AN ILLEGAL MEETING
Called by An Employee of the Cali
 fornia Development Company

To THE EDITOR IMPERIAL PREss:
 IL has been the general desire ot the water users in the south end of Water Company No. l that l be returned to ibe Board of Directors. With this de sire in view have Teen among the stockholders and farmers, and have found out about what their views are at present and believe have their support. IL was suggested about two months ago that two directors, F. E. Preston and myself, be chosen from the south end and as thought that would be too many, offered to withdraw, but was informed that II only one direc- tor was chosen 1 would be the choice.
 \ call to select director was pub lish,d tn the last issue of the Calexico Chronicle with a number of signatures oi prominent men, and number of posters oi the same meeting were scattered about The meeting was held on Monday night January :, lSO5, at which good representation of the California Development Company was pres.mt and F. E. Preston was chosen as the candidate for the south end. Thinking this pretty cold deal for me l began Ia investigate and found that the cali for the meeting originated from an employee of the California Develop memt Company and also discovered that three oi the most prominent names that were signed to the call were no authorized.
 The iact that these names were mol authorized makes the meeting illesa and consequently would bind no one and those hO desire tO cast their votes for me will elect the regular appointed candidate. The meeting held at CaleX leo as l have mentioned above wal simply A play of the California Develop meut Company for they fear, and arr iustly frightened, that will look aite the peoples interests.
 At this meeting 1. W. Gleason advised the election of himself, w. A. Edga and J. II McKim aud another couserya tive, forgetting that l was candidate for reelection. IL seems Mir. Gleason i- not satisfied with me as a dlrectO and is working against my return.
 lu reference to the board, there is question of vital importance whicI every farmer and water user shOul'

President Seerley says Supply is Not

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April S.-"Never in my
experience in the state of Iowa has
there been such a demand for teachers
as there is this spring." said H. H.
Seerley. president of the Iowa State
Normal School this morning. 1--WE can
not begin to supply the demand that
is made upon us. have now in my Of
flee calls for more than 200 teachers
from all parts of the state. Yesterdays
mail alone brought letters asking for
twenty teachers for the public schools
of the state.
Whether this is bad condition Of
affairs am not prepared to state. 1t
is certainly an unsettled condition. The
call is not for small places alone either
There are more of the larger towns
making changes in the head of the
schools than ever before. Beginning
with Des Moines and going down
could name you list of towns that is
almost alarming. They include Mar
shalltown, Oskaloosa, East Waterloo
and towns Of this class"
THE only cause l can assign TO:
this demand for teachers is improved
business conditions turnout the state.
When people can easily obtain other
employment many of them will not
take positions as teachers. The same

Iowa City yesterday afternoon, where
it will be consigned to the medical
college for scientific purposes Coroner
Lambach received word from the Sec
rotary Of the state board Of health yes

moved there and accordingly 1t was
shipped to the state university.
Jones, it will be remembered, Is the
man who was killed week ago yes

Fifth and Ripley streets, while at
tempting to board a train. The re-
mains have been held for week
awaiting Identification, but no one has
been found who could identity the
man, so that according to the state
laws, the coroner or undertaken, hold

QUITS TRACK WORK
State University Suffers Heavy Loss
by Decision of "Fuza:" White, Splinter
Who May Play Base Ball Instead.

Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa CITY, April 8.-"Fuzz" White,
who two years ago was believed to pc
one of the fastest sprinters in the
state. has quit track work for good and
will play base ball with the state uni
versity team If he makes good He IS
now working under the direction OF
Coach Chalmers and will probably hold
down one of the field positions. This
practically leaves the sprints in the
hands of men who have never shown
especially brilliant form and are COM
paratively unknown in the state.
There are practically no candidates
Whatever for the weight events and
no work is being done there at all.
Schwinn, who showed great possibilt-
ties last season has decided that he
cannot take the time from his stud
les this spring and as yet no other
men have reported who have shown
point winning form. Hammer and shot
men will have to be developed out of
raw material, and until this material
is discovered little will be done. Milor,
the most likely candidate for either
event is now working with the hurd-
lers and will not begin weight work
until a squad can be formed. The
loss of Crane in the shot event will un-
doubtedly be severely felt this spring
unless some unknown appears.
Iowa will be strongly represented in
the pole vault this season. Smith, the
eastern man with a record, is eligible
and is working with and coaching
bunch of strong amateurs, Clark, Lee
and Catlin.
MacMahon is throwing the discus
with all of the ability he showed last
year, and it is believed that he will
materially better his record in the
meets this spring. He had the advan-
tage of two years coaching with
Swift, the former Iowa champion, and
he is using Swift's method with great
success. Bad weather delayed work
in the field during the past week

Special to Times-Repubilcan:
Hampton, April S.-The little city Of
Geneva is in the midst of an exciting
election today, held for the purpose OF
determining whether or not they will
have new $4,000 school building at
that place. All the residents of the
city are in favor of it, but the farmers
who are not in the incorporation but
are in the school district are not so
DESTROYS of the new building and the
additional tax that would be levied.
AS the women of manageable age are
allowed to vote it is said that the
farmers are bringing in their wives
and daughters by the wagon load for
the use of their votes. 1t is thought
that the proposition will carry by a
close vote.
