ASSOCIATION WILLING TO SETTLE.
County Attorney, However. Inclined
to Investigate Farther.
F. R. Beemani local manager of the
Equitable Home association, was much
perturbed yesterday by the disclosures
made in the newspapers and was an early
caller at the office of County Attorney
Klllpack. Mr. Beeman said he regretted
very much that the party who had called
the attention of the county attorney to
the company was dissatisfied with her In
vestment and he was perfectly willing to
take up her contract and refund whatever
money she had paid in. "We are perfectly
willing to settle with Mrs. Severine, if
she is not satisfied." said Mr. Beeman,
"and lake up her contract."
"Well, It Is not unlikely that you will
be called upon to also settle with the
state of Iowa," was the significant reply
of the county attorney.
Mr. Beeman asked for the return of
Mrs. Beverlne's contract, but this Mr.
Killpack declined to surrender, ss he told
Mr. Beaman he ' "wanted to look over It
a little more carefully and might need It
lat?r.'!
Later In fhe day the solicitor for the
company who Induced Mrs. Severine to
invest, and another officer of the concern,
called upon Mr. Klllpack with an offer to
refund Mrs. Feverlite her money and take
hack the contract. Mr. Klllpack, however,
refused to surrender the contract and In
timated that he Intended laying the mat
ter before the grand Jury which will meet
Tuesday
Mrs. Severine, who was induced to Invest
her money with the association, received a
contract, the number of which Is 1,084.
When she commenced to figure out the
conditions under which she would eventu
ally. If ever, secure her home from the
company, she came to the conclusion she
would have to wait until 1,083 other con
tract holders had been first supplied. Look
ing at the matter from this standpoint,
Mrs. Severine came to the conclusion that
she would be a very old woman before her
time came to be numbered among one of
the elect to secure a borne from the as
sociation. Ogden Hotel Rooms, with or without

IMPORTANT PARTS
In sanitary plumbing, as in life, are often
played by the little things. The lack of a
mite of a washer, a single broken or worn
out thread on a screw or cap in an escape
pipe, may bring you annoyance, possibly
sickness. We have a care for the littles

modern methods nd appliances sre used
by us; materials end workmanship

(From a Btsff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. March 20. (Special.) The
approptlations committees of the senate
and house have been ot work hard on the
appropriations for the state Institutions
and will soon complete the budget. The
plan Is to keep the appropriations for
extraordinary purposes down to $1,800,000
for the biennial period, though they may
reach $1,000,00 a year, despite the efforts
of the economists. By keeping the ap
propriations down to the smaller sum the
state will not have to levy more than S
mills on the dollar for state , taxes and
this will be about the average for many
years. The heaviest draft will be for the
Institutions under the Board of Control,
which will require upwards of $026,000. The
matter of appropriations for the educa
tional Institutions Is still much muddled,
but there will be a straightening out In
a few days when the omnibus hills will
be presented and promptly passed.
For One Board.
The committee on visitation of the State
normal school at Cedar Falls today filed

committee. In making its first repo't, did
not consider this subject, but now goes on
record as joining with the other commit
tees In favor of the one-board idea.
