their way to Sioux Center, la. They
had sold all their belongings and af-
ter paying $3.50 for their ocean and
railroad fares as far as Sioux Center
they had only $50 left. An immigra-
ton inspector sent the family to Ellis
island, where Bleyenberg and his
family were almost in despair, fear
ing the hardship OF being sent back
to Holland. An urgent telegram for
aid was sent to the mans rich uncle,
Alt Bfeyenberg, in Hull, Iowa, and re-
lief was afforded them. The ten chill

HEALTH BILL REVISED
OWEN MEASURE CONTEMPLATE
INDEPENDENT BUREAU.
Planned to Give Director Greater
Power Than If He Was Member
of the Cabinet.

Washington, March 6.-An indie
pendent national bureau of health
now is contemplated by the Owen bill.
Under the proposed measure the
director of healtb is independent OF
all except the PRESIDENT His bureau
is in no department, and his power,
If the bureau be created, will be great
or than if he were a cabinet officer.
The Owen bill is still in the senate
committee on public health and ma
tiOnal quarantine The bill was tenta-
lively amended to provide for an indie
pendent bureau. The director Of
health is to be appointed for six years
at a salary of $4,000 per year. He is
10 have three commissioners of health
under him, two Of whom shall be
skilled sanitarians and one a skilled
statistiCian. who shall serve at the
pleasure Of the president upon the
recommendation Of the director Of
health"
Another tentative amendment to tho
act provides that the bureau of health
shall have no power to regulate the
practice Of medicine or the practice
of healing, or to interfere with the
right Of citizen to employ the prac
titioner OF his choice within any state
of the Union and all appointments
within the department, including the
head OF the department, shall be made
without discrimination against Any
school Of medicine or healing" Oppo
nents Of the measure urge that the
amendment simply emphasizes their
argument that a department would
mean state medicine without in any
way protecting individual rights. An
illustration given is found in the fed
eral service al present, where only
the old school of practitioners is rep
resented in the 1000 physicians en-
ployed
Seven bureaus and subdivisions are
provided for under the following
titles: Public health and marine-hos-
pital service; foods and drugs; vital
statistics child hygiene; sanitary en-
gineering; personnel and accounts;
publications.

STRIKE HALTS LINERS
TWO AMERICoN SHIPS CANCEL
THEIR SAILING DATES.
RaiIroaders Throughout United King
dom Continue to Lose Jobs Be-
cause of Coal Shortage.

London, March 6.-The sailings OF
the American Line steamships Phila-
delphia and New York from South
ampton for New York on March 13
and March 20, respectively, have been
cancelled in consequence OF the coal
strike.
Railroad workers throughout the
United Kingdom continue to be dis
charged from their employment owing
to the shortage of coal, necessitating
the restriction of the train service. At
Newcastle another 1000 men were
added to those who have been thrown
out Of work on account of the strike.
The train services are being further
curtailed in all parts.
The cross-channel service between
France and England has been re-
duced to one steamer daily on the line
between Folkestone and BoulOgne.
New York, March 6.-Not for an
nitely whether or not coal strike
similar to that which is now threaten
ing to paralyZe the commercial aCtiVi-
ties of England will be ordered 4
week from today will settle the issue.
On that day a joint conference will be
held in this city between authorized
representatives of the miners and OPP
eratiyes with the object Of getting to-
gether, if that be possible.
At meeting here of representa-
tives Of virtually the entire hard coal
industry the operators boldly defied
the threats of the miners and positive
ly declined to grant any of their de-
mands. The chief Of these demands
are 20 per cent. increase of the pres
ent wage scale, reduction OF the work
ing day to eight hours and the en-
forced collection of union dues by the
employers.

Washington, March 6.-Thousands
OF Americans, mostly women and

orozco's Success Causes Alarm.
The victory OF the revoIutionists
under General Orozco in Chihuahua,
and that Off calls threat to march on
Mexico City, and the determination
of President Madero to give him bat.
tie is what has caused the terror to
foreigners in Mexico City. Those for.
eigpers who are still in the provinces
are terror-stricken as a result OF the
depredations and rioting of the rebels
and brigands.
While every effort is being made by
state department officials here to dis
credit the reports of the alarming
state OF affairs in Mexico and the large
exodus of foreigners. it is known that
many of them are worried and that
graver complications are apprehended
U. S. ofhci,ls Apprehensive.
One of the chief causes for appre-
hension by American officials is the
fate of the fifty Americans. II is
feared these Americans have met
death.
FTOU Ieildulc SOhiNeo II was iVoi hCu
that If harm has befallen these Ameri.
cans President Taft will hesitate no
longer about the propriety of interven-
ton. He will put the matter squarely
up to congress and demand that ac-
ton be taken to put down the revolu-
ton and protect Americans who have
not succeeded in getting out Of that
country.

COULD NOT ATTEND FUNERAL
FATHER DENIED RIGHT AND DE
NAL is SUSTAINED.
Peculiar Case Reviewed and Sustain
ed BY the Supreme Court
of Iowa.

Des Moines, Mar. Especial: John
d. RAIDER, of Boone, brought suit
against his father-in-law, Jesse Davis,
who refused to let RAIDER enter his
home to attend the funeral services
for RAIDERS child.
In the district court, the trial judge
ruled that Davis rightfully refused
the father entrance. RAIDER had been
divorced from his wife, Davis daugh-
ter. She returned to her fathers
home to live. There the child died.
After the divorce was granted RAIDER
did not live up to the terms of the de-
cree.
RAIDER carried his suit to the SUI.
preme court, where a decision was
returned yesterday, affirming the low
er court.
The supreme court opinion says:
There is no implied invitation for
anyone to attend funeral conducted
from a private dwelling unless it be
announced that such funeral is pub
lie, and even so announced the license
or invitation may be revoked and any.
one denied the right to attend whose
presence might be Objectionable, the
lord of his castle may so far exercise
his authority as to say that his wife's
relatives may not visit her, either in
sickness or in health"
Summarizing, the court says, "the
plaintiff had no right to attend the
funeral and defendant had the un'
doubted right to keep him off his
premises. Having the right of select,
ing his guests or visitors his mali
cious motives in excluding one does
not give that one right of recovery"

convention in Oska!Oosa this We'd
nesday afternoon for the purpose of
naming two delegates and two alter
mates to the national republican con-

ing 1t was notable gathering of
the party workers from every county
.Or the district. Delegates were ac-
.CUmpaniCd by numerous prominent

preliminary work Of the meeting
made lively times.
Delegates began arriving in town
and by evening the Hotel Lacey,
which was made headquarters, was
crowded with delegates and visitors.
After supper an old time party love
feast was enjoyed by the crews. 1t
was sort of an open caucus for the
discussion of the work of the NOR
row. One sentiment that seemed of
spontaneous origin was to the effect
that the delegates selected by the
convention should be instructed to
vote for William Howard Taft for re-
nomination to the presidency This
sentiment was practically unanimous.
Discussion as to choice of delegates
and alteruates occupied many of the
members Of the gathering. No one
seemed opposed to the candidacy OF
James A. Dewitt Of OskalOosa for one
| of the delegates, but when the prob
| lem for the selection of the second del
egate was preached no one was Ger
/ tain. No county seemed TO have any
particular choice until in the prelim
! mary work OF this morning when the
name of W. 4. Harper of Ottumwa
