It was not known what caused the ex

Superintendent Lorenx was found
crawling along .the ground . trylec to

It Is possible that the real story- of
the explosion may never be known, as
all who were In a position to know wero
killed.
While Superintendent Lorenz was In
the Thine at the time of the flrjt ex
plosion he was about So feet from It.
and it Is not thought he knows the caus.
He Is not In condition to talk. While the
Impression ' seems to be that the first
explosion was that of dynamite; It is also
possible that It might have been 'Jiie to
gas. The men were killed In three dif
ferent ways. Some of them were .vio
lently hurled against the side of the tun

criished, some were burned to death by
the explosion of gas and others "were suf

IOWA FARM TOES RAISED
Big Increase in Assessments Blamed
on Cities. .
SUIT IS FILED BY LEAGUE
It Shows to Court that I .an da and
nallroaaTa Had Been Amnod
Much Lower Than PrP
rtr in Cltlea. 1
DBS' MOINES, la., August 3. (KpscU.1.)
The responsibility, to a very large ex
tent, for the enormous Increase tn farm
land values for taxation purposes this
year must rest with the Iowa leatruo of
municipalities and the secretary of tha
state executive council. The league of
municipalities brought the suit last year
to have tho district court declare that
assessments were too low and the result
was an order to have the assessments
raised to actual market value. While
this was directed at all property. It was
necessarily most easily followed In re
gard to farm lands. The league also
employed others to assist In making a
showing as to railroad and land valua
tions and showed that as compared with
town property they were both under
valued.
Secretary Davison of the state executive
council also did a great deal of work
making a showing In regard to farm
land, values. Ha compiled a vast amount
of information In regard to the value of
land In the market and how this value
compared with actual assessments. lie
gave assistance to tho league of mu
nicipalities in malting the general show
ing. The taxable value or property In the
state is not yet up to full value, but the
state officials believe that It Is so nearly
to that value that no fault can be found
and It is at least as high as the SO per
cent assessment on moneys and credits.
The result wUl be a great decrease In tax
levies all over tho state. It will be of
help, however. In many ways to have the
assessed values higher so that there will
be greater liberty In financial transac
tions. Will Give More for Colleges.
One unexpected result of 'the suit of
the league of municipalities' and the con
sequent raise In property valuations, will
be to give the state educational' Institu
tions more money for operations. The
Increase tn the valuation will be about
the same as an Increase of a half mill
In the tax levy. Tho building funds of
the colleges and the support fund of the
college at Ames are on fixed levies so
that they will not be reduced. This will
be an enormous addition to tho annual
lncomfe of these Institutions.
This Increase, however, will not be
available for some time and for the pres
ent the colleges will continue with the
old appropriations. The college tax
levies are for five years.
IlollroniS probably Will Complain.
The state officials anticipate that the
railroad companies will makg ft nig cotn
plaint about havin their
assess
ment- of thV,ratlroads
is now al)ou dn
'an equality with' that' of other property.
For a number or years the value placed
On lows, railroads had been held down
because of the tendertcy vf the local as
sessors to undervalue all property. There
was eVldenco before the council that the
actual commercial value of the Iowa
railroads was about 1880,000,000. The value
placed by the council on these railroads
Is even greater than' this, and then the
sura was scaled down to the 0 per cent
basts of the moneys and credit law.
State Fair Rate Case.,
Btate officials were really "not very
greatly surprised over the decision of tho
three federal Judges In the state fair rate
case. It was recognized by tho legislature
Itself that the question was a doubtful
one and that the courts might declare
the law void. But state officials put up
a good fight to sustain the law and will
carry It higher In the hope of having the
law sustained finally. For a good many
years the rallroada had made a reduced
rate to the fair, but they withdrew It a
few years ago and compelled a higher
rate. If the farmers had not Become ac
customed to the reduction they probably
would have thought little of It, but hav-
Ing become used to a reduced rate to
thit event, they balked on paying full
rate and as a result the attendance at the
fair was reduced.
Bcnie Ife Is n Carnrntrr,
B. W. Van Duyn, former state labor
commissioner, has laid before the Board
of Parole the matter of a parole for one
W. U MoDonald, who Is in Jail in Indian

gery at Davenport and after a brief time
at the reformatory Was paroled. He left
tbs state and went to Indianapolis, where
he was convicted of assault and battery!
Then he was discovered by the Iowa au
thorities, who have directed that he be
brought back here to finish his term.
McDonald is a union carpenter, and Van
