J. H. M'CONLOGUE ELECTED PRESIDENT
Dulintfne I Chosen as Xrxt Year's
.Meeting; I'lnee I'npers on "lu
nnnltr a Defense" and
"Insular Tariff."
The seventh annual meting of the Iowa
State liar association nt Council Bluffs was
brought to a close last evening by a trip
to Lake Manawa, where the visiting law
yers were the guests of the Council Bluffs
bar and where the change from tlie swelter
ing heat of the opera house to the cool
brectes of '.the Uk was a pleasing finale
to a moat successful meeting. "White the
attendance t,tile year was not as large as
had been anticipated, the general opinion
Is that It was the most representative of
any session of the state association held
yet. Bcforo adjourning the visiting law
yers passed a vote of thanks to the mem
bers ot the local .association, for the splen
did manner In which they had been enter
tained and their comfort generally looked
after.
The election of oncers' held nt the morn
ing session resulted as' follows: I'rcsldent,
J. H, McContogue, Mason City; vice presi
dent, H. M. Haines, Orlnnell; secretary,
Sam S. Wright, Tipton: treasurer, Oeorge
F. Henry, Dcb Moines. The selection by
the cxocutlve committee of Dubuque as the
place for next year's meeting on July 15
and 16 was approved. These were elected
delegates to Ihc Amerlran Bar .associa
tion: A. K. Swisher, Iowa City; J. H. Mc
Conlogue, Mason City; W. D. Eaton, Osage.
The feature of the morning session was
tho address by Judge Smith Mcl'hcrson of
the United States court on "The Insular
Tariff Cases," In which he gave an ex
haustive review of the recent decision of
the United States supreme, court and de
fended the majority opinion of Justice
Brown. The address was listened to with
intense Interest by the distinguished audi
ence of lawyers and was much commended.
Insanity as n Defense.
At the close of Judge McPhcrson's ad
dress E. M. Carr read a technical, but In
teresting, paper on "Insanity as a De
fense to Crime." Among other things ho
said:
It is the reason of man which makes him
accountable for his actions and his de
privation of reason which acquttH him of
crime. Tho act of the body without tho
concurrence of the mind Is not a criminal
act. These general principles are clear and
easily understood, but their application
In some cases becomes a most difficult
problem. There are as many grades of
mentnl capacity as there are shades of
light and no one can say to a certainty
In all cases Just where responsibility ends,
and -unfortunate inurmuy is aione re
sponsible for acts otherwise criminal. In
juries. Inflicted hy the legally Insane, have
ever been considered by civilized men the
same as though they were caused ,by some
calamitous accident. While this Is true, und
while I sincerely trust that no thought
or word of mine may ever limit or Impair
any humane rule, based Upon these defects
of human nature, yet I cannot overlook the
abuses which' cluster about thd tense
of Insanity.. In cases, of unquestionable
guilt Is Interposed as a last resort, and
It is also used as an excuse by Juries
for the acquittal of criminals who have
public sympathy or a manufactured public
sentiment on their side.
Thu afternoon session was devoted to the
discussion' of the report of the committee
on law and reform and routine matters.
The recommendation ot the committee
that such statutory amendment and leg
islation be adopted and enacted as will
provide for a verdict ot less than twelve
Jurors In a trial of civil causes was re
jected by a vote ot 43 to 16.
Itecominmd Italae of Salaries.
The recommendations that the salaries
of the Judges of the supreme court be
raised to $6,000 and those of tho Judges
ot the district court to $4,000 were unani
mously concurred In.
These other recommendations were also
concurred In:
That Judges be required by statute to
make the city of Dcs Moines their perma
nent place of residence during their offi
cial term of office.
That there be but one term of tho su
premo court held each year, beginning In
September and ending the succeeding June,
with a short recess at the holiday season.
That a certain number of cases be assigned
for submission und oral argument tor a
certain numbet of days. "That after cald
submissions are taken the court shall take
a recess for. such a time as may bo neces
sary to prepare and tllc opinions In said
submitted causes., The court tp then sit
and hear arguments and take submissions
in other nsslgned cases, .said submissions to
be followed by a' recess in, which opinions
shall be written and Med In such causes.
This method of procedure to be followed
during the entire term or' until all the
assigned causes which may be ready tor
submission aro disposed of.
The adoption of a safe, Judicious and
efficient primary law. '
l'nlillentlon of loir, neport.
Supreme Court 'Ileporter B. I, Salllnger,
In an Impassioned speech, protested against
the adoption by the association of the rec
ommendation of the law reform committee
that tbe statutes be so amended as to give
to the Judges of tbe supreme court ot Iowa
the sole supervision and control of the
preparation and publication ot tbe Iowa re
port!, Including tbe letting of all contracts
for the' printing thereof and tbe enforce
ment of the same, also providing that the
supreme court reporter shall conform to
the requirements of the said Judges rela
tive to the preparation of manuscript for
such reports under' penalty,. of suspension
ot his salary at their discretion. He ar
gued that the statutes already' gave tho
supreme court Judges arbitrary power In
the matter and alleged that the delay In
tho printing ot the reportB was due to the
negligence of the printer and the failure
ot the executive council to enforce Its con
tract with the state printer.'
Judge Klnno of tbe stale board, a former
Justice of the supreme court, spoke In' fa
vor of amending 'the' statutes so as to give
to the supreme court Judges thu letting of
the contracts for the printing of the re
ports, as the present -system tended to
confusion and poor results, Tbe recom
mendation after the paragraph referring to
tho supreme court reporter, had boen
stricken out, on motion of Salllnger, was
concurred In. This question aroused the
liveliest debate of the afternoon.
Judge Crosby objected to voting away
what be termed their last vestige of lib
erty and consequently the recommendation
that the trial Judges be empowered to limit
the time to be used by counsel In- argu
ment to the Jury In all civil cases was re
jected by an unanimous vote.
To Inveatlarate Propositions.
The newly elected president' was author
ized to appoint a committee to report at
the next meeting on tho, following proposi
tions: - '
Whether tho present method of trial In
equity causes should be "changed so as to
require witnesses to testify In open court
as In'hiw cases?
Should the method of selecting Jurors be
changed7
May not the present almost unlimited
right of amendment ho abridged with ad
vantage to the practice and without Injury
to Htlgantf"' , '
Should 'wc have a statutory limit to the
amount of costs taxable against the losing
part, 7 , ,
hat changes should there be In the law
In relation to procuring and examining ex
perts na witnesses?
What further statutory provision Is
needed for the tempornry appointment and
pay of trial Judes who act In plfire of the
regular Judges, in case of the, sickness or

It Is expected th'.it will be closed up I lilt,

ing workmen because they do not want to
put their horses out In the hot sun, but
work Is going on rapidly and there Is no
doubt of the building ot the road to Ne

Grievance Unlokly Settled.
One hundred and titty miners and fifty
"day" men employed at the Norwood
mine, formerly known as the "Klondike"
mine, laid down their tools this morning
and refused to resume work until the'
scales were placed In proper condition.
Their action was taken when the check
wclghman employed by them informed
them that the scales wero out of order
and were giving thu'imlncrtf much thu worst
of It, they havlngr'to nllnc considerably
over a ton of "coat '(n'bl'der' to receive pay
for, a. ton.. The statc mine Inspector was
summoned and" he. reported that the scales
were underwelghleg something like 150
pounds to tho ton.) He ordered the scales
repaired and- thel.'work was accordingly
done. By that time, however, tho mlnera

Storms' Case Sot Kndcrt.
Another effort Is being made to get
Storms, the Burlington fiend, out of the
penitentiary, where he Is servlns a life
sentence for tho murder of Mrs. Rath
bun and her daughter. The crluio was a
horrible one. Storms, after hid arrest,,
made a full confession of the affair and
upon his confession, which he atterward
disowned, he was convicted. The case was
brought to the supreme court hero nn
appeal on the ground that .the confession
was Becured by undue Influence, but the
supromo court refused to order a new trial.
Now an effort is to be made, bo the Infor
mation reaches hero, to show that an In.
sano man committed the act and that this
fact was well known to the relatives of
the Insane person, but kept from tbe
public. Sensational developments arc ex
pected In the case, though It Is Improb
able Storms will be released.

BlOtfX FALLS, S. D., July 17. (Special.)
A B. Klttredgc, who was last week ap
pointed by Governor Herrcld to tho va
cancy In the United States senate caused
by the death of Senator Kyle, has returned
from a trip to St. Paul nnd Chicago, where
ho went for tho purpose of resigning tho
local attorneyship of tho Great Northern
and Mllwnukcn railroads.
"Yes, It Is true." said he, "that I have
resigned my position with both the Mil
waukee and Great Northern roads. Since
receiving the appointment from Governor
Herrcld 1 have considered the matter care
fully and quickly madu up my mind that
to continue ns attorney for the railroads
while acting us senator would not be fair,
cither to the people of the state or to the
roads. Either position Is such that one.
who occupies It should devote his time nnd
energy to his employer. The attorney for
the roads shoutd rightfully be expected to
give his first attention to their Interests
nnd should i' do that 1 should not bo nblu
to give that devotion to the Interests of
tho people of tho state which the duty of"
a senator requires. In accepting the ap
pointment from the governor I have de
termined to give my time nnd what energy
I possess to the Interests ot the people ot
South Dakota and consequently have sev
ered my connection with tho various cor
porations for whom I have acted us at
torney heretofore. I shall, of course, com
plete any litigation which I hvo begun for
them, but 1 shall take no new bnslness
and when the present suits are concluded
I shall cense to bo their attorney."

Kodol
Dyspepsia Csire
Dvspoptics cannot regain health and strongth by living upon
half ratlona. They must eat plenty of good food and digest It.
To enable them to do this they should use something that will
help tho stomach do Its work. Kodol DrsPKraiA Curb Is such a
preparation. It digests what you eat and supplies tbe sub
stances needed to build if tho worn out digestive organs.
Prof. J. Ivlson, of Lonaconlng, Md., says: "For thirteen
years I suffered ngony from dyspepsia and ncunilgla of tho
stomach. I tried almost everything and doctors drugged mo
nearly to death with morphtna, but temporary relief waa all I
could obtain till 1 was advised to use Kodol Dysprpsia Cuuk.
The first dose gave me relief. I bought my first bottle lu
March, 1900, and I have not had a tingle pain since. It has
completely cured me. I cannot endorse It too highly."
