LEGISLATURE PLEASES VETERAHf
Commander' Commeata Favomaly ost
. Acta of Last Session.'
"MASON CITT. Ia.4 June . (Special.)
1 day received warm eomniendatloiy at the
. handa ot Colonel' L. B. Raymond, depart
ment commander of . the Grand Army of
the Republic, before the annual encamp
mental Mason City, for what; wag done In
the Interest of the veterans of the war.
Commander Raymond - detailed what - waa
done by the department committee1 on leg
islation, especially in securing the passage
of tha veterans' preference bill, which re
ceived but one adverse vote In the entire
legislature. But he warned that "com
rades should remember that the law will
not aid them In procuring positions for
which they Are not qualified or In holding
plaoea tbe duties of which they. are !tv
com pert ent to perform." He referred also
to the fact that the legislature provided an
appropriation of $760 annually to help de
fray the expenses of the department. The
bill to secure the making ' of a roster ot
every soldier Jiving In Iowa failed through
misunderstanding' in the senate aa to Its
scope, but partial amends were made by
providing that In the taking of the census
there should be an enumeration of all
soldiers separata, with record of their mil
itary service. The legislature also sent a
special (Committee to visit the Soldiers'
Home and their recommendation were
generous and the legislature appropriated
largely .for the home. .In view of all this
the commander asked the encampment to
make suitable acknowledgment to the leg
islature. ...
Cofonel Raymond reported that while he
had hoped there would not be a loss of
membership in the department, yet It was
too much to expect at this time. The ag
gregate loss In membership wag $41, and by
death 132. In vlow of the fact that la many
small towns the membership of posts ha
been reduced he recommended that the
posts, be ' transferred bodily to near-by
posts.
Soldier day at the state fair last fall wa
so successful that the commander recom
mended appointment of a special commit
tee to prepare a program for this year and
to see that It Is kept up as. a regular
feature.
Colonel Raymond "recommended la bis re
port that there should be a definite en
dorsement of the servloe pension bill which
waa urged by tha national legislative com
mittee and which was Introduced In the
senate by Mr. Dolllver and in the house by
Mr. Caklerhead. The bill, provides for , a
service pension of $11 a month to all over
43 yeara. B; In tha meantime Commlse
sloner Ware has Issued an order which
practically establishes the servloe pension
principle, and thta 1 highly commended.
I'lt la a cause for rejoicing," stated Colonel
Raymond, "and of congratulation that the
present commissioner of pensions la In
clined to take a liberal and broad view of
the provisions . of the pension laws, aod
the beneficial results fit bis ruling are al
ready apparent."
The report of Assistant Adjutant General
Newman show an ,. emergency .fund of
$S.0O0 out on Interest, and tbe department
received $0.M interests from per .capita
tax. M.7SS 06; from, sale, of supplies, $UUJ;
saVof souvenir badge, $a1.10; from the
state, $146.60. The cosh balance on .hand,

Adjutant Newman's report shows a net
loss of membership of 141, and a total mem
bership of, H.22. , There waa a lose of
eleven poet, leaving $72. The membership

(From a Staff Correspondsnl.)
DE9 MOINES, June L-(Speclal.) Polk
county and the city of Das Molhcs todsy
led off In ordering voting machines for the
use of the electors at election time. Fifty
one machine were ordered at an expense
of $26,000. These machines are to be of the
pattern called Universal, manufactured at
Blooming-ton, hi-, a machine , which pro
vides compartments for each candidate and
a ball la dropped Into the Compartment
when the vote Is cast by machine. This Is
the first place In the state where voting
machines have been ordered for actual use.
One or two machines have been given a
trial at different places. A state voting
mschlne commission" was authorized some
years ago and this commission has passed
favorably on several machines, authorising
their use In the state. By the terms of the
contract made with the Bloomington com
pany today the machines are to be, taken
back and money refunded if at any time It
Is found that the machines are declared to
be Illegal. '
Dlckerhoff Sentenced.
John Dlckerhoff waa today sentenced to
six years In the penitentiary on his con
viction for enticing two girls from LamonI,
la., to bis house In Des Moines for Im
moral purposes. It waa also announced
that he would plead guilty on two other
charges and that Mrs. pickerhoff would
plead guilty on two or three Indictments
Involving the same case. This will pretty
effectually break up a bad gang that hoe
been . engaged . In Immoral work In Des
Moines for some time: and which had be
come much bolder In Its operations In re
centmonths. Two glrlg were brought from
Lamont ostensibly to work as domestics In
a respectable home and when theyv found
out that the place was not respectable
they at once made complaint and com
pelled prosecution.
Internrban Promotion.
A party of promotera for an Interurban
electric line from Des Moines to St. Joseph,
Mo., arrived In the city today. F. S. Mor
daunt heads the party. They have been
looking over the proposed route between
Mount Ayr and Dee Moines by way of
Creston and Wlnterset, and .claim that
there Is excellent prospect of the building
of such a line. Practically nothing Is known
here aa to their plans, but the route Is re
garded as feasible for an Interurban line.
A second line has been' projected from
Creston to Des Moines1 by way of Macks
burg and a company- organised at Macks
burg In Madison county for this purpose.
. Rids for Deaf Hehool.
. The State Board of Control today sent

EENMVIH JOHNSON WITHDRAWS HIS NAME
State Chairman' Yossg Eaters Into
. Bitter . Criticism of . Berkaam'a
Administration and Blaek-
. bars; Praises Bryan. .
LOnsVILLB, June- a The democratic
convention was called to order today by
Hon. A. H. Toung. the present state chair
man. An overnight surprise for the dele
gates was th announced withdrawal from
the race for eniporary chairman of Ben
jamin Johnson, the anti-machine candi
date. Although the convention was called
to elect delegate to th St. Louis conven
tions this feature was lost sight of In the
long and bitter struggle waged for the
contfol of the state central committee.
Governor Beckham and the administra
tion force have been supporting Lewis
McQuow for chairman of the state central
committee. United States Senators Black
burn and McCreery and Cobgreasmsn
Smith opposed the governor and have been
supporting Congressman J. N. Keh'oe .for
the coveted position.
The" opposition played a strong card In
announcing that Benjamin Johnson of Nel
son, which Is Governor Beckham's county,
would be their candidate for temporary
qhelrman. No sooner had this been given
out than a number of" Beckham aupporters
went to Bearflstown and after a long ses
sion returned and announced that Mr.
Johnson would withdraw.
State Chairman Toung In his address to
the convention bitterly arraigned Governor
Beckham's administration and denounced
the 'governor's course In the present cam
paign as calculated to disrupt the "party.
He waa -alternately cheered and hissed.
Curing the course of bis speech Chalrmkn
foung appealed to 'tho Bryan element by
warning them It the men supporting ths
administration secure control ot the ma
chinery -the principles advocated by Bryan
would be east aside, . .. , .
OA the question of a presidential candi
date Senator Blackburn spoke In favor of
an unlnstruoied delegation. . Mention ' of
names of Parker and McClellan brought
only perfunctory applause. Senator Black
burn declared with much emphasis that he
still believed that the party waa right tn
1896, and 1000, , He characterised the re
port' that Bryan would bolt as an in
famous He and paid an eloquent tribute to
the ' character of th ' Nebraskan. Gov
ernor Beckham waa declared the nomine
for temporary chairman of the convention
