Des Moines. Sept. 1a.-Joseph H,
Byrnes. deputy state auditor. whose
duty 1t il to keep very close tab on all
appropriations and expenditures in
Iowa, has found what seems to be an
amazing mistake in the way that it
has been held private bills go into ef-
feet in Iowa. The custom has been
for many years to regard all laws, both
private and public, ~ becoming eff
fective July 1 following their enact
ment, unless there IL . publication
clause" attached. This has been done
30 long that every one seems to have
forgotten that anything else ever was
done.
I Now the constitution. 30 Mr.. Byrnes
finds, provides that mo law OF tho
general assembly, passed at . regular
session. OF q public nature. shall take
effect until the lth day Of July next
after the passage thereof" The con-
stitution did not provide for laws Of .
private nature: but in the code It is
provided that
"Acts Of a private nature. which do
not prescribe the time when they take
effect, shall do 30 on the thirtieth day
next after they have been approved BY
the governor"
BY reason Of this clause in the code
(section IS. chapter 81 all the private
laws become effective long before July
(.
But the inquiry was carried further
to find out what has been regarded as
q law Of q private nature. Some OF
the bills are easily classified a. such
but not all Of them.
It appears that In the Fourteenth
genera! assembly. also the Fifteenth,
ana perhaps Ill prior to that time. the
legislature authorised tho secretary OF
state to classify the bills into those OF
a general nature and those Of q private
nature ana to publish them In separate
volumes. which was done. In this elas-
sification, which seems to have met
with legislative approval, there was
classified the temporary APPROPRIATIONS
for state institutions and support
funds for the educational institutions.
treated as private or temporary laws.
Several Interests Affected.
Now II this sort of Q classification
would 10 today. then some Of the insti-
tutions Of Iowa are entitled to constd-
cradle sums Of money more than they
received. For instance. the state edu-
cational institutions were given an an
nual appropriation Of S273.eoo. This
commenced July 4. II the thirty days
after approvar' rule holds the increas-
"a appropriation would commence six
weeks earlier.
It would look as II the pensioners
under the Spirit Lake act might, IN
view Of this disclosure. get eight weeks
more Of pensions It was held their
pensions commenced July :. The act
went into effect May 3.
It 10 not anticipated there will DO
any unusual demands on the treasury
by reason Of this clause Of the code OF
Iowa, which seems to have been over
looked by tho legislature for many
years; but Il may put q different phase
on the subject in some future legislat-
ures.

they roam about the country at their

 PNUEMONIA VICTIM

Chicago, Dec. e.-Aaron Montgomery Ward who rose from a day laborer to the presidency of a nlail-order house, died yesterday at his residence at Highland Park The muftimillionaire was 70 years old. Death resulted from 8 complication of diseases which de- veloped after two falls.
 About two years ago MT Ward slip ped on the running, board of an auto mobile at Pasadena, Cal, and broke one arm and a. shoulderblade. Those injuries forced him to forego all out door amusements. SIX weeks ago he fell in his house and fractured his right hip. The kidneys were injured and pneumonia set in-
 MT Ward was born at Chatham, N. J., on February IT, 1843, the family go- ing West when he was eight years old. He advanced himself by his own en- deavors until at his death his wealth is reliably estimated at $15, 100000.
 MT Wards long-continued efforts to prevent the erection of buildings in Grant park won for him the name of ''The watchdog of the lake front At one time there were 46 projects for buildings on the park, and he fought these propects in the face of general opposition.
 Two years ago the state supreme court handed down decision prohibit ing the erection of buildings on the lake front
