Record Population at Reformatory

Anamosa, Iowa, Nov. 9.-The count
at the Iowa reformatory registered $40
this week, the highest in its history.
The number coming in now far exceeds
the mum Der going out. Warden Barr
says that about thirty-five have been
paroled by the board of parole at its
last session and these will be discharg.
ed a. soon a. they can secure suitable
employment. The discharge list by
expiration for November is compara-
lively large. Twelve or thirteen will
be disch arged during the month under
expiration of their sentence.
The new parole law, contrary to the
information given out by some of its
opponents has tendency to lengthen
the time of sentences rather than di-
minlsh the time. Warden Barr was
always an advocate of the indetermi-
nate sentence law and is satisfied with
the workings of it so far as it has been
put into use.

Wcodmen Circle All o. K.

Several newspaper in Iowa and Min
nesota have published misleading state
ments regarding an investigation of
the affairs Of the Woodmen Circle, a
fraternal insurance society which has
large and fourishing Grove in Cresco.
The investigation was made at the in
stigation of a former head officer of
the order who was discredited and de-
posed from Office at the last Sovereign
Grove convention and who preferred
charges against Mrs. Manchester, the
head of the order, before the insurance
commissioners of the of the states in
which the order is doing business. By
common consent of the commissioners,
those of Iowa and Nebraska were
chosen to make this investigation and
their report, dated Nov. End, substan-
tiates some of the charges preferred,
but which were for minor infractions
of the laws of the order and for the
assumption by Mrs. Manchester and
the attorney general of the order
of more authority than is legally
theirs. but nothing against the sound
ness of the order or any trace of mis-
appropriation of the mortuary funds
of the order is found in the report.
The commissioners, Bleakley and
Barton, concludes their report on the
Woodmen Circle with the following
paragraph:
We are pleased to note the excellent
condition, numerically and financially,
of your organization. We desire most
emphatically to say to the membership
that nothing in our investigation
should reflect upon their standing or
the soundness of their order. Attacks
may be made upon the Order by rival
bodies using this investigation to dis
satisfy your membership. thereby hop
ing to increase their own members at
the EXP ense of yours. There is not
one intelligent reason why the men,
bership should not stand loyalty by
their own Organization. as these rec
concentrations. if honestly and faith
fully followed, will only make the Or
ganization stronger and better than
ever before. Not in one single in.
stance have we found that the mortu-
ary funds have been misapplied or
used for any other purpose than that
designated by law.
Respectfully yours,
S1LAs P. BARTON,
Auditor of Public Accounts for the
State of Nebraska.
JOHN L. BLEAKLY,
Auditor of State for the State of
Iowa.
