TINE TO FRAME
LAWS IN PUBLIC
GOVERNOR ADVISES HIS COL
LEAGUES THAT SECRECY
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED,

Madison, Wis, Nov. IA plea for
greater responsiveness by legisla
lures to the popular will with sug.
gestion as to the part a governor
should bear in bringing this about
was made here today by Governor F.
M. Byrne of South Dakota. He spoke
before the governors conference
which has been in session since Tues
day. His address, followed a deus
sion on extradition problems led by
Governor S. v. Stewart of Montana.
"Of course, recommendation of the
governor he said, will always be
treated as the legislature sees fit The
only pressure he can bring to bear is
through the influence Of public opin-
ion. The time has come to bring leg
islation out of secret committee rooms,
to give the people opportunity to see
the process of law making and to
judge the motives that prompt action
for or against measures and policies"
Governor Stewart told of the diff
,culties of administering extradition
laws between states. He said that
cases of the notority of the Thaw
case We're rare, and owing to the time
available for investigation, less liable
to involve a governor in error than
the usual run of humber affairs.
Governor Stewart said the system
left the way open for injustice through
the. connivance of dishonest prosecu-
tors or officials affected by bias or
just plain incompetency.
The third discussion Of the day was
led by Charles R. Miller, governor
of Delaware. It's subject was .Uni-
formity of laws fixing the conditions
to be met by foreign corporations be-
fore doing business in state"

SKULL CRUSHED

sheriff left for the scene of the crime
at once. The dogs we're taken to the
spot where the car was found
and took up two trails. One led
toward Hedrick and the other
started in a direction Of Highland
Center, bringing up at the store Of B.
L. Denny at that place. The sheriff
has been working on the CASE most Of
the day, going from Hedrick to Ollie.
Denny Store Robbed.
The Denny general store at High
land Center was broken into some
time after 1880 OF II O'Clock Tues
day night and the opinion has been
expressed that there may be a connec-
ton between the two events. The
glass in the front door at the Denny
store was broken to admit the rob-
Der or robbers and the lock torn off
the real entrance for their exit. Mr..
Denny states that his loss included
knives in stock, a number Of sweaters,
several pairs of overalls and a Quanti-
ty Of shirts and suspenders. A lunch
was also eaten from the groceries
kept in the stock. The Highland Cen
ter postofice adjoins the store
but nothing was bothered there and
neither was the safe in the building
disturbed, although some small change
was taken from the cash drawer. The
hounds, when brought to Highland
Center seemed to take up a trail lead
ing from the Denny store to the Mil
waukee depot and on down the tracks
through Rutledge to the Milwaukee
crossing here and then down the
Rock Island tracks to the union depot
in Ottumwa where it vas lost. An
other taken by the dogs along the
country roads leading to Ottumwa did
not result in anything Undertaking..
