Another Scheme for Iowa i'm Case
Schmidt's Local Option Bill
Is Defeated.
Democratic Senators Say the
Publicity Given the Bill
Will Defeat 1t.

Sioux Cry, Iowa. Special Telegram. Feb.
16.--ln case the Schmidt local option bill is
defeated it seems probable that license
bill prepared by Senator Yeomans Will be
strongly supported. The Democrats at the
capitol, fearing that the Schmidt bill will
Jail of passage, have planned TO introduce
q new bill. much more stringent in its pro-
visions which they hope will capture a
number of the Republicans. 1t was not
the intention to make il public for some
time but it was given out here accident
ally.
The new bill applies to cities of 1000 or
more population, which are allowed local
option OH petition of 200 property owners.
Special elections are to be held to vote on
the question OF licensing saloons the
license not to be less than 81, 900 nor more
than 81, 500. Saloookeepers must give
bonds in the sum O.. $40, 900. A commits
sion appointed by the governor will ell
force the law i'll each city.
The Yeomans bill will be supported by
many Prohibitionists and strongly opposed
by many saloon men as to rigorousness. 1t
is said that the bill will have the support of
a large section ofihe Democratic party. It
leaves the present law iii operation in coun-
try towns ofle>s than 1900.
The publication of the bill has caused
conservation among the Democrats O. this
section. 1t is declared this action will re-
suit in the disorganiZatiom of The party and
in the undoing of the work by which the
Democrats in the legislature have been got
in line or the support OF the Schmidt bill.
The party leaders OF this section are sup
posed to be responsible Tor the preparation
OF the bill. Its publication seems likely to
lead to rupture between the factions of
the party. Those who have been honestly
in favor of the repeal OF the law and who
want strong license bill passed have no
criticism of the Yeomans bill, but say that
the premature publication will probably re-
suit in the de eat Of any license bill at this
session.
The Democrats, who hoped that even if
the law should not pass, the continuation
Of a prohibition regime would help the
Democrats for the neXt two or three years.
have come to believe that if the bill fails
now the failure will be attributed to the
bungling methods of the Democratic man.
ipulators in allowing the Yeomal bill to
fall into the hands of the prtss. Hence
there is great uneasiEess among The Demo-
| Gratis. The Yeomans bill is criticised by
the saloon men and indorsed by the Prohi-
bitionists generally. Many o. the latter
declare however. that they will savor a no
| license bill, and that they will organize a
vigorous third party movement at once If
| the law is repealed.

CHICAGO Feb. 16.-A veritable pest house
was discovered lost night by police officers
who ran down seven of the nine Italians
who arrived on the typhus fever infected

reached New York Jan. 30.
The Italians were discovered in crowded
tenement house at Eighty first and Lyme
streets close beside the Western Indiana
airlroad tracks and only a stones throw
from the thickly settled district in Auburn
Park. AT this point is macaroni factory
which serves as harboring place or hun
dreds Italians who yearly arrive and
stay there until they find employment else
where Around the place are a number of
cottages. 1t was in one of these cottages
crowded into single room, that the Off

and five children, all infected with disease
and spreading the contagioa about them.
Two other passengers on the infected S! !eam-
er are known TO be in Chicago, and are sup
posed TO be located on Milwaukee avenue.

the action of the health officer OF the port
in quarantining such large numbers of i'm
