ONLY 6OVETERANS
AT THE HOME.
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
MAKES REPORTER RANNlsTER
TELLS OF OPTIMISM.

Des Moines, May 6.-There are
fewer old soldiers in the Iowa Soldiers
home at Marshalltown than ever
BEFORE
This is the report which the mem
bers of the state board of control bring
back to Des Moines after their semi.
annual visit to that institution.
They believe that this remarkable
decrease in the number of veterans
being cared for by the state is due
rather to the increase in pensions
which have been received than to the
depletion of their rank by death.
There are now about six hundred
veterans at the home," said Chairman
Robinson, whereas there is unually
about nine hundred year in and year
out. The veterans have received in
creases in pensions and have been
given furloughs. Death, of course, is
depicting their ranks, but that is not
the prime cause for the depletion OF
the ranks in the home"
Dr. Bannister Of the board, speak
ing of the optimism of the veterans,
tells this story of conversation he
had there this week.
II was talking with very old man
who was working about the place."
said DR.. Bannister. "He complained
that three of the men, to whom he
pointed, were getting old He told me
that they we're about 40 years of age.
When asked him how old he was, he
replied that he was "a, and added,
But I feel as young as any man. 1T
shows his optimism" concluded the
doctor.

FISHERY STATE
VALUE OF PRODUCT REACHES TO.
tai OF $215,ooo, ALL TAKEN
FROM TWO BIG RIVERS.

Washington, D. c., May Statistics
Of the fisheries of the state of Iowa are
contained in the Forthcoming special
u. s. d. census report on the general
census of the fisheries Of the United
States for the year 1908, prepared I'M
der the direction Of William M. Stel-
art, chief statistician for manufac.
lures.
In 1908 Iowa held relatively unim-
portant place among the states in
which commercial fishing was carried
on, the fishery products amounting in
value to $215,000, of which $4,000
represented the value Of fish, $4,000
the value Of mussel products and $500
the value of "all others.
The Mississippi and Missouri rivers
were the waters In which the com.
mercial fisheries were carried on, as
the state laws prohibit fishing In the
interior excepting with hook and line.
No vessels were employed in the fish,
cries of the state. The number Of per-
sons employed was 786, and the cap
ital invested was $4,000. Fewer per.
son were employed in 1908 than In
1899 or 1894, as result of the dis.
continuance OF commercial fishing
along the Skunk, Des Moines and Big
Sioux rivers, and in the lakes report
ed as fishing grounds in former years.
If mussel shells, pearls and slugs
are eliminated, the value of products
was $4,000 in 1894, $4,000 In 1899,
and $4,000 in 1908 In the latter
year IS per cent Of the fishermen were
employed in the basin Of the Missis-
sippi river, where more than 81 per
cent of the capital was invested.
German carp. which had value of
$4,000, led in value OF the products.
It was followed by catfish and bull
heads, $4,000; buffalo fish, $23, 900;
sturgeon and caviar, $4,000; with
much smaller values for suckers, black
bass, fresh water drum, etc. The value
Of mussel products reported in 1894
was $2.1O0; in 1899, y97, 900; and in
1908, $44,00O,s showing a phenomenal
growth and rapid decline.

ITS LAST DAY
Fight Between Speer and
Adams Forces In Colo
RADIO Assembly May Pre-
vent Election Of Senator.

Denver, Colo, May 6.-That the
fight to elect successor to the late
United States Senator Charles ).
Hughes, Jr., will be waged unceas-
ingly today from noon to midnight the
hour for the final adjournment OF the
legislature with probability that the
deadlock of the last 100 days will be
found unbroken at the finish were the
indications at the beginning of the last
day Of the eighteenth general assem-.
bly,.
Efforts to bring the democratic ma
jority of the legislature to an agree
ment on the senatorship last night
proved unavailing. A caucus called by
the chairman of the democratic joint
conference committee was attened by
thirry-six of the sixty-six democrats
in the assembly. OF these thirty-three
voted for Mayor Robert w. Speer OF
Denver, the other three scattering their
votes. Another caucus called by the
Adams of Pueblo, admittedly for the
purpose of preventing the attendance
of a legislative majority, fifty one, at
tWenty-eight democrats, two demo

both caucuses.
The Adams forces signified their
willingness to enter the caucus with
the regulars provided Mayor Spee-
withdrew as a candidate. This was
refused. Later each caucus appointed
a conference committee Of five which
met without reaching any understand
ing. Shortly after midnight both
caucuses adjourned with the only de-
velopment being the acquisition OF
four new votes by Speer.
On the eve of the final struggle
thirty three democrats stand on the
platform of "Speer or nobody and
democrats declare mo
body rather than Speer" Under ex-
listing conditions either faction is
strong enough to prevent an election.
The thirty-four republican members
Of the legislature, with whom rests
the balance of power, have consistent |
