SCIIOOL BOARD ENJOINED Member Killpack Object to Payment of Clifford's Expeniei. SUFERLJTTENDOT ROW IN EAST Did Not Draw Money Voted by Board Uefore Ilia Departure and Utlnt tloa lie May Not Care to Accept It Under Circumstances. The question of the right of the Board of Kducatlon to defray the traveling ex penses of Superintendent W. N. Clifford to and from the meeting of the National As sociation of Superintendents at Washington, D. C, Is to be determined by the courts. W. II. Killpack, member of the board. yesterday secured from Judge Snyder of the superior court a temporary Injunction restraining the other members of the board, Secretary D. L. Ross and School Treasurer G. S. Davis, from reimbursing Superintendent Clifford for the expenses of the trip on which he Is at present ab sent from the city. In lils petition Mr. Killpack also calls attention to the fact that the board has been paying the rental of a telephone In Superintendent Clifford's residence at an expense to the school district of $24 a year. The allegation Is made that the telephone Is maintained for Mr. Clifford's personal use, not only while the schools are In ses sion, but also during vacations. An order restraining the board from paying for the telephone henceforth ia also asked by Mr, Killpack. At a recent meeting of the Board of Kd ucatlon superintendent Clifford was granted a ten days' leave of absence to at tend the meeting in Washington of the Na tlonal Association of Superintendents and to visit schools in some of the larger cities In the east. Mr. Clifford asked that as his trip was primarily tn the Interests of the public schools, of Council Bluffs that his traveling expenses be defrayed out of the funds of the school district. He did not ask to be reimbursed for his personal ex penses while away. Before making this request Mr. Clifford referred tho matter to State Superintendent Rlggs, and the latter said that It was within the authority of the board to allow these expenses. Daala of Action. Mr. Killpack at the meeting In question opposed allowing Mr.- Clifford his traveling expenses,, and stated that he probably would take the matter Into the' courts to teat the right of the board. In his petition, Mr. Killpack seta forth that he Is a member of the Board of Edu cation and also a taxpayer In the Independ ent school district of Council Bluffs, and as such he Is Interested In the expenditure of funds of the school district by the board. As a taxpayer of the school district, Mr. Killpack states he Is damaged by the action of the board in paying Mr. Clifford's ex penses to Washington, which, he says, will amount to about $73. lie also calls atten tion to the 'fact that the leave of absence was granted him under full pay of $50 week. - " The petition also sets forth that the con tingent fund of. the school district Is now overdrawn $10,444.58 and claims that the al lowance of Mr. Clifford's, traveling expenses will further Increase the deficiency, and by reason of that deficiency, he, the plaintiff and other taxpayers, are damaged. Upon Mr. Killpack filing the required bond, Judge Snyder Issued the temporary restraining order. The hearing In the action will not come up before the March term of superior court. May Not Draw Money. "Mr. Clifford has not drawn any money and may tiot care to do so now," said Sec retary Rosa yesterday. "The state superin tendent of publlo Instruction, to whom the matter was referred, says It is a legal ex penditure. Mr. Clifford Informed the board at the time the matter came up that he did not want his expenses to be paid, If it were Illegal." President Tlnley of the Board of Educa tion, when notified of the action brought by Mr. Killpack, said: "The action of the board waa merely a business proposition In the Interests of the public schools of this city. It waa a proposition that no private corporation of the magnitude of the school district would hesitate about for a moment. If, however, the expenditure Is Illegal, .It will not be made. I do not know whether Mr. Clifford now epects to take advantage of the offer of the board to pay his travel ing expenses to the meeting of the National Association of Superintendents In Washing ton or not.'

According to Mrs. Caffrey's story, ah went to Omaha Thuraduy evening, taking with her McMurray'a daughter, leaving Mrs. McMurray alone In the house.

As had been exported, the heavy enow was responsible for tho tardy arrival of several of the members, and in consequence the attendance at the opening session In the morning waa somewhat small. W. P. Wortman of the Majvern Leader, president of the association, called the meeting to order and announced that the opening paper, "The Charity of the Country Editor Toward Hla Fellows," by E. EX Lrwis of the Atlantic Farmers Messenger would be read by the secretary, as Mr. Lewis was unable to be present. In his paper Mr. Lewis declared that no people have greater opportunities for charity and none make more of their advantages In that direction than do the country editors. The paper dealt In some detail upon the opportunities of the country editor for do ing good and evil In the community . hi which hla paper circulated. The balance of the morning session waa devoted to a "discussion of Editor Lewis' paper, aa E. H. Leffert of this city, who was to hate read a paper on "Newspaper Advertising," was unable to be present, but sent his manuscript, the reading of which was postponed to the afternoon session. The first order of business at the after noon session was the election of officers. Mr. Stevens, who was re-elected secretary treasurer, has held that office since the or ganization of the association. As State Senator Saunders was called un expectedly to Des Moines he Was unable to tell the association "What Shall We Do With the Candidate" and this number on the program had to be' dispensed with. Colonel Saunders had consented to take up this subject, which had originally been assigned to Senator Jamleson of Shenan doah, but a few days ago he notified the committee he could not attend. Rev. Peter Jacobs, pastor of the Method Ut church at Silver City, gave an Interest ing talk on "The Press and Pulpit," In which he took occasion to thank all those In the newspaper business for their many kindnesses and courtesies to the clergy.

FIGHT OVER EXPRESS RATES Railway Commission Announcet it Will Adopt a Distance Tariff. COMPANIES AITN01TICE FIGHT Before Promulgating Srhednle Com mission Will Investigate Property Owned by Companies and tke Coat of Service. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 22.-(Speclal.)-Th State Railroad commission, at the conclu sion of an exteuded conference with the Iowa shippers and representatives of the express companies, today announced a de cision as to the plan to be pursued In the trfatter of making a revision of tho express rates In the state. The attorney general of the atate had rendered an opinion to the effect that under recent legislation the ex press companies are on a par with the rail road companies and other common car riers and that it would be necessary to make a schedule of express rates for Iowa having due regard to the long and short haul Idea and on a strictly mileage basis. But the attorneys for the companies en tered Into an argument to show that this was not good law. This halted the com mission for a time. But In the end the commission announced Just at noon today that the decision of the attorney general would govern. ' The commission made further announce ment that tt was ready to proceed soon to make a thorough Investigation of the ex press rate matters, to inquire Into the ex tent of the business and its profits,' and would, summon agents and demand the books of the companies, and would go Into the matter of investments and fixed values and other items with a view to ascertaining what la the actual profit In the business conducted. This Is something not before attempted tn Iowa, and the attorneys gave notice that the companies would resist In evary possible way In the'eourts. It thus becomes apparent that a big fight Is on aa between the Iowa shippers and the express com panies. The movement for new rates Is backed by the Iowa Association of Manu facturers and similar organizations. There has been general complaint of rates for a long time, but the commission has not be. fore had time to take up the matter. In fact until recent years there has been no disposition on the part of the commission to consider express rates at all. New Fair Building. The state department of agriculture to day let the contract to J. B. MoGorrlsk and others for a new administration or office building on the state fair grounds. The building will be a large one of two stories. with double veranda all around, occupying a central place on the grounds. It will ao- commodate all the offices and have rest rooms and a restaurant. The department will pay for it out of funds on hand. Clear Fight for Auditor. Announcement haa been made here that J. O. Hempel of Clayton county, who haa been regarded as a probable candidate for state auditor and who went so far aa to secure nomination papers, will not be a candidate this year, thus leaving the field clear for a square contest between Senator Hopkins of Guthrie, the Ninth district can didate, and Senator Bleakley of Ida county. Pending Democratic Troubles. The lines are forming in the democratic camp In Iowa and this week the editors of democratic newspapers attack each other savagely. The management of the cam palgn of two years ago Is severely criti cised by the Bryan element of the party, and the conservatives, who happen to con trol the state committee, are denounlng the Bryan people for organising to get control of the party. In the southern part of the state they are divided as to a candl date for congress In the Eighth district, the conservatives desiring McGinn la or Jamie' son and the radicals domandlng the nomlna tion of Porter, who ran for governor. Self-Supporting Women. The campaign conducted by the members of the Young Women's Christian ajisocla tion for funds to erect a building has dis. closed the fact that there are in Dea Moines 6.500 self-supporting women, and that only a small portion of these are connected with the association. Salts Against Saloons. Suits were commenced today In Pavenport to enjoin the owners of a number of saloons and places where drinks have been dis pensed In that city.
