which was signed by the architects and
which provides for the payment of a S per
cent fee to the architects. 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.

CONTEST FOR SENATORSMP
Emmet-Dickinson County Squabble Before
State Election Board.
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.
The Polk county grand Jury is Investigate
ing the report submitted by the special bar
committee against Ed II. Hunter, W. L.
White, Jesse O. Wells, F. A. Marvin and
Michael Drady, charging them with an at
tempt to corrupt the Jury system, and Fred
A. Cooper, county auditor, and B. F. Coffin,
clerk, for alleged Illegal drawing of Jury

typewritten testimony before the special
committee, together with the findings of

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.
BOARD BUSY OVER ROUTINE

NOT AGREED JM COMMISSION
Minority of Library Board Thinks
Five Per Cent la Too
Mark.
LEWIS CUTLER
MOHT1CIA14.
M Pearl SC. CeuaoU feiuOa.
President Rohrer announced yesterday
that he would call a meeting of the library
board for Thursday evening of this week,
at which time the building committee will
submit for approval of the board the con
tract with the two firms of architects se
lected at the last meeting to furnlna the
plans for and supervise the construction of
the Carnegie library building.
Announcement is made that the commit
tee is not unanimous In the matter and
that majority and minority reports will be
presented. Members Balrd and Stewart of ,
ant teacher at the Avenue B school and
her salary placed at $35. The salary of Ml.s
Katherlne Treynor was increased from $U0
to $fi5 to conform with the pay received by
seventh grade teachers. j
Samuel Worley was appointed Janitor at
the Thirty-second street school at a salary
of $35 a month. 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.

JUDGE SC0RES MOB LAW
Instructs Grand Jury to Make In
vestigation of Lynching;
of Negro.
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 21. 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.

BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB CAR

Expreis klesienger.
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.
