INSURANCE AGENTS ORGANIZE.
Form Political Machine to Handle Leg
islation on Insurance Subjects.

Forn Political Machine to n andie Leg.
isation on insurance Subjects.
Special TO Times Republican.
Des Mones. oct. 21.-InSurance
agents Of Iowa are in Des Moines IN
great numbers today for the purpose
of organizing a political machine TO
handle legislation on insurance sub
jects. II is one of the most repre-
sentative gatherings of the insurance
interests of the state ever held.
For a number of years there were
organizations of insurance men-gen-
orally the fire and life agents organ
lied separately for the chief purpose
of circumventing the state laws in re-
gard TO combines and agreed rates.
These organizations have been dis
banded because of the prosecution of
some of the members who overstepped
the bounds in the matter of fixing
rates and ending competition.
But now the purpose is not to evade
the laws but To have the laws fixed
up the way they ought to he. from
the stand point of the insurance inter-
ests. The Immediate cause of the or
ganiZation now is the specter of a fight
to preserve the workmen's compensa-
ton law intact so that the insurance
companies will save the business. This
was the big fight before the legiSa
ture and the insurance people are un-
willing to give up now without a
struggle.
1t is expected strong working or
saniZation will ne formed in the state
like that in many other states which
will direct the energies of the insur-
ance people in a political way.

SUPREME COURT CATCHING UP.

Des Moines. oct. 2,--The supreme
court of Iowa is nearer to being
Caught up" with its work than before
many years 1t is very much nearer to
being able TO do business at all times
just as rapidly as the lawyers will
permit than in any of its past history
In fact, it is just as close up to the
docket and filings as it can be with
convenience
For one thing, the rulings on motions
are promptly made now, and there is
seldom any delay in this matter. This
is due to the division of the court.
which gives more tiIne for each one to
prepare his opinions. great many
of the decisions are announced within
a few days or a week or two of the
time of submission. The lawyers APP
preciate this feature very much
A dozen years ago the court was be-
hind the filings and losing ground. The
enemy was running the line at
many points. Then the court took on
some active and aggressive men and
up to the time of the division of the
court it was gaining just about one
month year and had been doing it
1Of years. Now the cases are SUD-
mitted that have been Med eight or
nine months back. This is close
The very shortest time that a law
Yer can force his appeal to a hearing
is seven months. if the opposing lawyer
is taking all the time he is entitled to
for his preparation OF papers. General
ly longer time than seven months is
needed to get all the papers ready.
AT the last submission of cases, this
month, over 40 per cent of the cases
We're continued. This is because they
were not ready. The lawyers are even
further behind. titan the court. or rath

right up to their opportunities and will
delay many of the cases for one rea-
son or another.h9

Work has been started on Che first
of a group of buildings near the Catho-
lie University which. when completed
will constitute one of the most extern
sive institutions IN the world for the
higher education of sisters and woman
teachers in the Catholic Church. The
first building is to be a residence for
the Sisters of Divine Providence. 1t
is located on Bates street between 9Th

The site for the proposed women's
university is separated from the Catho-
lie University by the Baltimore and
group an expenditure of about $780,
900 will be necessitated it is estimated.
An oblong tract of rolling country
chosen as the site lends itself naturally
to a division of the buildings into two
groups, one of academic buildings ap-
preached directly from the boulevard
and the other group of community
residences for the various religious
orders.
In conjunction with both groups
there are minor divisions, one for the
faculty of the Sisters College and one
for the refectory and school of domes-
tic science and administration. In ad-
dition there will be small group of
service buildings consisting of an cleo
trio power house and stables. Around
the entire tract will be a high stone
