ity over Mrs. William Cummings Story OF
New York Of only eight votes out of S7S
ballots cast. The election was character
lied by a bitterness that prevented the mo-
ton of Mrs. Story to make the election
of her rival unanimous. being adopted with
out dissent from a group of anti-adminis-
tration delegates.
Last night thirty tellers counted the bal
lots for president-general. Each of which
was read three times in order that no mis-
take be made.

When the hour of converting arrived to-
day, the count had not been completed.

The proprietors of thirteen Of the nine

signed an agreement to close their places

Insurance War
Fraternal Companies at Outs Over
Reciprocity Feature and Com
plants Have Been Made.

PIERRE. S. D., April 24.-(Speciai.)-
There appears a little tangle In the in
surance field among the fraternals OF this
state and Iowa. The Iowa insurance com.
missioner refused to grant the Home Guar
dams, a fraternal company, with head
quarters at Mitchell, this state, the au-
thority which they asked to establish their
lodges in Iowa, on the ground that the
South Dakota company does not comply
with the Iowa law requiring rates OF fra
ternal companies to be on what Is known
as the adequate rate basis, before they
can be allowed to do business in that
state, and q claim on the part Of the
Iowa department that the Home Guardians
do not come up to the requirement.
As a result Of this action the officers
OF the Home Guardians filed a protest and
complaint with Insurance Commissioned
Basford, demanding that he apply the law
Of reciprocity, and cancel the licenses un-
der which five Iowa fraternsl companies
are doing business in this state, the Isl
being the Yeomen. Mystic Toilers and
Homesteaders OF Des Moines; Modern
Brotherhood OF America. Mason City; Fra
ternaI Bankers of Cedar Rapids.
I Commissioner Basford set Saturday, April
"A. as the date for a hearing on the APP
plication, and served notice on the Iowa
organizations, citing them to appear on
that date and show cause why their H.
censes should not be Cancelled. on the
complaint of the Iowa companies that the
date did not give them time to prepare
for the hearing. they have been given an
extension. and the hearing will be at some
future date, not yet fixed.

Carroll TeIIs About KeIta.

Al the same time Governor Carroll gave
out a statement as to why he asked the
executive council to cut the January and
February expense and per diem bills of
b. f. Keltz SIG. OF this only SIS of an
error was claimed for January, and the
remainder was for claimed errors in June,
July and August of last year. The gov
ernor states tina he has evidence that the
items were incorrect, as for instance,
Keltz claimed to have made a trip to Sioux
City on one occasion, when, II is said-
evidence exists that he came to Des Moines,
and on another occasion he claimed to have
travelled from Davenport to Des Moines
when, in fact, he went direct TO Webster
City. The council has asked that keltz
take up these items and explain them, and
IL the governor is Incorrect, then these late
bills will be paid in full.
The governor also states in an announce
ment for publication that the council took
up the bills last Tuesday and that the
council was unanimous in determining to
discharge Keltz. other members of the
council will not admit that this is the
/ case.
In a statement previously given to the
public Keltz. indicated that the chief pur-
pose of the actions against members of
| the commission was to make room for 9TH
ers on the board. as the governor was de-
sirous of recognizing the board with HIS
friends. Keltz declares his ability to re-
flute every statement of fact as to the
claims of the governor, and that he will do
so If confronted with the evidence in the
case. ..

ParadinE in Uniform.

It has Just been discovered that included
in the new military bill which the legisla-
ture passed increasing the annual allow
ance of the state guard, is a clause for
bidding the wearing of military uniforms
on the streets by others than military COM
panies The bill had been presented sep
arately and was not looked upon with ia
vor. Then It was included in the larger
bill and slipped through. It provides a
fine OF from $50 TO 800 for the wearing of
either the real aAicles of soldier wear, or
uniforms similar to this. unless the wearer
is a merbe of the regular army, the state
militia or a military school. A special pro-
vision is made that lodge member may
wear similar uniforms in their hall drills,
but this does not allow them to appear on
the streets.
Street Car Line in the Balance.
Not only are the owners OF the Del
Moines street railroad deeply interested in
a case argued this week before the fed

the people of the city are awaiting the
outcome with some lmpatience. The city
undertook some years ago to terminate ar
old franchise which the company claims IL
perpetual and which had been decided ad,
verse 10 the company in state courts
Judge Mcpherson accepted jurisdiction in
the federal court and enjoined the city
from interfering with the operation of the
street cars. Now the city has asked the
supreme court to dissolve this injunction
as no federal question is involved. In
case the city wins 1t will exact from IN,
company its own terms for renewal OF
franchise.

thirty citizens assembled in the Office
of DR.. e. E. Haines last night to dis
cuss the political situation in this

The outcome of the meeting last

pointed to wait upon Mayor Tregan-
