Des Moines. Dec. with the
teachers Of the state making a move
ment In the direction OF having the
state maintain free employment bu-
reau or place for the exchange OF in
formation In regard to teachers and
positions for teachers, and the state al
ready engaged in doing some work
along this line for the benefit of per-
sons in the skilled trades, the move
ment to extend the state aid system to
the FARMERS and the farm laborers, as
started by the commissioner of labor
Of Nebraska, is attracting some atten-
ton. Already the movement has been
discussed in several states. For In
stance, in Missouri popular farm pa
per at Sedalia. the Ruralist, took up
the matter recently and discussed II
freely. In its last Issue 1t printed por-
tons OF letter from A. e. Holder,
deputy commissioner for Iowa, in
which he points out that the failure to
extend the benefits of the work Of la
Dor bureaus to that kind OF labor
which has to do with farming Is large
ly due to the attitude OF the farm
journals who are in Official positions.
They have been too much in the habit
o. treating the labor question as some
thing in which they are not interested
something apart from their affairs. He
would have the benefits of the labor
bureau come to ali classes OF labor.
There Is now said to be a great need
of some cooperation among the Off
cials Of the various states in the mat
ter of finding harvest hands for the
farmers at certain seasons OF the year.
To this end the meeting In Kansas City
will be called and steps be taken to Sc
cure cooperation on the part OF half
dozen states in the harvesting regions.

SCIENTISTS BLAMED
coroner's Jury in the Case Of Carrie
Glesner at Davenport Returns ver-
dict After Three Days investigation.

Davenport, Dec. THE coroner's
jury which inquired into the death of
s-yaar- old Carrie Giesner, who died
from diphtheria while under Christian
Science treatment, returned verdict
Saturday condemning the scientists
and their leader, Miss Amy Vaudeville,
who belongs to one of Davenport's old
est families.
The inquest lasted three days. and
the family and scientists testified that
they made no inquiry as to the nature
Of the disease, as. they believed, neither
in disease nor death.
Coroner Lambach declares that the
case will be carried before the grand
Jury and that the Christian Science
healers here will have to qualify under
the state medical laws or so out OF
business.
I The trial attracted much attention
here, and its revelations created much
indignation.
Physicians testified that the girls
life might easily have been saved un-
der medical treatment.
The coroner's jury in Its verdict de-
clared that:
I'VE find that the deceased came to
her death from an attack OF diphtheria
"a contagious disease. We also find that
the parents Of said Carrie Giesner,
Frederick and Emily Geissner. wilfully
denied her all treatment proper In such
cases.
1--WE further find and believe that II
the proper treatment had been inst-
tuted the said Carrie Geissner would
have recovered.
I'VE also find that the parents were
aided and sbetted in such criminal
negligence and denial OF proper treat
ment by one Amy Mandeville, who pro-
fesses to heal and cure and practices
contrary to the statutes Of the state OF
Iowa.
