ELLIOT FOR PRESIDENT
MAY BE SELECTED BY THE
EDUCATORS.
His Elevation to the Position May
Interfere With Boston's Chances
of Securing the Next Annual
Convention. S

Minneapolis, July 9-High water mark
in the attendance at the National Edu-
cational Association has been probably
reached a conservative estimate placing
the number of visitors as considerably
over 10000.
The meetings were all well attended
today and when 1t is stated that there
were fifteen OF them it will readily be
seen that the crowd Is an enormous one.
Nearly every department of the asso-
citation has held a meeting, and the real
work of the convention proper Is in full
blast. Tomorrow there will be thirteen
meetings and Friday the meeting will
close.
The movement for the election of Presi-
dent Charles Elliot of Harvard as Presi-
dent of the association has taken such
astonishing Roadway that he is likely to
be named without opposition. The ques-
ton of the next place of meeting will
not be so easily settled. While Boston
seems to be the favorite. the actual Sc
lection will be left, as usual, to the Elk
ecutive. Committee. 1t has not been the
custom to give the Presidency and the
convention to the same city, and this fact
may operate against Boston's candidacy
IL DIR. Elliot Is chosen.
President Birdshear was reported much
better today, but his physicians will not
permit him to preside at any of the ses-
sions.
OF the seven department meetings this
afternoon, the one of most interest was
the Special education meeting held at the
Hennipin Avenue M. E. Church. DR.. Jor-
dan. Superintendent of the Minneapolis
schools, made the address, of welcome,
and DIR. David Graham Bell the in
ventor of the telephone and President of
the department. responded.
Among the speakers was w. T. Harris,
Commissioner of Education, who spoke on
Eye Mindedness."
At the evening session of the entire
convention in the Exposition building, the
attendance was nearly 10000.
The Hon. Michael Ernest Sadler LIZ
D.. director of inquiries and reports of
the educational office in London, Eng,
was the first speaker. He spoke of the
work along educational lines in Eng
land. and showed that there is a close
relationship between the work and the
workers in the two countries.
Archbishop John Ireland Of st. Paul
spoke on THE Influence and RESPONSE
bility of the Teacher
Tomorrow morning another general SEES
sion will be held when Hon. James VIII
son, Secretary of Agriculture Mrs Carrie
Chapman Gait of New York and DIR. Ja-
cob Gould Sehurman. President of Cor
nell University, will speak.

business in Fort Dodge and the railroads
are almost out of business. The east
end of the city is almost inundated and
people are moving out The Desmoines

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

Within Ten Days After Su-
preme Courts Action.

ilt She second degree and sentenced to
fifteen years in the penitentiary. for the
murder of his brother-fn-law. David
