highway commission and things have
changed since the Thirty fifth general
assembly when the commission was re-
organized and given power. 1t will
be recalled that the president of the
River to River road and the president
OF the White Pole road appeared arm
In arm one day before house commits
tee when the highway bin was being
considered and severely criticized II
and advised against the creation Of a
highway commission at Ames with
power to do things. But the commis-
sion has made good and now both OF
these presidents are giving loyal sup
| port to the commission in :heir respec-
tive newspapers. While an effort was
made in the Thirty sixth general as
sembly to repeal the commission law
it ended only in making the law bet
ter; and it is certain that no further
agitation of the subject will be given
| and the next legislature will not stop
| to worry over the subject. The orig
inal purpose of the creation of the
highway. commission. so it was stated
at the time, was to lay well the foun-
dation for good roads in Iowa and to
get the work started right, leaving

became fierce fighter for the right
and had a reputation of being stubborn
and unyielding: but he approached
every subject with a sincere desire to
inform himself fully before deciding
and he was usually found on the right
side. He was an early agitator for
the abolition of the free pass on rail-
roads. He could not be considered IN
any sense railroad batter but he
believed that the free pass was de-
moralizing in politics and in the rail
road business. He always refused ~
accept pass when he was in public
office. He often said that the most OBJ
jectionable use Of the free pass was by
district judges. He had no idea that
ne would by himself and at that time
secure law abolishing the free pass
when he first introduced a bin to that
effect. but he afterwards said that he
expected 10 start the movement and 70
induce some discussion. Great credit
is due him for being pioneer in this

OF OTHER GIRLS AT MORRISON
Besides the regular cabaret girls
for singing and dancing and tickling
bald-headed customers under the
chin, the Hotel Morrison has had
from 20 to 80 other girls working at
earning their living another way, &C
cording to an affidavit which has
done to city officials from Dimitr
Joanowici, former head waiter Of the
hotel
my orders from Harry Moir, the
manager, were that when these girls
failed to pay for their drinks it was
my business to o. K their checks"
said Joanowici to Day Book re-
porter. 1.-THE girls roomed at the
hotel and came to work late after
moons and evenings.
"They sat at tables eating and
drinking and keeping their eye out
for any man who was lonely and
looking for company. They were not
loud in their behavior except some
times toward midnight, and in the
early hours of morning when some of
them had plenty of drinks they would
cut up lively"
Connections of Harry Moir, man
ager of Hotel Morrison, with the po-
lice and with City Hall have been
much discussed since Miss Ruth
Crist, a 20-year-old runaway girl
from GAINESVILLE, o., answered the
charge of soliciting by statement in
morals court that drinks were sold in
Moir's place till o'clock in the morn
ing and the going is fast. Before the
Crist case is ended the Joanowici aft
davit may play part in court.
Joanowici says he used to be head
waiter in the Ritz Carlton in London
and he went to work for Moir after
serving as captain of walters in the
Congress hotel cafe and in the Col
lege Inn. He said:

havier of the guests because it might
hurt the reputation of the place. In
stead of being alarmed, Mr.. NOR told
me he wasn't running a Sunday
school.
Let them go as far as they like
he said. Let any good looking girl
work here if she brings in plenty of
business.
Don't be afraid of the police;
are bunch of cattle, was Mr..
8 remark when expressed
.us'r that we were going too far"
These statements of Joanowici
have all been put into his affidavit.
It's main points about late drinking
and orgies at the Fox Trot club in
Hotel Morrison are backed by the aft
davit of Mrs. Cecilia B. Wilcox of
SOL Kenwood, Thompson political
worker authorized as morals in
spector, without pay. She resigned
last week because her report was
tagged, ditched and suppressed in
City Hall pigeon holes. The further
she went among department officials
trying to find blame for no action the
more of passing the buck she met.
It looked desperate. She resigned.
Since these charges that Harry
Moir is a favorite of the police were
made last week, Capt. Morgan Collins
has for the first time since Chief
Healey placed him in. charge of the
loop district personally been in NOR
ais court pushing prosecution of loop
