Some Meaning that
Colonel Welsh
A threatening message was received
yesterday by Coloned L, A. Welsh, bead
of the Iceal weather bureau.
It rame by tHegraph from a northern
city and readn a follows:
"BEWARE BOMB. DUELLO."
Certainly It looks serious. -
Apparently It Is a Black Hand warning,
the aignature, "Duello." being p'.ainly
Italian.
But where could be the possible mo
tive? That is what the colonel's friend
asked.
Colonel Welsh has no enemy that he
knows of In all the 'world.
He did not necrn In the least uneasy on
account of the threat, but wti cheerily
st work yesterday morning as usual over
hla "areas of low presaure," hia "lo
therma" and his "wind directions."
Friend ventured the. suggestion that
the aender, Duello,, waa probably some
crank who waa determined to rid the
world of tha man whom he believed to be
responsible for the woes of a shivering,
snow-ahovellng humanity.
There was genuine and undisguised sd
miration for the coolness with which the
nblonel took it all
Little groups stood aalde and regarded
him as he calmly smoked his pipe while
he worked. They commented admiringly
on hla "nerve."
"Tskes a brave men 'to be as cool aa
him when you don't know what minute
that dago may come rushtn' In an'
throwin" that bum," said one. ,
Several of hla audltora at once made a
hasty exit In fact, the commendable
principle of "safety first" was ao much
In evidence that the office was quickly
cleared of all save one.

colonel.
"Have have you reported that threat

IOWA"- FINANCE ARE ISSUE
Proposition to Abandon Milage Tax
it Opposed by State Schools and
Charitable Institutions. . .
ASK FOB TWO MILLION DOLLARS
(From a 8taff-Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINEfl, March 2S.-(8peclal.)-Of
the; big appropriations neoessary by - the
legislature It Is probable that action will
first be taken oa the -bills needed for the
support of the Board of Control Institu
tions and then the bill for the Board of
Education Institutions. These two classea
of Institutions will take the larger part
of the money which, the state Is using;
annually. But for them the a tat would
not need to levy any general tax for state
purposes.
Of ths million dollars which the legisla
ture has for appropriations, the college
want more than a million and the char
itable Institutions call for nearly as much.
The Increase asked In the 'support
funds for the colleges amount to about
S4CO.00O, but with the mlllage' tax this Is
fsr more than doubled. The senste com
mittee has recommended fbr ipassage a
bill for the Board of Control of $.171,000
for lta Institutions...,. tre' same committee
has Introduced a bill which calls for di
rect appropriation of S'CS.OOO', but this Is
In lieu of certain rolitage tnies which
Would be abandoned if this bill is passed.
The legislators are far from agreed as
yet on how to handle the needs of the
educational Institutions.' Whether they
can afford to abandon the miliars tax
system is regarded as doubtful. In the
end It would be much bttter to go to
direct appropriations and to havs one
tax for the entire state Including alt the
special purposes. But members frankly
admit they fear the political result of this
situation. The colleges and their repre
sentatives want the mlilage taxea con
tinued as the right way to get at ths per
manent improvements of the Institutions.
t'ttlea ef lew. Want Ileuse ttale.
One of the activities of the lows League
of Municipalities during the session of the
legislature has been that of seeking to
provide a large measure of home rule for
the cities. A bill was offered which Is
In the exact wording of the new Ohio
constitution, giving to. municipalities sU
rights and powers that sis not directly
restricted by the legislature. The pur
pose of this la to enable the cities and
towns to better handle their local affairs,
especially as to finances and public Im
provements. But the Idta prevailed that
one purpose of thla was to relieve the
cities of the duty of giving soma atten
tion to state laws, or, In other words, to
place on .the sheriffs all ths reuponslbllity
for enforcement ef state laws, leaving to
the police only the duty of enforcing city
ordinances. Now. after the house has
defeated the measure In Its original form.
the rifles have proposed a new bill whioh
will make It clear that there Is no Inten
tion of relieving the cities of the duty of
enforcing sUte laws, and also an amend
ment that will forbid any city Incurring
a debt beyond that which Is permitted
under the state laws. It is believed that
Id this form It can be passed.
Aate rletea Prlios Made.
A new scheme has been propoeed for
the making ef the automobile platea for
Iowa antoa. It Is that they shall be
made at the state prison, the warden
equipping a plsnt for their manufacture.
It la believed that In thla way a con
siderable saving can be effected . and
there can be no objection on the part of
the labor unions to having the prisoners
employed la this work for the state. It
la planned, however, to have the plates
K made that they are good tor three
years and thus the work of distribution of
the plates will be materially lessened and
the stats would get the same license fees
as now. It la expected that the license
fees for the mlilage taxes will thla year
run to about ll.li-O.OOO, the money going
back Into the road funds.
Kstenaa Life mt t'erlela galooas.
A peculiar bill for an especially dry
legislature to pass v. us one the other
lsy, which passed the house almost
without opposition, extending the life of
certain saloon la Davenport and Du
buque. Vnder the state law as 11 ex
ists bow, the number uf saloons In any
city Is limited to one for each l.uou pi
habltanta. An exception waa made to
this In the case of lbs two cities named.
because of the fact ' that they had so
many saloons and they were given until
next July to reduce their, number.. Now
a bill passed to extend the time for' re
duction uaUl the first ef next year,
which time all the saloons In those cities
will go out of buslaesa, because of the
repeal of the ' mulct law. ale the dry
legislature ha voted to outlaw all
saloons, but to extend the exist m for
sis month of some of tttiu.

where Count d' Artagnan. the original
of Pumas' hero, slept In twentieth
century emulators of the "Three Musket

In so much comfort snd good cheer, and
under such scientific csre. that they
seem glad to be there.
With the etd of distinguished American
surgeons, who have, volunteered for the
service, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Is
doing here, through her auxiliary of the
American ambulance, some of that hos
pital work which the Marquis de Vogue,
president of the French Bed Cross, says
has touched the .hearts of the French
people."
Haw a Modern Hospital.
Under the direct supervision of Dr.
Walton Martin, professor of clinical
surgery at Columbia university and of
St. Luke's hospital. New York, the an
cient abbey has been transformed Into a
hospital so thoroughly modern that even
the 700-year-old, structure seems to have
been freshly built for It A month's time
was sufficient to fit it with steam heat,
sterilising apparatus, disinfecting plant.
X-ray outfit, modern kitchen, laundry,
three fully equipped operating rooms and
ISO bods, with a possible accommodation
for no beds.
Every doctor in the neighborhood being
off to the war, the hospital staff is caring
also for the Civilian population. There
are now seventy-five wounded soldiers
In the four wards, and more are arriving
every day. They come directly from the
distributing stations behind the front In
ten suto-ambulances brought from
America, and they are transported so
comfortably that they often enjoy a rest
ful sleep on the w'ay.

Dr. Martin, Dr. Karl Vogel, professor
of clinical pathology, and Drs. Connell

Mostly Aisertrss Nurses.
Of the fourteen trained nurses, one is
