Exceeded Its Power In Vaccination Case. Advocates of the. homeopathic method of vaccination won a decided victory In the district court yesterday In the case brought by Edward Canning and other patrons of the public schools of this city against the local Board of Health, which last spring promulgated 'an order to the effect that every, pupil attending school be required to show .a certificate of vacslnatlon by scarification. ,Tha. matter came before the' court on a petition for dissolution of the mandatory -Injunction issued by Judge Green, restraln I Ing the Board pf Education from admit ting fb-; the schools all such pupils who had failed to obey the order of the local Boa,rd-of Health relative to being vacci nated by- the scarification method, which Is the method prescribed by the State Board of Health. Two polnte were raised In the case. One was that there was no need at this time for -compulsory vaccination, as there- no 'epidemic of smallpox, and the other point was that neither the State board nor me local Board of Health had the right to "discriminate against any method of vacciaation which was recognised and ap provft fcy any standard school of medicine. . JuSfceMnrjf dissolved the Injunction is sued by Judge Green on the grounds that there was no epidemic or threatened epi demic ot smallpox at present In the city and ho fiirthe'r heJd that neither the 8tate Board "of , Health nor the local Board of Health can prescribe a method of vaccina tion for admission to the schools to the exclusion .of any other method approved by a' fetatftl.ird ond recognized school of medi cine,. While, holding thut the local Board of Health, hud' the right in' the time of an fpldemlc, or threatened epidemic to re quire vaccination, as a condition to at tendance at school, lt must accept any system of vaccination approved by any standard school of. nu'dldne and that any attempt , of the loeal Board of Health to go 'beyond, that would be void. The controversy has attracted- wide at tention and Interest-: among homeopaths throughout the Urtfted States and a num ber of prominent physicians of that school were In attendance at the hearing yester day.

NEW RULING ON INSURANCE Intemperance of Decedent Vltlatea Policy l Fraternal Com panlea. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Oct. 19.-(Speclal.) The supreme court today decided that a beneficiary of a fraternal Insurance com pany cannot break the rule of the society and Indulge In intemperance and then col lect the life Insurance. It holds that even though the fraternal Insurance company continues to accept the payments an-1 assessments It Is not liable for the death claim If the member breaks the rules and uses liquor to excess. The ease was that of Ella Knapp against the Brotherhood of American Yeomen, on an appeal from tha Linn county district court. It was shown that Knapp was Intemperate at the tlmil he signed the application for membership and that he made a false statement In thst respect. The district court found for the plaintiff but the supreme Court today re versed this on the ground of error and on the ground that a. fraternal Insurance com pany, being a charitable concern, Is not bound by the same rules as a regular life Insurance company and so Is not bound to pay a death claim even though It received the payments of the assessments up to the death of the Insured. Paul forces today raised $3,000 to prosecute the fight for the deposed grand' foreman of the order. At the special convention here to select delegates to the Colorado Springs conclave the Paul forces spilt off and held a rump convention. Both sides selected delegates. J. E. Paul, tha deposed foreman, made a statement before the con vention agreeing to withdraw from the race as a candidate for grand foreman If Koch, the man put In the position by the bord of directors after Paul was deposed, would also withdraw. Koch refused. The matter will now be fought out at the Colo rado Springs conclave. General Nelson A. Miles, V. 8. A., re tired, made a flying visit to Fort Des Moines today to visit his son, Lieutenant Miles, and then continued his trip to Chicago. He came from attending the horse show at Kansas City and was In the city not more than six hours. v Frank ShercllfTe. or Sherman Morris, as Is his right name, who disappeared while Governor Cummins was considering the Oklahoma requisition, has again appeared In the city, and was at his work today at the Des Moines Casket company. He has given no explanation for dropping out of sight Just previous to the decision on the requisition. CLYDE Dl.NNIXG TRIAL. PROCEED" Iowa Banker Not Permitted to Escape on a Technicality. CRESTON. la,, Oct.. 19.-(Speclal.)-The forenoon session of the district court yes terday was occupied In hearing a motion from the. defense for the dismissal of the case against Clyde Dunning for fraudulent banking on the ground that the drawing of tho grand Jury that returned the Indictment was Illegal. The defense sets up the claim that the grand Jury was empanelled on the first day of the term. Instead of the second, as the law provides, and therefore that the Indictment will not hold. Also that four of the members of the grand Jury that re turned the Indictment were depositors In the Day Dunning bank, and therefore prejudiced against the defendant; and also that the box from which the panel was drawn held only eleven names. Instead of twelve, as the law provides. For these reasons It Is asked that the Indictment be declared defective and the case dismissed. The attorneys for the defense this morning and Immediately after dinner argued these points before the court. The court overruled the motion to dis miss and the case went to trial this after noon, and the talesmen are now being ex amined with a view of getting the Jury to try the case. County Attorney H. M. Fry of this county, by virtue of his office, is assisting the state, which Is otherwise rep resented by R. C. Henry, county attorney of Ringgold county, and by Virgil R. Mc Oinnls and L. W. Laughlln. The defendant Is being represented by R. H. Spence and Fuller A Fuller of Mount Ayr. Thomas L. Maxwell and P. C. Winter of Creston and J. P- Flick of Bedford.

VOTERS STAY AWAY FROM THE POLLS Assistant City Attorney Winter llolda (he First Day's Itectat rat loa Void, bat Others Think Differently. Thursday was the first day of registra tion and the total when the registrars ceased work for the day showed that but a small proportion of the voters paid any attention to the matter of registering. Mayor Koutsky was around and about looking after the boards of registration. In. a number of cases the mayor had to fill vacancies on the boards but the ma jority of the registrars reported for duty on time. By the change In the precinct lines in the Fifth ward a new board of registrars was necessary. A great many voters stated that they did -. , ... not propose to register again this year as thev registered nn RuntamhM- IS la.l.t.nl they registered on September 19. Assistant 1.11V Attomev Winters hanriori In an nn n ah a week or more ago to the effect that the primary registration would not go and that three davs of res-lstratlnn wnnM tu necessary and that all vntera mmt rvi,t.i. again this fall. Others hold that under the i new lawt the primary registration Is good and that the names nf tha vhtars whn rrla tered on September IB should be copied into the registration books. Bo far the names of those registering at the primary election have not been copied Into the new registra tion books and the registrars are going on the theory that the previous registration does not count. Before the next registration day coitus around, which should be on October 27, the mayor and members of the council will most likely look Into this matter thoroughly and endeavor to have the present tangle straightened out. It Is possible that the registrars will be directed to take the primary registration books and copy the names of those who registered on that day Into the new books. In order to assist vot ers and registrars, a new ward map of the city with the precinct lines showing, was Issued yesterday. This new map shows the changes In the Fifth ward. The other pre cincts remain as before. Excavators Strike Sewer.

MAYOR HAS HIS VETO READY Will Refase to Slaa Resolution Pay ing; Noyes nnd Cowdnroy With, oat Work. Mayor Moo res has announced he will veto the resolution adopted by the council, placing f-uperlntendent Noyes and Street Foreman Cowduroy of the asphalt plant on the "permanent pay rpll." "I am surprised the, council should ever adopt such a resolution, especially In the face of threatened shortages In all funds. The asphalt plant Is running now only by a makeshift for which1 a point had to be strained In the making. Neither the en gineering department nor the asphalt repair plant has a cent In lUsuun the contrary both are short. I do pt believe any of the asphalt repair force jshould be retained through the winter, except' a man to act as watchman. I do not think there Is any necessity for retaining the chemist, super intendent or street foreman. I notice the resolution Is drawn up la Mr. Cowduroy s hand.

BOY INSISTSON REVENGE I.lttle Fellow Beaa City Prosecutor to Pnalsh Brother for Mash ing Dram. ... That little broken drum meant much to Arthur Thompson, a diminutive colored boy who called Thursday morning on City Prosecutor Lee at his office In the police court. There was a touch of pathos In the scene when the boy carried the damaged Instrument Into police court and asked the city prosecutor for a complaint against a brother, who in a moment of anger kicked a hole in one end of the drum. Mr. Lee listened to the lad's story with Interest and then told the boy a story of brotherly love and forgiveness. "Even though thy brother kick your drum fifty times you should forgive him," said Mr. Lee to the boy. The boy could hardly see It in that light. Evidently he had been reared In a school where the doctrine of a drum' for a drum and a tooth for a tooth had been taught him, as he seemed Insistent on securing some sort of restitution at the hands of the city prosecutor. The boy s story was that he received the drum last Christmas and since that time has been practicing assiduously, with am bitions to become a drummer. Thursday morning he and his brother became In volved In an argument over the ownership of a white rat, the argument coming to a sudden termination when the elder brother kicked a hole In one end of the drum. The little drummer boy left the police court with the torn drum under one arm and eyes filled with tears. The lesson of brotherly love seemed a hard one for him.
