Being Urged by Iowa Nurses.
From WednesdaY,s Daily.

Registration Under State Control Is
Being Urged by Iowa Nurses.
From Wednesdays Daily.
The registration bill for nurses Is
forming one Of the most interesting
topics for discussion before the third
annual convention Of the Iowa State
Association OF Graduate Nurses. now
meeting in Des Moines. The bill was
not passed by the Thirty-first general
assembly for the reason that 1t was
not in the form preferred by the
nurses.
In the discussion Of the bill at the
convention yesterday it was shown
that the graduate nurses object to the
examining board being the state
board of health, but want this board
to be made up of graduate nurses.
They are urging the passage of the bill
with this change. It's passage will
make necessary the passing Of an ex-
animation by all nurses before they
will be. given certificates and tends to
raise the standard Of the profession.
Miss Blanche Bowker of this city, IS

tee of tho convention. Miss Sadie Nc
Mullan Of this city, is also in attend
ance.

tIonaI Quarantine Bill.


Washington, D. c., June 13.-The re-
publican steering committee of the
senate met today and considered the
question Of the adjournment Of con-
gress as soon as possible after next
week. The committee was in session
for an hour and adjourned convinced
that nothing stands in the way Of such
a program.
An understanding was reached in
the senate today that q vote probably
will be- had on the canal type bill next
Friday.
In view Of the practical certainty
that no vote could be had on the
Smoot case at the present session
Chairman Burrows, chairman OF the
committee on privileges, has decided
not to call up the case for considera-
tion until next session.
Bill to Conference.
The house today sent the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill and
the bill providing for the subdivision
OF lands entered under the reclamation
act to conference and then took up
the consideration Of the sundry civil
bill. The senate adopted the confer
ence report on the national quarantine
bill and the measure now goes to the
President.

Senator Dolliyer called up the bill
transferring Clinton county from the
northern to the southern judicial dis.
trict, this evening and passed 1t. II
becomes law with the signature Of

To Settle Typo.
An unexpected snag was struck to
day In the movement for an early ad-
journment. It Is possible the type of
the Panama canal must be settled be-
fore congress closes It's business. Sec
retary Taft was in conference with
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Hep
burn of the committee on interstate
commerce, which handles canal legis.
lation and there is a disposition to set
tie the type before adjournment.
Who Shall Pay costfi
The question Of who shall pay the
cost of meat inspection, the govern.
ment or the packers, is the only one
remaining unsettled by the house com.
mittee on agriculture. All other pro
visions of the inspection amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
have been agreed to and the measure
will be presented to the house today
If the committee, which seems pretty
evenly divided on the question of plac.
ing the cost, can agree on that provi.
sion.
