There i3 trouble brewing at the High school again and as the result of the ex- pulsion of two of its members Thursday by Principal Ensign the senfor class is said to be seriously thinking of walking out unless the two senlors are reinetated. Floyd Flickinger and E. E. Spetman suc- ceecded at the noon recess Thursday in holsting the banner of the eenlor class to the top of the flagpole on the High school building and for this Principal Ensign ex- pelled them. Following the holsting of the flag a fight ensued in the corridors of the building between the senior and junior classes, but Flickinger and Spetman were not mixed up in {t. Parents of the expelled puplls feel that Principal Ensign was too hasty and severe in his action and sev- eral members of the Board of Education are of the same opinfon. It is expected that a meet of the board will be held to take some action in the matter. Flickinger and Spetman at the noon re- cess Thursday climbed the stairs to the attic of the High school with the intention of flylng their class banmer from the flag- pole. At the door leading to the roof they found the janitor, who had received some inkling of their Intention. He tried to stop them, but the young fellows pushea him aside and gained the roof. of holsting the flag to the pole occupied The work | but a few minutes. In the meantime the janitor had summoned Principal Ensign and he was walting for the young fellows when they reached the bottom of the stair The janitor hauled the flag down, but Spet- man and Flickinger took it away from him. Principal Ensign ordered Flickinger and Spetman to go to their classroomi, which order they obeyed, and did not take part in the fight which ensued between the senfors and juniors In the corridors. After the disturbance had been quelled Principal Ensign called Spetman and Flickinger into his office and notified them of their expul- sion. Since the appointment of Mr. Ensign as principal there has been more or less trou- ble at the High school. Last summer thera was a series of disturbances and on one or two occaslons Mr. Ensign found it essary to call upon the police to In keeping order. At the last meeting of the Board of Education Principal Ensign was re-elected for another year, althouglr at least two of the members were opposed to continuing him in charge of the school, but finally acquiesced in his- reappoint- ment on the recommendation of Superin- tendent Clifford. One of the members of the board said yesterday atternoon that it would not surprise him if some change might not be made in the management of the High school before the opedfng’ of the next school year.

George Jones, sllas ‘“‘Sleepy™ Hewitt, was committed to the county jail Thure- day by Justice Ferrler to board out a fine of $10 and costs for illegal seining on the Towa side of Cut Off lake Wednesday night. Hewitt was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Groneweg. Deputy Sheriff Groneweg accompanied Game and Fish Warden Simpkins of Ne- braska and one of his deputies Wednesday night to Cut Off In quest of seinérs. On the Nebraska side they caught Frank Bur- rell in the act of seining and placed him under arrest. At another point on the lake they came across Hewitt and a companion, but the latter succeeded in making his escape. When taken before Justice Ferrier yester- day morning Hewitt pleaded guflty.

NEW HEALTH BOARD LAW COMES HANDY Des Moines Dentist Unwilling to Ac- cept Parole with the Co Attached and Tries Habea, Corpus. tions (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 2.—(Special)—The state auditor has just sent out 600 blanks to county auditors for the reports from tel- ephone companies, as required by law, and has found that this was not a sufficient number and has ordered 300 more of the blanks to be sent out. This indicates that there has been an enormous increase in the number of telephone companies amd inde- pendent lines which are owned by Individ- uals or firms. All of them are required to report ‘whether they are assessed or not. ‘The executive council has not been asses: ing the farmers,' mutuals and private lines, but has secured informatien regarding each 4 every one and embodied it In the re- ports. In a great many places in Towa the owners of the independent lines have made connections with the town exchanges and the farmers of an entire county may reach each other quiie easily. The state’s rev- enue from the taxation of telephone sys- tems has been greatly increased the last few years and the work of assessing is much greater than in the past. An effort was made to secure a general revision of the law in regard to the mssessment aad taxation of telephone lines in the last leg- islative session, but this falled. Parole Not Wanted. Dr. BE. B. Hughes, the Des Moines dentist who was sent to the Mt. Ple for treatment on account of use of Intoxicating liquors and who in- stituted habeas corpus proceedings to se- cure his release from the asylum, was turned loose yesterday and arrived in Des Molnes today. The order releasing Hughes was issued by Judge McHenry on Tuesday. It glves Hughes his Itberty on condition that he will abstaln from the use of all narcotics and intoxicating liquors. When he reached Des Moines this morning and learned the conditions of his parole he de- clared that he would not accept them. He immediately arranged to have a copy of the same made and certified to by the clerk of the district court and this will be sent to Hughes' attorney in Mount Pleasant, where the habeas corpus proceedings are still pending. About ten days ago Hughes begam habeas corpus proceedings, alleging that he was being illegally deprived of his freedom. Judge Smyth set the case for hearing en last Saturday, but at that time, nothing having been heard :from Des Moines, the matter was postponed until to- day. Ut ng the New Law. The law passed by the last legislature giving additional and extraordinary pow- ers to the State Board of Health in the matter of enforcing quarantine in case of contaglous diseases has been found quite useful already. The Iaw authorizes the state board to take fullnharge of local health regulations where ithe local boards.fall or refuse to act. The leglslature adopted the law because it was demonstrated that nearly all of the trouble over smallpox in Towa the last two years had come from the paralysis of local boards, either through the unreasoning demands of business in- terests or by reason of politics. When the legislature was in sesslon smallpox broke out in the state capitol and it was demonstrated that there was in the oity of Des Moines nearly 500 cases, largely due to the fact that the local board had refused to do anything The legislature became aroused and passed a most radical law, giving the state board power and author- ity to take hold where contagious dis- eases are neglected locally. In Monroe and Marfon counties communities have been found where smallpox prevails and no at- tention has been paid to the matter and no quarantine even suggested. The state board has acted under the new law and is in charge in both places and has ap- pointed physiclans to look after the cases and enforce quarantine. Under the new law the cost will be charged up to the countles and by them to the persons afflicted, and in case of any disagreement on any matter the state board is the arbiter. It is be- lleved there will be less of unguarded smallpox in the state hereafter, as the re- sult of this law. Preparing for Encampment, John Lindt of Councll Bluffs, who is ex- pected to be named as state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic depart- ment to succeed George Metzger, present commander, was in the city today and spent some time at the headquarters of the Grand Army department at the state house. Mr. Lindt is thus far the only candidate an- nounced for commander, which position will be filled at the state encampment to be held here the latter part of this month. He says that elaborate preparations are being made for the Kinsman mopument in Council Bluffe May 17. The speaker of the day has not yet been secured, but Mr. Lindt is now in communication with General Gren- ville M. Dodge regarding the selection.

PRINCE SENDS A MESSAGE Expresses Cordial Sympathy to Wid- ow of Captain Albers, late of Deutschland. BERLIN, May 2.—At the directlon of Princess Henry of Prussia and In the name of Prince Henry, who is absent, Rear Ad- miral von Seckendorft has written a letter to the Hamburg-American Steam Packet company in which he expresses the heart- telt condolence of the prince in the death of Captain Albers of Deutschland, who dled on board his veesel as it was approaching Cuxhaven on its last homeward-bound trip.

ATTEMPT TO PREVENT TRANSFER FAILS Opponents Fear Decorating British | Ships with Fore LONDON, May 2.—An attempt was made in the House of Commons today to get the government to pledge itself to prevent the transfer of British steamships to a foreign |flag pending the report of the committee ‘recontly appointed by the admiralty to ia- quire into the subject. The government leader, A. J. Balfour, pointed out that a suggestion of such a startling character could not be carried out without the gravest consideration. It simply amounted to a proposal that the British government should prevent a sub- ject from selling his matter to a foreigner. No doubt the matter referred to was very serious, but such a drastic change could mot be undertaken lightly. The government had beem privately In- formed regarding the actions of private in- dividuals and it was giving the matter anx- fous consideration. If it disclosed this In- formation it would shut the door to further confidences. Obligation to Navy, The gavernment would be bound to make such arrangement with regard to the navy as the proposed changes might necessitate, but regarding the effect of the combi: tion on British maritime interests and what should be dome to meet it, no an- nouncement of its policy could be made except after prolonged and anxious consid- eration of the complicated problem. Under the present arrangement the sub- sidized ships remain in the service of the admiralty for another two years and the government would be much blamable it ‘n the interim it could neither megotiate a continuance of the existing terms or make others equally serviceable to the admiralty and the country. Meanwhile the govern- ment did not propose on the spur of the moment to announce any departure from the traditiomal policy of mot interfering with the freedom of commerce. The ministers would be charlatans it they did anything of the kind. It was necessary to most carefully and thoroughly sift the whole matter from & commercial point of view. It must be remembered that this was not a commercial enterprise, engineered by a forelgn and hostile government, but & trade combination. Bryce Opposes Motion. James Bryce, liberal, former president of the Board of Trade, advocated the with- drawal of the motion to pledge the govern- ment to the transfer, but urged the gov- ernment to make a prompt Inquiry into the subject. Other speakers held that the ar- rangement was in no ways umpatriotic. It was an alllauce, not annexation, by Ameri- cans. The companies had eimply made a reasonable and business-like combination. Sir James Woodhouse, Hberal, disclaimed all antipathy to or fll-feeling for Ameri- cans, but, he asserted, British maritime and mercantile interests were menaced by the Americans, who had alreaiy captured the British shoe and steel industries, and he wanted the government to take action In order to stem the tide. The remarks of Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, conservative, rather sided with these who thought that the American invasion spelled ruin to British- ers. He sald he feared the American trust would use this combination to pour Amert- can produce nto this country, to the dis- advantage of the producers here, and that there would be a gemeral disruption of the whole trade and commerce of Great Britatn. Lord Beresford advocated subsidizing steamers on the Canadlan route. ROOSEVELT MAN OF JUSTICE President Commands High Tribute from French Paper Discus. sing Smith Case.
