Des Moines, April lit begins to

BY the senate, and there II excellent

amendments. Yesterday afternoon IL
was finished up In the senate and the
state printer undertook to get II
printed, with amendments and
changes 20 that this afternoon the
senators can pass on It As q whole.
The bill will establish law under
which employers will be required to
provide In some way for compensa-
ton for injuries on q fixed scale, on
the basis of so per cent Of the wage
OF the injured party, for a series OF
weeks, depending on the extent OF
the injury. The employer may take
out insurance In Q commercial com

rying his own insurance and put up
a bond to secure payment.
In order that there may be prompt
settlement Of these claims and no
necessity for resort to the courts
for adjustment, there will be one

Senator Clarkson, who has made
the fight for workman's compensn-
tion law In Iowa, declares that the

ishes the old worn out defenses for

less they take Affirmative action to
escape from the law and retain the
old system.
The house has passed the bill CIV

OF the downfall Of many young women

so-called soft drinks, when analysed
by the city chemist, were found to con.

north side we discovered that the pro-
prietor had served notice on his
patrons that friend would be pro-
vided for any girl that needed one.

Mason City Man; Wilson
Men Urged for Jobs.

Washington, D. c., April lie, G.
Dunn, recent democratic candidate FOL
governor, Nick Reed, state democratic
chairman and active candidate for tht
position OF United States marshal fol
1.-THE southern district Of Iowa, and th3
three democratic congressman have
been considerably annoyed this weel
BY d story emanating from Washing
ton printed in q Des Moines paper
that Dunn had made special triI
here to protest against the recon-
mendation OF Reed.
Dunn himself has denied this. He
came principally on business with the
attorney general. He admits, however
that he did talk politics with the three
congressman and with Judge Wade
the national committeeman, before
the latter's return home Sunday
Further, he admits that he demanded
places for Wilson men on the federal
slate and for one Wilson man in par
'ticular-Judge Van Wageen, candidate
for district attorney In the northern
district.
According to Dunn, the slate should
be divided between the two demo.
v
supported Champ Clark and those who
supported President Wilson. AS the
whole northern part Of the state was
in favor of Wilson and the southern
part in favor of Clark, he believes
there should be three Wilson men on
the slate to represent the northern
districts. However he admits that an
ideal theoretical slate would be com.
posed OF two Wilson men and one
Clark man in the north and vice versa
In the south
There is one condition which would
prevent this, and that condition will
probably mean that there will be
three Wilson men in the north and
three Clark men In the. south.
1t is the policy of the congressman
to divide the places equally between
themselves and the state at large, no
one congressman to have more than
one federal officer In his district.
One OF the States.
But for this tacit gentleman's agree
ment, the ideal slate, as mentioned
above, would likely be agreed upon
and the recommendations would be:
For marshals-J. r. Dalton Of Man
son and N. F. Reed Of Ottumwa.
For district attorneys A. Van
Wagenen of Sioux City and Dan Ham
ilton OF Sigourney.
For collectors-Louis Murphy Of
Dubuque and some man to be named
by Mr.. Pepper from the list OF candi-
dates for the Davenport postoffice,
probably either Fred Sharon or
Charles Kindt

WILSON URGED
TO MODIFY THE
SUGAR TARIFF
Western Men Call on Presi-
dent and Ask Him to
Agree to Modification Of
Schedule; Look for Fight.

Washington, ID. c., April 11.-Prest-
dent Wilson. was urged today to agree
to modification in the tariff sched-
ule on sugar to make it discretionary
with the executive at the end Of three
years whether sugar should be free.
Former Governor Alva Adams OF
Colorado told the president that while
the industry in his state could stand
reduction to one cent pound as
now provided in the tariff BILL the
knowledge that sugar would be free at
the end of three years would have
depressing effect on business during
that period.

al committeeman from Los Angeles.
discussed the question with the presi-
dent and took the sans. .pQsitlo ion -as
former Governor Adams. He went
away with the impression that the
president was still carefully consider
Ing that feature Of the bill.
Senator Thomas of the finance COM
mittee, discussed the tariff briefly with
the president.
Look For Fight on Sugar.
House democrats were prepared to-
day for the first sharp fight over the
tariff bill when the sugar schedule
came up in the party caucus. The
democrats met behind closed doors
again today with the iron and steel
tariff under consideration but with the
prospect that the sugar fight would
break before the end of the day.
Representative Underwood and his
associates, who are supporting the
presidents plan for Is per cent re-
duction in the sugar duty with free
sugar in 1916 have shown no disposi-
ton to evade the sugar issue in the
caucus. The democratic leaders ex-
pect to carry the sugar tariff proposal
through the caucus without change
Study OF the tariff bill continued at
the senate side. where democrats OF
the finance committee have called IN
experts to.help them analyze the house

committee will shorten the time OF the

to act soon after the house passes the

is Stronger This Morn
ing; Able to Sit Up in a
Chair While Bed is Made.

Rome, April 1.-THE condition Of the
pope was unchanged this morning
when Prof. Marchiafava and DR.. Amici
examined him. His temperature had
increased very slightly. registering
nearly 80. No new symptoms devel.
'oped during the night.
The pope was feeling stronger today
and expressed disappointment at not
being able to receive the pilgrims from
Venice. He asked Cardinal Merry del
Val to receive the pilgrims for him and
to hand each Of them commemora-
tive medal.
A sister and a niece Of the pope Wis.
tied him today and remained several
hours in his room. While Mgr. Bressan,
private secretary to his holiness, cele.
brated mass. the pope prayed sitting
up In bed.
A rumor spread through the city dur
ing the morning that the pope was
dead and this caused q rush of In
quirers to the vatican. where they
found everything tranquil.
The pope at times complains Of
pains In the small of the back which
increase when he sits up and when he
coughs. These and other symptoms
are attributed by the physicians to
renal neuralgia arising from influenza
and remedies have been applied to in.
sure freer action of the internal or.
gans.
Not Satisfied With Progress.
Prof. Marchiafava is apparently not
quite satisfied with the progress Of the
recovery OF strength. He Is inflex.
able in his decision not to allow his
patient to undergo any exertion.
The pope today expressed desire
to read the newspapers, saying that
after what was invented when he was
