IOWA REVIEW BILL
FAILS OF PASSAGE
Soldiers and Sailors Reunion
Believed Lost Through Re-
fusal of Senate to Amend
Ratcliff Bill,

Des Moines, April 21.-Iowa soldiers
and sailors probably have lost the big
reunion and review planned for Des
Moines by the Ratcliff bill, as amended
by the house.
The bill originally provided an APP
preparation of $4,000 for invalid mem
bers Of the 16Sth regiment to go east
and take part in the reception given
that regiment in New York.
The house amended the bill by in
creasing the appropriation to $4,000
and providing that the expense of all
Iowa men be paid for a big review in
Des Moines following the return of the
16Sth regiment.
The record of the senate clerk today
shows that the bill came back and was
referred to the appropriation commit
tee April -. 1t was brought out Sat
urday night, and the senate refused
to concur in one of the house amend
ments which would have the effect of
killing the bill IL no further action was
taken. Further search is being made.
