MUST DETERMINE
DUTY. OF ALDERMAN
Pass Upon the Duties Of Mem.
bers Of Town Councils.

Des Moines, April 30.-Assistant
Attorney General Robbins came up
against the hardest legal problem in
the experience OF the department yes
terday. A man who had been appoint
ed to be a member Of the town coun.
ell in small town In central Iowa
wrote him to get the law straight as
to the duties Of aldermen. He stated
that he had been appointed, and that
in the line Of his duty he went to the
town hall, looked In at the door and
saw the mayor and two aldermen
playing cards. He turned around and
walked out. He puts It right up to the
attorney general to know il he did
right or to state Just what are the
duties of an alderman.

WANT IOWA As A
PARTY TO SUIT
WOULD HAVE STATE COMMISSION
ENTER RATE ACTION AGAINST
ROADS.

Des Moines, April 30.-(Special)--
An altogether unique hearing Is to be
that before the state railroad commits
sion today In regard to live stock rates
in the east and south. Iowa Is In what
is known as western classification ter
ritory, but this hearing has to DO with
rates in Official or eastern and IN
southern classification territory. It Is
to determine whether or not the Iowa
railroad commission cares to become q
party to suit before the interstate
commerce commission to compel uni
formity in rules regarding the ship
ment of live stock In less than carload
lots, and that uniformity to be q sub
stantial conformity to the rules in the
western classification territory.
The application is by the national So
ciety of record associations, which Is
representative OF all the breeders as
sociations which keep record books.
Wayne Dinsmore Of Chicago, will ap-
pear on behalf Of these associations.
They ask that the rule be so that the
minimum weight on less than carload
lots of live stock In official and south
ern territory be the same as In the
western, that the rule In the east and
south shall be changed 80 that no
attendants are required on such ship
ments, and that the liability for loss
be increased to 5000 for horses, $3.50
for cattle and $50 for sheep and hogs.
This relates almost wholly to breed
ing animals sent one or two at time.
It is represented that the experience
OF the railroads in western territory
80 <Ianv hot
in the rest Of the country and the rail-
roads have worked out satisfactory
rules, which 1t is desired shall be
adopted all over the country.
Shippers in the northwest especially
desire that the Iowa commission, by
reason OF its superior facilities for TAX
ing up rate question. shall be party
to the suit and shall assist In securing
the change by the proper representa-
tions before the national commission.

HOG PRICES At
CHICAGO IS HIGHER
LOWER RECEIPTS AND IMPROVED
SHIPPING DEMAND SENDS
QUOTATIONS UP.

Chicago. April SCOUTING down Of
hog receipts today gave an improve
ment to prices. Quotations were gener-
ally five to ten cents above yesterdays
average. Speculative buying was noted
today and there was an improved ship
ping demand.
Smaller receipts also gave f1rmer
tone to cattle trade. Some grades made
ten cent advance and buyers were
not eager to take hold.
Improved demand all round gave a
better tone to the sheep market.

SAYS PROB. E. R. JOHNSON

Prof. Emery r. johnson, of the uni
versity OF Pennsylvania. who compiled
estimates of the tonnage that will pass
through the Panama Canal for the 18th
mian Canal Commission. estimated that
II would be. at least ten years before
the canal would be commercially self.
supporting Said he:
1t VIII hardly be possible to secure
from foreign shipping enough revenues
during the FIRST decade OF the Panama
Canals operation to meet all operations,
depreciation. interest annuity. Zone gov
eminent. and sanitation charges. On the
other hand, II Panama tolls are charged,
both upon American and upon foreien
ships, at the rate Of tolls that my be
expected to prevail at suez, It may be
possible to secure revenues from the
Panama Canal that will make Il conn
mercially self-supportins during the first
decade"
Prof. johnson estimated that during
the second and succeeding decades, with
tolls not exceeding 81 per net ton, II will
be possible for the United States to se-
cure revenues that VIII permit of the
ultimate amortization OF the investment
in the canal He figured that II would
be possible and advisable. beginning with
