In Osteopsthio Case the State Files
Answer to Adverse Decision.
Des Moines, Sept. 23.-The state
board of medical examiners has
filed it's answer to the petition of
c. L. Parsons, a graduate of the S. S.
Still College of Osteopathy, who de-
manded a certificate from the board.
This follows defeat for the board
~ demurrer. The answer is baseu
practically on two points. 1t is held
bv the board that an examination
of the Still college was made and 1T
was found not to be a regularly
conducted college of osteopathy."
The board holds that the law gives
it full authority to judge concerning
this point, and its decision must be
taken as finality. Yet it provided
regulations for regularly conduct
ed" schools, and they are observed
by Still college. 1t is further son
tended that the law which authorizes
the board to grant certificates to
graduates of colleges of osteopathy
is unconstitutional in that it creates
a privileged class. The general law
governing the granting of certificates
to physicians requires that all APP
plicants must have completed four
full courses of twenty-six weeks in a
reputable medical college, and no
two of these terms may be taken
the same year. The board holds that
it would be unconstitutional to
grant certificates to graduates of a
college of osteopathy which did not
have a course of this length. Still
college claims to do it. This case
will come up this term of court, and
it's outcome WI be awaited with
great interest. c. i. Parsons com
menced the suit last winter, and it
is test case, in that il he succeeds
in forcing the board 10 grant him
a certificate upon the application
which he has on file, all graduates
of Still college will have the same
privilege

BRITISH WARSHIP SINKS
Slxty-seven of Those on Board
Went Down.

London, Sept. 20.-The torpedo boat
destroyer, the Cabra, has foundered
in the North sea, the result of an ex-
plosion. The ship was enroute from
the yard of her builders, the Arm
strongs of New Castle, to Ports
mouth.
The Cobra had seventy-nine souls
on board. For siXty-seyen no hope is
held out. The disaster is the most
serious the British navy has suffered
since the sinking of the Victoria.
Lieutenant Bosworth Smith, The
Cobra's commander, stood upon the
bridge with his arms folded as inn
passive as if on parade and went
down with the vessel.
The first intimation of the disaster
was the arrival of fishing boat at
Yarmouth, with six bodies, which
had been picked up in the vicinity OF
the spot where the Cobra was last
seen. According to the fishermen
the Cobra was sighted by the light
ship off Downings Sands enveloped
in steam, and she shortly afterwards
disappeared. The men on the light
ship supposed that the Cobra had
sailed away. until in the evening,
when they observed the bodies float
ing in the water, and signaled to the
fishing boat to investigate the dis
aster.
A dispatch from Middlesboro says
twelve survivors of the crew of the
Cobra were landed there and confirm
ed the report that the others were
drowned. The explosion occurred
after the Cobra struck a rock, and
she sank Immediately.

QUEER DEFECT IN STATUTE.
Building and Loan Laws Apply to Cor
poration Only.


Des Moines, Sept. 20.-A strange
oversight in the laws relating to
building and loan associations has
come to light. 1t has been discovered
that an individual or partnership
can transact building and loan BUSH
ness in Iowa without being obliged to
comply with the building and loan
laws. The statutes on this subject
apply solely to corporations.
The discovery was made in dispos-
ing of the question whether the Home
Cooperative company of Kansas City,
Mo-, could transact a building and
loan business in Iowa. Not long ago.
it came to the knowledge of Auditor
Merriam that the company was dis
tributing literature and preparing to
transact business in Iowa that was to
all intents and purposes building
and loan business. AS the concern
had not complied with the building
and loan laws he wrote +. ID. Boards
ley, the local manager. that this could
not be permitted unless there was
compliance with the requirements of
the code respecting building and loan
corporations.
The defense of the local manager
and of the company was that the
Home Cooperative company was a
partnership and not a corporation.
and hence did not come under the
building and loan statutes. The mat
ter was referred to Attorney General
Mullan. He has rendered an opinion
that no law exists to prevent the
partnership from transacting build,
ing and loan business il it sees fit to
do so. Corporations only are referred
10 in the laws relating to building
and loan associations.
The attention of the Legislature
will be called to this evident over
sight. which leaves wide loophole
for the introduction of building and
loan methods. Attorney Genera,
Mullan said yesterday he hoped when
the legislature met to have the law
so completely safeguarded that it
would be impossible for either al
individual or a partnership to tran;
sact building and loan business, save
under the regulations imposed on in
corporated building and loan organi'

LAST TRIBUTE TO DEAD
One Hundred Thousand People at
Canton on Thursday.

Canton, o., Sept. 20.-Wth majestic
solemnity, surrounded by his coun-
trymen and his townspeople, in the
presence of the president of the Uni

the United States supreme court,
senator's and representatives in con.
gress, the heads of the military and
naval establishments, the governors
of states and "A great concourse of
people who had known and loved
him, all that was mortal of the third
president to fall by an assassin's
bullet was yesterday committed to
the grave. 1t was IA spectacle OF
mournful grandeur. Canton ceased
to be town and swelled to the pro-
portions of great city. From every
city and hamlet in Ohio, from the
remote corners of the south and
from the east and west, the human
tide flowed into the town until lO0,-
700 people were within its gates to
pay their last tribute to the fallen
chief.
, The funeral procession was very
imposing and included not only the
representatives of the army and
navy of the United States, but the
entire military strength of the state
Of Ohio and hundreds of civic, fra
ternal and other organizations. 1t
was two miles long.
One of the most pathetic events
of the day was the absence of Mrs.
Mckinley from the funeral services
at the church and cemetery when
the body of her husband was laid to
rest. Since the first shock o. the
shooting, then of death and through
the ordeal of state ceremonies, she
had borne up uravely. But there
was a limit to human endurance.
and when yesterday came it found
her too weak to pass through the
trials of the final ceremonies.
Through the open door of her room
she heard the prayer of the minis
ter as the body was borne out of
the house. After that DR.. Rixey re-
manned close by her side, and al
though the full force of the calamity
had come upon her, buoyed up by
those about her, there was provi-
dental mercy in her tears, as they
gave some relief to the anguish of
the heart within.

Roosevelt and the members of the
cabinet started back to Washington

sCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY
The Court IL Fast Getting Down to tn
Facts In the Case.


Washington, Sept. 20.-The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened today
and before adjournment examined
four witnesses. The most important
incident of the day was the decision
of court withdrawing question,
put by court itself, asking a witness
to give his opinion concerning
point under controversy. The wit
ness was Rear Admiral Higginson,
who participated in the Santiago
campaign as captain of the battle
ship Massachusetts. This vessel at
one time was a part of the flying
squadron, commanded by Commodore
Schley, and the court asked him to
state whether all possible measures
were taken to capture or destroy the
Spanish vessel, Christobal Colon, as
it lay in Santiago harbor from May
20 to June 1, 1898. Counsel for Adj
miral Schley objected to the ques-
ton on the ground a reply would
involve an opinion and not state
ment of facts. Judge Advocate Lem
ly admitted that the precedents were
against questions of this character
and the court withdrew this inter-
rogation. 1t is generally admitted
that this decision will have the eff
feet of materially shortening the
term of court, as will also the courts
manifest intention to cut out irrele-
want questions and all hearsay testi-
mony.
Washington, Sept, 23.-Chly one
new witness was introduced Satur-
day to the naval court which is in
vestigating the conduct of Admiral
Schley during the Spanish-American
war. The witness was Commander
Seaton Schroeder, who was eXecu-
tive officer of the battleship Massa-
chusetts during the war and is now
governor of the island of Guam. His
Testimony dealt with the cruise of
the "Flying Squadron" from Glen
fuegos to Santiago, and the bonn
bardment of the Spanish ship Girls
tobal Colon as she lay in the mouth
of the harbor at Santiago on May
81. The commander said the cruise
was not as expeditions as it should
have been. He also said that in the
bombardment of the Colon the fleet
had not acted as deliberately as the
commander-in-chief had announced
to be his purpose to have 1t to act.
While Commander Schroeder was
giving his testimony, Judge Wilson,
counsel for Admiral Schley, sought
to have him make comparison of
the distance of the feet from the
shore under Admiral Schley with the
distance under Admiral Sampson
after the latter officer arrived and
took command. but the Judge advo-
cate objected and Mr.. Wilson with
drew the question, saying, however,
that he did so only temporarily. and
that he would raise the point at
later stage in the Investigation.

on excellent authority that all meni-

in the sincerity of the president in

they wish to assist him to the full

the policies of former President Me,
