a SICK PRISONER,
And No Law Which Allows His Transfer
to Hospital.

And No Law Which Allows His Transfer
to Hospital.
W. D. Smith, one of the men charged with
having blown open the safe Breen q Young,
on the corner of Ninth and Minnesota streets
is very ill in the county Jail. His condition
has become so serious that Mr.. Egan, the
county attorney, yesterday applied to Judge
Brill for advice as to what should be done
with the man. Mr.. Egan stated to the Judge
that the county physician, DR.. Wheaton, re-
garded the man as very sick; that it would be
necessary to perform another opera ton, Zone
having already been performed and that some
provision should be made for the
proper care of the prisoner af-
ter the operation. The proposition of
removing him to st. Joseph's hospital, where
he could receive treatment more suita BILE to
his physical condition than he could in the
Jail, was suggested. In relating what DR..
Wheaton said, Mr.. Egan remarked, in reply to
a question by Judge Brill, that there was no
provision in any of the laws for the removal
of prisoner from the jail to a hospital. The
prisoner was in the custody of the sheriff, and
he did not know what effect it would have to
remove him; besides he did not know whether
the sheriff could be compelled to deliver up
the prisoner If he did not desire to. In regard
10 sucn case as luis tne law is aoso utely ST.
lent.
The court was as much at loss what to do
as was Mr.. Egan. Judge Brill suggested that
possibly the sheriff could fit up room in>the
Jail where the man could be taken proper care
of. Mr.. Egan replied that if that could be done
the county commissioners, he had no doubt,
would cheerfully pay such bills as might be
incurred for this purpose. The court sug-
gested that perhaps it would be the best way
to consult with the sheriff and see what
arrangement could be made in the Jail. Mr..
Egan went out to see the sheriff
and found him near the court house.
The result of the interview with
the sheriff was, that the latter would consult
with the commissioners and proceed at once
to see what arrangements could be made for
partitioning off room IN the Jail for the use
of the man, and that is the way the matter
now stands.

RAILROAD PASSES.
Response of the Railroad Commissioner of
Iowa to Legislative Request.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. TN the house to-
day the report of the State railway commits
sioner upon the resolution relating to free
passage was read. 1t is humorous and
sarcastic document, and holds that giving
passes to editors is merely an interchange of
goods which each has to sell. He declines to
impugn the motives of judges in accepting
passes. He thinks reduced fares to conven-
tions compensated for by the increased travel
He refers to the letter of Ansel Bascom, 4
member Eof the New York legislature in
1913. The latter refused passes over the Au-
dubon & Rochester railroad on the high NOR
al grounds that he would not accept such
bribe, but the commissioners say the papers
of that day generally denounced the letter as
political clap. trap, and the pass system has
come to be regarded as merely an ex-
change of courtesies and heritage of Office.
Personally they would approve the abolition of
all passes, but abolition should be radical,
prohibiting the issuance of passes over any
road, even to officials of connecting roads.
Dead heads are estimated at 10 per cent. of the
travel. The Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and
California constitutions prohibit pass giving
to certain persons. but California has the
wisest provision, which forbids passes to all
officers except railroad commissioners. These
laws are generally dead letter, but would be
rigldly enforced if put on the statutes of
