Des Moines Savings
81, 900, 900 s1,s7s,61o


Senator Lewis also finds by compu-
tation that the actual average OF de-
posits in Des Moines banks for the
biennial period was S1.202, 500. The IN
terest on this sum at per cent would
be s4s, 100, and at oa per cent would
be s60,125 The cost of the treasur-
er's bond for two years would be So
600. The Des Moines banks put up the
bond and get the deposits as their
compensation.
..How an innocent looking newspaper
paragraph cost $20, 1000 :or why legis-
lature changed its mind too quickly,
might be the proper title of a booklet
to be issued by the Iowa commission
having in charge the preparation OF an
Iowa exhibit at the next worids falr.
Fortunately there is no money to pay
for publishing the same and 1t VIII
have to be omitted from the large list
of works by Iowa authors to be shown
at st. Louis. The incident which
might serve as foundation for the mar
rative came about this way. A legis-
latiye committee after investigation
recommended $AU,Vuu dluiiioiitti ioi eiiS
use of the exposition commission and
it was duly appropriated. Neither the
commission nor any members asked
specifically for this 100000. It was
what the legislature decided ought to
be given to complete the plans of the
commission The commission held its
regular quarterly session and trans
acted routine business. The matter of
what to do with the $4,000 was in
formally discussed and it's exact dis
position was deferred because of no
necessity for haste. Then laxative
member told that there was some dis
n ereemant among members to what to
do with the money and a newspaper
reporter wrote sensa tional story OF
how the president of the commission
was supposed to have said the commits
sion didn't want the money anyway
and he favored not making use of it at
all. and how it was to he made use of
for purposes other than what the legis-
lators contemplated. 1t was a bril-
liant stroke of sensational Journalism;
and when the Legislators, read it next
day they proceeded to recall the bill.

FORGED HIS PARDON
Convict Who Thus Escaped Is Again
Locked Up.


San Francisco. March Joseph
Write, one Of the military prisoners
who secured his release from Alcatraz
Island last October by means OF
forged pardon, has been arrested IN
this city and is again a convict In the
island prison. With four companions
he was released from Alcatraz on
what the officers in charge of the prls-

away was the fraud discovered. An m

had heen Matched and carried out by
the men in the prison. The men had

Des Moines, March mot great
dead was done in the legislature today.
The house met at o'clock this after
noon. An invitation to so to Ames to
visit the college on Wednesday was
accepted. Two insurance bills were
passed.
The scheme to secure for the state of
Iowa interest on the states money held
in banks subject to the order of the
state treasurer is not making very
great progress at this time. A bill was
introduced, the second bill in the SEN
ate, by Senator Lewis, of Page coun-
ty, the requirements of which We're that
ON the money of the state of Iowa re-
naming on deposit in the banks which
are legal depositaries for the state
funds such depositary shall pay to the
treasurer of state for the use OF the
state interest at such rate and at such
times as shall be agreed upon between
said treasurer and the depositary
aforesaid, with the approval OF the ex-
ecutive council" The bill went to the
ways and means committee first. Now
IL is held up in another committee OF
the senate and has rested there without
a hearing for many weeks. The ways
and means committee heard the pro-
tests of the bankers who now have the
funds free of interest and Immediately
reported the bill out for passage with
the only change that q publication
clause was added. Now another com
Irittee has the bill IN hand and is medi-

state Treasurer Gilbertson. It is re-

disposition of these funds. He finds
that during 1908 the average balances
in the Des Moines banks, OF state mon

The Perry Advertiser the democratic
hands and incidentally has become a
republican newspaper The Advertiser
was established in 1885 and has con-
tinued until the present time as n
democratic paper. For the past thir-
teen years it's editor has been Sam e.
Carrell, one of the ablest Of the dem
ocratic newspaper men of the Eleventh
district, and it has been n prosperous
newspaper altho in Il county overwhel-
mingly republican. Mr.. Carrell sold out
to his partner. r. e. Zerwekh, who has
associated with him H. G. Giddings. a
lawyer. The change to a republican
paper gives Perry two republican pa
pers and leaves the democratic party
IN the coutny without representation.
Mr.. Carroll will probably soon pur-
chase democratic daily paper
The democratic organ for Iowa which
was promised for Des Moines seems to
be very slow in blossoming out. 1t
was promised about the first of the
year and the date of coming out has
been postponed repeatedly and now
nobody knows just when it is to be
started. The local democracy, since
the republicans made such mess OF
it, has taken on some apparent new
life and will make a fight for the city
administration with some hope of sue
cess and therefore in a local way the
democrats are chatting because the
democratic organ does not come forth.
The Hearst people have begun to
show their plan. They will cinch a
county, then call the convention at
once and push the campaign. Two
counties have already been served this
way. They are making an aggressive
fight for Iowa and it looks very much
like they would win. They have head
quarters here and are carrying on an
extensive correspondence.

uapanese Fleet Said to Have Made an
Attack.

yladiyostok, March IA feet OF I'VE
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at 1:25 Sunday
afternoon and bombarded the town
and shore batteries for ffty-five min
utes
The feet approached from the direc-
tion OF Askold island as the east en-
arance to Ussuri bay and about thirty
two miles southeast of Vladivostok.
Entering Ussuri bay the enemy formed
IN line of battle. but did not approach
70 closer range than mile and ona-
third. They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted, as most Of their
600 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries commanded
by General veronetz, and Artamonoff,
did not reply, awaiting a closer ap-
proach OF the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:20
10. M, and the enemy retired in the
direction OF Askold island. Simultau-
eously two torpedo boat destroyers ap-
peared near Askold island and two
more near Cape Maidel. The japanese
ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to
the Russians, but cost the enemy
100000 roubles (s1oo,ooo) in ammuni-
tion. Most of the projectiles We're six
and twelve inch shells.
The population OF yladivostok was
warned yesterday morning of the pres
ence on the horizon OF a hostile fleet
and the prospect OF an attack during
the day, but it remained tranquil.
