Des Moines. Sept. 1s.-It IL santici-
pated that Rowley and others who are
back OF him in the suit against the
capitol extension tax levy will under
take to have the supreme court Insist
on hearing on their appeal from the
decision Of Judge Applegate on the
main case. at the same time as the
argument on the Hunter decision on a
minor phase Of the tax suit
But while the lawyers have said that
they intend to appeal the decision in
the main case. they have as yet taken
no steps in that direction: while the
appeal in the incidental case il per-
fected and before the supreme court.
That Is where. SO It il pointed out, the
attorneys for Rowley got their foot
into 1t by Fastening the minor suit and
getting 1t decided prior to tho decision
In the case involving the whole Of the
law. Their ruse succeeded only in get
ting the suits turned around and the
little one ahead.
There was some surprise that the
attorneys in the Van Buren, county
case. which involves only the legality
Of the levy of a tax IN one county, did
not resist having the case advanced.
Now the oral argument must be given
Oct. 20. This was q material conces-
sion by the court because ali other
matters involving decision by q full
bench have been put of until Deem
Der. The hearing In October will be in
effect q special sitting for this pur-
pose.
Main cass Dserss Signed.
Tho decree in the main case has
been signed by Judge Apologize. It in
wolves the entire law. It DEGREES:
The levy Of a millage tax for public
Improvement IL legal.
Tho executive council may lawfully
enter into contracts for purchase Of
property to be paid for out Of pro-
ceeds Of the millage tax.
The executive council may issue
warrants in payment for such property
anticipating collection Of taxes levied
to redeem same.
All the rest Of the law IL found to be
Illegal This, decree covers the whole
law while that Of Judge Hunter was
necessarily confined to the question Of
the legality Of the tax levy, AZ other
matters were not before him or in Is
sue. Under the Applegate decree the
state officials may and win proceed
just az they have In the past with the
making of the contracts for purchase
Of property and these contracts may be
taken up by, issue OF warrants payable
out Of the special fund provided In the
millase tax levy. but no. bearing In
terest. and the warrants would BIO Is
sued directly to property owners in re-
demption Of the contracts.
Il seems that for some reason the
threatened suits in southern iowa by
those who are backing the obstruction
suits have not materializebl.
Tho next move Of Rowley ct al. Il
awaited with interest. It would seem
the people Of the state are ahead at
present in the game.

Des Moines. Sept. 1S.,-While Thaw
and Jerome are playing Il lively game
of hide and seek in the New Hamp-
shire hills, and it looks like the United
States supreme court would get .
chance at deciding whether one men
tally irresponsible can be held guilty
of crime, the Iowa supreme court l:
holding down an Iowa .rhaw case in
volving the identical same question ane
apparently waiting for some guidance
on criminal insanity.
In many respects the manslaughtel
case Of Harry D. Kelley. Of Council
Bluffs resembles the Thaw case. Con-
siderably more than a year ago it was
put squarely up to the Iowa court tc
decide whether or not an insane mar
in Iowa can be held to be guilty OF
crime. For a year and a half the court
has been unable to decide.
DR.. Kelley was adjudged by jury
Of twelve men to have been insane or
the day he killed Edwin Sterling, a
barkeepcr in Des Moines. The district
court submitted to the jury with the
case a special interrogatory which
read:
DO you find that the defendant. H
d. Kelley, was insane on the twenty
fifth day of March. 1911, when it Is
charged that he shot and killed Edwin
Sterzing?"
And to this the jury unanimously
answered with Yes"
Jury Disobeys instructions.
But the jury. altho it had been in
structed that il DR.. Kelley was insane
when he killed the barkeeper should
find him not guilty either of murder
or any other crime, brought in YER
dict of manslaughter. The lower court
of course sent him to Anamosa for an
indeterminate detention.
The only explanation Of this incon-
sistent course was that the juryme.
believed that while DR.. Kelley was In
fact insane he ought to be restrained
and that this was the easiest way to
have 1t done.
DR.. Kelley had already been prac-
tically adjudged incompetent before he
committed the act in Des Moines. He
had been sentenced to three years In
the institution for inebriates at Knox
Vile and was on his way there In
charge Of an officer. His father had
sought to have him sent to the insane
! hospital at Clarinda. The Kelley In

Such "A seed bed, usually has a hard
pan preventing, not only the. penetra-

The process of deepening the seed

Two things stop the movement of

farmer to so till the soil that the

The two conditions are:

2. Jumps in the body or on the

Trash turned under is responsible
for more crop failures or short crops

causes togther. The trash turned
under prevents a compact soil con
tact between the fnrroW slice and the
bottom Of the furrow. The result is,
large air spaces and when the capil-
larry water reaches the break, it stops,
an dthe seed bed dries out.
Jumps IN the seed bed produce prac-
