THE SIFTING COMMITTEE
IS NAMED TODAY.
(Continued From Page 1.)
the amendments, which are said to
have been proposed by State Superin
tendent Riggs, include many of the
provisions of the Adams bill.
Although Superintendent Riggs
fought the Adams bill before the sen
ate committee on schools, he is sal.l
to be in favor of the Inman bill as
amended, 'and Senator Adams said
yesterday he would prefer the Inman
bill rather than take the time for a
contest on his own bill at this late
stage in the session.
100 Bills Bunched.
Upon the action of seven members
of the Iowa house of representatives,
to be named today by Speaker Feely,
will depend the fate of more than 100
bills, many of which have passed the
senate and all of which must be dis
posed of before adjournment on Fri
day night.
For the first time in several years
the dreaded sifting committee is to be
come a reality in the lower house. It
will be the survival of the fittest with
no appeal from the action of the com
mittee which necessity has created
and which for the few days remaining
will give to seven men as autocratic
power as that against which the in
surgents in the national house have
rebelled.
Speaker Feely said last night that
practically all of 'the bills now on the
calendar will be given a hearing in the
house.
"The work of the sifting committee
will be to systematize the work during
the closing days and there will be no
ruthless slaughtering of bills," said
Mr. Feely. "By getting the most im
portant bills out of the way first, in
cluding appropriations which must be
considered, the work of the commit
tee will enable the house to take up
the more unimportant measures and
give'them a fairer hearing than if they
were called up haphazard."
Speaker Feely believes that the
house will be able to consider prac
tically every bill that has passed the
senate or has been recommended for
passage by committees of the house.
If a sifting committee, were not ap
pointed bills would be called up at
random and measures of less Import
ance would suffer because the house
awould
be nervous about reaching and
disposing of those which must be con
sidered.
The committee of seven will be
named today but will not be put to
work until Tuesday. After they begin
work the house will dispense with its
calendar and bills will be considered
only as they are announced by the
chairman of the sifting committee.
Representative White, who introduced
the resoluloin calling for the oppoint
ment of the committee, probably will
be named as chairman. Last night Mr.
Feely had practically decided upon

EASTER
The uncommonness of out- beautiful spring'assortments speak most em
phatically of the progressiveness and ability of this store. Outclassing all our
former efforts, outdoing all previous attempts to conceive an intelligent idea
ot the importance of our stocks and to realize the economy offered in our
honest prices and fair methods in transacting our business affairs can be
readily seen. It only requires a visit to our store where you will see dis
played the most convincing values in everything pertaining to ladies'
wear excepting only shoes and hats.
To enumerate the many beautiful and''different" lines that we
offer for youf inspection would possibly be an endless task, and, as
we especially desire to direct your attention to our Suits. Jackets,
Skirts, Waists, Silks, Trimmings, Dress Goods, we will refrain, for
the present at least, of talking of the many good values we are
offering in household dry goods.
It is our desire to maintain and increase if possible the confi
dence this store has already established in the hearts and homes
of every family in this community, and we have every hon
est reason in believing we are in a position to do it.
Convincing Values at Every Price.
New Suits $12.50 to $75,00.
New Waists 98c to $16.50
New Skirts $5.00 to $35.00

the others, but was not ready to an
nounce the personnel. Members are
not eager for places on the committee.
The work will be done in secret and if
any bills are lost in the shuffle the
committee will be held responsible by
disappointed lawmakers.
Many important measures are in
cluded in those still to be voted upon
in the house. Among these are the sa
loon regulation bills of Senator Moon,
Van Law and Bennett, the Hammill
anti-gambling bill and the Clarkson
assumption of risk bill.
Peterson Bill's Effect.,
As soon as the senate has concur
red in house amendments, the Peter
son bill amending the primary law
will go to the governor and hereafter
candidates in a statewide primary
will enjoy no advantage because their
names happen to begin with A or B.
In the huose the principal provisions
of Representative Lee's bill aimed to
correct the same weakness in the
prsent law was added'to the Peterson
bill as an amendment, leaving por
tions of the original senate bill as it
is, so that in its present form the
measure embodies most of the provis
ions of both bills.
The Lee amendment provides that
the secretary of state In arranging for
the printing of the ballots shall ro
tate the names of candidates alpha
betically so that each shall come first
In a group of counties whose aggre
gate population is approximately equal
to that of t'no groups in which other
candidates' names come first.
Des Moines, April 5.—A sensational
committee report is expected in the
house on Tuesday. Recently a com
mittee consisting of Brandes, F,ulliam
and McCleery was appointed to report
whether the charges made against at
tendants at the insane asylums were
sufficiently well founded to demand
legislative investigation.
The committee has been holding se
cret hearings for several days. Yes
terday members of the board of con
trol were invited to take
part and the board demanded that
superintendents, doctors, and super
visors at the aslyums be summoned
as witnesses.
Charge Abuse of Patients.
I Some of the complainants and many
letters the committee has received
charge attendants with beating, chok
ing, and otherwise abusing patients to
reduce them to subjection. It was
claimed by the officers of the institu
tions that, whenever' any attendant
used undue force he at once was dis
missed.
During the hearing yesterday Judge
Robinson of the board of control ex
amined the witnesses on behalf of the
institutions, while Dr. Fulliam cross
examined them in regard to state
ments made by former patients who
have been before the Committee.
A statement appeared in the "Des
Moines papers this morning that the
result of the investigation held
yesterday was to exonerate the
institutions from the charge?, though
it was said that the committee prob
ably would bring in a report giving
much credence to the statements made
by complaining witnesses.
Dr. Fulliam was indignant over this
publication. He said the statement
