DIES MONIES. Ia. April.-(speclal.)-A
great deal OF interest was shown In Iowa
today over news that Justice Deemer had
visited the White House and held a confer
ence with the president. II Is known that
President Taft has been so impressed with
the record Of the Iowa chief justice that he
desired a personal conference with him.
and he has taken the trouble to inquire
into the character OF the opinions written
In the Iowa court the last fifteen, years.
Iowa friends Of Deemer are now conf
dent he Is being considered for the judge
ship.
New Head OF Girls school.
A report is current today that owing to
the many recent outbreaks at the state
Industrial school for girls at Mttchellville,
the governor Is now engaged in looking for
a new superintendent OF the institution.
The governor, having taken the school
under his personal charge the last year
TO d large extent, feels responsible for the
serious situation and will try to bring
order out Of chaos.
Temperance I'm the Campaign.
A strong effort is being made to mix up
the temperance or prohibition issue with
the pending state campaign Some Of the
friends Of Governor Carroll ave begun
to complain because the temperance vote
is apparently going largely with the pro-
gresslves. They are attacking John H..
Hamilton, who Is to become general secre-
tary OF the prohibition movement, and
pointing out that two years ago he was a
candidate for governor for the very pur-
pose Of defeating 0arst and this year he Is
actively at work for Garst. They say that
the resolution Of the church OF which the
governor is a member pledging him and all
members to support a prohibitory amend
ment now places Governor Carroll in line
for the solid support of the prohibitionlsts
and they resent the attitude Of Hamilton.
They also declare there is no warrant for
the fact that Attorney General Byers and
Special Counsel Cosson are both receiving
the solid support of the temperance ele-
ment. A big prohibition convention is to
be held here next week when the matter
will be aired.
school Scandal discussed.
The new scandal in regard to the state
school for girls at Mltchellville Is causing
much comment. The superintendent re-
ports today hat all is quiet there and no
further trouble is anticipated. A strong
effort was made to keep the matter of the
last outbreak secret, as It was supposed
lnhl WIN the ClduBb On llS UOdAu VI SOh-
troll all possible cause Of friction had been
removed. Governor Carroll inttmates that
he will have something further to say on
the matter. The fact was disclosed in the
office OF the board OF control today that
the attendance at the school is decreasing
and in the last year has been cut down
thirty-fours ~
