When they return here In ths fall they

During the week they have been on the

GOVERNOR GRANTS SEVERAL PAROLES
Preparations Being Made for Work
ou laterarbaa Electric Line
from Dee Moines to Mis
souri River.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 21. (Special.) A
great many calls have been received by
the state officers for the new drainage laws
of the state, or rather the bills which have
not yet become laws, ss the governor has
not taken up the subject and has some
time yet in which to decide whether to sign
them or allow them to die without his sig
nature. The big drainage bill will be op
posed before the governor, but It was
known that this would be the case when
the-legislature passed It and that It would
be Impossible to prepare) any' bill that
would not meet with bitter opposition in
some places. But the property owners In
a number of counties have met and con
sidered the bill and are forwarding to the
governor petitions In support of the bill.
Unless the governor should have It pointed
out to him that there was some serious
defect In the bill or that to make It a law
would be a radical departure In some way
from the policy of the state, he will surely
sign It. But the Inquiries received Indicate
that the preparations to fight the bill are
under way. There 'Is also much call for
the other drainage bills, especially the one
which proposes changing the law of Iowa
In regard to surface waters and their dis
position, a bill which Is regarded by some
as one likely to cause much annoyance.
Paroled by the Governor.
The following persons have Just been re
leased from the state penitentiaries on
parole after serving Short terms: James
and Edward Cahart, Guthrie county, break
ing and entering a building; James O'Brien,

Graves' Defense Shaken.
In the Graves murder case today the de
fense was somewhat shaken by testimony
In rebuttal of the statements of the accused
man to the effect that the deceased wife
wsa aubject to eplleptlo fits. His two sons
alone corroborated him In this statement,
while Mrs. Graves' daughter and numerous
persons who were Intimate with the family
denied there ever were any such fits. Tes
timony was . taken today showing that
Graves was not at the house, and this la
regarded as the strongest testimony yet
furnished In regard to ths case. The testi
mony of his associates at the store where
he worked corroborated his own as to the
fact that he was at the store at the time
the state claims he Is alleged to have com
mitted the crime. The case remains one of
much mystery because of this conflicting
testimony and the failure of any satisfac
tory explanation of the ease.
