WILL FIGHT the
DIPSOMANIAC Law
New Law Assaulted on Many
Points by Mrs. Matte
Robinson.
is FIRST WOMAN SENT VI
Declares Inebriates Must Be Examined
by Insanity Commission or Else
Tried by Jury-Law May Be
Unconstitutional.
Is FIRST WOMAN SENT VI


Dcs Moines, Ia, Oct. 23.-In u habeas
corpus proceeding brought before the
supreme court to secure the release of
Mrs. Matte Robinson of this city, the
question of constitutionality of the new
dipsomaniac law passed by the last
general assembly Is raised.
The law is attacked ON a number of
points. 1T Is maintained the law as
sumes the person charged with being
an inebliate is either insane or Grim
inal and if that is the case the person
SO charged is entitled to be examined
by an insanity commission or to be
tried by a jury. whereas the law only
makes provision for hearing before a
judge of the district court.
Other alleged Weaknesses of the law
are pointed out. If the measure is de-
clared unconstitutional the hundred or
more nebriates at Mt. Pleasant and
Cherokee hospitals will have to be
turned loose.
Mrs. Robinson has been adjudged an
lnebriate and ordered sent to Mt. Pleas
ant. She is the first woman to be SEN
fenced for excessive use of liquor,
though several have been sent to the
lnebriate departments for use of NOR
f,hina

an hour and half arose calmly and

There had been n renewal of serious
opposition of the steam men, and heat.-
| ed words had passed between the dele
gates Explanations of the presidents
proposition had been made in four diff

more opposition than ever to settle
| ment, when suddenly there was break
| in the clouds. The motion was put by
| a delegate down in front near the pre-
| siding officer, and in a clear voice the
| strike leader called for q vote on the
| all important question. Instantly there
| was u roar of ayes.
The next instant messengers We're
| flying in all directions from the con-
| yenton to give the news to the world
| through the newspapers. Hundreds of
| miners who We're not delegates filled
| the sidewalks near the entrance to the
| Nesbit theater, where the convention
| met. The news quickly spread among
/ the men and their faces at once be-
came brighter.
After the strike had been declared off

esponse to this request he said:
Question Goes Over.

We have not adopted their proposition
as they made it. and the proposition would
never with my consent have been adopted
as they made 1t. When the coal compa-
MES thought to practically name the ar
bitrators we objected and secured a modi-
fication of their proposals That modIfica-
ton enabled the president to select men
outside of the classes suggested by the
operators. Organized labor is represented
on the commission. do not, however, as
sumo that either the capitalists or the
trade unionists who are on the commits
sion will permit their special interests to
influence their judgment in making their
decisions: but organized labor is on that
commission and it Is there because the
president of the United States wanted it
there and because we would not agree to
the proposition unless 1t was there.
Then the delegates again took UP the
debate. Many of the delegates spoke
with great earnestness. Three of them
We're willing to return to work and
trust to the union to do justice; anoth-
err was willing to leave the whole mat
ter in the hands of President Roose-
velt's commission, and another said:
III cannot get my job back can look
for another; therefore let us go to work
and give the American people some
coal"
The sentiment of the last speaker
was loudly applauded.
After further debate on both sides
of the question it was decided to let
the question so over until today.

Some new anecdotes OF King Ludwig
III. are related in the Jugend Of Munich.
One day he said to his court pianist,
Hans Won Buelow: IA short time be-
fore l ascended the throne I was still
sent to bed at 10 o'clock every evening
after kissing my fathers hand. Then
my mother came into my room to see
that l was warmly covered. Shortly
thereafter l was king. 1t was a disad-
vantage hard to overcome. What he
meant by this was made clear by re-
mark he once made to the eminent
jurist, Baron Windshield; Il am afraid
You thought me at first uncommunica-
tive. But the fact is, when I meet a
savant lam apt to be reticent for fear
of exposing my lack Of knowledge. 1,
too, was to have been sent to a uni
versity, but that plan was spoiled by

the Iowa banks are now on Las

About two weeks ago many of the
Iowa banks We're beginning to feel the
closeness of the money market in New
York city. They had loaned out all of
their surplus funds up to the very limit
and, feeling that a crash was coming,
We're closing up on all of the money
that came in and We're refusing to
make loans. Although the situation
did not continue critical long enough
to alarm the depositors and cause amy
runs, any number OF Iowa banks would
have been In q poor position to have
withstood demands of their deposltors
for funds. Now that Wall street has
been supplied With money by Secre-
tary Shaw, the Iowa banks are breath
lag easier and everything is getting
back into its normal position.
The failure of the banking firm of
Gilman, Son & Co. of New York city,
announced through the dispatches
caught a number of Iowa banks, ac-
cording to Mr.. Whelan. He does not
anticipate that any of the banks had

that amy failures will result in Iowa.
