BOARD RETURNS
FROM OES MONIES
CONTRACTORS AGENTS LOUNGE
ABOUT COURT HOUSE TODAY
AWAITING AWARD.

The board Of supervisors, Auditor
James F. Stevens and Architect G. NJ
Kerns returned last night from Des
Moinesh where they had visited the
Polk county Jail to inspect the appar-
atus that is installed in that Jail be-
fore passing on the bids that have been
submitted on the new Jail for Wapello
county. During today the second floor
Of the court house has provided a
lounging place for several representa-
tives Of firms that have bid on the new
jail and who lie in wait for the call be-
fore the board to demonstrate their
apparatus or discuss the conditions Of
their bids with view to landing the
plum. The likelihood of reaching any
decision by the board Is hardly evident
today as the number of bids and the
close figures submitted in several OF
the proposals made by the builders,
makes the problem of deciding one re-
curing some thought The latitude
given bidders In the matter of mater
ials according to the specifications
may change the amount OF some of the
bids considerable when the question OF
materials is gone into by the board DIS
lit lowers or raises q number Of the
bids accordingly as the conditions are
given. The figures stated Monday were
those read by the auditor when the
lids were opened, but at that time the
conditions Of the bids where these OBJ
tanned, were not gone into because OF
the great length OF time necessary to
read them all In detail.

New York, Feb. ga nationwide
movement for the abolishment Of
Creek letter fraternities and sorori-
ties in high schools has been started
by the board Of superintendent Of the
New York schools. Their rcommnda-
tions are backed by reports received by
schools suprintendents of twenty-five
schools of the country who are opposed
to the secret society. The board

foster an undemocratic spirit, lead to

TAFT SERVES
NOTICE SENATE
Must GET BUSY
TELLS SENATORS CRANE AND
CARTER SPECIAL SESSION WILL
BE CALLED UNLESS REc!PRo-
CITY BILL is VOTED ON.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-Presi.
dent Taft served notice on congress
today through Senators Crane and Car
ter that there must be vote on the
reciprocity agreement with Canada or
he would call congress lack in extra
session almost Immediately after
March f.
The president summoned Crane and
Carter to the white house this morn
ing. Vice President Sherman and
Senator Smoot also were in the con-
ference with the president.
Although Messrs Crane and Carter
declined to discuss their mission to the
white house the report soon leaked
out that the president was insistent
upon vote 1t is said he made plain
his belief that the country generally
favored the adoption Of the reciprocity
trade agreement with Canada; that
the Mccall bill to put the agreement
into force will pass tl.ls house with
"a large majority and that the senate
would enact the measure If given an
opportunity to vote upon 1t.
Senate Rules Bar to Vote.
The rules of the senate which permit
unilmited discussion of a measure are
the principal barriers to a vote in that
body. 1t is known that Senators Hey.
burn and Bailey are bitterly opposed
OF the agreement, and that the opposl-
ton extends also to most OF the pro-
gressive republicans who represent
agricultural states. Some OF these
senators have hinted that their rela-
tions with the white house have not
been sufficiently pleasant of late to
cause them to exert themselves IN sup
port Of an administration measure.
Senator Crane and Carter entered
at once u1on a campaign designed -
advance the presidents program.
put Reciprocity Above Tariff.
The impression has prevailed at the
capitol that President Taft would IN
sist upon votes on both the Canadian
agreement and the bill to create a
permanent tariff board. but the first
particularly was requested today. Ac-
cording to the general report at the
capitol the president placed the
Canadian agreement above the tariff
board measure and would be satisfied
If the former were enacted at this
session. In the event Of the perma-
nent board bill should fail it is be-
lieved that an appropriation would be
voted in the closing days of the ses-
sion to continue the existing board for
another year.
Culom Defends Elections.
In brief statement in the senate
today MT. Cullom Of Illinois, said that
never had q dollar been corruptly used
In any of his elections He declared
the people Of Illinois to be as moral
as those of any other states and said
they could care of their own good
name.
