HOUSE PROBING COMMITTEE RE.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, March 15.-The Iowa
state hospitals are scheduled for con-
delnnation as places unfit for the care
OF the patients sent there for relief of
mental disorders. 1t has already been
decided that something must come Of
this one, at least, of the many scandal
seeking movements started by the leg
islature or by the trouble makers Of
the day.
The Investigation by committee Of
the house will probably take three or
four days or perhaps week Of such
time as the representatives may be
able to spare from duty in the house.
In that time it is expected that some
evidence will be secured upon which
to base the accusation against the state
of Iowa as to bad management of state
institutions. The committee last week
secured thru the state ,board of con-
troll the material ON which to work.
1t consisted of the addresses and
names Of those employees of the four
state hospitals who have been dis
charged, also the. names OF patients
who have been returned to their homes
and the names Of those that have died
people, especially from the former en-
ployes who have been let out, 1t Is
planned to secure the information to
sustain the Indictment.
All Ready to Condemn.
AS matter Of fact the committee
has already decided upon its report.
One of. the members has talked freely
and has stated that the committee will
condemn the management Of the In
situations in severe terms.
The investigation, it is supposed. will
be conducted in secret. The members
Of the board Of control have received
no information as to what is being
done, other than that the secretary
was requested to secure the names
OF discharged employees and others as
Indicated. The board has always in
vestigated accusations against nurses
and attendants and has been compelled
to discharge q great many for incom-
potency and for cruelty. 1t Is the invar-
liable rule that where an attendant
fails to treat patients with the great
est Of care and consideration she Is
imm ediately discharged. As there are
over 1,4OO employees at the state insti-
buttons the board and the ssuperintend-
ents have difficulty in finding suitable
persons to fill all the places.
: The committee Is strictly a house
as the senate refused early
in the session to engage in the prob
Ing business for political purposes. It
is expected the report Of the house
committee will be in about the time Of
the appointment for the place on the
board Of control, which latter is being
held back pending the report.

MOVE FOR SOCIETY CAPITAL.
Mrs. Taft Would Have Washington
Real Pivot of American Social Life.


Real Pivot Of American Social Life.
Mrs William III. Taft has an ambi-
ton to inaugurate movement which
will make Washington the social cen
ter Of the United States. She holds
widely divergent views from several
Of her predecessors, especially Mrs.
Roosevelt, who maintained that the
White House was the private home CT
the presidents family.
1.-The wife Of the president, while she
has no position in the strictly official
sense of the word" said Mrs. Taft.
nevertheless has obligations as the
hostess of the nation which she can
not overlook or shirk. That is my idea,
although it has not been that of my
predecessors.
New York is looked upon in foreign
centers as expressing the best in
American social life, but there are
many delightful, cultivated hostesses-
wives Of senators, officials and others
who because of the beauty of Wash
ington make it their home great part
of the year. These include people from
all parts OF the west, north and south,
who are unknown to New York and
whose names are not counted among
the -Four Hundred. New York, in fact,
has usurped the social laurels Of our
country, and, Europe has grown into
the habit Of looking upon the great
port Of entry Of the Atlantic as repre-
senting all that there is in America Of
the highest social life.
ut seems to me that geographically
and logically Washington should be the
representative social city Of the land.

try's official and diplomatic life, and

Per Cent.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 5.-(Special
Telegram.) .)-The state Board of Railroad
commissioners held a meeting for the pur-
pose of informally adopting a new sched-
ule of express rates for South Dakota.
Recent meetings held by the board paved
the way for the presentation today of new
schedules. which were prepared with a
view to fully complying with an act OF the
legislature last winter which required the
railroad commissioners to put into effect
July / a new schedule OF express rates
which should be a reduction of 20 per cent
from the rates in effect January /.
The new schedule presented to the board
was carefully examined and upon being
found to fully comply with the new law,
was informally adopted. Formal action on
the new schedule cannot be taken by the
board until the new law goes into effect
July l.
Accordingly the new board decided to
hold an adjourned meeting on Friday,
July 2, at which time formal action will
be taken on the adoption Of the reduced
schedule of express rates.
1t was desired that the new schedule
should be formally adopted so the express
companies can have it printed and in the
hands of their agents in South Dakota at
the time the new law goes into effect at
midnight next Wednesday night.
