FENCE TO RUN ALONG THE LAKE FRONT Intimation that When Signed the Judge Scott Will Be Even More Sweeping Than Origindlly Intimated. Order of The motor company yesterday applied to Judge Scott of the superior court for per- mission to flle a supersedeas bond in the case in which it was enjoined from fencing up Third street and obstructing Park ave nur at Lake Manawa, The application was dented, but Judge Scott extended the time in which the company has to comply with the order to July 8.

The motor company will, pending the appeal, remove the fence across Third street connecting Shady grove with the re- sort proper, but will fence both sides of the street.

The motor company claims that Third street did not extend clear to the lake tront, but only to the north side of the 01d county road which ran along the edge of the lake, and it was stated yesterday that it would place its fence at the end of the streét, so as to cut off access to the lake and make a cul-de-sac practically of Third stroet. The company also claims that Park ave- nue was never in controvefsy and that its tracks and fence do not encroach on the highway. The decree in the case has not been signed yet by Judge Scott and it was intimated yesterday that It may possibly be made more sweeping than his ruling was, and may embrace other streets which the motor company’ is alleged to have fenced in. The decision of Judge Scott, however, will not end the controversy between the motor company and the owners of the ing the hearing, which will be held this morning.

One man who is alleged to have struck Greenizer with the butt end of his revolver made his escape after Patrolman MoKinley had chased him for several blocks. PREACHER TALKS TO TEACHERS Impresses Them with Importance of Sticking to High Ideals of Living. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, conducted the opening short address to the teachers on the sub- ject, “The Public Schools from the Stand- | point of the Clergy.” He eald he desired to speak from a broader standpoint than that of the people represented by the clergy. In his opinion the function of the tedcher was greater than that of simply imparting Information to the pupil. She must, in many cases, give practjcally all the train- ing the child recelved along the line of seif-restraint, and this being the case, the teacher must have a high standard, so high that no pupil must be brought down to it, but rather all must be elevated to it. He called attention to the fact that some pu- pils come from homes where high standards of conduct are taught, while others come from homes where no standard is tsught, as well as from homes varying between these extremes. He urged that the teach- ers should mot permit their etandards to be an average, but should ins be of the Highest. Rev. Barnes that in addition to the utilitarian ideas now so prevalent in the public schools, the pupil should™be taught to consider the question, “Is It Right?" In determining thelr conduct. Yesterday afternoon examinations were held in orthography, reading writing and arithmetic. About 100 teachers wers re- quired to take these examinations. This morning Superintendent McManus will present the work of the state teach- ers’ reading circle, this work being followed by a large number of the teachers in this county. These teachefs from outside the city were added to the enrollment yesterday: D. T. Gifford, Peru, Neb.; Mary McCarthy, Han- cock, Alda Myers, Alma Werner, Marle L.

HEADS OF INSTITUTIONS ADJOURN Superintendents of State Concern Conclude Conference — lowa Mil- lers Meet at Davenport—Ra road Settles Damage C (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 25.—(Bpecial)—A number of politicians are in the city and one toplc that s uppermost is that in rela- tion to the position of the Eighth judicial district of Towa and the candidates. W. D, Blakemore of Bedford has come out a candidate for rallroad commissioner and was assured of the solid delegation of the Bighth district back of him. Blake- more s a member of the legislature, an old soldler and very popular. When Judge Waterman retired from the | bench 1t was suggested that Judge Towner of Corning would become a candidate for member of the supreme bench to succeed Waterman. 1If this was done it would in- terfere with the candidacy of Blakemore. The latter offered to with@raw from the race and glve Towner a clar fleld in his district, but Towner declined the offer and has announced that he will not be a candi- date for the nomination. This makes It certaln that Judge Charles A. Bishop, who will next Tuesday go upon the supreme bench by appointment, will receive a unani- mous nomination for the remainder of the term of Judge Waterman. Judge Blshop had entered the practice of law after retiring from the district bench, but is ready to take up the work of the supreme court. It 1s probable that a meeting of the su- preme judges will be held in July in ad- vance of the fall term and some of the work which had been turned over to Water- man will be given to Bishop for the sum- mer. Judge Bishop was married this after- noon to Miss Lyman of this oity. New Iowa Corporations.

The final chapter in the settlements on the part of the Iowa Central Rallway company with the estates of the three enginemen killed in the head-on collision between a passenger train and a light engine, near Gifford, Marshall county, on the night of February 15 last, was enacted when Thomas Ws Patton of Liscomb was appointed ad- ministrator of the estate of his son, Frank Patton, fireman on the lght engine, and agreed upon the settlement for his son's death.' The Pattops' first claim filed with the company was for $5,000, but the suit was compromised for $1,000. In the settle- ments with the other englnemen killed it s understood Mrs. John White of Oska- Jodsa, administratrix of thé estate of her busband, Engimeer John White, who pulling the passenger train, has been pald approximately $5,000. A similar amount, practically, has been pald to Mr. W, H. Ogle of this city, administrator of the estate of his son, Fireman Elmer Ogle, who was killed on Whit'e engine. No attempt will be made by the railroad company, it is thought, to settle with the estate of Engiueer Frew, neither is the company an- ticlpating a suit for damages. The striking telephone operators are still holding out and refuse to accept the terms of the managers. The latter gave formal notice that unless the operators returned to work by noon tomorrow their places would be filled and none of them would be taken back.
