The forensic brittle In the long drawn-out
trial of the Portland mining suit. In which
James Doyle seeks to recover over $.!,
from JamrK F. Hums, will open this morn
ing. The Jury, which was excused at the
close of the testimony Thursday, will re
convene this morning nt 10 o'clock, when
Attorney Charles J. Hughes, Jr., of Den
ver will fire off the first heavy artillery for
tho plaintiff. Former Governor C. 8.
Thomas of Colorado will mnke the opening
argument for the defense, while John N.
Baldwin and Congressman Smith, the local
counsel, will mnke the closing arguments
for the plaintiff and defendant respectively.
It Is expected the case will go to the Jury
by the end of the week. At tho former
trial the case went to tho Jury on a Friday
and the verdict giving Doyle nearly t.vm.ooo
Was reached on Saturday.
During the Interval that tho Jury was ex
cused counsel for both sides held Informal
sessions with Judge Thornell for the pur
pose of trying to agree upon the Instruc
tions to be given the Jury, but without
avail.
Judge Thornell announced Saturday that
he had decided to exclude from the Jury
the evidence relative to the Portland stork
alleged to have been Issued to James F.
Burns under the name of James Ferguson
nnd bo testified to at the former trial by
Frank O. Peck, secretary of the Portland
company and brother-in-law of the defend
ant. At this trial counsel for the defense
conttwided that the evidence on thrs partic
ular matter was immaterial, ns It had
been admitted that Burns received the
stock. Doyle's counsel contended that tho
evidence was mnterlul, as It tended to show
the alleged peculiar manner" In which Burns
handled the Portland stock.

avenue to what Is known as the "low

made to connect with the road that enters

the "low bridge" there will be but little
rutting to do nnd Mr. Oraham estimates
that the driveway ran be constructed for
about $'.on. It will be fenced along the
motor tracks to make It perfectly safe for
children and will be wide enough for pedes

SCHOOLS ARB TO HKOI'FN TODAY
Vaccination Question Not Yet Defi
nitely Settled.
The public schools of the city will reopen
this morning after tho spring vacation. It
had been hoped that the vaccination con
troversy Iwtween the Board of Health and
the Board of Education would have been
determined by Judge Green before the re
opening of tho schools, but ns It Is Judge
Green will not hand down his ruling until
this morning after the pupils have reas
sembled. Judge Green has held that the Board of
Health had the authority to Issuo the order
It did regarding vaccination providing con
ditions wurranted It. The questions upon
which le will hand down his decision today
are whether the evidence shows that there
la an epidemic or threatened epidemic of
smallpox to wnjrant the Issuance of the
vaccination order and whether the court
ha a right to Issue a mandatory Injunc
tion requiring the Board of Education to
enforce the oarter of the Board of Health
or whether the Board of Health should en
force Its own order.
If Judge Green holds that the conditions
warrant the Issuance of the vaccination
order, hot that the court has not the au
thority to issue a mandatory. Injunction
compelling tho Board of Education to en
force it, then It will be up to the Board
of Health to take such steps as It deems
necessary to enforce this order.
A number of pupils. It is stated, havo
been vaccinated during the vacation, but
there Is still a large number, also some
teachers and Janitors, who have failed to
comply with tho order.
If Judge Green holds that the existing
conditions warrant the Issuance of the or
der by the Board of Health there will of
a necessity arise the question of the method
of vaccination. The Board of Health will
Insist that only vaccination by scarifica
tion or external vaccination !e recognized
and that those who have been treated by
the Internal method lie debarred from the
schools. This, It Is expected, will result
In another suit In the courts.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES. April 9 c Speiial.) The
legislative committee of the State Teachers
association Is sending to every county sup
erintendent in the state a circular letter
asking for his suggestions as to what leg
islation should be asked of the general
asembly which convenes next January. At
the last session of the general assembly
the committee received 125 drafts of bills
with requests that they be presented to
the legislature. This was more than an
average of one from each county superin
tendent. There were so many different
opinions that the Teachers' association was
unable to agree, and no legislation was
secured. This year It Is proposed to begin
the matter early and thus secure uniform
action. State Superintendent Rlggs has
suggested that the certificates to teach Is
sued by county superintendents be done
away with and certificates be Issued en
tirely from the state superintendent's of
fice. It Is more than likely that the State
Teachers' association will take up this sug
gestion. The legislative committee afready
has letters from ftfty-flve of tho ninety
nine county superintendents endorsing this
suggestion.
County Preferred Creditor.
Judge Smith McPherson of the federal
court has rendered a decision In the case
of Polk county against the defunct bonk
of Colfax, deciding that the county Is a
preferred creditor and must be paid first
from the assets of the bank. There was
about $15,000 of tho county funds on deposit
and had the county lost its case ex-County
Treasurer A. W. Lawman would have been
held for the amount.
Would Lessen Party Funds.
Discussion of the state wide primary
election law which Governor Cummins has
said he proposes to recommend to the leg
islature next January, has turned on the
question of how to raise party funds.
"Under the present law, which applies only
to Folk county, any one is entitled to have
his name on the ticket If he pays a moder
ate fee," said County Chairman alter
Irish today. "Under the old method tho
county central committee assessed tho can
didates whatever It thought proper, and
unlers they paid, their names didn't go
on the ticket. I am of the opinion that
under the present law the candidates will
not pay as large sums as they have In
the past In this county, nnd if tho state
wide law Is enacted I can see no reason
why it will not act the same way else
where." Relieve Interview IV ot Authentic.
Friends of Governor Cummins believe the
Interview published In ft local paper con
cerning the governor being a candidate
against Senator Dolllver Is not authentic.
The Interview came from Washington,
where the governor has been for a week
on the Shlloh matter. The governor waa
made to say:
"All the stories that I propose to enter
the field , against... .Senator Dolll
ver. emanate from those who
are opposed to me and who are friends
of Senator Dollver. With this sort of
talk It is possible they may convince me
that the things they say I am going to
do lire the things I really ought to do."
All bnt One Reappointed.
The regimental staff of Colonel James
Rush Lincoln of the Fifty-ninth regiment,
which is situated In the towns In the
southwestern part of the state, has all
been reappointed with the exception of
Captain Roscoe Byers as commissary.

Moines, adjutant.
Captain A. A. Walburn, Audubon, chap
luin. Captain Herbert C. Lane, Red Oak, quar

will go to Davenport to confer tho thirty
third degree on two or three who have
been elected to It. Ho will visit but one
other city In the state, Sioux City. He
will come to Des Moines from Ornalm.
Fight Over Assessment.
Abraham Slimmer, one of the wealthiest
men of the Btute, and the city council of
Waverly sitting as a Bourd of Review,
have locked horns over tho assessment
of his property. Some years ago he gave
a lawyer at Nashua, a little village, power
of attorney to loan his money, amounting
to 150.000. The property was thereupon
assessed at the little village, where the
taxes were light. This deprived Waverly
of the assessment till this year. The
council has now assessed the property at
his residence in Waverly under a recent
ruling of the supreme court fixing the
place of assessment. It is believed the
matter will be carried tq the suprume
court.

Chicago National base ball team stir up
the dust and nearly shut the Rangers out
In a game that lost Interest after the
fourth Inning.
Jack Pnester did the twirling for the
Rangers for these four Innings, in which
the Chicago players raked in eight hits
and nine runs. It evidently was Ptlester's
day off or elso the Ranger favorlto has
not yet recovered from the effects of the
winter spent in Cincinnati. Bemls, one of
Manager Rourke's colts, was placed In
the box In the fifth and showed up well
during his service in the game. Bemls let
the Zeepoos down with three hits and
one run in the last five innings.
Roth the loss of Interest in the game
and the clouds of dust that blew down
the field to the grandstand caused a
goodly number of the mourners to leave
the stand with bowed heads from the
sixth Inning on to the end of the game.
Had It not been for thu wind and dust
another reason might have been assigned
for the many reddened eyes and exposed
handkerchiefs seen at yesterday ufter
nuou's service.
Freese Scored Only Run.
Freeso and Remls saved the Rangers
from a shutout, Freese connecting with
the ball In the eighth and sending it over
to the lightfleld fence and making third
base. Remis followed with a single In
the same territory and Freese came In
with the only run the Rangers made. For
this kind act Freeso was forgiven by the
funs for allowing the Zeepoos to steal
four bnses previously In tho game.
It was In the fourth Inning that the
Chicago lads settled up with Mr. Pnester
and the Ranger bunch for fair. With
ten men to bat the visitors made five
singles', ono two-base and one three-base
lilts, six runs, stole two biuses and earned
all the runs. Every man up found the
ball, two of the out being on high flies
to center field and the third being a
strike out, when O'Neill came to bat the
second time In the Inning. Then Bemls
was placed In the box, but It was too
late; tho patient was too far gone for
any stimulant that Bemls could offer.
Lanier Can Hit.
Eddie Iwler, a well known Omaha base
ball product, played third base for the
Chicago team and made three hits, good
for one, two a.id three bases, respectively,
In his five times at bat.
Mordecal Brown bitched In good form
for the visitors and was well remembered
by his former associates and supporters
