PES MOINES. April Zl -(Special. I-The
aew state educational board met here to
day upnn call of the governor, all being
present, and Informally orgnnlr.ed. No
complete organisation was effected and II
was understood that the members rrac
tlcolly agree that the complete organiza
tion anl the. selection of the managing
hoard of three will be left until a later
data.
It la regarded certain that either J. H.
Trewin r A. . Funk will be the presi
dent of the- board. It developed today that
Governor Carroll Is In favor of a ejection
Of the. finance committee soon, and that
pe favors the enrlre of W. C. McChesney
of Iowa City. Alfred Orundy of Cedar
rails and either W. J. Dixon of Sac City
r Ot Ro of Story county. If this division
la mad, then each college will be, In a
aanae, represented on the managing com
mute. There Is serious disagreement at the col
lege at Ames over the program. The
atrlctly agricultural Interests desire there
shall not be selected for either of the three
position anyone who has been Intimately
aHc!atd with the management of cither
college. This leave out all of the per
sons nsmad except Roe. The desire of
the persons most Intimately connected with
the colleges Is to have the general board
organize and open an office, visit the in
stitutions and decide In ft general way
upon the policy to be pursued, and thus
formulate a plan for the work of the man
. aging committee and later select the per
sona for this post.
The commission will have offices In com
mittee rooms at the rear of the senate
chamber, at least temporarily, and it Is
planned that a trip will be taken very soon
to the various Institutions.
Crops Arc Backward.
Farmers In central Iowa, according to
the Iowa weather and crop bureau, have
been prevented from sowing their wheat
and aats for so long by the wet and cold
weather that many of them are abandon-
Ing tha thought of amall grain and are
preparing their fields for corn. 8ome few
farmers have their small grain In the
ground. All the amall grain Is usually In
the ground at this time of the year, and
farmers are ready to start their plowing
for corn, but thus far not a farmer has
been able to plow except on the lUgli land.
All farm operations are from ten days to
two weeks, behind the usual schedule.

Oeart In Its Own Defense.
Th supreme court Is being attacked
for alleged petty graft and especially
for having private offices for the UBe of
th Judges In which are located folding
beda which may be used on occasion. The
criticism started because of a decision
of the court a few years ago holding that
a certain state official had virtually
stolen money from the state and that of
ficial la now "getting back" at the court.
The members of the court explain that
the private offices In the court chambers
were provided in the original plar. of
th capitol and the folding beds were
placed there more than twenty-five yearn
ago- With reference to the cmplomen:
, by members of their own families as
atenographers it is explained that these
act In a confidential capacity and leally
as private secretaries.
Another Stat Farm Sonant.
The State Board of Control has just
closed a deal for a farm of 207 acres
near the state prison at Fort Madison for
the use of that institution, paying $77.50
an acre therefor. This will give every
Institution of th state except the blind
college some land for agricultural pur
poses. .1 1 ci r J7

Efforts of Her Attorney to Have Her

MERCER, Ta., April a It was learned
here tonight that the effort of former
Judge Miller, counsel for Mrs. James H.
Boyle In the Whltla abduction case, to
have the Ohio courts claim Jurlsa'ct on
over the woman, had fallen flat. The
Ohl') authorities expect to take no action
In the case unless the woman's convic
tion In Pennsylvania should fall. Had the
Cleveland officials desired Mrs. Boyle,
habeas corpus proceedings could have
been Instituted on the ground of the prior
Indictment In that state. However, tha
Ohio authorities have agreed to let her
be tried here first on account of the
more stringent, laws of this state.
Judge Millet hns not returned and It Is
understood he is endeavoring to secure
witnesses to establish an alibi for Mrs.
Boyle. Attorney T. C. Cochran, mho will
prosecute the cases, raid:
"Grand Jury Indictments against the
Boyle charging kidnaping wilt be re
turned Friday morning. The trials will
begin next Monday. There will te sepa
rate trials, Boyle being arraigned flrat.
In my opinion, convictions will be se
cured In both cases."
At least six witnesses will appear be
fore the grand Jury on Friday. They are
Mr. and Mrs. Whltla. their son Willie,
Janitor Sloss of the Sharon public school,
who talked with the abductor; Liveryman
Thompson of South Sharon, who rented
the horse and bue,gy to the abductor and
n unnamed witness from Warren, O.

on his relatives for enough money to buy

taken as evidence of the truth of the re
port that she Is from a prominent and

tity of mall she receives from there. It

Doty n liswsa.
NEW YORK. April 21. A summer trip to
Europe for a stay of Indefinite length has
been decided upon by B. H. Harriman.
This will be his first trip abroad since he
wss operated on for appendicitis several
years ago and will give him opportunity
for a rest. The recent western trip was
Intended to be a vacation outing, but his
Interests In the regions he traversed were
so extensive that he was fairly compelled
to business activity and the trip was far
from a restful one. Since his return Mr.
Harriman has been giving considerable at
tention to the affairs of the corporations
In which he Is Interested and it is now
believed that a genuine period of recreation,
away from all contact with business
matters Is necessary to give him the re
laxation he would have. He probably will
sail about the middle of June.
Mr. Hfrrlman tonight denied that hi
contemplated visit to Europe was by order
of his physician as reported in some
quarters today.
"I am going to Europe," h said, "simply
because I want to go. If I were under
medical order for rest I would not be
spending the day at my office where I am
a very busy man.
"It is well enough known that I am
shifting some of my burdens. That may
account for the extra time that I shall
have at my disposal. It means simply
that Instead of going out to California as
I did last year, I shall get a vacation this
season on the other side of the ocean."

The Michigan . Sugar company, which
