on the Board Thus
Created.

DES MONIES, March 23.-(Specal Tele-
gram)-The board of control bill came up
in the senate again this morning and in
few minutes was finally passed and ready
for the governors signature. When the bill
was called up the ways and means commit
tee reported in favor of concurrence In all
Of the eight amendments which the house
had adopted. None of them were important
except that giving the board Of control su-
pervlsory authority over the educational in
sttutions. The amendments were promptly
adopted and the bill placed on It's passage,
receiving twenty votes, with eight in
the negative. Trewin and Palmer, who had
previously voted against the bill, on this roll
call supported it. Several who had previ-
ously voted in the negative refrained from
voting.
The bill being finally passed, all interest,"
was centered in the questions concerning the
appointments to the three places on the
board. Governor Shaw was reported by those
who saw him on the subject this afternoon
to be still uncertain whom he would recon-
mend. The only appointment which by gen
eral agreement is reasonably certain Is that
of John Cownle of Iowa county. Mr.. Cownie
is president Of the State Fair association, an
extensive farmer and business man, who last
year was a candidate for governor and had
considerable support in his own district, the
Second. The appointment Is regarded as an
excellent one.
This morning the friends of Horace M.
Rebok of Tama City presented his case to
the governor, urging his appointment as the
democratic member. Rebok is editor of the
Tama Democrat and came with excellent
recommendations. His case was presented
by Cato Sells of Vinton, who spent two hours
with the governor. In the afternoon 1t was
given out that the governor had dropped Mr..
Rebok from the list of possibilities. G. IL.
Robinson of Des Moines was until yesterday
regarded as the leading democratic candi-
date, but today it is said the governor is less
favorable to him and likely to name a man
who thus far has been little heard Of but
who it will be is not known. The appoint
ment Of j. G. Hutchinson of Ottumwa as one
of the republicans is still being urged by the
friends of the bill, but the governor has not
indicated whether he will grant the request
