cases. which the government has been
giving to the county clerks and super
Tor court clerks, will have to be turn
ed back to the county, according TO
general of Iowa, and the decision of
the United States supreme court IN a
test case from California. The ruling
Is that the law which requires ac-
counting for all fees must be obeyed,
and that the clerks salary is consic-
cred the proper compensation for all
such work.
Curtis M. Fart, clerk OF the district
court, received notification from John
J.. Bleakley, auditor OF state, and j.
F. Wall, that all fees from January l..
1914, must be turned into the county.
Mr.. Hart has contended that the hal:
given the government should belong
to the clerk.

I'm view Of these authorities am
Of the opinion that even though our
present statutes no longer flx the Of
nee of clerk in naturalization matters.
yet under the general provisions re-
quiring the clerk to account, he Is re-
quired to account to the county for
hoy ~ n Of
which the federal laws permit him to
retain
High Court Agrees.
This is the view taken by Mr.. Rob
bins At subsequent times other rul-
ings were made contrary to this view
but Mr.. Robbins stood firm on his In
depreciation or the, law. It was de-
cided to hold matters up until the 81
preme court decision came. This
proved complete vindication for the
Iowa assistants ruling. On January
5, the decision in Mulveney vs. San
Francisco was handed down.
"The salary 1t provides is declare!
to be in full compensation for all SER
vices rendered" the supreme court
decided. And 1t is provided that
every oficer shall pay. all moneys
coming into his hands as such officer,
no matter from what source derived
or received. into the treasury Of the
city or county"
It is construed by the Iowa oflicials
on the strength OF these two rulings
that all county clerks and superior
court clerks Will hand over their hall
OF the fees in the naturalization cases
to the county treasurer. The ruling
will date back to Jan. l, 1914, 1t IS
stated.

Crown Prince Frederick William,
south of the Forest of ArgOnne.
t is probable, according to ex-
pertS. that the Crown Prince has
been unable to find a safe line OF
retreat. The ArgOnne district is a
difficult mountainous region with
out roads and the Crown Prince
would be compelled to move
either northeast or northwest. In
