CONSUMPT|VES
ARE SHUT out

Des Moines, Nov. 21.--Secretary
Kennedy of the state board Of health,
DR.. A. NJ. Linn, chairman of the COM
mittee OF the board in charge Of the
relations of the schools to the board
with respect to tuberculosis, and Dr.
r. E.. Commit of Sioux City, yester-
day reached an understanding with
respect to the action taken by the
board of health recently relative to
the presence in the school rooms of
Iowa Of teachers and pupils suffering
from consumption.
1t was decided that. the board act.
ually had taken the action referred to
and that DR.. Linn and DR.. Kennedy
were appointed a committee to draft
the form of rule which will be pro-
mulgated pursuant to the action Of
the board.
1t was Secretary Kennedy's impress
sion that the board did not act, and
had named a committee to draft a
rule to be considered at the next
meeting. A majority of the board,
however, appears to be under the i'm
preston that the body took definite
action as described.
Therefore DR.. Linn and DR.. Ken
nedy will :, Immediately promulgate
notice of the adoption Of an amend
ment to rule of the state board of
health, which will provide in terms
that teachers and children affected
with tuberculosis shall not be permit
ted to teach or attend school in the
schools of Iowa. This rule now is in
effect according to the decision reach
ed yesterday.
1t is up to the boards of directors
of the school districts OF the state to
require such showing as will satisfy
them and the health officers that teach
ers and pupils having consumption
are actually excluded from the school
rooms of Iowa. 1t is supposed that
a PHYSICIANS certificate will be final
in this matter

third story window by a teacher.
Rena Drouin, IL years old, was taken
to a hospital suffering from the effects
of fright and inhaling smoke and it

All the pupils except those on the

in good order when the alarm was
given. The fire was caused by an
over heated furnace.
Sister Mary, one Of the teachers.
and her twenty-five pupils, who were
on the third floor, could not get down
the stairs on account of the dense
smoke. The teacher led the children
to the windows beneath which the
firemen stretched a net. Under the

OLD SOLDIERS may
Be GIVEN PREFERENCE

Des Moines, Nov. t22.-With JUS
tees Bishop and Weaver dissenting,
the Iowa supreme court yesterday
held the Iowa Soldiers preference
law constitutional. reversing Judge
Obed Caswell in the case of G. H.
Shaw, appellant, VS.. the City Coun-
ril of Marshalltown. Chief Justice
5herwin wrote the opinion unfolding
the law and Justice Bishop wrote the
dissenting opinion, Justice Weaver
concurring.
The case has probably been one of
the most noted before the Iowa jur-
tsts in recent years. Ever since the
adoption of the law by the last gen
eral assembly, it has been one of the
chief matters of discussion among
public men, especially those who
have subordinate positions to fill by
appointment. The gist of the law is
that appointive public offices shall
De given to veterans of the civil war
in preference to other candidates,
other qualifications being equal. The
Jaw will affect practically every state
office and the appointive city, town,
county and township positions
throughout Iowa. ..s
The test case was brought by the
Town council Of Marshalltown. Mr..
Shaw is an old veteran and pressed
his claiIl for the place on the basis
Vt the newly enacted law, but the
council saw fit to ignore him and to
appoint l.. Derby, who was not an old
,oldier. Mr.. Shaw appealed to the
district court and Judge Obed Cas-
veil ruled adversely to him. holding
he law unconstitutional as class leg
station.
With the support of the G. A. r..

ENGLISH CABINET ON
EVE OF RESIGNATION

London, Nov. 24.-Recent rumor S
of an early dissolution of parliament
and an appeal to the country are
gradually crystallizing into more cefl,
mite form, and while no official in
timation has yet been forthcoming
the idea is prevalent in we'll informed
political circles that Premier BalfcuI
will take an early opportunity to
place his resignation in the hands OF
the king. Should this materialize
the liberals will be invited to form q
government, parliament will meet fo1
few days session and genera,
election will occur early in the new
year.
The political situation was so rad
ically altered during the last week
that even the government supporters
no longer argue that Mr., Balfour has
sufficiently united party at his back
to meet parliament again with the OBJ
ject OF initiating any legislation to
the public advantage.
A cabinet meeting has been called
for today. This will be only the sec
ond held this fall, and the fact that
there have been SO few conferences
betweet the ministers is taken as
another indication of the imminence
of change of government.

Yesterday afternoon the president
sent for Secretary Shaw and told
him In substance that he had seen
various statements as to his quitting
the cabinet in February. The presi.

not spare him then, that he had no
man in mind for the place and that
he must stay on. Mr.. Shaw answer

adjourned. The president said that
he wanted him to remain "as long as
that and longed if possible"
The matter was left in this shape:
That the secretary is to stay until
congress ends it's session, and then it
will be definitely settled when he is
to go. The president was given Mr..
Shaw to understand that he would
be glad to have him stay through his

and they spread with alarming rapid
