v,olaters Of Law VIII Find II Harder
to Escape il Statewide
Plan is Carried
Out.
KEoKUK TO GET SERVICE
i legislature VIII be Asked to Appro.
priation to Stand Expenses of
Proposed Service In
Iowa.

Police chiefs OF Iowa in recent con.
yention at Des Moines decided to at
tempt to secure an appropriation to
establish an identification bureau for
the purpose of more quickly securing
information relating to persons ar
rested who are suspected of being
habitual criminals.
This system would prove of the ut
most value in its interchange of
facts relating to crooks It is pro-
posed to establish headquarters at
the state capital, where sheriffs and
police officers may secure informa-
ton that will identity criminals.
Every large city has bureau of
description and there is ma
tional bureau at Washington. The
leading detective agencies are also
/ equipped for the purpose, but state
wide bureau is an innovation, and
Iowa will secure deserved credit il
the plan is inaugurated.
1t often. happens that man is ar
Crested for some minor crime and he
| may be wanted very badly elsewhere
for more serious offense. With tho
bureau Of Identification in operation
the records of vicious criminals may
| be obtained and filed away FOR future
use.
j. appears the police chiefs also de-
sire to do away with the law requir-
| ing trial before the city council of
officials who are charged with malad-
| ministration. This law applies to
cities where the commission form of
government is in effect The chiefs
| will make an effort to have the legis-
lature amend the law so that the old
civil service system may be in effect.
The officers favor the old time civil
service commission, to which they
were responsible, for their deeds
and misdeeds That system, accord
| ing to Capt. A. G. Miller of Des
| Moines, who suggested it's renewal,
eliminates the possibility of an limo,
Ecent man 5 character being besmirch-
ed by a public trial on charges
brought against him by political and
| personal enemies.
"A council may exonerate. man, "
said Capt. Miller, "but his name is
sdisgraced. He cannot wipe it out. 1t
should be our aim to make the posi-
ton of chief of police one to be de,
sired and not position which any
man with sense of decency or self
respect shuns."

DENVER, Colo Aug. S0.-When
the Roosevelt train pulled out Of Den
yer for Peublo today, the colonel
had determined to discuss the CON
stitution adopted by the new states.
Pueblo is the nearest point to the
two states that he will reach. He ex-
pected to argue in favor OF ar-elas-
tic and easily amended constitution
for each state.
The colonel was expected to say
that the constitution should be pro-
gressive throughout. LIE has said in
private that "a dead hand should
not be laid on new state"

Daily Grain Letter.

Weaker foreign markets, worlds sta
tistics and a bearish domestic situa-
ton was too much for bulls to digest.
Fact is there appears to be no one
who is willing to shoulder the load
of hedging sales and in view of al
ready large visible it is doubtful
whether anyone cares to attempt it.
Northwestern elevator houses hav-
ing line elevator reported heavy pur-
chases which also will have to be
hedged and with falling off of ex-
port inquiry we can see little to en-
courage investment purchases. We
believe sales of December will re-
turn good profits
Corn Small terminal stocks and
an oversold market caused rally
early but with increasing receipts
and prospect of large run tomorrow
prices sagged, the September going
to a discount under May future. Off
cial forecast for colder weather and
possibly frost in western range pre-
vented much pressure from bear
Ecrowd. With light contract stocks
and possibilities of frost scares we
believe purchases are warranted for
quicq scalping profits, or until such
| time as crop is out of danger from
frost
Oats Heavy reflecting heavy
hedging sales of big stocks accumu-
lated and heavy receipts. Bull market
unlikely until stocks should have
been reduced. Advise sales on all
hard spots.
Market firm and
higher with packers and stock yards
people best buyers. We cannot ex-
pect much decline until receipts
show signs of increasing.
Sample Markets-contract grades
in good demand with premiums over
September maintained. Some eleva-
4 tors getting crowded and will handle
only best grades. Hard spring wheat
wanted by millers, but mixed and
soft slow sale. Corn unchanged to lie
lower, majority sales IL to SAC low
er, poor eastern demand with pros
pect of heavier receipts. Oats
steady to lie lower. Shippers bought
a little early but were soon filed up

Men Get Concessions in Parks With
out Even Submitting Bids.

81 don't see why bids should be
asked for the contracts for conces-
sions in the parks said Park Com
missioner Hurlbut, Friday.
Tho commissioner Informed tie
council Tuesday evening, that he had
awarded the most important five con
cessions at the old rates. Nothing
had been known about 1T before. The
commissioner did not even mention
il to the newspaper men who asked
Tor the days news OF his Office. Among
other things, the canoe privilege was
let for two years for $4,000 a year.
Charles j. Molitor, Of No. 600 Ker'
cheval.ave., attempted afterward TO
secure the concession at $4,000 year,
but found out that the matter was
closed. the city losing $4,000.
The charter gives the commissioners
power to let the contracts. and says
nothing about confirmation by the
council.
IF we opened the concessions to
bids, we might have "a lot OF undesir-
able Concessionaires. whom Ii would
be impossible to keep track or said
the commissioner. II asked Corpora.
