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.
