If they cannot defeat It at the hearing to be held before the Board of Supervisors Wednesday, June 23, the fight, It was stated yesterday, would he con tinued in the courts. M. 8. Odle of Des Moines, attorney for the Iowa Anti-Saloon league, was in Goun dl Bluffs yesterday to lend his assistance to the local forces In the fight against the petition of consent. Mr. Odle is responsible foi the statement that the matter would undoubtedly be taken Into tho courts If they did not succeed In defeating tha peti tion before the Board of Superrlaora. "My previous experience In other aoanties has shown me that members of boards of supervisor are not generally familiar with the law, and In order to secure a decision based strictly on the law It ts usually necessary to go to the district court. In some counties I have seen the supervisors declare a statement of consent sufficient when It lacked a large number of the re quisite names. I do not say, however that the supervisors of Pottawattamie coi-nty would do this. ' In fact, we Intend to prevent them, if possible," said Attorney Odle. Mr. Odle declined to make public at this tlrm the plan of the fight that the nntl natoon forces Intend making before the Beard cf Supervisors, beyond that they were still circulating "withdrawal peti tions." "In the event that we fall to In duce epough signers of the consent petition to withdraw their names so as to make it Ineffective we will rsort to other meth ods to defeat it if possible. We have strong hopes df being able to defeat this new general petition of content," declared At torney Odle. Mr. Odle returnee! Isst evening to Pes Moines after , spending the day in confer- erce with R. C. F. Chambers, the district superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, and other leaders in the opposition to the saloons, but expects to return here at the time that the petition will come before ths Beard of Supervisors.

LefferU- DAMAGE BV STORM, SMALL DICK DEVANEY .IS LOCKED VP He Is Charged with Cattlagr Dan Klrley In Fight. . Dick Devaney Is' being held at the city Jail in default of ball, placed at $00, await ing the result of Injuries received by Dan Kli-ley, a machinist, in a ftght'some time after midnight Tuesday night on Sixteenth avenue. Devaney Is said to have slashed Klrley across the abdomen with a knife. Inflicting a wound four inches long. The cut penetrated the abdominal cavity but not, it was salt) yesterday, the intestines. The police, it Is said, have been able to learn but little regarding the trouble be tween Devaney and Klrley, as the latter is extremely reticent concerning It. Devaney . denies cutting Klrley, . although he admits havlne; a fight with him. Klrley, so the police say, declines to tell who did the cutting. ... i . Klrley was found by a policeman hiding behind a fence and was taken to the office of Dr. Bellinger in the midst of the heavy storm. He was given temporary attention and 'then removed to Mercy hospital In a cab. . Information secured by the police led them to look for Devaney and he waa taken Into custody about 2 o'clock in the' morning. Sewers and Indian Creek Carry Off ' tha Flood. " Mayor Maloney and Street Commissioner Flood made a tour of the city to ascertain what damage had been done by the heavy rain Tuesday night, and found that with the exception of several - small washouts on the hill streets, the damage was Imma terial. . v' With one or two exceptions the storm sewers worked well and carried off the Im mense downfall of water before It had time to overflow the curbs Into ' basements of abutting buildings. Indian creek kept its banks and .handled the flood safely' except In the southern part .of the city, where debris lodged against one of the Rock Is land railroad bridges, which was not raised at the time the creek waa deepened and widened. This formed a temporary dam and some water flowed into the lower end of the Rock island yards, but did not do any damage. At North Eighth Btreet a quantity of de bris gathered at the bridge, and for a time things looked somewhat dangerous at this point, but the mass finally, gave way and allowed the water free passage. The water in the creek, however, rose higher than It has at any time since it was deepened. A Rock Island freight train was reported derailed yesterday morning near Oakland as the result of dirt being washed onto the track in a cut from a private crossing.

REQUISITION FOB, I. N. JONES Governor Carroll Honors Tapers for Return of Man to Okla hosna Acrased of Desert ing Family. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. June 9. (Special Tele gram.) The twentieth annual national con vention of the United Norwegian Lutheran Chdreh of America opened an eight days' meeting at the Auditorium thla forenoon. It is the first time a national convention of this body has been held in thts state. This is the largett Norwegian church body In America and Its stronghold Is in the states of Minnesota, loua, Wisconsin. Il linois and the two Dakotas. Recently a large number of congregations have been organized along tha Pacific coast and In Canada. This- religious body has a large number of colleges, academies and. educational in stitutions In the central states, the leading of which are a theological seminary at St. Anthony Park, Minn., and St. Olaf college, Northfield, Minn. The latter Institution became renowned throughout the United States a few weeks ago because it won first honors In the interstate oratorical contest In which the leading colleges of all denominations In eleven states competed. In the preliminary, contest which was held in the different states seventy-two- col leges competed. It was 'the first time in twenty years . that the state of Minnesota has carried off first honors in tha inter state contest. by practically unanimous vote today the delegates to the national convention of the Norwegian Lutheran church adopted the i plan of forming a permanent endowment fund for superannuated ministers. Each minister will subscribe $200 and thereafter each year IS as a premium on his Insurance. The total annual Income will be $13,500. enough to care for every Indigent divine of the faith. During President T. H. Dahl's annual address tonight the problem of dividing the church Into five districts with a superin tendent at Its head, under the president was dwelt upon at length. . The convention will vote upon this proposition within a few days. Requisition for Jones. Governor B. F. Carroll today honored requisition pspers for ' the return from Newmarket, la., to Beaver City, Okl.J of I. N. Jones, who Is charged with an attempt to" elope from that ally with Mrs. Susie Congdon, wife of a well known farmer there. It Is charged In the affidavits accom panying the requisition papers that Jones, who is also married. Induced Mra. Congdon to go to a point In Colorado, while he came to Iowa. Each was to get a divorce and Jones was then to Join the woman in Colorado, the affidavits say. Sheriff John son of Beaver City left Des Moines this afternoon for- Newmacket to take Jones back to Beaver City for - trial. Want Woman Sapcrlntendent. Club women of Des Moines and the stale are bringing pressure to bear on the State Board of Control to ' have appointed as superintendent!" of the Girls' Industrial school at Mttchclvllle a woman. They, have centered upon Mrs. - A. M. Clay, at present superintendent "of the Girls' Industrial school of Missouri, located at Chllllcothe. There she has made a brilliant- success of handling the girls and the club women urge that it cannot be charged she would be incompetent, to manage the girls of Iowa in their state institution. Before going to Chllllcothe, where she has been for the last three years. Mrs. Clay was matron at the state penitentiary of Iowa at Anamosa. She is well known in this state among the club women and In Missouri has become very popular among the women, having ad dressed them at their conventions several times. Agent for Board of Parole, It is extremely likely that at the next meeting of the State Board of Parole, Which will "be July ,, there will be ap pointed a state agent for discharged prisoners from the penitentiaries. This agent will be appointed with the sanction of the executive council, which by the state Is given power to appoint necessary help, The council will also fix the compensation to be paid the state agent. The duty of this agent will be to supervise paroled and discharged prisoners. He will help them to secure employment and keep constantly In touch with them, seeing they do their work right and that they are Justly treated by their employers. It Is expected that such an agent will keep many discharged prls oners from dropping back Into a life of Idleness or crime. He will also look after paroled prisoners. Practically all the sur rounding states have state agents. Iowa has never had one, but because of the new parole, system It Is believed the time has now come when such an officer is an abso lute necessity. The regular date for the meeting of the board is July 6, but as this date falls on Monday and rnany places will celebrate Irdependence day then, It Is thought best to convene a day later. The number of cases to be considered at thts session will be less than 100. ' Importsst Decision . Expected. Onr of the most Important decisions to come, from the supreme court of Iowa in many years, from a commercial standpoint, Is expected in the course of a few weeks. It Is a decision on the Tight to tax govern-, ment bonds held by national banks. The case originated In the Polk county district court by the Des Moines National bank re sisting payment of taxes on government bonds held by it. The lower court held the bonds wer taxable and the bank ap pealed. Now It is up to the supreme court to decide the question. If the higher court upholds the tower court It means that throughout Iowa many thousands of dol lars' worth of government bonds held by national banks will be relieved from taxa tion. If the supreme court of Iowa sus tains the lower court attorneys for the banks have stated they will carry the question to the supreme court of the United States for final determination.
