THE GOVERNORS REPORT
Copies of It Are Now Ready fol
 Distribution.

There were received at the office Of the governor yesterday four hundred copies of his report to the secretary of the interior. That will not be nearly enough to go around for each year demands for the reports of governors of Arizona become more urgent, show ing a steadily growing interest in the territory. More copies of the report can be had by paying for the printing of them. Those that have been re- ceived were sent free. The coming legislature will be asked to make an appropriation for the payment of sew eral hundred more copies.
 Those on hand will be distributed as far as they will go. One will be sent to each member of the United States senate for there is much in the report that can not be found in the report Of the senate subcommittee on territories which the senate is just now being asked to accept as the true showing or the territory of Arizona.
 Governor Brodie did not have a great deal of time for the preparation of nis annual report but he had much more time than MT. Beveridge and his asso> ciatcs took for the preparation of theirs.
 The Republican has already printed digest of the report from advance sheets sent out from the office of the secretary of the interior. It goes very fully into all departments of the terri tory and especially deals fully with the mineral resources of Arizona. Nothing is omitted that the seeker of informa- tion regarding the territory would de- sire or that would be of use to him. It contains no illustrations and in that respect it departs from the reports Of the predecessors of Governor Brodie Tor some years. When work was begun on the report there was so little time before the copy would have to be pu; into the hands of the printer that the pictures could not be got ready.

MERGING OF LIBRARIES
The Fiction of Center Street Goes to
 the Public Library.

The fiction department of the pub lie library will shortly be greatly in- creased by the addition of the works of fiction of the Center street school library. Not long ago the trustees of the city library suggested to the man agement Of the school library the pro priety of joining the two. A meeting of the teachers and trustees of tho school and those who had been ac- tive in the organization of the library was called and it was practically de- cided to surrender the works of fic- tion. The reference books were re- tained.
 The reason that the school gives up this part of its library so readily is that there is no one there who has time to take care of the books and superin- tend their distribution.
 There are about 500 works of fiction in the school library beside about 400 short stories. They have been careful ly selected and embrace the best sur rent and classical fiction. Many of the books are naturally duplicates O.: books already in the library.
 The gathering of the school library was begun several years ago but for a long time it was carried along in a desultory fashion. About six years ago the real work of building up the library was begun and it soon became one of the features of the school. Great care was taken in the selection Of the books and for time as great care in the distribution of them. A pupil was not allowed to take just what pleased him but what the custodian of the li- brary thought would do him the most good. None of the books were un- healthful but some of the mwere more healthful but some of them were more healthful than others for certain boys

IOWA WAR CLAIM.
May Be Reduced From $456,ooo Down
to $4,000.

Des Moines, April 21.-Concern Is
felt at the state house because the re-
port of the Iowa civil war claim is
delayed. 1t was expected that informa-
ton would be received as to the
amount which the government would
refund to the state without law suit
in the court of claims before the legis-
lature adjourned. The appropriation
committees were disappointed in this
respect Now comes the information
that possibly the claim will not amount
to so large sum as expected and that
the claim of $4a6.000 may melt down
into $4,000 or $4,000 award.
A difficulty has arisen as to one Of
the items. 1t has been ascertained
that the books of the treasurer OF
STATE show that the government has
paid to the state of Iowa the sum OF
S1,062, 1882 on account of the civil
war, the dates of payment ranging
from July, 1861, to December, 1890.
One of these items Is for 1884 ,274.2S.
II represents a direct war tax levied
by the United States government and
collected in Iowa and turned over to
the state treasurer for disbursement
on account of the governments ex
pensas. If this snail be treated as a
refund" to the state the state cannot
collect interest on it. This is the
point in controversy. The total
amount may be 100000 on this point
alone. 1t is said that there are others
equally delicate of determination.

sEMl.ANNuAL VISITATION.
Board of Control Left Today for the
Southeastern Iowa Institutions.

Des Moines. April 1.-THE state
board of control, accompanied by State
Architect Liebbe has left the city for
the semi-annual visitation of institu'
lions in southeastern Iowa. The insti.
buttons at Davenport, Fort Madison,
Mt. Pleasant, Clarinda, Glenwood and
Council Bluffs will be visited. One of
the most important features OF the in.
spection will be the decision of the
board with regard to the building inn
provements at these institutions which
are considered Indispensable.
1t is the intention of the board to
use only $4,000 of the appropriation
as for the institutions available, during
the present period for building i'm
provements. This will cut out many
of the needed buildings at the various
institutions, and the decision of the
board as to what are the indispensable
improvements will be of interest. The
members of the board will lot return
from their trip until next week.
The board of control has let a con
tract, amounting to $500 worth of
furniture, including tables, dressers,
chairs and other articles needed al

SIX HANerNes IN PROSPECT.
Transcript of Evidence Now Before
the Governor.

Transcript Of Evidence Now Before
the Governor.
Des Moines, April 1S,-Transcripts
of the evidence in cases in which
death penalties are imposed have
been filed with the governor in the
case of Richard Williams and Harry
Hortman. There are six prisoners
in Iowa now awaiting death by hang
ing, and transcripts must be filed with
the governor in all cases. OF those
filed, the hangings will be on sue
ceeding days unless the governor in
terposes and this is regarded as ex-
tremely improbable, inasmuch as there
have been so many aggravated crimes
il Iowa in the past two years that an
example is needed.
The Hortman case comes from Cher
okee. where the prisoner killed his
sweetheart, Florence Porter. November
80, 1901. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to he hanged March IL, 1903.
The conviction of Richard Williams is
for the murder of William Sharper in
Mahaska county, December s, 1901.
The date for the execution is fixed at
March 10, 1908. The first mentioned
is at Anamosa and the other at FIT.
Madison.
Appeals will likely be taken in all
the cases of death penalties, though
the papers in the case have not been
perfected. The remaining four are
Chester Taylor for the murder of DR..
ailor at Newton; Lewis Brooks and
Albert G. Phillips, the bank robbers
who had two victims in Buena Visa
county, and Lewis Busce, who has been
sentenced in Butler county for the
murder of his wife. The date fixed for
the execution of the bank robbers
comes first, December 1S,1902.

COMBINE OF OCEAN LINES
TRANSATLANTIC TRANSPORTA-
TIoN DEAL PUT THROUGH.
Company to Take Over the Leading
Lines Will Be Capitalized at Up
wards of $3.50. 600 OOOQ.

New York, April 21--J. p. Morgan,
who is now abroad, has practically con-
summatcd a plan to combine all the
leading transatlantic steamship lines.
London dispatches to the Associated
Press announcing the combination
have been confirmed at the Morgan
banking house.
The companies to be consolidated
will, 1t is understood, include the
American and Red Star line. Dominion
line, Atlantic Transport line and the
Leyland line. The two last named
lines have been under Morgan control
for some time. Probable additions
to this list are the Cunard, Wilson and
holland-American companies, and 1t
Is understood that working agree
ment" will be reached with the other
leading transatlantic companies, in
GLIDING the North German Lloyd, Ham
rg-American, General Transatlantic
french. Allen and Anchor lines.
Mr.. Morgan has given the matter
much OF mis- time since his arrival on
the other side. In this country the
more important details have been in
the hands of Clement A. Griscom of
the American line. while Charles
Steele. Mr.. Morgan's partner in this
city. has had charge of the local pre-
liminaries.
George w. Perkins of j. p. Morgan
& Co, is authority for the statement
that Ann rican interests will dominate
the proposed amalgamation and de-
clares that the result will prove not
only great triumph Tor Mr.. Morgan.
but will make the United States the
real ruler OF the merchant marine OF
the world. Mr.. Perkins also says that
the plan will be OF greatest benefit1U-
importers and exporters as well as 10
the great railway interests of this
country. Its effect will be felt by
shippers from Maine to California,
Mr.. Perkins says. and also will result
in better understanding between
the commercial interests of this coun-
try and Germany.
1T is true" he added, that Mr..
Morgan will act as syndicate manager
in this combination, just as he
brought together and welded the var
ious interests in the United States
Steel corporation. The financial de-
tails have been completed to the ex-
tent that all the cash necessary for
the deal has been subscribed. 1t is too
soon to speak about the directorate,
but it may be borne in mind that
control of the company will be held
here"

uuired Over $4,000.

Des Moines, April 1S.-Dr. A NJ
Linn of the state board of health has
filed with Governor Cummins his
financial report in reference to the
recent renovation of the Tama Indian
reservation. The report shows that
upwards of $4,000 was required for

stroyed to check the incursions of
smallpox germs. 1t also includes the
cost Of the disinfectants used. such
as formaldehyde gas and corrosive
sublimate fluid with which the Indians
and dogs were bathed. The approps'
ration for the purpose was $1,000.
DIR. Linn accompanied his report with
vouchers for all expenditures and
steps will be taken by the governor
at once to collect back the money
expended from the federal govern
ment.
DR.. Linn is much pleased with the
success of his efforts in renovating
the reservation. He says the Tama
Indian tribe is cleaner now than it
ever was in its history.
