CREATE NEW OFFICE
BY COMPENSATION ACT
Trustees to Administer Funds to De-
pendents Should be Named
by Judges Of District.

How many district judges Of Iowa
have done their part in organizing
for the complete enforcement and
operation OF the Iowa workmen's
compensation law?
The question is raised by the de-
partment because of number of In
auiries as to what shall be done In
the matter of payment of compensa-
ton for injuries to minor. Employ
ers have written to find out If they
shall pay money direct to the minor
or to parent or guardian or what
to do with the same. This phase OF
the law seems to have escaped atten-
ton, as indicated by the many in
uiries.
Henry E. Sampson, attorney for the
department, Is answering inquiries on
this point by citing to section IA OF
the law, which provides that payment
when due to a minor or dependent Of
one physically or mentally incapaci-
tated shall be made to trustee ap-
pointed by the Judge Of the district
court for each county in the respec-
tive judicial districts" This trustee
shall make annual reports, shall re-
ceiye pay from the county on order
of the court. and shall be under bond.
A Judge may appoint trustee for
more than one county If deemed ad-
visable.
It seems from this that there should

Of Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas was finally reached late
last night after more than six weeks
elaboration.
The agreement pertains to labor
conditions only. The wage scale that
has prevailed for two years will re-
main virtually unchanged.
There was but one essential change
made in the former contract and that
change was the abolishing of the right
OF one man to call an arbitration
board. Instead three men from the
miners and three men from the mine
operators are to comprise an execu-
tive board.
The new contract will not affect the
Bache-Denman interests in Arkansas,
who have suffered the loss of four
mines recently on account of strike
on the part of the miners. The inter-
ests are not recognized by either min
ers or operators. It was asserted
that Bache-Denman interests resigned
from the southwestern operators last
spring.

land police officials are pushing a
movement to bring before the city
council legislation to widen the use
of the finger print system in the pre-

City bertillion experts propose that

the pawnbroker. BY comparing
these records with those OF known
criminals already on file, police hope
to trace stolen property and catch

Baseball Club Directors Give Com
mittee Until That Time to
Raise Money for
Club.
WILL LOSE FRANCHISE
Directors Say This 10 the Last Call
viii Turn tho Franchise Over
to the League Presi.
dent.

Thursday morning is the time limit
set by the directors Of the local base
ball club for raising the $1,000 needed
to meet the obligations incurred dur
ing the season and to place the club
on sound financial footing. Unless
the remainder Of the money called
for by the directors has been sub
scribed by that time the franchise
will be turned over to the league and
the history of organized baseball IN
Keokuk will end
This is the last ultimatum, the d.
rectors say. It is the last call and
the last warning that will be issued.
The committee appointed at the re-
cent mass meeting of fans has been
working very hard to raise the funds
that will insure baseball in Keokuk
for some time to come. Their first
efforts were met with success, for
they went first to those men who al
ways help the club when call for
money is given. After these loyal
fans had been seen, however, the
money began to come in much more
slowly and now the subscriptions are
said to be close to standstill.
The directors and members OF the
committee say that If the city loses
this franchise at this stage OF the
game that 1t will give Keokuk, known
a. the booster town" from coast to
coast, a mighty black eye. The
moment the franchise is surrendered
It will 60 over the country that the
city was unable to support club IN
league OF the lowest classification.
These men believe that If the fran
chise must be given up, and there Is
no question but that it must unless
the money Is raised by Thursday
morning. that the city will never re-
cover from the blow that will be given
its reputation.
The members OF the committee say
that although they will work as hard
as they possibly can from now until
Thursday morning, that 1t would be q
great help to them II those who are
willing to help out the club would
call them on the phone and let them
know. Call either at Mr.. Overton's
ONCE or at the Jones and company
store on Main street between Fourth
and Fifth. This Is our last chance
to hold our franchise and there Is
but one way in which It can oe held
by everyone doing his part toward
raising the money that must be had.
