FIRE HARDEN FOR IIARJIOXY
City Council Dtcidea to, Get Rid of the
Street Supervisor.
HUBER'S CHARGES HAD NO EFFECT
Iriulrr MmmtIii.t -Jlnde by the Com
IiliitnlnK Clisslrmnn of MrreU mill
Alley Committee Contrnct
for l'n Inn Let.
Tho Investigation of the charges pre
ferred, agalmt Street Commissioner Harden
by Alderman Huber, chairman of the streets
and alleys committee, held last night by the
city council resulted In the dismissal of the
complaint. Before the council adjourned,
however, a resolution was adopted asking
for Warden's resignation. Tho testimony
of the witness introduced by Alderman
Huber developed nothing of material Im
portance asjigalnct the street commissioner.
Alderman Huber was the last witness for
tho prosecution and at the close of his tes
timony, on motion of HarJcn's attorney, the
chargej were dismissed. The invcstlga
tlon at that time had lasted several hours,
having "been conducted under regular court
rules, the council acting in the double ca
pacity of Judgo and Jury. City Attorney
Wadsworth appeared for Huber and former
City Attorney Ilazclton for Harden.
At the outset of the prosecution Huber
won the first round by the council sustaining
his attorney's motion to strike out the para'
graphs in Harden's answer In which njlcgiv
tlons were made ogalnst Huber, he ccn'
tending that as Huber was not on trial
these charges were Irrelevant to the matter
at ltsue.
i nomas walker or urauam avenuo was
tho first witness placed on the stand for
the prosecution. He complained of tomo al
leged defective work In front of his lot,
which ho said was dono by the street com
mlssloner desplto his protests. On cross
examination he admitted that Alderman
Huber and City Engineer Etnyro were prcs
ent Just before the work was done and that
It might have been carried out according
to their directions.
Martin Sorensen, living on Hunter avc
nue, the next witness, did some work In
front of his placa and later demanded his
polltax receipt from Harden, which he
said the latter refused to glvo him. The
witness hinted at Harden using bad lan
guage to him and on being pressed to ,
tell what Harden said to him, said "He told
mu to go 'somewhere' and I went home."
Cross-examination broSight out the fact
that the witness had done the work with
out notifying or receiving authority from
the street commissioner to do It.
Why I.nrscn Kicked.
L. ,C. Larson, 'living on Commercial
street, complained that Harden dug a
ditch that he ought not to havo dug and It
cost the witness )S of his money to rectify
matters.
He testified that when ho called the at
tention of the street commissioner to the
defective work, Jtarden told him to go to
h-1.
"What answer did you give him?"
"I told him I would go thcro when I
was ready and not when he told me to go."
Witness further testified that Harden
had subsequently offered to fix the mat
ter as soon as tho present trouble ho was
in had blown over.
Charles Walters, the Broadway harness
maker, testified as to Harden using bad
language to Martin Sorensen.
D. Evans, who worked on the street
gang for two months under Harden, was
placod on tho stand to show the street
commissioner had the men under him
scattered In different parts of tho city
and that ho failed to keep proper account
of tho time his men worked. It developed
.'that the witness had had trouble over his
time checks and that In May he received
IS short of what was coming to him;
that Harden, to rectify matters, gave him
a time check for Juno covering the short-
ago In May. Evans discounted his time
checks with a local pawnbroker, who was
unable to cash the check for the extra J6,
Harden having failed to report It to the
auditor. The pawnbroker called on Lvans
tn nav back tho J6. which he refused to
do. Then as ho testified, Harden discharged
him from the work.
Sam Snyder, the pawnbroker, who dls
discounted Evans' time checks, testified that
Harden had that day (Wednesday) paid him
tho $6 for tho tlmo check given to Evans
and of which tho auditor had no account,
Vic Keller, who has had charge of ono
nf thn street ganga under Harden, was
placed on the stand to show the street com
mlsaloner's Incompetency for the position.
His -testimony was to the effect that he had
one opinion as to how certain work ought
to be done and Harden had another. The
wltntes said Harden bad used yellow dirt
to make an embankment whero In his
opinion ho ought to have used gumbo. This
was the worst thing he could say about mo
defendant
T. L. Smith of Sixteenth avenuo testified
an to an alleged aeieciive waiorway cou
atructed under Harden's orders' and super-
vlnton.
City Engineer Etnyro testified to the ef
feet that after tho July overllow of Indian
creek ho noticed a number of teams and
men employed in removing the dirt from
Broadway were not working to tho best ad
vantage and appeared to lack a head to
properly direct them.
What Huber Had to Say.
Following the cly engineer, Alderman
Huber took the stand and 'testified to
number of instances which he claimed
tended to show tho incompetency of the
street commissioner. Referring to tho
filling of tho Intersection at Sixteenth ave
nuo and Seventh street, Huber Unfilled
that he told Harden (he work was an un
necessary expenditure" of the city's money
as tho street wsu shortly to be graded nnd
sewered. He also recited an Instance whero
the clearing of a street cost $17, when in
his opinion tho work should have been done
for about IS. Huber testified further that
unices ho drove oil over the city bo waa
unable to keep track of tho work being
dono or the number of men and teams em
ployed. It was his duty, ho said, as chair
man of tho committee on etrecta and alleys
to supervlto all work done by the street
commttfclontr and to see that the city
money was expended as economically and
Judiciously as pcealblc. In hl opinion and
Judgment, there had been a reckless ex
pendlturo of the city's money under Har
den's, management. Huber said' further
that during his trip to Nw York Harde
had taken advantage of his absence to put
on a much Increased force, contrary to his
orders, and consequently there was
largely Increased pay roll, despite the fact
that he had given orders to reduce the ex
penies
Ou cross-examination Alderman Huber
became considerably confused as to the date
on which he ordered Harden to cut down ex
penses,
At the close of Huber's testimony liar
den's attorney moved for n dismissal and on
being put to a vote was sustained.
The contract for the third batch of grad
ing was warded to B. P. Wlckhow. George
F. Hughes, an unsuccessful bidder, caused
something of a sensation by stating that his
bid had been surreptitiously opened and
that he had been offered a bribe to with
draw.
Just before the council adjourned at 12:30
Alderman Iioycr offered a resolution calling
for the resignation of Street Supervisor
Hardin In "the Interest of harmony." It
was adopted.

Contractor I). P. WIckham commenced
work on the paying of North Main street
yesterday morning. A large force of men

The next paving to bo laid will be on

WIckham said yesterday that ho is ready
to commence work the moment that the

Telephone Co in puny.
DES MOINES, Aug. S. (Special Tele
gram.) John A. Kasson Is tho latest name
mentioned In connection with the short term
senatorshlp at the disposal of Governor
Shaw. It Is asserted upon what Is reliable
authority that the governor Is really giving
the appointment of Kasson serious consid
eration. Kaseon's present position as con
fideutlal adviser to the State, department at
Washington might prevent his acceptance
of the honor v.crc It tendered him. Kasson
Is at present at a summer resort for the
benefit of hts health, and It is asserted that
the governor has been In correspondence
with him for some time, but whether it Is
In connection with tho senatorshlp Is not so
confidently stated.
The Injection of the name of Kasson Into
the list of those likely to get the appoint
ment has caused a question to arise with
regard to Kaseon's citizenship, He has for
years been residing In Washington, and it Is
barely possible that In so doing he has lost
his position as a citizen of Iowa. Others
maintain that he Is still a citizen of the
state and Is eligible for the position of sen
ator. It Is conceded that Kasson has al
ways had one ambition, and that Is to be
senator from Iowa, and whllo he occupies
a higher relation with regard to the gov
crnment of tho nation it Is stated that ho
feds that to bo senator from Iowa would be
tho rounding out of his career, which has
been the apple of his eye for many years
