TO ATTACK NEW LAW.
Physicians Claim Law on Vital Stats.
tics 10 Unconstitutional.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 8. - Report has
reached the Office Of the state board OF
health at the capitol that an attack
will be made on the new vital statistics
law by physicians, who claim that it Is
unconstitutional.
The act requires physicians to make
out certain death and birth certificates
and provides no compensation for this
work. This provision, III the opinion
of lawyers consulted by the DIRECTORS,
renders the act invalid because uncon-
stitutional, 1t not being within the
province Of the state to require serv-
ices to be performed without cempen-
sation therefor.
Secretary Kennedy Of tho board says
that the objection OF the physicians
would be futile is pressed, for he re-
calls distinctly that in Black Hawk
county case decided in 1884 or 1885
by the Iowa supreme court 1t was held
that this character OF service might be
required of physicians, by the state.
without compensation.

Fort Dodge People Given Exciting
Circus Experience.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. Aug. 8.--A runaway with
a cage of lions is an exciting thing at
best and when the danger OF a steep
hill is added to the event, the affair
takes on a form that involves consld-
cradle danger.
This is the very thing that occurred
Saturday morning as the pageant of
the Norris & Rowe show left their
grounds on Round Prairie to make
their usual parade thru the streets o,
the city.
The lion cage is heavy massive af-
fair, and as the driver started down
the hill from Round Prairie to the
Third street viaduct. the big Vehicia
proved too much for the brake and the
horses were unable to hold 1t back.
When the predicament dawned on the
driver, he let the horses run down hiil
until they struck the level of the via
duct. where the big wagon was slowly
brought under control. 1t dashed
clear across the viaduct. however, be-
fore the driver could regain control.

in which the laws of France and Amerl-

courts yesterday. The case has resulted
from claim brought by the widow OF
Gregorio Aguria, Of New York. she
makes claim to the fortune on theground
that it is a heritage for her daughter.
Oria, left by her husbands mother. la
her deposition, Mrs. Aguria stated that
Ora was born 10 New York in 1888,
two months before Gregorio Aguris's
death. Her claim is opposed by her
daughters cousins. a niece and Fran
cesca Aguirs, who deny the child
was born before her fathers death
and attack the child's legitimacy.
If they can prove their claims the
contestees will inherit the entire fortune.
A feature Of the first appearance of the
case in court yesterday was the raising CT
tbequestion of legitimacy bya demand Of
a certificate of Oria's birth which is oblI-
gatory in such cases in the French
courts. Mrs. Aguria explained that she
had never heard Of such a necessity, as a
certificate in the United States, nor had
her husband known Of such thing
existing. AS a result, she bad no
certificate to produce She added that
she could prove the child's authenticity
according to the laws Of New York State.
