for violating the liquor laws. He
went to serve the warrant on speclal
appointment as constable and was ar.
rested and revolver found In his hip

To Lease Land to Fair.

Des Moines.-The committee ap-
pointed by the advertising committee
of the Commercial club to take steps
to secure additional lands for the state
fair grounds, will appear before the
executive council with a proposition.
They will propose to buy the addition
al acreage which Is needed, provided
that the state fair management viii
lease it with an option of buying 1t
when the funds are available.
II is believed that this plan will
'ofve the difficulty which confronts
the state fair management, and enable
them to secure the additional nine
acres to the south of the present
grounds to use for pens. The pan
providing that the state can lease it
gives the fair the use of the ground
and in the meantime they can have
the chance to pay for 1t. The COM
mittee expects to sell the ground at
the figure for which 1t is secured
from the present owners.
The members of the committee OF
the club are f. M. Hubbell, j. II. Cow
ME and r. r. McCutchen. Members
of the committee said that they would
make the executive council the offer
outlined and considered 1t the best
plan by which to handle the property.
The state executive council has been
advertising for bids for the thirty-nine
acres which the agricultural society
proposed to sell in order to secure the
Redhead tract, but no bids had been
received. The sentiment against sell.
ing the land has been SO strong that
no one has cared 10 offer to buy the
tract. A number of citizens will prob.
ably appear before the council and
argue against the sale of the lands.
Denison On Fraternal Insurance. :.
John D. Denison appeared before
the legislative insurance commission
on the oath. His frankness and his
knowledge of the subject of fraternal
insurance appealed to the commits
sioners, who complimented him highly
on the manner of the presentation of
his views. He believes that the read
justment of rates in fraternal soci-
cites should be left to the organiza.
ton and adverse legislation should be
avoided.
Mr.. Denison explained his view of
the proposed legislation to require
fraternals to adopt a certain mini
mum table of so-called adequate rates.
In this he occupied about the position
taken by Head Clerk Halves of the
Woodmen a few days ago. That is
this: That the rates of fraternals will
need reajjustment to make the soci'
cites certain of permanency; but the
societies themselves will work out the
problem, many of them have done II
already, many of the others are plan
ming it, and all, of course, entertain
the desire and purpose to make them
selves permanent.
Then why not allow the societies
themselves to adjust the rates? Their
officers and members have been study
ing the question. 1t is not new tc
them. by any means. They have thai
personal and intimate interest in II
which will induce proper action al
the proper time.
