SUPERVISORS INVESTIGATED.
Report Shows That Things Have
Not Been Going Right.

Davenrort-Expert accountants
who have been examining the books
OF the former board of supervisors
of Scott county on the charge that
they INDUCED in grating have pre-.
scented their report. The report Is
very uncomplimentary to the county
officers under the past administra'
ton. The report says while no
graft" was disclosed, the methods
employed invited dishonesty and also
gave means OF concealing 1t.
1.-THE fact that data at our disposal
did not disclose any direct indica.
lions of graft does not by any means
preclude the possibility of a perpetra.
ton Of the offepse," says the report.
The various past county officers are
charged with carelessness and lax.
ness in their methods. The former
county auditor is charged with illeg-
ally issuing warrants and the former
sheriff with illegally retaining fees.
Various others Irregularities are
charged.

CUNNING CASE DISMISSED.
Prosecution 10 Compelled to Let M
AYR Banker Go.

Prosecution 10 Compelled to Let NJ
Ayr Banker Go.
Osceo!a.--With the dismissal OF al.
indictments against him Day Cumming
was set free forever for the wreck
Ing of the Mount Ayr bank three years
ago. The prosecution moved to dis.
miss the case because Patterson, the
assignee. refused to come from Mis-
sorri to testify on the ground, 1t is
said, OF is personal friendship to the
indicted banker. The action OF the
state was anticipated somewhat be-
cause 1t was noised abroad few days
ago that Patterson would not come.
This action ENDS for all time PRO-
secu. ion Of Dunning for the failure
Of the bank which collapsed January
1904, and which paid about ~ Genus
on the collar.
The statute OF limitations now
covers the case fully, the three years
specified being up in January OF this
year., Dunning, 1t will be remem-
tered, was being tried this time as IN
December on indictments drawn In
September Of 1905. .s.
Dunning was first tried in Mount
Ayr in April, 1904. A jury found him
guilty of accepting deposits when II
was known that the hank was insoi'
vent. His attorneys appealed to the
supreme court. who reversed the case
on an error OF law. Then a change OF
venue was taken to Clarke county,
where the second trial occurred last
December. This time the jury freed
Dunning. Other indictments hung
over him, however. and the third trial
was recently begun in Osceola. HIS
lawyers set forth motions to quash the
indictment, but were overrMed.
Then the state met with refusal from
Patterson, which was followed by
the ending of the case.

tary Birreli.

London. The Irish bill was in.
troduced in the house of commons
Tuesday by the chief secretary for
ireland. Mr.. Birrell. The introduc.
ton of this measure had been antici.
pated with the keenest interest, as 1t
presents in a new form the long-drawn'
out struggle of Ireland for self-gov'
eminent. In anticipation of the event
the house of commons was crowded
the Hobbies and galleries being filled
with the conspicuous figures in the
irish movement. The bill had been
drafted by Mr.. Birrell, who succeeded
Mr.. Bryce, on the latter's recent ap'
pointment as ambassador at Washing
ton and to some extent followed the
lines of the measure which Mr.. Bryce
had tentatively framed for Ireland.
Prior to the appearance Of the meas.

ireland and the general public the bill
ls the Irish BILL" with home rule pre-
sented In such new and modified form
as to enlist the support of the ele'
ments hitherto hostile.
/ Mr.. Birrell's explanation of the new
bill was received with deep interest
and unwavering attention. Its terms
had been kept secret except to a few
II the foremost Irish leaders, 80 that
all alike were on the tiptoe of ex'
pectancy In regard to the measure.
The bill does not give complete
home rule, nor has it been the purpose
OF the government to grant Ireland
complete self rule at single stroke
On the contrary, as Mr.. Birrell ex.
planned, the governments measure is
but q stepping.stone; it Is at least
some measure of self rule for Ireland
over Irish affairs, and this much &C
complished 1t gives some promise OF
the ultimate realization of complete
home rule. 1t remains to be seen
whether Ireland and the Irish leaders
will accept the measure as sufficient
realization Of their hopes for home
rule. 4" -
