| Towa l MEW LAW WILL AID COURYS lowa Statute Providing Copies of Emergency Measures Go to Clerks. CASE IS NEAR END OLD BANK Recelver of Sheldon Institation Will Pay Back Seventy-Three Cents on Dollar—Pharmacy Com- mission Reorganizes. (From o Staff Correspondent.) DKE MOINES, April 19.—(Bpecial.) leglslature passed a law which, in the fu- ture, will give the courts of the state some opportunity for having definite knowledge of the emergency laws without waiting for the publication of the book containing the seesion Jaws. This Bill provides that im mediatély upon a Bill geing Into effect by publication, the secratary of state shall send & certified copy to each of the county clerks of the state, and they must ke:p them on file at Jeast six months. A great many acts are passed which go into effect in this way, and under the present system the courts must wait until the middie of summer before they knpw anything about these special laws. = The bill has just been signed, so that It will not, in fact, have any effect on the laws this year, but in the future it will have the effect of prevent- ing much confusion: Winding Up Old Bank Case. The affairs of the defunct State Bank of Bheldon are being finally wound up by the recelver, R. W. Ady. The bank went lo pleces five or six years ago, and caused considerable in northwestern Towa. The recelver has now pald a part of the claims and this week, will send out checks to more than 6,000 depositors, which checks will make a total of 73 per cent paid back At first thero was an effort at some prose- cutions in connection with the bank fail- ure, but these came to nothing. Reorganize the Commission, The coming week the Stats Pharmacy commission Will meet for reorganization for the year, as a new commissioner is due before the end of the week. This will be the democratic place now vacant, as it is now expected that the two republican members will remain upon the board right along. It is regarded as possible that when the annual meeting Is held later, C. W. Phillips. will' retire as secretary. He has been the secretary for a number pf years and is recognized as a hard-working and conscientious official. He has served on the republican state committee for a number of years and Is now, and long time, on the State Board pf Agricul- ture. He desires, however, to engage In business, unless there s pressure to have him remain In the state service. Woodward Will Get Pardon. The governor has signed the joint resolu- tion of the legislature with regard to a pardon for C. H. Woodward of Decatur county, which makes It certain he will soon Issue the order for his release. This is one of the strangest cases in lowa, for despite the fact that Woodward is serving a life term in prison for murder in the first degree, the leglslature concluded that he Is entirely innocent. One phase of the case related to lite insurance upon his wite, who was polsoned, and since the trial it has Jeveloped that Woodward knew that the Insurance had lapsed. As this was the sole motive assigned the case is belleved to have resulted in a defeat of justice, x Months' Law Signe Among the bllls which Governor Carroll hag signed was one to reduce the time for the appeal of criminal cases from one year to six months. B. L Salinger, formerly reporter of the -supreme court, asked to be heard in opposition to this bill, but the governor signed it without waiting to hear of the objections. It is intended to reduce the delays incident to appeals In criminal cases. loss Medals for 6 The adjutant general of the state has recelved medals for a number guardsmen in recognition of actual service in the fleld. These include medals for T. B.

WABHINGTON, April 19.—Questions hav- sulate of Willlam E. Bainbridge, confi- dential agent of the United States Treasury department in charge of its Paris customs bureau, who committed sulcide in this clty Saturday, was opened thls momning. A drawer coniained a box of cartridge of whioch were missing, and a slip of paper in Mr. Bainbridge's handwriting describing himself as beset by a “plot.”” None of the offical papers found, however, disclose the slightast evidence that the department was dissatisfied with Mr. Bainbridge's work Washington had sent nelther criticism nor trom James secretary Burton Reynolds, assistant of the treasury, was of the most friendly character. It Is known that Wash- ington fully approved of Mr. Bainbridge action In a recent smuggling case. The documents found confirmed the opin- fon previou entertained at the consulate that Mr. Bainbridge had broken down from overwork, that he was temporarily insane, and that he took his life while suffering from' the mania of persecution. On Frid of last week he ment a telegram to Mr | Howland, his assistant. who was on a | vacation, urgeutly requesting him to return {to Paris to aid in the investigation of the trunk smuggling cases, regarding which Mr. Bainbridge was greatly worrled cabled reports that the agent had been reprimanded in connection with these cases, however, are untrue. { Problems of Law of Nations Conference to Be Held at White House Involving Many Questions of Interest to World.

Miss Louise Northrop, '8, president of the Alumni association, originated the idea and placed the books in the stores, with a placard asking graduates of the Omaha Aigh school to sign their names, addresses and class nimerals, and to spread the idea by gettng other alumnl to do so. Several | more books are to be placed in other stores soon, in order to get as large a registration as possible.

Beginning at noon today the wheels will moye full force.

It all tomes to-the same total in the end. Adams and Hough have provided a better book for this piece than they did for either of their others, and Joe Howard has written better music; maybe it would be nearer the mark to say that me recalled more 800d airs he had heard elsewhere and suc- ceeded in fitting them more closely to the words. Whatever course he adopted, he has furnished a lot of sprightly tunes, and It 50 be they remind you of something you have heard before, you have the certain satistaction of knowing it was something good. But the lines are bright and snappy, the situations funny without being out of reason, the songs good, and the ensemblo Al that could be asked. George Marion has arranged some very effective groupings for the stage pictures, and with his ex- cellent taste in color and posture makes the combinations beautiful. Homer B. Mason, a qulet comedian who is really funny, heads the cast, and has the assistance of several others who help to push along the jollity at a rapid pace Messrs. Plumer, Pauli, Wilson and Raffael are worthy coadjutors of the clever Mason, and thelr efforts are all to the good.

From the open- ing number, three Italian singers, until the musical farce, “The Naked Truth which closes the bill, there is not a weak act Miss Jeanette Adler and her picka- ninnies follow the three Itallans, who are worthy of the highest praise. Miss Adler sings a number of character songs and her diminutive assistants dance in lively fashion. Fred Gray and Nellle Graham are next in order. Gray in- duiges in & good deal of amusing clown- ing. while his companion plays various {nstruments, Including “the largest cux- ophone in the world” Tha sketch, “Thirty Dollars, by Sewell Collins, is better than the ordinary, and is in the effective hands of Frank Nelson, Dorothy Deshelle and John C. King. Nelson_is an able character comedian and Hiss Deshelle & young woman whose acting betrays both temperament and intelll- gence. King also merits praise. The Sisters DeFaye follow the sketch and scere one of the decided hits of the bill. They do a little graceful dancing and play mandolins and banjos, the lat- ter particularly well. Part of their suc- cess is doubtless due to the fact that they are young and quite pretty. ‘Witt's Singing Colleens” may not all be from chorus is numerous sizes, from diminuti and styles of heaut worker—at s of cheating at any them on Al hest are busy is the seen long and | 1te, the Emerald Isle, but all four sing at any rate. “The Naked Truth” gains its title from the fact that an fmage of ‘he goddess of verity concealed In a well is supposed to have the power fo calise ons article of apparel to vanish for each lle told by persons nearby.
