CARROLL TO APPOINT JUDGE
Death of Judge, Fellows at Lansing
Leaves Vacancy.
TWO CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD

' (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, la..' July V-(SpeelaJ
TelegramO-Qovernor Carroll Is wrestling
with the problem whom to appoint Judge
in the Thirteenth dlatrlct. which is In
northwestern Jowa, a vacancy having oc
cured by reason of the death of Judge
Follows at Lansing., . W. A. Smith of
Kashua and W. J. Springer of New
Hampton are the present candidates, but
It is expected there will be others. The
governor . may wait until the republican
central committee selects a candidate to
go on the ballot and then name him for
the vacancy.
The counties of the" state will tomorrow
receive distribution of $170,000 of money
received from the licensing of automo
biles, the same being the collections of
the first half of the year. The money
win go Into the road funds. The July
collections amounted to over $37,000.
, Another Leprosy Sonpect.
The State Board of Health has re
ceived word that Bay City, Mich., Is
having trouble with another leprosy
victim. The case Is almost parallel to
that of Hlrshfleld, who was found In
Centervllie and was taken back to Mich
igan, by automobile. In this case one
Samuel Isen escaped from quarantine and
was found In Buffalo, where his leprosy
was discovered.
Decreaeed .assessment.
The state auditor report that the re
turns from eight counties show that the
new law on the assessment of moneys
and ertdlts. Instead of showing an In
crease In the total returned from taxa
tion shows a decrease. The theory of
the new. law was that by placing a flat
taxation rate very low a larger propor
Hon of the money of the state would be
given In for taxation. - In many counties
it had this effect to a' very slight de
gree, but In some counties It had the
opposite, effect.
?- Too Match rqbltcltr.
.Too much publicity was given to the
negotiations for reduced rates for Iowa
people to the state fair and other fairs,
with the' result that all hope of a reduc
tion has vanished. The State Board ot
Agriculture has been carrying on cor
respondence with a view to securing con
cessions and seemed to have an excellent
chance of accomplishing something when
locaj boosters, more anxious to get Ino
the papers with great storiea ot what they
were about, to do spoiled It by news
paper publicity that will prevent any fa
vourable action at this time.
Will Get General Law.
Western railroad commissions have
been asked to Join with Iowa In the mat
ter of urging congress to adopt the
Kenyon bills for giving to the Interstate
Commerce commission authority to make
a uniform classification ot freight for
all railroad and appropriating sufficient
mpney to enable the commission to do
the. work. The bills were reported favor
ably by tha committee ot whtcb Senator
. Cummins ia member and be waa placed
in charge t them. The bills grow out of
the ' trouble1 over . official classification
Kd. 1 and would enable the commission
tx do Just what three committees have
s been trjring In. vain Us do. la the ay.of
unifying the classification of freight on
a scientific basis.'
Ex pee t State to Support.
A plan is being evolved here for . or
ganising under the auaplces -of -the
Greater Pea Moines committee a move
ment to take over' a large part of tho
work being done by the state college at
Ames and, have it done from here, with
a state appropriation, in relation to tho
teaching of better farming in the state.
The movement Is started by Prof. P. Q.
Holden of Ames, formerly connected with
the college, but who resigned to enter
politics. It is believed by the Dee
Moines promoters that the legislature
will readily make the appropriations for
this bureau Instead of turning It all over
to the college.

In discussing the matter, he said thoy

tj-id ivrnrT irja ral .Tnlv 31. The case
of the defense In the bribery trial ot
Clarence S. Parrow reached Its oiimax
todav In a mass of denials and contra
dictions by the lawyer-defendant himself
In which he verbally swept away every
charge and accusation made against him
since the trial began. Every wired and
particle of incriminating testimony given
bv Bert Franklin. John R. Harrington,
George Behm, Detective Guy Blddinger,
In fact every bit of evidence put porting
to involve him In any wrong dnlna was
characterized by Darrow as faUe.
After the denials came a narration by
the defendant of negotiations w.i.ch cul
minated in the compromise pleat, of the
MoNamara brothers. These details pur
ported to show lack of motive for the
corruption of Jurors.
Throughout the long day on the wit
ness stand, Parrow's voice nevr rose
above the ordinary conversational pitch
and It waa only when telling of the bur
den which rested upon him In bargan:ln
for tho lives of his clients that he. snowed
any trace cf nervousness or emotion.
It waa the hopelessness of the cise he
said which prevailed upon him to agree
to the Lincoln Steffens proposition In
which he had little faith at Its Inception.
