DIES MONIES. May l5.-(Special)- AT the
convention Of the State Society Of Iowa
Medical Women. an organization affili-
ated with the regular state Medical society
resolutions were passed today demanding
an investigation into the methods and con
duct of the college hospital at the State
Agricultural college at Ames. The move
ment was started by the Story county So
ciety through Or. Margaret Jones. who
alleges that Dr. w. e. Hartman, a son OF
ex-senator w. f. Hartman Of Franklin
county. has a monopoly on the management
of the hospital and will allow no other
physicians to be called to the hospital.
The resolutions charge that he furthermore
takes his private patients to the hospital
at the states expense Dr.. Hartman Is
charged by the women doctors with being
but % years old and inexperienced. The
resolutions charge that he receives LOO
from the state, $500 from the hospital fund
annually, $3.50 from each Of the 1890 stu
dents annually as a hospital fee whether
they are sick or not. If they are sick II
is charged that they can have the service
of DR.. Hartman only and that for but two
weeks, after which they must pay $40
week The resolutions charge that he got
the position through political pulls and not
on merit The State Medical society will
have the matter before it tomorrow, when
the women doctors will ask that the trus-
tees be demanded to remove Or. Hartman.
II the trustees fail to act the women say
they will carry the matter before the state
legisla ture next winter
MIIIiners in Arms.

ventlon today were up in arms because Of
notification from the express companies
| that hereafter no shipment will be received
that occupies more than ninety cubic feet
of space and that every shipment of mill
| lnery goods must be Grated. The order has
aroused all sorts Of opposition on the part
Of the miliners. They assert that under
this order If one hat is to be shipped it
must be Grated. and that as millinery
goods are light in weight the minimum of
| space to be occupied should be considerably
more than ninety cubic feet, which will
allow of a box 6x3x5 feet The associate
officers and members propose to take the
matter up with the authorities. There is
some question with the association as to
whether or not the Interstate Commerce
