PROTEST GOES IN PERSON Mayor Oarson Heads a Delegation for Toi Moincs on Special Business , AGAINST TEMPLE'S ' STREET RAILWAY BILl MriiMtire , If 1'iiMxeil , Ilpirlvc the City of All Control mill Mont of OIK lluvcnni ! lierlveil from .Motor l.hu-N , A delegation ot Council Bluffs citizens , headed by Mayor Carsan , left for DCS Molnes last night to file a protest with the legisla ture against the patoago ot housj flic No , 436 , a bill to place the street railways cf the cltley under charge ot the State Railway commissioners. The bill In question was Introduced ! n the houea by Representative Temple. It looks harmless enough on Its face , and come if Its provisions arc considered mcrltcrlous , liut local odlclals of th'o city were not long In finding a scncgamblan In the wood pile , nnd took steps which resulted In the formu lation of the protest. Under the previsions of the bill the control of all street railways operated by other than animal power le placed In the hands ot the State Railway commlslron. There la a long-winded scc- tlm which provides the manner In which a party Cr company may recurc right to bu.id and operate nn electric railway. Other sec tions of the bill are as follows : Sec. G. Kvcry person , company or cor poration within this state engaged In the operation , management nnd maintenance ! of nn electric railway or street railway , operated by other than nn'.mal power , shill pay , us hereinafter set out , an annual li cence fee. Sec. C. Such license fee shall be' based upon the gross receipts of such person , com pany or corporation from Its railway busi ness , and shall be In lieu of all other taxes , assessments nnd licenses of nny such cor poration , and nil persona" property , fran chises and real estate owned by such com pany or corpirntlon and used for railway purposes shall bo exempt from nil special assessments and taxation for the year 189G nnd thereafter. See. 7. The amount of the said license fee to be paid In each year shall bo cal culated by the said commissioners upon the gross receipts of such person , company or corporation arising from the operation of Its railway In this state for the last preceding flscn ! year , ns follows : One per cent on the first $2oO,000 of Its gross receipts , 11A per cent on the gross receipts over JCTiOOOO nnd not exceeding J. > 00,000 , nnd 2 per cent on nil amounts over J500.000. In response to a call by Mayor Carson a meeting was held nt the city building yester day morning , which was attended by a largo number of property owners nnd representa tive citizens. M. F. Rohrer was selected ns chairman and Alderman , Grecnshlelds as sec retary. The bill presented by Representa tive Temple was read by Mr. Rohrer and then every one had a whack at It. T. J. Evans stated that If the bill became a law the street railway company would be practically exempted from taxation. The bill was similar to the one passed by the Wiscon sin legislature , which the Milwaukee people are now clamoring to have repealed. C. M. Harl stated that under the provi sions of the bill the city would receive but n small per cent of the tax now received frpm the motor company , and would be required to pay the special tax assessed for the pave ment between the street car tracks now paid by the street railway company. W. S. Balrd moved the appointment of a committee of flvo to protest against Its pas sage. This was adopted and the chair named Messrs. W. S. Balrd , C. M. Harl , H. W. Til- ton. R. N. Whlttlesey and J. B. Atkins. The Idea of securing signatures to the pro test was abandoned for want of time , as the bill comes up for consideration In the legis lature today. A committee consisting of Mayor Carson , T. , J. I vans , .M. F. Rohrer , d M. Harl and Spencer Smith was appointed to go to Des Molncs at once and use every effort to secure the defeat of the measure. The following resolutions were adopted In protest against the proposed legislation : Resolved. Thut this meeting of citizens nnd taxpayers of the city of Council UluffH do earnestly protest against the passage of house Illo No. 436 for the following reasons : It takes the control and supervision of local street railway companies from the municipalities affected thereby and vests It In a commission having no knowledge of the needs or wants of the community and no direct Interest therein. It relieves the street railways from all control now vested In the cities nnd sub stitutes no adequate safeguards In placq Unpractically destroys all opportunity for competition nnd establishes a monopoly in favor of existing lines. It practically relieves them from taxation nnd would deprive this city annually or thousands of do'.lars of taxes now received. The tax proposed Is wholly inadequate In return for the privileges granted. There is need of extending the control of government over these corporations rather than limiting nnd Impairing that con- tiol , as Is done bv the proposed bill. The provisions of the bill are wholly In favor of the corporations rather than in the interests of the people. There Is no provision whereby there can be adequate control of Interstate electric lines or taxation upon their property or UThat under existing laws these corpora tions now pay less taxes than other classes of property , and under tne proposed bill would pay but a fraction of what they now do and the city , county nnd etate would receive much less In taxes than under ex- | provision In the bill by which truthful statements of gross earnings for mirnJses of taxation can be obtained. Resolved. That we urge our representa tives In the legislature to ue a'l means In their power to defeat this bill as hostile to the interests of all the people. Mayor Carson yesterday sjnt telegrams to the mayors of all the larger cities of the state calllne their attention to the bill nnd asking their co-operation In accomplishing the defeat of the measure. \Vorlc or tlie City Connell. The city council had a very brief session last night nnd disposed of a little grift of routine business. The committee appointed to prepare rules for the governing of the council offered the old rules with fie change of the meeting hour from 7:30 : to 8 o'clock.

Thcro was n Kentucky finish to the Man- awa election contest In Justice Wnlker'c court yesterday afternoon , There was a flght , nnd the authenticated version ? ot It are more numerous than Manawa voters , nnd mcro varied than numerous. It was learned that : ' The Beck forces were the aggressors , and brutally assaulted nn Inoffensive witness on the other side of the cap ? . The Reed men acted like thorough gentlemen nil through the trouble. The Reed forces were the nggrcsrors , and brutally assaulted on Inoffensive witness on the other side of the case. The Beck men acted like thorough gentlemen all through the trouble. The Beck forces were armed with chairs. The Reed forces were armed with chairs. The first blow was struck by n Beck man. The first blow way struck by a Reed man. No ono remembers who struck the last blow. Out ot the beautifully assorted flock of ma terial nt hand nn average statement of the nffnlr Implicates nnd exonerates all con cerned In the case. The case was against 'Ed Wright and J , C. Norton , two of the Judges of election nt Mnnnwa , who were charged with refusing to receive the ballot of a legal voter. The case was commenced before Justice Ovid Vlcn , and was taken bafore Justice Walker on a change of venue , nnd was set for hearing yester day nttcrnoon. Before the legal battle opened the wit nesses and rympathlzors on the different sides of the case were Jostling each other In the court room , and sonic of the Manawa delegates had been getting n supply of min eral water on board , and were ready for any kind of fun. Ed Wright was on the witness stand , wljen the attorney for the complaining witness wanted to see the poll book. The poll book could not be seen. See ? 'Cause ono of the boys had It hid up his sleeve , nnd had to have a hunch from the proper source before he would produce. Then Charley Morse was kidding a witness named Zimmerman , and Wright thought , at least ho said he thought , that Zlmmy ought to give Morse a t'ump In do tcet. There was nn exchange of courtesies that rattled the court a little , and called for interference from an outsider. Then matters got to run ning smoothly for n few notches , and Col onel Baker , the mayor of Manawa , got a whtto chip in the game , and said something to Charley , and Charley said something back , and then Beck changed the accent on to the last syllable , and Ed Wright taw an opening that ho couldn't overlook , and Charley Morse didn't propose to stand still and let everybody else have fun. And that's the way the flght commenced. There were chairs In the air for a few minutes , and a little plain fisticuff work in dulged In , without any serious damage. Jus tice Walker called for order and caused the arrest of Morse and Ed Wright , and will have them before him this morning on a charge of contempt. During the excitement everybody forgot what the condition of the case on trial was and nn adjournment wag taken until this morning. Conttablo Jackson has been In structed to bo on duty early this morning and Insist upon all visitors nt the court cf Judge Walker leaving their sldearms ut the door. Hoard of ISilnciitloti Meeting. At the meeting of the Board ot Education lat't night Dr. Snydcr reported that he had secured the agreement of the parents of twenty-four children to send their children to the room ta be opened at the Harrison street school today.

PROHIBITION'S ' LAST STAND Iowa Liberals Will Assa.nlt.Uio Oold Water Cohorts on Tl jtoy , ' MANUFACTURES BILL "IN THE SENATE i'i t Cosae * lip nn n SpcelnP tinier mill Will Itcninln On fulll Finally IIlMl > or < l Of Iry n Vo < c.c I "X " f fa _ i it IES MOINES , March 23 > USpoclnl. ( ) The senate has set next Thurn.1rfy as the date when the manufactures bill" will come up as a special order nnd 'VenValn such until finally Uccltlcd. As under the decision of the courts , If the manufacture of Intoxi cating HIJUOM Is once legalized , the owners of breweries nnd distilleries will acquire "vested rights , " which will compel the pur- chafe of their plants before constitutional prohibition can take effect , the passage of this measure will be notice to the world that constitutional prohibition has been formally abandoned and the mulct law has como to stay. stay.This This conclusion will not bo accepted by the radical prohibition clement without n fight , and ns the forces arc nearly equally balanced , the contest promises to bo both Interesting and exciting. The logical argu ment that whatever Is used In Iowa ought to bo made hero seems to have very little potency with the average representative from the Interior districts , many of whom regard the mulct law ns only a. temporary expoJI- cnt forced upon the republicans by the threat ened ascendency of the democratic party , and cherish the hope that both constitutional and statutory prohibition will once mfiro be come the law of the state. The restricting of the permit to manufacture to the counties In which the mulct law la In operation had a tendency to remove thu scruples from a number of members , but a careful canvass revealed the fact that the mcamro had no safe majority In either house. The state central committee , through Its chairman , H. Q. McMillan , then took a hand , and the In terests of the party were specially urged as argument ! ) In favor of the bill , but these reasons were loct on the moro obdurate mem bers. Finally local Interests were appealed to , and this dual argument has apparently not been In vain. A dozen or moro enter prising towns are very anxious to secure a normal school , and propssltlona are pend ing before the legislature providing for the establishment of five of these Institutions. The friends of manufacture are In a pod- tton to defeat the normal school bills. If so disposed , nnd nro evidently using this advantage - vantage for all It Is worth. COUNTING THE CHANCES. The preliminary canvass of the senate .showed clearly that the manufactures bill would lack at least threa of a majority , but the opponents of the measure are not ns hopeful as they wore and bomo frankly con cede that the probabilities arc In favor of Its passage. The mntfer has been kept very quiet on the surface , but the friends of the bill Jiave all along allowed It to be given out that they would not push the measure In either house until assured of Its flntfj passage. There arc members of both houses who will flght It , and flght It hard. Senators Eaton , Jun- kln , Berry and Mitchell 'are1 certain to take a hand In the fray on fhei side of the oppo sition. while. . nepresenratlVts Bell , Finch , Spauldlng , Hlnman , VarV Ilbuten , need a'nd " Hay will attempt to stem ' "the tide In the house. A good deal ot 'Interest Is taken In the position that Representative Temple of Clarke will assume. ' Kcfeubmlsslon was largely defeated through trie Influence of Mr .Temple , and If so disposed he could bring a strong support 'tV , 'the manufactures bill. He has a stio'ng folloAvlng. The rumor which has1 been , floating around the capital that outside UVew'brles were keepIng - Ing a lobby here to dcfdat'lhls ' measure does not seem to have any'Touri'datlon In fact. The doubtful members" ften\u that they have been "approached" by"any one except well known prohlbltlonls'te. wh6 urged them to vote against the bill , no'r'Uo the ordinary haunts of the lobbyists reveal the presence of agents for outside breweries. A repre sentative of a large St. Louis brewing con cern was on the ground early In the ses sion , but It Is not known that he organized any lobby or established an "oil ' room. " Meanwhile the erection of mammoth brew eries In DubUQue and other river cities con tinues. Neither branch of the legislature was In session moro than an hour today and routine work only was taken up. In the house various minor amendments made to house bills In the senate were concurred In. The senate had under consideration a bill In troduced by Druet to punish the disturbers of religious and school meetings and those who steal whips , lap robes and other things from fanners' wagons. KILLED WATERMAN'S BILL. The afternoon session In the senate was mainly devoted to the consideration of a bill Introduced by Waterman , providing that If any person unlawfully break and enter any freight or express car In which any goods , merchandise or valuable things are kept for use , deposit or transportation , he shall bo Imprisoned in the penitentiary not moro than flvo years , or bo fined not ex ceeding $100 and Imprisoned In the county Jail not more than one year. Senator Healeyj denounced the bill In unmeasured terms. He said that It created a new class of crimes and could only be Intended for one purpose , to send a tramp to the penitentiary for stealing a ride on a railroad train. Ho was not prepared to go to that length In extending the crim inal statutes , and predicted that Its enact ment would largely Increase costs of crim inal prosecutions. After a hot debate , in which Cheshire , Berry , Upton and Druet took part , the bill was lost on final passage - sago by three votes. Killtor To m n n CHEROKEE , la. , March 23.
