(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES. Dec Jl.-(Speelal.)-The
State Teachers' association closed today
with election of officers, aa follow: Presi
dent, prof. p. 8. Wright of Cedar Falls, of
the faculty of the State Normal acliool;
Vice presidents, 8. K. Btevenson of Iowa

of Cedar Kails; educational council mem
bers, A. B. Storms of Amos; Anna White

Resolutions were adopted by the SBHOola-
tlon, which Included the following; as the
.lef .matters recommended or endorsed :
Appreciation of. the efforts of the Iowa
commission for an exhibit at the tit. Louis
exposition and approval of the plans made,

with recommendation to the legislature that
It should provlilo a larger appropriation for
the. Iowa exhibit at the expoHltloiv.
Commending the compulsory attendance
law and recommending an extension of the
limn of attendance, at school, also an ex
tension of the age limit and some dellnlte
time fixed near the middle of the school
year before which the attendance should
begin.
That the state of Iowa has reached that
stage of progress where It can and should
make possible the common privilege of
advanced study, as Is furnished by the
high schools of the commonwealth, by pro
viding a system of state aid for all high
schools maintaining a satisfactory course
of study and granting free and euual privi
leges to all who may apply for admission
from the rural as well aa from the city dis
tricts. Thut the teachers should receive higher
salaries and a campaign of education should
ho Instituted to achieve that result, and
while In favor of' legislative enactment for
minimum salaries there should be an In
crease of professionally prepared teachers,
in short the elevation of the profession In
all ways.
Enlargement of the powers of the Board
of Educational Examiners so that there
can be recognition of the certificates from
other states and reciprocity, in the recogni
tion of such certificates.
Appreciation of ihe work of R. C. rtarrett
as state superintendent arid hope that he
will continue In educational work In the
Btate. Expressing confidence in the new
state superintendent1.
On the general program there were1 a
number of papers, the most conspicuous
being that of President Seerley of the
State Normal school, on the public school
curriculum. In general, he scouted the
Idea of a need of uniformity In the curri
culum, and pointed out that there should
be as much elasticity aa possible. II. J.
Sessions of Cedar Rapids told what was
being done for the Iowa educational exhibit
at the St. Iouls exposition. The sessions
were harmonious In every way and the
program carried out In full, all matters
being ably discussed. The tight for presi
dency left no bad feeling anywhere.

C. F. Wood, cashier of the Cltisens bank
at St. Charles, a small town in Madison
county, south of here, shot and killed him
self last night. Mr. Wood was about 35

Another bank had recently been started in

business and there was a new private bank
at Truro, a town In the same territory.

LOCAL MERCHANTS TO FIGHT
Have Canvassers for Chicago Hooso
Arrested aad Court Assesses
a Fine.
ATLANTIC, la.. Dec. 81. (Special Tele
gram.) A novel and most Interesting case
was tried before Justice Pressnall here to
day. For some time past a gang of men
has been canvassing the county represent
ing what they call the Chicago Supply
company. The canvassers take orders for
all manner of merchandise, such as cloth
ing, dry goods, shoes, etc., and have been
doing such an extensive business from
their headquarters in this city, where a
cutter was kept cutting and fitting the
suits and . overcoats they sold, that ths
local merchants have become hostile and
today Frank Nebe of Nebe Bros.' shoe
house, as a representative of the various
local concerns Interested.' had the agents
or canvassers arrested under the Iowa
statute which provides that a license must
be paid for such work, charging them with
peddling without a license. The strangers
employed good counsel to defend them,
while County Attorney Bryant prosecuted.
The defense claimed they were not ped
dlers, but were simply agents of a for
eign house and were under the protection
of the Interstate commerce act A great
legal battle was fought on both sides, but
Justice Pressnall held for the state and
fined the defendants 850 each and cests
The defense put up ball in the sum of J 100
and w ill appeal to the supreme court, their
attorney from Chlcsgo coming, so they
say, to assist their local counsel in the
trial. This case will be pushed by the
local merchants, who have all combined
In bearing the expense and If necessary the
matter will be taken to the, supreme court,
as the taxpaylng business men are anxious
to kill off this clsa of non-taxpaying competition.

MUKDEN RE0CCUPIED AS WAR MEASURE
Manchuria Correspondent of Russian
Paper Says Fear of Chinese Hos
tility Caused Occupation
of Town by Troops.
MOSCOW. Dec. 31. -The imposition of war
risks today by the insurance companies on
shipments hence to the far eust was the
first local Intimation that Ituaao-Japanese
hostilities were considered within the
bounds of possibility.
There Is no war talk, however, nor ex
citement. The Manchurian correspondent
of the Moscow Gazette says the Chinese
plan in the light of a campaign is to con
centrate 50,0u0 picked troops along the line
of the Sinmlntun branch of the Manchurian
railroad and cut the communications, thus
Isolating New Chwang and Port Arthur.
He adds that the reoccuputlon of Mukden
by the Russians was effected chiefly for
the purpose of checking this movement.
I.IBAU, Russia. Dec. 31. The Russian
second-class cruiser Atmaz has sailed for
the far east.
ST. PETERSBCnO. Dee. 31.-The Foreign
office declares nothing has yet been decided
regarding Russia's reply to Japan. M.
Kurlno, the Japanese minister here, has
been conferring actively with Foreign
Minister I.amsdorfT, notwithstanding ths
fact that the Japanese official Is suffering
severely from a cold and from lumbago.
TOKIO. Japan, Dec. 31 The completion
of all the necessary preparations for even
tualities has been followed by a temporary
lull, pending the receipt of Russia's reply.
It Is reported at Seoul that the Russian
minister Is trying by every means to Induce
the Corean court to grant Russia a lease
of Maaamphn as a naval station. The un
rest In southern Corea continues.
ST. LOT.'IS. Dec. 31 Lieutenant General
Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired, who
stopped here today enroute east, said In
an interview: "If war Is declared between
Russia and Japan It will probably Involve
all the nations of Europe."
Asked If he meant that all the nations in
Europe would come to the aid of either
Russia or Japan, he said: "Yes, they
would become Involved in that way." He
declined to say whether he thought this
country would become Involved or not.
General Miles stated that he had been In
both Russia and Japan in the last few
years nnd Is familiar with the armies of
both countries. "Both are in fine condition
for war," he said, "but I. will not say what
I think of their relative strength and condi
tion. The war will be decidedly military,
as well as naval, and in my opinion there
will be battles on land of considerable
magnitude."
