INCREASE IN COST OF CREAM
Larger Demand and Decreased
supply Given as the
Reason.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-That the cost
OF milk and particularly cream has adj
vanced enormously since 1900 as the result
of the curtailment OF supply to the factor
les and the increasing market in the large
cities Is Indicated in a census bulletin issued
today relative to the manufacture Of butter.
cheese. condensed milk. -four and grist mill
products and starch. for 1896. A substantial
increase in the manufacture Of all these
products Is shown since 1900 except starch,
which declined markedly Cost OF cream
increased 247.9 per cent and milk 81 per
cent
According to the statement there were
s.s62 establishments engaged in the butter.
cheese and condensed milk industry in 1906,
aggregating a capital of ST. .25556s, employ
ing 1857 wage earners who received S, a.
gs7 in wages. With the exception of a num-
Der Of establishments. all OF these items
show increase since 1900. that in value of
products amounting to 81. S99, 40. represent
ing an Increase OF 2S.6 per cent or over
one-fourth-
The decrease in the number Of establish
ments was principally due to the consolida-
ton or absorption of smaller creameries
into larger plants. The hand separator
which enables the farmer to separate his
own cream was a prominent factor in this
tendency to Capitalization. enabling easier
hauling and making IL possible for a single
creamery TO obtain its supply from a wide
territory As result the larger plants, In
which butter was manufactured at less ex-
uense. gradually crowded out or absorbed
smaller plants.

lions of Foreign Commerce OF

WASHINGTON, Feb 24-The leather In

earlier. These figures. announced by the
bureau of statistics OF the Department OF
Commerce and Labor today. combine i'm
ports and exports OF leather and its manu-
features and imports and exports OF hides
and skins The value of hides and skins
imported in the calendar year 1895 was
practically Ss4.00O.OOO. having qus6rupled in
ten years. OF leather and its manufactures
exported. the figures for 1906 were over

except when the court. on the entire case
presented. Is satisfied there IL a reason
able doubt OF the guilt Of the defendant"
As reaching the same thing IN little
different form. the same senator has In
troduced this.
In the consideration OF appealed criminal
cases By the supreme court OF Iowa tech
rors IN rulings and decisions OF the lower
court shall be considered preiudicial only
when they In the opinion Of the supreme
court have caused an erroneous Judgment
against the defendant. No case shall be
reversed except when. upon the whole case
presented, the court Is satisfied that sub
stantial justice Is not accomplished
Representative swift has introduced an
other reform bill as follows;
The mode Of reviewing in the supreme
court any Judgment, action OF decision or
the district court in a criminal case Is
from the final Judgment. and within one
year thereafter. and then only when the
offense charged Is greater than misde-
appeal
Representative Clary has a bill in ref
erence to granting new trials in criminal
cases. providing for new trials when after
the trial there has been newly discovered
evidence material for the defendant. which
he could not with reasonable diligence have
discovered and produced at the trial"
Another bill by Mr.. Swift raises the
limit necessary for an appeal in civil cases
from 500 to 500 and making appeals neces-
sary in six months.
Some of these bills are favored by At
torney General Byers who is strongly in
favor Of a general reform in court practice
that will expedite the WORK of the courts
and lessen the arduous labors of the SUI
preme court. The fact is that most Of the
district judges are quite as competent as
the supreme Judges to decide fairly all
matters affecting misdemesnors and there
is no reason why these and other petty
cases should be piled up on the supreme
judges. The supreme court Is burdened
with work. not OF an important kind. but
of little importance. and the desire is to
relieve Il OF as much as possible.

pareil company claims to have fled an
acceptance OF the contract before the board

secured from Judge Snyder of the superior
court a temporary Injunction restraining
the Board OF Supervisors from entering into

For several years the Board Of Super
visors had awarded this contract TO the
New Nonpareii company without inviting
bids from other firms and at the same
prices as prevailed the year previous. In
vestigation by a committee from the Board
OF Supervisors disclosed the fact that the

considerably less. and before the board
nj In January there was an understanding

RECORDER ENTERTAINERS IN FEES
Admits the Fact. but say. IL Has Been


Custom.
The report Of the committee appointed
by the Board OF Supervisors which checked
up the ONCE OF the county recorder, IL is
said, will be productive OF further devel-
opments and II was intimated yesterday by
a county official that II was not unlikely
that the whole matter might be laid before
the next district grand jury.
The county supervisors. after hearing the
report OF the checking committee and from
the county recorder himself. decided that
further examination Of the books of
Recorder Baird should be made and the
committee was ordered to do 80.
Recorder Baird, when called before the
Board OF Supervisors Saturday, was forced
TO admit that he had been charging filing
fees in excess OF what the law provided
In doing so. he said in seIf-defense. that
he had only been following the practice OF
his predecessors. For instance. the re-
corder's original book Of entry" which
ne was required to produce before the
board but which he had refused TO furnish
the checking committee showed that for
recording chattel mortgages he had in
variably charged 70 cents an instrument
while the regular fee was only 70 cents.
and il was the latter amount which was
entered on the book furnished the check
ing committee, and turned over to the
county.
When the board found this condition ex-
isting in the office OF the county recorder
Il directed the checking COMMITTEES 70 make
another examination of the books and as
certain the exact amount which Recorder
Baird during the two years of his first
term had overcharged for the ding Of in
struments and report back TO the board
To the board Ar. Baird stated he was
perfectly willing to turn over to the
county whatever amount the checking com
mittee might find had been collected by
him in excess OF the statutory fee
County Treasurer Mitchell when In
formed OF the action Of the board. said:
Il cannot see that the county has any
right to this money. The county is only
entitled to the regular filing fees as pro-
! vided by law. The money by right be-
| longs to those persons who have been over
charged by Recorder Baird and restitution
should be made to them and not to the
county. OF course. the individual amounts
are small. but nevertheless a list should
be made by the checking committee and
when this money is turned into the county
treasurer. those who have been overcharged
| by Recorder Baird can then recover what
! they have overpaid. by a warrant from the
office OF the county auditor with whom this

II had been an open secret for several

radical change in the system Of bookkeep-

Baird is now serving his second term, hav-
