CHILDREN'S NARROW ESCAPE
Des Moines Realizes How Close Was
Call at Stadium.
NO FATALITIES AS A RESULT
State Superintendent Holds that
School District Mast Ilnve School
Treasurer Who Is Resident
of the District.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINKS, la., May St (8pedal.)--Tho
people of Dca Moines have begun
to realize tho narrow escape which many
of their children had nt the folk dance
totes at Drake stadium and are con
gratulating themselves that no fatalities
will result from tho situation.
The school authorities are not held In
blame for the trouble, since no person
could have believed It possible for (such
great heat to follow the cold weather of
a few days before. The children hart
not become as yet accustomed to the
heat arid so fell a victim quickly. About
thirty-five were, In fact, prostrated by
the heat and many others affected
slightly. The Drat stadium whero the
fete was being held Is sunk in a deep
gulch so that no wind can reach It and
the heat was stifling. As soon as It be
came apparent that a great many ot the
children would suffer the events wero
called oft and a corps ot doctors and
nurses started to work. A tent was
used as a hospital and residences nearby
were made use ot by the doctors. Sev
eral of the children were so badly af
fected they could not be at once moved
to their homes, but none of them was
In any immediate danger.
Census nook In loira.
The public libraries ot the state and
state officials have received tho latest
copy of the census reports, which In
cludes a supplement devoted wholly to
Iowa. It gives In detail the Iowa popu
lation and analysis of the same, all
about manufactures, mining, quarries and
agriculture and full statistics as to labor
conditions. Those who have Investi
gated the supplement say that It Is the
most complete report on Industrial con
ditions in Iowa that boa ever been pre
pared. To Hare County Kiamlnfn,
By July 1 State Auditor Bleakly will
have appointed and started, to work a
corps of state examiners of county ac
counts. This Is under e, new Iowa law
which provides for state supervision of
county accounting, as In the case ot
municipal accounting at present Five
or sir Inspectors will be appointed and
they will not only check up the. account
but will put into force a system of uni
form accounts and blanks and reports
on cost and prices of supplies and tho
general manner of doing business. This
will be one of the moat important steps
taken by the state to secure a better
ncoo'jntlng system and proper expendl
tu:o of money.
School Treasurers.
The attorney general has hld, In re
sponse to a request from the stato super
intendent. that a school district must
have a school treasurer; that the treas
urer must be a resident of the district,
glvo bond and deposit the sohool money
In a bank at Interest Unless this is done
there Is no way that a district can secure
the use of Its money. Any plan which
contemplates leaving the school funds
In the county treasury will not be per
mitted. One Unto Cnse Is Now Ready.
Tho concluding arguments have been
prepared and filed In one of the big rail
road rate cases which the Iowa Railroad
commission has brought to secure an
adjustment of rates for the benefit of
Iowa cities and Incidentally others In the
middle west. This Is the caso Involving
western rates. The Iowa commission In
sists upon a change in the rates so that
there shall be no arbitrary In relation to
the border river points, but through rates
Instead ot the sum of the locale the same
as In tho case of Chicago, St Touls and
Kansas City. The commission argues

Chtef ot Police John Briggs declared
last evening that no South Omaha gang
of men assisted In the Counclt Bluffs riot
Thursday night The chief made this
statement In reply to a telephone mes
sage from Chtef Froom ot Council Bluffs
who asked whether there was any pos
sibility of another crowd visiting Council
Bluffs last night. Chief Briggs assured
the Bluffs police head that there was no
danger and that after careful Investiga
tion he bad come to the conclusion that
there had been no South Omaha contin
gent at the Thursday night disturbance
in Council Bluffs.

that those who were behind the Council

hide behind South Omaha in the belief
that people generally would be Inclined
to place the blame on South Omaha,
knowing that there hod been race trouble
In the Nebraska packing town some years
ago. The police department Is making a
