TO ESTABLISH
SUPERIOR COURT
IN IOWA FALLS

Iowa Falls, Iowa, April 2S.-(Spe-
cial.) A movement is on foot in this
city, looking to the establishment of a
superior court in Iowa Falls. This is
being done to expedite the handling
of many court matters that are now
taken care of by the district court and
often times delayed by reason of the
heavy docket in the county court.
The Community Club and city coun-
Gil are acting in conjunction in the
matter and it is proposed to provide
quarters for the new court in a new
city hall which is promised Iowa Falls
in the near future. Editor Ira A.
Nichols and II. b. Hall will represent
the Community Club in the matter.
Many cities of the size of Iowa Falls
maintain superior courts and find that
the handling of eases Is greatly facili-
tated. Cities outside of county seat
towns that have n population of four
thousand or better are privileged to
establish courts of this kind. Such
a court has jurisdiction in most cases
outside of probate matters.

What promises to be the most

action on the covenant will be tax
en-. 1t is also felt in peace con-
ference circles that the terms Of

Before that time it is hoped that
the Italian tangle will straighten

there remain important matters
still to be settled. The compro-
mise between Japan and China
over Kiao Chan and Shantung is
still pending. A decision on this
subject has. btti. expected for sew
eral days and it may be announced
today.
Other Matters Pending.
Matters dealing with the dispo-
sition Of the German cables, repa-
tNatiOn of German prisoners of
war and the future status of the
Kiel canal and questions relative
to Luxembourg are also pending and
it is believed the conference will
ind way to adjust them.
Italian Conditions.
Conditions in Italy are causing
some alarm. Very little news has
come from Rome since Premier Or
lando and his colleagues arrived
there Saturday. 1t was reported
that he would hold q council of his
ministers, but what action was tax
en- was not made public. The sem
ators from all parts of Italy held
a meeting Sunday and a committee
drafted resolutions of confidence
in the government for submission
to parliament.
At the plenary meeting of the
peace conference today, the revised
draft of the covenant Of the league
Of nations was to be presented.
This. draft xvoS mazda p,,hIic II, fhic

ferences are noted in the revised
text from that brought to America
by President Wilson last February.
1t is probable that Japan will try
to secure the granting Of her
claims for recognition of national
equality.
