GIVES THE COURT
REMOVAL POWER
Des Moines, Feb. 24.—Senator Cos
sons removal bill, after having been
rewritten in such form that the re
moval of officials for malfeasance in
office is to be accomplished through
the district courts instead of the gov
ernor, was voted out of the judiciary
committee of the senate yesterday aft
ernoon. This has been the subject of
much discussion since its introduc
tion, and Senator Quigley drew at
tention to it a few weeks ago by his
declaration that should the bill pass,
Iowa would become the equal of
Russia in the tyranny possible on the
part of the governor.
The removal bill is the third of the
group of measures Introduced by Sen
ator Cosson to bring about the enforce
ment of the laws relating to the sale
of-liquor and those prohibiting houses
of ill repute and gambling houses. In
many counties the disregard of these
laws Is admitted by local authorities,
and these bills define the duties of the
sheriff and county attorney, then give
the district court the power to remove
officials of county or city who neglect
those duties. The bill favored by the
committee by its vote yesterday out
lines the method to be followed in
bringing about removal of officers.
When the governor shall learn of
conditions meriting an investigation
he shall order the attorney general to
direct that action be commenced. The
attorney general has no option but to
follow the instruction, but these meas
ures need be taken only when the
county attorney does not file charges
of his own volition. The bill provides
further that the case shall be tried
without a Jury and shall take pre
cedence over other cases on the dis
trict court docket.
Appeal may be taken to the supreme
court, where the bill provides for
trial without delay. The officer
charged with neglect of duty shall
stand suspended pending the decision
on the appeal, and may, in the judg
ment of the district judge, be suspend
ed when the charges are filed.
The state sheriff bill, which was In
troduced by Senator Cosson after
having been framed in the office of
Attorney General Byers, was badly
treated in the judiciary committee yes
terday afternoon. Had a vote been
taken, it is probable that it. would
have been voted out for postponement,
but finally, after a long discussion of
Its points, the committee decided to
withhold action until Attorney General
Byers can be heard upon it. In ad
dition to providing for a state sheriff
who shall have power to enforce the
laws in any part of the state, the bill
defines the duties of the attorney gen
eral and makes other provisions for
the better enforcement of the state
laws when they ure.. disregarded by
local officials.

LEGISLATURE TO
QUIT FOR WEEK
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED PROVID
ING FOr. ADJOURNMENT UN­
TIL NEXT WEDNESDAY.
BILL
AMENDED
State Normal Institution Will be
Known as College Hereafter De
murrage Bill Goes Through
the Senate.
Des Moines, Feb. 24.—Governor Car
roll appointed W. H. Berry of Indian
ola to succeed himself on the state
parole board and today sent the ap
pointment to the senate where it was
confirmed. The senate this morning
reconsidered the vote on the change
of name of the State Normal school
and then amended the bill so that
the name will be the Iowa State Nor
mal college, and in this form the bill
was passed.
The senate also passed the Allen bill
which is virtually a demurrage bill In
that It amends the law as to railroads
furnishing cars, leaving no options or
excuces on the part of the railroad
company for failure to furnish cars.
In this form the bill was passed
unanimously. The house amended the
joint resolutions for adjournment so
that both houses will adjourn tomor
row until the following Wednesday.
Optomatry and Hog Tight Fences.
Both houses agreed to the adjourn
ment tomorrow until the Wednesday
following. The senate spent most of
the day on the optomatry bill. The
doctors sought to have the bill sent
back to their committee but the sen
ate refused by a vote of 13 to 24, after
which the bill was made a special or
der for tomorrow. The liousfe took the
entire morning on a bill to define a
hog tight fence, and finally passed the
bill with an amendment which makes
It apply only to portions of fences.
Representatives from Lee county In
the legislature are becoming embar
rassed by the desperate efforts being
made to force the legislature to get
into the game of making war on tho
state board of control. One of the
Lee county statesmen. has received a
letter from the Dr. Neal who seems
to be alone in the war thus far, in
which the said Neal plainly informed
the statesman that unless he gets the
legislature to mix in the game he will
not have a dozen votes to his name
in the county should he ever come up
for re-election. The threat was made
to the Republican member from Lee
county who turned the matter over to
the Democratic representative and
Democratic senator.
It appears that Dr. Neal wanted to
break into the legislature but his can
didacy did not meet with favor and
so he got out of the Republican party
and tried a new tack on it. This, also,
failed, and when he failed to be nam
ed as prison doctor the climax wus
reached. Thus far not a single mem
ber of the legislature has been dis
turbed hy the matter The Neal tracts
have been distributed, but most of the
members have read no further htan
the headlines, which they say of them
selves show that the pamphlet is the
work of some one hardly responsible.
Dr. Emmert, one of the members bf
the parole board, also a life long friend
of ex-Warden Jones, after a visit
the prison, states unhesitatingly th
at least the most of the charges made
by Neal are untrue and a gross in
justice to the present management.
"A great deal of talk has been had
about the "policy of having music at
the time of the meals of the convicts,"
said Dr. Emmert. "Now I do not know
that any great good can come from
the use of an orchestra in the dining
room, but I cannot see how any harm
can come from it. There has been
criticism of the policy of haying
schools. But the school has lb'ig
been maintained there. There has
been criticism because some of the
cells have been left unlocked. Well,
one night about 2 o'clock fire broke
out in the shops and the fire brigade,
including some, lifers, rushed to the
rescue and succeeded In putting out
the fire. If their cells had been lock
ed It would have been hard to reach
the fire in time. While it Is probable
that some things the new warden does
are not as we would do them, yet it is
certain that very much of the fight
upon him is without any foundation
whatever."
It is learned that when Neal first
commenced to fill the newspapers of
the state with his harangues the board
of control wrote him asking him to
file charges if he had any to make
and they would be investigated. He
did not even reply to thi invitation.
There can now be ho doubt of the
earnestness and activity of those who
are demanding that the liquor ques
tion shall be placed in the state consti
tution. Mrs. Edworthy, personally in
charge of the work at the legislature,
turned over to the members yester
day a trunk iull of petitions, whioh
completed about -15,000 names. The
work of gathering names is still go
ing on. There will not be a district
in the state without show of support
for the measure. The amendment
•proposal was started in the senate
and the fight will first come there.
—o—
The bill to regulate optometry is
reported to the senate by the judiciary
committee provides for examination
and licensing of persons to examine
eyes and fit glasses In scientific man
ner by a board consisting of five per
sons, three being opticians and two
members of the state board of health
one being the secretary of the board.
Persons who are residents of Iova
and have practiced optometry for
three years shall be granted certifi
cates without examination. The ex
amination required for others is rigid,
OTTTJMWA COTOtEB
but relates to the profession. The
section does not apply to dealers or
merchants who do not profess to fit
glasses. The optometrists shall not
advertise themselves as doctors. A
fee is required for examination^ and
Issuing licenses and those fees go 10
pay the expenses of the board, while
all unused funds go into the state
treasury. In former sessions the doc
tors have fought this measure, but
now it is placed largely within the
control of the state board of health
and this may change the situation.

•—o—
A great-many petitions are coming
to members on a matter
which is not a live issue.
These petitions relate to a bill
to require' the fraternal insurance as
sociations to adopt the Fraternal Con
gress rates. This matter was thrash
ed out two years ago and it was de
cided that while new companies must
establish these rates it cannot be done
with the old associations. There Is no
bill of the kind, pending in the senate
and the one which was in the house
is dead.
The Peterson llr.billty bill whlih
the senate passed on Tuesday wi*h
only eight votes in opposition relates
alone td persons engaged in operation
of trains and it covers three point*
that the doctrine of contributory neg
ligence shall not be pleaded as a bar
to recovery, that in cases where the
railroad company is violating a law
contributory negligence shall not oe
considered at all, and that the doc
trine of assumption of risk of the haz
ard of the' employment shall not be
considered at all. The effort was
made by the railroad companies to
get out of the bill the latter part of
the same or to change it so that it
would be without force.

Obituary
Carrie C. Dimmitt.
Scarcely do we begin to rejoice in
the sunshine when -a shadow, coipes
driving along enveloping our pathway
In gloom. And when It is gone some
one whom we loved has passed from
our midst. And then the sunshine is
dim to us because the vale of tears Is
hanging in our hearts, and we go along
for a while with heavy feet and
stumble quite a bit, until we begin to
see the silver lining to the cloud.
When the shadow falls across the
doorway it always comes unbidden,
and with a shock of surprise. We are
not expecting it. That is the way it
was when the community heard of the
death of Miss Carrie C. Dimmitt. And
the chill glpo.m settled down upon all
our hearts as we walked down into the
"valley of the shadow" and stood' by
the river over which she had gone to
her eternal home. The heartfelt sym
pathy of the entire community is ex
tended to the stricken family in their
hour of bereavement. And greater than
the sympathy of. friends is the sym
pathy of the master as he bends over
the sorrowing hearts, a face marred
by thorns and furrowed by tears.
Carrie C. Dimmitt was born Nov
ember 23, 1886. She was converted
when sixteen years of age and joined
the Methodist Episcopal church. She
was faithful to lifer master until her
death. She was also a member of the
Epworth League. By her pure life
and beautiful character she made a
place for herself in the hearts of her
friends that will be long vacant. And
in her home. How can one tell with
human words of the vacant place left
in the homo? She is gone now. God
took her to himself last Friday morn
ing. She was here only a little while.
A short space over twenty-two years
But it was long enough to bind the
hearts of her family to herself with
golden cords that death cannot break.
The funeral service was held at her
homo Monday morning at ten o'clock.
The society of which she was a mem
ber, manifested their love in a touch
ing beautiful memory. She was buried
in the Ottumwa cemetery, there to
await the glad bright morning of the
resurrection.—Contributed.
The hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln
Dimmitt and family respond with
gratitude to the sympathy and kind
ness of their friends during their hour
of borrow and bereavement.
