London, July 3.-The banks of the
Thames where the oarsmen of the

the scenes Of extensive precautions to
prevent any disturbances of the races
by the suffragettes. Following the
sensational act at the Derby when
the kings horse was thrown by wo-
man. rumors have been prevalent Of
plots to interfere with some Of the
important events of the Henley. There
are fears that an attempt. may be
made to destroy or injure some Of the
boats and that wires might be stretch

Washington, July S.-The most in
teresting and perhaps the most sensa-
tional phase of the congressional in
vestigation Of the so-called lobby at
the capitol will come next week. when
the charges Of Col. Martin M. Mulhall
will be sifted to the bottom.
Colonel Mulhall himself will first
be asked to testify. For several
years he was an agent Of the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers,
letters and kilograms that this or
ganization established and has main
tanned powerful lobby at Washing
ton since 1904 for the purpose Of in
fiuencing legislation favorable to man
ufacturers and against labor.
He will attempt to show that
many congressman and senators
worked hand in glove with the manu-
facturers' lobby; and that they were
campaigns and in aother- ways, and
that congressmen and senators who
refused to Join with the lobby and
who workad for the interests OF
labor were hampered in every way
and II possible were defeated at the
polls.
Among those implicated by Null
e. Watson Of Indiana, republican
whip Of the house Of representatives
from 1902 to 1908. and floor leader
of the republican national conven-
ton in Chicago in 1912. Mulhall de-
clares that Watson was one Of the
most important allies of the N.
A. NJ.
Other congressman mentioned by
Colonel Mulhall as Influenced by the
lobby are James T. McDermott,

trict. avowed champion of labor in

THREATEN TO LOCK OUT
10000 MEN IN CHICAGO
Contractors in Arms Over Jurisdic.
tional Questions Existing Be-
tween Unions.

Chicago. July 3.-The building ma
terial interests threaten to lock out
their 10000 employees within ten days
If before that time the building trades
unions do not settle the jurisdictional
strikes which resulted two weeks ago
in the lockout of 10000 men by the
contractors. Construction work on
improvements valued at s30,000,00
has been tied up for two weeks.
Conditions in the building industry
for the past several years have been
unsatisfactory on account of numerous
strikes upon buildings. principally be-
cause of jurisdictional disputes be-
tween labor unions" reads the resolu-
tion adopted last night by the mate
rial men. "These disputes have caused
innumerable and almost continuous
strikes upon the building interests in
general, thereby causing serious finan-
cial loss to builders, employers own
ers and ourselves"
A lockout by the material interests
would bring the total of men affected
by the labor trouble in Chicago up to
so 900.

CONVICTED MAN TO FLY.
Supreme Court Grants Earl Lindsey
of Newton, Three Months
Lease.

Earl w. Lindsey, of Newton, under
life sentence for criminal assault on
a young girl at Colfax, has lease of
freedom for three months. This
lease was given him by the Iowa SUI
preme court with the consent of the
attorney general of Iowa, George
Cosson, under most unusual circum-
stances. Lindsey is an aviator, and
being out on bonds pending the ap-
peal of his case, has several lucrative
contracts for the summer. An ap-
plication for a rehearing of his case
in the supreme court has been on
file for some weeks. Today the
court granted a motion to extend
the hearing of the application until
fall.
That Lindsey has sufficient con-
tracts on hand as an aviator was
shown, and that he can by fall make
large sum of money to give his
wife, was also shown to the court
and the attorney general. The high
officials took the ground that Mrs.
Lindsey might as well get this money.
Lindsey is sentenced for life, for the
crime committed and his appeal to
the supreme court has already been
lost His standing in court now is
only on an application for rehear-
ing

RAISE FOR TEACHERS.
Minimum Wage Law Goes Into Ef.
feet on July Fourth.

School teachers, especially those
tricts, will undoubtedly hold off sign.
ing contracts until after the new
minimum wage law goes into effect
July 4, 1913. After that date school
boards are required TO pay not less
than a certain wage for school
teachers. This minimum ranges
from $3.50 to $4,000 per month
and the law is applicable to- every
school teacher contract in the state
The impression that the purpose al
the bill was to apply only to country
school teachers is erroneous. Nat
urally school teachers in the country
will he more generally affected, as
it is III the country that the school
teachers have been receiving the low
wages.
The minimum wage of the school
teachers of Iowa is based on grades
of the teacher on her county or state
certificate. Certificates are by this
new law divided into three grades
first, second and third. The grade
for a first grade certificate must be
between IS and 100 points. Any
teacher who holds a first grade GER
tificate must be paid not less than
three times the grade he or she
made.
For example, if a teachers certifi-
cate is 80, the minimum wage is
$2.70 per day. At the average OF
twenty days a month the salary OF
this teacher cannot now be less than
$54 per month.
The second grade certificates in
clude all where the average grade is
rs to IS per cent. A very large num-
Der of country school teachers come
under this class. School boards must
pay not less per day than 2 ga times
the average grade. For example, a
teacher with a grade of 80 must re-
ceive at least s2.20 per day or $44
per month.
Third grade certificates include all
average grade between IS and rs per
cent. No teacher may be paid less
than 2 1-2 times this average grade
per day. For example, grade Of 70
entities the holder of the certificate
to receive not less than $1.75 per
day or s35 per month.
Nothing in the new law prohibits
any school board from paying more
than the minimum wage. School
board members who enter into con-
tracts for less than the sums men
toned in the minimum wage law
may be fined or sent to Jail, or both.
Normal, college or university train
ing, when properly shown, may en-
title the holder of certificate to
three additional points on average
grade.
