Jury action. II lie probable that an In

ence OF court that he had married Miss

Ger Famine May Result.
T.. q. Wylie. rate expert Of the Greater
Des Moinos committee. on his return from
a trip east, states the opinion that there
IL great danger of a shortage OF cars for
the handling of western business as an
Indirect result OF 1he war. He points out
that already there is a congestion OF busi-
ness at seaboa2d points and that long lines
Of cars filled with grain, with no place
for the unloading. are TO be seen at
Galveston and elsewhere. He believes this
condition will become worse and as a re-
suit the many cars now idle will soon
be filled and be standing on sidings, so
thht the ordinary business OF the coun-
tgy VIII be in danger OF congestion.
Much Interest in Decision.
great deal OF interest has BEEN mani
tested In business and railroad circles
over the recent Interstate Commerce COM
mission decision on the eastern rates.
Students Of the matter here point out
that, contrary 20 general impression, the
order OF the commission il for the can
collation. OF all the proposed advanced
rates, and that what was really done was
to suggest a revision OF rates In a part
OF tho territory. So fur as rates are con-
cerned this Is all that was done. 1t is
believed that ultimately the decision will
be of much benefit TO Iowa and western
clippers.
VIII Build Into Colony.
The Milwaukee Railroad company has
located, with the consent OF the State
Board of Control. sidings into tho land
OF the state at the proposed state eplieptlc
colony at Woodward. The intent Is to
have side tracks built for the permanent
use OF the colony as well as to transport
the materials for the buildings right to
the place where they will be used.
c. A. Robbins of tho legal department
OF the state went to Iowa City last night
to start condemnation proceedings for the
first time under a new Iowa law to secure
property for the state to add to the
grounds OF the State university. 1t seems
that an attempt was made to hold up
the state and to secure more than the
property was regarded as worth. A jury
will be named by the chief justice OF the
state, OF citizens not resident OF the
county In which the proceeding Is to take
place.
Controversy for Control.
Information comes from the southern
part of the state to the coal miners of
central Iowa to the effect that an organl-
zation Is being formed among the radi-
Gals OF the unionists to effect control OF
the district organization at the next state
convention. There Is considerable
number OF the miners. chiefly the social
list element, disgruntled over the fact that
the wage question was settled last spring
without a strike or walkout or something
OF the sort. An attack is to be made on
the present officials OF the district.
