victim during the operation of the
gang in Council Bluffs.
Tlis mans testimony before the
grand jury is reported to have been
highly sensational and it is rumored
that an effort is now being MADE to
secure the testimony of other witness
es in sufficient number to corroborate
the statement of this "steerer,' so that
when the Maybray trial is called there
will be whole volume of evidence to
show the magnitude of the alleged con-
spiracy and the extensive use of the
postoffice in carrying on the opera
tions of the syndicate as charged in
the indictment against Maybray and
the eighty-four others.
That the government officials be-
lieve they have sufficient evidence
against the gang, aside from whatever
may be brought out by "steerers,"
whom 1t is said are to turn states evil
dence, and that they are taking no
chance with the "steerers" themselves
is SHOWN in that it is said that even
these "steerers'' have been indicted
along with Maybray.

OFFICIALS DIFFER
OVER NEW TAX LAW
Auditor Bieakly Fears for lowa's In
surance Business-Hayward
Demands Fees.

If Iowa's new foreign corporation
law is properly construed by Secre-
tary of State Hayward 1t may result
in demoralizing the insurance of the
state. At least such is the gloomy
view of the situation taken by Audi,
tor of State Bleakly
Mr.. Hayward holds that all foreign
insurance companies must secure a
permit from his office in order to do
business in Iowa and pay filing fee
of s25 for the first $4,000 of their
capital stock and one dollar for each
additional thousand. Most of the 223
foreign companies operating in Iowa
have never paid this fee, and under
the ruling Of the secretary of state are
also subject to penalty of 500 day
since the law went into effect.
Auditor Bleaklv contends that a GER
tificate from his office is all the author
ity foreign insurance companies need
to do business in Iowa. For this they

Three or four men who acted as
"steerers'' for the alleged swindle syn
dictate and who are among the eighty
four indicted with Maybray by the fed
eral grand jury here last week, will, it
is stated, turn states evidence at the
coming trial and cough up" the whole
proceedings of the gang, or at least
that Of 1t in which they took part
1t is said that the system by which
the gang operated is to be brought out.
The evidence, it is stated, will show
how the gang first got its eye on
prospective victim, how the "steerer"
succeeded in drawing him on, how the
gang finally got hold of him, and how
he was fleeced. Furthermore, it is
stated, the evidence will show how the
gang operated for its own protection,
how the athletic contests were ar
ranged; in fact, it is stated, that every
move of the gang from its first inecp-
ton until its dissolution will be
brought out and testimony of high
ly sensational nature will mark the
case as one of the greatest and most
far reaching criminal operations the
country has ever known.

The persistent investigation of the
government postal inspectors into the
manipulations of the gang and the evil
dent intention of the federal authori-
ties to prosecute to the fullest extent
those WHO are said to have assisted in
the swindling of the 100 or more

ing these "steerers" into the desire to
tell all they know, to plead guilty 70

leniency.

They Know.

everything they know about the meth

paper says:
If reports now being circulated come
true the trial of John G. Maybray in
this city on Dec. will bring to light
the whole inside story of the alleged
"swindle syndicate and lay bare 20
