STATE INSTITUTIONS
TO RAISE own MEAT
Board Of Control TO Cease Buy.
ing Supplies From Packers.

Des Moines, March 30.-While the
board of control now buys annually
nearly 100000 pounds of meat for the
feeding of the inmates of the state in
stitutions, plan is being worked out
so that each institution. as far as prac
ticable. will raise the cattle and hogs
required for it's own use. This scheme
will withdraw from the packing firms
their heaviest customer in Iowa. The
states meat bill each year amounts tc
nearly 100000.
At the Fort Madison penitentiary
]. C. Sanders, warden, has already be
gun the meat production plan. He is
now raising all the fresh pork the COG
men of his institution eat Five years
ago he started with three cows. Now
he has herd of seventy-five. AL
calves are permitted to grow to matur
ity.
State officials say the public will
benefit two ways by going into the cat
tie industry; by a saving in mainte
nance charge of the institutions, ane
by aiding in increasing the number o.
cattle and hogs in the country.

Asks F0y Wit Of HabeaS Corpus For
 Mother" )ones
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHl

DENVER, April 3.-A petition for writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Mother" Mary Jones, held as a mili tary prisoner in the county jail at Walsenburg, was rendered the state supreme court by Horace N. Hawkins, attorney for the United Mine Workers of America The court was asked to take original jurisdiction. It will de- eide at later date whether to enter tain the suit
 During the confinement of Mother Jones, the S2 year old leader in hospital at Trinidad, application for a writ of habeas corpus was made to the supreme court but was denied on Feb ruary 2S on the ground the lower court first should pass upon the case. Sub sequently action was brought in the district court of Las Animas county There the petition Was also denied
 The plan to appeal to the supreme court was given up when, on the very day on which the papers were to have been filed Mother" Jones was released She was re-arraigned in Walsenburg, in the coal strike district, while on her way back to Trinidad.
 Hawkins, in bringing the present suit contends that the issues are now identical with those upon which the district court has already given it's de- cision and that further acton in that court is unnecessary.

Effect of Rebel Victory in Torreon is Felt in Ell Paso in Stiffening That Marks the Constitution alist Money
FOREIGNERS ARE
 NOW ORGANIZING
Appeals Are Prepared and Sent to Washington Set ting Forth It is Time to Recognize Carranza's Su- premacV
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

FL PASO, April 3.-The effect of the rebel victory at Torreon was felt here in the stiffening that marked constitu- tionalist money, in the beginning of a movement to organize foreigners own ing property in Mexico to appeal to Washington to recognize the Carranza government.
 The latter idea originated with For mer Governor Curry of New Mexico and is said to be significant of the recently prominent sentiment that if the revolution is carried to complete success, counter revolutions which it was generally predicted would follow, would really not materialize. It is pointed out by a prominent American business man that the incomes of rich men, formerly able to finance revOlts, have been so depleted that it would be exceedingly difficult for a new insur- rection of any proportions to be fin anced inside of Mexico.
 telegram sounding the senators and representatives at Washington on the proposed propaganda was dis patched tonight.
 "The fall of Torreon puts the dollar mark on Villa and Monclova money" said J. S. Curtis of Fl Paso, who is considered the best informed man on Mexican constitutionalist money in the United States.
 ITO date the Mexican constitutional government, for their joint account have issued $60,OOO,OOO paper fiat cur rency.
 "Carranza issued s3O,0OO,0OO of this currency and Villa issued from Chi huahua $3O,O0O,0OO more of his own currency.
 The Carranza issue is what is known as Monclova money, because it was issued under a decree signed at Mon clova, Coahuila in May. 1913 This money has sold as high as B cents on the dollar, United States gold and as low as fifteen cents, but it's price at all times remained firmer than that of the Villa money.
 "To back up genuine currency. Villa is said to have 100000 head of cattle on ranches in Chihuahua alone and more than s3,000.0 .000 bullion, besides the state and government revenue"

 The first annual meeting of the trustees last year was well attended, about 50 being present, but Superin- tendent Higgins is anxious that at least 100 should attend this time. The annual meeting brings the trustees to- gether for united action on problems of moment to the entire county, and Mir. Higgins is firm believer in the theory that cooperation in such cases not only results in greater efficiency but in a material saving to the school districts,
