SEVEN GALLONS TOO MUCH.
Consignment Of Whisky Held UP and
Returned to Shipper.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, July 31.-How much
whisky can a man have shipped to him
self for his own private use under the
Webb Kenyon law? The law 10 In
definite on this point. nor have the
express or railroad companies fixed a
limit.
County Attorney Henderson Is not at
all clear on the matter, but he is salts
fled that seven gallons IS altogether
too much. At least he went down to
the American express office yesterday
and ordered Agent l. f. Adams not to
deliver seven gallon consignment
which the consignee avowed was for
his own personal use. The shipment
was returned to the consignors.
Contrary to former announcements the
Webb Kenyon law will not interfere
with bona fide shipments of liquor for
the personal use Of the person to whom
they are sent. The express and rail-
road companies here have just received
instructions to make deliveries in all
cases where the amount received is not
large enough to arouse suspicious that
it is wanted for other than personal use.

Ames, July 31.-The new law which
provides for the employment of state

other public works will have its first
test at Ames. Arrangements have been
made to bring about fifteen good con-
duct men from the retormatory at
Anamoss. and put them at work on the
concrete rOadways that are being built
on the campus Of Iowa State College.
The college will pay the state reforma
tory 50 day for this labor to begin
with. $3.50 u day when 1t is deserved.
the state reformatory will in turn de-
post for the men the difference be-
tween what 1t costs to maintain them
and what they earn. The summer
wages VIII belong to the prisoners pro-
viding their conduct continues good;
else il is forfeited to the state.
A shortage of labor at the college is
back Of this arrangement. The men
from the rcformatory will not take any
Jobs away from Ames men because
there Is much more work at the col
lege than local labor can do. The
campus highway construction has been
seriously delayed all season because
Of shortage Of help. Two new build
ings have just been started and that
increases the shortage. and no free
