Talk of Removal of School For
Deaf Arouses Citizens Of
Council Bluffs
uLD MAKE RESISTANCE
People of That City Aroused by the
Suggestion That the Next LesisIa.
lure Might Consider Removal of
School to More Central Part Of the
State.
Special to Zines -Republican.

Council Bluffs. April 27.-The cfti-
zens OF Council Bluffs will never con-
sent to the removal of the Iowa School
for the Deaf to some central part OF
the state. The suggestion in a Des
Moines paper that this might be done
by the next state legislature occasioned
a great deal of surprise and comment
here.
Confidence was universally express
ed that this city will be able to retain
the institution owing to its especially
desirable location.
In the event, however, that a contest
is made for the school. the city will be
found united In its efforts to keep the
institution and prepared to make the
fight OF its life. Assurances have al
ready been received from many parts of
the state, especially in western Iowa,
that Council Bluffs Will be favored as
the permanent location for the School
for the deaf.
In regard to the removal Of the in
stitution from this city, Victor E.. Ben
der, president OF the Council Bluffs
Commercial Club, declared yesterday:
"When we are fully advised that the
removal OF the Iowa School for the
Deaf from Council Bluffs is seriously
contemplated, we shall bring every In
fiuence to bear against such a move.
1t seems incredible that n Iowan
should favor the abandonment of a To-
cation so admirably adopted in every
way to the uses of a state institution.
Selfish interests, and not the general
good would be at the bottom of such a
course"
State Senator, C. G. Saunders OF this
district, who, II he is returned to the
state legislature this winter, will have a
leading part in the School for the Deaf
legislation, when questioned yesterday
concerning Il probability Of a removal
contest, replied:
The removal of the School for the
Deaf from this city can never be ac-
complished. We need to be on the alert
however, and by the early fall ought to
in the legislature. / expect that a fight
school to Des Moines, but am certain
we can retain the INSTITUTION.
The activity in Des Moines, 1T seems
to me, centers in a few property owners
have land in the vicinity Of the
regular army fort that they would
like to sell to the state for The School
for the Deaf. The location of such an
institution with its young people in the
vicinity of an army post with its I'M
accompaniment Of tough joints
at the dead line would be a great dis
grace to the state. 1 canno believe
that it could ever be brought about.
1.-The school is certain to remain here,
but we need to be ready to fight for 1t
if pacacSarv when the fine comes"

Worth a Fortune for 81.
Special TO Times-Republican.
Ottumwa, April 27.-A violin bought
in a second hand store in Ottumwa for
81 just a year ago, has made Lawyer
C. c. Ayres, Of this city, a man to be
by the musicians of the coun-
try, for he now possesses an instru-
ment manufactured in the year 100,
and worth In the neighborhood of $780,
900.
Because of a fancy for old instru-
ments, and especially violins, Mr.. Ayres
bought this instrument from a local
pawnshop proprietor, who had loaned a
paltry sum on 1t TO some unhappy
creature hard pressed for money.
Where that person may have secured
II or who he was is unknown. Professor
Hans Albert. the violinist, who has for
years made this his home, drew his
bow across the strings and pronounced
1t good, but 1t was not until last We'd
nesday that the discovery of it's value
was made.
ole Theobaldi, the great violinist,
who gave a recital in the Grand opera
house here on the evening of that day,
stood with the instrument in his trem
bling hands and cried. MY God. man,
you have a Jewel His eyes sparklea
and his face filled with animation as he
thumped the strings. III might be an

Hans Albert approached Nj. Ayres
concerning his violin and tried to get
him to name a price for which he would
sell 1T. The lawyer refused to do this.
When discovered by MI. Ayres the vio-
lin was in bad shape, and since 1t was
rescued from the heap of articles IN
the pawnshop window it has been grac-
ed with a new neck. The body is yet
some cracked and shows the marks OF
age. The polish of the wood, however,
maintains a beautiful luster, and the

sion of the London Diocesan Conference the
Bishop of London, Right Rev. Arthur +.
Ingram. read letter from representatives OF
the clergy Of the diocese drawing attention to
the Vanderbilt Rutherford wedding and re-
1uesting him to make such reference during
the conference "to this scandalOus and de-
plorable incident as shall serve TO allay to
some extent the distress Of the clergy, who
feel keenly this infringement Of the marriage
law In the diocese, and which may also lead
others to realize how serious breach OF
church discipline is involved in such a pro
ceeding." The Bishop said he need hardly
saw that even without this letter the matter
would have been investigated. He had seen
the chancellor Of the diocese, who oontended
that he was obliged by law to issue license
to divorced persons ifany clergyman could be
found to marry them as in this case that the
latter was the guilty party that the chancel:
,or's jurisdiction was entirely independent oi
the Bishops; and that the license went out IN
the chancellOrs name and not in the bishops;
The Bishop of London added that ne had
already summoned Rev Mr.. lladden, who
performed the ceremony, and a ter seeing nm
he would give his opinion of the whole
matter.
