nation from the Eleventh district Is to
the effect that Representative w. l..
Harding, OF Sioux City, is actively
promting his campaign for lieuten-
ant governor and that he will make the
race unless something extraordinary
happens. There had been some talk
that Speaker Paul Stillman would be
candidate for that office, but 1T is
learned the decision il otherwise, and
there is now no question but that he
has been selected to make the race for
congress in the Tenth district against
Congressman Frank P. Woods. Some
time ago 1t was announced by one who
assumed at least to have confidential
and inside information that not only
was Speaker Stillman but Senator AL
len and Senator Hammill looking for
ward to the congressional nomination,
and 1t WAS stated that the plan was
for Allen to go to congress and for
Representative Cunningham to succeed
him in the senate. Newspapers in Sem
ator Aliens district have all but an
nounced him as candidate for the
place Nothing definite Is known here
as to the plans Of those who have the
matter in charge. - ...e.
The last legislature practically dis
posed of the use Of the funds arising
from the college building millage taxes
for the next three or four years, as the
plans approved for buildings contem-
plate an expenditure Of $S36.GG0, all to
be paid by direct taxation. This Will
use UP all the taxes coming until
long time after the meeting of the next
general assembly. At the same time
the board OF education has not I'm
ished the use of all the taxes due, ana
there are several buildings not yet
anished The library building at Cedar
rails is practically done and VIII De
dedicated on the 18th: the addition 10
the hospital at Iowa City Is up TO the
second story; the new physics building
at Iowa City is up to the third story:
and the foundation has just been laid
for the veterinary building at Arnes.
All these will have to be completed be
fore the board begins on the use OF the
sS3e. 900 authorized by the legislature.
1uf1re M. ]. Wade and Ex-Congress-
man Joe R. Lane argued to the SUI
prene court yesterday q case involving
one Of the most prominent 1alnines Oh
Davenport and a. small matter or ABOUT
800 900 inheritance. 1t was the case Oh
Nellie Finger vs.. Lena Ankin. in which
the Dlaintiff, who is the wife OF Samuel
Finger, a prominent lawyer, seeks 10
establish that she was in fact the
adopted daughter of the defendant ana
entitled to inherit a chdds portion of
the estate OF her foster father. David
Ankin, a wealthy cheese merchant. The
plaintiff as an orphan g years old went
TO live with Ankin and Continued to
live in the family until her marriage
at the age Of 20. On his death bed
Anlsin was induced to make Will, or
sign one, giving all his property, an
estate Of $4,000, to his widow. the de-
PENDANT in the case. No formal adopt
ion papers were ever signed but the
child was given the name OF the foster
parents and they insisted she should
be married under that name. The at
torneys in the case INDUCED in some
oratorical fireworks.
At the present term Of the supreme
court that body will pass on the mean
ing Of the Iowa statute against boot
logging" and undertake to derne what
as meant by that term. An interesting
case involving that question came to
the court from Jasper county wherein
a restaurant keeper had been selling
mead" along with other soft drinks.
Rival restauranteurs caused search
warrant and seizure Of the stuff and
Professor Kinney found it contained a
fraction over I per cent OF alcohol. In
junction was issued and when the case
came to the supreme court 1t was con-
tended that the defendant was guilty
under the bootlegger statute. In de-
tense 1t was claimed that the bootleg
ger statute would not apply since the
man sold the drinks openly and over
his counter, and neither carried them
about for disposal nor left them any
where to be found. SO the court is
asked to define what is meant by
'bootlegging" and whether Or not
man can engage in '.bootlegging'' from
q soda fountain in a restaurant.
An evening paper here brings out the
name Of Secretary OF State Hawyeard
as a candidate for governor next year.
So far as known Mr.. Hayward has not
given the matter any consideration.
His Office as secretary OF state expires
at the close of next year and he will
not be . candidate for that office.
-
The fact that Charles c. Dawes,
former comptroller of currency, was
invited to address the bankers asso-
citation here, and that this time Ex-
Secretary Leslie NJ. Shaw was not In
vited, leads to the conclusion that it
( has been decided that the central bank
plan Of Aldrich is to be Endorsed and
approved. Shaw lambasted the plan
s.,!.ks::: mercy .. the convention last
year and made 1t impossible to get an
approval at that time.
