RAISOULI'S STRONGHOLD TAKEN Bandit's Forces Escape to Mountains Despite Plana of Minister of War. TANGIER, Jan. 6-ZInat, RaJsouli's strong hold, was virtually destroyed by fire and fell Into the hands of the troops of the sultan at noon today after a short and al most bloodless fight. Ralsoull and his 700 followers succeeded In escaping to the mountains despite the elab orate plans of War Minister Gabba. No firing took place last night, but at 10 o'clock this morning the artillery opened on the town. The Moorish' gunner showed utter Incapacity In handling their guns and the Infantry fired haphasard. Two shells dropped Inside the fortress without reply, and thereupon a body of the sultan's troops charged, shouting, and reached the walls amid desultory shots from the surrounding brush. The town's gates were open, but there were no occupants of the place except fif teen prisoners. Included among whom were four Portuguese. A detachment of the government troops continued firing In the direction of the mountains, where Ralsoull and hi follower were observed fleeing. Meanwhile the other government troops pillaged the stronghold. No fatalities in the fighting today are re ported. It Is thought probable that the Ralsnulltes carried off their dead. Minister of War Gabbas, who had not left Tangier during the operations. Is expected next to move afnlruir the nrontnHa, tw (the throne, Mulal Mohammed, a brother of the sultan, from whose followers there have been many defections recently. The Spanish officers of the International police created by the Algeclra convention have arrived here and will take up their duties at the end of the month. DIAMONDS Frenxer, lBth and Dodge.

WORK OF CODIFYING SCHOOL LAWS State Superintendent Rtggs Objects lo Plan of Legislative Committees to Do Work Darlasj Session. (From a Btaft Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, Jan. 6. (Special.) Several new officials of the state government will take their oath of office tomorrow morning and be given the reins of government. Two new members will come to the executive council In place of two whose terms expire tonight at midnight. The custom of the old officials appealing at their offices to assist the new men In getting started will be followed tomorrow. Just half of the members of the execu tive council go off that body and two new men come on. Secretary of State W. B. Martin and State Treasurer Gllbertson be come private citizens when the sun rises tomorrow, and Senator W. C. Hay ward becomes secretary of state, and W. W. Morrow becomes state treasurer. The ex ecutive council, with Its present day duties is one of the most Important parts of the state machinery. The executive council not only fixes the assessment of the railroads, telegraph, telephone and expres. company properties, but It attends to' an endless amount of detail work during the course of a year, approving expense accounts, pur chasing supplies for the state house, pass ing upon appointments, and ha charge of the construction of the historical build ing. In addition to these two changes In the executive council there Is a change In the office of attorney general. Charles W. Mullen, who haa served two terms as at torney general, will return to Waterloo td continue his practice of law, and W. H. Byers of Harlan becomes attorney general. Mr. Byers will also have a new assistant, Mr. C. W. Lyon of Valley Junction, taking the place of Lawrence DeGraff, who has been elected county attorney of Polk county. Still another change will take place In the office of the railroad commission, Mr. Wllllard L. Eaton of Osage coming to the commission, to take the place of E. A. Dawson of Waverly. It Is notable that there are to be very few' changes In the office forces. There will be a shifting of employes to new po sitions In the office of the secretary of state, but only one new employe comes to the force. In the state treasurer's office the deputy remains, and most of the office force. In the Railroad commission office only one change will be made and that a stenographer. In the attorney general' office one stenographer, who was not an ap plicant for reappointment, will be displaced. In every office In the state house where the election makes changes there will be former employes, continued, so that there need not be the slightest break In the state's business, the greatest change being In the office of attorney general, where the assistant and one stenographer, with the attorney general himself, are new. New Officials Arrive. . Secretary of State Hayward and State Treasurer Morrow , have already moved their families to this olty and have become part of the clty iof -Des Moines. Attorney General Byers wiHotxmtlnua to reside in Harlan, and Railroad Commissioner Eaton will continue to reside In Osage. Both of these gentlemen are lawyers aad have prac tices In their home towns. They do not de sire to lose their regular practice and their duties at Des Moines do not necessitate thl. Mr. Eaton will, be the lawyer member of the Railroad commission and probably will do the greater part of his work at hi law office In Osage, following the custom of Mr. Dawson. It haa been the custom In the past to refer all legal questions to the lawyer member for Investigation. . . Of the retiring members of the official family in this olty, Treasurer Gllbertson will for the present continue to reside In Des Moines and devote his time and at tention to his land business. Secretary Martin will continue to reside here for the present and devote his attention to his banking Interests. It is not certain that either of these men will continue to reside here permanently. . .' Daniel A. Hltes, who vacates the posi tion of deputy secretary of state, will for the present continue to reside In Des Moines. Mr. Hites is a candidate for a legislative position with chances of suc cess and following the legislative session will take up some other work not fully determined upon yet. Mr. Hites has been an employe In the office of the secretary of state for many years, holding the posi tion of a clerk before he became deputy. Governor Cummins and Lieutenant Gov ernor Garst do not take their positions till January 17, when the inauguration Is held. Rlfrg-s Is Skeptical. . John F. Rlggs, state superintendent of public Instruction, does not take kindly to the idea that the legislative committees on schools will be able to do the work of revising, rewriting and codifying the school laws of the state during the coming session of the legislature. Prof. Rlggs Is satisfied the makeup of the committees as they were at the last two sessions of the legis lature include men thoroughly capable of doing the work, but he does not believe they will have time In connection with their other legislative work aa contemplated by Senator J. J. Crossley. There Is no doubt now but that Senator Crossley will be chairman of the commit tee on schools In the senate, the position he held In the Thirtieth and Thirty-first sessions. Senator Crossley believes the state could be saved the expense of a spe cial commission to revise and recodify the school laws In accordance with the recom mendations of Superintendent Rlggs by tha reappointment of the old .committees on schools. These committees served through two sessions of the legislature and he be lieves are thoroughly familiar with all the laws and the work that should be done. Fate of Small Creameries. The fate of the little creameries of Iowa, the cream supply of which Is all hauled to the creamery In wagons. Is the question at Issue between H. R. Wright, state .dairy commissioner, and the members of the Iowa railroad commission. Theae small cream eries manufacture 74.OOO.0uO pounds of but ter a year which Is 76 per cent of the en tire product of the state. The hearing a few daya ago was an Informal hearing. No legal notice of the hearing waa sent out and consequently on that hearing the board can take no legal action. Today the new member of the commission, Wllllard L. Eaton of Osage cornea to the board. There la a certain fixed cost of transpor tation which makes the freight rate for the first fow milea greater In proportion than for each mile after th first few. . Thus for Ave miles the railroads now charge 19 cents for hauling a 100 pound can of cream. For 30 miles It Is 20 cents, for SO mile fl cents. For 60 miles 23 cents and for each five miles after that the Increase Is I cent. The effort that Is being made by the Beatrice Creamery company la to get a reduction of the rate above 30 miles. Dairy Commissioner Wright contends that to reduce th rate abov 30 mile will only assist the big creameries to drive out the little onca, 360 of which have already shut up shop. If the railroad commission takes any ac tion In the matter It will probably be to In sist that Ita freight rates be adhered to even though the business Is all carried on passenger trains. The rates fixed by the commission are the second class freight rates. These rates are 11. cents for a ion pound can of cream for five milea. The rate Increases a little less than 1 cent for each five miles above that to 300. For 25 miles the rate Is 14.46 cents; for 50 miles 17 cents; for AO miles 17.68 cents; 80 miles 19.04 cents; 2n0 miles 80.2 cents. The position taken by Mr. Ketchum Is that the rate having been fixed by the board should be adhered to by the railroads. The difference between the rate for five miles Is less than 8 cents, the railroads now charging 19 cents and the rate fixed by the board being 11.9 cents. For a 200 mile haul the difference Is nearly 30 cents, the railroads now charging 50 cents and the rate fixed by the board being 30.2 cents. I The business now, however, is all carried on express trains and passenger trains either as express or baggage. There is a question whether or not the commission can enforce a rate for passenger trains that has been fixed to apply to freight trans portation. Traveling- Men Prosper. The annual report of the secretary of the Iowa State Traveling Men's association shows that the organisation In the year past haa gained In membership 2.622, the membership January 1, 1907, being 2fi.S96. The association ha an Increase of $40,235.83 In the amount of cash on hand. The claims paid In 1906 amount to 382 more' than In 1905, being $1,667. Committee Begins Work.
