BOARD OF PAROLE
TO MEET IN JUNE
Special Session Called to Consider
Twelve Murder Cases Which
Legislature Referred
to Board.

A special session of the state board
of parole will be held in June to dis.
pose of the twelve murder cases which
the last legislature bequeathed to the
board of parole. Under the old law
the legislature recommended pardons
for murder in the first degree directly
to the governor Under the new law,
passed last winter, this power is trans
ferred to the board of pardon.
All twelve cases are for murder in
the first degree and all men were
sentenced for life.
But three cases are of state wide
notoriety Of these the Albert Par
nitzke case from Van Buren, county at
tracted most attention. He has serv-
ed twenty years. When nineteen years
old he shot and killed James Warner,
the father of his sweetheart Orville
Warner. He also tried to kill her
and her brother.
The other cases are the Haley and
Robards cases from Dubuque county,
The men shot and killed Policeman
Firth of Dubuque. Robards has been
in confinement since 1893 and Haley
since 1894.
Many efforts have been made to get
these two men pardoned, but Alder
man Firth of Dubuque, brother OF
the murdered officer, has successfully
resisted each plea for a pardon.

POWER TO TAX THE
ITINERANTS BROADER
May Still be ltlnerants Even Though
Parties are Located In City,
Says Supreme Court.

The supreme court has defined the
term transient merchant" so that
hereafter city and town councils can
have no trouble in ascertaining what
merchants can be compelled to pay
an itinerant merchants license.
The case has an interesting feature
in that while the court reversed the
Judgment of the lower court, the
lower courts Judgment must stand,
so far as the results of the trial are
concerned.
The case was that Of the town of
Scranton against Lewis Henson and
]. L. Black, accused of being itineran.
merchants and selling goods without
obtaining license provided for in the
town council.
They were convicted by the mayor,
but appealed to the district court
which acquitted them. The supreme
court reversed the district court as to
its propositions of law, but as the Of
Tense was semi-criminal the results
of the acquittal cannot be changed.
hO SOulL, dGlulu6 dill
merchant uses the following langu-
age:
Three things must be considered.
First, the kind of business; second,
the place where it is conducted; third,
the duration or intended duration
thereof. If the business was or was
not intended to be Intermittent in
character and not permanent, then
the seller is an itinerant vender and
not permanent tradesman. And it
makes no difference that he has his
residence in the city or town where
he offers the goods for SALE"
The ruling is important as 1t settles
the question of whether man living
in city can buy stock of bankrupt
or other kind of goods, open store
for a sixty-day sale and then quit the
business and yet escape the license
tax which many cities and towns
place on itinerant merchants.

the jury in the case.
Brandenberger' defense was that
he was unconscious when he shot
down Schranz He declared that fol-
lowing a quarrel over the possession
of salt shaker that Schranz beat him
up and SO battered him that he lay
unconscious.
The states evidence was that fol-
lowing this quarrel, Brandenberger
came out of the house in which the
two lived and fired two shots from a
shotgun into the body of Schranz.
On the witness stand Brandeberger
declared he had no recollection of the
shooting of Schranz. In instructing
the jury Judge Benson said that it
was up to the defendant to prove con-
clusively that he wac unconscious.
The high court declares this to be an
error warranting a reversal in the
case, because the court should have
instructed the jury that it was only
necessary for the defendant to pro-
duce a preponderance of evidence to
the effect that he was unconscious.

Or. John p. corley of Alabama, Says
Too Little Is Spent to Preserve
the Teeth.

Des Moines, generally, and her
school board and city commission
especially, were severely arraigned at.
the meeting of the Iowa State Dental
society held in Des Moines In an adj
dress by DR.. John p Corley of Green's
boro, Ala. He quoted statistics show
ing that the school board spends over
100000 annually or over SAG per
capita for the education of the chill
dren and only $4,000 or 13 per cents
per capita to see that they are kept
healthy.
at the same time the city COM
mission spends $4,000 annually or
s157 per capita for fire protection,
DR.. Corley said. and the hospitals of
the city cost s25o,ooo a year to operate.
They take sick people and try to nurse
them back to health again. 1t is a
shame that so much Is spent to cure
sick people and so little to keep them
