(From a Suit Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, Sept. ll-tSueclal.l-Iowa
maintain the most expensive system pos
sible for caring for the poor and the un
fortunate and would vastly gain by hav
ing state Instead of county system of, pro
viding for the paupers and Incurable In
sane. A year ago at a conference of heads
of stat Institutions In this city Prot.
Frank I. Herriott of the chair of special
economic and political science of Drake
university and statistician for the Stat
Board of Control, made the bold assertion
that It would be cheaper; for the counties
of the state to close ell .'poor farms and
county hospitals and arrange to board these
dependents at llrst-class hotels at ruling
rates for board. The assertion was ques
tioned, but he haa now completed the com
pilation of statistics to show that the
statement wa not far wrong. He shows
that fox the keeping of about 2.3UO paupers
and Insane on county farms the cost was
In 1902 about 3600,000, that this waa an
average monthly per capita of 318.11; that
the same year the state, cared lor the In
mates In state Institutions at an average
expense of 312.68. The cost per capita of
keeping Inmates of poor farms and county
asylums ranged from 310 to, S3. There are
between 19,000 and 20,000 acres In the county
poor farms of Iowa, and it is estimated
that the Dermahent Investment Is over
33,000,000, Including machinery and. build
ings. Capitalizing the annual expense of
county poor farms at 6 per cent the result
la a capitalization of 310.000,000, or that the
state has in fact Invested 315,000,000 In all
for the maintenance of the poor and Incura
ble Insane. Prof. Herriott,. therefore, con
clude that a state poor house and farm
for the reception and care of the state's
dependent poor and defectives Is greatly
to be preferred to the present method, re
garded simply from the point of view of
finance or the profitable investment of
capital and the Interest on the people'
money. "The abolition," he says, "or aban
donment of the county farms and the sub
stitution of a state farm, even if the
county institutions had to be given away,
would, notwithstanding the great loss ap
parently entailed, be financially profitable
to the taxpayers of the state aa a whole."
Iowa Crop Report.
Th,e temperature of the last week In
Iowa was normal, with abundant sunshine
and very light rainfall In the larger part of
the state. The crop and . weather bureau
reports that conditions were very favorable
for the corn crop, which made as rapid
progress as could be desired for its normal
development. The sudden- fall In the tem
perature at the close of the' week resulted
In light frosts In exposed s localities, and
possible damage to tender vegetation on
low ground; but reports dot not Indicate ma

NEW TORk, Sept. " 13 Seven persons
were burned to death and six others wer
Injured seVlously in a fire which partially
destroyed a tenement " building at No.
6-70 Flrit street today.' More than twenty
families were asleep In the building nnd
thrilling acts of brnvcry aocompanled their
rescue, w hich wks accomplished by firemen
nnd the police.
Owing to the danger of the fire In such a
crowded section police reserves from three
prcQlncIs were hurried lo the scene.
Women and children were being dropped
from the windows 'of the lower floors and
dozens xt grown- persons were fighting In
the "hallway torench the open air. A
pnllrer.inh clambered to the roof of an
adjoining building, and by clinging to the
cornice, with the smoke pouring Into his
face, reached down to the Windows of, the
fifth floor and rslsed seven children, who
were banded out by their parents. . An
other officer, winding a coat about his
head, entered the building from below and
rolled down the stair the body of a half
suffocated man. Three times the officer
came back, carving two persons In his
arms'. . Then he fell, exhausted. ,
Meantime ladders had been run to the
lop of the building nnd firemen, clnrnberlng
up, rescued at least - twenty tenement
dwellers who were about to Jump. Men
sought to reach, the Bremen first, but were
thrust back while the women end children
were taken out. One flremun, although
badly burned took ..seven persons from n
single window on the fourth floor. When
the work of fescue had' been completed
.and the flnmee wer under control tha fire
men, hurriedly searched the crowded flats
and on the fourth floor ' they found six

The financial loss was small.-'

men who first reached the burning build
ing believe the fire was of Incendiary
Origin. Their theory Is borne out by the
statements of the Jnnltrfr of the building,
who says that an attempt wag made to set
flra to the tenement last Thursday night.
Jacob Boffa, one of the men Injured in
today's Are, was entering the house late
that night, when he discovered a blaze In
the hallway. A broom left by the janitor '
had been wrapped In paper and sprinkler"
w'h kerosene and the whole was blazing
briskly when he. found It. He extinguished
the fire and no formal report of the matter
was made at that time.

Denver paid 3284 on' 100 pound pf cotton
piece goods Salt Lake City .paid only 81.
while shipments to China were taken at

the railroad men to the need of. ballast
