A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT
The Question of Dealing With Delln' quents Will Receive Careful Att tention-some Letters From
 Judge of Juvenile Court.
BY ANNIE kENpRIck WALKER.

If only a small part of the space now devoted to quoting the opinions of those oyer-anxious persons who seem to find their intellectual outlet in a discussion of the south's attitude to the negro was devoted to the really great problem now claiming the attention of a few, not only the south, but other sections would see the growing menace to our civilization that is the result of wilful neglect of the vast army of petty offenders.
 To those looking for a problem" of the most significant proportions the youthful criminal presents phases suf- ficiently intricate and desperate to arouse not only the 'agitator,' but to command the attention of every student of social problems.
 While the petty offender is now through the efforts of few men and women, receiving the consideration that proper ly seeks to find an effective remedy, the mere knowledge of solution of the problem will not do 1t; those who are studying 1t know that the salvation de- bends upon the extent of responsibility that may be awakened on the subject.
 The observations of those who are mak- ing a study of criminal statistics-how to reduce them-go to confirm the statement that mere enlightment does not bring about the remedy; and yet we must con- tnue to look to the leaders of this broad CT movement to present the problem in

Finding of Part of Human Skeleton
In Loft Explained.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Aug. 25.-County Coroner
Mueller has received letter from d..
C. Eyer, Of Hartley. Iowa, in regard
10 the identity OF the bones that We're
found in the loft Of the granary on the
Hostettler place near Sharon Center.
In the letter DR.. Eyer admits that the
bones were those that he had obtained
from the dissecting room of the univer-
sity medical building and that ne did
place the bones in the loft Of the gran
ary during the year that his father-in
law was an occupant Of the farm. This
solves the mystery of the ghostly ma
and makes clear all OF the shadowy
lines of crime that had been connect
ed with the story.
AS has been stated in these dispatch
es while the present occupants OF the
farm were clearing away some parts OF
the loft OF the granary preparatory to
cutting q place for window In the end
of the building the workingmen found
two sets of bones. One was bone
from the left leg and the other was a
complete arm and hand. The bones
were in such a condition that 1t was
evident that they had been kept In
their hiding place for several years.
Inquiry showed that the farm had been
the home of n doctor at two different
times County Coroner Mueller started
a correspondence with the former resi-
dents of the place with the above re-
suit.

Reinbeck Creamery Firm Seeks
Release From Involuntary
Bankruptcy Proceedings
HEARING HELD AT WATERLOO.
Evidence Taken Before Referee w. P.
Hoxse, and Will Go Before Judge
Shiras for Final Hearing, at Dubuque,
On Sept. 31Scheduled Liabilities
About $500.
1eeial to Times-Republican.


Waterloo, Aug. 25.-The hearing in
involuntary bankruptcy of Scheiber Il
formerly operating farmers co-opera-
tive creameries in Blackhawk, Tama,
and Gr.undy counties, was held in this;
ity yesterday, before Referee w. p.
doxsie, of the northern district. The
evidence was taken and will be submit
ted before Judge o. p. Shiras, at Du-
buque, on Sept. 8.
The creditors of the creamery fore
ed it into involuntary bankruptcy, 1t
viii be remembered, as the firm itself
was preparing to go into voluntary
bankruptcy. The involuntary petition
took precedence. because of the fact
it was first filed. The firm asks to be
discharged from involuntary bankrupt
cy, and objections have been filed on
behalf of the trustees and creditors, on
statutory grounds. Whether or not
the firm shall be discharged is the main
poin. in question that will come before
Judge Shiras next week for a decision.
The scheduled liabilities of the firm
aggregate a sum of about $4,000, and
q sum of about the same size Is said
to exist in liabilities unscheduled.
Judge j. r. Caldwell. Of Toledo. and
Representative c. e. Walters, of Tama,
appeared before Referee HoXsie, on be-
half of the trustees and creditors.
