"MIKE" CASES DISMISSED
Eight of Them Abandon Actions to
Eecorer Money Lost
COST BONDS STUMMING BLOCK
A Horsey Crawford latltnatea the
Cases Will Be Refllrd, Probably
la the Federal Coort, Whea
Clients Rrifosi.
Eight mora suits brought by "Mikes" in
the district court In Council Bluffs to re
cover the amounts out of which they
claimed to have been swindled by the J. C.
Mabray gang were dismissed Saturday by
N. A. Crawford, attorney for the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs In the suits dismissed
yesterday and the amounts which they
sought to recover are as follws:
J. C. Bowmsn, Sllverton. Colo.. flS.700;
Joseph P. Walker. Denver. Colo., 4 1:
James Webber. Shamokln, Fa., I3.WJ0;
Adolph Teske, Hardin. Mont., II. Z.O; K. L.
King. Fowler, Colo.. IZ.0U0: e. Nelson i-ren.
Toledo. O., $4 000; H. J. Holllster, Minneap
olis. Minn.. 110,000; C. A. Nelson, Alma,
Mich., 12.000.
The amounts sued for In the eight cases
aggregated $33,065.
With the exception of that of H. J. 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.

Carfew to Be Eaforced.
Major G. H. 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."

MURDERER DECLARED INSANE
James W. Blanton, Who Killed Sasa
T. Hood at Kansas City, Must
Go to Aaylam.
KANSAS CITT. Mo., Oct 31. -James W
Blanton, who shot and killed Sam T. Hood
In this city last January, must go to the
State Asylum for the Insane, according
to the verdict of a Jury In the criminal
court.
Blanton went to Hood's office and killed
him, following a quarrel caused by Blan
ton accusing Hood of circulating a scan
dalous story about the wife of a local
business man. Ill feeling existed between
the men, also, because Blanton, who was
divorced from his wife, blamed Hood for
his domestic troubles.
The verdict found Blanton not guilty of
murder on the ground that he was insane
when he shot Hood. It was held that Blan
ton had not fully recovered his sanity.

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.
Residents of Cumberland say that It takes
them three days to get mall because tne
only trains on the road are made up
principally of freight cars.
For fourteen years the people of Cum
berland have .not had a regular passenger
train," said Botsford today.

REPORT OF REV. H. N.
PRINGLE OF MAINE
Based on Personal Examination
of Situation in Portland.
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

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

a sort of Instinct or affinity which
helps him out in such cases. 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. ' ''
