Fourth Trip to High Court.

For the fourth time the lnternation-
al Text Book case has been argued in
the supreme court. Attorneys declare
the supreme court. Attorneys declare
that this equals the record, for they
recall but one other case which was
before the court four times. The case
is one in which Henry l.. White Of
Cedar Rapids sued the text book COM
pany. for $4,000 for alleged false ar
rest.
When first before the supreme court
the case was reversed for the reason
that the Judge took the case from the
jury in the lower court. The second
reversal followed a verdict of 81 900
for the plaintiff in the district court
but the higher court said the case
should have been brought against the
man who caused the arrest. The third
reversal was due to the same cause
as the first, the court had taken the
case from the jury. At the fourth
trial in the district court White was
awarded $4,000 damages and the text
book company again appealed.
White was arrested for alleged en-
bezzlement. He was acquitted of the
charge when placed on trial He
bases his suit for damages on this ar
rest. The case has been going so long
that the expenses have been accumu-
lated to a large sum. II reversal is
again made by the court there is every
indication It will follow the same route
it has the four last times.
National Life Reorganization.
James P. Hewitt, trustee of the Ma
tional Life association, lined up a
number of persons on the payroll Of
that company and dismissed them.
The process Of discharge was bust
nesslike and the column marched from
the office in quick order. The whole
thing was over with in four minutes.
Eight persons were eliminated in ad-
dition to others who had seen the
handwriting on the wall and left vol
unfairly.
III. Percival Pyle, son OF Henry
Pyle, who had served as vice presi-
dent, retired from the company. The
payroll does not now carry any of
the relatives Of the former president.
Mr. Hewitt held conference with
j. l.. Bleakly, auditor of state The
matter of economy in administration
was discussed The auditor approx
ed the reduction in the payroll made
by the trustee. 1t is said that things
are being shaped so that the auditor
may reissue the certificate to the Ma.
tional Life to operate in Iowa again.
Investigate Maternity Hospitals.
Officers for the Iowa Humane soci-
ETY. believe they have uncovered one
of the most Thoroughly organized sys-
TENS for the conduct of private ma
ternity hospitals in Des Moines to be
found in any city in this country.
The evidence secured in the inyes-
legations has been turned over to the
grand jury. The officers are conf.
dent that arrests viii follow. and the
exposure of the maternity hospital
trade will cause many Of the managers
OF these hospitals to leave the city.
1t is alleged the managers for these
hospitals, which are operated contrary
to law, have solicited trade through
the country press under promise OF
strict secrecy and guarantee of adop-
ton The officers further declare the
hospital managers are in partnership
with white slave traders for their pro
lection in the vice.

State Guard Camp.

from the war department that state
camp will be ordered for the Iowa Ma.
tional guard to be held during the
summer at Camp Dodge, a few miles
from Des Moines. To the vancouver
camp will be sent the Fifty-third, Fiji
ty-fourth and Fifty-ffth regiments.
The Fifty-sixth regiment will not go
to the vancouver camp, but probably
will have an individual camp, possibly
at Lake Okoboji.
Adjutant General Guy e. Logan has
received instructions from Washing.
ton that vancouver camp will be
held this summer at FIT. Riley, Kan,
for the field artillery. Iowa is invited
to send the battery recently organized
at Clinton to the camp. Whether the

that there is doubt whether it is prac-
teal to send 1t, 1t is said.

Eighth District Democrats.

Eighth District Democrats.
Complaints are being registered that
the Eighth district democrats are get
ting more than their share of Iowa
democratic patronage. 1t is cited
that the following plums have been
gathered in by the Eighth: Federal
attorneyship, C. n. Porter; collector
customs, Gus NN'nvyer; income tax,
]. p. McGinty; ueputy collector rev.
enue tax, j. p. Porterfield; deputy
collector revenue tax, w. ID. Perkins;
deputy United States marshal, William
Exline. And in addition to the above,
it is claimed that DR.. Reynolds is a
strong candidate for the state chair
manship and v. r. McGinnis Is out
for the governorship.
Candidate for Attorney General.
Judge E. M. Carr Of Manchester au-
thorized the announcement of his
candidacy for the nomination Of at
torney general on the democratic tick
ct. Judge Carr has served on the dis
trict court bench for several years.
Barney Reappointed Commissioner.
w. B. Barney, whose term as state
dairy and food commissioner expires
May /, has been reappointed for an.
other term by Governor Clarke. Mr..
Barney has served the state In this
capacity for four years and received
the reappointment without opposition.
The annual report of the department,
which will be issued this week, will
show that In the past year more than
400 prosecutions have been secured
by inspectors under Mr.. Barney for
violations OF the dairy and food laws
OF the state.
Candidates for State OFFICES.
Although there are not so many can
didates in the campaign this year as
there were in the campaign of 1912,
there appears to be tendency among
the 1914 candidates to file nominal
tion papers earlier than was the Gus
tom in the past. Already sixteen as
pirants for judgeship, twelve for rep.
resentative, one for senator and one
for congressman have sent in nomina-
ton papers to the secretary OF state.
W. 8. Allen believes that the ex-
pense of the primary Is keeping many
men from making the race.
