STATE PURCHASES
CUs70D|AL FARM
LARGE TRACT OF LAND IN POLK
COUNTY Is BOUGHT FOR
SHORT TERRIERS.
WOULD ABOLISH JAILS
Attorney General cosson's Plan IS 70
Have Similar Acreage in Eaen
Corner of State and to Send
Offenders There.

A contract to buy about SUI acres
of the Flynn farm, located IN roih
county, was recently signed py Tue
state Of Iowa. The land will be usea
for the largest of the five CUSTODIAN
farms authorized by the last Legislature
to care for first and short term prison.
ers of the state.
The tract which the state pousht
comprises the best half Of the FLYNN
farm. All of the farm buildings are on
it and ninety acres are IN TIMBER
The tract lies along the north side OF
the Fonda branch of the Rock Is
land railroad, and it is about a mile
west of Give station. The state VIII
nav an even 5000 an acre for the lano,
and it will take exactly 1872 acres. Inc
purchase price thus is $l56 ,4Oo. buiAu'
ings estimated to be worth $6o,UVV pe-
come the property OF the state by the
transfer.
The law under which the purchase
was made provides for but one farm OF
the sort, and it is to be used FOR the
Incarceration of Jail prisoners, Attor-
ney General Cosson says.
Would Abolish jaifs-
The coming legislature will be asked
to authorize the purchase or -FOUR more
custodial farms, one in each corner OF
the state. When this system is WORKING
the attorney general would, so tar as
possible, abolish the jails, make the
minimum sentence for mlsdemeanor
thirty days, and send offenders to the
custodial farms to work out their SEN
fences.
The states contract is binding on
the condition that the Milwaukee road
place a sdetrack at the farm, ana an
agent of the board of control went TO
Chicago last night to open negotiations
with the Milwaukee to that end.
May Build Brick Plant.
The board of control needs only
authorization by the legislature to in
stall state prisoners on the tract, bulld
brick plant there, and manufacture
enough brick to supply all the states
official wants. The land purchased last
week contains heavy deposit OF shale
which experts have declared is excel
Tents for brick-making purposes. 1t is
considered likely that a brick plant Will
be established first-probably next
spring, and that the rest Of the build
ings will come some time later. 1t is not
unlikely that the legislature will be
asked to authorize the use Of prison
ers in making brick there during the
coming summer.
Farm Long in View.
The state board of control has had
it's eye on the Flynn farm for some
time. When it was considering sites for
the state epileptic colony, ten day
option on the farm was secured by the
board Then the interurban railroad
decided it couldn't run cars to the
farm every hour, and the chance to sell
the farm to the state was gone.
When the custodial farm is in COM
plete operation it will be able to care
for several hundred prisoners, provid-
ing outdoor work for them and clean
healthful living quarters 1t is the
states plan to farm the tract, just as
any other land is farmed, using the
prisoners committed to its warden tC
do the farm urudgery.

It is not considered that this condi-

ers of property to hold up deals until
the war tax has been abandoned.
Nevertheless, the dollar transfer
has become so generally popular that
there is bound to be considerable frlc-
ton until dealers in land become re-
conciled to the changed conditions.
The change will allow the comput-
ing of one statistical item that has
not been discoverable : zee the 81
transfer came into popularity-the ap-
proximate business really done in Of
tumwa realty in a given time. With
between As and IS per cent OF the
transfers heretofore naming the NOM

sible even to approximate how much
money changed hands in the move
ment of Ottumwa real property.
The tax on warranty deeds, which
will be in the form of a stamp levy,
will be so cents on the first $500,
and so cents on each additional $500.
The stamps will be on sale at the
county recorders office, according to
present intentions.
Fully so per cent of the transfers
included in this total are OF the 81
variety, according to tabulations on
this page made during the last month.

CHARGE MANSLAUGHTER.
A. w. Simpson to be Tried as Result
of Drowing of Two Women
On May 27, 1912.

The drowning in the Potoma: on
the night of Efay 81, 1912, of Sarah
f. Nielsen and Bessie Halle, after a
collision between the motorboat Lotus
and the steamer Angler, was recalled
Yesterday in Criminal Court No. !, IN
Washington, when Arthur W, Simp-
son, az years old, ccal agent, was
put on trial before Justice Gould 6 nd
a Jury, charged with mansIaughter.
Simpson was indicted nearly year
ago.
Simpson was the owner Of the Lo-
tus. He and four men and the Two
women had been on pleaaTr" trip
,lown the river to Msrshall Hall The
collision occurred on the Way back tn
Washington. The men were rescued,
but both women went under before
aid could reach thenr.
The charge that drinking and ca
rousing were going on board the 10
tus was made by Assistant United
States Attorney Hawken in his open
ing statement to the jury. He said
that the government was prepared 10
produce witnesses to prove that Sim
son and his guests were EsrlnKlhg
heavily while they were at MarShaii
Hall, and that the carousing kept up
on the way home.
Prosecutor Hawken also declarel
that the government would prove
that when darkness came Simpson
failed to have lights displayed on the
Lotus. When the captain of the An
gler firdt sighted the Lotus ac-
cording to Prosecutor Hawken, ne
thought it was a large bulk OF DRIFT
wood.
Discovering that he was approach
ing q craft.the captain Of the Angler
signalled the vessel in darkness, fr1dl-
eating it's course in passing. The sig
nal was ignored and the two crafts
came together with a crash. 1t Is
charged that Simpson was guilty o.
negligence and Indifference.
