the struggle for bread and Inspired with the high purposs to give the best service of heart and brain to the land they adopt ot their own free will. But when they come as outcasts, made doubly paupers by physical and moral oppression in their native land, and thrown upon the long-suffering generosity ot a more' fa vored community, their migration lacks the essential conditions which make alien im migration either acceptable or beneficial.

America Is their only goal. Right of Remonstrance. 'The United States offers asylum to the oppressed ef all lands, but Its sympathy with them in nowise impairs its Just lib erty and right to weigh the acts ot the op pressor la the light ot their effects upon this country and to Judge accordingly. Put ting together the facts now painfully brought home this government during thai past few years that many of the inhabi tants ot Roumanla are being forced by ar tificially adverse discriminations to quit their native countries; that the hospitable asylum offered by this country is almost the only refuge left' to them; that they come hither unfitted by the conditions of their exit to take part In the new life of this land under circumstances either profit able to themselves or beneficial to the com munity, and that they are objects of char ity from the outset and for a long time the right of remonstrance against the acta of the Roumanian government is dearly established in favor of this government. Whether oonsciously and of purpose or not, these helpless people, burned and spurned by their native land, are forced by the sov ereign power of Roumanla upon the charity of the United States. This government can not be a tacit party to auch aa interna tional wrong. It is constrained to protest against the treatment to which the Jews ot Roumsnla are subjected, not alone be cause it baa unimpeachable ground to re monstrate against the resultant Injury to Itself, but la the name ot humanity." How Vncle Sana Is Interested. "The United Statee may not authorita tively appeal to the stipulations of the treaty ot Berlin, for which It waa not and cannot become a signatory, but It does ear nestly appeal to the principles consigned therein, because they are the principles ot intsrnatlonal law and eternal Justice, ad vocating the broad toleration which that solemn compact snjolns and standing ready to lend its moral support to ths fulfillment thereof by Its co-signatories, for the act ot Roumanla Itself has effectively Joined the United Ststes to them as an Interested party In this regsrd.

GOVERNOR CUMMINS CONCURS IN RULING For the Seat Legislature to Ennet Laws to Head OS This Sew De vice for the Watering of Stocks. (From a Staff Correspondent.) nir.s MOINES. Sept. 17.- Special Tele gram.) The opinion of AU-rney General Mullan In the matter of the consolidation of the Rock Island properties was filed to dsy and with It Governor Cummins filed his concurrence in tne conclusions. i governor set on toot the investigation as to the legality ot the consolidation under an Iowa charter and tne inquiry as w whether or not it could not be prevented as being against public policy. He filed the facts of the organization of the Iowa company and the New Jersey companies before the attorney general and asked tor a legal opinion as to whether the new Rock Island company ot Iowa Is a law fully organized corporation and whether the transaction descrtbed can be arrested at the instance ot the etate, or stating the in quiry in its broadest terms: "Is there any remedy under our laws for so grave an oi fense against public policy?" The attorney general's opinion Is ex haustive and he reacher the conclusion that the transaction is entirely legal in every phase under the Iowa laws; that there Is nothing in the Iowa laws to pre vent the purchase of the stock of one rail road company by another, provided they are not parallel and competing, and nothing preventing the classification ot stock In the manner done by the Rock Island reorgan izes. There Is nothing to prevent the is sue ot stock of a face value far beyond the actual value of the property purchased. The attorney general says he finds noth ing done In violation of the policy of the state as indicated by the acts of the leg islature and decisions of the courts and no proceedings on behalf of the state to arrest the reorganizing can be maintained under the laws as they exist. Governor Cummins files his concurrence In this view and adds: "The thing done Is neither a merger nor a consolidation. Not a mile of track nor a dollar in value Is added to the Rock Island property. It Is simply a new device for watering securi ties. It is for the next genersl assembly to say whether it Is wise to permit our laws to so remain that such things ace possible." fVew Missouri Pacific Feeder. ST. LOUIS.

Regard ing reports that bis mission had been a failure, he said: I was unable to aeeompUsti anything in Washington th other day simply because Acting Secretary of State Adee needed to consult the president in order to get au thority to begin negotiations.
