was running behind. He thought
the merchant marine possibly was
doing somewhat better than paying
expenses.
A report is being prepared and vail
be made public, the chairman said.
Data available now. he added, indi-
Gated q steady increase in expenses.
Costs for ship construction are fall
ling, he said, aItho the twenty
six passenger and cargo vessels
being built by the board will mean
total outlay Of about s140,o0o,0Oo. 8
Many items necessarily charged
off by the board, the chairman de-
clared. would be balanced by a prl-
3vate business concern. Work for other
government departments was gener-
ally without pay. he added, there be-

Des Moines. Nov. 27.--In the mat
ter Of code revision the trend OF opin-
ion now appears to be favorable to
special session. Now that the legis-
lators are studying what they are up
against, it begins to look like a mon
umental task, this revising the code
and attending to the regular session
legislation.
The special Joint committee OF the
house and senate on a plan for code
revision appointed at q conference
held here some ten days ago was in
Des Moines for it's first session FRI
day. No course of action was decided
or but the committee agreed to come
back Dec. 3 and invite some OF the
old timers who have had exper!ene
in previous code revision, to meet
with the committee and give the
presentday solons the advantage OF
their counsel.
John Y. Stone. OF Glenwood, former
attorney general. member Of the
Fourteenth general assembly which
did the first job OF codifying the Iowa
laws and later made commissioner Of
the present code. will be urged to at-
tend this Dec 9Th conference. H. O..
Weaver, of Wapello county, and A.
B. Funk, formerly OF Dickinson
county but now Industrial commits
sioner. who were members OF the
black code" assembly. will also be
urged to attend. Walter Ramsay,
present secretary Of state, experienced
as clerk of the Iowa house and Jacob
Van Der Ses, an expert on code mat
ters, will be invited to give the legis-
lators the benefit Of their experiences.
1t is said that In the Fourteenth
and Twenty sixth general assemblies,
code revision was undertaken along
with the regular session work and
the legislators couldn't make the
grade. AT the end of several weeks
they gave up the Job as hopeless and
postponed action on code revision fo1
q special session.
There will probably be another
meeting OF the committee after, the
December 9Th session, said ~. B.
Weaver, chairman OF the committee,
before a final decision is reached. y i
Fridays meeting was devoted large
" to the consideration of>the ques-
tion as to whether or NOT, If code re-

Muscatine, Nov. 27.-Claims arising
thru loss from theft on freight ship

Rock Island railroads entire revenue

formation received at the local
freight office.
In fact the claims are now amount
ing to ten times the revenue derived
from these shipments, the bulletin re-

months period which recently ended.
freight claims amounting to S21,66l.4o
were paid out on these shipments,
while during the same period, the
revenue collected aggregated only ST.

+ The enormous loss clearly indicates
that the proper attention is not be-

possession of figures covering claims
paid for losses sustained on this d!vi-
sion. 1t is evident that the employees
of this division are as much at fault

KEITH COLLINS SLIPPERY.
Burlington Mail .Rpbber Drops From
Siuht-TracedNt Nebraskag I

Burlington Mail -Rpbber Drops From
Sight -Traoed'to Nebraska.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Nov. 2f.-News OF
Keith Collins, the ex- army aviator
who is badly wanted in connection
with the. Burlington mail car robbery
here on the night OF Nov. 1s, which
reached this city late yesterday,
created a distinct shock. That he
could have gbeen 50 near three days
after, the robbery and not be caught,
caused much wonderment, but when
it is recalled that 1Collins' connection
with the robbery was not known TO,
the public for days, and the shrewd-
ness with which the Poffenbarger boys
protected Collins, tends to explain
how Collins made his getaway.
Six federal agents were In Co1url-
bus. Neb., Thanksgiving Day looking
up the Collins trail, which was then
ore week old.
Collins, according to the story
which reaches here, was In Columbus
on Wednesday, following the robbery
on Saturday night. He was recognize
ed there by Union Pacific railroad
men with whom he had once worked
as fireman on the Union Pacific
railroad. No one at that time suspect
ed Collins of having been connected
with the robbery.
Collins was carrying two suit
cases. Rumor has it that Collins car
ried two suit cases full Of money
away from here. Collins visited his
sister, Mrs. Eottie Laughlin in Col
umbus and gave her $50 in $40 bills,
which is the denomination OF the
currency stolen In the robbery.
Collins employed a taxi driver to
take him to Fullerton, Neb. The
taxi driver says Collins took only
one suit case with him from Column
bus. He told the taxi driver his
mother was in Fullerton and that she
was dying.
From Fullerton Collins went to st.
Edwards, where it is said he has a
brother living. There all trails were
lest. A search of the sisters home in
Columbus failed to uncover any Of
the stolen money.
