IOWA FRUIT CROP SUMMARY
CONDITION or TREES G. PLANTS

Percentage Of Berries Has Been Low.

On Account of Drouth.

Des Moines. Ia, April 9.--Wesley
Greene, secretary of the State Horti-
cultural Society. has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin to the fruit growers:
"A summary of the reports on the
condition of fruit trees and plants is
as followc:
Apples, 81 per cent; pears, 90 per
cent; American plums, 95 per cent;
domestic plums, 80 per cent; peaches,

"The reports indicate that all
trees and plants have gone V.ough
the winter without injury, Apple and
peach trees have recovered somewhat
from the effects of the freeze of a
year ago The percentage on rasp-
berries, bIackberries and strawber
ries has been lowered little by
drouth in few localities last year.
With normal weather conditions
from now until the crops are ma
tured there is no apparent reason why
the fruit grower may not expect a
generous yield of fruits in this state

stitution For Feeble Minded -

Council Bluffs, Ia, April elf the
action of Judge Thomas Arthur of
THE district court of this county, in
releasing an inmate of the Iowa In
stitution for Feeble Minded at Glen.
wood, on a writ of habeas corpus,
based upon the claim that juvenile
courts of Iowa have no jurisdiction
over mentally delinquent children, is
sustained, it will affect the legality of
such action in many cases in the
state and will, IL appealed, release
several score from the custody Of the
state and from the Glenwood institu.
ton.
Judge Arthur granted the writ of
habeas corpus upon the application of
Mrs. Percilla Whitlock of Iowa Falls,
who secured the custody of her daugh-
ter, Vista Cochran, committed to the
institution by Judge Lawrence De
Graf OF Des Moines IN 1910. The
contention is that the sole Jurisdiction
of juvenile courts extends to those
who are morally deficient and not
those who are mentally affected,
DR.. Mordgridge superintendent of
the state institution at Glenwood, in a
hasty examination of the records,
finds that there are at least forty.
three inmates of the institution who
were sent there by juvenile courts.
The action brought here is against all
the officers of the institution and the
state board of control.
Miss Cochran first was arrested in
Des Mones in December, 1909, under
an information charging that she was
delinquent and immoral. In Janu-
airy, 1910, she was committed by
Judge De Graft to the Benedict home
at Fort Dodge The girl was remov-
ed from the home at Fort Dodge in
March and committed to the Indus
trial School for Girls at Mitchellville.
Later she was transferred to the Polk
county juvenile home and still later
to Glenwood.
The petition made on behalf OF the
Igir does not claim that jurisdiction
! of juvenile courts does not extend to
such cases where the delinquent is
not of age. The state, in view OF
this fact, attempted to have the case
reopened and asked the court to or
der that the girl be returned to the
! Home for Girlc at Mitchellville. This
motion was Overruled by the court.

PRESIDENT WILSON CONSIDERS
1T ONE OF GREAT PROBLEMS.

Washington. April 9.-President
Wilson is seriously concerned over
what methods are to. be pursued to
prevent the great food disasters in
the country.
The president considers it one of
the greatest problems confront
ing his administration.
1t is likely the secretary of war will
be ordered to direct his engineers to
Iprepare a detailed report to be ready
for the regular session of congress
next December
The biggest problem will be to
finance the improvement. The presi-
dent has been told by the congress
ional leaders that the necessity for
the mso tstringent economy in govern
ment was never so great as now.
Representative Fitzgerald, of
Brooklyn, chairman OF the house ap.
preparations committee in a confer
ence with the president has request
ed he take a firm stand on the appro.
priations question. He told the presi.
dent that if only a few of the bills
already introduced in the house al
fecting the food situation were pass
ed they would take every dollar in
the treasury.
The question will receive the most
serious consideration for general
schedule of Improvement which
would take care of all future foods
in the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri and

Capitol again this afternoon. He has
invited the democratic members OF

Des Moines, April 9.-Three armed
men went into Matt Stanfels saloon
at East Second street and Court ave-
nue. last evening, forced the bartender
and customers to throw up their
hands and stand against wall, rifled'
the cash register and escaped.
Such fusillade of bullets as few
in all directions in the few minutes
needed for the trio to rob the saloon
and escape, police have no recollec-
ton of ever having been duplicated in
Des Moines. At least thirty shots
were fired by all those who participant.
ed in the affair but only shattered win
dow panes and holes in the floor and
ceiling OF the saloon were left to give
evidence of an encounter. Witnesses
declare, however, that as the three
bandits walked away from the corner
two of them were supporting the third,
who limped as though he had been in.
iured.
Capt Jackson, acting upon the the
DRY that one of the three had been
shot, sent a detail of police to search
the railroad yards After hunting
several hours, the officers returned to
headquarters and reported that they
found no trace of the robbers.
Each story of the robbery told to
the police is at variance with the 9th.
ers they obtained. The recital of
what happened given most credence
by the officials is as follows:
At about $3.50 o'clock in the evening
three men, one short and wearing a
black overcoat and the other two tall
and wearing light raincoats, threw
open the front, door Of the saloon,
walked up to the middle Of the, room,
drew revolyers, and fired several times
into the floor.
Having succeeded in intimidating
the men in the saloon the three then
issued orders to Matt Stanfel, pro-
prietor and bartender to throw up his
hands. The porter, John McCray.
was forced to go from behind the bar
and take his place with the customers
lwho were being lined un against the
wall.
While two OF the robbers kept their
eyes on the men the third went behind
the bar and took $50 from the cash
register. He walked back and the
three leisurely started for the front
door. Just as they gained the en-.
trance the shortest man whirled
around and fired at Stanfel. Stanfel
hastily crawled under the bar.

COUNTING MONEY
FOR UNCLE SAM
1T WOULD TAKE ONE MAN 300
YEARS TO FINISH JOB.
"MISTAKES" GUARDED AGAINST
Observations and Comparisons Of
Wilson's cabinet-secretary Red
field is the Oldest and Only
Member Wearing Beard.

Washington, April 9.-Nothing to
do but count money. Weigh great
sacks of gold, paw over great bundles
of bonds, check up. on notes. This
may appeal to the chap who can fig
lure out his whole fortune on the fin
gers OF his left hand, but il is proving
a bore to the employees of the United
States treasury department who are
shaving to give Carmi Thompson a
clean bill and let John Burke assume
the treasurership of the United
States with every penny of Uncle
Sans funds accounted for.
The quadrennial count, which be-
gan several days ago, is task which
would take a single man, counting
dollar by dollar, some 300 years TO
finish. For there is a. billion and a
half in the vaults, the biggest surplus
known in the history of the nation
During the count, not a cent of the
money will leave the vaults. Secret
tary of the Treasury McAdoo appoint
ed committee of employees to seal
up the strong rooms, saving out
enough money to meet current expen-
Ises, and until the counters officially
began, the seals were unbroken. Arm
ed guards stand over the workmen
to see that they are not molested and
to guard against mistakes" putting
slugs of lead in several sacks of sill
yer. 1t took months to figure out the
shortage, the count having practical
lily to be done over.
AS It would be impossible for the
count to be made dollar for dollar in
side of many years, the counters are
working on the weight basis. Sacks
of gold and silver containing $1,000
are carefully weighed and used as a
standard. By these, the rest of the
money, similarly sacked, is weighed
on scales that register almost to a
hair. Thus it is expected that the
task will be completed in about two
months. After all is verified, Mr..
Thompson will turn over the cash of.
ficially to Mr.. Burke, take receipt
for II and heave one great sigh--fOr
he no longer will be responsible.

Christiania, Norway, April 9.-Fail-
ure has oyertsken the German arctic
expedition under Lieutenant Schroe-
der-Stranz. Most Of the members are
believed to have died on the ice from
exposure or scurvy and the command
er in chief is missing.
Four Of the men have succeeded in
returning to Advent Bay, Spitzberg.
en-, and two others are probably safe
at Treurenburg Bay.
Chief Missing Since August.
The aviator and cook died from
starvation. Nothing has been heard
from Lieutenant -Stranz
since he started on a sledge expe-
ditional one In August last year.
Captain Ritschel brought the first
news Of the fate of the expedition in
January, when he returned to Advent
Bay in a deplorable condition and
was thought to be the only survivor.
A dispatch from Spitzbergen has re-
vived hopes that few others may
be alive.

Among the party, besides the OH
GERS and crew, we're several German
scientists. including geologist, q
botanist and an oceanogrspher.
Experience on polar work was al
most entirely lacking, and the equip

Big Mills Crowds Out Little Ones.

Washington, April 9.-How the big

are crowding the old-fashioned grist
mills and even the mills owned by in
dividuals off the commercial map, is

today by the Census Bureau. Only
$50, 1853 worth of products were
handled in the grist mills of the coun.
try in that year, in total of 1898 $685..
958. The product of mills run by cor.
porations was 66.6 per cent of the
whole. Minnesota led the field with
4,04l.9 1893 bushels of wheat and over
100000 bushels of other grains
grown. New York was second and
Kansas third,
