Schemes for Divorcing

Washington. June 10. Attorney
General McReynolds disapproves both
of the W. latest plans for the dis.
solution of the Union Pacific merger

oppose the adoption of either plan or
the ground that each is toe vague to
meet the requirements of the supreme
courts decision ordering the dissolN-
ti5n of the merger under the Sherman
law
Not to Insist on Receiver.
Mr.. McReynolds last night indicated
that he would not go before the cour,
with an insistence or a r~eceivershir
for the merger as he said that was
a question for the court. If a plan
of dissolution of the merger satisfac-
tory to the court is not submitted by
July l, the supreme courts mandate
provides for. a government receiver
ship to accomplish the dissolution.
Mr.. McReynolds said he sympa.
tbized with the efforts which Rober,
Union Pacific had made to draft a
plan OF d.sintegration, but hat he
could not bring himself to agree to
the propositions now before the cour
In his opinion, the plans do not pro-
vide a definite time for the s%urrendc!
by the Union Pacific of its %s126.65o.-
900 worth of Southern Pacific stock
and he also regards them as vague
with respect to the extent to which
the present shareholders of the Union
Pacific may purchase the surrendered
Southern Pacific stock.
Sale by Public Subscription.
The railroad ccmpany's primar,
plan provides for the sale of the
Union Facific's holdings of Southern
Pacific stock by public subscription
similar to city bonds, while it's alter.
nate plan provides for placing the
d~isfranchised stock in the hands Of d
trustee and the issuance Of certificates
Ct interest against it. the certificates
being offered to shareholders of the
Union Pacific. These certificates wou,c
be exchanged for the stock upon the
filing of an affidavit that the holder
did not own any of the capital stock
of the Union Pacific.
From the first the attorney genera
disapproved of the alternative plan
but this disposition toward the pri.
mary plan was not known until TODAY

JURY SELECTION
PROCEEDS SLOWLY
Only Twelve Men Had Been
Examined by This Noon
Veniremen Questioned.

Only twelve men had been exam
:ned by noon today in the effort to
select a jury in the Goodrie ~ Very
slow progress is being made, each
venire man being very closely ques-
toned.
The length of time necessary to
select a jury is unusual. The fact that
the details of the Goodrie case nave
become so well known to the public
is n reason why it is hard to find
ar unprecedented man. Most of those
examined have already formed opin-
ions.

next Friday, April 25th. In letter
written to all the school teachers OF

county superintendent of schools, hes

hints for. Arhor Day. The following
is the letter.
..By proclamation of Governor
Clarke, April 25th has been set aside
as Arbor Day. Accordingly, wish
to urge you to observe at least por-
ton Of that day, either in cleaning
the school house and grounds, or in
planting trees and shrubs; for envi.
ronment exerts great influence upon
the life of the child. If the school
room be clean and CHEEKY. the
grounds well-kept and attractive, the
pupil will acquire a love for order
beauty and cleanliness.
In the selection of trees and shrubs
the plant life of the vicinity shoulc
be used; for it is easy to obtain, and
will teach the pupil to appreciate the
common, every day beauty of the
neigEboring field, forest and stream
Such plants as the following are good
elm, oak, evergreen, linden; among
cultivated shrubs, the lilac, snowfall
and roses are excellent.
81 trust that you will observe, will
zest, the matter of making the schoo
premises more attractive; for, by 81
doing, you will give the children
day of real recreation, exert a salu
| tary influence upon them, and arous'
the interest of the parents in th'
well-being of the school" ~

FILE PETITIONS in BANkAUPTcy

On Saturday, April 18th, two Man
chester concerns filed petitions in
bankruptcy in the United States Court
at Dubuque, Iowa. The most Inn
portant Of these is the firm of kdnne
& Wright, the well known retail
shoe N merchants Their petition
schedules liabilities al approximately
S11 ,O60.00, and assets estimated \ At
$S,OOO.CO. The case has been referred
to Referee Harmon Of Independence
who has given notice that the first
meeting Of creditors will be held at
the Court House in Manchester On
May 9Th, when proof Of claims will
be received and trustee appointed.
The filing of the petition of Cary
Atkinson is merely a formality in
bringing his business affairs to a
final settlement. It will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Atkinson made vol
untary assignment several months
ago for the benefit of his creditors,
and his property converted into casn
for their benefit. In connection with
the assignment he offered his credi-
tors the proceeds from all his proper
ty not. by law exempt to him In full
settlement Of his creditors claims.
There were some obstacles In the
carrying out of his plan, owing to
disagreement among the creditors, and
Mr.. Atkinson is therefore ava1llng
himself of the bankruptcy laws. Mr..
Atkinson has for several months
been in the employ Of Henry Goodhile
who is conducting a grocery store IN
the same location formerly occupied
by Mr.. Atkinson's business, but, OF
course the petition Of Mr.. Atkinson
above mentioned in no way effect the
business in connection in which he is
at present employed.

and plowing. The bulk Of the oats is
now in, and with favorable weather,
all small grain will be sown before

earlier than usual, although farm work

HIGH SCHOOLS PRAISED.

The following is taken from the Du
buque Times-Journal regarding Whal
p. e. McClanahan, state inspectorzo oi
High schools and who recently IN.
spected the Manchester High school,
has to say about the schools Of Iowa:
The public schools i'll the te OF
Iowa have grown more dul the
past year than ever before in his
tory OF the state"
This statement was made By 2.
McC CIenahan, state inspector Of = b
schools, while visiting the Univ e
Of Iowa Saturday. There has
a marvellous growth in buildings, "
equipment in libraries and laDraI
les has increased almost beyond y
dreams OF educators. II Y
Teachers in the Iowa High schools
are better qualified than ever before
and as result salaries are the high
est in the history Of the state.
Interesting comparisons We're made
by Mr.. McClenahan to show the de-
velopment of the schools in Iowa. In
1880 the average monthly salary paid
to men teachers was $3l.16, today it
lis $79.11. In 1880 women teachers
were paid $26.2S on the average, to-
day they receive $4S.71. But with all
this advance in wages the number Of
men teaching in the public schools
has steadily decreased. In 1880 there
were 200 zen teaching in Iowa,
while today Jut $500 men teach.
INCREASE IN : NUMBER.
Some idea Of the advancement of
educational conditions can be realiz-
| ed, :" :" said MIR. McC lenahan, when one
considers that in 1860 there were but
I.40 High schools in the United States,
while today there are over 500 real
High schools in Iowa and nearly
every other state in the union has
made proportional advancement.
The average teachers salary in
the state OF Iowa is very low, yet
the state Is spending more than So
O00, 900 annually in salaries alone,
while the value of public school build
ings in the state is over $50, 100000.
During the past year Iowa has spent
a very large amount Of money upon
new buildings.
Mr.. McClenahan picked at random
dozen cities where the total. amount
for improvement approximated $1,000,
900. Following are the cities and the
Approximate cost of new buildings:
Boone, $125, 900; East Des Moines
$500, 900; North Des Moines, $150, 900;
Abba, 100000; Manchester, $4,000;
Fairfield, $4,000; Victor, $4,000;
Spencer, $50, 900; Baskerville, $780,.
900; Elkader, $4,000, and Orient,
$500 5.. &
