DES MONIES, Iowa, April An
other investigation was launched at
the state house today, when. without
dissenting vote, the senate adopted
motion by Pitt, of Harrison county.
that President Moore appoint COM
mittee of five to investigate charges
made by James Pierce, publisher Of
the Homestead, against Woodworth
Clum, of Davenport, secretary OF the
Greater Iowa association, an1 me
Iowa commission to the Panama ex-
position.
The motion provides that the cem-
mittee shall make report to the sem
ate not later than April IA. and fol-
lowing it's adoption President Moore
announced that he would appoint the
committee later.
These charges have to do with the
expenditure of state funds by the
commission and Secretary Clum dur
ing the Panama-Pacific exposition.
Several reports have been made by
the commission to the executive
council, but owing to failure to ac-
count for all Of the funds, the re-
ports have never been accepted by
the state.
In making his motion, Senator Pitt
said:
II wish to call attention of the SEN
ate to certain charges which have
been made against Woodwork Clum
and the Iowa commission to the
Panama exposition, relating to the
misrepresentation Of fuEds.
"These charges have been made by
the publisher Of the Iowa Home
stead, whom some of you do not like,
but who, is financially responsible for
his statement. While you are inves-
tigating other things about the state
house, 1t is your duty to go into this.
If the carges are true, Secretary
Clum and the commission should be
required to return this money to the
state. If they are not true. James
Pierce should be made to answer to
a libelous charge"
Senator Thompson, of Des Moines
county, spoke in favor Of the motion.
Moore appointed as members of
the committee:
Senators Pitt, Of Harrison county,
chairman; Foskett. Of Page county,
Thompson of Des Moines county,
Brookhart of Washington county and

Whether this is possible. it was de-

day The task for the past two weeks
has been centered on the British and
French getting together on this prob

pledges and French promises of max.
ing the Germans pay the full cost of
