The President entertained at din

there been traces of this disease, and

Gust Clerk Brown in Emmett County

Gust Clerk Brown in Emmett County.
Des Moines.-The supreme court
has ousted C. NJ. Brown as clerk of
the district court of Emmett county
and ruled that l.. Heffalfinger is the
duly qualified clerk for that county.
The decision was given in the case
of State of Iowa on relation of l..
Heffalfinger against c. NJ. Brown. In
the election of 1908 one John Amund-
son was elected clerk. He died that
month, and the district Judge appoint
ed Brown as clerk until the vacancy
was filled. The board of supervisors
at their December meeting selected
Heffalfinger as clerk. Heffalfinger de-
manded that Brown turn over the
Office keys to him. Brown refused and
Heffalfnger brought quo warranto
proceedings.
The opinion of the supreme court,
affirming the district court, which
held that Brown was not entitled to
the Office, was written by Justice
Weaver. He said that the district
court is not authorized by the sta
tutes of the state to fill such a va.
cancy, either temporarily or other.
wise, and holds that when the SUI
pervisors appointed a man to fill the
vacancy caused by Amundsons death,
that any power given Brown by the
district court was revoked.

State Cattle Have TuterculosIs.

Des Moines, Dec. IA serious cpl.
demic of tuberculosis has appeared
among the cattle in the state herd at

Paul koto. to order nearly forty head
killed.

ed to the test. DR.. Koto at once or
dered that they be killed. Chairman
Cownie and the other members OF
the state board of control could not
believe that such a situation existed
and Chairman ~Cownie went to Mt.
Pleasant to be present when the cat
tie were slaughtered and the post
mortem held. Chairman Cownie has
always opposed these tuberculosis
tests, claiming that they did not
amount to much. At the time the last
general test of state cattle was made
he became convinced, after the post
mortems were held, that there was
something to the test.
Nevertheless, he believes that the
test made by DR.. Talbot at Mt. Pleas
ant is pretty strong and for this
reason he deemed it advisable to be
present when the postmortems were
held. DR.. Koto said that nearly forty
head had responded to the tests.
At Eldora recently DR.. Koto applied
the tubercuin test to the state herd
and found that four cattle responded
to the test. These four were among
a consignment shipped to the insti-
tuition from Illinois.

WILL FIGHT THE STEEL TRUST
ORGANIZED LABOR PREPARES TO
OPPOSE "OPEN SHOP"
Cow of Grievances Is Sent to Presi.
dent Taft and Governor OF
States.

Pittsburg, Pa.-At the close Of a
momentous two.days' conference here
Tuesday, war was formally declared
upon the United States Steel cor
poration by the leaders of organized
labor throughout the United States
and Canada.
The decision to battle long and hard
against the stand taken by the steel
corporation in its policy of open
shop" was reached by the labor con-
ferees only after hours of debate and
a deal of trouble.
In a resolution adopted by the ma
tional labor leaders, organized labor
throughout the country is called on to
thoroughly and completely organize
all employees in the iron, steel and tin
plate industry, ordering an assess
ment of ten cents per member. rec
ommending appointment of commit
tees to see the president, congress and
the governors for the purpose of lay
ing before them the grievances from
which labor suffers at the hands OF
the steel corporation"
At the conference, which passed
the remarkable battle decree, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, presided, and
through him the measure was put
upon the record books Of the execu-
tive council of the federation.
The grievances of organized labor
against the steel corporation, as set
forth in the resolution. have been for
warded to President Taft and the Uni
ted States senate and house Of repre-
sentatives. The governors OF the
states in which the United States
Steel corporation owns plants or has
interests will also receive a copy Of
the resolution.
The resolution deals principally
with the low wages paid the men IN
the employ of the steel corporation,
the hours of work and the general
condition of oppression under which
the corporation is alleged to hold its
employees.
Thorough organization Of all en-
ployes in the iron, steel and tin plate
industry and correlated trades is urged
and a call for organizers to assist IN
the work is made.

The question Of insanity in the
state institutions was the theme for
the morning and DR.. McAllaster said
that the state should permit insane
persons to voluntarily enter the state
institutions. His suggestion raised a
storm of protest from several of the
conferees, their position being that
such rule would open the way to
untold fraud and injustice. The OPP
ponents of the plan declared that in
many instances relatives of persons
who had money or property, would in
duce those persons to voluntarily en-
ter the state insane hospitals and
then while they are confined there,
gain control of the money or prop.

The entire question OF insanity was
thoroughly discussed and the confer

by Governor Carroll in recent ad-
dress, wherein he advocated the Gre
alton of special commission to
make study Of insanity among the
patients of the state institutions as
