CURTISS FPROBABLY IN LEAD Short Course and College Extension Interests Are Making Active Campaign for Protessor Holden. , (From a Statf Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 13.—(Speclal)—The contest for president of the State college at Ames is already on in earnest. - There is no question in the minds of anyone that the educational board plans a change there and already the campalgn for sue- cesslon has commenced. It looks, at the outset, as If the old fight in the faculty would break out, and instead of belng a contest between two it will be triangular. The lineup is as follows: Prof. C. F. Curtiss, backed by the live stock Interests, the state fair people and the younger men of the college. Prof. E. W. Stanton, backed by the alumni of the college and Its older friends and especlally by departments other than sgricultural. Prof. P. G. Holden, backed by the short course and college extension interests, the grain growers and others. It is not certain that Prof. Stanton will be considered or that he would desire the place. It is understood on the side that the board has already practically decided in favor of Curtiss. Saturday the Asso- clation of Corn Growers started out to boost for Holden. At a meeting of the executive committee here, while the com- mittee as such, took no action, the mem- bers as Individuals set out to make a fight for Holden. Grant Chapman of Bagley, the assocation, said: “It is With regret that I read in the papers today that President Storms has tendered his resignation. If his resigna- tion has been received, the thiig that the people of Iowa want to concern them- selves about is the choosing of the new president. I do not think there Is any question as to who would be selected if the matter was left to.a popular vote of the farm interests of the state, for which the work of the institution stands, which also necessarily embraces the mechanical and engineering department. It is my judgment that Prof. P. G. Holden would be the choice of the Iowa people. Prof. Holden has probably come closer in touch with the people of Iowa and knows more of their wants and needs than any other living man fn the state and this should quality him. He has rare executive ability and 1s a lealler among young men and women. onstrated In his educational work before short courses in the state, In the seed corn specials and iIn his addresses before educational Institutions. 1 sincerely trust that the educational board in their de- liberations as to a successor to Dr. Storms will give the greatest possible consideration in connection with the presidency of Ames college.” Railroad Commission Work, president of There was a noticeable easing up of the car situation in Towa during the last week 80 far as coal shipments were concerned, only two complaints being received by the Towa commission with reference to delay in thet commodity. The number of com- This has been thoroughly dem- | plaints, however, received by the board with reference to Inability to secure cars for shipment of corn was considerable. The commissioner’s notice to the raliroad com- panies to glve corn prersrence over all freight _except live stock and perishablé freight s having its effect. Upon investi- gation by a member of the board it tran- spired that the difficulty in moving corn and other freight In Iowa has not been so much the fault of Towa rallroads as that of lines east of Chicago. This commissioner when he was in Chicago found the yards full of loaded cars destined to eastern points, which the eastern railroads could not handle on account of lack of motive power, and for the further reason that their eastern terminals were congested. A num- ber of Towa rallroads last summer ordered new locomotives, which are just now being recelved for use In Towa territory. The most Important case filed with the commission this last week was the appli- cation of the Greater Des Moines commit- tee for the revision of the grain rates in Towa. No date has as yet been fixed for hearing. There were two complaints with reference to station service, one from Roelyn and the other from Berlin; one application for more sidetrack room and one claim for overcharge. The rest of the complaints re- ferred to cars for grain and live stock. Remarkable Lake Hed Case. Attorneys are here to appear before the Towa supreme court on Monday morning to argue a remarkable case from Cerro Gordo county, Involving the right of the county to maintain the level of the lake in Clear lake. Eome years ago the county bullt a spillway and trled to keep the lake from going dry. In other parts of the state the lakes were being drained, but In t11s case the lake was revarded as morc valuable than the land around it. The dam was dynamited and blown up. It was rebullt and again destroved. Finally an injunction was secured to prevent the re- building of the dam, and now the cas goes to the court to determine just what are the rights of the county. Canditated for Game Warden, Already nearly a dozen candidates for tate game warden have appeared and the governor Is being bombarded with petitions for this and that aspirant. The present warden has made an unusually good of- ficer, but has Incurred the enmity of members of a state game assoclation which wes organized to secure changes in the law. There is also a large fund se- cured from licenses to hunters which is went-d by the sportsmen of the state, and they are insisting that it shall be used for various purposes in connection with the protection of game. The present warden has insisted that this money be- longs to the state and must he treated as other funds, only such portion being used as may be necessary for the enforcement of the laws. Unique Canditate for Mayor. B. F. Loos has announced his platform upon which he whll run for the nomination of mayor at the city primaries. One of his most novel suggestions with regard to handling the soclal evil Is not to drive unfortunates from the city, but to organize big brotherhood and tig sisterhood clubs to look after unfortunates, on the theory of an affirmative answer to the Biblical inouiry “Am I my brother's keeper?” Reun of Ratlway Men. At the meeting last night of the Des Molnes Rallway Men's club plans were discussed for the holding of a reunion here during the summer of the veteran rallway men of lowa. The last atfair of the kind was a grand success and many rallway men have suggested it to be repeated. A committee will be appointed to make defi- nate, preliminary plans and oltline a method of raising the $1,500 that will be necessary to carry on the campalgn. Litigation Over “Made" d.

He then refused to pay further rent or the balance of the note. On advice of attorneys the note was taken out to Idaho and sold to an innocent purchaser, who brought suit in the federal court for the balance due, some $2100. Judgment was Eiven against Koepke. ~ Thereupon he brought sult against Péper for selling a note which be- tween the principals was uncollectable and vold. It was vold because the saloon was run in Monona county, where there was no legal consent from the voters.
