Coanty Attorney aad Member of the

Matter, bat Latter Wllllag
to B investigated.
Th rupture of the "entente cordlale" be
tween H. V. Battey, cjerk of the district
court, and th Board of Supervisor of
Pottawattamla county, which occurred a
year ago, has culminated In Mr. Battey, In
a communication to County Attorney lies,
asking th latter official If Chairman
Felix Sett of th board ba not drawn
mora pay and mileage than n wa entitled
to under th statute. ;
Mr. Battey' communication to th county
attorney follow:
Tli maximum compensation for sess'on
service for l!li, under th law, would b

.1.4.70 tor mileage in attending fourteen

which at I cent per mile would Indicate
that Hit miles were traveled by him In at

statutory allowance for sess-nn iav. fifty

mllea were traveled' In attending each ses

half th d'tance across the state of low.
In addition, at the January. lW. Sess'on
of the board the following bill appears as
Mb
claim allowed: "Supervisors' meeting at
sourl alley, 87."
Matters In District Conrt.
Judge Creen began In district court yes
terday tho hearing In th suit brought by
O. V.'. Atwood and other directors of the
Cturr'l ElufTs Fish and Game Protective
uesoclutlon aiu'nst tho Interstate Amuse
ment company und others to restra'n the
sale cf l!qi;nr within the enclosure at Lake
Manawa. This rult was Instituted . last
isummrr after the Fish and Game Protec
tive assoc'atlon had felled to aecur from
th street railway company a site for a
prorosed clubhouse at the lake. Shortly
after the filing of tho rult, the management
of tho resort stopped selling liquor wl'.hln
li,1 grounds, although several Independent
saloon were running at full blast outside
th enclosure.
Th hearing In the damage u't of H. I
Bonea against the Rock Island railway
company waa completed and taken ur.der
ndv'sement by Judge Green. I
John Halle secured an order citing h's
neighbor, William Horblit. for contempt of
court. A controversy over 40-foot strip 1
of land on upper Harrison street has been
long pending between the two men, and
Halle allege that Horblit tor down one
fence and erected another, both In violation
of an order of court.
Lottie Robinson wa granted a divorce

An examination of enrli bill of tho anii
Beta for tho various sum allowed and
drawn will ahow you that these bills were
not Itemised, dated and sworn to as pro
vided and required by ection 1,300 of th
cod.
1 dirct jrour attention to these matter
for the reason that It would appear that
1374.70 for a'xty days, and tm for flf'v
nlne days, are out of proportion, at least
prima facie. And it may l that r,m ex
planation may be made of the apparent
inconsistency. And I assume that no su
pervisor would draw pav for either fifty
nine or sixty day when th law limited
him to fifty days' psy.
I request of you, as county attorney,
that you tak such steps aa are or may
be necessary to determlre whether or not
there has been any violation of the statute
of Iowa in thla matter.
The statute provide In counttea of th
population of Pottawattami county that
th supervisor shall recelv 14 per dlm
for not etceedlng fifty day In on year.
The. facta are. and they are admitted by
th member of the bord, that th board
waa In aession alxty day during 1906 and
fifty-nine day in 1903, th business of the
county neces'tatlng, so th mipervlsor In
sist, the extra day.
Why Mr. Eattey should pick Out th
chairman of th. board In charge to the
county attrrne Is best known to himself.
The record how, and the member of the
board readily admit th fact, that each
supervisor received pay for alrty daya in
1906 and f'fty-nlne In 190. A to the "in-
Biuuawuii umi iut7 iiaa onargea ana nad )
been paid excessive mileage Chairman 1
Seta and the other supervisors said it wa
without foundation.
The relatione between Mr. Battey and
tho . Board of Supervisor hav baen '
strained since about election tlti last fall i
when the question of Mr. Battey' right
to draw ray for extra clerical help, which.
It was alleged, ha did not employ, was '
raised by Chairman Beta and other mem
bers of the board. Suit waa brought and
th court's ruling wa unfavorable to Mr. i
Battey. j
Members of the Board of Supervisor
when seen yexterday afternoon stated thev I
would be only ' too pleased to have the
grand Jury Investigate the charge mads '
by Mr. Battey. 1
County Attorney Hess, discussing the
matter, said: "I believe that if the busi
ness of th county demanded It, the super
visors had a perfect right to continue in
sslon longer than th tlm actua'ly desig
nated in the statute and I believe any i
court In the state would hold that they!
were entitled to pay for ueh extra sea-'
sions." I

must visit every quarantined premise at
least once in each twenty-four hoivrs. Th
moat drastic new rule are taa follows:
Spitting on th street or) In any public
place anywher In th tata I absolutely
prohibited. .

be employed In any hotel, restaurant, de
partment store, meat market, theater, rail
road train, church or any plac where th

NO second hand clothtng, furniture or
books can be fold without first having
been thoroughly fumigated and disinfected
under th direct supervision of a health
officer.
No child with Itch or vermin will b al
lowed to attend any school and the teacher
or principal la held responsible for such
cases In the school.
Before a quarantine can be raised the
health officer must see that all files, rats
snd mice about the premise ar killed and
that all pet animals about the place ar
thoroughly washed and fumigated.
County superintendent, principals and
uperlntendenl of school are required to

any teacher of being afflicted, with tu'jer
cnloals and the health officer shall require

th return from the recent election of col

regiment ha discovered that aside '
from two persons In different companies
voting without authority there wer eight
een person enlisted in th Fort Dodgs
company after the order for th election
had been mad and before the holding; of
the election. Thla is contrary to the rulea i
of the department. The elimination of these '
vote would atill give Chantland th eleo- j
tlon.
Major Parker, of Sac City, who haa
charged crookedness and coercion In th
election, has not made any formal charge
and the department cannot act on hi In- I
formal charges. While the results of th 1
election cannot bo changed If Major Parker

CHICAGO, Nov. . Postmaster General
C . , .1 1 Mey-r vj l ie g.iest of
honor last night at th banquet of th In
ouatrial club of Cnicao. ill address,
which wa the principal speech of th
evening, waa upon matters connected with
the administration of hi department.
Postmaster General Meyer gav hi
view regarding postal Improvements, In
cluding establishment of postal raving
bank and the extension of the parcel
post system, which he will recommend to
congress in his annual report. H said
the Postofflc department, during th last
fiscal year, aent to Europe th money of
Immigrant to th extent of 171.000.000.
He estimated the amount of money In the
United State at S,1!8,05,7, -of which
f 1,010,700,000 I tn the bank and IS33,
X5S.05S i In the treasury, and th balance,
1.778,501,620 In th hand of Individuals and
other aource.
Value of Postal Baak.
"For a striking Illustration 01 th value
of a postal savings bank, take the present
time," said Mr. Meyer. "Many small ac
counts hav been withdrawn from na
tional banks, trust companies and saving
banka by timid depositors and th money
ha gone Into the strong box for hoarding.
On occasion like these, what peopl want
I absolute security. After they withdraw
their money they dread loss from theft or
by fire, but- they do not lose confident:
In th security of the government or It
pledge. Therefore, the small accounts
referred to would flow Into th postal
savinga banks and would be led back
Into the channels of trade by being de
posited In the national banka In those
communities, to th great advantage ot
.abor and lnduetry.
After a Crisis.
"When a crisis had visaed and confl
Jenc had been restored th money would
return to th savings banks, because In
the postal savings banks It would racelv
only about half th Interest paid by sav
ings bank. If th money I withheld
from national banka or trust comoan.-js
It loses th benefit of being drawn by
check, nor If deposited In a postal savings
bank can the depositor recelv iccommu
datlon In the way of a loan or tli ac
ceptance of business paper. In other
words, the Postolfic department la not
going Into the banking business. It de
sins only to encourage thrlit and to
olfer an accessible and aale form of de
positing savings by naturallxeJ citizen
and forelgnei aa well as by our peopl
living in out of th way places."
Mr. Meyer, In conclusion, aald h be
lieved that the proposition for bo.h
parcels post and postal savings banas
would be recognized by congress this yeai.
