Des Mones. Nov. 5.-'rhree important
recommendations will be made to the
state legislature. as Il result of the ac-
ton of the executive council of the
Iowa Teachers Association, now In ses-

tract binding for an entire school year

tion. Under the proposed law. no

ed, a teachers fund TO be provided by

line is secured, the council will recon-
mend that school boards of the state
supply school children with leaflets
containing instructions on the care of
the teeth and general health rules
These resolutions will come up for
action by the association Saturday af-
ternoon. More than $500 teachers are

No Authentic Report That Roosevelt

Interior and Far From Telegraph
Station.

Washington, Nov 5.-A rlImor that
Ex- President Roosevelt had been, killed
in Africa was afloat in Washington
this morning, but a diligent search fall
ed to discover the slightest foundation
for It, Inquiries from many parts Of
the country make it evident the rulnor
is widespread. At the Smithsonian In
stitution not the slightest word Of such
q fatality or even of an accident has
been received.
The state department, which would
be most likely to be notified by its con-
sular representatives in Africa, had re-
ceived no such news. Nor has word
come from the Associated Press COR
respondent who is accompanying the
Roosevelt party in East Africa as to
any mishap to Roosevelt or any other
member of the party.
Confidential information from a
source whose reliability can not be
questioned obtained here this afternoon
makes it apparently absolutely certain
that no tidings of any mishap to
Roosevelt have reached this country by
any ocean cables This seems to estab-
lsh the fact that the rumor is without
foundation.
Unless the plans of the party have
been deviated from, Roosevelt should
oe now on the Guasingishu plateau.
He left Londiani with several compan-
ons Oct. 26, arriving at Aldama ravine
the following day. The last word from
his immediate party was from Aldama
ravine, and was received in this coun-
try by way Of Nairobi Oct. q. At that
time the party was preparing to pro-
ceed Immediately for Guasingishu pla-
teau. 1t was planned to return to Lon
diani in five weeks. The Guasingishu
plateau is vast open plain in the north
of Kisumu province. 1t is the hunting
ground visit to which had been
eagerly anticipated by Roosevelt. The
direct route had not been determined,
so far as is known. when the party
left Aldama ravine; but working west
ward by the most likely path, the party
would in very few days be at Nandi

ton. News of the arrival at this point
