the state liability commission sAys
the commission will formulate 10
definite policy until after the United
States supreme court passes on the
constitutionality of the federal lid
bility law. If the court holds it I'M
constitutional, as did the Connecti'
cut supreme court, it will mean that
the state will have entire jurisdiction
of all railroads in its borders as far
as liability matters are concerned. A
contrary ruling by the court will take
from the state their powers over the
liability matters of railroad corpora
tons.
Secretary Given also announced
that the commission will meet in ten
days to discuss the German liability
and workmen's compensation system.
Over 1000 reports from Iowa corpora

New Warden Wants More Money.
Charles C. McClaughry. who will
succeed Marquis Barr as warden Of
the Anamosa reformatory Jan. 1.
will go before the next session OF
the general assembly with a plea for
an increased appropriation in order
to carry on the work Of reforming the
young wards Of the state in the best
possible manner.
Senator John F. Wade, a member
of the board Of control, in discussing
the retirement Of Warden Barr, ex-
planned that the cause for the change
at Anamosa Is the feeling that Mr..
Barr is not suited for reform work
such as the institution demands since
it has been made purely reforma-
tory.
1.-THE board believes that the high.
est returns possible will be secured
under the administration of Mr.. Nc.
Claughry, who Is young man and
a real reformer," said Senator Wade.
HE is going to ask the state for more
money. The institution is hampered
now by lack Of funds. AS soon as he
takes his office, Mr.. McClaughry Will
map out tho camgaign he desires to
follow, and will present a working
plan to the general assembly"
Should Employ Iowan ~ Warden.
"Patronize Iowa made goods has
been the cry in Iowa for the last few
years." said Charles Ruckman. 1t
should be amended to patronize Iowa
made goods and Iowa people. And
this should apply to the appointment
of state officials. The state board OF
parole has deposed 'Marq.' Barr a.
warden of the Anamosa reformatory
and appointed Charles c. McClaugh'
ry of Bonneville, Mo-, to the place.
McClaughry is superintendent OF tho
Missouri boys industrial school. Nc
Claughry may be good prison OIL
cial, but why should the parole board
go out Of the state of Iowa to get
a superintendent? People who pay
for the support Of these penal insti'
tutions should be given the choice
of the place instead of nonresident.
There are hundreds Of men in Iowa
who would make as good a prison Of
fetal as McClaughry. The state Of
Iowa will enjoy more success when
the people buy Iowa made goods and
the business men employ Iowa men
for all positions"

Proposal to Break up Gen.
Raney's Machine Great
ed Opposition.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10 The
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Eel
lows today selected Winnipeg, Cana
da, as the next meeting place. Fra
ternal politics began to sizzle today as
a result of the recommendation by
Grand Sire Cockrum that the office OF
Commander of Patriarchs Militant be
made appointive instead of elective.
A scheme alleged to be on foot is the
ousting of General NJ. A. Raney who
has held the position for nine years
under what is characterized as the
powerful machine built up by him.
Raney's administration has been high
ly satisfactory and he is immensely
popular. If the office is made ap-
pointive, A. r. Stocker of Ohio proba-
bly, will get it. A special committee
Of five including former governor
Dockery of Missouri, as member, has
the proposition under consideration.

BANK HERE
TO Be ADVERTISED
Government Will Send Cir
culars to All Citizens
of This City.

Assistant Postmaster Deuker, who
will soon assume charge of the postal
savings bank that is to be opened at
the Richmond post office on the 18th
of October, says that the explanatory
circulars which he has ordered, are
expected to reach here before the end
of this week. The circulars, which
furnish complete Information regard
ing the postal repositories, are to be
in an effort to interest them in the
new institution.
Among the facts of Importance con-
tanned in the circulars is the an
nouncement that only individuals,
and not corporations or firms, can
nave savings accounts in the govern
ment bank, The circular lays special
stress on the safety of these institu-
tions as they are controlled by the
federal government. Many ignorant
foreigners, not willing to trust the pri-
vate banks of this country, are send
ing daily large sums to Europe.
To simplify the bookkeeping in con-
nection with the bank, certificates of
deposit will be issued only in even
multiples of a dollar For those who
care to put in less at a time. a special
system of cards and stamps has been
prepared. According to this, a saw
ipgs card can be purchased for ten
cents. Then the depositor will buy
savings bank stamps of the denomina-
uon of ten cents, and paste them on
the card. When nine stamps have
oeen put on the card, the card may be
exchanged for certificate of 81. In
this way, no matter how small the
amount of ones savings, the postal
bank can accommodate the depositor.
Two times during each year. an ar
rangement is made so that with fiji.
teen days notice, depositor can con-
vert his savings account into postal
bonds if the latter are available at
the time.

A CHURCH CAMP PA|GN
For Sunday School Pupils Is
Great Success.

Almost one hundred new members
have been enrolled during the last
month in the First NJ. E. Sunday
School. This record breaking number
is the result of the campaign that is
being waged in that school to increase
attendance, and from the present out
look this school will soon be the
largest in the city. The First NJ. E.
church is making every effort to in
terest outsiders in the work of the
church, and is calling noted people
from various parts of the country to
give addresses.
Sunday, although it was still in the
vacation season when attendance is
usually small, two hundred and forty
were on hand to hear the addresses
given by H. S. Weed, secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. A, and H. c. Hunt, of Brant-
ford, Ontario, member of the nation
al board of Sunday school control
The speeches were timely and well re-
ceived by the school.
Many other churches are planning
similar campaigns for the fall and the
religious workers of this community
believe that more residents of Rich
mond will enter the churches and Sun
day schools this fall than ever before.

A BIC ENROLMENT
At LOCAL SCHOOLS
Baxter School So Crowded
That Authorities Must
Take Some Action.

After the excitement of the opening
day, affairs at the local public schools
quieted down this morning and the
regular work of the fall and winter
was started. Some work was done
yesterday afternoon, after the students
had been enrolled, but real work was
not attempted until today An exam
ination of the records of the several
schools disclosed the fact that there
are at least $500 pupils in the insti-
tutions, number fully as large as ex-
pected.
Only one school had enough pupils
to cause any alarm about the ability
to handle all of them properly. At
the Baxter school, 34S children were
entered on the books yesterday, and
the authorities fear that this is a
few more than the teachers in that
school can eQnyelisntix instr,act,.a-An
odd fact In connection with the large
enrolment is that the overflow does
not occur in any single grade, but
seems to be pretty evenly distributed
through the whole institution. Super
intendent Mott has not yet decided
what action he will take in the mat
ter, as he prefers to wait day or two
to see how matters stand. when the
schools are settled down to their regu-
lar routine.
Official Attendance.
The official attendance records, as
reported this morning from all the
schools except the Whitewater and
Vaile are as follows: High school, 535
pupils; Garfield school, 3S8; Finley,
222; Warner, 237; Star, 435; Hibberd,
2S2; Baxter, 34S; Sevastopol, 1888.
Most of the institutions report that
a good start was made Yesterday. In
the morning, at all schools, the whole
time was given over to the task of en-
roliment. In the afternoon, the pupils
in the grade schools returned and held
regular recitations, so that by today
everything was running smoothly.
The high school is still using short re-
citation periods, but will be on it's win
school seems to have been especially
fortunate in getting an early start, as
the teachers there say that they had
little trouble in organizing, and that
already they have good beginning on
their work.
DR.. J. E. King, the county health
officer. spent the entire day today
making his second tour of the country
schools. He is greatly interested in
the ventilation and conditions that
might affect the health at all the
schools. and is making special study
of one or two places. He did not ex-
pect to cover more than Boston, Abb
ington, and Center townships today,
but will go the complete rounds by the
end of the week.

MADRID, Sept. 19.-Spain is again

turbulent has become the volcanic
spirit of unrest, which has it's incep-
ton in the general strikes in Bilboa,
Saragossa, Huelva, Cadiz, Valencia, Gil
jon. that universal martial law and
complete suspension of constitutional
guarantees is declared.
Fierce fighting and bloodshed have
marked the spread of the strike, the
bitterness being intensified by the ac-
tion of Premier Canalejas in declaring
martial law in local centers where the
greatest social unrest arose from the
labor war. 5
That the anti-monarchists have
masked their activities behind the cur
tain of labor difficulties is becoming
more and more evident. Using this
effective cloak to hide their real de-
signs Republican leaders have so In
flaaaed the esMackman. -aeainst King Al
fonso and his Experiment that con-
dition of actual revolution today ap-
peared to be ouly matter of time.
The sinister designs of the radicals
have become known to the authori-
ties and today 115 arrests have been
made before noon. Some of the prison
ers were charged with political offens-
es while others were accused of incit-
ing disorder.
The port of Valencia is tied up and
constant fighting between mobs and
soldiers is going on. All telegraph
operators, railroad men, cork workers,
telephone employees and amny other
classes of workmen have either struck
or are threatening to go out.
The atmosphere in the labor war
throbs with intrigue and revolution.
A plot has been discovered for the as
sassination of Gen. Weyler, known as
the Butcher" who is in command Of
the troops in that hotbed of anarchy
about Barcelona. Weyler is advocat-
ing immediate death for all plotters
