In an interview in Des Moines last

clared that in his judgment President

it to go over the regular session, and
he entertains the hope that 1t will
pass.

south of the city. Here one Will find
irrigation carried out in scientific

plan adopted by Mr. Schwartz has
been to pump water around the trees

The result has been to rejuvenate
old trees and cause them to bear bet

The plan of irrigation is carried

Mr.. Schwartz. This is noticeable par

One of the early victims Of the

painfully burned about the face by the
unexpected explosion of Are cracker
held in the hand of the little girl. She,
with other children, was duly celebrat-
ing the nations birthday by the usual
method of shooting Are crackers at
her home on West Fourth street.
While blowing upon fire cracker to
enkindle it's light, the cracker burst in
her hand and caused painful powder
burns about her face and neck. The
burns were not serious enough to
break. the skin OF the face, although
they caused severe pain and neces-

is not thought that any serious re-

burns owing to the quick response Of
the medical aid which allayed any

REALTY FIRM
FORMER NEW YORK MAYOR AND
COLUMBIA COLLEGE HEAD
OBJECT TO USE OF NAME.

| New York, July 4.-Former Mayor
Seth Low has brought Injunction pro
ceedings against real estate firm
which calls itself the "Sethlow Realty
Company" to prevent the company
from using the name "Sethlow" for an
apartment building which overlooks
the campus of Columbia university of
which Mr.. Low was at one time presi-
dent. In his affidavit the former
mayor says:
II was graduated from Columbia
university in 1870. became president
of Columbia in 1890 and served until
1901. Since my retirement from the
presidency my relations with Columbia
university have been most cordial. I
am now a trustee of the university.
The respect of all the students and all
persons connected with the university
is matter Of concern to me-"
Chas A. Capron, law clerk, sup
ports Former Mayor Lows proceed
ing with an affidavit that some of the
college students have wondered re-
Gently whether Mr.. Low was really
interested in the apartment and
Columbia's former president
was trying to let apartments to
students.
The proceeding probably will not be
resisted as the state law on this sub
ject declares that "a person, firm or
that uses for advertising |
purposes or for the purpose Of trade, |
the name, portrait or picture of any |
living person without having first OBJ
tanned written consent of such per-
son, is guilty of misdemeanor and is
liable to an action for an injunction
and damages"
