winter over the greater part Of Europe has.

Balkan states, almost everywhere disap-

winter cereals has been pretty generally
efficacious is being demonstrated by the
vigor which the plants in most cases seem
to be responding to the quickening In
fiuences of spring. The report continues:
I'm western Europe the exceptionally cold
winter has probably had no deleterious eff
feet upon Vegetation suficient to effect gem
eral results of the harvest. In central
Europe the growth generally is in a less
advanced state and knowledge Of actual
conditions less positive; the winter wheat
crop OF Germany is known to have suffered
to a quite appreciable extent and recent
news vaguely indicates damage to the
autumn sown crop of Austria and Hungary.
The local reports from Russia scarcely war
rant generalization, but in the specific dis
tricts to which the report relate the crops,
with few exceptions, seem to have wintered

"A characteristic feature OF Vegetation
common this season to most Of the
European states, is backwardness OF

INSURANCE MEN ASK VETO

CFrom a star correspondent.l

DIES MONIES, April 15.--(SpeciaL)-
Insurance men today urged Governor
Cummins to veto the bill limiting the
profits of insurance stock companies. The
bill forbids the payment of dividends in
excess of per cent in any one year. One
of the strongest grounds urged against
the bill is the claim that 1t is uncOnstitu-
tional. l. NJ. Earle, an attorney repre-
senting various insurance interests, APP
peared before the governor this morning
at the time set for hearing and argued
against the bill and urged the governor
to veto it, F. M. Hubben Of the Equitable
of Iowa and Nat Coffin, an attorney for
insurance companies also urged against
the bill. 1t is asserted by the insurance
men that the bill is unfair to the Iowa
companies because It cannot be enforced
against the companies organized outside
of the state. 1t is contended, Furthermore
that the bill will impair contracts by
limiting the capacity of a company to
pay profits on investments made. The
bill has a sliding scale Of restrictions, the
larger companies being limited more than
the smaller ones.

Does Not Relish n Three-Year Term
in the Penitentiary.
You've got lot of sympathy for a
fellow, you have" said Roy Green to
Judge Wheeler as the latter In district
court yesterday morning sentenced him to
three years in the penitentiary for the
theft of an overcoat last February from
the store of the John Beno company.
That will do" commanded the court,
but Green kept muttering some unintelli
gible remarks until Deputy Sheriff Gron.
eweg stepped over to him and told him
to keep still. Green, who up to this point
had been defiant, then resumed his seat
and commenced to weep.
When brought before Judge Wheeler for
sentence Green pleaded hard for a light
sentence and made all sorts of promises
that If the court would be lenient with
him he would try to do better I'm the fu-
ture. He admitted he had never attempted
to earn an honest living and that he had
been convicted of larceny four times in
this state and had served a term in the
Nebraska state penitentiary at Lincoln,
having been committed from Washington
county.
Under the common thief' law the court
could have sentenced Green to seven years
and so informed him
Green is regarded as a dangerous Grim
inal by the authorities and he had been
kept in a separate cell at the county Jail
When Deputy Sheriffs McCarery and
Woolman went to the county Jail to bring
Green into court they were unable to I'M
lock the door to his cell. The lock had
been tempered with, but by whom was
not learned. Green denied having any
hand in 1t and claimed he did not know
that anyone had. 1t was found necessary
to saw the bars on the door in order to
get Green out so that he could be taken
into court.
William Rolph, who was convicted of
breaking and entering Hoages drug store
on Lower Broadway on the night Of Feb
ruary 2, was also sentenced by Judge
Wheeler to three years in the Fort Madl.
son penitentiary.
Prior to the passing of sentence on
Green and Rolph, Judge Wheeler over.
ruled their motions for new trials.

Because of a flaw in the resolution
passed by the legislature Jasper Mason
may not get his pardon from life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. He was
convicted Of murder in Dallas county. The
legislature passed resolution recon-
mending his parole" The statutes do
not say anything about paroles" for life
sentence murders. 1t says that the ap-
plications for "pardons" must be sub
mitted by the governor to the logisla-
ture. The legislature has not recon-
mended a pardon. but a parole. The tech
nicality is more than trivial one ana
there is some question whether the gov
ernor win issue the pardon" which is
what the legislature meant TO give him
II Is believed that the governor will issue
the pardon unless he considers the error
of such grave importance as to make
pardon illegal.
