This will tend to make the saloon men walk the chalk mark, and makes the measure, in my judgment, one of the strongest for law and obedlence of all the laws passed during the session, “This legislature,” said the speaker, “‘will be memorable in Towa history for the amount of remedial legislation enacted by it. In this class are {he bills defining the dutles of county attorneys and requiring sheriffs to ferret out crime, and providing for the expenses of such work. Another bill, only bare mention of which was made by the newspapers, however, will, in my Jjudgment prove a most effective measure. This Is the law that provides that houses of ill repute may be enjoined, just as sa- loons are now enjoined, for fallure to ob- serve the law. The law places within the hands of persons aggrieved by the pres- ence of such places, a remedy which can be easily and effectively applied.” JUDGE TO DECIDE MULCT CASES Announcement Made Saloon Will Be Terminated Judge Wheeler, of the district court, an- nounced yesterday that he would hand down this morning his decisions In the twenty-two saloon Injunction cases brought by the Anti-Saloon league in the name of Joseph Reader of Oakland as plaintiff, Which had been taken under advisement by him. In practically all of these cases the | Injunctions are sought on alleged technical violations of the mulct law. In some cases, it is alleged that the defendant saloon- keeper violated the law by falling to pay the mulct tax promptly on the first day of January. In other cases, it is alleged, the saloonman was in violation of the law when he filed a renewal merely of his bond, and not a new one at the beginning of fhe year. Judge Wheeler vesterday issued an order directing Sheriff McCaffery to bring Mar- fon Hedgepeth from the Fort Madison penitentiary to the county jall in this city, to be detained subject to the further order of the court. County Attorney Hess, Wwho a few days ago, stated he would put Hedgepeth on trial again, stated yesterday that since reading the decision of the supreme court he could not say just what disposition would be made of the caee. 1 was firmly convinced of Hedgepeth's gullt,” said Mr. Hes and am still of the same opinion. The case is now back for re-trial. Just how we shall proceed, 1 cannot'say, now.” The damage sult of A. M.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., April 13.—(Special.)— Nearly 100 bills passed by the legislature are yet unsigned by Governor Carroll—not that he is contemplating on whether or not to sign them—he Is merviy going over the laws carefully before affixing his signa ture As a matter of fact there have been but three requests for Learings before him on bills before he affixes his signature, These are: The Moon saloon limitation bill The rallroad penalty for violation of com mission orders. Amendment to law on appeal In criminal cases. The llquor Interests are, of course, back first mentioned, which provides that In wet counties there shall not be more than one saloon for each 1,000 inhabitants. Willlam Birdsall of Wa- terloo will speak on this proposition, but much doubt is expressed by those who have watched the leglsiation as to any possibllity of the governor refusing to sign the measure. The rallroads are objecting to the law just passed, which fixes a pen- alty of 350 per day to them for disobeying orders fssued by the State Rallroad com- missioners. The law was passed because the commission pointed out how futile were its orders iIf they could not be en- forced by penalty. The objection to the amendment to the law of practice with reference to criminal cases fs made by lawyers from Fort Dodge This new law cut down the time within which an appeal in a criminal ease can be taken from one vear to six month: Financial Managers at Capital. Quite contrary to the general impression that has gone out the three financlal rep- resentatives under the new Board of Edu- cation will not live, one at each institution, but will all be required to live in Des Molnes and from their offices at the state house all three will look after the financial department of the three colleges. These three men’ are to be selected by the new educational board of nine when it meets for organization here April 2. Among those who have been mentioned as appll- cants for the three positions are J. S. McGavern of Missouri Valley, W. C. Me- Chesney of lowa City, W. 4. Dixon of Sac City, Oleo O.

He immedi- ately commenced lobbying the legislature for a bill that would give him a salary of $3,000 per year and some high-priced as- sistants. This, the leglslature refused to pass and instead plaged the supervision of all the departments Under Btate Librarian Johnson Brigham, providing for a histori- cal curator at $1,600 per year.

This statement {s based on a table giving the earnings for the twelve months ending November 0, 108, when the full effect of the business became evident, with the pre- ceding twelve. This avolds the error of including the fattest months in raflway history in the same year with the lean months that followed #t. “In the same way the toss In net earn- ings is shown to have been $120,540,460 in- stead of §111,051,006, as given in the commis. sion statement. “The (wo-cent passenger fare legisla tion caused a loss of $25,000,000 in gross' earnings, although more passengers were carrfed.
