Sioux City, Feb, 9.-The operations
of the Globe Realty Company, which
extended all over northwest Iowa, will
be fully aired in the federal court, ac-
cording to a decision reached here.
Holding that the allegations in the
indictment charges a crime, Judge
Henry T. Reed. of the United States
circuit court overruled the demurrer
Indictment charge crime, Judge
jury charging William C. Smith with
using the mails to defraud. Smith is
said to have been the proprietor of the
Globe Realty Company.
BY the decision the Indictment
against Smith is declared legal and he
will be tried at the May term of the
circuit court, overruled the demurrer
turned against him on May 20, 1908, on
information filed by F. F. F'aville, dis
trict attorney. Immediately a demurrer
main point being that the allegations
did not charge crime.
About year ago the government be-
gan investigating Smith, which re-
suited in his being arrested and taken
before A o. Wakefield, United States
commissioner. on March ~. 1908. He
was then held to the action of the fed
eral grand jury under a $1,000 bond.
He is said to have defrauded many
by his scheme and that he used the
mails in his operations. He is charged
with issuing ambiguous contracts pur-
ported to be for the handling, selling
and advertising Of property. 1t is said
that the proposition was that when the
property was sold he was to receive
per cent of the selling price for his
services.
Under the contract, it is stated the
signer agreed TO pay this l per cent,
being led to believe that this was his
commission 1t is said that upon read
ing the contract it was apparent that
the money was not to be paid until the
sale had closed and that If there was
no sale there was no expense.

Des Moines, Feb. 9-The influence
of the administration is being thrown
quietly against the law enforcement
bills before the legislature on the
ground that they might involve the
party i'll trouble. The two senate bills
relating to@the sheriffs and attorneys
are held: up in house committee and
it Isl belfeved they will not, at least for
some time, see the light of day. The
senate will Enthusiastically pass over
to the house the bill giving in a very
much modified form some sort of au-
.thority to the governor to see to the
enforcement OF the laws Of the state,
and ii, is possible the senate will also
pass the bill broadening the work of
the attorney general. An argument
that has made it's appearance against
the main enforcement bill is being
used with the democrats. 1t is repre-
scented that this is a vile scheme on
the part of the plotting republicans to
open the way for the removal Of the
democratic sheriffs and county attor-
neys and to have the governor fill their
places with republicans. 1t is said
few of them will .be caught by this
argument. An argument used with re-
publicans is that it is a plot against
the republican party, because it will
enable the democrats all over the state
to raise so much trouble about Off
Gals who do not do their duty that
the republican administration of state
affairs will be at once discredited. The
two arguments have not as yet collid-
ed, but both are being used. Senator
Cosson had a great deal to do with
trying to secure law enforcement in
Iowa last year, and he is the sole au-
thor of the various bills. He insists
that if the power of removal is lodged
somewhere it will practically never
have to be exercised, as the very fact
of such power existing will put all
on their guard so they will
tage care not to violate their oaths.l
A bill introduced yesterday in the
house may make some trouble. 1t is
the bill which would change the clos
ing hour of saloons all over Iowa
from 10 10 8 O'clock. The temperance
committee of the house is so consti-
tuted that it would seem this bill is
certain to be reported out on the floor
of the house. There are some other
bills which also come out for discus
sion and an informal canvass of the
house would indicate that there is al
most certainty the prohibitory amend
ment resolution will pass.
