If possible, of recon ciling the difference in their estimate of th value of the plant, will be brought up again. - That It would be was, the general understanding last Thursday, when Council man Hendrlx s motion resulted In a tie vote. Councilman Hendrlx. Maloney and Smith voted In favor of employing Mr. fClenrted for not to exceed three day at 160 a day for thla purpose, while Council men Wallace, Younkerman and Knudsen votexl against it. Couaclliaea Fleming am? Olson war absent. Councilman Fleming, who voted against bringing Mr. Klersted back when th mat ter was first brought up last Monday night, stated later that had be beard of Mr. Kler sted' Joint letter to Councilman Wallace and Manager Hart of the water works company h would have voted the other way. He ia said now to be In favor of allowing the two experts to get together, but Councilman Olson, on th other hand, la opposed to any conference between the two engineer. Councilman Olson. like Councilman Wallace, Is In favor of standing pat by Mr. Klersted' s report and figures. This being th situation, another vote on th proposition to bring Mr. Klersted back probably would result In a tie, and It would be up to Mayor Macrae, if he desired to assert hi prerogative, to cast tha deciding vote. When Councilman Hendrlx last Mon day night first suggested that Mr. Klersted b brought back to confer with Mr. Alvord Mayor Macra spoke strongly In favor of the proposition, but whether he would cars. If still of th aam opinion, to bear tha burden of deciding th question by casting the deciding vote remain to be seen. Th reason h refrained from voting Thursday night, it waa stated, was because of the absence of Councilman Fleming and Olson. ROBERT BURNS 10c CIOAR, OLD TIMES to and SPINA 10 CIOAR.

The report of th committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors which checked up the office of the county recorder. It is said, will be productive of further devel opments and It waa Intimated yesterday by a county official that It was not unlikely that the whole matter might be laid before the next district grand Jury. . Th county supervisors, after hearing the report of the cheeking committee and from the county recorder himself, decided that a farther examination of the books of Recorder Balrd should be made and the committee was ordered to do so. Recorder Baird. when called before the Board of Supervisors Saturday, waa forced to admit that he had been charring filing fee in exces of what ths law provided. In doing so, he said in self-defense, that he had only been following the practice of his predecessors. For Instance, the re corder's "original book of entry." which he was required to produce before the board but which he had refused to furnish the checking committee, showed that for recording chattel mortgages he had In variably charged 75 cents an Instrument while the regular fee waa only TO cents, and It was the latter amount which was entered on the book furnished the check ing committee, and turned over to th county. When the board found thla condition ex isting In the office of the county recorder. It directed the checking committee to make another examination of the books and as certain the exact amount which Recorder Balrd during the two year of his- first term had overcharged for the filing of in struments and report back to the board. To the board Mr. Balrd stated he was "perfectly willing" to turn over to the county whstever amount the checking com mittee might find had been collected by hrm In excess of th statutory fee County Treasurer Mitchell, when In formed of the action of the board, said: "I cannot see that the county haa any ngm io this money. The county is only entitled to the regular filing feea as pro vided by law. The money by right bet- longs to those persons who have been over charged by Recorder Balrd and restitution should be made to them and not to the county. Of course, the Individual amounts are small, but nevertheless a list should be made by the checking committee and when this money is turned into the county treasurer, those who have been overcharged by Recorder Balrd can then recover what they have overpaid, by a warrant from the office of the county auditor with whom this list should be filed by th checking com mittee." It had been an open secret for several weeks that when the checking committee, consisting of J. M. Matthews and W. B. Reed, made Ha report it would create some thing of a sensation and possibly lead to a radical change In the system of bookkeep ing in soma of th county offioes. Recorder Baird I now sarvtng his second term, hav ing been re-elected last November. Prior to being elected recorder h served as deputy under former Recorder E. E. Smith I and for a number of years a deputy in the office of Freeman L. Reed, former clerk of the district court. CENTRAL FLOUR, Hit PER SACK; EVERT SACK WARRANTED, CENTRAL GROCERY AND MEAT MARKET.

Feb. 24. i Special.) An Investigation Into th age of the inmates of the two penitentiaries has armed the friends of th Indeterminate sentence law and th bill to make the Anamoaa peni tentiary a reformatory for person under the age of lo, who are first offenders, with an argument which they consider Is clinching. They have determined that If their hill had been the law for the last several years the number of inmates !n the Anamosa penitentiary would be l.7 and those at Fort Madison 1.051. It has been the argument of those who have opposed the creation of a reformatory cf the Anamosa penitentiary that such a measure would mean practically the aban donment of the Institution at Fort Madi son. The records In the governor's office have been searched to ascertain the truth and the figures above show the number cf persons who would be confined In each In stitution. If there was readjustment as provided In the bill putting first offender under the age of Sf at the reformatory at Anamosa and all others at the peni tentiary at Fort Madison. Senator Saund ers of Council Bluffs proposes to make use of these figures rn his arguments for the proposed measure. The readjustment called for by th bill would take 422 sec ond offender and persons over SO years of age from Anamosa and put them at Fort Madison and would leave 4TI and wonld take SOS from Fort Madison and put them at Anamosa and leave 6S0. Th senate committee on penitentiaries and pardon ha had on hearing on the meas ure and the house will take up the Holmes bill at once. It la probable that a measure will ba reported out to on of the houses th coming week. Opwasa Warrea' Pardoa. Opposition ha developed In Boone and Marshall counties against the pardon of Elmer Warren, who killed Conductor James 0Neil of th .Northwestern rail road at a little station near Boone- In January. 1591. Warren had his petition for a pardon well on the road before Boone people became interested. Warren and a companion were hiding In a box car on O'Nell's tnln and a detective ap proached the conductor and told lilm he sunperted two burglars were on his train. The conductor went with him to Investi gate. He swung his lantern over the grain door pf A box. car and was Just preparing to climb in, 'When he was shot and killed by Warren.' ' The two burglars escaped, but were sopo after captured and tried and Warren convicted of the murder.

Reform af court procedure is mora thaa a mar academic question In th legislatur. for a number of bills have been Intro duced looking to soma important change la regard to appeal. If enacted' into law they would go far toward reducing th volume of work thrown upon th supreme court, prevent much of tha annoying delay f th court and mak It possible to dol cut Justlo prompter and with lea expense. Senator Dunham ha fathered a bill which provides that "No criminal cas appeaiad ta tba , aujirsnia court ahaU be rsvuaad except when the court, on the entlr cas presented, is satisfied there Is a reason able doubt of the guilt of the defendant." As reaching the same thing In a little different form, the same senator has In troduced this: In the consideration of spvealed criminal rsaes by the supreme court of Iowa tech nicalities shsll not be considered, and er rors In rullnrs snd decisions of the lower court shall be considered prejudicial nniy when they in the opinion of the supreme cniirt have caused an ermnerme Judgment ssainst the defendant. No rase shall be reversed except when, upon the whole case presented, the court Is satisfied that aub stantial Justice la not accomplished. Representative Swift has introduced an other reform bill as follows: The mode of reviewing In the supreme court any Judgment, action or decision of the district court tn a criminal case la by appeal. An appeal can only he taken from the final Judrment. and within one year thereafter, and then only when the offense chnrsed Is rreetrr than a misde meanor. Either defendant or state may appeal. Representative Clary haa a bill In ref erence to granting new trial In criminal cases, providing for new trials "when after the trial there has been newly discovered evidence material for the defendant, which he could not with reasonable diligence have discovered and produced at the trial." Another bill by Mr. Swift raises the limit necessary for an appeal In civil case from tlOO to 00 and making appeal neces sary In six months. Some of these bills are favored by At torney General Byers, who Is strongly In favor of a general reform In court practice that will expedite the work of the courts and lessen the arduous labors of th su preme court. The fact la that most of the district Judge are quite a competent a the supreme Judges to decide fairly all matters affecting misdemeanors and there I no reason why these and other petty cases should be piled up on the supreme judge. Th supreme court Is burdened with work, not of an Important kind, but of little Importance, and the desire la to relieve It of as much aa possible. INCREASE IN COST OF CREAM Larger Drsaaad aad Decreased Sap ply Glvea a tha BesHs. WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. That th cost of milk and particularly cream has ad vanced enormously since 1900 as the result of the curtailment of supply to the factor ies and the Increasing market In the large cities I Indicated In a censua bulletin Issued today relative to the manufacture of butter. Cheese, condensed milk, flour and grist mill product and starch, for 19TC. A substantial increase in the manufacture oi au una products is shown since 1900 except starch, which declined markedly. Coat of cream increased 24TJ per cent and milk 17 per cent. According to the statement there were 1862 establishments engaged In the butter, cheeae and condensed milk Industry In 1905, aggregating a capital of a57.2S5.5eS, employ ing 15,557 wage earner who received pt, 412, 937 In wages. With tha exception of a num ber of establishments, all of these Item show increase since 1900. that in value of products amounting to C7.399.440. represent ing an Increase of 28.9 per cent, or over one-fourth. The decrease in the number of establish ments was principally due to the consolida tion or absorption of smaller creamerte Into larger plants. The hand separator which enables the farmer to separate his own cream waa a prominent factor In thla tendency to centralisation, enabling easier hauling and making it possible for a single creamery to obtain It supply from a wide territory. As a result the larger plant. In which butter was manufactured at lesa ex pense, gradually crowded out or absorbed smaller plants. ; Legislative Clerk Has Sssallaax. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo., Feb. 24.
