Hol llster. the suits were brought against The First National bank of this city, Ernest E. Hart, John J. Splndler, Benjemln Marks. J. C. Mabray and alleged "steerers. In the Holllster suit Ben Marks was the only local defendant. Attorney Crawford explained that the suits were dismissed without prejudice be cause motions had been made by the de fendants to require cost bonds of the plain tiffs and his clients had not yet Indicated whether they were willing to put up these bonds. "My clients reside at a distance and they may not yet have received my letters which I wrote them regarding; this matter of the bonds. I expect to hear from them before long and I believe there Is no doubt they will furnish whatever bonds are required. When this Is done my petitions will be filed." said Mr. Crawford. It Is likely, Mr. Crawford said, that these suits will be reftled In the United States court as were the similar suits which were dismissed In the district court on Septem ber V. Mr. Crawford declared that there was no Intention to abandon the suits and laughed at the suggestion that possibly some of the "Mikes" were getting cold feet.

Richmond, chief of police, announced Saturday that beginning Mon day the curfew ordinance, which has been permitted to lie dormant for several years, will be put In force again. The number of young folk, especially girls, to be seen on the streets at late hours In the night has decided the chief that enforcement of this ordinance has become necessary. Chief Richmond said that the need of enforcing the curfew ordinance had been brought strongly to his attention by the address delivered by Mrs. Bullock of the purity department before the recent na tional convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union In Omaha. Mrs. Bullock said In Dart: "The children should be kept off the streets after dark. I find that gadding on the streets at night Is responsi ble for the ruin of most of our young girls. In cities where the curfew law Is enforced a very low percentage of girls going wrong is reported to me." Road Turned Over to Thompson Syndicate Headed by Nebraska.".

CARDS OOCS; IGNORES BABES Member Iowa Board of Health Criti cises Legislative Appropriation. NO MONEY FOR HUMAN HEALTH Dr. F.lker Folats Oat Men Are Pata1 to Protect Beer, bat Boars of Health Serves Free. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct SL -(Special.) "Eight thousand dollars to establish a laboratory for the manufacture of hog cholera serum that our farmers may get this serum at actual cost; but not 1 cent to assist In re ducing the cost of diphtheria antl-toxln and other serums for the use of our peo ple." This Is the criticism that Dr. B. L. Elker, a member of the State Board of Health, deals out to the way the legis latures of Iowa have been looking after the health of the people of the state. In a dosen or more ways by reading through the proceedings of the legislature Dr. Elker has discovered that this Is a state for hogs and cattle and even bees, but not of children. Like the woman who found that If her husband's hogs got sick the government would send an expert clear from Washington, but If her babies got sick she couldn't even find a bulletin that had been printed on the subject; so Dr. Elker tells the State Board of Health In a paper read before that body that owa has Just spent $100,000 on a new amphitheater from which the people can keep track of the horse races, but not 1 cent for keeping track of the birth records. While the death rate among hogs and cattle has been going down Dr. Elker finds that during the civil and Mexican wars there were three died of disease to every one now, while during the late Cuban war there were fourteen died of disease to every one shot He thinks this s not very flattering to the progress and enlightenment of the country. Some of Hie Criticisms. Here are a few of the things Dr. Elker has found: The annual useless waste of life In the United States represents 11,500.000.000, and yet when a volcano kills a hundred or so people we think it terrible. To teach the people how to be healthy the state has directly appropriated S5.O0O. or a little more than 2 mills each, while to teach the people how to farm It has appropriated at the last session of the legislature alone I1K9.000. "For a bacteriological laboratory to pro tect the people from contagious disease the last legislature appropriated 15,000 and for protecting the fish and game 110,000. "For hog cholera serum $8,000 and for diphtheria antl-toxln nothing. An Inspector of bees who Is to see that they are healthy and properly cared for was created, to be paid S3 a day and not to exceed $1,000 a year, while the mem bers of the State Board of Health serve without compensation of any kind. For the state entomologist to quarantine against Insects $1,000 and to quarantine the people against disease nothing." The fish, the game, the hoga, the agri cultural interests and the horse races all have liberal appropriations, declares Dr. Elker, but the people themselves and for their education along lines of health there Is no money at all. ,' Snores In Taberealoata Plajrht. Dr. Elker then proceeded to point PUt! to the State Board of Health that tha, state had appropriated liberal sums for. the purpose of educating the people on the sub ject of tuberculosis and had been ' so ' suc cessful that the ordinary citizen now knows more about tuberculosis than physicians did a few years ago. He declares that the same thing should be done as to all other matters of health and he believes that It can be done as successfully. He pointed out that nearly every town of any slxe has one or more who are totally blind or deaf or both be cause of Improper care, while they had scarlet fever. He declared that venereal diseases are even more danserous than tuberculosis and that the' need of proper education on the part of the people Is even morr Important and yet for these the state does nothing. Three linea of action were recommended by Dr. Elker as solutions to the problem. First he believes the State Board of Health should be reduced from ten to three members and these requlrd to devote all thlr time to tha work on a proper salary. Second, suffllcent appropriations to allow the State Board of Health to carry on Its work. Third a system of education similar to that used In educating the people on the subject of tuberculosis. Hsa Evidence Ready. After the state board of railroad finishes Its Investigation of the Indlanola branch of the Burlington, Gels Botsford. secretaary of the Comerclal club, will lay before the board some evidence he has oolected against the Cumberland branch of the same road.

For fourteen years the people of Cum berland have .not had a regular passenger train," said Botsford today.

INCREASE IN DRUNK ARRESTS The Portland Pally Argue and the pid- deford Record Discuss Flagrant Violations of Prohibitory Law Throughout Maine. Rev. H. N. Prlngle of Watervllle, Me. has Just made a thorough personal ex amination of conditions In Portland touching the open. Illegal sale of liquor. He Is a prohibitionist. His writ ten report reads as follows: "The Odlorne Bottling company, 60 62 Cross street, was raided on my com plaint on September 7, and about $1,000 worth of intoxicating liquors were seised. We found at this place, an immense quantity of empty bottles and jugs in the basement and on each of the two floors above. I think It would be a conservative estimate that there were 1,500 barrels of 'empties' In this establishment. In one room there was a row of bins which hold about ten tons of coal, each. These were filled with empty Jtigs and beer bottles, like the full ones' found at the boat and train sheds the next night. In one part of the building were 300 barrels of empty beer bottles ready for shipment to St. Louis. At least $3,000 worth of empty bottles were left at this establishment, instead of being confiscated for the benefit of the country. I understand that the county officials not only neg lect to make such confiscations, but have recently assisted Massachusetts brewers in recovering their empty beer bottles. "These disclosures are made In be half of enforced prohibition and rep resent, we submit, more Intelligent sup port of the temperance cause than the misrepresentation of William H. An derson, Washington, D. C, the na tional legislative superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, who in a full page article says (American Issue, Chicago, Sept. 11, 1909: 'We made two visits to Portland and took particular pains to ride about on the street cars and to walk the streets In different parts of tho city very thoroughly. We are will ing to admit that possibly some of these glib correspondents are telling the truth when they say that they can get liquor, for after a fellow becomes "THE TRAIN OF The Popular ; .;. hi Leaves Omaha at 6:30 p. m. lion Arrives Chicago 8:07 p. m. -, This train is about perfect for all classes of travel. ; ' It is brilliantly lighted by electricity, generated by a dynamo in charge of the train electrician.

All we can say is that after going thoroughly over the city, tho poorer aa well as the bet ter sections, we did not see a, single thing which Indicated that it was pos sible to secure liquor, nor did we see a single man who looked like he had secured it. "In fairness to the city and county officials at Portland, we wish to add that, while it has sometimes been dif ficult to procure warrants and the sen tences imposed have in some cases semed light according to the offense committed, there has been faithful service of the warrant and fair use of the evidence at the trial in every case we have brought. The nullification: of the liquor law and the increase of ar rests for drunkenness from 3,698 in 1905-6 to 6,366 in 1907-8 in Portland may be attributed to overconservatlve administration of the law. In Portland ao injunctions are brought against property owners who knowingly let their buildings to liquor sellers. Thoss who sell liquor are rarely sentenced to jail in the superior court and al most never in the municipal court. Evi dence obtained by purchase or selsure of intoxicants is used for only one or two charges, instead of the maximum number. Clerks, Instead of proprietors, are usually arrested when seizures are made. When the coming of the Sturgls deputies is feared by the politicians, four policemen are put on the job of closing , the saloons and, seventy-alx policemen are ordered to let It alone. n. IN. I'HIINUL.K, "WatenrUle, Me., Sept. 20, 1909." Drunkenness Increases. Commenting upon the above report, the Portland Daily Argus of Septem ber 24, 1909, says: "Here we have the testimony of a strong prohibitionist that the ' liquor law Is laxly enforced In Portland, and that the sort of enforcement in vogue 'Is a shame,' and he produces the evi dence to back up his statements. He finds that the volume of liquor sales has not diminished; there has been simply a change In methods. 'There seems to be more anxiety In Portland lest the Sturgls deputies be sent there than there Is lest liquor selling and drunkenness Increases, so that license cities put Portland, to shame.' 'The coming of the Sturgls deputies Is feared by the politicians,' says Mr. Prlngle In his letter to the Argus. No doubt. But what have the Sturgls com missioners to do with the fears of the politicians? Why should their action be affected by such fears? Their busi ness Is to enforce the law, without fear or favor, and without regard to the schemes of politicians." There is a statute forbidding the sale of liquor to a drunkard. Any licensed liquor seller violating this lav may be held responsible for resulting pauperism, and his bondsmen may be used to pay cost of -maintaining such pauper.
