only four have up to dato put in an ap-
IKarance here, according to the statement
of Assistant County Attorney Dillon Ross
rr.adw yesterday evening.
Dr. C. C. Vandrteck of St. louls. who
wag fleeced out of 12.500 hy the gang In the
fall of 1!)0V, and Samuel Sutor, the hotel
man of Cass Iake, Minn., who dropped

ttorles to the grond Jury Tuesday after
noon. W. H. Bedford, the farmer from
P.aj, Mo., who says he believes the gang
either hyrnotlied or drugged him, was be
fore the grand Jury yesterday morning
and related his atory of how he waa ac
tually robbed, ao he claims, of $6,000. Bed
ford Insists that at no tlmo during the
transaction did he have the slightest In
tention of hetting his own money on the
'.iorse race. In fact, he did not know, he
uys. until after the race had been run
and the Jockey supposedly fatally Injured,
that his money had been put up. To this
day, he says, he does not know which one
of the gang took upon himself to bet his
(Bedford's) Sfi.OOO. About all that Brdford
say he Is sure of Is that he and his bank
rill parted company and have never come
together since. Although willing to ace the
members of the gang punished, Bedford
takes his loss philosophically, and while
before the grand Jury yesterday marning
afforded considerable amusement and di
version for the members by his quaint
Missouri sayings.
John Hermelhrncht, a farmer from Ban
croft, Neb., arrived In Council Bluffs yester
day morninc. He witnessed one of tlia
row famous horse races on April 2fi and
it cost him S5.000, whlrh h had brought to
Council Bluffs to nail down what had been
represented to him as a sure thing In the
wuy of a land deal. Hermelbraeht, like
others before him. got "switched" from
the land deal to the fake horje.

Walker to have been Ryan, the saloon

evening: "There may be others who will
show up," said Mr. Ross, "but so far
I have no advices of any others who v.lll
be here to go before the grand Jury. The
victims reem to lie somewhat backward in
coming forward. I suppose they do not
relish the notoriety."
Samuel Sutor, who was before the grand

(From a Staff Correspondent. 1
DES MOINES. March lS.-(Spec!al.)-A
sen?atlon was created today on the dis
covery of the fact that three days ago Gov
ernor Carmll drmanded the resignation of
Hon. B. F. Kelti of Webeder City as A
member of the stato phr.tmncy board. Thlf

not supposed It would ccm In the form
of a demand for the place. Kelt wag
notified at his home In Webster City by
long distance 'phone and he promptly de
clined to be shunted off without a word.
He has demanded a hetrlt g and this wilt
be given, probably tomorrow. Krltz In
terns to fight the case and to Insist that
the regular and orderly proceedings of
the Ixmrd as they have been approved by
the executive council la not In violation
of law, even technically. The controversy
arises over a disagreement oa to the ex
pense bills, the governor taking the ground
that the manner of doing business on the
board Is technically In violation of law.
The members have received about $1.510
a year, which Is regardad a a fan salary
for the work done, hut this Is In the form
of a per dlcm and the governor lnglsta that
the per diem can only he charged when
th members are at work at their offices.
As a matter of fact the position calls for
a great deal of work at the respective
homes of the members and while traveling
about the state. It Is also stated that n
anon as two new members of the board
can be named, the position of secretary,
long held by Charles W. Phillips, will be
demanded and a new man hag been
selected for that place.
In defense of the board It la stated that
Governor Carrr II has been In fact -a mem
ber of the state executive council the last
six years and as such has passed af
firmatively upon every bill presented from
the board and hns never until now under
taken to protest against the plan of doing
business.

of tact In handling a large body of men.

didates for the place. Wilson la a soldier
and at present occupies a position In the
office of secretary of state. He la alao a
trustee of the State college at Ames.

Pare Food Law Modified .
State Dairy Commissioner Wright has
modified his plan with regard to having
stamped upon all packagea of food the
exact weight of the contents. The law ho
proposes, aa modified, will require that this
extend to butter and all Imitations of but
ter, lard and Imitations of lard, flour and
mill products when canned or bagged.
The original statute proposed that pack
ages of crackers, for Instance, sold now by
package and not by weight, ahould have
the weight stamped on them. It was argued
by representatives of the National Biscuit
company and other manufacturers that to
have the weight marked on their packages
which are not sold by weight now would
work a hardship and an Injustice and even
keep their wares from the state.
The contention of the National Biscuit
company was that in accordance with the
terms of the national pure food law, which
aims to prevent fraud, It being an obviously
fair requirement that when a package sets
forth and purports to be a certain weight,
It should be marked correctly. There is an
excellent chance that the bill as modified
will pass the Iowa assembly.
