SCOPE OF PRESENT ACTS WIDER Moo si Bill Mill Be Itearalatory ITpoa All Saloon Men Ifijanctloas for lloases of III Rrpste, In speaking of the Moon hill, which limits the number of saloons in cities and towns to one for eac?i l.Ono Inhabitants, State Senator S.iunlers. who addressed the meeting of the Methodist Brotherhood at the Broadwsy churjii last evening on "The Work of the Ijist legislature," said: "One feature of this bill which will make It effective as a law enforcement meas ure. Is that providing that any saloon keeper who vlolatea the conditions of the mulct law, who Is convicted of such vio lation, who may be enjoined or who vio lates an Injunction, shall not be granted a permit for a period tf five years. This will tend to make the saloon men walk the chalk mark, and makes the measure, In my Judgment, one of tha strongest for law and obedience of all the laws passed during the session. "This legislature," said the speaker, "will be memorable In Iowa history for the amount of remedial legislation enacted by It. In this class are the bills defining the duties of county attorneys and requiring sheriffs to ferret out crime, and providing for the expenses of such work. Another bill, only bare mention of which was mad by the newspapers, however, will. In my Judgment prove a most effective measure. This Is the law that provides that houses of 111 repute may be enjoined. Just as sa loons are now enjoined, for failure to ob serve the law. The law places within the hands of persons aggrieved by the pres ence of such places, a remedy which can be easily and effectively applied." Jl'DGE TO DECIDE MULCT CASKS Aanoaineriarat Made Salaoa Salts Will Be Terminated. Judge Wheeler, of the district court, an nounced yesterday that he would hand down this morning his decisions In the twenty-two saloon Injunction cases brought by the Anti-Saloon league In the name of Joseph Reader of Oakland as plaintiff, which had been taken under advisement by him. In practically all of these cases the Injunctions are sought on alleged technical violations of the mulct law.- In some cases, It is alleged that the defendant saloon keeper violated the law by failing to pay the mulct tax promptly on the first day of January. In other cases, It is . alleged, the saloonman was in violation of the law when he filed a renewal merely of his bond, and not a new one at the beginning of fhe year. Judge Wheeler yesterday Issued an order directing Sheriff McCaffery to bring Mar lon Kcdgepcth from the Fort Madlsoa penitentiary to the county Jail In this city, to be detained subject to the further order of the court. County Attorney Hess, who a few days ago. stated he would put Hedgepeth on trial again, stated yesterday that alnce reading the decision of the supreme court he could not say Just what disposition would be made of the ease. "I was firmly convinced of Hedgepeth'a guilt," said Mr. Hees, "and am still of the same opinion. The case Is now back for re-trial. Just how we shall proceed, I cannot "say, now." The damage ault of A. M. Lundgard against the Omaha ft Council Bluffs Street Railway company went to the Jury about i o'clock last evening. A verdict for the plaintiff In the sum of $376 was returned t 10 o'clock. Lundgard sued for $1,000 damages for being ejected with a dog from a car -and for $26 damages for the death of the dog, which was run over and killed by a car coming In the opposite direction. The court yesterday sustained a motion of the dofenae to eliminate the claim for the death of the canine. Real Estate Transfers.

It was the opinion of the min isters present that these places should be required to close at a reasonable hour at night and on Sundays and that minors should not be allowed to play In them, but should be prohibited from entering them. Rev. Marcus P. McClure, pastor of the First Presbyterian church and Harry Cur tic, general secretary of the Toung Men's Christian association were appointed a committee to confer with the city solicitor, city council and others with a view to procure the passage of an early date of an ordinance providing for the stricter regulation of these places.

Prof. Bailey took a broad stand in his ad dress, which was upon the subject of "The Country Life of Tomorrow." Reform our rural governments, give more money to our schoo's, shorten the hours of labor on the farm, and make farm life such that It shall be sufficient in Itself and not compel country people to "retire'" to town, were some of the things which Prof. Bailey ad vocates as most essential.

Iowa CARROLL IS ACTING SLOWLY Governor of Iowa Holds Hundred Bills Without Signing. HEARING ASKED ON MOON BILL Financial Representative 1 nder rw Board of Kdneatlon l.arr Moat All Iteslde at lira Moines. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., April IX (Speclsl.) Nearly 100 bills passed by the legislature are yet unsigned by Governor Carroll not that he is contemplating on whether or not to sign them he Is meiciy going over the laws carefully before affixing his slgna ture. As a matter of fact there have been but three requests for hearings before him on bills before he affixes his signature. These are: The Monn saloon limitation bill. The railroad penalty for violation of com mission orders. Amendment to law on appeal In criminal cases. The liquor Interests are. of course, back of the hearing on the first mentioned, which provides that In wet counties .there shall not be more than one saloon for each 1,000 Inhabitants. . William Blrdssll of Wi terloo will speak on this proposition, but much doubt Is expressed by those who have watched the legislation as to any possibility of the governor refusing to sign the measure. The railroads are objecting to the law Just passed, which fixes a pen alty of $50 per day to them for disobeying orders issued by the State Railroad com missioners. The law was passed because the commission pointed out how futile were Its orders If they could not be en forced by penalty. The objection to the amendment to the law of practice with reference to criminal cases is made by lawyers from Fort Dodge. This new law cut down the time within which an appeal In a criminal case csn be taken from one year to six months. Financial Managers at Capital.

This statement Is based on a table giving the earnings for the twelve months ending November 30, 19M, when the full effect of the business became evident, with the pro ceding twelve. This avoids the error of Including the fattest months In railway history in the same jear with the lean months that followed K.
