Des Moines, June 2.-The state vet
erinarian, Paul koto, is preparing for
an active campaign over Iowa this
summer to eliminate diseased cattle
and hogs. The TACT that large num-
Der OF the cattle tested recently on the
state farm at Independence We're in
fected with tuberculosis gives evidence
that there is a great deal of infection
thruout the state. An effort will be
made to stamp out all infected ami
mails. That cattle have been shipped
into Iowa from other states when they
were infected is known and this makes
Hogs have been dying thruout some
sections of the state suddenly and
without apparent cause. These deaths
Will be investigated. DR.. koto will have
his deputies on the sharp lookout for
tubercular cattle especially. and every
deputy is directed 10 contine himself
demning COWS.
At the state bar association meeting
this year there will probably be a re-
newal of the discussion of giving coun-
" attorneys the power to bring ac-
cused men to trial in district court on
Information filed by them instead of
awaiting the necessary grand jury in
,iictilIeir5. TfI5Te has been much com
plant of recent years on the delay of
the courts after a crime has been COM
mirred. Many urge that this method
would in cases where there was no
great mystery bring about speedy
trial and settlement. The county at
torney now has power 10 dismiss an
Indictment returned by the grand jury
when in his judgment he can not Sc
cure a conviction and 1t is claimed by
4 some that having this power ne Should
also have the right to file an indict-
ment when he believes he mas suf-
;ieient evidence 10 warrant a convic-
ton. Many favor this system who do
not favor total abolition OF the grand
jury system.
An interesting feature at the Gotch-
Jenkins wrestling match which has
been finally SET for June II at the
stock pavilion in the state fair
grounds will be the taking OF moving
I pictures of the bout. The privilege has
been let 10 a Kansas City firm. Arti-
fetal lights will be necessary for this.
Great arc lights will be placed over
the mat 10 give sufficient light This
will assure the audience plenty of
light on the subject This is the first
match since his encounter with Hack
enschnidt that Gotch has consented 10
moving pictures.
Delay of the board Of control IN an
aouncing its determination with regard
to the charges against Superintendent
Fitzgerald OF the girls reform school
at Mitchellville is cause for continued
discussion turnout the state in the
press as TO the advisabiiity OF having
woman at the head of the institu-
ton. Il is said there are mem ers of
the board who are opposed to a woman
as superintendent on the ground that
she could not maintain the discipline
necessary Superintendent Fitzgerald
has said he will not resign. Should
the board decide to make a change In
the head of the institution it is very
probable man viii be selected to sue
ceed MT. fitzgerald.
AS yet the board has made no selec-
ton OF successor Tor Mr. Vance who
mas just resigned as superintendent of
