Iowa Legislative Investigation
Committee Not Pleased With
State Institutions.
Penitentiaries and the Council
Bluffs Deaf and Dumb
Asylum
Come in for the Largest Share
of the Censure--Changes
Recommended.

DEs MONIES, Jan. 10-The two peni.
tentiaries Of the state and the asylum
for deaf and dumb at Council Bluffs
receive the bulk of censure in the report
of the Legislative investigating commit
tee submitted to the general assembly.
All the institutions are taken to task
for lax book keeping and unbusinesslike
methods. The agricultural college at
Ames, the state university at Iowa
City, the soldiers orphans home at
Davenport, and the industrial schools
at Mitchellville and Eldora get off easy.
Excessive salaries are found to have
been drawn at the Anamosa peniten.
tiary, and the general system is unbusi.
nesslike. Architects bought material
without specifications on file, and none
was bought under advertisements for
bids. The committee says the system
would not be tolerated by corporations
or individuals. The asylum for deaf
and dumb at Council Bluffs purchased
supplies without reference TO market
values or the quality of the goods re-
ceived. Large quantities of meat Were
purchased from Il butcher who charged
retail prices for wholesale deliveries.
The board Of trustees of the agricul.
tural college at Amcs drew more than
the 80 days salary allowed by law.
The committee takes decided stand
for competitive bids for supplies. /,
finds that the support fund, intended
| for use for keeping inmates. has been
| diverted III almost every institution. tC
! paving salaries and other bills not con
templated by the statute.

Popular Chord In England.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The country gen
orally Is greatly pleased by the an.
nouncement made by the chancellor of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks. Beach,
ut Swansea, in which he echoed the
previous declarations Of Mr.. Balfour at
Manchester on the Indian policy OF the
government, and added that the min
iSters were determined, even at the
cost Of war, that the door Of Chinese
commerce should not be shut to
Great Britain. This declaration is rec.
ognized as clearly defining the govern.
ment's position, and both the liberal
and conservative newspapers commend
the plain speaking.
The Globe says: What we want in
China is trade. We want to make a
market for the commerce Of the whole
world. Sir Michael Hicks Beach's an.
nouncement Of the determination OF
the government is clear and resolute,
and will tend to peace. 1t is pity
that other cabinet ministers have not
spoken thus on other occasions. When
the loan is definitely settled, Russia.
France and Germany will have to let
rs know not only whether they intend
to acQuiesce to the principle we
have laid down, but they will
have to be definitely asked to
give n plain answer on the specific
points which have been discussed. In
carrying out the policy promulgated,
the government will have the support
Of the people Of this country, and also
of two countries, who above all others
are eminently concerned. Both the
United States and Japan recognize the
wisdom and the benefits which are
likely 10 be derived from the ports free
and open.

Mayor Van Wyck explained that he

sad:
DO you see that house there on the cor

Yes" said I. 1T must have cost a for
tune TO build it?''
1t did, was the reply. THAT house be-
lonsed to Henry Meiggs. He built two mag
nihcent palaces In Santiago, and in doing
so spent, venture, more than half a mil.
hon dollars. He sold them however, when
times were hard for more than their cost"
How did he do it?"
He did 1t by a lottery scheme in which
there were 100000 tickets offered for sale
at dollar apiece. The only prizes were
that house and the other, which is further
down the street. Well, only COO 600 tickets
We're sold. and when the drawing was
made it was found that the numbers of
the prizes were left among the 1OO, 900 un-
sold blanks. So, you see, Meiggs got his

Dewcy's Gupners PrnctisinE

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Dewey's gunners have not lost their cum
ming They are the same old dead shots
who sent the Spanish fleet to the bottom
drawer of Mr. David Jones locker. and
they are ready for more real gunnery. That
they may not forget their cunning or lose
the knack, they are constantly kept In
practice The Olympia has a rehearsal of
the real thing five days each week, and the
rest of the fleet, down to the auxiliary
liberal extent, There is no needless waste
that, but sub-calibers are used. Small
shells inserted in large tubes or cases are
inserted in the heavier guns. and. save for
the size of the projectile, the results OBJ
tanned are the same. The gunners fire at
floating target, which is towed past the
ships by a launch, and the accuracy Of
their firing Is wonderful. Each of the NOV
ing targets is surmounted by a red flag,
usually about two feet square One of that
kind was used by the Olympia yesterday,
and at ranges varying from 800 to 400 yards
the flag was punctured fifty times The
short, narrow staff from which ii futtered
was splintered, and the float itself was
badly disfgured by the keen-eyed cool
headed Americans behind the guns There
was simply no wild shooting, and If IL had
been real instead of mimic warfare every
projectile would have performed its part
August Kulmlin is the gunner of the flag
ship and very proud is he of the crews uRp
der him.
