UNIQUE DOCUMENT LEFT BY
IOWA CITY MAN TO HIS
ToRicAL SOCIETY.

Iowa City, July 2O.-A unique docu
ment bearing the names Of many
prominent Iowans and showing the in
terest felt in the state university soon
after 1t was founded has just been
given to the state historical society
by the estate of the late M. w. Davis

Gently after residence Of 60 years in
this city.
The document which is dated 1849
Is promise to pay certain sums to the
state university for the purpose OF
setting out trees and improving the
campus. The document has many
signers, but the strange part is that
only two Of the signers have paid the
sums promised which amounted to
about $3.50.
The amounts may be collected by the
state at the present time. Each sub
scription, together with the compound
interest since 1849, would amount to
more than SO.
Among the signers Of the pledge are
William Penn Clark, former promi-
nent lawyer of Iowa and later a noted
attorney Of Washington, D. Gu; U. s.
Senator James Harlan then a minister
at Iowa City; DR.. Henry Murray, one
of the first physicians of Iowa and

SIGNAL SYSTEM
NEW REGULATIONS MAY BE MADE
As RESULT OF DISCLOSURE
IN WRECK INQUIRY.

Chicago, July 2O.-Drastic reforms
in the signal systems employed on
railroads and the rules governing those
in charge thereof, are to be demanded
it was declared today, as the result OF
the conditions disclosed in the testi
mony yesterday at La Grange at the
opening session of the coroner's In
quest into the thirteen deaths caused
by the wreck on the Chicago, Burling'
ton & Quincy railroad at Western

witnesses heard by the jury yester,
day, Coroner Hoffman said today,
opened so many avenues that ought
to be inquired into that investigation
Of several phases of the situation is to
be made before the inquest Is re-
sumed next Monday.
The reforms which are to be de-
manded if the testimony is substan-
tiated, as intimated today by Coroner
Hoffman, will be these:
Railroads will be compelled to have
automatic signal systems so that when
a stop signal is set and train 10
stopped, the stop signal next behind
the one set be automatically set Also
thus making it impossible Tor Two
trains to enter upon the same block
when one is delayed.
Rule to Force Teiephonlng.
Rules governing the operators OF
signal towers are to be changed so
that operators, when having stopped a
train which, through some mistake or
unavoidable cause, has passed the sig
nal and gone into the next block, Will
be required to telephone the signal
tower next behind and have pursuing
trains stopped at that tower.
Rules calling for caution on the part
Of engineers are to be rightly enforced
and in cases of extreme fog, such as Is
said to have existed In the vicinity OF
Western Springs Sunday, the engineers
are to be compelled to run their trains
under full control.
These reforms, it is declared, are to
be brought about through the efforts
If the interstate commerce commission
md the state railway and warehouse
commission, both Of which bodies had
representatives at yesterdays session
If the coroner's inquest. The state
body also is to conduct an investiga.
ion Of it's own next week.

JEFFERSON co.
FAIR AUG. 70
REFUSE TO HAVE
GROUNDS soLp-pEClDE TO
HAVE AVIATION MEET.

Fairfield, July 20.-Jefferson county
is again to have county fair.
Three or four years ago many Fair
field and Jefferson county people be-
came convinced that the day of the
old fashioned county fair was over and
that chautauquas and summer gather
ings of the kind were taking the place
of the good old time fair where neigh.
bors, school mates and old friends met
In happy reunion year after year. For
three years there has been no attempt
to hold county fair here and steps
were being taken to dispose of the
fair grounds, when few shareholders
appealed to the supreme court of Iowa
and that body decided that the grounds
should not be sold and that county
fair could be held again If the share
holders wanted 1t.
Such men as Ralph Lamson, Charles
Cox and others called meeting at
which there was great deal of enthu-
siasm for the return of the old fash
toned fair. The dates August 7, s, g
were decided upon and now premium
lists are being sent out. Some excel
lent races are being arranged for and
number of free attractions have al
ready been secured. A contract has
been signed by the officers of the Fair
association and Robert Fowler, the
noted aviator, who gained fame few
months ago by flying from coast to
coast, for an exhibition of travelling
in the air on both the last two days
of the fair. Mr. Fowler has guaranteed
that he will be on hand with his air
ship SO that it is felt certain there
will be no disappointments. A good
old fashioned fair will be held and
everybody Is invited to attend it.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT

Iowa City Republican: A railway ad.
vertisement says that "only the skies
are blue in Colorado" Just try one of
the fashionable hotels out there for a
| week or two and there will be some
thing blue besides the sky If draft
from home Is delayed in arrival.
Creston Advertiser Gazette: We
don't want the pessimistic grumpler In
this country today. We don't need the
man who is always ready and willing
to find fault and who delights in pull
Ing down instead OF building up. What
we need here is the big-hearted opti-
mist The fellow who can see the good
that is in every one and in everything.
The nan who is always ready to assist
in good cause and who with enthus-
iasm gives his support to every move
ment which means for the building up
and the progress OF the country.
vinton Eagle: The question for you
is-What can Woodrow Wilson bring
you that Taft has not brought? Aren't
the business and farming interests of
the country safer in the hands Of Presi-
dent Taft and republican congress
than in the hands Of Woodrow Wilson
and democratic congress? Political
theories are losers when pitted against
practical business principals and
necessities.
Guthrie Center Guthrian: It is a
solemn thing for a man to tear him

his party. We are reminded this
