! V. V. Hubbell principal owner of the
Union depot, today announced his plan
| for enlargement of the depot, making 1t
more than two blocks long, widening It
and taking in a part of a street and ar
ranging IT that all interurbans shall
/ enter the station instead of following the
street cars. He expects to effect the en-
largement this year.
Spends over Two Million Dollars.
The clerks at the state house have been
! trying to figure out the past two weeks
just how much was spent by the last leg
! gSIo A.. A
the amount appropriated, over and above
the ordinary running expenses of the state,
was a little over 100000 There is some
| difficulty in figuring it because a great
many of the sums appropriated are in
| definite and some of the appropriations
will not be entirely used There was a
little over a million and a half appropri-
ated on two bills alone, those providing
| for the state institutions. 1t is probable
that in the next two years the expenses
of the state government, with the ap-
preparations for special purposes will
make very much larger expenditure than
ever before in the history of the state.
Academy of Science to Meet.
I A meeting of the Iowa Academy of
Science is scheduled for tomorrow and Sat
urday at Cedar Rapids, when officers will
be elected. This is important. because the
president of the academy is a member of
the board which will select state geolo-
gist and the meeting of the geological
board was put off until the meeting of
the academy. Prof. ]. L. Houser of Iowa
City is now president of the Academy of
Science.
The articles of incorporation were filed
today for the Iowa, Florida Fruit Land
company of Council Bluffs, capital $4,000.
Preparing for Express Rate Case.
After the storm over the matter of
selecting a new lawyer to take charge of
the legal phases of the express rate case,
the work of securing evidence and arrang-
ing the exhibits was begun today and will
be hurried to completion 1t is not ex-
pected, however, that preparation can be
made for the full hearing on the inJunc-
ton without many months of waiting. The
railroad commission today received from
! Missouri information as to a similar case
there, in which the preparation of the evil
dence has been going for over three
years, as Judge Mcpherson enjoined the
rates in 1907, and they are not yet ready
for trial It is admitted that the testimony
in the case heard before the state COM
mission on which the new rates were is
sued was incomplete and that much new
evidence must be secured.
ThOrne May Reopen Case.
1t is expected that Commissioner Thorne
will reopen the controversy over who should
have charge of the legal matters for the
state and show why he should be given
the authority over the attorney general.
The shippers and others interested in the
! of he
whole controversy be dropped and that no
further attention be paid to the petty diff
ferences between officials to which one
should take precedence in court over the
other. Mr.. Thorne. however. is not disposed
to do this and he may make a third at
tack upon the office of the attorney gen
eral,
Holden for Governor.
Prof. P. G. Holden, head of the college
extension department of the state college
and organizer Of the short courses in Iowa,
may be candidate for governor or lieuten-
ant governor. He was made the subject of
a bitter attack by Representative Moore
OF Cedar Rapids in the closing days of the
last legislature and Moore denounced HoI-
den and decried his work. The matter came
up over an appropriation for Holden's de-
partment and Holden won out. Later il
has been announced that Moore will run
for either governor or lieutenant governor
and one point in his platform will be the
| economy he exercised I'm the legislature,
while at the head Of the appropriations
committee. Prof. Holden stated here today
that In case Moore runs for either OF these
offices he will run against him and sub
init the controversy to the people.
Governor Carroll is at Muscatine acting
in the capacity OF peacemaker in the labor
troubles there and It is hoped that he may
induce the employers to concede something
to the labOrers. Several companies OF mill
tia are kept there for the purpose OF pre-
venting any further rioting.
Rev. ]. f. Hawk. Lone Tree, Ia, was
elected president OF the Iowa Chassis of the

Reformed church last night. A vice presi-
dent, corresponding secretary and treas
urer will be elected this morning.
