Justice Of Iowa Supreme Court Has
Filed Suits Against Two Des
Moines Newspapers. =

DES MONIES. Aug. 27-Echoes of
the late campaign appeared in district
court in Des Moines today when Jus.
tice Ben l. Salinger of the Iowa SUI
preme court filed eight damage suits
OF $4,000 each against the Register
and the Capital.
The justice charges that the Regis
ter its publisher, Gardner Cowles, and
its editor, Harvey Ingham, damaged
him 100000 worth by imputing that
he obtained a place for former State
Senator Arthur Savage. of Adair, with
the Rock Island. and that he interced-
ed with the Rock Island in behalf of
the former senator. Salinger asks
$4,000 from the Capital because, he
says, that in an editorial the newspa-
per accused him of seeking to evade
work by asking the last legislature to
name an additional supreme court JUS
tice.
He also claims the editorial accused
him of getting sleeping quarters from
the state without charge in its refer
ence to the alleged practice of some
supreme court justices in sleeping in
the state house.
