PLANNING FOR GOOD ROADS
County ConT-aation Drawi a Largs and
Entuuiiaitio Gathering.
MUCH OPPOSITION TO PRESENT SYSTEM
Xothln sat Temporary Work from
Year to Tear Is Possible t'nder
It Congressman Smith
Makes Address.
The Interest which the rood roads move
ment has attracted In Pottawattamie
county was evidenced by the large and
representative attendance at the conven
tion held In this city yesterday afternoon.
D. B. Lyons of Pes Moines, secretary of
the executive committee of the Iowa Good
Roads association, who was present and
made a stirring address, stated to the con
vention that he had attended a large num
ber, of suoh meetings throughout the state
but at no county good roads convention
had he witnessed such a large and repre
sentative gathering. Such an attendance,
ho said, augured well for the success of
the movement In Pottawattamie county.
The meeting resulted In the formation of
a permanent organisation to be known as
the Pottawattamie County Good Roads as
sociation with the following officers: Pres
ident, Colonel W. F. Baker, member of the
board of county supervisors; secretary,
David E. Stuart; treasurer, August Bere
holm. These were named as vice presi
dents from their respective townships:
Perry Kerney, Silver Creek; D. F. Dryden,
Hardin: Fred Klopplng, Haael Dell; J. T.
Jones, Washington; Fred Hoist, Keg Creek;
John Currle, ' Norwalk; William Casson,
York; J. B. Matlock, Crescent; George
Darrlngton, Boomer. The president, sec
retary and treasurer were empowered to
complete the list of vice presidents.
The ' convention was held In the south
room of the county court house and when
President Ernest E. Hart of the First Na
tional bank and member of the executive
committee of the Iowa Oood Roads as
sociation called it to order nearly 100 dele
gates were present besides a number of
Interested spectators. Attorney David - E.
Stuart, president ot ths Oanymede Wheel
club, an organisation much Interested In
the movement for the betterment of the
roads, was selected as secretary.
After a few Introductory remarks by
Chairman Hart, these committees were ap
pointed: Permanent Organisation Hnrry Turner,
Washington; Mortis Hough, Crescent; Rob
ert Green, Kane.
Resolutions Judge J. R. .Reed, Council
Bluffs: J. B. Matlock, Crescent; A. O'Don
nell, Haael DelL
Resolutions Adopted.
The committee on resolutions presented
the following which were adopted: .
Resolved, That It Is the sense of this con
vention that there should be a radloal
change In the manner of applying and ex
pending the road fund. Under the present
system the fund collected In this oounty
amounts la the aggregate to a very large
sum. But under the methods heretofore
practiced very little of permanent benefit
has been derived from its expenditure. The
plan has been to expend annually practi
cally the whole fund of the township In
mere work of repairs of existing highways,
but the work of necessity has been of a
temporary nature, and whiu th. nurfi
?enerally may have been made passable
or the time being, we have received no
food roads In any true sense of the term,
n our opinion a wiser, and In the end a
muoh more economical system, would be
to expend tne bulk of the fund each year
upon individual highways. bea-Innlnr. of
Course, on thA mnm Immrtml nnAM malt
ing every Improvement of a nnrtnana'nt mrA
enduring character, and extending the work
year a year upon other roads as the
magnitude of the fund will JuatKy. always
having In view, however, tho object of
making each highway when work upon It
Is taken up a good road, before the work
Klyen up. Such A system faithfully ad
hered to for a few years would result in a
system of good roads throughout the
oounty, which could thereafter be kept In
repair by a comparatively small expendi
ture, of labor and money. While the peo
ple,' and Indeed many of them might be'
subject to inconvenience before the work
of Improvement reached their nelghbor-
nooa, we are convinced that in the result
ultimately acoomDlished thev wnnl.l
more than compensated for such temporary
iiiuu,,,riiurai. j. won or mat magnitude
and importance must necessarily be pro
gressive and Its benefits and advantages
cannot bo carried to all of the people at
the same time. The work of executing
such a system must of necessity be under
the control of some central body or head
In the oounty. Under our present system
of county government the board of super
visors would seem to be the croner nent
for that purpose and that body Is probably
now clothed with power to execute Jointly
with the proper officers of the townships
any general svstnm r. f rrwul imn.n...
which they might adopt. We commend the
j.ioiii nere suggested to the candid and
thoughtful consideration of the people and
all publlo officers who are charged with the
duty ot applying and expending the road
fund.
We favor such legislation as would In
duce or comnel the use nf ih . i ,,An
all heavily-loaded vehicles when used upon
any Improved hlrhway. The use ot the
wiue ure on suon vehicles is absolutely es
sential for the preservation ot roads con
struoted as ours must be of earth and the
Subllc benefits arising from a proper con
ltton of the highway are of vastly greater
moment than the convenience of individuals
nave occasion o use tnnm.
Thst It be the sense of this meeting that
our board of oounty supervisors shall Join
wltn other boards In the several counties
that have alreadv
'i'SL J1" ooia.tloii for the modest sum
m carrying on the stats work.
Opposes Jlatloaal Aid.
These preliminaries completed. Congress
man Walter I, Smith was Introduced and
addressed the meeting. Mr. Smith Is op
posed to the government furnishing finan
cial aid for the impr6vement of publlo
highways In the different states, and so
expressed himself. He said there appeared
to be an impression among many of the
people that the United States treasury
filled Itself. This, he said, was enUrely
erroneous, the money which went Into the
government treasury came from taxation.
Government aid, he believed, would only
result in a general fight among the different
states to get the largest share ot the ap
propriation. If the people were to be taxed
for the building of good roads they might
as well be taxed at home. Any system of
government aid. In his opinion, would
mean the robbing of one section of the
country to benefit the other. He referred
to the necessity of good roads for the ex
tension of rural free delivery system. He
advocated some system of permanent Im
provement of the publlo highways by the
local authorities to take the piac ot the
present system, which, he said, was but a
temporary expedient. He auggested that
the first step should be the establishing of
a permanent grade on every publlo
tnorouglirare In the county by a competent
engineer, the same as grades were made
by the city engineer on the streets of the
Hy. He also urged that the farmers cut
the weeds on the roads abutting their land
tate lke.14 Aid.
Becretary Lyons of the state association
In his address said he had not made up his
mind in regard to the question ot govern
ment aid towards the Improvement of pub
llo thoroughfares, but ha was of the decided
opinion that the slate should appropriate
money for the purpose. He urged that the
state legislature at Its next meeting make
launwun vyvinyiauva i or puiaing pub-
Ho highways. It was all nonsense, he sold,
that a rich state like Iowa could not af
ford to defray the greater part of the ex
pense of Improving the publ'o highways. He
said he favored the plan of the stats bear
ing half the cost, the county one-quarter,
the township It per cent and the abutting
property owner 10 per rent. He sketched
the origin and growth of the good roads
movement and urged the convention, now
that it had the matter well started, not to
let It flng or die down In Pottawattamie
county.
LIBRARY SITE PURCHASED
Board Closes Deal and Pays Money
for the W, H. M, Posey
Homestead.
The Board of Library Trustees at a spe
cial meeting yesterday morning closed the
deal for the purchase of the W. H. M.
Pusey homestead, at the corner of Willow
avenue and Pearl street, as the site for
the Carnegie library building. The com
mittee, of which J. J. Stewart was chair,
man, reported that the deed to the city
of the property had been signed by Mrs.
Pusey and the other heirs, and that noth
ing remained but to place the instrument
of record and pay the purchase price,
19,000.
A warrant for 20,000 In favor of Mrs, Pu
sey was ordered drawn, and at the close
of the meeting the deed was placed on
record by President Rohrer, and the trans
fer accordingly appears in Wednesday's
real estate transactions.
The board has practically decided to pur
chase the Plnney property adjoining, on
which it has an option, as additional
ground for the library building. How soon
this property will be acquired will depend
on whether the board can anticipate the
proceeds of tho 1 mill ordered levied for
library building purposes. This matter
has been referred to Trustee Stewart 'to
investigate, and if it is ascertained that
the board can legally anticipate the levy
the purchase will be consummated without
further delay.
At the close of the meeting yesterday
morning the following telegram, signed by
President Rohrer and Becretary Stewart,
was sent to Mr. Carnegie:
"We have this day purchased and paid
for in full a beautiful library site, fronting
Baylies park, in the center of the city."
Matters In District Court.
Mrs. Tlllle Btoedel added her suit yester
day to the already long list of divorce
cases listed for the September term Ot
district court. She asks the court to sever
the matrimonial knot that binds her to
Leonard Bloedel whom she married at Mc
Gregor, la., August 17, 1888. She charges
her husband with cruelly and Inhumanly
treating her and recites a number ot al
leged acts of violence which she endured
at his hands. She asks the court to award
her the custody of their minor child, a
daughter aged 11 years.
Richard O'Connell, a farmer living near
the old Chautauqua grounds, appears as
plaintiff In two suits against the Rook
Island Railway company. In one suit he
asks that the railway company be en
Joined from obstructing a cattle way and
be compelled to remove a culvert which
caused the water from Mosquito creek to
overflow his land. In the other suit O'Con
nel demands damages to the amount of
2000 for the obstruction of the cattle way
and loss caused by the overflow complained
of.
Nels Mordensen brought suit against
Henry Miller for 23,000 damages for the
latter's alleged failure to fulfill a con
tract for the erection of a dyke connect
ing the plaintiffs land with the public
highway. Mordensen olalms that an arm
of a lake cuts him off from the road, mak
ing a long and inconvenient detour. Mil
ler, he says, contraoted to construct a
dyke acmes ths lake, but after partially
completing it abandoned the work. .
Consider Manual Training-.
The Board of Eduoatlon held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon in the office
of President Hess to consider a proposition
from A. H. Adams relative to installing
and superintending manual training in the
schools of this city. Mr. Adams ts a grad
uate of the Iowa State university and haa
taken a post-graduate course In manual
training In the Wisconsin State university
at Madison. He offered to come here for
one month at the opening of the school
year and if his work proved to be such as
he represented it then the board was to en
sage him for the year at a salary of 275 a
month.
The meeting yesterday afternoon devel
oped the fact that the board la divided on
the question of manual training, at least
so far as Incurring any great expense in
the introduction of it into the schools at
present, and adjourned until this morning
without taking any action. .

DES MOINES. Aug. . (Special. Wudge
Howe of the district court, who haa had
charge of the divorce business of the courts
for some time, Is making efforts to curtail
the number ot divorces granted in this
County. He has Just had figures secured on
the divorce business here, and finds that
while during the year 1902 there was
granted to couples in this county a total of
1,240 marriage licenses, there was also In
the same time granted 242 divorces, or
about 28 per cent of the marriages result
In divorce. This state ot affairs la alarm
ing to Judge Hows and others and ths
belief prevails that the percentage of di
vorces to marriages is still on the increase
and that the showing for this year will be
worse than last Judge Howe Is therefore
talcing a policy of strictest adherence to
the letter of the law In all divorce mat
ters and insists that the persons shall
have actual residence in the county. He
believes ths divorce business has been too
free In this county as elsewhere In the
state, and that ths courts should make
divorces dlffloult as far as they are able
to do so.
Accusation Asalnat Relief Committee.
Members of the International Associa
tion of Machinists here have received an
appeal from the Swedish lodge of the order
in Brooklyn for funds to support a strike
or lockout In Sweden said to affect from
15,000 to 20,000 members ot the association,
which started In a small strike for higher
wages. The appeal also includes an ac
cusation, or insinuation, that Is likely to
be made the subject of an Investigations
and that Is to the effect that some of the
funds forwarded from the United States
for the benefit of the famine sufferers In
the northern Scandinavian countries are
being held by the state officials and are
being used in a manner to discourage the
worklns-tnen. The intimation Is that the
relief is not given to those who are In need,
but is used to assist persons to go and
take the place of strikers In the large
manufacturing centers. There waa a large
fund raised in Iowa and forwarded to com
mittees in Sweden and Norway for the
relief ot the sufferers. The members of
the committee have no knowledge that the
funds were diverted from their proper chan
nel. The machinists claim that the fight
against them Is largely political and be
cause they are leaders In the movement
for revision of the suffrage laws of the
country.

OFFERS VOTES FOR MONEY

JEFFERSON CITT, Mo., Aug. 19. The
trial of SUte Benator William P. Sullivan,
charged with soliciting a bribe, was begun
here today before Special Judge H. C. Tim'
mons.
The Jury was seoured without delay. It
consists of seven farmers, two carpenters,
a state house employe, a clerk and an en
gineer. The state has eight witnesses, In
cluding Senator Nick M. Bradley, present
while the defense has an equal number on
hand. Among the latter la Benator O. A.
Smith.
The indictment as read chargea that
while the bill to repeal the law prohibiting
the use of alum baking powder was pend
ing in the senate, Benator Sullivan offered
to sell the vots of three senators to Whit
ney Layton, representing alum baking
powder interests, for $4,5C0.
W. J. Chambllss, record clerk in the of
fice ot the secretary of state, was the first
witness called. The attorney general un
dertook to show by him the record of the
slum bill in the session of 1901, but Attor
ney Pope, for the defense, objected, saying
that ha failed to see the purpose of this
evidence. Judge Tlmmons sustained the ob
jection, which was considered an Important
point gained for the defense.
The purpose In Introducing the record
was to show that In 1901, when an exactly
similar bill was pending. Senator Sullivan's
attitude was the opposite to what It waa
In 1808, when the bill on which Sullivan Is
alleged to have sollolted a bribe was up In
the legislature.
Whitney Layton, representative of the
baking powder Interests, the witness on
whom the prosecution depends chiefly,
after testifying to the fact that he at
tended the legislature last winter trying to
secure the repeal of the pure food bill,
said: "I met Senator Sullivan in the
large room back of the aenate cloak rooms.
I said we needed three votes to get the
bill that we wanted passed. He said that
for the aura of $4,600 he could carry two
other votes and hta own for the repeal of
the Jaw."
"Who wete the other senators?"
"He gave me to understand that Sena
tor Smith was one of the others. He said
we would see Smith and go Into the mat
ter further."
Layton then told of Sullivan, Smith and
himself going to the Madison house, and
added: "Just then Senator Farrls came
in and Senator Smith stepped over and
Joined Senator Farrls. I talked to Senator
Smith later after Smith had talked with
Farrls."
Sullivan denied ever making any proposi
tion to Layton to aecure three votes for
24,500 and charged Layton with attempting
to bribe him with 13,000 to vote for the
alumn bllL
Senator Smith partly corroborated the tes
timony given by Sullivan and claimed Lay
ton told him that Sullivan hadx Ignored
him.
Major Emmctt Newton also said Layton
offered to purchase Sullivan through him.
Layton denied this, declaring Newton bor
rowed 220 from him on the train one day
and had never returned it.
