RAILROADS TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW State Superintendent Barrett Makes Some Haling! on the Compulsory Kdoeatlon Law Iowa Vet erans Start. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 4. (Special.) The prospect of a legal battle over the books of a fraternal insurance company was probably headed off by the quick action of Des Moines members of the Fraternal Chop pers of America in carting off the books of the order at night time. A convention of this new order was held In Boone this week and the question of relocating head quarters brought up. When the order was organized Boone was made headquarters with the understanding that It would be permanent. The incorporation articles of the company were so prepared. This week the lodge ordered the removal to Des Moines. When the people of Boone found this out they were mad about It and set on foot a movement to prevent removal. They filed notice of an application In court for an Injunction to restrain the removal, but when the officer went' to the offices occupied by' the secretary he found Ihe office vacant and the books all gone. They had been quietly removed during the night after the lodge had directed removal, and were brought to Des Moines. The head consul, H. A. Miller, lives here, and the head clerk, A. F. Tlllson, came to Des Moines today to take charge. The Injunc tion has not been issued and will not be until the books are located. The Boone people threaten to go Into court and have an Investigation of the whole matter, or they will cause trouble In the order. Railroad Statistics i Coming;. Commissioner E. D. Brlgham of the Iowa Labor bureau has Just returned from a week In" Chicago, where he called upon the railroad managers and accountants with reference to their refusal to furnish sta tistical Information regarding their em ployes In Iowa in accordance with the Iowa law. 8ome of the companies have fur nished the Information, but others have refused. The larger companies claimed it would be impossible for them to get the Information desired. Mr. Brlgham, after consultation with the accountants, secured virtually a pledge that the companies would furnish the statistical Information desired. He proposes embodying In the Iowa re ports, for the first time, complete statis tical information as to the number of em ployes, their hours of labor, wages and total wages paid, at all the various rail road centers In the state. It Is a new de parture tor the Iowa bureau. Compulsory Law and Vaccination. State Superintendent Barrett has ruled. In reply to an inquiry, that there Is no conflict between the law for compulsory attendance at school In Iowa and ths regu lations of school boards for compulsory vaccination. Ha holds that the boards may - continue to enforce the vaccination orders, , because there- Is an alternative In the school law, by. which the pupil may be sent to a private or parochial school or be given private Instruction. Therefore, If persons have conscientious scruples about vaccination and refuse to permit their chil dren to be vaccinated, this does not relieve them from the requirement that the chil dren must attend school for twelve con secutive weeks. Neither does the new law repeal the authority of the school teachers or officers to expel pupils from school for cause, and such expulsion does not relieve the pupil of responsibility for non-attend ance. Sent to Inebriate Ward. A. I. Johnson, who has been for several years in the employment of the state as a taxidermist and in charge of the state museum in connection with the state his torical department, was today adjudged an Inebriate in district court and sent to the state hospital at Mount Pleasant for treat ment. Mr. Johnson had been a popular and efficient employe of the state and It waa not known generally that he had bad trouble. The Information waa filed against htm by his wife.
