Member Bender of the committee does not agree with his conferees on the committee arid will rec ommend that a fee of only 84 per cent be paid. Trustee Bender takes the stand that there are plenty of good architects who would be willing to furnish the plans and superintend the construction of the build lng for this remuneration. It Is said that the board Is unanimous In Its decision to employ In addition to tha architects a competent superintendent of construction, and this being the case, Trus tee Bender is opposed to paying Patton A Miller, the Chicago firm, S per cent for drawing the plans and Wood Bros., the local firm of architects, 3 per cent for arch itectural supervision. In addition to paying a third person for supervising the construc tion. Considerable publlo interest has been aroused In the matter and It is expected the board will have a large audience present at Its meeting Thursday night.

CONVENTION TO APPEAR AT HEARING Director Says Cre Report Points a Pleasing; Pletnre of the Prosaeet for Cora In the Hawk eye State. (From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOINES, Sept.' 21. Special.) Something decidedly unique in the way of a contest before an election board is to be held In the state capttol tomorrow. Practically an entire representative district convention will be on hand to tell the state officers Just what happened when they succeeded in making two nominations, both of which are questioned. The formal notices of objections have been filed with the secretary of stats In the Emmet-Dlcklnson county contest and the hearing will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The Dickinson county protest against the recognition of B. F. Robinson as the regular nominee was filed this morning. It Is prepared by L. E. Francis. It sets forth that on the day of the con vention at 2:50 p. m. the convention was called by J. A. Flnlayson, member of the committee, who, without authority, called F. C. Williams to the chair; that Dr. Reo tor of Dickinson was placed In nomination for secretary, but the Dickinson delega tion voted no, yet he was declared selects J; that the chairman refused to permit a roll call, that Dickinson county did not recog nise the regularity of the organization at any time, that there was an agreement to take a recess until 4 p. m., that the Dick inson county people made an agreement with Frank Wood that he would vote to recognize the Dickinson delegation the same as If all members were present, that during the recess the Emmet delegation proceeded to a nomination, that Wood after consultation refused to carry out his agree ment and that afterwards the convention was organized with E, E. Holdrege as chairman and Dr. Rector aa secretary and Dr. Q. C. Fuller was nominated. The Em met protest is signed by N. J. Lee and re cites that the convention was regular in every way which nominated B. F. Robin son and that the convention which nom inated Fuller was never calle 1 nor waa it regular. It is learned that an effort will be made to have the entire membership of the con vention present, the seven delegates from Emmet and the five from Dickinson, and they will personally explain the whole thing to the state board. Socialists File Ticket. The first complete state ticket to be filed with the state election board waa placed in the hands of Secretary of State Martin this morning by' Attorney J. M. Work of this olty. It is the socialist ticket, which was nominated at a regular convention, but because the party has never become strong enough to come in aa a legal party the nomination of the ticket to the state board was made by petition. The petition was signed by socialists of Des Moinea alone, but in sufficient numbers to entitle it to a place on the ticket. The candidates on the socialist ticket are as follows, as shown' by this certificate! Governor, John M. Work, Des Moines; lieutenant governor, A. K. Glfford, Davenport Judge of the su preme court, I. S. McCrkllls, Des Moines; superintendent of publlo Instruction, Flor ence A. Brown, Delta; railroad commis sioner, Oakley Wood, Lake City. Crop Prospects Bright. Director Sage's weekly crop report to be Issued tomorrow will contain some highly Interesting and encouraging news. The di rector is of the opinion that with the char acter of weather we have been having for a few days the corn will mature In two weeks so that the heaviest frost will not affect it. The general opinion of grain men In Des Moines and throughout Iowa Is that the bulk of the corn crop is now safe. Had killing frost visited this locality last week, when it was momentarily expected. nothing would have saved the vegetation The cold weather, however, aided in cur ing the corn so that the present weather is maturing rapidly. ftrand Jnry Investigators.

GETS A CHANGE OF VENUE Two Vnexpeeted Keatarrs Mark Opening of Trial of Former Depot y Marshal. PES MOINES, Sept. 11. Two unex pected features marked the opening of the trial of Deputy United States Marshal Richards, charged with highway robbery at Indlanola today. The defense renewed its motion for a change of venue on the ground that the court was prejudiced, having declared when he sentenced Frank Balrd for participa ting in the robbery of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sullivan, at Hamilton, last New Tear's day, that Richards was the moving spirit In the crime. Notwithstanding he had previously over ruled this motion, Judge Gamble granted It this morning and Judge Applegate accord ingly succeeds him. The formal opening of the case begins tomorrow morning. Another surprise was sprung by the state In the person of Convict Balrd, who was brought back from the penitentiary for the purpose of turning state's evidence.

The Janitors at Second avenue and Avenue B were permitted to change places. An echo of the old controversy over the high school location was heard when the bill of City Engineer Btnyre for $25 for pre paring a profile of the Oakland avenue site was presented and allowed. The Janitor appointed for the Courtland school at Cut-Off failed to qualify and the teachers having expressed a willingness to do the work the board decided to allow them the Janitor's salary of $10 a month. Treasurer Davis' annual report was re ceived and approved. Secretary Roes stated he was unable to present the school census report owing to the fact that the work of securing It had been delayed by the flood conditions exist ing In the most thickly populated districts of the city. He expected to have it com pleted within the next Ave days, the time by which It must be reported to the county superintendent. On the recommendation of Superintendent Clifford the committee on text books was authorized to purchase 1,000 copies of Dubbs' mental arithmetic. The board decided to place the entire ap portionment received from the county school tax to the teachers' fund Instead of using part of it for a library fund, as au thorized by law. Superintendent Clifford reported that the total enrollment at the end of the third week of the new school year was 4. 775, be ing about the same as last year. N. T. Plumbing Co. TeL. 280.

Chief Jus tice Loree of the Delaware supreme court today delivered a strong charge to the grand Jury which is considering the criminal work of the county courts. After reciting the de tails of the murder on June 15 of Helen Bishop by George White, and the subse quent lynching of White by a mob, Judge Loree said: For the first time the lawless and revolt lng crime of lynching has Invaded this state. . Lynching Is a crime against the law both of God and man. Every wilful participant In such an act Is a murderer. No man has a right to commit that crime because he believed or feared that soma other Derson who Is entrusted with the execution of the law will or has failed in the performance of his duty. Under the law we know what our rights are, and. In the main, we find that they are fairly attained and enforced. No human laws or human Institutions are perfect. This no reasonable man will expect. Lynching and mob law. their promoters and encouragers. whether they be of high or low degree, should receive no favors at the hands of thoughtful and patriotic men. There must be government or nongovern ment. The line of cleavage Is clear. All history tenhea that the prevalence of mob law Is the end of free government. Obedi ence to law is the llfeblood of our re public. To you people look for the faithful, fear less and honest discharge of your duty. They ask nothing more and expect nothing less.

LATER FEAR DETECTION AND FLEE Messenger Is Left finsged, hat the Men Leave In 8neh a Harry That Nothlag Is Taken From Car, CHICAGO, Bept. 21. A bold attempt by two men to lock themselves In a Michigan Central railroad tx press car with ths ex press messenger, overpower him after the train left the yards at Thirteenth street, and then rifle the two safes In the car was frustrated Sunday evening when the plans of the would-be robbers miscarried. William Ganghln, an expressman, ws a knocked unconscious and gagged In ths ax press car shortly after o'clock in the evening and then the men discovered be was not the express messenger and, fear ing detection, fled. This is the theory of the railroad offlolals. The express messenger who has charge of the car left Chicago at 8:80 this morning with one guard and about $3,000 In two safes in the car. This money, it Is believed, was the object of the attack of the two men. Ganghln was taken to St. Luke's hospital and It was found that his shoulder had been dis located and he had sustained severe bruises. If he had not been discovered In the car In time, the physicians say, he would have smothered to death because of the gag In his mouth. The police are Investigating the case. Nothing was taken from the expressman and the property In tha car was untouched. It was at first thought that Gnnghln waa attacked instead of Harry Orr, another employe In the yards, who had trouble with a discharged employe recently. Robbery Theory Is Advanced. The police were summoned and Ganghln was taken to the hospital, but It was not until the expressman received and told of the mysterious attack that the attempted robbery theory presented itself. When the officials of the railroad and express com panies learned today of the affair they began an Investigation. Ganghln says nothing was taken from him by the rob bers, which makes him believe he received the beating Intended for Express Messenger Hall. According to the railroad officials, eight or ten weapons are usually kept in the car. Every evening except Sunday the ear leaves for the east at t:S0 o'clock. At 8:30, the time of leaving last night, Hall, with an assistant, loaded the money Into the car, and, entering, locked himself In. On Sunday evening the train does not leave until 8:80 and It Is believed the change In schedule on Sunday, of which they did not know, frustrated their plans.
