I PUTS SMITH IN A CORNER
Interesting Phase of the Electrlo Lighting
Case Brought Out in Oourt.
HOW SUIT HAPPENED TO BE INSTITUTED
I'oricsl Smith Testlllcs Hint Ills Iteiilty
'lux Is Sninll nml Hint He Ivni'tv
Little of the Merits of
the L'nsp,
Some Interesting testimony was brought
out at the hearing yesterday afternoon In
tho district court of tho Injunction suit
against, the city to restrain it from entering
Into an electrlo lighting contract with
Thomas Howman, mid Forrest Smith, under
a rigid examination, was forced to explain
how ho happened to Intervene In the cane
originally brought by Krvln Dryer of Chi
cago, one of the dlsnppoltitcd bidders for the
contract.
In his petition of Intervention Forrest
Smith appears aa a taxpayer whoso Inter
oats will bo Injured by tho city entering
into u coutrnet with Howman at JC'.i.fiO per
lamp when Dryer bid 169. The first ques
tion propounded to Smith by counsel fur the
city was how much taxes ho paid In his
own nntni) and on what property. Ho an
swered that ho paid taxen on one lot in
Falrmount addition, but did not remember
how much they amounted to exactly.
On being pressed for an nnswer he said
ho thought that they amounted to between
Vi and 13 per annum.
"How did you come to intervene In this
suit?" was asked him.
"I heard considerable discussion on the
streets about the pending contract, hut I
made no Investigation a to tho prices the
locaj company were getting under Its old
contract and the prices named In the bid
under which Howman had been awarded tho
contract. K. II. Odcll camo to me and nuked
mo If I would file a petition of Intervention,
as Dryer had been ruled out of court, ho
not being a resident or taxpayer of this
city and therefore could not maintain a suit
here. I was given to understand that I
would incur no liability by becoming a
party to the suit. The petition of interven
tion had bcn prepared and was handed
him by Odcll to sign. Ho did not know
whom Odcll was representing or whether
ho wn in anyway Interested in tho local
company."
"Dirt you furnish or sign the bond that
woa filed ?"
"No. Tho bond, I believe, was furnished
by others, but by whom I cannot say."
An effort was made to Induce tho witness
to stato whether he had employed Harl &
McCabo as his attorneys, hut this wns ruled
out as immaterial by tho court. The wit
ness admitted, however, that he had been
given to understand ho would be at no ex
pense In tho suit for legal services or other
wise. Ho wn asked If It was not a fact that
the local company was behind the suit In
order that it might continue to furnish light
to tho city at the old price and to this
Smith replied bo did not know. On being
pressed, however, he said ho had heard
talk to that effect upon tho streets, but
on his own knowledge did not know, neither
hnd ho made any Investigation.
During hln examination Smith admitted
that ho was not personally acquainted with
Dryer and that nt no time had he asked
Oifell, who Induced him to appear as plaintiff
In tho petition of Intervention, who he (Odell)
represented. Ho supposed that Odell rep
resented Dryer, but he had made no In
quiries to satisfy himself on that point.
Tho purport of the examination of tho wit
ness bj tho counsel for tho city was to show
that ho had no interest at stake and that,
ho merely appeared as a figurehead to keep
tho case In court In tho behalf of other In
terested parties.
Thomas Howman was placed on tho stand
and counsel for the plaintiff attompted to
forco him to tell whoro he expected to se
cyro the funds to carry tho enterprise
through with and whero he expected to pro
cure his power, but tho court sustained tho
objections to these questions.
Tho ovldenco was all submitted when
court adjourned for tho day and the argu
ments will bo heard Monday nfternoon.

Lincoln In Iriiniilc.
A young man giving his name as Almon
Lincoln and his home as Galveston, Tex.,
was the subject of Investigation at tho
police station yesterday morning. Lincoln
appeared In Council Muffs about a week ago
with an advertising scheme. He called
at the Woman's Christian Association hos
pital and offered to donate a visiting reg
ister for which he Intended to secure the
"ads" of the local merchants. The women
of the association were assured, It Is said,
that no representation would be made to
the merchants that the hospital was 'o de- '
rive any pecuniary benefit from the adver
tising secured. Lincoln, It Is alleged, lit
applying for advertising represented that
half of the process was to go to the hos
pital, but when he went to collect from
tho merchants he found that they hail been
warntid that the Institution was lu no way
Interested In the book. I
When taken to the police station he ald
there was a big mistake somewhere. He
denied having represented that the hospital
was to be benefited In any way except by ,
getting the register. The cost of the hook,
ho stated, would consume halt the proflls
received from the advertising and the other
half he expected to keep for himself for
his work. After talking the matter over
with Chief of Police Albro. Lincoln decided
to drop the scheme rather than Incur any- '
body's Ill-will, and said he was willing tn
ho nt a loss what the hook nail already cost 1
him. I

DKS MOINES, Matih 3. -(Special Tele
gram.) The first round in the convict labor
light which will be a feature of tho pros
out legislative session, opened In the sen
ate this morning, when the report of the
Judiciary committee on the Titus bill pro
viding that tho labor cf Iowa convicts shall
00 utilized In tho manufacture ot supplies
for state and county Institutions, In order
to keep It from competition with free labor,
was sulriiltted.
A tnnjnrlty report favored the passage of
01 1 aim n minority report, signed by
McAithur, Finch. Holler. Healy and Hnzel
tim. niis also tiu,. opposing the measure
for three rciiMHis. First, because It was be
lieved to he hostile to the interests of free
labor in that tho total output of manufac
tured products under the pioposed hill would
bo largely Increased over what It now Is:
second, because the bill carried with It no
appropriation to make the same effective
If enacted Into law, third. Ikx-husc If was
believed tho bill should have been referred
to the ways and mentis committee In the
first place, because Involving one source of
I
levcuue 01 me state to bo taken Into con
sideration If abolished.
All elfort was made by Healy to have the
bill referred to ways and meano instead of
going on the calendar, iitus resisted this,
charging that It was an elTort on the part
of thu opponents of the measure to delay
action, but It was llnnlly referred. The
stubborn light on this motion Is an Indica
tion of tho fight which will be made on
the bill.
