ROCK ISLAND DEAL LEGAL
Iswa's Attorney General Holds No Law
Have Been Violated.
GOVERNOR CUMMINs CoNCURs IN RULING
For the Next Legislature to Enact
Laws to Head on h New De-
vice for the Watering
of stocks,
CFrom a Stan Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Sept. H. Special Tele-
gram)-The opinion of Attorney General
Mullan In the matter Of the consolidation
of the Rock Island properties was hled to-
day and with 1t Governor Cummins nled
his concurrence in the conclusions. The
governor set on foot the Investigation as
to the legality Of the consolidation under
an Iowa charter and the inquiry as TO
whether or not It could not be prevented
as being against public policy. He hled
the facts OF the organization OF the Iowa
company and the New Jersey companies
before the attorney general and asked for
a legal opinion as to whether the new
Rock Island company Of Iowa is a law
fully organized corporation and whether the
transaction described can be arrested at
the instance Of the state, or stating the In
curry in its broadcast terms: rs there any
remedy under our laws for so grave an Of
tense against public policy?"
The attorney generals opinion is ex-
h~austive and he reacher the conclusion
that the transaction is entirely legal in
every phase under the Iowa laws; that
there is nothing in the Iowa laws to pre-
vent the purchase Of the stock of one rail-
road company by another, provided they are
not parallel and competing, and nothing
preventing the classification Of stock in the
manner done by the Rock Island reorgan-
izers. There is nothing TO prevent the is
sue OF stock OF a face value far beyond the
actual value of the property purchased.
The attorney general says he finds moth
ing done in violation OF the policy of the
state as indicated by the acts Of the leg
islature and decisions Of the courts and
no proceedings on behalf of the state TO
arrest the recognizing can be maintained
under the laws as they exist.
Governor Cummins hles his concurrence
In this view and adds: THE thing done
is neither a merger nor a consolidation.
Not a mile OF track nor a dollar in value is
added to the Rock Island property. 1t is
simply a new device for watering seeuri-
ties. II is FOR the next general assembly
to say whether II is wise to permit our
laws to so remain that such things are
possible"

Trouble of Pesthouse.

In the event of another epidemic Of
smallpox this winter the city will be forced
to provide a hospital for female patients
somewhere within the corporate limits.
The plan proposed to build an addition to
the pest house near MINISTER Springs for
a female ward cannot be carried out, as
the trustees Of Garner township have de-
clined to grant the necessary permission
to the city.
Residents OF Garner township, who
never looked favorably on the city's pest
house in their locality, are up in arms
against any enlargement Of the building
and numerous remonstrances have been filed
with the township trustees. When Mayer
Morgan and City Solicitor Snyder, compris
ing the special committee appointed by the
city counc to confer with the Garner
township authorities. called upon the trus
tees they we're met with these remon
stranees and the information. that the trus-
tees could not grant the permission sough'
by the city in the face Of the protests Of
the residents and taxpayers Of the town
ship.
The isolation hospital In Garner town
ship is the property Of the city and has
been established for a number Of years. Il
has been used solely for the accommoda
ton Of male patients. and last winter the
city was confronted with the problem o.
caring for female smallpox patients. tn
same problem is liable TO confront the CITY
again this winter. and Mayor Morgan is c
the opinion that the only solution will b.
to build a suitable hospital within the city
limits.
The city council may not take the re
fusal Of the Garner township trustees {
permit an enlargement OF the pssthouse a
Anal. but may appeal to the chairman o
the State Board Of Health. an appeal be
Ing provided for under the new law gov
erning local boards OF health. The mat
ter will come up for discussion at the meet,

Eleven schools show increases in en-.
rollment, while four show losses, and one,
the Hill school, the same enrolment as
last year. The largest increase is at the
Second avenue school, where the enroll
ment this year is $50 as against 242 last
year. The Twentieth avenue school shows
an increase of 1OS. The change of bounda-
ries to relieve the congested condition at
the Washington avenue school accounts for
the slight decrease In the enrolment at
this building. The decrease in the enroll
ment at the Pierce street school is due to
the fact that a number Of pupils were
transferred to other buildings this year.

The following simple remedies

advised to give these remedies a fair

To Cure TOOthache-When tooth

means of stout rope, so that jump
ing is impossible. IftOOth continues
to ache 90 to some dentist who has
a pull.
To Cure InsOmnia-Shut your
eyes and count gray sheep, which
you must imagine you see jumping
over a pair of bars. Count from
sheep No. 1 up to sheep No. 81, 432.
By that time it will be daylight and
you will be obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove a Wart-Try filing it
off and if the wart does not succumb
to this use a stump puller Ii this
fails try saying words over it, but
don't swear 50 hard that the neigh
bors will hear you.-Ohio State

England, last February. Alta point
about three miles from the center
of the city a sample Of snow which
had been lying ON the ground for
ten days WAS melted and the dry

1t was found to be equivalent to

carbon, 90 per cent grease and
44.5 per cent ash.
Another sample taken from near
the center of the city showed about
three times the amount mentioned,

with the SCOT makes it stick to the
buildings or whatever else it falls
upon.

CHINESE GIRLS COM
NIT SUICIDE.
They Think the Gods Have Deserted
Them.

Oriental advices received at Ia
coma, Wash, describe an appalling
epidemic of suicides OF young women
in southern China.
The usual method is for six or
eight girls to tie themselves together
and deliberately walk into deep
river. Six hundred girls have COM
mitted suicide in this manner.
The wholesale suicides have
caused much alarm and the au-
thorities are exerting strict measures
to prevent them. They are most
numerous in Kwang Tung, around
Canton and on the island of
Hainan. in Kwang Tung. There
was dearth of rain for months
despite daily prayers. Many girls
believed the gods had fOrsaken
them, and therefore ended their
existence.
The famine in Hainan has caused
girls to be sold into slavery. Many
sought death in the manner des-
cribed rather than become slaves.
