change. The oil inspectors will prac-
tically all be represented. there being
some doubt in only one or two cases

L. G. Kinre, Of the state board OF
control, is planning to attend the ma
tional conference of charities and cor
#rections to be held in Portland, Me-,
June Is. and while away will visit
several institutions where information
may be had OF value to the state board
He will visit the state hospital at
Ogdensburg, and the great private SAN

time near by. He will also visit the
institutions at Massachusetts,, and par
ticularly the state hospital for fne-
briates at Foxborough, which has now
been In operation a number of years
with good success. Every year some
one or more members of the board at.
tends the national conference and visits
institutions in that part of the coun-
try.
At the meeting of the. American
Medico- ARCHAEOLOGICAL Society in st.
Louis. the latter part of the month,
the five superintendent Of Iowa insti-
tutions in which mental diseases are
treated will take part. They will go
to ST. Louis to attend the meeting and

The supreme court has been asked to
rehear the famous Doyle-Burns min
ing suit involving the valuable Grippe
Greek mines operated by the Portland
Mining Company. It Is regarded az
probable this Is more to gain time
than for hope Of change In the opin :
ion. which bears evidence OF having
been exhausHvely considered by the
court If A rehearing is granted the
second trial will not likely come on
for more than year. Doyle's judg-
merp was for s446,922.73. 1t is not gen
orally known that because Of his hav-
ing brought suit In Iowa after Colo
RADIO court had enjoined him not to 40
so, Doyle was thrown into jail for
contempt. and remained there for
eight months He was at the time
MAYOR of the town of Victor. Ills re-
lease from jail was in pursuance OF an
agreement to permit re-opening of the
case in Iowa. Big lawyers ais big
fees have characterized the case. An
illustration of the way in which the
litigants do business was afforded
when Ex-Governor Thomas and others
of the counsel for Burns came to Des
Moines at the time the case was sub
mitted and they worked all night on
reparation of an argument. They
wanted it printed the next day. No
print shop In town would agree to dc
1t in a day as it made nearly zoe pages
Finally one firm took the contract
with instructions to present bill for
what il was worth and the entire es
tablishment was turned over to one
lob for the one day, at great expense

the counties OF the state are making
