MAKE SHERIFFS
CRIME FERRETS
Bill Meets With Opposition in
Senate-House Passes
Measures.

State House. Dies Moines, Ia, Jan.
Ex-senator Copon's bill to require
sheriffs to ferret out crime and to file
information against law violators and
to give sheriffs authority to make in
vestigation of crime and to receive pay
for extra services rendered, met with
some opposition in the senate, and
after discussion was laid over day,
Gilliland thought the bill would be so
comprehensive that there would be
nothing left for constables and police
men to do. and Fradden raised a cues
ton as to whether or not the provision
for payment of expenses of detective
service did not open the way for graft.
The senate passed the bills to limit
time for appeals in criminal cases to.
six months: to increase the pay for
burial of soldiers to $50.
DeWolf introduced "a bill to change
the name of the State Normal school to
the State Teachers College,
The house passed the bill by Army
to furnish ice to the Soldiers Home
officials: the bill by koontz to author
lie the sale of certain church property
i'm Iowa City, and the Hickenlooper bill
to require annual inspection of eNecu-
tive bonds.

Representatives of insurance interests

she will be brought before the commits
