COUNCIL AND BOARD CLASH Reoommaadationi of Flrt gad Falio Gom miuitn Laid on Table. NEW BODY WANTS ELECTRICIAN'S OFFICE City Connell Inclined to Provide Rooms for the Board, ent Wants to Do It la Its Owa Way. The strained relations existing between the city council and the Board of Fire and Police commissioners were not relieved any by the attitude of the council In Its meet ing of the committee of the whole yester day afternoon, at which time the communi cation from the board asking oartaln recommendations was laid on the table. Aside from fixing the salary of the secre tary of the board, W. F. Bapp, at IX per month, the committee recommended that the office of the electrician be converted Into an office for the board, the officer thus left without a home to be transferred to the room adjoining tho council chamber.

The ordinance providing for making meter Inspectors who are employed by tho gas and water companies city officials was referred to City Solicitor Kimball for re vision before Its consideration again by the council. The ordinance is Intended to give protection to people who let unidentified persons Into their houses upon the repre sentation that they are meter Inspectors.

Jackson has decided the controversy at tending the preliminaries to the establish ment of an independent school district at McClelland byorderlng the secretary to call a special election submitting the mat tor to a vote of the people. This is a reversal of the action of the board, which declined to call such an election in Feb ruary, on the ground of lack of Jurisdic tion. The board set up as a defense of this aotlon the fact that the last official census gave the town of McClelland a population of only seventy-one, while the law requires that the town shall have at least 100 before It can be organised Into an independent school district. The decision was reached by the sup erintendent after a hearing at McClel land on an appeal from the decision of the board filed by J. R. Crawford, J. W. Rounds and J. D. Jones. At the meeting of the board In which the members de- clined to submit the proposition to a vote , BnenBnrtoah ani Miss Rosa Peppers of a remonstrance waa filed by J. W. Bell Glenwood, Rev. J. W.

(From a Staff Correspondent) DES MOlNiaa, April 26. tSpoclal.) The regents of the Stale university are wrest ling with the problom of stretching their appropriation for the expenne budget LX.UU0 farther than It waa Intended to reach, and the trustees of the State Agricultural col lege at Ames are wrestling with the prob lem of stretching the funds for building the annex to the Agricultural hall 1S.0UO be yond the limits. The trustees of the Agri cultural college offered plana to the legis lature for a $tio,000 annex to the Agri cultural halL This annex Is to be an audi torium, or ohapel, for the meeting of the student body, and la to be connected to the Agricultural building. The legislature ap proved the Ha,0u0 plana for the building, but voted down the bill carrying an 18,000 appropriation for the heating and plumbing fixtures. Now the trustees are In a dilemma and have not as yet found a way out. A meeting of the trustees was held at Ames Wednesday and the matter waa all grnis over, and the only solution to be found was to alter the plans and build a less commodious and pretentious building, but the. legislature approved the plans for the 150,000 building, and the trustees may not have the authority to alter the plans. If It Is found that the plans can be altered they probably will be cut down to the extent of $8,000, and that amount from the mlllage tax put Into heating1 and plumbing. The regents of the State university asked for more money for running expennea to be given In the annual appropriation Increase than the legislature gave It. The budget Is something like lll.Ono blggtjr thnn the ap propriation and the regents continued thrtr session over Unlay to try and find some way out of the trouble. Qnard Loses Beat Shot.

The really grsve fault In the present arrangement la not that the signals are changed twice dnily, but that the alternate sets are of Immensely different value, and the worse signals are In force during the very period of greatest danger. The on coming of night, which from ao many causes Is the most perilous time of travel, makes useless the signals which require the, en gineer merely to distinguish forma and directions and brings In their stead colors, which are peculiarly liable to be misread. The difficulties with which these color sig nals are burdened I cannot believe are fully known to all. The plan that I would propose would be to use throughout the twenty-four hours the kind of signal which la now employed only by day. Thla could be ac compllRhed simply by making at night ths vane of the semaphore luminous. Aa In our cities, lights are arranged in lines of letters to catch the attention, so here the signal could become a fiery arm pointing outward or down or, lf need be, midway between these directions, at will. Such a line of fire would be strikingly different from the usual lights of buildings or of streets. It would also, both In quality and In form, stand out entirely distinct from all the colored lights whose use upon the railt way It may. In the end, seem wise to con tinue for purposes other than the block signal. A continuous line Of light, more over, would be visible at a far greater distance than Is the present single light The glowing signal lights would best be white, and of oourse, should not change In tint In order to convey their message. This would at once remove all need of dis cerning whether the 11ns burned white or green or red. with all the risk which the distinction brings. The mechanical difficulties of Introducing the new form of signal would not be great. A row of half a dosen oil lamps stretched along the front of the signal arm lamps of the type at present used In the block system could be counterpoised to prevent their Interference with the proper action of the mechanism which controls the arm. Even with such lanterns the new system would-hare . an Immense superiority over the old, but no one should regard these weak lights as more than a makeshift; for what Is urgently needed Is something that will penetrate the smoke and mist and atorm. There would be many advantages In using Incandescent electrlo lights throughout the large area where a suitable current la now available an area rapidly increasing, and doubtless destined soon to cover nearly our whole land. The objec tion to the use of electric lights, that they are liable suddenly to fall It for any rea son the current la Interrupted, would not be serious where electricity is also the motive power of the trains, for should the current cease and the signal lights go out the train would at the same time soon be brought to a stop and there would be no Immediate danger from the Interruption. But on roads where electricity Is not the motive power the beet lilumlnant for the new signal would perhaps be gas stored under pressure In tanks gas auch aa la used In many of our railway cars or In the gas buoys set along our shores by the gov ernment. Since these buoys burn untended for montha In atorm or calm. It would seem that such a light might well be adapted to Illuminate the aemaphore arm. For. If a line of oil lamps were used the temptation would be strong to economise In weight and consequently In oil capacity, and thus to have only a moderate bril liancy where a powerful light Is needed. George H. Stratton In the Century. WASTE OF NATURE'S SUPPLIES Lesson of Exhausted Lambcr Re sources Applied in Other Directions. Renewed discussion of the probable dura tion of the coal supply and of the conse quently appropriate attitude or action of the government toward it, is Interesting and auggestlve, but It too often Ignores that which Is really the fundamental con sideration, namely, the question whether men have at any time or In any case the moral right to say "After us or after our great-great-grandchildren the deluge." It la interesting to be told that exclusive of Alaska our known coal resources aggregate 2,300,000,000,000 tons figures which the ordi nary mind simply cannot comprehend. It Is perhaps more to the point to show that In the last ninety years our consumption of coal has pretty nearly doubled every ten years; and that while If the present rate were maintained without further In crease our supply would last 4,000 years, If the rate kept on Increasing aa It has done In these last ninety years our supply would be exhausted in a century. But the real point is that, whether our coal Is sufficient to last one century or forty centuries, we have no moral right to waste It, and thus needlessly to shorten the period of Its lasting, and prematurely to inflict unknown and unmeaaurabla hard ships upon those who come after It. Of f some things we may be profligate with Im punity, since they are Inexhaustible and not susceptible of Impairment. But of all things which are limited In quantity we are the cusodlans for posterity as well aa present users. We may grant that present use Is the first oonsldsrattsn. Even If the coal supply were likely to be exhausted next year, we should have a right to use It this year. But discrimination between use and waste Is needful. We should be Justified In using that which we needed, even lf In so doing the very next genera tion would be deprived of It, but we are not Justified In wasting anything, even if the deprivation will not be felt for a dosen or a hundred generations.

That the discarding of shoes will not prevent the sveuring of the toe hold in tho catch-SH-catch-con wrestling was shown here tonlnht when Frank Gotch of Iowa defeated Kn-d Hcoll of Wisconsin for the American champion ship.

When the match whs made Beell Insisted that the wearing of shoos should be barred ss he believed that under those conditions Gotch could not obtain his famous toe hold. Beell put up a great fight to win, and although he secured the second fall In less time than it took Gotch In either of the two falls he sorured, the Wisconsin man lacked the weight to de feat such a clever man aa Gotch, Gotch won the first fall In thlrty-Blx minutes with a toe hold and bar lock. The absence of shoes was a handicap to Gotch, but after nearly thirty minutes of work he came out of a tangle of legs and arms with a Arm clasp of B-HI's left foot and It was only a matter of a few seconds until the tatter's shoulders were pinned tightly to the canvas.
