BILL FOR A REFoRMAToRY.
Senator Emmert Expects to Introduce
Measure

| DeS MoineS, Jan. 2.-Senator j. NJ.
Emmert, of Atlantic, is said to have
prepared bill for introduction at the
coming session Of the general assem-
bly, providing for state reformatory
for men at Anamosa on lines similar
to those advocated in the board of
controls biennial report. There is a
strong likelihood such measure will
be adopted by the general assembly
this session.
The idea of the board of control is
that the institution at Anamosa
should be set apart as reformatory
and that Fort Madison should be the
state prison in the accepted sense OF
this term. The plan for a reformato-
Try at Anamosa comprchends much.
The board of control in its biennial re-
port advocates that this institution
shall be open to men convicted of fell
onies who are not less than 16 nor
more than 80 years of age. In connec-
| tion with this, provision for intermedi-
ate sentences is favored.
| 1t is understood Senator Emmert's
| bill is prepared to conform closely to
the board of controls recommends
/ tons. The enactment of the measure
would not result in much of an ex.
pense to the state. No new buildings
would be needed. Fort Madison peni-
| tentiary is capable of holding large
number more prisoners. Those not
coming under the age limitations fixed
by the law would he transferred to
Fort Madison. 1t is proposed to do
all possible in the way of teaching the
| inmates of the reformatory for men
trades. There would be some expense
| in carrying out this idea, as the EN-.
lployment OF skilled mechanics to teach
these trades would be necessary. This
expense and that for the transferring
of inmates would be the principal
sources of outlay additional to the
present penitentiary expense.

Big Corporation Unable to Finance
Enterprises.
IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE AND GET IT
Statement Is Issued in Which the
Cause OF the Concerns Embarrass-
ment Is Gven-situation Has Been
Known for Some Time.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. "A commit
tee of the Cleveland bankers has TAX
en- charge of the various properties
controlled by the Everett-Moore syn
dicate.
Owned Trolley and Telephone Lines.
The Everett-Moore syndicate own
or control many trolley and telephone
lines throughout Ohio and Michigan.
The following are the more important
street car companies:
Cleveland Electric Railway Co.; De-
troit United Railway Co.; Cleveland
Electric Railway Co.; Detroit
United Railway Co.; Cleveland,
Painesville 6 Eastern Railroad Co. !;
Detroit & Toledo Shore Line Railroad
Co.. The Lake Shore Electric Co., and
the Northern Ohio Traction Co.
All these properties were found,
hardly without exception, to be in
good condition, perfectly solvent and
in nowise embarrassed.
Among the telenbo-a properties are
the United States hong Distance Tel
.ephone Co., Cuyga Ffoga Telephone
Co., of Cleveland Stark County
(Ohio) Telephone Co.: The Peoples
Telephone Co., of Detroit, and numer-
GUS others
A statement issued by the commit
tee this afternoon says in part:
1T became apparent some time ago
to some of the members of the Ever
ettMoore syndicate, so-called, that on
account of the tight money situation
in different centres where they were
financing some of their enterprises,
that although in their opinion they
owned several million dollars worth
of property, over and above liabilities,
they would be unable, without tempo
rary assistance, to meet their obliga-
tions in the interests which are con-
trolled by them. Many of these OBJ
legations arose from the fact the syn,
dicate was engaged in the construct
ion of number of enterprises which
are not yet fully completed, requiring
large amounts of money for labor and
materials in construction :"

Common Stock of the North
ern Pacific Railroad is
Being Retired.
OBSTACLE OUT OF WAY
Formal Call Made for the Retirement
of the Preferred stock of the North
ern Pacific Railroad company-No-
tees Issued Showing the Plan.

New York; Jan. Formal notice
issued today says that in the exercise
of the power conferred upon it the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co has re-
tired its preferred stock in whole. Yes
terday notice was also given by
the company that it hal elected to re-
quire the holder OF every 4 per cent
convertible certificate of the company
to convert the same into common
stock at the rate OF one shaie of s10O
for each 500 unpaid principal
of the certificate. These no.
tees showed that after to-
day the capital ata :, os The Company
will consist of $155,C39,SGo, entirely

cate is Issued to provide for The re-
tiremcnt ,of the preferred and
the preferred would be rctir-
ed Immediately. All the North
ern Pacific stock is to be taken over
by the Northern Securities Co., which
will also acquire all the stock of the
Great Northern.
The belief in Wall street is general
today that the rapid retirement of the
preferred stock followed by the re-
demption of the bond issues for its re-
tirement, had removed an obstacle in
the way of carry ng out the plan for
the adjustment OF the difficulties which
grew cut OF the contest for the control
Of the Northern Pacific last May.

in This State.

Des Moines, Jan. 2.-Insurance COM
panies doing business in Iowa are pre-
pairing for more rigorous business
methods commencing with the new
year and the premium rates on many
classes of risks that have not already
been advanced will probably be push
ed up in the next few days. Then,
too, quite number of the companies
are preparing to quit business in the
state altogether. In the past two
months no less than eight companies
that have heretofore written hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of fire
insurance in the state each year have
discontinued their Iowa agencies, re-
written their insurance with other
companies or Cancelled the policies. 1t
is claimed by well informed insurance
men that of the $50 companies doing
business. in the state a year ago, not

ed With Destruction.

New York. jan 2.-The Morton
house and Keith's theater, at Union
Square and Fourteenth street, were

frightened patrons of the hotel were
forced by the smoke to make hasty
exit from their rooms. A great deal

neighborhood by fear that the fire
would spread. Twenty-Five fremen
were overcome by smoke but all were

fined to the lower part of the hotel.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-While fire insur-
ance companies closed one of the
worst years in their history and one
marked by greater number of retire
ments and reinsurances of well known
companies than any other since the
great Chicago fire, the life insurance
business is in condition of remark
i. bic prosperity. In both branches the
volume of premiums is greatly increas-
ed, but in life insurance the losses can
be mathematically predicted and are
running below the figure provided for
in the rates. while in fire insurance
the losses are away above the normal.

DOCTOR cRiTicisEs.
Finds Fault With Conduct Of WapelIo
County Hean.tal fer Insane.

Des Moines. Jan. DR. Applegate,
one of the physicians who made the
semi-annuai inspection of the county
insane asylums for the board of con-
troi, finds much fault with the way
those ulIortunates are cared for in
Waneno county and has embodied his
findings in report to the board
DR.. Appiegate says he finds the
building poorly ventilated Eleven
men and one woman live on the lower
floor and sleep there. One female
patient is constantly restrained and,
the greater part Of the time, is in Sc
clusion. The room occupied by these
patients is not fit for a human being.
g One consumptive insane wo-
man is kept in the pauper depart
ment" Oils and other inaaGmables-
arc kept in one of the basement rooms
adjoining that in which the eleven
men and one woman sleep Several
patients do not receive proper care
and attention. It is recommended no
acute case be permitted to enter the
Wapello county asylum.
According to Investigations made re-
Gently by party Of Drori1ent Wapel-
10 county people, Composed OF Senator
elect S. H. Harper, Representative A.
w. Buchanan, the members OF the
board of supervisors, cx-memhers of
the board aud other county officials,
this criticism by Dr. App,egata IS alto
gether too harsh. The statement that
one of the rooms in the Wapello coun-
ty house is unfit to be occupied by dogs
is unfair on its face. aud this fact is
proved by the lack of illncss that re-
suits from poor ventilation. Such dis
orders are made known through the
channels Of typhoid Fever usually, and
there have been but two cases of ty-
phoid fever at the county farm in
eight years.
What DR.. Applegate speaks OF as
oils and other inflammablesp are two
barrels of vinegar which are stored in
one of the rooms in the basement, along
with ether grocery supplies. Reliable
parties say that DR.. Applegate's criti-
cisrs OF the Wapello county farm are
altogether too harsh and are unfair,
and II is thought that Investigation
will bear this statement out. That
Several patients do not receive proper
care is untrue is also one Of the state
ments made by people who should
know.
