Des Moines, Jan. 23.-There is 5000
coming to the Fifth and Sixth batteries
of the National Guard, according to the
information that has come from Wash
ington, d. c. The money is due FOR
time which they spent in camp Nc
Kinley and has been dug up by Adrian
Sizes, who was formerly in the office
Of the auditor Of war. but is now an
attorney. He also claims that a consid-
cradle sum of money is still due from
the government to individuals OF the
| Fiftieth and Fffty-second regiments Tor
u thirty days furlow to which they
were entitled. Some Of the indiVid-
uals of these regiments have put IN
their claims and received the money
but very large number have made no
claim, These claims must be made as
| individuals but the claims OF the Flfth
and Sixth batteries must be taken up
thru the state though the money Will
go to the individuals. The office of the
adjutant general has already taken the
matter up to some extent ana II Is
probable that Adjutant General Thrift
| will further press the matter as soon
as he has taken charge of the office,
February /. 1t develops to that some
| additional pay is due to Adjutant Cen
eral Byers for pay for service during
\ the time the state troops were IN camp
at Camp Mckinley awaiting a call to
active service.
The new adjutant general has al
ready held some conferences with Gov
ernor Cummins relative to the trip to
| Washington to attend the inaugural
services. The governor has not decided
definitely yet to attend but will prob
ably do so in few days at the most
There is a strong desire on the part OF
a large number of people to have the
governor attend the inaugural with his
staff.
]. M. Beard of the correspondence
school at Scranton, Pa, whose pupils
failed to pass the examination OF the
state board of examiners for mine IN
spectors, called on Governor Cummins
Saturday and they went over the mat
ter to some slight extent. The govern
or informed him that he would go over
the papers next Friday with j. w. Bak-
er, of Des Moines, who has become a
member of the board since the examin-
alton was held and that he would be
very glad to have Mr.. Beard present at
the time and go over the papers with
1 them.
The companies of the National Guard
that will be inspected this week are
those at Ottumwa, Burlington. Fairfield
Centerville and Abba.
In the case of the four Ottumwa
saloon men whose fines the governor
refused Saturday to remit there was
a very strong protest on the part OF
the citizens Of Ottumwa against the
remission. Also two officials who had
signed the petition for the remission
Of the fines withdrew their names
claiming that they had signed the petl-
| ton under Misrepresentation OF the
facts. The saloon men made the claim
| that they kept open on the Fourth OF
July purposely to test the law as to
whether it was a holiday under the
mulct law just as other business men
| in other lines of business sometimes
purposely break the law in order to get
| the matter in the courts as a test
case. The showing made to the gov
ernor, however, was that one OF the
saloon men had been fined the year be-
fore for the same offense and that the
court had doubled the fine the second
time. It was further shown that citi-
zens' committee was forced to raise
funds with which to prosecute the
cases against the men.
Judge H. M. Towner, who heard the
Frank A. Greenland case and Coun-
ty Attorney Olson who prosecuted 1t.
both advised against executive clemen-
cy in the matter. A rehearing in the
matter was denied by the supreme
court early in the week, and temper
airy suspension was put upon the serv-
ing of the mittinus by the governor 8
office. Prompt action was necessary
because of the nature Of the case.
Greenland was not in custody. The
case is one Of the most interesting that
has come before the supreme court.
Greenland is the manager Of farm of
several thousand acres in Decatur
county. The farm is owned by his
father and brothers and himself.
Greenland is strapping big fellow of
a rough nature, and keeps about him
at all times lot of rough hired men.
Three cattle were stolen from a field
and driven to the Greenland pen near
Van Vert and shipped to Chicago with
a lot of the Greenland cattle. Frank
Greenland was held responsible and
was convicted and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary He claimed
that il the cattle were stolen they were
stolen by some of the men who work
ed for him and that he was not re-
sponsible. Greenland has not lived on
the most peaceable terms with his
neighbors and is now engaged in lot
of litigation which he claims would be
hindered if he were sent to the peni-
Tertiary.
The early announcement that Julian
Richards is to be a candidate for the
Office of secretary of state and the dis
| covery that there are others from the
| third congressional district who are
desirious of serving the people in po-
| litical office has caused some about the
political centers in this city to rise to
| inquire what all the third district
wants any way. BY consulting one OF
the late official registers 1T was dis
covered that the third congressional
district has thirteen Office holders in
conspicuous places at the present time
