Clinton, Dec 6.-Attorney c. II.
Georgex, representing the civic feder-
Grafton Of Omaha, before Court Re-
porter John jackson, named as referee,
took the dispositions of l.. q. Fay, At
torney L. f. Sutton, and Police Officers
Burke and Dougherty, in the hearing
begun by Attorney Elmer e. Thomas
Of Omaha, the victim of the dynamite
outrage Of few days ago, to GUST
Chief Of Police Donahue, of Omaha,
from office, on the charge that he pro-
tects criminals in Omaha, and will not
prosecute those guilty of crimes. Dom
ahue and his lawyer. Attorney Council,
of Omaha, were present, during the ex-
animation, which consumed the entire
day.
The substance of the testimony CT
the four witnesses was that when look
ing for information relative to tho
whereabouts of the stolen Fay dia-
monds, George Burrier, now in prison
at Anamosa, for series Of burglarles
committed here and the leader of the
notorious Burrier gang of criminals.

Fort Dodge, Dec. els race suicide
responsible for it?" is the question that
suggests itself when comparison be-
tween the attendance of the Ft. Dodge
schools and that Of other schools in
the state in towns or cities Of about
the same or even less In population is
made. The Chronicle says:
Something is decidedly wrong with
the attendance at the Fort Dodge
schools as is seen by an examination
Of the figures in the Iowa Educational
Directory, just issued by the state
superintendent, SO radically wrong
i that it is far below the attendance in
cities nowhere near as large as Fort
Dodge.
In the compiling Of this directory,
the census of 1900 is used as basis,
the report should have been made by
the city superintendent of the num-
Der Of pupils enrolled on the 10th day
of October, and this report was to
contain the enumeration of the c1ty's
school children. In the report made by
Fort Dodge, the enumeration Is not
given and the number Of pupils enroll
ed on that date was 1860. Fort Dodge
has population Of 1852, as given by
the census mentioned.
In Boone, population Of $3.50, the
enumeration Is 2,794 and the number OF
pupils enrolled 1889.
In Creston, population 1882, the
enumeration is 1898, and the number
enrolled is 1872.
Fort Madison. a population Of 9,27s,
enumeration, 2,676, the number enrolled
Is 1.205.
Iowa City, population 1887, enumer-
alton $3.50. the enrolment is 1885.
Keokuk has a population of 1882.
enumeration Of 3,4s5 and an enrolment
2.037.
Marshalltown with a population Of
11.544, has an enumeration Of 3,485,
and an enrolment of 1924.
In Muscatine the population is given
as 14,O73, the enumeration 4,607. and
the enrolment as 2,606.
In Oskaloosa, with population Of
9.212. the enumeration 1914, the enroll
ment is 1000.
In Waterloo where Fort Dodge's
real interest hinges, the population is
given as 1850, it has two schools, one
in West Waterloo and one in East
Waterloo, the enumeration is given as
1855 and the enrolment as 1852. While
this shows that the latter named city
has population 418 in excess Of Fort
Dodge, it shows that in number Of
pupils enrolled it exceeds this city by
1872.
In the minds Of some there exists
the question If it would not add ma
terially to the enrolment Of the pupils
IL the compulsory education law was
enforced here. 1t is well known that
the law is not enforced, and has not
been only in one or two instances, and
the very low enrolment shows that In
the way of a school attendance Fort
Dodge is far below the average.
Another interesting set of figures in
the state superintendent report is
that Of the attendance at the high
school. In this Fort Dodge Is far be-
low the standard set by other schools.
In Boone the number is 25s; MARSHALL
town. 327; Iowa City, $50; East Wa
terloo. 240; West Waterloo, 202: total,
442: and in Fort Dodge 1873.
