DES MOINES, May %0.—(Special.)~Indic tions are that there will be more aspirants for republican congressional nominations &t the next contest than ever before in, the history of the state. This will undoubtedly be true if congress doesn't soon adjourn so | the lowa congressmen pair their The latest aspirant for congressional honors appears as an op- ponent to Walter 1. Smith the standpatter whose position In congress has been sald to be impregnable. His opponent is Sena- tor Bruce of Cass county. It has been said that Smith is in line for speakership of the lower house of congress. If Bruce pushes his fight it will be an in- teresting one. of having always been nominated for off in conventions without a dissenting vote In the primary fight he may not be so fortunate. Down in Hepburn's ol district there are innumerable candidates for the republican can return to re- fences nomination of both standpatters and pro- | likely that each fac- | ..36 | tion will hold a conference and decide upon | pagtor of the local Congregational church, | gressives.

There is the rexular biennial talk of opposition to Hull in the Seventh district, but as yet the oppo- sition has not centered enough to name & man for the contest. Off with the Mustache. Another radical reform to prevent the transmission of tuberculosis germs has been started by E. A. Kepford, state lecturer, against the white plague. It is the aboli- tion of mustaches, est Mr. Kepford has shaved from his own upper 1ip a magnificent mustache of which he was proud. But beards and the like, he says, are woeful transmitters of disease germs. They are not sanitary. He has set the example and he will ask every man in Towa to adopt the smooth face style—not for appearance sake, but for the sake of the good health of the community. Several years ago Dr. Kennedy, then secretary of the State Board of Health, created considerable comment by advocating | | the abolitidn of beards among the Physi-|jamin's friends claim It was upon certain clans. He contended that in these beards Joctors carried disease germs from sick rooms to healthy communities. Now Mr. Kepford has conceded the argument is g00d. He will advocate smooth shaves as the greatest sanitary condition. New HBoard in Charge. The new educational board having charge of the three educational Institutions is now In chare. The first step taken s to con- tinue in force all policies and methods until they are substituted with new ones. Immediately, consideration will be given to the best ways of doing business, and it is expected that a number of changes will be made. At present the secretaries at the state institutions are retained. At the first meeting here the large board will probably make an outline of general poll- clees. It ie expected the three members of the financial committee which is to ave charge of the actual operation of the schools, will soon establish headquarters Of this W. R. Boyd of Cedar Rapids s chairman. It s expected the new board will take quarters on the as- sembly floor of the state house, probably occupying either the lieutenant governor's rooms or the speakers' rooms. The for- | mer were occupled two vears ago by the speclal insurance commission. SYMPOSIUM ON BLACK PLAGUE | Superintendent of Towa Institutions to Discuss Question. (From a Staff Correspondent.)

Wherever he went he was met by crowds of cheering thousands. The streets through which he passed wers fairly biocked with humanity After the ball game, while the presi- dent's automobile was threading its way through Sixth street, there was at one time a seemingly impassable human bar- | rier wcross the thoroughfare. The police | tinally opened a w however, and the president's car passed safely through. The president, during the early part of the was the guest of the city and the state.

The ball gama was a departure from the | original program, which caused some dis- | appointment to the Yale men, but which| apparently brought joy to the 15,000 Pitts- | burg “fans’ gathered on the grandstand | and bleachers and overflowing Into the| playing field. Private boxes in the upper | part of the big stand were tendered the president, but he chose to sit in the main body of the grandstand surrounded by a | perfect jam of Pittsburg ‘“rooters.”” On elther side of the president were Secretary | of State Knox, a staunch supporter of the Pittaburg team, and Charles P. Taft principal owner of the Chicago ‘‘Cubs." Consequently the chief executive was torn | by conflicting emotions. He wanted both | teams to win and was happlest when the| score was a tie, which it was from the| soventh to the gleventh inning, when a whole flock of “bears” crossed the plate and broke up an exciting game, by a score | of § to 3. President Hadley of Yale also| sat with the president. Captain Archi-| baid Butt, military alde to the president| was in the party and nearby to explain | the fine points of the game in minute de- | tall, was President Charles W. Murphy of the Chicago club. Secretary Knox and the prosident’s brother had great fun in wager- | ing as to the outcome of the contest and | appealed in turn for the president's sup-| port. “No, sir,” replied the president, “I insist upon maintaining a judicial attitude on this matter." In Pittsburg’s half of the “lucky sev- enth” the president set the crowd to cheer- ing by standing “for luck” with the rest of the great crowd. All through the game | there were calls for cheers for the pres- | ident and they were given in great waves of sound which echoed back from the high hills overlooking the park. The president’s assistance to the Pittaburg ‘‘rooters” in the seventh resulted in the local team ty- ing the score. With the score still tied at the end of the eighth the president ex- claimed: “I hope it goes beyond the ninth; then | we will get more for our money." It was suggested to the president that if he remained for the finish of the contest he would be late for the banquet tonight. He replied that he could get a dinner “most any old time,” but seldom could see a better game of base ball, Pitches in College Game. The president made his debut on the dia. mond at the Allegheny Country club where, following luncheon at the residence of H. R. Rea, he held a reception and mingled with the, Yale men, who were the guests of the club for the afternoon. Two teams of resident and visiting Yale Alumni were matched In a ball game and the pres- ident pitched the tirst two balis for the visitors. In the parlance of the game he had | “little or no speed and utter lack of | control,” but was taken out of the box before much damage done. As a matter of fact, the two balls which the | president threw at the batsman hit the home base and reached the catcher on the first bounce. “First bounce used to be out,” the presi dent protested, but he was unceremoniously | relegated to the side lines.
