Attack on Flro Escape Lavvr.
An effort Is being made to have the new
Iowa law requiring fire escapes on all build
ings three stories high declared Invalid
because of alleged Irregularities in Its pass
age. The law I attacked a a part of the
defense in suits for damages aggregating
8300,000 on account of the deaths in the
Clifton house fire In Cedar Rapids last
winter. Senator Dowell of this city, the
author of the law, declares that the law
cannot be successfully attacked on the
ground that It was not passed and that the
record ia clear aa to the manner In which
the law waa passed. At the same time It is
hi plan and that of the state labor com
missioner, In whose hands the enforcement
of the law lies, to secure Important amend
ments to the law. As a result of the law
fire escapes have been placed on hundreds
of buildings In Iowa and In thla city scores
of buildings that were entirely without
protection of this kind have since been sup
plied. The bill waa passed unanimously by
tha legislature.
Strike of th Barbers.
Sixty barber went out on a strike In
Des Moines today in certain union shops
that had not lived up to the scale of wages
as desired. The barbers Insist upon a flat
rate of 813 per week and 60 per cent of all
receipts above 818, but the employers de
sired to limit the 60 per cent to all over
820 each week. Not all the shops in the
district is 6,911. Last year It waa 6,916 and
th year be for It wa t,W0.
The flood are given aa th cause for th
figure being under those of 1901. The flood
in the aprlng of 1901 mads a decrease In
the district In the southeast bottoms and
the flood of the paat aprlng ha kept the
figure down.
MRS. FRAISSENET ON STAND
Testlfle that tapper Tear Ago Wa
th Wedding; Contract with
Parker.
DAVENPORT, la., Sept. 10.-(Speelal
Telegram.) The second day of the trial In
which the son of Paulina Fralsaenet, th
housekeeper for W. Fred Parker, th mil
lionaire artist and traveler, seek to secure
possession of his fortune, wa marked by
several sensational features, the chief of
which waa the testimony given by Mrs.
Fralssenet when she took the witness chair.
Sh testified that th eccentric artist did
not believe In regulation weddings, and that
by agreement between them a supper to
which they Jointly Issued Invitations about
fifteen years ago waa In celebration of their
marriage. The aupper assembled about a
score of their friends at the country home
of Parker at Florence, Neb., where he died
last year. The evidence of several persons
showed that he had acknowledged their two
children as his sons.
Mitchell Chapman of Omaha testified that
Parker one offered him a large sum of
money if he would take Mr. Fralssenet
and th children to Honolulu and "shake
them."
As Parker inherited much of his wealth
under condition that if he died without
lawful Issue it would revert to other relu
Uvea, a hard fight Is being made to show
that the boys who are now claiming his
fortune are not his legitimate children.
