SHERIXK.K In accordance with their annual custom, the veterans of the civil war held their memorial services yesterday, Abe Lincoln post. Grand Army of the Republic, and Woman's Relief corps at the First Con gregational church In the afternoon and Encampment No. &, Union Veteran's legion, and the Woman's auxiliary at the Broad way Methodist church In the evening. The services of the Grand Army poet were simpler than those of the Union Veteraa legion, as they lacked the ritualistic exer cises of the latter organisation, but they were none the less Impressive and Inspiring. At the First Congregational church, which was decorated with the national colors. Rev. Dr. O. O. Smith took as the subject of his address to the veterans "Liberty," and as his text, "But now they desire a better country," Hebrews Utl6, saying In part: "Looking and longing for liberty and not flnatng it upon the earth, man has looked up Into the trackless blue with a longing heart, and out of the Immeasurable depths God has spoken to htm, and from the far away visions of freedom have come to him and enlarged his soul, till at last he has stood up and demanded of the tyrant liberty. It Is this simple and yet all im portant fact which has Impressed the na tion with the worth of the men who fell upon the fields of the aunny south almost linlf a century ago. "The young nation grew like giant, but with a frlglitful dtueas? attacking one part of his body, and It was not Ion till this nation faced the question, 'Is human freedom for the white race only?' "Tou men who sit before me this evening, with whitened hair and with the "roar of the cannon still ringing In your ears, know what It cost this nation to settle this question. "Standing then today in the presence of our sacred dead may we not dedicate our lives to the breaking of the yoke of bond age that certain men are placing upon the necks of the people. "The five steps now to be taken toward freedom are: The destruction of the liquor traffic, overcoming the unjust use. of money, correcting the unreasonable demands of labor, repudiating the unrighteous classifi cation of society, and freeing man from the bondage of modern commercialism, which hinders hts freedom to worship God. "Mav we all so live and toll that gov ernment 'of the people, by the people and for the people' may not perish from the earth, and the folds of this glorious flag continue to be as unsullied as they were when you soldiers handed It back to the nation after the war of the 60's." In torn Veteraa Legion Berrien. Tbe aervlcea of the Union Veteran legion at Broadway church attracted a congre gation which filled the large auditorium. The calling of the roll showed that death had bereft Encampment No. 8 of five mem bers during the last year. Hon. Charles M. Harl, who delivered the oration, paid the veterans of the civil war a high tribute, not alone as soldiers, but as citizens. Ho said In part: "These annual observances of Memorial day are both pathetic and Inspiring. The lengthening death roll, the gray hair and halting steps which proclaim that for these heroio aurvlvora of ' an heroic epoch the purpling ahadowa of Ufa's evening are gathering, bring tears to our eyes and pain to our hearts, but the remembrance of their devotion to duty and the example they have given of our beat cltlsenahlp, ia an Inspiration to nobler living and greater devotion to the Institutions which have been preserved by their valor. "During the four decades since the sur render at Appomattox the surviving vet erans of the armies of the union ' have been potent factora In writing our hiatory and shaping the destinies of the nation. Four of these veterans have since that time been elevated to the presidency of the United States and In every rank and walk of life, political and civil, haa their In fluence been felt. We can thtia to aome extent form an estimate of these men, both as soldiers and civilians, and can In some small degree measure their services to the nation and civilization. It Is to their eternal honor that they have measured up as fuliy to the duties of citizenship in civil life as they did upon the field of battle. "With advancing years and ripened ex perience there haa come to them the con servatism which accompanies the Judgment of age, but they have always been for progress. Their eyes have been turned not to the past but to the future, and they have met with patriotism and wisdom all of the many problems with which as citi zens they have been confronted In forty years of peace. These veterana have recog nised that thla Is a government of law; that the very foundation upon which our liberties rest. Is to be found In the con stitution and the law enacted In conformity therewith." Service at Preaaytertaa Cnnreh. At the Presbyterian church memorial services were held last evening under the direction of the Men'a club. While neither of the old soldiers' organisations sttended In a body, there were quite number of the veterana among the congregation. The service waa a moat Interesting one, the musical numbers being especially note worthy. The latter Including the singing by Jo Barton of "The Song of a Thousand Tears" and of Kipling's "Recessional." by Miss Grace Barr. Bhort addresses appro priate to the object of the aervlcea were made by Judge George Carson. W. E. Mc Connell. Dr. A. C. Brown and Rev. Marcua P. McClure, the pastor. appoint the street commissioner, city phy sician, city electrician, roll tax collector, poundmaster, custodian of city buildings, superintendent of markets and chief of police. Heretofore the mayor appointed the chief of police only, while with the excep tion of superintendent of markets all other officers were elected by the city council. Heretofore the welghmaster or superin tendent of markets, wss elected by the people at the regular city election. The fire and llaht committee will report tonUjht, having secured a Mr. Stewart, em ployed In the Union Pacific operating de partment, to make an expert examination of the electric light towers ordered by the council at Its last meeting. POLICE 8 TOP COCKI5Q MAIM Thlrtr-Elsrht Roosters and "umber ol Sports Captured Sunday, Two roosters from the packing house town on the other side of the Missouri river had bitten the dust and a third was about to receive his coup de grace when the police swooped down on a cocking main between South Omaha and Council Bluffs sports which was being pulled off among the willows at Thirty-eighth street and Eighth avenue near the Union Pacific dump yesterday afternoon. The "pit," with sanded floor and canvas sides, hsd been pitched in a secluded spot in the willows and crowd of about 100 sports from South Omaha and thla city was gathered to witness the sport, which the police Interrupted In the midst of the third main. When Detective Keellne, followed by De tectives Gallaghan and Wilson and Patrol men Phllbrook and Gillespie, appeared on the scene there was rapid scattering of the sports, most of whom made a quick run for the tall timber. The owners of the birds and those who had some bets to set- tie stayed and. together with two wagon I loads of roosters, were taken to polioe I headquarters. A. Snell, C. Williams and Dell Green, the ! South Omaha men who owned the birds I and headed the delegation from that city. put up H5 each for their appearance In po lice court this morning, while J. T. Mon fort, the Bluffs fancier, put up J28 for his appearance. All of the others were re leased on their own recognisances. The fighting roosters, thirty-eight In cumber, were held by the police, together with all the paraphernalia. Including weighing scales, spurs and other equipment. "If the South Omaha sports want to have ! cocking mains they must fight their rocst i ers on their own dunghills. They cannot pull off auch fights on this side or me ) river." was the declaration oi major mond, .chief of police, last evening. Matting and linoleum. Stockert Carpet Co.

(Special.) Just how much Elmer Pratt, the slayer of W. F. Connell. means when he declares that "a man has a right to protect hie life and his home." la the knotty question that is being discussed In Iowa City and John son county today. .Pratt himself, acting on the advice of his attorneya. haa refused to make any further statement. It la now known that there were no wlt nes.es to the shooting. Connell had spent the entire day In the city, leaving the office of County Attorney MacDonald at about 6:80 to drive to hla home alx miles from here. About 7:M hie wife, Mra. Kate Boarte Connell, and her brother. John Boarta, Jr., who were then at the Connell home, were aroused by a ahot which was fired but a short distance from the house. Rushing Into the yard they discovered the team walking up from the gate with the unconscious form of William Connell In the carriage. The charge from the shotgun had entered his head, arm and back, and seven of the leaden pellets were Imbedded In the back of the carriage seat. Connell was lifted from the carriage, but died immediately In the arms of his wife. Meanwhile Pratt, who now admits having fired the shot, re turned to his home, which Is only eighty rods from the Connell nome, and notified 8. K. 6tevenson, his brother-in-law, In this city of the fact that he was ready to give himself up. The coroner has not concluded his Investigation. Since the tragedy occurred Mrs. Pratt Is reported to have declared that Connell had shot at her husband several days ago, but no other evidence of thla fact has been secured. The report that Connell had In sulted Mrs. Pratt Is emphatically denied. That bad feeling existed between the two men for years has been a matter of com mon knowledge, but there haa been no In timation that the 'quarrel might proceed to auch extreme lengths. Charlton Man Kills Himself. CHARITON. Ia., May 26. J. E. Brown, a prominent business maa after partaking of a hearty breakfast this morning, went to his room and put a bullet through his brain.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DBS MOINES. May JH-( Special. KGen ator Thomas Chealilrs of this city, chair man of the Iowa delegation at the Inter state Senatorial Amendment convention that met In Dea Molnea last December, has received Information that six statea adopted the resolution to conrvss asking for the calllnR of a constitutional convention amending the constitution of the United States so that the people may vote direct on United States senators. These statea are Nebraska. Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado and Iowa. There may have been others, but they have not notified Senator Cheshire. There are a great many of the southern states In which the legislatures meet the coming summer, and It is antici pated that In many of these the resolution will be passed. There were thirty-three state legislatures to meet during the year 1937. This Is about enough to force congress to call the con vention If all act. It haa been variously reported that about twenty or more states I have passed the resolution In years gone ! by, but the convention that met here last December decided that the resolution had not been passed In the proper form by any legislature and hence that It was neces sary to begin all over again and pass the resolution right. The convention therefore drafted a form of resolution which It rec ommended to the various legislatures, and the six that have acted hava adopted that form. Owing to delay of one kind or another, the committee appointed by that convention to conduct the campaign waa unable to get the printed proceedings of the convention Into the hands of the various legislatures till late In the winter. Now that the printed copies have been out for some weeks, It Is proposed to prosecute the campaign with some vigor snd keep the matter before the various legislatures so that the required number will pass the resolution. It Is the expectation of those following the matter that, with those adopting the resolution during the year 1907, a sufficient number of the remaining state legislatures, all of which meet during 1906, can be Induced to act, so that the matter can be brought up In congress when It meets in l&nB. It Is the Intention to prosecute the campaign and the matter will not be allowed to be dropped till the required number of state legislatures have acted. It may be that It may become necessary to call another meeting of the convention that was In session here last December. The convention effected a perm anent organization at .that time and ar ranged for rules to govern the body, mak ing it a permanent organization. Arrange ments were also made for calling another convention In case , such a proceedings should be deemed necessary. It Is now be lieved, however, that, another convention will not be necessary. The action of two thirds of the states Of the union is neces sary and the committee considers that with eight states as a starter it Is doing very well, considering the fact that the printed proceedings were Belayed and have been published but about three months. Military Maneuvers for Iowa. Iowa will the coming summer experience real genuine military maneuvers. They will be thoroughly scientific and are guaranteed to be genuine. Adjutant General Thrift of the Iowa National Guard has secured the oo -operation of tbe regular army officers at the military college at Fort Leaven worth, Kan. There will be fifteen or eigh teen of the officers from the military col lege here to direct the maneuvers. Partici pating In them will be the 8,000 officers and men of the Iowa National Guard. There will be a considerable detachment of oav- airy from Fort Des Moines. There will be the signal corps from the military college at Fort Leavenworth and details of .ar tillery from other forte. Every arm of the military service will be represented In these maneuvers, the state of Iowa furnishing only the Infantry. These maneuvers will be held north of this city. Major Boughton of Fort Leaven worth Is now planning the problems that will be solved then. . The main problem will be the capture of the Corydon bridge across the Des Moines liver. The forces will be divided Into two parts and the present In tention Is to establish one of these at Slater, up near Polk City, and the other about six miles north of Des Moines. The grounds over which the maneuvers will be held will be easily accessible from this city by lnterurban lines, and it Is the ex pectation that large crowds will attend. The maneuvers will last for five or six days and excursions will be run to bring In the people of the state who care to wit ness It Furthermore, In addition to the officers of the regular army who will par ticipate. It la anticipated that there will be larsre number of high officials who will be her to witness the maneuvers. Includ ing some representatives of foreign coun tries for the reason that the government will tl,1s year have no maneuvers of this kind, due to the changing of the forces from the Philippines to other countries. Officers and men of the Iowa National Guard are enthusiastic over the idea. They have never been given such an opportunity to see maneuvers and scientific military in struction. Maa Won't Stay Fired. The Waverly health officer, whom the State .Board of Health caused to be re moved last year because he refused to quarantine a case of scarlet fever, pro nounced so by a member of the state board, Is again back Into office, The State Board of Health would like very much to have him out of there, but have no way to force his removal again. Thla situation has caused the raising of the question as to the functlona and au thority of the State Board of Health. Dur ing hla term of office Attorney General Mul len gave hla opinion that the State Boarl of Health had practically unlimited power as long aa It exercised It for the benefit of the public health or to preserve the public health. But. in spite of lu unlimited authority, the state board finds itself handi capped and unable to move In more mat ters than one. If slcknesa prevails In a county It can aend an officer there to Investigate and can quarantine the case and charge the entire bill to the county, but the board haa all aorta of trouble later trying to collect Ita bills and the local county boards and the boards of supervisors nearly always ob ject and aome times absolutely refuse to pay them. The board also has considerable difficulty In enforcing the rules which the unlimited authority conferred upon It by the legis lature allows It to make. At the next meet ing of the board It will entirely rewrite Ita rulea and will then rail In the health offi cers of the state and give them a school of Instruction, In the rulea There are hopes that thereafter better work can be done. But at the very first meeting of the legis lature there will be offered a new Isw making the power al the State Board of Use ALLEY'S F00T a r 'A .r.

Educators of lows propose that the school year shall be made longer aa one atep to warda aolvtng the problem of shortage In teachers. It Is pointed out that In no other profession Is a person asked to accept or dinary and even very low wages and then be promised employment for but five to seven months In the year or eight to ten months In the cities. It is proposed that the school year be everywhere ten months. This will give the teachers employment for the greater part ef the year and it la be lieved that then with some Increase In wages paid the profession will be mare nearly on an equality with other profes sions. The statistics in the office of the state superintendent are practically worthless on the matter of the length of the achool year because until last year when Superintend ent Rlggs made a change the method took no account of attendance. Heretofore it haa been the custom In computing the aver age number of montha of achool in Iowa to add together the number of montha In each school and divide this by the total number of schools. But the small schoels with but five months have frequently but five to ten pupils, while the larger achool with ten montha has thousands of scholars. It Is thus readily seen that the average la not the average length of school year offered the children of the state. The number of children in the state In the various schools must be taken into account to obtain that. Last year the number of children waa taken Into account and It waa found that the average school year In Iowa. Is eight and a half months. Very many of the larger cities have nine and a half and ten montha school snd It Is claimed that there Is a well defined movement for a longer ffhool year. Two Nebraska Graduates mt Drake.
