State Veterinarian Resigned

DR.. J. l. Gibson, state veterinarian
of Iowa for most of the past eighteen
or twenty years, has resigned his po-
sition and will engage as manager OF
a large serum business in Illinois
There is movement on foot among
the veterinarians, horse and cattle
breeders and others interested over
the state, to have board of seven
named to guard and handle the health
of the stock of the state, some9Shat
after the plan of the state health
board Whether this will be accom-
plished or not is hard to say, but. il
is is not the state of Iowa will GER
tainly have to pay its state veterin-
arian salary instead of only his fam
ily's board. Dr. Gibson has made the
office of veterinary real department
in Iowa and has done it on a salary
of $500 year-about what some OF
the stenographers and clerks in Of
fees now receive.
The plan for securing a new $780,
600 temple of justice and law library
for the establishment of the north
east corner of the extended capitol
grounds was neatly projected this
week in bill providing for grand
memorial to the Iowa soldiers and
sailors of the recent world-war-the
aforesaid building to be the memoir
ial. That sort of camoufage ought
to get by with it. 1t is hard for any
legislator to shoot at our own sol
diers and sailors.
The appropriations committees
have already discovered that the hab-
it of thinking and talking in millions,
which was developed in the late war
activities, remains with the people
and institutions of Iowa to an extent
that is hard to keep down. The
amounts asked for everything are ap-
palling.

Take Turn Down

State Insurance Commissioner J.
F. Take, who was appointed by Gov
ernor Harding to fill the place of EN-
DRY English, resigned, was reappoint-
ed by the governor recently and his
name was sent to the senate for con-
firmation. A committee on investiga-
ton of the appoihtee reported Thurs
day morning and for two hours the
Friday morning and two hours the
senators were behind locked doors
secretly discussing the matter of con-
firmation with the result that Mr..
Take was turned down. Charges
against him were strongly PRESENTED
by numerous insurance interests, who
claimed he was discourteous and in
competent and everything else. It is
said some personal feeling may have
entered into the matter, also.
Road Legislation Coming go
Regarding all other reports. we
believe some real road legislation is
going to- come out of this session of
the General Assembly. But it will
lie a rewriting of all the highway
laws as we'll as the auto license and
motor tax laws. Road bills of a dozen
different kinds and bearing on vari-
Gus small phases of the road houses,
but they would muddle up things, it
is said, and would not get the state
out of the mud. With millions of fed
eral money sure to come to Iowa, the
disposition is to get practical road
making program started here that
will meet the requirements of the gov
eminent and secure this help. A
joint meeting of the highways COM
mittees of the two houses held re-
Gently indicated that bills will be soon
forthcoming that will be carefully
considered and fully meet the situa-
ton. The county option feature of
bond issues will, however, be about
all in that line that will come out of
it in the end Legislators may be
said to generally favor the issuing of
bonds to scure the best roads pos
sible, but they will not permit it to
be done without vote of the people
most directly concerned Like paving
in cities, it is regarded as a matter of
but a year or two more when every
locality will be favoring hard-surfaced
roads of either concrete or other per-
manent construction. The farm truck
is here to stay, and farm trucks de-
mand good roads.

DYNAMITE
UNDER TRACK
Quantity Found in the Out
skirts of Lawrence,
This Morning
THOUGHT INTENDED
FOR MILL WORKERS
Work Car Carrying Only a
Motorman and Conduc-
tor Was Wrecked

Lawrence, Mass, May ia quantity
of dynamite buried in the dirt, with
fuses laid across the street ear tracks
was found by the police near Cooks
Corner, Methuen, early to-day. Cars
from Haverhill with workers for the tex
tile mills here, where strike has been in
progress for more than three months
pass over the Cooks Corner route and
the first car was due a short time after
the discovery of the explosive.
A few hours previously work car
carrying only the motorman and con
ductor, was wrecked by an explosion in
another section of Methuen. This led the
police to examine the tracks throughout
the city, with the result that dynamite
was found near Cooks Corner. The work
car was running extra and it is thought
that the explosive, which it set off, had
been placed in position after the last
regular ear had passed for the purpose Of
blowing up an early car loaded with OPP
eratiyes on the way to the mills.

ENGLAND PAYS TRIBUTE
TO EDITH CAVELL
Impressive Memorial Service Held in
Westminster Abbey--After Funeral
Body Taken to Norwich. :

London, May Is (By the Associated
Press England paid tribute to Edith
Cavell, the English nurse executed by
the Germans at Brussels, Oct. II, 1915,
here to-day when her body, en- route
from Brussels to her native city of Nor
wich, was taken to Westminster Abbey
for an impressive memorial service.
1t was a public funeral, in which, it
seemed, every resident of the great me-
tropolis endeavored to participate. The
streets through which the cortege moved
were congested, and every inch of stand
ing room in the neighborhood of the alb
hey was occupied by densely massed
multitude which was eager to do rever-
ent homage to ''that brave woman" as
the bishop of London described her, "who
deserves a medal from the British EN-
pire."
The congregation at the abbey includ-
ed high officials of the government, rep
resentatives of foreign countries and men
prominent in all walks of life.
King George was represented by the
earl of Athone, brother of Queen Mary.
The service, which began at noon and
lasted half an hour, was conducted by
the dean of Westminster. No address
was delivered
After the service the coffin, of plain
oak, was placed on train for Norwich.
AT Norwich it was placed on a gun
carriage and was taken to Norwich
cathedral, The service, which was Off
cially designated "for the funeral of
Edith Cavell, a nurse who gave her life
for her countrymen," followed At its
conclusion the hymn "Abide with Me-"
which Miss Cavell repeated shortly be-
fore her execution by the Germans, was
sung, and the bugle sounded the last
post.

the body from Brussels to Norwich in.

TWO FARM FIRES
WITH $500 LOSS
Spencer Miners House and Horsebarn in
Orange and George Gordon's House
and Barn in Williamstown.

Two serious farm fires, involving an
aggregate loss of 81 500, occurred in the
Barre district yesterday afternoon, one
of them being the large two-story house
and horse barn on the Spencer Miner
Washington and the other being house
and barn Of George Gordon in the Toad
Hollow district between Barre and Will
Jamestown and just OIL the road leading
to Mill village. The fires were almost
simultaneous, that in Williamstown be-
ing shortly before 5 o'clock and that in
Orange little while after 5.
Mr.. Spencer was in his yard when he
noticed flames squirting out Of the roof
Of the house, the fire having probably
communicated from the chimney. He
promptly notified the other members of
the family who were in the house, and,
there being no chance to put out the fire
because of the lack Of ladders, they set
to work saving the contents OF the house.
They worked so swiftly that the entire
house was practically cleared OF the
moyabes except as to one room. Then
the horse barn was attended to, the four
horses being led out and some pigs be-
ing driven TO safe locality. The large
new cow barn built by Mr. Miner few
years ago, is situated across the road
from the other buildings and was saved.
Neighbors rallied to the aid of the
family but could do nothing to save the
house and the horse barn, both buildings
being burned to the ground. The loss Is
estimated at $1,000, on which there is a
partial insurance. Mr.. Miner bought the
farm Is years ago from A. S. Martyr
and had laid out considerable money in
keeping the buildings in a good state of
repair.
The fire in the Toad Hollow district Of
Williamstown started just before 5
o'clock from an unknown cause, the
flames breaking ont in the barn which
was connected with the house. Mrs.
Gordon, wife of the owner, was sick in
bed and her boy, returning from school,
rushed into the house with the announce
ment that the barn was afire. Mrs. Cor
dons mother and the neighbors assisted
the sick woman to the house of a neigh
Dor and only few chairs and some bed
ding was saved from the contents of the
house. Mr. Gordon had not returned from
work in the stoneshed in Williamstown
and when he got on the scene the house
was in flames.
The Williamstown fire department re-
sponded with one engine, but as there
was no water available nothing could be
done to save the buildings, although the
efforts of the volunteers were successful
in checking the grass fires which sprang
up all about the place. Mr.. Gordon car.
ried $1,000 insurance on the buildings
and contents, of which amount Sl,l00
was on the buildings. The place was for
merly known as the Potter farm.

Balloon Twenty-Five Hours
and Forty-Five Minutes
in Nonstop Flight
FROM MONTAUK
TO NEWFOUNDLAND
All Ready to Proceed to the
British Isles, Says Her
Commander

St Johns, n r., May l5.-The Amer
lean naval dirigible C-5, scheduled for a
possible nonstop fight from this port
to the British isles, arrived here to-day
after a day and night cruise from
Montauk Point, N. Y. The balloon had
been in the air % hours and 45 minutes.
The C5 reached the Quidi Vidi an.
chorage at LAS p. m. Greenwich (9:45
a. m. New York time). The start from
Montauk Point was made at s a. M
yesterday.
With the clear weather which pre-.
vailed throughout the balloons cruise
from Montauk Point yesterday and last
night succeeded by fog and rain, the
Chicago's radio operator received both
telegraph and telephone messages from
the fliers this morning The telephone
was indirect, but the telegraph flash
said that the Blimps navigator had made
an error in reckoning his bearings. A
few minutes later word was received
that the dirigible's course had been cor
rected and that she was proceeding
toward the anchorage here.
A landing crew from the Chicago was
on duty at the airdrome at sunrise,
ready to take charge of the balloon,
while Lieutenant Commander Poll, the
skipper" and his fellow aviators OBJ
tanned rest in anticipation of possible
transatlantic trip.
The dirigible reported her position as
probably over Trepassey," at 1880
Greenwich $3.50 a. m. New York timel
The Chicago started siren in operation
to guide the balloonists. As the morning
progressed, the weather began to clear.
Officers working on plans for the C-5s
possible ocean cruise estimated that
with favorable conditions flight to
England could be made in 40 hours.
This would tax the dirigible's fuel ca
pacity almost to the maximum, and if
headwinds developed it might prove nee
essary to shape the course to the Azores,
where fuel supplies already are awaiting
the several crews of ans-oceanic fiiers.
Weather conditions in mid-Atlantic
were reported as becoming more favor
able every hour, though the desired west
winds were still lacking.
