'After the Slot Machines.
Frank O'Hara, claiming residence on
Avenue C, near Sixteenth street, has
threatened to Inaugurate a crusade and
drive out all slot machines' in Council
Bluffs Yesterday morning Mr. P'Hara
called upon County Attorney Kill pack with
a demand that the latter at once Issue a
warrant for the arrest of all saloon keepers
and others maintaining slot machines In
their places of business. Mr. Klllpack In
formed O'Hara, who was a perfect
stranger to him, that under the laws of
Iowa county attorneys were not Invested
with the power to Issue warrants and that
if he was anxious to get action on the
tot machines he had better consult some
justice of the peace or else go before the
(rand Jury, which was then in session.
O'Hara did not go before the .grand Jury,
1uV proceeded from the county attorney's
office to the court of Justice Ouren, where
he demanded warrants for all persons hav
ing slot mac'.'.:nes In their places of busi
ness.' When asked by Justice Ouren If he
bad with him the nAmes of the parties al
leged to be running slot machines . con
trary to law O'Hara was, obliged to admit
that he had not. "Never mind the names,"
lie said. "Give me the warrants and I
will see to it that the names of the of
fending persons are entered on them all
right' Justice Ouren, however. Informed
O'Hara that lie was not In the habit of
Issuing warrants In that manner and sug
gested that he had better consult Assistant
County Attorney Hess, on whose say war
rants were usually Issued by the Justices
of the peace. O'Hara left the court of
Justice Oiiren threatening dire vengeance
against the slot machines and everyone
tn general.

SALOON MEN ARE ANXIOUS
Born of Them Maks Halt to Comply with
Latter of Ma'oi Law.
COSTLY FIXTURES ARE IN RETIREMENT
Xnmber of riaees Close at lO O'clock
sad General Change Noted la
the Oondact of Llqald
Cheer Emporiums.
For the first time In several years a
number of the saloonmen closed their doors
last night promptly at 10 o'clock and took
other steps to comply with the provisions
of the mulct law. In several of the sa
loons all screens, partitions, chairs, tables
and other things not permissible were re
moved and the back and side doors
barred.
There were Indications on all sides yes
terday that there was practically a stam
pede among the saloonmen to get in out
of the rain and comply with the mulct law.
The Kiel hotel management took out all
of the handsome and costly partitions In
the saloon in the building, removed all
the chairs and tables, much to the discom
fiture bf the regular patrons, barred the
doors leading Into the hotel and likewise
the rear door. . Everything else not per
mitted In the saloon according to the mulct
law was removed.
To follow the course adopted by the Kiel
hotel will work a hardship on manyof the
more Important saloons where fixtures cost
ing thousands of dollars will have to be
torn down and removed. Some of the build
ings where saloons are located will have
to be remodeled so far as the windows are
concerned In order to comply with the mulct
law provisions,
A meeting of the saloonmen has been
called for this morning, when the situation
will be discussed. As one of the leading
saloonmen said last evening: "We want
to know where we are at and for that rea
son we thought It best to hold a meeting
and talk the matter over."
Those who profess to know say that the
saloonmen are unnecessarily alarmed and
In too great a hurry to run according to
the mulct law. They say that there Is no
fear of either side In the saloon fight forc
ing the saloons to close If they fall to run
according to the mulct law. The saloonmen
generally, however, are not anxious to take
any risks and Indications last night were
that before many days unless the fight Is
declared off that every saloon In the city
will be conducted strictly according to
the mulct law.
There are at present fifty-two saloons In
the city and It 1b prophesied that under the
mulct law at least 60 per cent of those
will have to go out of business as they
will be unable to make a living If forced
to comply strictly with the law.
Action Against Saloons.
County Attorney Klllpack, In the name
of the state of Iowa, commenced actions
In the district court yesterday to enjoin
John Skalla and Fred R. Hesley from
conducting saloons In the new town of
Bentley, In Norwalk township on the line
of the Great Western railroad. Skalla's
offense, according to the county attorney,
is his desire to do business all the time by
keeping his pluce open not only at night,
but on Sundays. The Iowa Townsite com
pany, said to be the owner of the building;
In which Skalla's suloon is located, ; la
named as party defendant. -
In Hesley's case It Is said by the county
attorney that Hesley Is trying to run a
saloon without first filing the required
bond or paying his tax.
Application for temporary Injunctions In
both cases will be made Monday by the
county attorney to the district court

NO COMPROMISE IN IOWA

(From a Staft Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Jan. 16.-(SpeciaI.)-There
will be no compromise of the political
situation In Iowa. This became plain as
soon as the Inaugural address of Governor
Cummins was delivered and last night and
today all of the porltlclans who had gath-
', ered here for the purpose of Insisting that
I the governor yield and permit the state
convention to select a compromise dele
gation, went to their respective homes.
The attempt to force a compromise on the
governor to prevent him from having any
standing In the republican ' national con
vention failed and the failure is how
acknowledged by all since the governor
came out so strongly In his address In
favor of standing firmly by the platform
which he wrote last year and which has
been three times adopted In Iowa. The
fight for control of the national delegation
Is now on and there can be no compromise.
Both sides are resourceful and alert and
the fight promises to become bitter. The
question of Indorsement of President
Roosevelt and his administration is In
volved In the matter and the fight may
therefore assume national Importance.
Another Tarn in City Politics.
The pendulum swung the other way In
municipal politics today and this evening
another meeting of the republican city
committee was held and the old order re
established under which the primary elec
tion next Monday Is to be held. For more
Than a week the Mattern managers have
had control of the committee and they
proceeded to overturn all that was done
previously by the committee In arranging
for the primary. Tonight the MacVlcar
people showed they had control and made
anotner cnange. n is sun prouiemaucat
whether there, will be one or two primaries
neId- 88 both 8ldp8 PPear determined to
control. The latest phase shows that Mao
Vicar, the ex-mayor, has a better con
trol of the situation than Mattern, the
ex-sheriff.
Kngrlneers Watch Legislation.
John J. Hughes, chairman of the legis
lative board of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, met the entire legis
lative committee here, twenty-five In num
ber, for a conference In regard to legis
lation possible during the coming session
of the legislature. The entire board called
on Governor Cummins today and were
presented to him by E. D. Brlgham, state
labor commissioner, who Is prominent In
the brotherhood. Chairman Hughes will
remain here during the winter to watch
and see that there is no hostile legisla
tion. They say they . have nothing to
ask of the legislature.
Found Her Boy in Prison.
Charles Hcrltng of Chicago was pareled
from prison by Governor Cummins and
he returned home' this, week with his
mother. He had left school In Chicago
two years ago to gq, Jowa and husk
corn. He was heard frqm, a few times and
then all trace was lost. January 7 his
mother got a letter 'from hint on prison
stationery at Fort Madison. He was serv
ing time for two years and a half for
larceny In Jasper county. She came to
Iowa and found that the boy had been
drawn into bad company and had entered
the house of a farmer and taken food and
clothing one December night. It was
shown that he was starving and in danger
of freezing at the time. He Is now 19
years old and was paroled on recommenda
tion of the judge who sentenced him und
the county attorney who prosecuted.
Too Seared for Murder.
The supreme court granted a new trial
to Plum Evans, who was convicted of as
sault to commit murder. He was at a
dance In Buxton, which broke up In a big
fight, and he was so much blamed that a
mob started after him. A constable over
took him and In the excitement of the mo
ment Evans shot the constable In the arm.
The evidence showed that Evans was ter
ribly frightened about the mob, which was
thnratcnlng to hang him, and so badly
scared he 'ould not very well have had the
Intent to murder anybody.
The following are the court decisions ren
dered today:
State against Plum", appellant. Monroe
