AGREE AND DISAGREE
Some Points Of vaseetomy Law in
Dispute Between Judges and Attor.
ney General But Statute Is Dead
Nevertheless,

Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 25.-The three
judges Of the federal court agree with
Attorney General Cosson as to the
nullity of the Iowa law for the non
sexing Of criminals convicted twice of
fe!onies; but they do not agree with
MIN as to the reason for this, nor
agree among themselves.
The attorney general held the law
bad because of it's being ex post facto;
the federal judges because it is bill
of attainder. All of which fails to ex-
plain to the average reader.
Mr.. Cosson held that because the
law contemplated applying the oper-
alton Of vasectomy to all convicts who
had twice been convicted and these
convictions might have been long be-
fore the law was passed, it was void.
Anyway it didn't apply now.
Judge Mcpherson scouts this theory,
but he and his associates hold that the
operation is a denial of neutral right
of a person. and therefore a punish
ment, and it is to be inflicted without
a trial or any proper hearing, and this
denial was violation Of the constitu
ton or bill of rights.
Judge Smith agreed as to the law
being bad but refused to subscribe to
the reasoning presented and interest
ing historical discussion of his asso-
GATES
The only way in which the attorney
general appeared in the case was to
protest against the jurisdiction of the
court, since he had held the law not to
apply, and nobody is proposing to ap
ply it. and nobody is injured or likely
to be. But the court reminds him
that there may be other officials to
follow who will think differently. The
court also intimates that Cosson's
opinion isn't binding, but Cosson could
nearly prove that so long as he is at
torney general it will go.
But the so-caled sterilization law
completely vanishes. 1t is the second
one tried. the first one not having
enough vitality to stand up for even
getting into court. Its death is a great
relief to the board of parole and the
heads of state institutions. In fact
some of them vowed they would quit
rather than enforce this particular
law.

Dubuque, June 25.-Mystery sur
rounds the Whereabouts of Carl and
Hjelmar Rosenquist, aged and Z
years, respectively. They have been
missing since Monday and their par
ents are frantic.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Rosenquist,
parents Of the missing children, reside
at No. II First street. The father is
employed at the Milwaukee shops, the
mother occasionally working out,
which was the case on Monday. When
the mother left home Monday morning,
the elder of the boys told her they
would take their toy wagon and go to
the Mulgrew ice house and pick up
some pieces Of ice. She told them it
was coed idea. Upon her return
home in the evening, an older sister
who was left in charge of the house
reported the lads had not been home to
dinner, nor had she seen anything of
them since morning. Search was
started but to no avail and altho the
police have been notified and have
prosecuted search, no clew to the
whereabouts of the youngsters has
been unearthed.
The mother believes the children
either are drowned or have been sealed
up in a banana car of which there
are many on the sidings near the Null
grew ice house and been carried out
of the city. The puzzling phase of the
case is the whereabouts of the childs
express wagon. In the event of
drowning OF being Inadvertently
shipped from town the wagon likely
would be found.

The city council at Monticello met
last night when NJ. Tschirgi & Sons,

Ehem and the council ordered the speci-
tfioattons prepared and bids advertised

The moment this Is done it is GER
tain the property owners, not to be

makes a ruling. If this step is taken

Mr.. Tschirgi has figured out the cost
to the property owners at Monticello
and he said today that it had resolved
itself into purely mathematical prob

will be about two cents square foot.
He figures that a person owning prop
erty on an improved street will pay
$2o0.51 for the paving and property
owner $50 feet distant will be assessed
S66.94 for an Improvement that does no
good. The nearer a property owner is
to an improvement the more he will
have to pay and the farther away the
less he will be assessed. In some in
stances at Monticello there will be
no assessment against an owner be-
cause his lot happens to be a few
