SENATOR HAZLET0N HAS A PLAN
Illll lie Will Present to LPKlslnturc
Deltnrs Wotprn Ilounilnry of
Slnte nutl Glvrs town Juris
diction Over Mnnnnn.
Stato Senator Hazelton was In consulta
tion yesterday with Mayor Jennings and
other city officials regarding tho bill which
ho will Introduco during tho present session
of tho legislature to define tho western
boundary of tho stato with tho varying
channels of the Missouri river, with a view
to placing Cut-Off or West Council Illuffn
In Nebraska and to glvo Iowa complete
Jurisdiction over Mnnawa and No Man's
Land on tho south nido of tho lake.
There aro several hundred acres of land
on tho Iowa sldo ot tho Missouri In Hock
ford and Crescent townships which origi
nally formed part ot Nebraska nnd aro still
under tho Jurisdiction of that state, and
tho purposo ot this hill Is to have them
transferred to this state.
Tho bill to bo Introduced by Mr. Hazel
ton Is In lino with tho recommendation of
Governor Shaw In his address, In which he
HUggcstod that tho legislature authorize
tho appointment of a commission to deter
mlno theso boundaries.
Tho Nebraska state leglslnturo at Its last
session authorized tho appointment of a
commlrslon to meet with a similar commis
sion from this state to determine this ques
tion of boundaries. Tho Nebraska commis
sion Is not to bo appointed until tho Iowa
ono Is named.
Cut-Off,. or West Council Dluffs, as It Is
officially known, was disconnected from this
stato in 1SS1 by tho vagaries of tho Mis
eoutl river. Tho resldonts of that portion
do not pay municipal taxes, as in fact they
derive little If any benefits from tho city
government of Council Muffs. They pay
the rogular county taxes and enjoy tho ben
efit ot being within the school district of
Council Muffs. A year ago tho Hoard of
Education built a now schoolhouse In Cut
Off and considerable money was expended
by tho city In building sidewalks In order
to enable tho pupils to reach tho school.
Tho Jurisdiction over Lake Manawa has
always been a disputed question and It Is
hoped tho bill to bo Introduced by Mr. Haz
elton will determine this. It is also hoped
tho bill will determine the question of the
Jurisdiction over what is known as accreted
lands in tho townships bordering on the
river.
Senator Hazelton Is desirous of securing
an expression from tho city council, and It
is expected the matter will bo brought up
at tho meeting ot that body Monday night.
Mayor Jennings, speaking yesterday of tho
matter, said he bolleved It would be a de
cided benefit to this city to have Cut-Off
placed in Nebraska, as it had been more or
less of an expense, while no revenue had
been derived by tho city from It.
Mr. J. F. Wilcox has placed the heating
and plumbing work in bis elegant new resi
dence now under construction In the hands
of J. C. Mxby & Son of this city. Mr.
Wilcox has made tho sanitation nnd heat
ing a prominent featuro In planning his
now home, nnd tho finished system as in
stalled by Messrs. Mxby & Son will bo
easily (be finest In the city.
TO RELIEVE C0URTC0NGESTI0N
Pottannttnmle Attorney Investigate
1'lnns for Secnrlnnr a
Fifth JuilKe.
The proposition to nsk tho stato legisla
ture to provldo a fifth Judge for tho Fif
teenth Judicial district was discussed at a
called meeting of, the Pottawattamie County
Har association yesterday morning. It wns
unanimously conceded that somo relief was
necessary for the congested condition of
tho courts in tho district, but tho members
of tho association had different views as to
tho best remedy.
Somo of tho attorneys suggested that a
law mlRht be cnucted which would cnlargo
the Jurisdiction of tho suporlor court, so
mat tno judge of that court might when
necessary preside over tho district court.
to assist the Judges. Others suggested that
tho district might be divided, so as to glvo
Pottawattamlo county two Judges, ono for
tho Avoca court and one for the court In
Council Muffs.
All tho phases of tho question wore
thoroughly dlscursed, Judge Thornell tak
ing part in tho discussion, and it wns finally
resolved that Inquiry should bo mnde into
tho prevailing conditions and tho best
method for romedylng thorn, and with this
end In view Judges K. E, Aylesworth. J. J.
Stewart, J. J. Shea. Fremont Benjamin aud
C. M. Harl wero appointed a committee to
make such Investigation. Tho committee
was requested lo have Its report ready to
submit at a meeting of tho association Sat
urday. During tho discussion statistics were
given which threw light on the actual con
ditions now prevailing In the Fifteenth Ju
dicial district. Tho population of Iowa,
accotdlng to the census of 1900, Is 2,231,853.
Tho stato Is divided Into twenty Judicial
districts, tho population of tho Fifteenth
being about 220,000, or one-tenth of tho
entire population of the state. In tho Fif
teenth district there are four Judges, or
one Judge to about 55,000 peoplo, whllo In
the Ninth district, consisting of Polk
county, with a population of 83,000, thero
aro four Judges, or one Judge to less than
21,000 people.
As n result of tho congested condition in
tho Fifteenth district, tho business of tho
courts Is badly behind In Pottawattamie,
Montgomery, Audubon and Shelby counties.
Aak MUi llooaevelt to Use Water.
Tho local branch of tho Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union will petition the

catn the ndopilou of the GIUett-Lodge bill,
prohibiting the sale ot Intoxicating liquors
In the. Philippines. A letter also will be
sent to Miss Hoosovolt, daughter of tho
president, asking her to use water Instead

of Emperor William of Germany. The
union, through Its secretary, has written
Mrs. Leslie M. Shaw, thanking her for her
recent reported statement that she will
not have wine served 'at the dinners which
the Sbaws may glvo In Washington.

suggestion that they wore married under
assumed names. On tho other band, Mrs.
Whceldon nsscrts that tho uso of assumed
names was at her husband's request, as he
woh anxious to keep the marriage a sccrot

Mrs. Whceldon, In her letter rocclved
yesterday, charges her husband's sister

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Jnn. 18. (Special.) In ac
cordance with tho recommendation of Gov
ernor Cummins In his Inaugural address,
tho Stato Executive council today decided
upon additional questions to bo submitted
to the railroad companies doing business In
Iowa for tho purpose ot securing Informa
tion for assessment purposes which has not
beforo been required. Theso questions re
qulro tho railroad companies to report tho
gross earnings on business originating or
terminating In Iowa, gross earnings on bus
iness either terminating or originating In
Iowa but partially outsldo tho state, tho
proportion of tho business In Iowa and out
sldo ot Iowa computed on length ot haul in
the stato n'nd outsldo tho state, the amount
expended for betterments, tho average In
terest chargo per mile on tho bonded debt
of tho system, tho dividends per mllo and
whether tho average value per mllo Is as
great or greater In this stato than else
where. Tho purposo of theso additional
questions to be Included In tho blank forms
Bent out to railroad companies at this time
of tho year Is to enable tho council to bet
tor approach tho question of assessments.
For tho first tlmo In years tho council has
a majority of members who aro practically
pledged to radical reform In tho matter of
making railroad assessments. It has been
charged freely and openly In the past that
tho council has been dominated by rnllrond
Influence and was not In a position to be
fair on theso matters. The council as at
present constituted Is not subject to this
criticism and it Is expected that In the
making ot assessments this year somo new
features will bo Introduced. Tho ndoptlon
of the questions referred to above I In
lino with tho pronounced policy of tho new
governor nnd a majority of members of the
council.

of tho now 1100,000 building ot the Stato
university Governor Cummins will preside

orator. Addresses will also be delivered
by several membors ot the legislature who
lto graduates ot tho university. Tho en
tlro party will be tho guests of tho people
of Iowa City during tho day and a dinner
will bo served all visitors free. President
MacLcan nnd members of tho board aro
making necessary arrangements tor ths
Journey and tho program. Tho university
desires an appropriation for a pcrmanont
building to take tho placo of the one de
stroyed by flro last year, but aside from
this tho appropriations asked for are mod

Senator Harper of Ottumwa and Repre
sentative Bailey ot Mount Ayr are quoted
as strongly In favor of tho passago by tho
lcglslaturo of a measure looking to a change
In tho constitution, providing for biennial
stato elections Instead of annual elections.
Tho mcasuro will bo similar in character
to tho ono which wns adopted by tho pooplo
a year ago and was declared void becauso
of gross negligence on the part ot tho legis
lative officers in following out the pro
visions of tho lnw relating to recording
tho bill. Thero was much regret over tho
failure of the mcasuro to become a law,
and there Is n good prospect that such n
mcasuro will pass thlB legislature and then
go to tho peoplo again for approval,
