CITY ATTORNEY HOLDS OPPOSITE VltW Its New Morri Mad la ths Hatter, feat Some Are Expected Before Meettag of the City Council Moaday. There were no new developments yester day In the controversy over the appoint ment of a new chief of the fire department by the Fire and Police commission, but some may be looked for. It Is said, before the city council meets Monday night. That the Firs and Police commission has secured an opinion from Attorney General Byers to the effect that the office of chief of the fire department was vacant was questioned by a number of persons. Ths following la a complete copy of the opinion. If such it can be termed, received by Chairman Tlnley of the commission from Attorney General Byers: Opinion of Attorney General. "The Fire and Police Board recently ap pointed, composed of Messrs, B. M. Bar gent, 1 Zurmuehlin. sr., and myself, wish to ask you If you would kindly furnish, at an early date as convenient, your opinion relative to the appointment of a successor to the chief of the fire department. The present chief was elected by the city council .n March, 1906, for the term of one year ending March 31, lf"7. and not re-elected by the council. Kindly say as to the In tent of the law In regard to the standing of t:e present chief. We have been advised that copies of the law will be sent us soon. "Kindly say from what fund will be ex pected to supply books and stationery and ft Mo authorizes such expenditures." in response thereto I submit the follow ing: fraction 1 of senate file No. 215, the bill Just .recently passed by the general as sembly and which became operative as a law on the 4th day of this month, makes the law covering the Board of Police and Fire con lmlssioners in certain cities apply to all cities with a population of 26,000 and over. Section 2 of the bill takes from the city council the right to select the chief of the fl e department. Section 8 gives the power to appoint a chief of the tt"e department to the Board of Police and llro commissioners. Section 4 IncluuVs the chief of the fire de partment In the list of officers who may te removed by the board for misconduct or failure to perform his duty. In other words, puts the offlse of chief of the fire department under clell service rules. Section 6 continues the present chief of the fire department and the members of the police and tire department of all cities affected by the act, other tban the chief of police. In their present positions without further appointment or examination. . Section 6 is the publication clause. It will be noted that there Is no provision whatever in the bill covering necessary supplies, books and stationery fur the board. I am of the opinion thnrefor: 1 That under the facts stated in yau letter, there Is a vacancy In the office of the chief of the fire department of ' you; city. 2 That the Board of Police and Flra commissioners have the authority to fill such vacancy by the appointment of the chief of the fire department. 3 That such supplies, books and sta tionery as may be needed by the board for the purpose of organising and conducting its department should be furnished and paid for In the same way that supplies for other departments of the city government are lurnished and paid for. ' You will, of course, understand that this Is not an official opinion, but simply my personal views given out of courtesy to you. Otnclal opinions can oniy oe given upon request of some of the state depart ments. City Attorney Differs. It will be seen that In presenting the mat ter to the attorney general Mr. Tlnley stated that Chief Jones had been elected In April. 1906. for the term of one year, ending March SI, 1807. The records of the city council, however do not show this. They show that Chief Jones was elected "for the ensuing year" and the ordinance under which he was elected provides that "he shall hold office for one year, or until his successor Is elected and qualified." City Solicitor Kimball givea It as his opin ion that Mr. Jones was chief of the fire de partment according to the ordinance under which he was elected, at the time the Fire and Police commission oame Into being, and that such being the case he could only be removed for cause. The law creating the Fire and Police commission and defin ing Its duties, etc., provides that the pres ent chief and members of the fire depart ment continue In office without further appointment and can be removed only tor cause after charges are preferred and proven.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) TIES MOINFS. April 18. (Special.) The State Board of Health and other Interested are much concerned over the spread of spinal meningitis In different parts of the state and the apparent inability of the health officers to control the epidemic. In Appsnonse county, near Centervllle, It hss broken out in bad form and a number of deaths have been caused. In northern and central Iowa a number of cases are re ported. The health authorities have nearer had to deal with such an epidemic before and about all they can do is to request Isolation of all case. It is feared that a general wave of this strange illness may sweep the state, causing great damage. Council Rlnffe Case Decided. A bit of bad railroad engineering near Council Bluffs must be corrected, but the railroad commission refused to order a new hrldg-e for the Wabash over Mosquito creek. The commission inspected the place lant Monday and today gave an order. N. P. Dodge and others complained because a trestle work supported by piling over Mosquito creek obstructed the water and caused damage. The commission found this to be true, and It was because the trestle did not go directly across the stream and the rows of piling ran dlagonslly. Instead of ordering an entire new bridge as the complainants asked the commission di rected the Wabash to rearrange the piling so as to be In harmony with the flow of the stream. This must be done in ninety days. The creek Is narrow and tortuous and at times carries a large volume of water. Cannot Choose Mall Carrier. It appears that the state executive coun cil Is up against a hard proposition the matter of selecting a mall carrier for the state capitol, and, in fact la in a deadlock on the matter. Colonel R. C. Hubbard, who had long acted as mall carrier and postmaster, died a few weeks ago, and a dozen or more want the place. A number of the candidates are old soldiers and there Is very little doubt that an old soldier will be selcted. It is, however, a difficult place and will require a man capable of a great deal of hard work. The candidates repre sent various sections of the state. Military Maaenvers Planned. General Thrift and the four colonels of Iowa regiments, Iowa National Guard, in company with a representative of the Elev enth cavalry, United States Army, called upon Governor Cummins today and planned for the extensive military maneuvers of the guard in conjunction with portions of the regular army next summer. It is planned to have cavalry and artillery from the regulars, also the signal corps, in con junction with the state guards, and to have a series of operations In and near Dee Moines, covering a full week. It will be the first time anything of the sort has been tried in Iowa. Slight Snow In Iowa. Only a slight snow fell in Iowa this morn ing and but a trace of snow at Des Moines. There was frost last night, and the last two or three days there has been almost constant freezing weather, which hag In jured the prospect of a fruit crop. Joint Schedules on Freight. The Stale Railroad commission will, on the Bth of next month, take up the matter of adjusting rates and arranging a schedule of Joint rates for Iowa. The law went Into effect at once and ths commission Is given very little time in which to make In vestigation with a view to making the Joint rates. In the meantime the commission will make a tour of the atate, thoroughly In specting all the railroad lines and making Inquiries as to the needs of the people. Delegates to Presbytery. At the Des Moines presbytery this morn ing Rev. John L. Gage of Fairfield, Rev. G. D. Ourley of Sharor and Elders A. Johnson of Linevllle and W. B.

They seem to think it is a ml racist It isn't. It's Just the stomach working) again. Here's a case of this kind: "I suffered with my stomach for thirteen, years. Nothing I ate seemed to digest. I also had chronlo constipation, and was tired, dull. Irritable and despondent all the time. I found it difficult to attend ta my duties as traction agent at this place. "Six different doctors treated me arid all gave different opinions. "I began taking Cooper's New Dlsoov sry, and to my surprise it he 4 me from the first.
