lever sharp turn in the forward
motion, looked about and grinned,
as the car was propelled forward at
a killing pace, and remarked to Cur

in anticipation that the trolley

take no risks with the car rushing
on at better than a mile a minute.
The Northwestern was a good half
mile ahead, but the motorman fast

and train was shortened until the

exclaimed Farley, disembarking
from the car at Kelly and straining
his eyes backward for a glimpse of
the rival train. "I'll speak to|
Crooks, Sullivan and big noises of

have your wages elevated to the sky
line. If you'd lost that race I'd set
you back about $40 a month"
At this stage the Northwestern
train swung up to the depot and
Farley chatted amiably with the
engineer and asked him if it would
be convenient for, him to meet him

HOLLOW VICTORY
FOR WEBSTER CITY Y
Boone Newspaper Gives its Version
of Saturdays Foot Ball Game
in That City.

The Boone News-Republican calls
the Boone-Webster City foot ball
game in that place Saturday a "hoI
low victory" for this city. The
Boone paper says:
Webster City won a hollow foot
ball victory on the local grounds
measure of the local high school
team, six to nothing. Boone scored
two touchdowns in the last quarter
and neither of them were allowed
by Referee Sherman of Grinnell.
The score really should have been
Z to 6 for Boone. Granmer made
both Of them but owing to the
"beefing' of the head coach from
Webster City they were not allowed
Referee Sherman after the game
said both plays were started before
his whistle was sounded. If this
was the case he showed that he was
acting very unjustly towards Boone
for the first touchdown was made
ON the second down, then he ah-
nounced that the play shad been
started before the whistle had
sounded and he could not allow the
touchdown. Had Boone been given
a fair shakedown he would have
stopped the play at once and got
the players into action legally.
Much protest was registered against
the work of Referee Sherman in the
last quarter and much indignation
against the unsportsmanlike actions
of a Webster City teacher who It
was stated was head coach.
The attendance was not as large
as it should have been and it SEEM
ed that there were nearly as many
Webster City people at the game as
there were from Boone. Daniels.
after steady gains, placed the ball
behind the goal posts for touch
down, and this was the only. score
allowed. F.--
The Webster City players were a
splendid lot of young men but some
of the followers they brought with
them We're not, and feeling ran high
at different stages of the game
against some of those on the side
lines who were loud in their re-
marks and strong in their breath.

The coroner's jury which investi-
gated the case of Ernest Carney,
who died at the hospital Sunday
morning, rendered the following
verdict: Ernest Carney came to
his death by being struck on the
head with a beer bottle in the
hands of Geo. Rice"
Few new facts We're brought out
OF the hearing. Some eight or SO
witnesses were summoned by the
jury, According to the testimony
of some of them Rice had said when
he returned to the ditchers' camp
that he and his companion were
wrestling when Carney seized him
by the throat and the blow was
struck with the beer bottle to force
him to release his hold. Others tes-
tilted that the trouble was started
as was first reported, that is, from
an argument as to which was the
right road leading to Kamrar
The authorities have, sent out de-
scriptions of Rice and it is hoped
he may be apprehended and made to
suffer the penalty of his murderous
act.

GENTS. WIN. OUT
Judge Bradshaw, Of the Des Moines
District Court, Holds Pro-
:. posed Advance is
Illegal. .-.
THE OLD RATES MUST REMAIN
Decision of Far Reaching Influence
Includes Order all Over
: the State.

Des Moines, Oct. 22.-John d.
Porter, Webster City, Iowa: The
attempted increase in rates by the
head camp of Modern Woodmen of
America is held to be illegal by
Judge Bradshaw in an opinion rem
dered today. The injunction is
granted. Charles w. Lyon.
E The foregoing is a copy Of dis
patch received by John D. Porter
clerk of the local camp of Modern
Woodmen and a leader in opposi-
ton to the proposed increased rates
of the head camp. This will be good
news to the insurgent element of
the order, which includes perhaps
nine-tenths of the membership. The
insurgents have held all along that
the action of the head camp in in
creasing the rates was unlawful and
that if the proposed rates were put
in operation it would be only
matter of time, and comparatively
short time at that, when this great
mutual insurance organization
would be disintegrated and wreck
ed. 1t has been freely charged that
the old line insurance companies
were back of the movement for the
increase, the motive being the
upon the order and the consequent
rush of new business to the old line
companies.
Injunction proceedings have been
instituted in other states and it 'is
likely the judgment of Judge Brad
shaw will be upheld in every state
where such proceedings have been
started

WHAT EDUCATIONAL
EXPERTS SAY
Regarding Proposed Changes in In
stitutions at Ames, Iowa City
and Cedar Falls.

In the discussion of the eoordina-
ton OF the three institutions Of
higher learning in this state recent
ly recommended by tho Iowa State
Board of Education, which is now
being taken up by the newspapers
over the state and by the alumni
and interested friends of the vari
GUS institutions affected, is the criti-
icism that the action of the board
has been hasty and III considered.
But this can scarcely be said to
be true for the board before taking
definite action submitted their plan
to the following educational experts
of the United States asking for their
opinion of the proposed changes:
Doctor Kendrick c. Babcock, expert
in higher education of the Nation
al Educational Bureau at Washing
ton; Doctor Henry S. Pritchett,
President Of the Carnegie Founda-
ton for the advancement of Teach
ing and former president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology; Doctor Andrew S. Draper,
Commissioner Of Education of the
state of New York; Doctor Albert
Ross Hill. President of the Univer-
sity of Missouri; Doctor Charles R.
VanHise, President Of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and Doctor James
e. Russell. Dean of the Teachers
College of the University of Colum-
bia
With one exception, that of Doc
tor Draper, all of these men have
approved Of the action of the board
either without criticism or as the
best solution of a diff1cult problem.
Doctor Babcock of the National
Bureau Of Education at Washington
says: 81 am convinced that the
execution OF the plan that you have
suggested, or, one not greatly un-
like it in substance. with firmness
and consideration, would be APPROX
ed in the long run as both far
sighted and statesmanlike. 1t i'm
presses me as a lucid, logical and
courageous statement of very Diff
ficult problem which confronts 9TH
err states as well as Iowa, and as Of
fering solution which is timely,
equitable. judicious and practicable.
/ have watched for many years the
complex situation in Iowa and in
some ten or twelve other states hav-
ing similar conditions, with grow
ing surprise that the people Of these
states should continue to tolerate
such cumulative, unwholesome and
extravagant rivalry of state sup
ported institutions"
