Krain.) Mrs. Jennie Hutgelc. former
county superintendent, today commenced
suit against Oeonto Poorman, axpert ac
countant employed by the county board,
for $15,000 damages on account of alleged
defamation of character and misrepre
sentation regarding her and her office
made In his report of the examination of
the office last fall.
He reported a shortage in funds and
that the accounts were very badly kept,

cause the house of representatives passed
the resolution for a constitutional amend
ment by a big majority, became sad this
afternoon when the senate committee on
constitutional amendments recommended
the same measure for Indefinite postpone
ment and will so report to the senate. The
senators believe this will put an end to
the matter for this session.

Supreme Court Rlifhta.
The senate spent the forenoon discussing
the advisability of requiring that the su

stitutionality of a law be unanimous. The
bill came from the committee with recom
mendation that It be Indefinitely post
poned, and the discussion was on this re
port. The bill had passed the house and
was urged by Attorney General Cosson.
The report was adopted by a vote of 27
to 17, which defeats the bill.

Rnnd Slrnsares Com In sr.
The preliminary work of the legislative
committees In the matter of highway leg.
'slatlon Is about completed, and Chairman
Balktma of tho highway committee will
soon present several new bills to the
legislature embodying the best thought
or tho members. The general bill ror a
highway commission and for a classifica
tion of the roads. has been completed. A
llll for a county tax levy In aid of paved
londs 1b in preparation ana a bill to au
Ihorize state aid for roads. The members
of thq committees say that they1 will
give the legislature an opportunity to
vote on every good -Idea proposed. At
the beginning of the session the views of
members differed widely on almost every
phase of the road question, but they are
now getting together on a few general
principles that will be advocated.
Workmen! Compensation.
Senator Webber of Wapello county has
Introduced In the senate an entirely new
bill relating to employers' liability and
workmen's compensation for Injuries.
Tl:ls Is somewhat like the bill recom
mended to :tl)e Missouri legislature after
nn exhaurtlve Investigation of the sub
.'ret. It applies to all Industries and to
all employes regardless of number. The
employer may elect to come under the
provisions of the law or remain out and
tal his chances with the present laws.
If he elects to take advantage of the law
lie must take out liability Insurance.
Compensation for Injuries Is fixed at E0
per cent of the wage per week. For
total disability or death the compensation
continues for GOO weeks. The bill Is of
fered as a substitute for the Iowa com
mission bill now before tho senate.
No Nevr Normal Schools.
The senate committee on educational In
stitution has recommended for Indefinite
postponement the various bills relating to
normal schools. This means that so far
as the senate Is concerned It will not con
sider this, matter at all. The .house prob
ably will pass some kind of a bill looking
to the establishment of three new state
normal schools.
The bill to provide for state inspection
nf county accounts will probably be
Dassed very soon. H gives the state audi
tor four or five Inspectors who will give
to the accounts of the various counties
ttie same sort of lnvestgatlonihat Is
riven In the case of the cltlea and the
banks.
AVbrrr ibejf'Lnvryerm Dlinnrre,
Serious disagreement beween the law.
yers of the legislature over some of the
rortlp.il reform bills has appeared. The
senate committee on Judiciary has re
jiorted for postponement the bill from the
house which requires' that in order that
th supreme court may declare a law un
constitutional It shall be unanimous and
havo the decision In writing subscribed
to by every judge of the court. Borne of
the house lawyers are Insistent that this
would be a proper check on the courts
and would materially affect the status of
'aws that are questioned. A fight on the
floor of the senate Is threatened.
