TALK OF Seeding
Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs
Badly Divided by the Re-

West Contends That the East Took
Al 1.-The Offices-Bitterness
All Around.
Special to Tho Journal,

Des Moines, Iowa, May 1.-THE Iowa
Federation of Womens Clubs was racked
TO Its foundations by the recent conven-
ton here. Such g. turmoil of politics. the
Oldest members Of the federation say, they
never saw before. Charges and counter
charges Of the most hateful and spitefu1
sort are fitting to and fro since the con
vention ended, and allegations of back
biting, double dealing and all that sort
OF thing are freely INDUCED in
There are vigorous complaints from the
western part of the state to the effect
that all the new officers are from the
eastern part of Iowa. that the western
section is not represented, and that there
Is every reason for a secession movement.
An independent federation Of the clubs
in western Iowa is talked Of, and while
prominent Des Moines club women say
they do not believe the pickering will ever
proceed to such a climax, there is a good
deal Of worriment over it and a fear that
the work OF the federation will be badly
hampered by the dissensions
Not only are, the friends Of Mrs. Walter
T. Smith Of Council Bluffs in bitter
mood. but the most earnest supporters of
Mrs. w. W. Baily are also displeased at
the way things turned out and are any
thing but cordial toward Mrs. Alice G.
Fletcher. the new president Mrs. Baily
undoubtedly wanted another term, and
cOulu nave nad IL nad she declared her.
self from the first. But some of her sis
tiers, who were not friendly to her, re-
called that she was opposed to second
terms and was on record in this WISE and
they took care that she should not have
opportunity to forget it. In fact, by con-
,stantly holding this matter up to the con-
vention, they literally drove Mrs Baily
out Of the field, and compelled her to
preside at her own funeral.
Altogether. 1t is agreed there has never
been such an exhibition of bitterness in
any political convention held in Des
Moines.

insufficient Provision for Live Stock Sanl.
tary Work.
DR.. S. H. Ward of st. Cloud, executive
officer of the state live stock sanitary
board, came to the state capitol to-day
to arrange for opening a permanent office.
DR.. Brimhall, field veterinarian, IS already
at work under the new law, looking after
the more urgent cases.,
The new board is going to be greatly
crippled by lack Of funds. Only $4,000
a year is at the disposal of the board. and
from this it will have to pay the states
share of the value of cattle killed for
tuberculosis and horses killed for CLAN
ders. To look after this work and pay the
costs it should have $4,000 at least.
There are 10000 dairy cattle In and
around the twin cities Most of them
have been tested by the agents Of the
city health departments. Hundreds OF
cows have been condemned, but could not
be killed without total loss to the owner.
except on order of the state board. All
these should be reinspected by the state.
If they are found to have, tuberculosis they
will be killed If not, they will be put
back in the herd. At present they are
set aside and are a dead expense to the
owners. With it's limited force it will
take the new board months to get over
this ground and then it may not have
funds to pay for all the cattle condemned

Can't Have Fair Trial.

Lexington, KY, May 11.--Since the ar
rest Of Curtis Jett, in Madison county,
Sunday morning, charged with the murder
of j. B. Marcum, a grave problem con-
fronts the prosecution, which may require
a special session of the legislature to
solve. Under the law Jett would be taken
back to Jackson, the scene Of the crime,
for trial. unless he requests that he be
taken elsewhere. He has asked to be
taken to Jackson and will therefore have
to go. II he goes to jackson it is con-
tended that the feeling is such that jus
tice would be defeated. A we'll defined
movement is on foot to delay the removal
of Jett to Jackson until it is ascertained
what steps can be taken to avoid it under
the law. If the law offers no relief 1t is
said here that the governor will be asked
to call a special session OF the legislature
to change the law.

STATE CAPITOL.
BREAKINGGAM ELAW
Many Violations Are Reported to
the State Game and Fish
Commission
Mistaken idea That There Is No Au.
thority to Enforce the
Laws.

Violation of the game law is running
rampant in some sections Of the state,
Executive Agent Fullerton says that he
has not had so many reports Of law
breaking in years. There is widespread
impression that since the game and fish
commission has resigned there is no au-
thority in existence to enforce the game
laws. This is not true. The attorney
general has ruled that the present COM
mission are de facto officers until their
designations are accepted. no matter
whether the new law legislates them out
Of office or not. The wardens still have
authority to make arrests, and the new
game law is In force. Violators will be
prosecuted as vigorously as ever.

WILL HOLD COURT.
Judge Swnyne Orders n Term in the
North Florida District.

Judge Swayne Orders n Term in the
North Florida District.
Tallahassee. Fla, April 2s.-For
nearly a year there has not been
term of the United States Court for
the Northern District of Florida.
1t is now definitely settled that the
court will convene here on May IS. 1t
was given out several weeks ago that
Judge Swayne might possibly hold
court some time in May. There was
sudden activity shown Friday. when
United States Commissioner Hodges
received a telegram from Pensacola,
to draw a list of jurors and forward
them on the next train, as Judge
Swayne would convene court in this
city on May IS.
This activity is easily explained.
The Legislature of Florida is after the
judges scalp.
The Senate joint resolution. intro
duced by Senator Butler of the Twen-
ty-second district, and which, having
passed that body, will be unanimously
passed by the House when 1t comes
up, deals severely with Judge Swayne.
The substance of it has already ap-
peared in the columns of the Morning
News.
The members of the House with
whom the Morning News representa-
tive has talked, are heartily in favor
of passing the resolution, and there is
no doubt that a strong effort will be
made to have Judge Swayne sup
planted by more acceptable man,
one who will not only reside in Flor
ida, but who will attend to his duties
more closely
