of a court put an end to what gave

ised Tabor and capital.
The mandate tamed by Judge

promptly by the Des Moines City

ternational board member of tbe
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employes of
America, who conducted tbe brief
strike. Mid that the Intervention of
the court wa acceptable because It
gave te tbe anion exactly what It
had asked. This wss tbe reinstate
ment of Conductor Benjamin A.

mt an investigation led to the trou
ble, and an order that arbitration
must deride whether or not ii Is to
remain with tbe Company.
Tbe stitt in equity which termi

city of Dea Moines npon tbe order
of the city council.

"first, the company Is a law-ehld-fng

ths order In e,tict(os clearly Is er

for int of Jurisdiction, It will obey

'"Second, tbe company will, with

This disposes of the estatlng sit-'

whew the situation changes, It wilt
determine at tbe time.
"We hope that we sre wrong and
thst the city Is right with regsrd to
this order. If this nrdr stands It
mesne that public servlre corpora
tion, hiring a contract with a labor
union, has a right to go Into court
and secure a mandatory injunction
prohibiting the labor onion' from

of the farming population ot the

with a crowd of bis fellow followers
of tbe plow around blm, a farmer
was holding forth with loud argu
ment against the farm life school
this morning. '
"Why are you opposed to tbe
farm life school?" queried a Stan re
porter, who happened to drop in the

fesslon bsd been banding out to bis
sudlence arguments against tbe
school more forcible thsn ever
Cicero burled against Catallne, and
arguments about aa old and oft re
peated as those of Cicero. .
"How much , will the fsrm life
school cost you?" the farmer was
ssked.
"A whole lot," wss the evasive
reply. , ' !
"Hew much property do you
"About three tboussud , dollars
worth.
"How much do you suppose the
fsrm life school will cost you?"
"I don't knew. About $09 a year
I reckon, when they git through
lib It."
The establishment of the farm life
school will cost this farmer -Just
shout 49 cents per year. Tbe In
crease In the rste on the $100 prop

Japanese Admiral Was Talked to
Sleep by American Naval Officer.
Guest at Banquet of Japanese Ani
Im.s.uulor LKt Night .nmber of
Prominent Ofiiclnls in Attendance.
Washlngion, Aug. 7. Reverently
and with a brief invocation in
Japanese, Admiral Count Togo plac
ed a wreath of roses on tbe tomb of
Washington st Mount Vernon yes
terday. A group of a dozen, among
whom were the Japanese ambassa
dor, Acting Secretary of the Navy
Winthrop, five other rear admirals
of tbe United States navy and
Chandler Hale, third assistant secre
tary of state, watched tbe diminu
tive Oriental enter tbe mausoleum
and stand silently at salute. He
spoke softly but audibly for a mo
ment and then put down the wreath.
Emerging from the tomb, the
solemnity of the occasion was
broken by tbe admiral himself, wbo
smiled as be saw confronting blm a
battery of cameras,.
"That's the only way we'll ever
shoot at you, I guess," remarked
Rear Admiral Wainwright amid
laughter.
Being the guest of the nation, the
trip from the city to Ucunt Vernon
was made on the president's yacht,
the Mayflower. .' As Admiral Togo
and his aide, Lleutefrant Commander
Taniguchi, and the Japanese am
bassador .mounted the gangway a,
company of marines on short pre
sented arms while every man on
board tbe Mayflower stood at atten
tion, tbe bugles blowing a salute.
The marine band then played a, few
strains of tLe Japanese national
anthem and the ship weighed
anchor.
Comfortably seated on the quar
terdeck, the visitor listened atten
tively to the naval officers at they,
pointed out the sights along the
Potomac. He displayed especial lo
teregt , tne big H.,ncn gung ,t th.
navy yard.
At Mount Vernon two electric
launches conveyed tbe party ashore.
After tbe ceremony at the tomb, the
party strolled through the pic
turesque Washington estate to tbe
mansion in which the nation's first
president lived snd died. The ad
miral was led through the numerous
small rooms and up the staircases
to the bed where Washington died.
He bowed and saluted. He paused
before Wssblngton's sword and care
fully read the Inscription. One of
the party pointed out the wine and
liquor rase which once figured In ths
hospitality of Mount Vernon.
"Pretty generous bottles," com
mented a nsvy officer, and tbe little
Japanese smiled quickly In apprecia
tion. On the Mount ernon auto-
a firm band in hneiisn: "Admiral
Count Togo, August Stb. 1911." Tbe
Japantse ambassador also signed his
name.
On the return cruise to the city
Admiral Togo, rested in s big chslr
on the quarterdeck, chatted for a
while with Rear Admiral Hsrber.
Presently his head dropjicd and be
fell asleep. Admiral Harber walked
away softly and Joined s group of
(.ffiirrs on the main deck. One of
ihe latter who observed what bad
happened congratulated Admiral
Harber.
"Vod've done something Rojest
vetisky could not do." he said
"You've put Admiral Togo to steep."
Layt night Admiral Togo was the
guest of the Japanese ambassador at
a banquet at which Vice-President
Sherman. Secretary of State Knoi,
Senator Root and a number of of
ficials were present. No speeches
were maile.
