STATE COLLEGE PRESIDENCY
Three-Cornered Fight is Developing
Among Friends of School.
CHBTISS FE0BABLY IN , LEAD
Short Coarse and College Extension
Interests Are Making Active
Campaign for Professor
Holden. ,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Feb. 13.-(SpeclaJ.) The
contest for president of the State college
at Ames is already on In earnest. - There
is no question In tho minds of anyono that
the educational board plans a change
there and already the campaign for suc
cession has commenced. It looks, at the
outset, as if the old fight in the faculty
would break out, and instead of being a
contest between two it will be triangular.
The lineup is as follows:
Prof. C. F. Curtlss, backed by the live
stock Interests, the state fair people and
the younger men of the college.
Prof. E. W. Stanton, backed by the
alumni of the college and Its older friends
and especially by departments other than
agricultural.
Prof. P. O. Holden, backed by the short
course and college extennlon Interexts, the
grain growers and others.
It Is not certain that Prof. Stanton will
be considered or that he would desire the
place. It Is understood on the side that
the board has already practically decided
in favor ot Curtlss. Saturday the Asso
ciation of Corn Growers started out to
boost for Holden. At a meeting of the
executive committee here, while the com
mittee as such, took no action, the mem
bers as Individuals eet out to make a
fight for Holden.
Grant Chapman cf Bagley, president of
the association, said:
"It is with regret that I read in the
papers today that President Storms has
tendered his resignation. If his resigna
tion has been received, the thing that
the people of Iowa want to concern them
selves about Is the choosing of the new
president I do not think there la any
question as to who would . be selected If
the matter was left to .a popular vote of
the farm Interests of the state, for which
the work of the institution stands, which
also necessarily emracea the mechanical
and engineering department. It is my
Judgment that Prof. P. G. Holden would
be the choice of the Iowa people. Prof.
Holden has probably come closer In touch
with the people of Iowa and knows more
of their wants and needs than any other
living man in the state and this should
qualify him. H has rare executive ability
and Is a leader among young men and
women. This has been thoroughly dem
onstrated in his educational work before
short course In the state. In the seed
corn specials and In his addressee before
educational Institutions. I sincerely trust
that the educational board In their de
liberations as to a successor to Dr. Storms
will give the greatest possible consideration
in connection with the presidency of Ames
college."
Railroad Commission Work.
There was a noticeable easing up of the
car situation In Iowa during the last week
so far a coal shipments were concerned,
only two complaints being received by the
Iowa commission with reference to delay
In that commodity. The number of coin-
Iowa
plaints, however, received by the board
with reference to inability to secure cars
for shipment of corn was considerable. The
commissioner's notice to the railroad com
panies to give corn prerrence over all
freight .except live stock and perishable
freight Is having Its effect. Upon Investi
gation by a member of the board It tran
spired that the difficulty In moving com
and other freight In Iowa has not been so
much the fault of Iowa railroads as that
of lines east of Chicago. This commissioner
when he was In Chicago found the yards
full of loaded cars destined to eastern
points, which the eastern railroads could
not handle on account of lack of motive
power, and for the further reason that their
eastern terminals were congested. A num
ber of Iowa railroads last summer ordered
new locomotives, which are Just now being
received for use In Iowa territory.
The most important case filed with the
commission this last week was the appli
cation of the Greater Des Moines commit
tee for the revision of the grain rates In
Iowa. No date has as yet been fixed for
hearing. ;
There were two complaints with reference
to station service, one from Roelyn and
the other from Berlin; one application for
more sidetrack room and one claim for
overcharge. The rest of the complaints re
ferred to cars for grain and live stock.
Remarkable Lake Bed Case.
Attorneys ave here to appear before the
Iowa supreme court on Monday morning
to argue a remarkable case from Cerro
Gordo county. Involving the right of the
cour.ty to maintain the level of the lake
In Clear lake. Some years ago the county
built a spillway and tried to keep the
lake from going dry. In other parts of the
state the lakes were bring drained, but In
tl Is case the lake was regarded as more
valuable than the land around It. The dam
wan dynamited and blown up. It was
rebuilt and again destroyed. Finally an
Injunction was secured to prevent the re
building of the dam, and now the cas:
goes to the court to determine Just what
are the rights of the county.
f'andltated for Game Warden.
Already nearly a dosen candidates for
state game warden have appeared and the
governor Is being bombarded with petitions !
for this and that aspirant. The present
warden has made an unuaually good of
ficer, but has Incurred the enmity of
members of a state game association
wrlch was organised to secure changes in
the law. There Is also a large fund se
cured from licences to hunters which Is
wanted by the sportsmen of the state, and
they are insisting that it shall bo used
for various purposes In connection with
the protection of name. The present
warden has insisted that this money be
longs to the state and must he treated as
other funds, only such portion being used
as may be necessary for the enforcement
of (he laws.
Vnlqne Candltate for Mayor.
B. F. Loos has announced his platform
upon which he will run for the nomination
of mayor at the city primaries. One of his
most novel suggestions with regard to
handling the social evil Is not to drive
unfortunates from the city, but to organize
big brotherhood and tig sisterhood clubs
to look after unfortunates, on the theory
of an affirmative answer to the Biblical
inoulry "Am I my brother's keeper?" ,
Reanloa of Railway Men.
At the meeting last night of the De
Moines Railway Men's club plans were
discussed for the holding of a reunion here
during the summer of the veteran railway
mn of Iowa. The last affair of the kind
THE GREAT ORCHESTRA ORGAN, the
largest in existence (102 speaking stops) and
really representing four independent organs
distributed equally aleng the great corridor
and played either from one console or sep- ,
arately, makes this Grande Promenade a
most unique feature. ,
AT 5 O'CLOCK TEA the matineo-goer and '
the women's club member, the suffragette, as
well as the. lady returning from a shopping :
tour; make this Hotel a rendezvous to sip a .
cup ofUea and partake of a muffin, or take a
6troll in the Promenade and enjoy the won-;
derful Organ Reoital.
AFTER THEATER no one would think of
going home without stopping at the ASTOR
for supper, especially since the tan enables
nonresidents of the Hotel to reach home very
quickly.
THE GRAND BALL ROOM, really a Gold
en Court, has, besides 60 boxes in two tiers,
also a complete stage which can be raised or
lowered, according to requirements,' by pow
erful machinery. Below the ceiling is a can
opy of solid bronze (weighing 30 tons) con
cealing the electric lights and producing light
effects never before accomplished. The statu
ary, by Isidore Konti, and the mural paint
ings, by E. H. Unitt, help to make perfect this
Twentieth Century wonder. It was in this
bll that the celebrated HUDSON-FULTON
1
Banquet was held last September, attended by th
representatives of 27 foreign nations, and number
ing altogether 2,100 guests.
THE ROOF GARDEN is the largest and most
artistic in the world, oovering 28 city lots. Its beau
tiful lighting effects, Fountains and Cascades, Per
golas and "Nooks and Corners'' make this roof a
veritable Fairyland. The BELVEDERE at the ex
treme western end is a Restaurant de Luxe; which
offers a seating capacity for 1,000 persona. Three
orchestras furnish the music in this vast parklike
paradise.'
THE KITCHEN is the largest and conceded to
be the beet planned and equipped of any hotel in
the world and is worthy of an inspection. It is,
therefore, no wonder that the CUISINE of the
ASTOR is renowned and unsurpassed.
THE WINE VAULTS are also a great show
place, both for their architectural features and the
rare vintages stored here from every part of the
globe. Several hundred thousand bottles are stored
here, many of them covered with cobwebs, an indi
cation of their old age, a picture apt to enthuse the
connoisseur.
Iowa

men have suggested It to bo repeated. A
committee will be appointed to ,make defl
nate, preliminary plans and outline a
method of raising the 11,500 that will be
necessary to carry on the campaign.

Innocent Purchaser Win Salt.
DENISON. Ia.. Feb. 13. (Special.) One
of the interesting cases decided by Judge
Powers at the present term of court was
one growing out of the burning of a saloon
building at Soldier, la., some time ago.
William Kpepke, now a resident of Den
Ison, rented of John Peper a building lo
cated at Soldier, in Mopona county, which
was to be used for a saloon. Koepke
leased It for five years at $00 a month,
signing a note for 13,000. He paid rent each
month for two years and two months, and
then the building burned down. He then
refused to pay further rent or the balance
of the note. On advice of attorneys the
note was taken out to Idaho and sold to
an Innocent purchaser, who brought suit
in the federal court for the balance due,
some 12,100. judgment was given against
Koepke. " Thereupon he brought suit
against Peper for selling a note Which be
tween the principals was uncolleotable and
void. It was void because the saloon was
run in Monona county, where there was no
legal consent from the voters. On motion
the case was taken from the Jury and de
cided by the Judge in favor of Koepke for
the amount of 1 the Judgment obtained
against him by the Innocent purchaser in
