Legislative Committee Finds
University Has Made Great
Advancement
RECOMMENDS $254,000 FOR IT
Larger Part of This Sum Needed For
Support Fund—Site For Tuberculosis
Hospital Endorsed—Stock Food Bill
Opposed Before Committee on Ground
It Is Unnecessary.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 14.—The joint com
mittee on visiting the Iowa State uni
versity made a report yesterday that
was! decidedly flattering to that edu
cational Institution. The trustees had
asked appropriations aggregating $443,
000, and the visiting committee en
dorses appropriations for $254,000. Of
this, $110,000 is for additions to the
support fund, $40,000 for land, $45,000
for equipment of new science building,
etc., and $30,000 for general equipment
and supplies. In general the commit
tee stated:
"Your committee desires to congrat
ulate the people of the state on the ap
parent advancement of the university
in all lines and departments bf its ed
ucational work. Its attendance for the
year 1904-5 was 1,560, and for 1905-6
was 1,815, an increase of 18 per cent,
being a greater per cent of increase
than that of any school of like rank
and character in the United Spates.
The increase so far this year is over
200, the proportionate increase being
about the same as that of last year.
With this great increase in attend
ance, the university in all departments
is ovfercrowddd, notwithstanding the
substantial new buildings that have
been erected the past few years. The
completion of the new science hall will
give relief to some of the departments.
The registration, in some Instances, has
had to be refused on account of lack
of room. We think the university is
as well managed as the means at com
mand and the system in vogue will
permit, and we feel that the university
has become one of the foremost uni
versities of this country. We are par
ticularly gratified 'with the large and
substantial growth of the graduate
college, which is the apex of all uni
versity work. The enrollment in the
graduate college is larger than that of
any of the western states, exceeding
that of Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Missouri, Nebraska and Minnesota."
The summer school last year had 282
students and the expenditure was $5,
546.
The chief iteril of the large appropri
ation endorsed by the committee is
that relating to the annual support
fund. On this the committee says:
A
"The" present annual appropriations
already fixed by, law for the university
amounts to $205,500 We fell that at
the present time there should be no
additions to the annual appropriations
for educational instruction, but what
ever of appropriations are made by
this general assembly should be special
appropriations. We feel that the time
is soon at hand when the support of
the three educational institutions will
be on the millage basis. The legisla
ture of Michigan, now in session, has
increased the millage tax for the sup
port of their university from mill
to mill, thus doubling their appro
priation, but we make no recommen
dations for millage tax for support of
this general assembly. The first con
sideration that the university should
receive is that of 4ts support fund.
Without it the university would toe un
able to exist. The large and gratifying
growth of the university has necessi
tated. and will continue to necessitate
a much larger support fund.. We feel
that the asking of $120,000 for addi
tional support Is likely to be all needed
before the end of the biennium, but
when we take into consideration the
many demands of the available funds at
the disposal of the general assembly
we have concluded to recommend a
curtailment of this asking of $10,000,
and we therefore recommend a special
appropriation of $110,000 for support
for the ensuing bienriiuni, and we ask
hat there shall be no curtailment of
this amount, as we feel assured that
a! of this will be needed."
The committee recommends $5,000
for repair and contingent and $15,000
for library fund support. The commit
tee disapproves of the asking of money
f.-.r land for a woman's dormitory but
does recommend $40,000 for land for
the proposed new law touilding and for
other purposes just west of present
campus. The asking for $45,000 for
equipping the new science building,
the new wing of the 'hospital, steam
laboratories, etc., ia approved also the
$30,000 for general equipment. While
recognizing the need of a women's
dormitory the committee declines to
recommend the $125,000 therefore. The
asking of $5,000 for paving and side
walks is approved, and $4,000 for im
provement of the grounds. The $10
003 asked for mechanical stokers is
approved
The same committee visited the state
bacteriological laboratory at Iowa City
and highly commended the work.. The
laboratory examined 3,580 specimens
the first year and 5,199 the past quar
ter. and the total for the third year is
likely to be 10,000. The value of this
work based on commercial rates would
be about $38,000 a year.. An appropria
tion of $7,000 is recommended.
The committee also visited the site
for the i3tate tuberculosis farm near
Iowa City and declares "the board of
control should be commended in se
lecting so favorable a location for the
proposed hospital."
At the hearing before the joint com
mittees of the house and senate on
agriculture on the pure stock food bill,
yesterday evening, representatives of
the manufacturers of commercial and
condimental stock foods argued that
the bill was unnecessary for the rea
son that the subject is already covered
by the state pure food law, that the
subject of pure foods and pure seeds
should net be treated In the same bill
that instead of a tag tax of 10 cents
on each 100 pound -sacW or package,
there should be a license fee of $100
charged each factory. A strong effort
was made to make a showing against
the bill in order to defeat its being
recommendation from the committee.
Professor Michael, of the State Agri
cultural college, appeared before the
committee with samples showing the
analysis of the various stock foods
which had been gathered up about the
state. He showed grossi adulteration
and showed that many of the stock
foods supposed to contain great merit
for fattening stock have little oil no
merit, and that the mixing of food is
a thing that any intelligent fanner who
informs himself can do much cheaper
andi more satisfactorily than is that
which he buys. Governor Packard, of
Marshalltown, of the committee of the
state department of agriculture which
made the investigations, explained the
purposes of: the bill and the Investiga
tion made. State Food and Dairy Com
missioner Wright told the committee
that the present pure food law is not
adequate to handle the stock food
question, for the reason that if a food
Is made up entirely of corn and oat
hulls, and Is worthless, It can yet pass
as being made •'from corn and oats.
Professor Curtlss, of the state college,
also championed the bill. The com
mittee will not act on the measure till
a later session.
The house Insurance committee has
voted to report for passage the bill
by Jones of Montgomery, providing
that insurance companies must get the
approval of the state auditor and attor
ney general to their articles of incor
poration before they do business in
this state, and must .have the same ap
proval to any amendments to their ar
ticles of incorporation.
The bill providing for the assessment
and taxation of rural and farm tele
phone lines h&s been reported out, with
the recommendation that it do pass.
Bixby of Delaware has introduced a'
bill providing for appropriating $3,000
to the state college for experiments for
the corn growers' association.

olic Church Prelates, Was for Pur
pose of Discussing the Secret Or
ganizations Under Church's Ban
Outcome is Uncertain.

part of last week in Dubuque, Arch
bishops Ireland, of St. Paul Mesmer..
of Milwaukee Glennon, of St. Louis,

tation in this city, the nature of which
was not divulged, altho efforts were
made to ascertain the cause of the
meeting and the results of the same.
Inquiry was made of Archbishops Ire
land and Keane, but both-refused to
discuss the matter. However, it has
leaked out that they met by appoint
ment of the church heirarchy, to dis
cuss the secret organizations under
the ban of the church, that they might
report to the meeting of the hierarchy
to be held in Washington after, Easter.
It is stated that the committee was
appointed to Investigate whether it was
best to place a ban on all the secret
societies in general, or a few of those

ern Woodmen, Eagles, Elks, Yeomen,
Woodmen of t'he World, Tribe of Ben
Hur, Maccabees, etc., are all hit by the
investigation, but the outcome remains
to be seen. It is stated that the con
sultation terminated without a definite
conclusion being reached by the arch
bishops, so that two reports will be
made to the heirarchy. It is stated
Archbishop Mesmer dissented and
rumor has it that he favored a ban on
many of the leading societies of the
country.

shot him were not tramps. Regarding
his assailants, MagiJal says: "They
were both very well dressed and neith
er pne of them was more than 20
years old. It was the taller eff the
two who held the revolver, and who
did the shooting. I think their object
was to rob me, but when I ran from
thel office after I was shot they got
scared and came out the front door
and ran north toward the Milwaukee
shops. I never saw either one of them
furors, Futmrarg 14 1307
before, but I could identify the smaller
and younger one of the two. He wore
a long black overcoat and a black
muffler and had gloves. He Was only
a boy and did not look like any one
who would shoot or steal. I believe the
pair are Dubuque boys and that they
knew that I kept money at the office.

Upon That of Mrs. Fred West, Ma

v.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 14.—Unable to se
cure bondsmen, both Mrs. Fred West,
proprietress of the Thirty-fifth street
maternity home, bound over to the
grand Jury for the alleged murder of'
"Baby Jim," and Nurse Anna Beattie,
have been committed to the county jail.
The women may be able to obtain their
liberty today. Charges having been
filed by Mrs. Elizabeth Baird, secre
tary of the Humane society. Nurse
Beattie's arrest yesterday was accom
plished only half an hour later than
that of her companion, at Mrs. West's
home, by Detectives Johnston, Simms
and Breniiemer.
As predicted, Mrs. West's attorneys
begged permission at the close of the
.morning's. session before Justice Roe,
to waive.to the grand# jury. This priv
ilege was denied,, the justice holding
that as all of the evidence was in, the
defense had relinquished rights to
waive. Justice Roe then reviewed the
evidence that had already been pre
sented, and without requiring the state
to make rebuttal, held the defendant to
the grand jury. Her bonds were fixed
in the sum of $10,000.
The. moment Mr. DeGraff arose to
address the court after the deferise had
rested, Mrs'. Baird hurried to the office
of Justice Cope and filed the Identical
charge that had been brought against
Mrs. West a few days ago. As in the
West hearing, Miss Flora Goble will be
the chief witness against Miss Beattie.
The evidence already introduced by
the state in the West case, including
the testimony of Miss Beattie herself,
is held to be sufficient ground for the
most recent action.

PURE FOOD LAW VIOLATIONS
Information Filed Against Grocery
Company and Butcher of Belle
Plaine,
Special to Times-Republican.
Belle Plaine, Feb. 14.—A state pure
food inspector was in the city yester
day, and filed information against the
Hartmar. Grocery company, and Martin
Benda, butcher, for violations of the
pure food law? the former for selling
oleomargarine that was not labeled,
and the latter for selling stale fish.
Both canes were continued until Feb
ruary 15, and one or both will be con
tested. If the law has been violated
by these parties or other merchants, it
Is generally believed that the violation
was due to carelessness rather than In
tention. These are the first prosecu
tions that have been started in Belle
Plaine under the new law, an^ they
will at least cause merchants and oth
ers to look up Its provisions and make
greater efforts to obey it.
