James C. Davis OF Des Moines and
formerly OF Keokuk yesterday ad-
dressed the state legislature relative
to the request of the roads for an adj
vance of one-half cent in passenger
fares. Presenting a resolution, he re-
marked that it contained signatures
in such large numbers and OF per-
sonnet that would have been impos-
sible to obtain five years ago. He
pointed to this as representing, a
change in sentiment and of desire
on the part OF the people of the state
to recognize the right of railroads to
an existence There is no question
but that Mr.. Davis views are shared
in by majority of the people of the
state. 1t is very natural for all of Us
to want to get a special service as
cheap as possible, but the best ser
vice is that which returns a reason
able profit.

Alleged Trammel Net Thieves Are
Being Held in County Jail un-
der Bond Of $500
Each.
QUARREL OVER sPo1Ls
Fight Over Division Of Net Leads to
Their Arrest, According to
Confession, Police
Say.

Taylor Ward and William Smith
two Burlington negroes who. the po
lice say, have confessed to the theft
| OF trammel net from Miller broth
ers of this city on the night of March
10th, waived preliminary examination
in the superior court this morlins
and in lieu OF $500 bond each, are
being held in the county jail. COUNTY
Attorney e. w McAianus expected tc
file informations against them in the
district court either this afternoon OIL
tomorrow morning. Their case will
not come before the grand jury, Mr.
McManus said.
According to the confession said to
have been made by Ward and Smith
the apprehension of the two negroes
was brought about when one of them
"squealed" to the Burlington police
after the negroes had auarreled over
the division of the net on an island in
the river near Burlington.
In the confession, one of the men is
said to have told the local police that
after they had stolen the net here on
the night of the tenth, they carried II
in a sack to house in Rag. Alley.
The next morning they boxed 1t up
and that night took it to the Wells
Fargo express company, carrying II
there through the alleys. 1t was ex.
pressed to a fictitious name, William
Jones, at Burlington. The name given
by the one who expressed it was joe
Franklin.
After they had expressed the net
the two men caught a freight train
for Burlington The Monday follow
ing their arrival there. they secured
the net from the express company
and took it to the shack in which
they had been living on the island.
The problem of dividing the spoils
then came up. The only solution to
this problem they could reach was to
cut the net in to. Quarreling over
this. they engaged in fight. The
one who was whipped left the island
on the first opportunity for Burlington
where he told the police there Of the
theft.
After communicating with the Keo,
kuk police the two negroes and one
other Burlington negro who Is believ-
ed now to be innocent, were arrested
and brought here. A confession that
is certain to lead to their CONVICTION
is said to have been obtained by Chief
Kenney. A reward of $50 for the ar
rest and conviction OF the thieves was
offered by one of the owners OF the
net. Claude Miller.

JONES INTRODUCES:
LABOR MEASURES
Seeks to Curb. Employers Who
Unjustly Withhold Wages Due
to Workers.

That workmen who are compelled
to unnecessarily wait for wages due
them for work performed shall be
compensated by the employer for the
time they are waiting is the sense
of most important bill introduced
last Monday in the senate by Senator
Jones Of st. Louis county,
Briefly the bill provides that "the
wages earned and unpaid at the time
of discharge shall become due and
payable Immediately, whether such
employment is by the hour, day, week
or month, and each employe may COL
Ilect wages in the sum agreed upon for
each ~day~-his employer is in default
until full and complete settlement is
made"
Another section provides that those
employees not having contracts or
those who shall resign their employ
ment shall have their wages become
due and payable five days after ter
minating their services, and those en-
ploying who fail to pay or refuse to
pay the wages due, such wages shall
continue from the date of quitting or
resignation at the same rate as if the
employment were continuing.
Strikers or those who seek to OBJ
tain unfair advantage under the act
are in effect barred from it's benefits.
The second bill which has caused
considerable comment in the senate
provides that Corporations maintain
ing camps for laborers shall supply
facilities for bathing and washing"
1t further provides that no extra
charge shall be made Of the workers
by reason of the installation of facil-
tiles for bathing and washing. Any
person or corporation who shall fail
to comply with the provisions of the
act shall be fined not to exceed 500.
