Attorney General scores Judge.
A case will be submitted 10 the supreme
wolves the question of whether or not it is
obtaining money under false pretenses for
a man to borrow money from woman on
the promise that as soon as he is estab-
lshed in business by the aid OF her funds,
they will get married, IL he failed to marry
her. In the Polk county district court
Judge w. II. ;McHenry sustained a demurrer
to indictment in the case of the state
sgainst ]. w. Hollingsworth the demurrer
being on the ground that the facts stated
did not constitute the offense OF obtaining
money under false pretenses and further
that the facts. IL true. did not constitute an
offense punishable by law.
In the argument of the attorney general
| filed with the clerk of the supreme court
| it is claimed, In substance. that such rul-
ings are one OF the reasons why the ad-
ministration Of justice at times falls into
| illrepute. ,,a..s
l Hollingsworth was indicted by the Poll
county district court two years ago. The
charge against him was that he induced
Mrs. Vella W. lockwood, widow of Des
Moines, living at 600 East Grand avenue
to part with $500 Of her money on a promise
of marriage. IL was charged on the part
of the state that Hollingsworth was mar
ried to another woman three days before
he obtained the money from Mrs Rock.
wood, or on June %. 1903. and that he pre-
tended that he would go to Sioux Falls
South Dakota. and establish himself In
business by use OF the Widows money and
that they would then get married. the
wedding day being set for July 15. 1903.
Statistics on Truancy.
The statistics on truancy in the state OF
Iowa, that will make up one of the main
features of the report of State Superin-
tendent Riggs. which is now being pre-
pared, show that in large number of i'm.
stances the fact that a child is truant is
to be laid TO the door of the parents This
is a surprise to many educators Of the
state, and in a surprising number of cases
the school officials have had to resort t.
Furnishing the parents by imprisonment be-
fore they could induce them TO obey the
law and allow the children to attend school
The reports now are nearly all in. The
county and city superintendents have beer
asked to file reports for this feature of the
report. The county superintendents give
the results OF the prosecutions in all the
schools OF the county. and the city superin-
tendents are asked especially concerning
the law In the city, both as to the compul-
sorry attendance law and the child labor
law The main feature OF the comments OF
the superlntendents and principals is that
the law has worked TO cause pupils who
had a tendency TO be irregular in their at
a tendance to be regular. One of the ques-
tons asked by the state superintendent is
whether the law for compulsory attendance
is operating to make the required sixteen
weeks attendance a sort of standard length
Of attendance, after which the bulk Of the
scholars would drop out The responses
all are thus far that it does not have that
tendency.
Summer school at Ames.
Alumni and friends OF the State AgricuI.
tural college at Ames are working up SEN
timent in favor OF a summer school al
Ames. The argument Is being advanced
that since the legisls ture has made appro.
priations for summer schools at the State
university and at the State normal. It is
no more than right that It should do the
same at Ames. Another argument Is that
since the state has the expensive invest
ment already made il should utilize il the
year round and not let Il stand idle three
months in the year. especially the three
months when agricultural education by
actual experience could be best given
Some Of the professors OF the institution
have been approached and have, in add
ton To favoring the move, offered to give
their time for the summer months free OF
extra charge.
New Method OF Fighting thrust
a new method OF fighting the trust grain
elevators has been discovered by the farm
ers. assisted by thrifty inventor Within
the last year or two a portable grain ele-
vator for use on the farm has been in
vented and farmers use # for the saving
OF time. The same contrivance has nov
been improved upon so as to station il
alongside OF a car on switch track Sew
eral farmers purchase one IN partnership
They order a grain car for a certain day
and their combined granaries will MI tbs
