contract to have the building finished by
October 12, under a penalty of 826 a day
after that date. Hollenbeck Bros., who
were given the contract for raising the old

contingent fund had been curtailed, owing
to the extra levy for the Avenue B school
addition, the committee had decided to
limit the repairs this year as much as
possible. With the exception of the Pierce
street and Bloomer schools, the sidewalks
around the" school buildings are in a di
lapidated condition and tha committee
recommended the laying of new walks this
summer, the main entrance walks to be of
cement and the others of brick. The re
port and suggestions of the committee
were approved and the committee was authorised-
to have the work done during the
summer vacation.
Fix , Terms of School.

of fifty-one students who will graduate
June S, and the program for commence
ment week. ...
In connection with the disposition Of the
$171.03 returned br the American Boy Bat
tteehip committee, Director Westerdahl
suggested that a sentiment be worked up

View to their consenting to have it turned

No action, however, was taken In tbe mat
ter. . I .
A petition bearing about thirty signa
tures and asking that another principal tn
place of Miss Agnes Drake be appointed at
the opening of the new school year at the
Thirty-second street school waa presented
to the board. Mo grounds of complaint ara
stated In the petition. Miss Drake is con
sidered one of the most competent prin
cipals and hss been at the heed of the
Thirty-second street school for about eight
years. Chairman Cooper of the committee
on ' teachers said he was inclined to the
opinion that several of the signers of the
petition were not even residents of thst
district. The reason for the request will
be investigated by the committee before tit
is even considered by the board.

GRAND Jt'RY BRINGS IN TWO BILLS
One le Against Joha Lowlag, the Boy
Holdop.
The district court grand Jury completed
the work or Its adjourned session yesterday
and adjourned for the term after return
Ing two Indictments.
One of the Indictments was against young
John Lowing, the Chicago lad. who, with
his brother Martin, essayed the roles of
bandits and on the morning of April 7 held
up and robbed Martin Mortensnn in his
saloon on Sixteenth avenue. The lads ee
cured 114.76, but John Lowing Was captured
within a few blocks from the saloon, while
his brother, when cornered in thq railroad
yards, crawled into a threshing machine
and rather than' be captured alive, sent
a bullet Into his bratrt.
Young Lowlng's case, owing to his youth
has attracted much attention and it is sutd
that several members of the' bar stand
ready to give their services free in his
defense. Rev. Henry DeLong has taken an
especial interest in the boy . and baa ar
ranged matters so 4hat he will have every
legal assistance possible at. his forthcom
ing trial. The boy has been in the county
Jail since his arrest and under the Indict
ment his bond Is placed at 81,000, which it
Is not likely he will be able to furnish.
The other Indictment Is against Louis
Cole, charged with the theft of an over
coat valued at 826 belonging to Edward
Steele, from the Mtnnlck barn on Bryant
street on April 10 last. Cole's bond was

FIGHT IN THE CONVENTION IS LIKELY
Conservatives Likely to Hold the Bal
ance of Power Between, the
Stand-Patters nnd the Rad
ical Revisionists.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 17. Speclal.)-On the
eve of the republican state convention to
select delegates to Chicago and adopt an
expression of party views on the issues of
tbe day, the great mass of the 2,000 dele
gates are much In the dark as to what is
going to be done, aside from the things
which have long since been outlined and
over whloh there la no controversy. ' The
delegates-at-large have long been agreed
upon and moet of the district delegates,
and It Is known, of coarse, 'that the con
ventlon will Indorse Roosevelt and perhaps
the state administration, and refer to pro
tection as a principle, about which there Is
no disagreement. But as 10 wnai me con
vention will say on what has been made
the Issue In Iowa, on which tbe whole cam
reign was fought out that of the tariff
revision and reciprocity the delegates da
not know. There Is no doubt In tbe minds
of any of the delegates, however, but that
the convention will be able to make a
declaration that will enable all the repub
licans of the state to stand squarely upon
it and Indorse It and continue In the party,
It developed this morning that there was
a decided difference of opinion among the
standpatters in regard to the platform. The
issue was on the question of giving room for
tariff revision. Secretary Shaw had come
direct from the councils of the administra
tion at Washington, and while he denied
that he had been commissioned to present
to the republicans a platform that would
meet with the approval of the administra
tion, he did In fact present In the Informal
conferences held a draft of a platform on
the tariff question, which he declared would
be satisfactory in the east and would not be
in conflict with the views of the Iowa re
publicans. But It was turned down cold by
some of the standpatters. It wss under.
stood that J. W. Blythe, Lafe Young and
some others contended that the platform
was too mild a riff that If adopted It would
be virtually a victory for Governor Cum
mine and that the governor would Im
mediately indorse It and take the stand
that It was all sufficient for him. !
The 'division at once became Important.
The standpatters were for a pint form that
would be in line with their campaign. But
Shaw and Allison and Dolllver and others
of the moderates, in harmony with the
more aggressive advocates of the Towa
platform. Insisted that such a platform as
the standpatters propose would come In
conflict very soon with a national platform
and then the party in Iowa would be in a
ridiculous position.
Conferences were held until a late hour.
but the, exact text of the platform is not
known. .
Resolutions Committee.
The dlBtrtot caucuses tomorrow momlne
will select the resolutions, committee. It
has been, agreed that J., W., Blythe of Bur
lington shall go on ror the First district
and Lafe Young of Des Moines for the
Seventh. They represent the radical stand-
pat element:-' Then there will .be George . D.
Perkins of Sioux City, who stands' for the
moderates and the Iowa platform; also D.
Stuart of Harlan, H. L. Rann of Mans
cheater, B,. Murphy of Vinton, E. Romlnger
of Bloomfleld and possibly' W: P. Hepburn
of Clarlnda. The platform will be the work
of Blythe, Perkins, Young and Hepburn.
Delegation Unbroken.
There was some talk that Governor Cum
mins would refuse to go as a delegate-at-large,
but his friends gave it out that he
would not be a quitter unless the con
vention adopts a standpat platform. The
four delegates-at-large will be Cummins,
Allison, Blythe and Dolllver,
A new candidate waa sprung In the Sec.
ond district today, Colonel Q. .W. French,
president of . the National Reciprocity
league, but he will be opposed by Euclid
Sanders of Iowa City. There is still a
fight between Gale and Smith In the
Fourth and the ticket In the Sixth is not
finally settled. In the Eleventh the dele
gates will be A. Van der Melde and R.
L. Cleaves, with Dr. Cram and Robert
Llpton as alternates. There is a fight on
in tne Ninth between E. F. Ellis of Red
Oak and Colonel John Scott of Atlantic
but George Wright of Council Bluffs will
not be opposed.
' I Governor's Position. !
Governor Cummins, owing to his illness,
nae taken no part In the preliminaries.
Speaking of the national platform, as out
lined by Senator Aldrlch after the White
Mouse conference, he said:
"If I could have my own way abso
lutely and make the platform Just td suit
myself, would make but one change tn
the draft of the national platform as out
lined by Senator Aldrlch. That would be
to not leave the time for commencing re
vision indefinite. I would declare that
we should enter upon an examination of
tne acneauies next December with a view
to determining whether some of them
might not be changed to advantage. With
that change the platform, as it' has been
outlined already, would be an Ideal one
ior vne party,"
Talk of Second Convention. '
Conferences have been held In regard
to what will be done at tha aecond state
convention, when the state ticket is to be
nominated. There has been much effort
to bring about an agreement as to a fight
to defeat all the aotive Cummins men for
offtce. Secretary of State Martin, Treas
urer of State Olibertson and Chief Justice
Deemer are said to be slated for defeat
It is known that J. W. Richards, a news
paper man of Waterloo, is. a candidate
for secretary of state, but would prefer
to have the fight put off, as Attorney
General Mullan of his own town, will be
renominated. W. W. Morrow of Union
county Is supposed to be planning to sue
ceed Ollbertaon, but would like to have
the fight postponed two years. Dr. Porter,
field of Atlantic, who wanted the endnr.a.
ment of Ms district aa oandldat fr rail
road commissioner, was not pleased with
the fact that Secretary Martin's county
refused to endorse him. and it is un-r-
stood an effort Is being made to fetch out
a candidate for secretary of state In Har
rison county.
