man who imagined himself surrounded
by wolves on the Rtsley farm, south
west OF town, early Friday morning.
had been located near Ontario. He
Immediately procured a rig and drove
over. and the wolf man was landed
in the city Jail. He proved to be a
negro by the name of Anthony j..
Thompson, who claimed Des Moines
and Enterprise as his homes and says
he was on his way from Spurgeon, S.
d.. to Des Moines and had ticket on
i his person to uphold his claim.
He admits that he was at the Risley
farm Friday morning, and stcutly
maintains that he was surrounded by
wolves. and no one mas been able to
persuade him that he wasn't. He went

hunger finally driving him to a farm
house for food.
Possesses q Claim.
According to his story, he has been
living on q claim near Sturgeon. S. d.
and the patent papers for the claim
from the United States government
were found in his possession when
picked up. He had lived in Des ,Moines
and Enterprise before going to South
Dakota, being a miner, and was on his
way down there to make visit when
he met with this adventure. 1t seems
that he left Omaha on No. 10, which

STATE MUST PURCHASE Two

Special to Times- Republican.
Des Moines. Dec. s.-Next after pur-
chase Of farm. for the state epileptic
colony for Iowa must come the pur-
chase Of two other farms the state
needs. namely:
State custodial farm. for penal coll
ony, to furnish place for short time
commitments. strictly for reformatory
purposes.
State reformatory for women. to be
located on farm removed from any 9TH
er state institution.
The same law which authorized the
board to purchase farm for the cpl
leptic colony authorized the location OF
the custodial farm and the reformatory
for women. Payment for the same IS
to be made out of the millage taxes,
and will be so made provided the
courts do not hold, as has been insisted
In the capital case, that all, these mill
age taxes are illegal and that principle
Of doing business is contrary to the
constitution.
Plans Of Legislature.
The plan Of the legislature, tho that
was not clearly expressed, was to pro-
vide one custodial farm with view to
ultimately having four or more. A farm
Of perhaps 1000 acres Is necessary for
this work. The cottage plan Of hous-
ing the convicts would be followed.
There should be enough land so that
all sorts Of farm operations could be
carried on. Possibly other industries
would be established This Is q part
OF the general plan laid out for ulti-
mate ending of the convict contract
labor problem.
The reformatory for women is now
at Anamosa, q part Of that state re-
formatory, but it is contended that few
are sent there chiefly because Of the
prejudice against sending women to q
general state refornatory. With a sep
arate institution for women 1t 10 be-
lieved that q way would be found to
care for many delinquents who are
now at large. Only q small area Of
ground is needed for this institution,
probably 100 acres.
It Is the intention Of the board to
take up these two projects soon after
the epileptic colony farm is located
The board still has several places to
visit before deciding this question.

FACTS ARE SUPPRESSED
Information Relative 70 Operation o.
Government Owned Railroads Of
Europe Hold Back Thru Some Un.
known lnfusnos - Consular Reports
Not Made Public.

N0S MA0o PUBIC.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 3.-When Judge
Anthony Van Wagenen prepared his
book ON government ownership of rail-
| roads some years ago. he was able to
quote quite extensively from the con-
sular reports as printed in Washington
regarding the workings of government
ownership in other countries.
An inspection of the published con-
! sular reports during the past four or
five years reveals that the American
consuls have been unable to secure any
information on this subject, or at least
1t has not been printed In the regular
reports. Now that the issue of ma
ttonalization Of the American railroad
properties has come to the front large
ly because Of the demand for increased
rates and the showing Of the railroads
OF inability to make profits, there Is
a demand for specific information as
to what is being done on the govern
ment-owned roads thruout the world.
Inquiry 10 now being made as to why 1t
was that under the last administration
the consular reports ceased to show
anything material as to these rail-
roads.
1t IL not probable that nationalist
ton Of the railroads will become a
political issue, at least not at once, but
the correspondence which Chairman
Thorne has had with e. p. Ripley and
the statements Of president Mel
len President Nudge and others on the
subject. indicate that the question of
government ownership II coming rap
idly to the front az one Of the things
that must be studied carefully and be
given consideration soon.
1t 10 probable that some sort Of a
state meeting will be held soon that
those who are engaged in making a
study Of the railroad problem may get
together and arrange for further in
Quiry as to the effect Of government
ownership. Col. Smith Brookhart is
In favor Of such a meeting. MY idea"

ings Of government ownership in all
parts Of the world. An Organisation
should be formed, with division into
committees Of persons willing to do
some work, and these committees
should set out TO secure all possible
information regarding the results of

done wen be in a position to under
