"THE WILSON RUMOR"
Presidency of Iowa State College
Not Open to Him.

! DIES MONIES, IOWA.-The impression
that is being given out from many quar-
tiers that the trustees Of the Iowa State
college at Ames are making anxious eff
forts to secure Secretary James Wilson
for the head of the college to succeed
President Beardshear, Is largely erron-
eous. Inquiry has been made of j. b.
Hungerford. president Of the board Of
trustees. whose residence is at Carroll, as
to the facts. Mr.. Hungerford says there
is absolutely nothing in the Wilson
rumor.'' He says further the board has
taken no step whatever in that direction.
One of the stories Is that Secretary
Wilson will remain in Washington for
about a year, until he could be spared
from the cabinet by Roosevelt, and then
would take the presidency at Ames. There
are reasons why Secretary Wilson is not
suitable to some of the trustees and it is
practically assured the place will not be
rendered him by the board as unit.
The next meeting of the trustees will be
Sept. II. 1t is unlikely the question of the
presidency will be brought up then The
candidates are Henry Wallace and Pro-
fessor S. H. Sheakley of Des Moines, Pres
ident j. w. HestOn Of Brookings, S. D.
Professors G. F. Curtiss and e. w. STAN
ton of the college, and Professor Mcbride
of the state university at Iowa City.
The first volume of the code supplement
will be issued from the office of the state
binder the latter part of this week. The
edition authorized by the legislature is one
Of $4,000 copies. The demand for the sup
plement which will contain the measures
of the last three assemblies, is heavy, at
torneys throughout the state needing the
volume badly. John r. Carter, editor OF
the code supplement, has completed his
work and returned to- his home at Sioux
City.
! The state central committee has levied
an assessment of per cent on the an

tee undertook to charge employees receiv,
ing over a. stated sum 4 per cent. This
raised so much disturbance the committee
has not attempted the same plan this sea

attorney, declined the day after the con-
vention, because he was not in accord
with the party. AS the. party, is in the mi

itself to place a ticket in the field.
