points are involved in both The 5000 900
issue authorized by the city council was
proposed to take up the old outstanding
general and water fund warrants and thus
place the city on a cash basis. one OF tho
main points involved was whether such
issue OF bonds would cause the Indebtedness
OF the city to exceed the constitutional limit
or whether they would simply take the
place OF tho warrants for which they were
to be exchanged. The ruling Of the supreme
court seems to affirm the doctrine that they
would not increase the Indebtedness. In

and was discharged for the term. A number
Of indictments we're returned, but only one
of them was made public, the others being
withheld, as the defendants were not in
custody.
The indictment made public was against
| Eli Brown, the Broadway grocer, on the
| charge of selling and having in his posses
! sion for sale oleomargarine containing col
! oring matter in imitation Of butter, in viola
! tion of the Iowa laws. The indictment Is
! the result of prosecutions instituted against
! Brown and other dealers in this city by
| the state dairy commissioner and his dep
! uty. The others pleaded guilty and paid
! fines, but Brown took the stand that the
law was unconstitutional and decided to
fight the case, taking it to the supreme
court If necessary. Brown at once gave
bail for his appearance.
Although the indictments were not made
! public 1t was admitted in the county at
torney's Office that the grand jury had found

| Judge Smith instructed the clerk of the
district court to call the attention of the
city authorities to the report of tle grand
jury.
| The report of the grand jury on the county
| Jail showed that it was in good condition.
| The grand jury in the case of Justice Wien
decided that there was criminal intent
on his part in Withholding certain fees from
the county which he claims are due him for
office rent and expenses, and County At
| torney Kilpack will bring suit to recover
| the amount This is exactly what Justice
| Wen desired as the question can then be
settled by the courts on an agreed state
ment OF facts. In the event of the court
ruling against him, Justice Wen is at once
prepared to turn over the $190 to the county
treasurer.

Eaton aud His Supporters Are Well
Provided For--Joint Convention
CONFIRMS the Election of
Gear as senator.

DES MONIES, Jan 17.-(special Tele-
gram THE announcement of the house
committees this morning by Speaker Bowen
was a complete surprise. For the last week
1t has been whispered about that Bowen
would take care OF the people who helped
him to win the gavel and would turn down
completely those who opposed him. Des
Moiues promoters Of the Cummns candidacy
pictured the factional fight that would re-
suit in the house and declared the Gear
and Bowen people would be fought to the
bitter end of the session.
This afternoon every one is complmenting
the speaker on his appointments He has
given the best charmanships to those who
opposed him. The appointment of Eaton to
the craftsmanship of the most important
committee in the house, ways and means,
would in itself reegate all bitterness to the
past. 1t makes the defeated candidate the
most important member of the house. Sec
Cni on this committee is Prents of Ringgold
who at one time was a Gear sympathizer,
but later threw all his support for Eaton
and Cummings. Byers of Shelby, Stewart
of Polk and other prominent Cummns
people are members Of the ways and means
committee. Following came Temple of
Clarke, chairman Of judiciary; h. Byers of
Shelby. Carr of Polk, Eaton OF Mitchell
and Blake of Webster, four members who
were leaders in the Cummins- Eaton cam
paign. Carr of Polk is made chairman of
banks and banking, Overfeld of Howard gets
private corporations, Stewart of Polk build
ing and loan; Theunen of Scott and other
OF Mr.. Eatons friends are given good
cha rmanshps.
Bowen, at the conclusion of his announce
ment, stated that he wished to say a word
relative to the appointment of his oppo-
nent for speaker, Eaton, to the best chair
manshtp at his command In BRIEF he said: :
Il feel | owe this word to Mr.. Eaton:
The appointment is the result of my personal
wish. 1t was made as an indication of per-
sonal friendship, to show my high regard
OF the gentleman's ability and my appre-
citation OF the way he has treated Senator
Gear and his friends In the late campaign.
MI Eaton did not know of the appoints
ment and it was in fact made in opposition
to his expressed wish"

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
4 Possible Recommendation Con
Crrning Contract Labor.

The sessions Of the Industrial Commits
sion were resumed yesterday al the Bliss
Building. The subjects for consideration
before the Commission during the next
two weeks are the reports on contract
labor transportation, and general labor.
From The nature Of the testimony taken
on the subject of contract labor II is
surmisei that the Commission viii pro-
pose to eliminate the competition Of The
products Of contract labor with those Of
free labor by legislation that will prevent
the sale Of such products OF contract labor
ina State other than that in which those
products are made.
The Commission will probably recon-
mend that such legislation be enacted by
Congress. and viii further recommend
that all the States enact uniform laws on
the subject.
