CHANGES 1N THE MULCT LAV Governor Oummins Said te Favor Elimina- tion of Some Features. SALOONMEN NOW PREY OF BLACKMAILERS Temptation to Use Law for Private Gain or Personal Spite is Strong er the Bxisting C: ditions, That Governor Cummins will in his ane nual message to the legimlature next De- cember recommend several amendments to the lowa mulct laws was the statement made yesterday by a prominent member of the republican party of this city who has long been recognized as being one of the governor's campalgn managers and close confidents. These amendments, it ‘was stated, will | be for the purpose ¢f eliminating the pres- ent objectionable features of the mulct law. That the mulct law needs amending is generally conceded. As its provisions | now are every retail liquor dealer is prac- tically at the mercy of any person who might wish to harm or blackmall him. In but few cities or towns in the state where saloons are permitted to operate Is the mulct law strictly obeyed. Its provisions are such that if carried out to the letter very few it any saloons could keep their doors open. Practically every saloon keeper, while obeying his city ordinances and other laws, s violating the provisions of the mulct law in their strict Interpreta- tion and this leaves the ealoon keeper open to prosecution at all times. The nlulct law in its present form is taken advantage of to extort blood money, as it might be termed, from the saloon keepers by unscrupulous persons and is often held as a club over them by persons who have some personal spite to work off or some axe to grind. It is these evils that Governor Cummins in his annual message will recommend to be eliminated by amend- ing the law. The objectionable features in the mulct law have long been apparent in Council Blufts and any changes for the better wiil not only be welcomed by the saloon keepers themselves, but by the business men gen- erally. For several years every saloon in the county was forced to pay tribute to a certain attorney or otherwise become de- fendant in an injunction suit, in which, if a decree was granted, the attorney secured at that time an attorney's fee of no less than $100. Now the law only permits of an attorney fee of §25, but this is sufclent incentive for numerous injuaction suits against the owners of saloons. Bixby & Son. Plumbing and heatin, GUARDSMEN OFF FOR RILEY It was nearly midnight wien the last of the three trains carrying the Fifty-fitth regiment, Iowa National Guard left the Union Pacific transfer depot last night for Fort Riley, where for the next ten days it will take part in the maneuvers of the regular army. The regiment was due to leave here at 9 o'clock, but the late arrival of several of the companies made this impracticable and it was after 10 o'clock when the first train bearing Colonel James Rush Lincoln, the regimental staff, Com- pany L of Council Blufts and three other companies pulled out of the depot. The departure of the regiment attracted but little attention, and except for a few of the men who served through the Philip- pine campalgn who' were at the depot to greet their former comrades there was no- body at the depot to see the men off. The several companies on arrival at the transfer were served with traveling rations, which were eaten In the trains. Pullman sleepers were provided for Colonel Lincoln and his ‘staff, while tourist sleepers were furnished for the officers and men of the twelve companies. The regimental officers are as follows: Colonel James Rush Lincoln, Ames; Lieu- tenant Colonel Ernest R. Bennett, Des Molnes; Major W. C. Mentzer, Knoxville; Major M. A. Tinley, Council Blufts; Major Hume, Des Moines, who acted in place of Major Turner of Corning; regimental ad- jutant, Captaln Emory C. Worthington, Des Moines; chaplain, Captain A. A. Wal- burn, Audubon; quartermaster, Captain Herbert C. Lane, Red Oak; commissary, Licuteriant Roscoe Byers, Des Moines; battallon adjutants, First Lieutenant George L. Carton, Des Molnes; First Lieu- tenant Sam C. Smith, Winterset. The Dodge Light guard is placed in the Third battalion, which is commanded by Major Hume of Des Moines. Major Tin- ley of this city s in command of the sec- ond battalion. The Fifty-fifth regiment, Towa National guard, will be in the same i brigade with the Fifth and Twenty-fifth United States regular Infantry. Adjutant General Byers and Inspector General Prime accompanied the regtment to Fort Riley and occupled a sleeper attached fto the train carrying the first battmlon. They go merely as guests and will not take part in the maneuvers. Hospital Steward Arthur Lane of this ity with a detall of elght men from Com- pany B, will leave this morning for Fort Riley. The regiment will arrive at Fort Riley this evening and will return Thursday, Oc- tober . Saloon Cases Go Over. In the suits brought by Fred Fowler, janitor of the Shugart block, and Attorney Fremont Benjamin to close the saloons of the Storz Brewing company at the corners of Broadway, Scott and Tenth streets, the hearing for temporary restraining orders had to go over yesterday, as there was no judge to preside in the district court, In the suit brought alnst the saloon at the corner of Broadway and Tenth street & plea In abatement was filed yesterday by the defendants, it being shown that an in- junction was now pending in the Unied the proprietor and premises.

Herrfott In the Campaign, CASEY, Ia., Oct. 17— Speclal.)—John Herriott, lleutenant governor of Towa, spoke here this evening to a crowd of the republicans of this county on the political issues. This was his opening speech and he devoted it entirely to the tariff and trusts. He pointed out that it was useless to take time to defend the general principle of protection, which has been so successful as a national policy. No republican, he sald, goes so far, he supposed, as to clalm that every schedule of the existing tariff is perfect and should be immutable regard- less of time or place or Interest. Many of the rates no doubt might well be altered, some raised, some lowered, with beneficial results, but before attempting such changes we must constantly keep In mind this fact, that any tariff is a compromise of the opinlons of hundreds, yea thousands of men in and out of congress, representing all sorts and diverse and more or less con- fileting interests, Smith Talks for Reciprocity. INDEPENDENCE, Ia., Oct, 17.—(Special.) —Charles Emory Smith, former postmaster general, spoke this evening to a fine audi- ence and pald a glowing tribute to the reciprocity policy advocated by Blaine, McKinley, Roosevelt and Governor Cum- mins. Mr. Smith advocated regulation of the trusts and enforcement of the anti- trust legislation. ot | Tele- | in | | CHANGES IN'INSURANCE LAWS Auditor Oarroll Makes Several Recom- mendations in His Report BANKS IN SATISFACTORY CONDITION Mowse Jacobs Finally Secures Decree Which Gives Him Portion ' of Property Held by His Father. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 17.—(Speclal)—~The blennial report of B. F. Carroll, auditor of state, filed with the governor today, covers the whole ground of the Insurance, banking and finanglal interests of the state. The recommendlations of the auditor in regard 0 ineurance matters are Interesting in view of the recent agitation in regard to some Insurance matters here. He does not rec- ommend a separate department for the in- surance business, but indicates that whether It I8 separated from the office of auditor or not there should be a great in- crease In the force avaflable for doing the business. He would have the law changed 0 that there would be an examination of all the insurance companies and assocla- tions doing business in Jowa at least bien- nlally, and this should be done by a salaried examiner, instead of compelling the com- panhles to pay for the same in fees. He would also have the valuation of all old {line policies done in the office of the insur ance department, instead of by the com- panies, espectally in view of the fact that the auditor now holds securities for com- panies not located in the state valued at $2,600,00. He would have the examiner to be also an actuary. In regard to the con- tracts written by the companies he would have the state auditor have some authority over it. In the past. there has been no su- pervision of Ahe business, and this has led {to the writing of contracts of a questionable |character. 8o far as Towa companies are concerned little objection can now be made to the form of policies written. Attention is called to the fact that while nonresident assessment sssoclations are not compelled to pay any taxes to the state the home companies are taxed 1 per cent per annum on gross business. He would have the legislature give attention to this Aiscrimi- nation against the home business. The pro- vision for preventing unauthorized Insur- ance by fraternals should.be extended so that all kinds of unauthorized Insurance could be stopped. He would also have the agents registered. He would also have a new law providing for reinsurance. He severely condemns some of the mutuals, especlally the hail companies, for the ex- travagance of management and large salarfes pald, and would have some pro- vision_for limiting these expenses Towa Bank Business.
