TRIANGULAR DEBATES
Penn wins from Leandsr. Clark and
80. Loses TO Parsons -, f

The third triangular debate be-
tween Penn, Parsons and Leander
,Clarp colleges last night resulted in a
victory and a defeat for each school.
In every instance the home team,
which was also the team supporting
the negative sides of the Question,
came out victors. Penn defeated
Leander Clark here, Parsons defeated
PENN at Fairfield, and Leander Clark
wen over Parsons at Toledo. Penn
was the only team gaining a unani-
nous verdict, however, the others
winning by ballots of 2 to l. The ques'
ton under discussion was, Resolved,
that the policy of fixing a minimum
wage should be adopted by the state
legislature" .>..
The Penn negative team, consisting
Of Ralph Sherman and Walter Dexter,
won over the Leander Clark team last
night in Penn chapel before a large
audience. The desicision of the judges
stood three for Penn. The Judges
were Prof. Chas. B. Wilson, of Iowa,
State University, Iowa City, DR. Burns
of Des Moines, and II. ID. Kearney OF
Marshalltown. The debaters on both
teams put forth some strong argu'
ments in support OF their side of the
question, but it was easily seen that
the Penn team was far superior to the
'Leander Clark team. One of the Penn
debaters, Ralph Sherman, had taken a
place on the team but a few days be-
fore the contest, being substituted for
Jens Jensen who was sick, but he ac
quilted himself in manner worthy OF
veteran. debater A reception was
rendered the visiting team at the close
of the contest.
The Penn affirmative team lost to
Parsons last night at Fairfield by a
vote, Of 2 to l. The judges were the
superintendent of schools at Wash
ington and Centerville, and Frank
Stewart, attorney of Charlton. The
Penn team consisted of Frank Mar
shall and Linneus McCracken. Theil
alternate, Chars. Conoyer, was unable
to accompany then on account of sick
ness. - 49,. ,

MAY TEST IOWA PAVING LAW
FEARS or CITY OFFICIALS ABOUT
s. ASSESSMENTS 70 BE ouiETED
ottumwa May Lead-Attorney o
That City Confers With cosson
t.. On Proper Move. a,3'

Des Mones. Feb. 23.-Friendly &C.
ton to test the new paving assess.
ment law is advised by Attorney Gen
eral Cosson in order that fear enter
tained by city officials of the state
will not check street improvements
this year. 49, ,.I.+ : ~. &. -
j If a case is begun at once. it will be
possible TO place it before the 50
preme court at thei March term and
an opinion may be handed down IN
April the attorney general says. This
will be. in sufficient time to permit
cities to let their contracts and carry
out all of their projects before cold
weather. Cities which wish to get tn
early start may have all of the con
tracts ready to sign by April so that
the test of the law will not delay
them day, it is suggested. -.
There is sufficient doubt in the
minds of the city officials of the state
to warrant test of the law, the attor-
ney general says. The statute or
ders city officials to assess property
within 800 feet of street improve
ment as we'll as the property which
abuts on the Improvement. The as
sessing may be done by the benefit
plan or by grading the assessments
on a percentage plan. Both ways
cause city officials to fear long and
expensive litigation over every i'm
provement.
| The city attorney of Ottumwa came
to Des Moines to confer with the at
torney general regarding the law. II
is probable that 0ttumwa win take
up the suggestion of the state Official
and bring friendly action in the
courts so that the statute may be
construed There is but the one
point involved, and if both sides are
in earnest, the attorney general says
the case can be carried on with lit
tie expense and that an early decision
can be secured from the supreme
court. .'..
While some OF the cities of lows
are planning pavement, sewers ant
curbing improvements, there is. great
Iuneasiness over the new law and af
fairs everywhere are tagging. In Des
Moines there is plenty of agitation
for new pavements, but the city coun
ell has done nothing toward putting
the proposals through. Other cities
report the same conditions. 1t Is
only the uncertainty OF the. law which
! is retarding matters.

More Claims AGAINST York.

COlfaX. Feb. 23.-Mrs. Annie A.
Wheelock, eXecutrix of the estate of
her husband, the late NJ. b. Wheel
0ck, cashier of the Citizens State
bank at ColfaX, has filed claim for
$l0,70l.34 against G. III. York, bank
rupt grocer, in the United States dis
trlct court at Des Moines. Two
promissory nCtes which York is said
TO have executed to Wheelock make
up a portion Of the claim. One note
for $4,000 is dated May 6, 1900, and
marked payable. on demand" The
other note is for $1,000. 1t was
drawn April IA, 1910, and became
due June II. 1910. The rest of the
claim is for checks which York wrote
and Wheeloek made good. Two
weeks ago the Citizens State bank
filed claim for approximately $21,.
600 against York, the greater part OF
it representing an overdraft York
had at the bank. II. II. Whitaker,
referee in bankruptcy, will call a
second meeting of the creditors OF
York soon. David r. Trip was
appointed as trustee at the last meet.

War On Train Gambling.

Nevada. Feb. 23.-Judge Lee of the
Eleventh judicial district of Iowa is
strictly opposed to the growing prac-
tice of gambling on trains and has
taken a decided stand on the question
of the playing of draw poker
"rumm" and other popular games for
money. When he gave his instruc-
ton to a grand jury in Franklin coun-
~ at the February term he advised
them to take the matter up for in
vestigatiOn. The railroads passing
through this judicial district have
been advised by Judge Lee that they
will be expected to abolish the prae-
tice on their trains, and if such ac-
ton is not taken promptly, he will adj
wise all grand juries to take the mat.
ter up with the idea of securing in.
dictments against the roads as well
as the men who practice the habit.
