CLIFFORD QUITS SCHOOLS Tender Resignation to Position to Which He Was Just Ee-elected. TWO OFFERS FROM THE EAST Part ef Time o Be Glren Foreatrr Hervlre and Remainder to the Philadelphia Pobllo rkoola. Prof. Wpulry N. Cllfforil. superintendent of the public schools of Council llluffa, to which position he was re-elected for another year, but a few wppks ago has notified TresMent Emmet Tlnley of the. Board of Kducaflon that he Intended tendering his rrRlgnatlon to take effect September 1. The announcement that Superintendent Clifford Intended leaving Council Bluffs came aa a great surprise to President Tln ley aa It did to the other members of tha board when they learned of It later In the afternoon. Mr Clifford has received two flattering offers of work elsewhere which he has decided to accept. The offer of one position comes from the National Fortestry department at Washing ton, D. C, and the other cornea from Phil adelphia where he has been offered the position of the head of the Department of Commerce In the boya high achool. Mr. Clifford has decided to accept both positions. The forestry department Is anx ious to secure hla services and Mr. Clifford la not willing to give up entirely hla school work, . Forester Plnchet, head of the for estry department, rather than lose Mr. Clifford's services suggested that he devote part of his tlmo to the work of that depart ment and the other part to his work In the Philadelphia High school. This arrange ment Mr. Clifford was assured by the school authorities of Philadelphia would bj entirely satisfactory to them. Mr. Clifford will leave today for Eldora, where during thla week he will act as one of the Instructors at the Hardin county Institute. From Eldora Mr. Clif ford will on Saturday go to Washington to confer with Forester PInchot. The work; that the forestry department wishes Mr. Clifford to undertake Is to prepare material for use In the public schools throughout the country. In other words, it Is proposed by the department to make Mr. Clifford the connecting link between the public schools of the coun try and the teacher in them and the educational work of the national depart ment of forestry. When seen yesterday afternoon Mr. Clif ford said: "There are many reasons why I should accept the offers I have received from Washington and Philadelphia. In the first place, they offer larger re muneration and, In fact, either of them would mean bigger compensation than that of the position here. Then, again, oth positions are practically for life, and will not be subjected to re-election at the end of each school year. The posi tions will be free from the responsibility which I have had here. They will af ford tne ' the opportunity to teach and also to attend the University of Pennsyl vania, where I hope to take an advanced degree. It will also afford an opportunity for my daughter to attend Bryn Mawr cotktftft ft 'ofna 'other : leading- college in the immediate-vicinity of Philadelphia and still remain at home. This is in Itself a great Inducement for me to accept these offers. At the same time I sincerely re gret leaving Council Bluffs, where I have so many friends both In and out of the fechools." On returning from Washington Mr. Clif ford will rrmaln In Council Bluffs until September to finish up the work of or ganliatlon for tho new school year which opens Monday, September 7. Mr. Clifford was elected principal of the high school lit l!W8 to succeed Prof. H. B. Hayden, who was promoted to the posi tion of superintendent of the North Des Moines High school. In 1900 Mr. Clifford was elected superintendent and only re cently was re-elected to the position for an other year. During the period of his lup crlntendency the work in the public schools of this, city has attracted the attention of the leading educators of the country.

HULL M PERMIT RECOUNT Intimation He Will Withdraw Dallas County Injunction. STATE BOARD STILL UNDECIDED Attorney General Asked to Interpret Xew Primary I.nw with Reference to Filling; preme Conrt Vacancy-. DES MOINES. July 19 (Special.) Con gressman J. A. T. Hull may withdraw his Injunction proceedings, preventing the re count of the v;)ts In Dallas county. His attorney. Judge W. E. Miller. adtied to day that the captain Is tired of the whole tlon. Friends of Congressman Hull say to day that the Captain Is tired of the whole matter and will allow a recount In order to settle tho question one way or the other. Judge Miller declared today that the I'routy men could start court action If they would that would force the matter Into the cnurta at once and get a settlement now, but that Judge Prouty would not permit this, and ns Hull could not start It the matter was hung up. Hull's only recourse therefore, Is to permit the recount though he claims that the ballots have been tam pered with since the election. The form of the question which the exe cutive council has submitted to Attorney General Uyers regarding the canvas of the returns now before that body Is as follows: Does the primary law require the exe cutive council to canvass the returns In tho Seventh district with respect to congress man before the fifth Thursday following the date of the conventions In the coun ties of the district? General Byers took the matter up today and Is working on the question. Judge Prouty said today that all he asks is the recount of the Dallas county vote and that If It favors Hull he will not whim per and if It favors him he will expect Hull's support. He claims that the Dallas board of supervisors which will make the recount consists of two Hull men and one democrat, hut that they are honest men and he will abide by the result of their work If the recount Is made. At the congressional convention this af ternoon all counties of the district were represented except Dallas. Hull delegates were not present except a few who took no part. After forming a permanent organiza tion the convention took a recess till next Thursday at 2 o'clock. Many In Field. Governor Cummlna has asked Attorney General Byers for an opinion on the mat ter of filling the vacancy on the supreme bench by an election of candidates nomi nated by the parties this year. As an nounced yesterday, Governor Cummins Is disposed to believe that It will be possible to have nominations made for the Novem ber election, but though he Indicated this very strongly to delegations calling on him In the Interests of the appointment of can didates he did not take the stand definitely. He has asked Attorney General Byers for his opinion. It Is understood that Governor Cummins takes the position that because the law re quires him to make a proclamation of the election with the vacancies and positions o be filled that he must Include this vacancy on the supreme bench, and that If thi r done .then to carry out the 'r.teiit of the law there must be party nominations. These nominations, under tho old law, would be by a state convention, the delegates to which would be selected under the caucus and convention system, and since the pri mary election law does not provide any means of recalling the old convention or selecting a new one by the primary, then the convention must be convened under the caucus and convention system. It Is understood that there will be a large number of candidates for the position. The fact is there is no candidate among those now suggested that la In the lead. Judge W. H. McHenry of the Polk county court, and also Judges Howe and Miller of the same court, are In the field. Judge H. M. Towner of Corning, Judge Green of Audu bon and Judge Church of Jefferson are all known to be candidates. There Is talk of Congressman Blrdsall of Clarion entering the race. Hnnchett President. A. P. Hancheit was elected prtsldent of the Stato Board of Medical Examiners at the annu.il meeting of the board which has been in session several days this week. A. M. Linn of Dts Moines was elected pres ident of the State Board of Health, the me.ub.-rship of the two boards bjing th same. Dr. L. A. Thomaa of Red Oak waa elected secretary of both boards and tha office force remains the same as fornu-rly. At the meetings of the board a tcludulo of minimum requlremtnts for equipment for medical colleges was adopted and a list cf nurses' training schools was passed upon. Rehearing; on It educed Rates. A rehea.lng has lean grai.tel by tho executive committee of the Western Pas senger association on the problem of re duced rates to state fairs, and ihe fact that a r ..-hearing has bem granted Is take,) as strongly Indicating that tha reduction may now be granted. Secretary S.mpson of tho Iowa slate fair today received word of tho rehtarlng, which will be n-xt Thurs day In Chicago. At the hearing in May lust the reduction was refused, if the re duction Is now granted it will be applic able to all state fairs, including those of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Minne sota. Lefore the 2-cent fare laws were passed by these states the state fairs were given a rate of 1 cents a mile or 3 cents for th round trip. Since the passage of tne l cent fare laws no reduced rata has been given and It has been taken as an Intent on the part of the railroads to punish the state for passing the laws. Every effort failed to get a reduction for last year's fairs and the request was turned down at the May meeting of the Western Passenger assoc atlon committee. Secretary Simpson Is a member of the committee of the asso ciation of fairs and expositions that has the matter In charge and he Is hopeful that on the rehearing the request will b granted. It meana much In the matter of attendance at all the western fairs. The rehearing will be next Thursday In Chicago and it Is proposed to take delega tions of business men to Chicago to at tend and use their influence. his Joy, he kpt muttering constantly, "Sixteen to one for Heaven.''

The force of clerks In the office of Rob ert Persons of South Dakota, auditor for the Interior department, la to be moved from the Treaaury department to new quar ters in tho Union building on G street. The work of moving the auditor's office Is now going on and visitors to the Treasury department are made aware of this by the presence of clerks and desks In the cor ridors. The files of the Interior depart ment occupy 17,000 square feet of space In the fourth corridor of the building on tho Fifteenth street side and In the middle corridor of the fourth floor, and every inch of this space will be used Just as soon aa the necessary changes can be made and tin rooms fitted up for clerks. J The growth of business of the Treasury dopartme.it' has been so pronounced In the last few years that It has become neces sary to rent space in various office build ings to enable the several bureaus of the dermrtmcnt to transact public business. With the removal of the force of tho auditor for the Interior department and the 17.000 square feet that will thus be made available, the treaaury officials will not have any more space than can be used. This is explained by the statement that within three years more than 300 employes have been added to the force, and at pres ent a large addition has been made neces sary by legislation providing for emer gency currency and the nutting In of new machinery.
