Special to the News.

Little Rock, May 3.-(2:15 D.. ID. .)-Representative Little ere ated a sensation in the house to- day when he charged that the State Liquor Dealers Association had bought control of the senate, and diet ate all legislation.
 He further charged that it's ramniticdtion includes many things and had caused defeat of the Bradshaw Hurst bill and even that the State University h d fallen under the lash. He said that S1,600 had been put up and divided among the big four" to defeat the passage of the Going bill in the senate; that the defeat of the Bradshaw Hurst bill cost $500 each for votes enough to prevent it's passage; that Sl 100 had been placed in the hands of certain senators to pass the Game Warden bill.
 Representative Little further stated that Prosecuting Attorney Rogers is on the job and that surprises may be expected at any time.
 He charged that even the sec retary of the state is under the dominaion of Joe Lyons, the liquor dealer; that the secretary had unlimited power to eXpend the contingent funds and that tie senate protected him against in vestigation, and he is pliant tool in the hands of those who control the senate and thwart the will of the people.

WANTS COMPLETE
RECORDS K EPl
DR.. SUMNER ASKS FOR FUNDS
FOR METEOROLOGICAL
DEPARTMENT.

Des Moines, Jan. 16.-Complete reg.
istration of births, deaths, divorces and
marriages as basis of determining
health standards in Iowa is recon-
mended by DR.. G.. H. Sumner, secre-
tary of the state board OF health, in
his biennial report to the governor.
Mr.. Sumner announced that he IS
drafting bill for presentation to the
legislature which will compel all such
registration. :
THE registration Of births and
deaths as basis of determining health
standards may sound strange, but the
system is the same as used by finan-
Gers" said DR.. Sumner. "A business
man watches his resources and his ex-
penditures If he spends more money
than he is taking in, it means that ne
is nearing bankruptcy unless ne
changes his business methods.
"The resources of the state as to
population are it's births. It's expend-
iture and losses are the deaths. If the
deaths are greater than the births, it
means falling off in population. To
determine the ratio of the number OF
deaths to the number of births, we
must have statistics. We get all the
deaths, l believe, but there is no law
requiring the registration of births.
IF it is found that there are more
deaths than births, something is
wrong and we must change our
methods. It might be race suicide,
but the probabilities are that such
conditions would be caused by unsatis-
factory health standards.
1.-THE ratio of the number of divorces
to the number of marriages tell the
story of the amount of unhappiness
in the state which always is detrl-
ment to the progress of the common
wealth.
In his report DR.. Sumner also recon-
mends the law as an aid in future
litigations in determining the age of
litigants who are attempting to acquire
property to be Inherited by them when
they become Of age.
InfantIe Paralysis.
In regard to the infantile paralysis
which has been prevalent in Iowa DR..
Sumner says:
1.-THE epidemic of infantile paralysis
has been the most serious sorrow that
has ever befallen any commonwealth
and the board has shown its efficiency
in coping with the sad but mysterious
visitor that has caused so much grief
in Iowa."

MYSTERY OF THE
CLUB-FOOT HORSE
STRANGE ACTING HOG THIEF
AROUSES INTEREST IN HIS
METHOD OF THEFT.

The peculiar deformity Of horses
hoof may be the means Of solving q
riddle that has given the sheriff's
Office some worry for the past few
days, and incidently disclosed strange
acting hog thief. While most thieves
are considered somewhat hoggish in
their nature, this peculiar brand Of
robber deals in stealing hogs from his
neighbors or some one else's neigh
bors The first intimation given the
sheriff's Office was early during the
past week, when report from the
Hagen farm southwest of the city told
of thief having visited the farm the
night before, and after killing hog
threw the animal over the fence, load
ed it into wagon and drove off with
out attracting attention. The report
also stated that the person or per-
sons who perpetrated the theft drove
a horse, the impression of whose hoof
was strange and easily of detection
Last night at the T. P. Box home near
the Cummings ice house, similar
stunt was pulled off. There were only
two pigs on the Box place and this
morning one was missing, although the
blood was spilled in pool at the place
the hog was killed, and the same
method of taking the animal as was
used at the Hagen farm earlier in the
week. The peculiar shaped hoof print
was also left to trace the animal to
the road where they were lost in the
numerous other hoof prints. Some
wag has asked if it might not be the
hunted panther that was responsible
for the missing pork, inasmuch as the
two thefts were on the South Side.
