Dismissing the suit of R. W. Joties In
district court Saturday, Judge tMacy up
held the constitutionality of the law creat
ing the Board of Fire and Police Commis
sioners, and made the positions of officers
and members of the two departments under
civil service regulations still more certain.
This decision will affect over 10,000 mem
bers of the various fire and police depart
ments of Iowa, and gives them practically
life tenure of their positions, as the law
passed by the legislature recently creating
Dre and police board placea the members
under clrll service rules.
Suit attacking the validity and constitu
tionality of the law was Instituted last
April, to be heard at the October term, by
R. W. Jones, deposed from the chleftancy
of the firs department In favor of C. M.
Nicholson.
Saunders A Stewart, attorneys for Jones,
argued that the provision ordering the ap
pointment of two members of the board
from the dominant political party, and the
other members from the party having the
next highest vote, was distinctly unconsti
tutional. Tho defense combntted this claim.
Testimony was not Introduced In the case
It being argued on an agreed statement of
facts. The case occupied the greater part
of the day, the decision not being given
until mid-afternoon.
J B. Sullivan, candidate for governor or
the democratic ticket two years ago, was
associated with 8. B. Wadsworth for the
defense.

SCHOOL TEACHERS WIS A VICTOR V

Boards to Grand
j Raise.
That the doughty little school ma'ams
of Pottawattamie county have acored an
unquestioned victory In a quiet little war
of their own, la shown by the school, rec
ords since the opening of the' school year.
Demanding a general raise In wages of an
average of $6, making the pay $40 and $46
per month In place of the former $35 and
$40, their demands met with unconcerted
but general denial. This resulted in a
delay of from one week to ono month In
the opening of many of the schools, de
pending upon the length of time It took
trie school boards to come to time. Two
weeks ago all had capitulated but some
eight or ten of the more remote schools.
Today there are but two schools In the
county which are not running, and these
are In that condition, not from refusal
to pay the wages, but because the supply
of teachers Is short. And this condition
lends a rosy color to the hopes of the
teachers that they can soon force another
$5 raise, possibly at the opening of the
winter term. As there are 260 country
schools alone In the county, this may close
a large number of schools.
In Crescent, where a strike was Inaugu
rate some time ago for a raise of $10 and
a Janitor, by the four teachers employed,
the board has succeeded In keeping school
l running with a deficiency of one teacher
and a raise of but $5. The fourth teacher

HULL SAYS ARMY LIFE IS HARD
Attempt to Make Pnrkhorses Oat of
Men line Effect of Prerent-Ing-
rte-enlistment.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 20. (Special Tele
gram.) Congressman J. A. T. Hull, chair
man of the military affairs committee of
the house, said today that the army Is in
bad condition because of two things, the
general prosperity and high wages, and On
the other hand much unnecessary work and
hardship caused by practice marches and
maneuvers. He said:
"The condition of the army Is as bad as
It can be. The article In the Army and
Navy Journal, giving figures showing that
many of the r-empantee In many regiments
have no enlisted men In them af all Is all
true. There Is no lack 'of martial spirit
In America, and If war should Drean out
the regiments would rapidly fill up and
there would be no ' lack of recruits; but
In times of peace men will not stand hard
ships. There is no occasion or reason In
times of peace for making packhorses out
of the soldiers. They resent the overwork
and as a result will not rc-enllst. Increased
wages will do a little toward relieving the
conditions, but not a great deal. The remedy
does not rest with congress; it rests with
