EnJoined from selling Park.

Judge Wheeler OF the district court has
issued a decree although II has not yet
been entered on the court records, making
permanent the temporary injunction Sc
cured by the board Of park commissioners
Of Council Bluffs restraining Secretary of
State Martin from selling to the Illinois
Central railroad strip 200 feet in width
through Big lake, or as it is officially
known, Lakeview park.
Since the suit was begun the general
assembly has passed an act surrendering
all of the states title in the lake and ac-
GREETED land to the city of Council Bluffs.
The Illinois Central was originally granted
a right-of-way 100 feet in width by the
park board through Lakeview park but
fearing that under the law granting the
state the right to dispose Of abandoned
river beds some one might purchase the
land. filed an application with the secretary
Of state to purchase an additional fifty
feet on each side of its right-of-way.
The suit TO enjoin the sale by the state
Of any portion of Lakeview park to the
Illinois Central was instituted by the park
board last July.

In the south the movement has received
a degree OF encouragement from the Of

PLAN TO TRAINN CADETS
COnEressmen Think Prospective Naval
Omceru should Have Early
Experience at Sea.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Among the
plans suggested to Secretary Bonaparte for
Improvement in the discipline at Annapolis
is one that cadets be given a two years
cruise around the world before taking up
their academic studies.
congressman and some naval officers who
favor this plan say that one benefit would
be that boys would have a chance to dis
cover their own unfitness for sea life be-
fore reaching the academy. 1t is pointed
out that some officers are always sick at
sea and many would resign for that reason.
but think it is too late to take up another
line OF work on a recent cruise Of an
American warship the executive officer was
sick in every bit of rough weather, throw
ing an additional burden Of work on other
officers.
Secretary Bonaparte, however. does not
favor the plan and will not recommend 1t
to congress. He believes that the new or
der OF things at the naval academy will
give the requisite discipline without the pro-
stationary course suggested.

CANADIAN CATTLE BILL UP
Member of British House Declares
There IL No Danger from
Disease.

LONDON, April Elm the House Of Com
mons today Thomas Cairns moved the
second reading of the bill to remove re-
strictions on the importation OF Canadian
cattle. Existing conditions. he said, were
against the principle of free trade, were
unjust to Canada and injured shipping in
terests. He declared that the DOGGY OF
disease has been dispelled and that re-
moval OF the restrictions would not affect
the value OF Irish cattle.
The members who opposed the bill based
their objections on the risk of the re-
Introduction into Great Britain of the foot
and-mouth disease and on the preference
which the bill gave Canada over the rest
of the world.
William OBrien, nationalist, said that
if the restrictions were removed it would
render at least 100000 holdings in ireland
absolutely Improbable and would destroy
the Irish cattle trade.
Finally. the Cairns bill was chalked out
without a division.
