MEASURE EXCITES UNEXPECTED DEBATE
House Hears Some Arguments Against
Present Form of Proposed Law
and Then Commits It to
Jndletary Committee.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 15.-(Speclal.) The
bill to amend the extradition laws of the
state of Iowa so as to cover th esse of
Mrs. Dyo of Boone, who Is wanted for I
murder In South Dakota, came before the
housu today, but after discussion the mem
bers reached tho conclusion that It was
too Important a measure to be passed with
out a great deal of deliberation In com
mittee, and It was sent to the Judiciary
committee to be considered there. The bill
provides for th extradition of persons who
are accused of committing treason or fel
onies In other states, even though the per
son has not been in the states where they
are accused. It contains a proviso that
other states shall enact similar laws. The
bill was called up Just before noon in th
house by Mr. Kendall, chairman of the
Judiciary committee of the house and ltg
points presented. It was Intended to apply
to this particular caBO of Mrs. Dye, who Is
accused of sending polsonexl candy to a
woman at Pierre, but also to apply to all
similar cases In the future. A number of
cases were cited where It would apply, and
the weakness of the present law has long
leen recognlied. In the afternoon M. L.
Temple of Clarke delivered an address In
opposition to tho bill In Its present form.
In which he suggested that Instead of mak
ing It apply to treason and felony It apply
to cases of homicidal Intent, pointing out
that It was so broad that Injustice might
come through Its operation. Aa soon as
he had finished, a motion to send to the
Judiciary committee was carried, since It
became evident that the meaaure would
call forth a long debate.
Council ninfTs Present Case.
The delegation of the members' of the
Council Bluffs Commercial club appeared
before the appropriations committee this
afternoon to make an argument In opposi
tion to the removal of the school for the
deaf from Council Bluffs, as urged by the
members of the Association of Deaf Mutes
of Iowa. The committee had arranged for
a meeting "especially to hear what the
Council Bluffs people have to say on the
subject. The delegation put In the day at
work among the members on the subject,
and this afternoon presented tho matter tn
an able and convincing way. The com
mittee denied that there Is any reason for
the removal, that the grounds are -ample
and sufficient additional land can be pur
chased cheaply, and stated that the eleo
trlc line will very soon be In operation to
afford a method of reaching the school.
The Council Bluffs people also showed the
expenslveness of the proposed removal as
Indicated by the bill providing for removal,
none Docking I Tabooed.
Tha house pasned a bill to forbid docking
horses In Iowa. The committee, on animal
Industry has reported adversely to he bill,
but a minority report favored th bill. Th
minority report was submitted and then an
effort wa made 'to amend the bill by at
taching to It a provision in relation to high
checking of horses, but the speaker ruled
this out The bill then passed 68 to 13. Dur
ing the course of the debate, an attack waa
made on the agent cf the American Hu
man Bociety, who had been at work for
the bill, by accusing her of representing
certain firms in Chicago engaged In horse
docking and declaring that the purpose of
the bill was to prevent competition In Iowa,
A bill was passed to give the same ex
ception to unmarried widows of Spanish
American war veterans that are given to

trol of the mine inspectors was discussed
