to Marshalltown, where he appeared

OF WoRKMEN's coMPENsA.
TON INSURANCE.

Des Moines, March 19.-The Iowa
senate, by vote of 20 to 10, today
defeated the Clarkson bill, which pro-
vided for the so-called Garst plan of
"state fund" insurance under the work
mans compensation act The meas
ure will be Indefinitely postponed. The

BILL WOULD HAVE
CUST0O|AL FARM
PLAN is TO HAVE IOWA WORK
OUT IDEA ALONG ENTIRELY
NEW LINES.

Des Moines March 19.-The bill fol
the administration features or the stats
custodal farm is ready for the commit
tee on board of control to report out.
If adopted Iowa will have the mos,
modern working out of the CUSTODIAN
farm idea extant and will become a
pioneer in this work. The Idea has not
part adopted for the short term men
in the District Of Columbia. Iowa Is
planning to adopt It on scale quite
different from anything tried.
One Of the features of the proposed
law under which the farm Is to be OPP
Grated is that. at the start, 1t is to be
for misdemeanants-or those given jail
sentences--whose terms are 80 days OF
more 1t will not be for the short term
men. There would be too great travel
expense for the Today prisoners from
distant parts of the state. If 1t is found
that a larger number can be received
than at first provided the board OF
control may proclaim that all who re-
ceive sentences for say GO days be re-
ccived. Then there IS provision for re-
ception of the prisoners according to
population of the counties so that the
counties near to the central farm will
not be especially favored.
The use Of the farm Is not to be for
a district but for the entire state. If
other farms are established district
ing Of the state can be made.
There is provision for paroling from
the farm on order Of the board of con-
troll, under restrictions like those which
apply to the parole hoard In it's larger
work. There is no provision at pres
ent for any pay for the prisoners at
the custodial farm for their work That
can be worked out later or according
to the wishes of the legislators
The bill provides for a superintendent
and director Of the farm and for such
assistants as will be needed. There are
clauses providing FOR punishment for
escape or assisting in escape from the
farm. Only a few buildings will be
necessary before the farm is opened
and these chiefly dormitories for the
men.

OSCEOLA OFFICE TO
STAY WHERE 1T Is

Osceola, March 19.-Uncle Sam,
through his inspectors, has decided
that the people of Osceola will get
their mail from the building now oc-
cupied for the next ten years. The
decision came the latter part of the
week, and was to the effect that the
proposition Of DR.. Bollibaugh, who
owns the building, be accepted. This
proposition, it is understood was to
the effect that the building would be
steam heated, the fixtures would be
put in first class condition, and few
minor matters would be looked after.
The building is leased for the coming
ten years.
There had been the effort to have
the postoffice moved over to the
south side of the square, and the peo-
pie of that section Of the business
center put forward many good reasons
why they should have the postoffice
located near them.
