Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Failure of the Senate to
confirm the nomination of Grover c..
Richman, as Prosecutor of Gloucester
County, was scented by the Demo
cratic minority as a Republican move
to force Governor Fielder to name a
successor to Prosecutor Summerill for
the unexpired term of n year, in
stead of a full term of five years.
Hopeful of 'electing a Governor next
fall, the Republicans would like to
have the naming of as many officers
as possible. Whether the Senate will
continue in it's refusal is doubtful, but
friends of Richman are anxious. He
resigned as assistant counsel to the
Public Utility Commission to take the
post of Prosecutor in anticipation of
6 full term.
The reappointment of Supreme
Court Justice Garrison and the nomi-
nation of Charles A. Mccormick, of
New Brunswick, as a member of the
Tenement House Board, were con
firmed, but the nomination of Walter
P. Gardner to the Court of Errors and
Appeals was held up.
Governor Fielder sent to the Senate
the nomination of Joseph E. Stricken,
of Perth -Amboy, to succeed Senator
w. Edwin Florance as Prosecutor of
M~iddlesex.
Unanimous action by the House on
a resolution by Mr.. Whitman, of At

Immediately by the Judiciary Commit
tee.
In lieu of the bill of last year abol-
ishing capital punishment, Senator
Allen introduced a measure substitute
ing life Imprisonment when so rec
commended by the jury. Otherwise
the death penalty would be exacted
whenever a verdict of first-degree
murder was returned.

Advices coming out OF the Local
Offices Of the Santa Fe railroad com
pany explained the plans of the rail
road company in the present move
ment to enter the city of st. Louis.
1t developes, according to the Fort
Madison Gem City. that the Santa Fe
and the Burlington railroads have en-.
tered into the movement Jointly and
the tracks to be constructed will be
used by those two railroads. They
will also pass over portion OF the
line, which will mean that practically
three railroads will utilize the tracks.
The Santa Fee has completed its
survey on the projected line from
Carrolton to Mexico, Mo-, and nearly
all of the right of way has been Sc
cured. It Is the plan of the railroad
company to construct a double track
system between Carrolton and Next

The Burlington now owns their own
line between Mexico and st. Louis.
which they will double track. The
Santa Fee will use this route while the
Burlington will as matter of trade
use the Santa Fee tracks between Mex
leo and Carrolton.
1t is hoped to start the actual con.
struction of the line this year, but 1t
will not be in operation until late in

Every effort will be strained to-
keep infantile paralysis from invading

many cases now prevalent in the

There is no money on hand to make
concentrated fight against the
plague in this state, according to the

the next best thing-admo the
various city governments to deal with
the conrol of the plague. The follow
ing letter has been sent out to cities

to 1t il within your power to inspect
all incoming people from New York
state and infected districts where in
fantile paralysis exists, and more es
pecially to observe If children are
present coming from infected dis
tricts.
The Iowa state board of health has
no money for bearing any expenses
though the state board of health asked
the last legislature to make such pro-
vision in senate file No. 80 by Perkins,
but the legislature did not see fit to
pass the bill Or grant the appropria-
ton.
1t take this means Of doing the best
we can to protect our fair state from
the invasion of this disease. VIII you
not interest yourselves as best you
can in regard to the incoming trains
and ascertain if possible if any are
coming from infected districts?
We will be glad to furnish You with
extra copies of our new infantile par
alysis circular if you will see that
they are properly distributed among
the people that will appreciate them
and use them.
Hoping that you will do the best yol
can to keep this disease from Iowa
am, Very respectfully,
