WATER SUPPLIES
STATE AND GOVERNMENT TO co.
OPERATE IN EXAMINING :.
THE RIVERS.
IBY ORA WILLIAMS.1

DeS MOtneS, May 26.-Dr. herman
Stabler of Washington, D. c., will prob
ably be the man sent by the federal
government to Iowa to make a study
of the pollution OF river waters and
the purity Of the water supply fol
cities.
The women's club had DR.. Stablel
before them. DR.. Guilford H. Sumner
Of the state board of health, was pres
ent also and had q consultation with
the representative of the government
DR.. Sumner was greatly pleased with
the interest manifested by the WON
eD In the subject of the survey OF the
state with regard to pure water.
DR.. Stabler spent two years In Ohio
working in conjun ction with the state
board Of health and two years in Con
necticut II he comes to Iowa It will
be az u part OF the work being done by
the geological survey. The Iowa leg

Law 10 Effective.
Some amusement has been offered
by reason of frantic efforts made tc
havesit appear that the law relating
to injunctions against property on &C
count of vice conditions is not part
Of the law Of the state, because of the
fact that the speaker Of the house did
not certify 1t to the governor.
The precise question was raised In
Kansas where the speaker had failed
to sign within the time specified. The
Kansas supreme court took the ground
that IL q bill could be defeated and
destroyed In this way by any one OF
the several persons who are supposed
to certify 1t to the governor it would
mean that five or six people have a
veto power. In fact, the court pointed
out, the veto power Of the presiding Of
flcers or clerks Of each house. would
be more easily exercised than the veto
power of the governor. Hence the
court held that law could not be null
lifted in any such way.
Just why there is much great desire
to have this law nulliled in Des Moinei
doesn't appear on the surface. 1t has'n
been invoked here but the fact Of i
being on the books has cansed an Inn

Too Much Rainfall.
The Iowa weather and crop report
for this week will not be optimistic
Conditions have been about as bad as
they could we'll be the past few weeks
and reports from the northern part OF
the state. and for that matter from al
most every part OF the state, show
that the heavy rains were highly In
furious to crops. The gardeners about
Des Moines are already declaring that
there Will be light crop of vegetables
The ground OF Iowa has not been 60
thoroughly saturated with water for a
great many years as at the present
time.
Encampments Fixed. -..
Two of the annual encampments OF
the national guard have been definite
ly located-one at Washington, the
other at Charles City. 1t Is probable
another will be located at Storm Lake
as a proper offer has been made and
inspection of the camp site has been
ordered
The other one is wanted at three
different places in southwestern Iowa.

WISCONSIN FANS WANT
PACkEY MCFARLAND BARRED
Boxing Commission Likely to Forbid His Appearance in
Badger State for Six Months

Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 1O.-Packey
Mcfarland may be barred from Wis
consin rings for six months when the
state boxing commission meets shortly.
Supreme disgust is the only thing that
characterizes the feelings of the fans
here and the pressure is SO great that
the state body viii undoubtedly be
forced to take some action.
AfcFarland's disregard of the rules
under which the sport lives in this
state was so fragrant before the Brit
ton fight that the commission is split
over his case and 1t is said authorita-
lively that his suspension will be or
dered in few days.
Chairman Liginer is being freely
criticised for his leniency in permitting
Mcfarland to weigh in private for him
and later announcing that the pound
age had been satisfactory" 1t looked
like huge concessions to save the
promoters money and seems to be the
first step in tearing down the string
ent rulings under which the game must
survive.

DECISION TODAY
ON HARVARD GAME
President Judson Calls a
Meeting of Maroon Board
to Vote on Contest.

President Harry Pratt Judson o. the
University of Chicago took a hand in
the negotiations for 1914 Maroon
Harvard football game yesterday, when
he called a meeting Of the board OF
physical culture and athletics for this
afternoon to consider the proposed bat
tie. The action of the university head
in insuring quick action and favorable
opinions expressed by faculty members
sent the prospects for the intersection
al contest higher than they have been,
since the Crimson offered Coach Stage
date last week.
The board members will be expected
to discuss all the reasons for and
against the game that have been flying
about the campus for the last three
days, and 1t is likely that a definite
vote will be taken. In case President
Judson receives a strong recommended
ton in favor of the game from Coach
Stage this morning it is thought the
directors advice Will be followed, as
it is the Maroon policy to give Coach
Stage free sway in the matter of the
schedule.
If no further word is received from
Coach Stage, the board will either set
tie the case as it sees fit or wire the
the Midway that Coach Stage wants
the game. but the only word received
from him so far has been his message
with the information that Harvard had
offered the date of October 81 for a
| meeting at Cambridge.
The Maroon authorities cheered the
students yesterday by declaring that
Harvard had not definitely refused to
come to Chicago in 1915. With this
phase of the matter still uncertain, the
board may decide to ask Harvard for
! information and postpone final action.
| Coach Stage may have a chance to
/ talk with the board members person
ally before the final action is taken, as
he is expected home from Pinehurst
some time next week He told his
friends when he left for North Caro-
! lima that he intended to be back by De-
| cember IS, and 1T is thought that he
| will not extend his vacation if he
| thinks his schedule plans are likely to
| suffer.

Tackle Is Chosen Captain OF
the Football Team for
1914.

Notre Dame Ind. Dec. 1o.-"Deac"
Jones, tackle of the Notre Dame elev-
en-, was elected captain for 1914 at the
annual football banquet held at the
Oliver house last night. The honor
comes as a reward for two years OF
great work on the team Eighteen men
received monographs. The banquet was
the final event for the Notre Dame
team of 1913.
Twenty-Five men reported today for
the first track practice of the season.
Among the number were Captain Hani-
han, Plank. Birder. Miller. Bascolupo.
Bergman. Rockne and Miller of the
1913 team. Coach Harper intends to
push track work this year and will put
the men through hard workouts daily
from now on. Although several men of
last years team. WATSON, Brichard,

and strong team will be developed.

1t was the first time in the history
of the new law that the exact weights
of windup fighters were not announced
when the men were introduced in the
ring. The fans are incensed. They
feel that boxing has been done a great
injury and blame the chairman of the
commission for 1t, as well as McFar-
land.
Not only Packey's refusal to have
his weight made known has angered
the people who paid to see the affair.
His exhibition in the ring was so
mediocre that it seems hardly neces-
sary to bar him.
1t is doubtful If a Milwaukee pro-
moter will be intrepid enough to bill
Mcfarland within many months to
come. Such a fight wouldn't pay hall
expenses. But the fans demand his
disbarment, principally because it may
knock him out of several New York
fights.
The Wisconsin and New York boxin g
commissions are supposed to have ar
understanding which will make a dis
bafment effective in both states
