CEDAR RAPIDS PASTOR RECEIVES
CALL FROM GREAT ENGLISH

TO LOOK OVER FIELD
Dr.. Joseph Fort Newton to Preach in
City Temple Five Sundays and Then
Decide on Acceptance Of call-er.
Newton Only Man Being Considered
For Passionate.

Cedar Rapids, June 6.-Dr. Joseph
Fort Newton, of the Liberty Christian
church Of this city. who is to preach
in the City Temple of London, Eng
land the five Sundays in July, is be-
ing considered as the future pastor OF
that temple. In fact the officials OF
that great English Free church have
agreed upon DR.. Newton as their fu-
ture pastor and they will seek to pre-
vail upon him to accept.
DR.. Newton made this announce
ment at the meeting held in honor OF
himself and DR.. Marquis of Coe Col
lege, by the Rotary Club. He said
he had received request from the
City Temple authorities that the
church be allowed to send him call
as their pastor He had promptly
cabled them not to do SO. He said for
him to receive and act upon call at
this time would be unjust to the mem
bers Of the great English church and
it would be unfair to himself. But he
is going to preach the. five sermons he
has agreed to preach; and to make
the several addresses he has agreed
to make. During that time he will
consider whether he shall accept the
call which is certain to be made. He
Is the only man that the church there
has under consideration as the sue
cessor to Rev. r. j. Campbell, who
recently resigned the pastorate and
went into the Episcopal church.

MUscATlNE is BUTTON CENTER
Over Half of Factories of State 10.
Gated There.

Muscatine, June 6.-That Muscatine
has more than half of Iowa's pearl
button factories, is indicated by statis-
tics just published by the United
States department Of commerce.
The government report shows that
there are eighty-one factories iii this
state, showing the Importance of the
pearl button industry in Iowa. OF
these no less than forty-one are in
Muscatine as shown by the city direc-
tory. However, dozens of small plants
are not registered locally which would
bring the total much higher.
There are but SIT factories in the
entire United States, says the United
States report. OF these 225 are located
in New York, 81 in Iowa, 50 in New
Jersey, and 81 in Illinois. Muscafine
was the first city in the world to have
such a factory, the industry having
been founded here. -.
The total value Of products manu-
featured in 1914 was $50, 791 1855. In 1909
the total value of the product was
s22, 7Os,o65. The total amount of but
tons during the census year amounted
to 0,S02 $50 gross. The most impor-
tant branch of the button industry was
the manufacture of pearl buttons
either from mother Of pearl or from
| the shells Of the fresh water pearl.

NO EXTRA FOR ENuMERAToRs
District Court Rules Against Census
Takers.

Council Bluffs. June 6-Judge Thomas
Arthur in District court has ordered
dismissed the suit Of w. c. Cheyne
against the board of supervisors in be-
half Of the census enumerators ap-
pointed by Assessor F. C. Riker for the
state census of 1915, seeking to collect
money they claimed due for enumera-
ton of the population of Council Bluffs.
The enumerators, one for each pre-
cinct of the city, transferred their
claims to Cheyne, who sued to recover
the maximum allowed by the law. when
the board of supervisors fixed the rate
OF their compensation lower.
The court, in dismissing the suit, de-
clares with emphasis that the board
had the right to fix the compensation
and that if the plaintiff was not salts
fed he was not obliged TO take the job.
The fact that the compensation was
fixed after the performance of the SER
vice. the judge held. did not relieve the
plaintiff from the binding effect of the
boards action, and costs of the action
were ordered taxed TO plaintiff.
The fourteen claims which were con-
solidated for purposes of the suit,
amount to approximately Sis to s13l
each at the rate claimed In the au-
ditor's office after the decree was
signed it was stated that the board had
not dealt with the enumerators but
solely with the assessor and that set
Element had been made in full with
him. so the suit had no effect on the
