County Judge Demands Re-
ports From Holders of
Minors Trust Funds.
TWO CITATIONS ARE ISSUED

Registrar in Probate B. NJ. DeDeimar
IS sending out more than hundred
notices demanding that guardians of
Hchlldren and of special funds under
the jurisdiction of the county court
make immediate reports tc the judge
OF this court of their stewardship. In
most cases these guardians have failed
to make any report to the court in
more than year and in some of the
cases although handling considerable
sum of money the guardians have made
no report to the court. Notable in the
list of notices is one in which guar
dian who handled a trust fund of
$4,000 is notified to make an immedi-
ate accounting to the court. ''The
records of guardians in this court is
not at all satisfactory" said Judge
Taylor this morning. 81 have direct
ed that these people be notified to file
reports. 1t seems to be a hard matter
to get reports on guardianship matters
pending in the court. Many people ac-
cept these trusts and give bond and
then forget all about filing reports. In
some cases interested people have fled
demands with the court asking that
these guardians appear and show what
has been done with funds given into
their care and number of searching
investigations are now being arranged
for. 1t is the duty of these guardians
to file reports at least once in each
year, but less than ten per cent of the
guardians appointed observe their du-
ties until their attention is called to
the law in the case. ;,
1t was admitted by the court that in
some cases citations would be issued to
force the appearance of guardians and
the making of proper reports.

INEWLYWEDs AND THEIR BABY.
Bright Musical Event the Attraction
at the Rhode Next Sunday.

"The Newlyweds and Their Baby, ,
a musical comedy which ran for a
half year N New York and practically
the same length of time in Chicago,
will be The offerings at the Rhode next
Sunday. This jolly melange of girls,
music and fun, is founded on the in
ternationally famous cartoons of Geo.
McManus, by arrangement with the
New York World.
Aaron Hoffman and Paul West are
responsible for the book, both of whom
are we'll known authors of many big
successes, and John W. Bratton wrote
the music. The plot has to do with
the Newlyweds baby, Napoleon, who
is spirited away and midget, Major
Knott Much, who happens to be exhib-
iting in an incubator, substituted.
There is no end of merriment created
by this imposter masquerading as the
NewlyWeds baby and, O. course, the
natural result is that things are work
ed into such tangle that no one
knows just where he o. she stands.
The combined New York press agreed
that lit was the liveliest, funniest
show and contained more beauty and
color than the half dozen other current
successes in town. adv

Resolved, That all past department
commanders and post commar 1ers and
the regular representatives of Fred S.
Lowell Post who attend the coming de-
partment encampment, to be held at
Madison from June 8 to II, be in
structed to favor the adoption of a
preamble and resolutions similar to that
which this post adopts tonight, and
that they use their influence in the
adoption of resolution instructing
all who attend the national encamp-
ment at Detroit, and have a right to
vote, to use every honorable effort to
induce the national encampment to
adopt resolutions for a. congressional
act for the relief of such of our com
rades Of the old union army as are now
without country, so far as unques-
toned citizenship is concerned
RESOLVED, That Fred s. Lowell
Post requests the press of the city and
state to copy these resolutions or give
in some way their substance, believ-
ing that in that way there will be
brought about that wholesome agitation
which will right the most previous
wrong.
Many foreign born old soldiers, it
lis said, regarded themselves as citizens
and had voted ever since the war.

AS TO "EQUAL1ZING."


The Webster City Freeman Tribune
insists that the executive council IL
legally raised valuations in Iowa IN
stead of eaualizing them.
Without entering into the question VI
the legal power Of the executive couh-
ell the Freeman Tribune may be asked
what ground it has to stand on. Wheh.
in fact the executive council lowered
the assessment Of one county TO prlns
It ND to assessment Of fourth as the
standard? ;.
The Freeman Tribune will ADMIT
that raising the assessment OF one
county to bring 1t up to the level OF the
rest would not be an abuse OF power
That has been done by every executive
council in Iowa. II not in the case o.
one county. then not necessarily IN the
case of a dozen counties. And II no'
where dozen are involved. then no'
if ninety eight are involved. ana the
equalization is in itself just.
The fact is. Franklin, Webster ana
Washington all assessed themselves
higher that the executive council has
assessed the state, while Linn was tak'
en- as the average.
What objection can the freeman
Tribune urge to the Linn county as
sessment as fair basis OF equalization
for the state?
