The explorers found the skeleton of
the robber beside that of the mummy.

MEMBERS JEALOUS ON
LEADERSHIP PRESTIGE
Various Candidates For Gov
ernor Afraid to Advertise
Merit of Any Prospect.

Des Moines, Ia, March 6.-Activity
on the part Of candidates for gov
n in the senate to direct the de-
hberations of that body, threatens to
impede the progress of prohibition
measures for the remainder OF the
session. judging from protests that are
being voiced. Senators Francis, Allen
and Clarkson have been chosen floor
leaders by the "drys" to see that the
temperance bills desired by the steer
ing committee are passed. Some Of the
"drys' object to the proposed method
OF rushing through a program of leg
islatlon.
The rock upon which the temper
ance forces are apt to split is the
Cosson state police bill. The house
passed the measure and placed the
special agents under the direction Of
the governor. Certain senate "drys"
want it changed to the attorney gen.
eral. Others are against the measure
in any force.
Practically all OF the "drys' are
agreed that penalties and provisions
for enforcing prohibition should be
made stricter. There are several other
measures, however, such as making it
illegal to transport liquor in vehicles
and others that all are not agreed
upon.
Senator Francis has assumed the
leadership of the 'drys'' from the very
beginning OF the session. The publicity
he has gained because of it has caused
some resentment among the other
"drys'-especially those who view
themselves as g~ubernatorial timber.
