INEBRIATES ARE EXPENSIVE Care of Them ia Asylums ia Banning Many Iowa Counties Into Debt ClUKINS KEEPS OUT OF LAKE BED CASE State Superintendent Invited to At tend Patriotic Exercises In Pabllo lehoola at ralamalt, Phil ippine Islands. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 28 (Special.) There Is almost a rebellion In official clr clea in this county on account ot the ex pense to the county of tho operations of the new law for cure of the Inebriates. The county officials have found that because of this law the insane fund ot the county le likely to be exhausted long before tbe mid dle of the fiscal yesr and tbe county will be running In debt to the state. The law providing for the detention of Inebriates at the state hospitals provides that they shall be treated as Insane persons so far as It relates to their care. Tbe state takea charge of all who are sent to the hospltala by the Judges and the counties are made to pay for their support at the rate of $12 a month. If the county can collect from tbe estate of the persons tbla ia done, but In only a few cases can auch collections be made, and as a result the county Is In great expense. It has been estimated that tbe total cost to Polk county alone from tbe care of the Inebriates at the Mount Pleas ant hospital will be about $15,000 a year. This has caused the officials to seek a way of escape. Efforts have been made to se cure the return of many of tbe Inebriates simply on the, ground of saving expense, and aa the superintendent will not recom mend paroles, the courts are trying to se cure the return of men by reopening the cases and giving a new hearing with tbe purpose ot allowing tbe persons to remain at home. The members of the Board ot Supervisors also threaten to refuse to pay the bills for the Inebriates and thus leave the state without thla support. The situa tion Is one unlocked tor and for which the county is not prepared. A similar atate ot affaire exists in a number of other counties of the state. Looks Like a Sotclde. The police of Dea Molnea are trying to unravel what Is supposed to be a euiclde mystery. George Reed left a note to his wife that he Intended to jump Into the river and drown himself The police think it Is a bluff, but they are looking into tbe mat tefr anyhow, to satisfy relatives and friends. This morning George Barkhetoer found a package of tetters and photos on the East Ninth street bridge. In tbem was a note from George Reed to his wife, telling her she would never see him again, aa tha river would be hla resting place, or words to that effect. Detective Yeager and othera have been searching the river, alao Inquiring In the country to the aouth and east, without securing any evidence of suicide. He leaves a wife and family In Southeast Des Moines. Cnmmlna on Lake Bed Cases. Governor Cummins, who some time ago decided upon refusing to mix In tbe con troversy going on In Iowa over certain lake beds which are claimed as awamp land by speculstors and others, has made plain his views on the subject. Governor Cumoains refuses to. ask of tha general land office a resurvey of tbe lakes for tbe reason that to do so would be to recognize that tbe atate of Iowa dlsclalma ownership of the lakes. But he holds that under the arti cles ot admission as a atate all fhe lake beds and meandered streams became tbe property ot the state and the title to tbe land which may b reclaimed by drainage Is In tbe state. He bas authorized the re newal ot leases of various kinds upon some of the reclaimed lake beds and this is done for the purpose of maintaining the rights of the state thereto. There are some law suits pending which it is believed will clear up the entire matter and tbe governor states that he does not want to Interfere with these cases. Pnrvln Case Appealed. A somewhat celebrated Insurance case baa Just come to the Iowa supreme court. It Is tbat of Parvln against the Mutual Reserve Fund Lite Association, involving $7,500 of Insurance on the life of the lata T. 8. Parvln, grand secretary of the Ma sons ot Iowa. He wss originally Insured In tbe Northwestern Masonic Aid associa tion, but this was later transferred to the Reserve Fund, which carried tbe Insuranoe for some time and then demanded a large addition to the premiums. This Parvln re fused to pay and he brought rult to compel the company to continue business at the rate agreed upon In the policy. While this wss pending be died. Ills heirs reoovered in the district court the full amount of the policies, though Parvln had not paid for several y&rs, and now tbe company ap peals to the supreme court. Depositary Bands Approved. The State Executive eounoil today ap proved the bonds ot two of the depositories of atate funds in Des Mglnes tbe Des Moines Savings bank for $300,000, and tbe Grand Avenue Savings bank for $50,000. This practically concludes the work of securing bonds under a nsw regulation from all the banka in which state funds are deposited. The articles of incorporation of tbe Iowa Savings bank ot Tracy, Marlon county, were filed with the secretary ot state today. The capital Is $12,000; W. T. 6mlth, president, and J. B. Lyman, cashier. Invited ta Go to Calnmplt. Stats. Superintendent Barrett today re ceived an invitation from tbe pupils of a school in Calumplt, Bulucan, P. I,, to at tend asrvlcea on Washington's birthday, In which the special day leaflet Issued by tbe Iowa department was to be used. Miss E. L. Evans, formerly of Iowa, Is the teacher ot the school, Tbe Invitation was written in neat atyls by one of the Filipino pupils in tbe school. State Superintendent Barrett ia receiving letters almost evsiy day announcing that in the rural district of Iowa tbe school boards are Increasing the salaries of teach ers from $1 to $3 a month, this tbe result of the crusade which was started last win ter at the State Teachers' association. Ths tendency all over ths state at this time Is to give the teachers better pay for tbslr work. State 1)14 N Cat Tea. The state of Iew has Just lost a esse in Washington county brought by the treas urer of state to collect about $s,ooo of col lateral Inheritance taxes.
