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

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.

there are still some who refuse to believe
that be Is In the wrong. He will enter
some line of trade, be writes to friends, as
his doings have followed him to his new lo
cation and would Interfere wltn successful
