o'clock yesterday morning.
Tho train was running at a speed of

SNYDER 19 ACTIa FOR THH CITY.
Speaks of Ills Connection with IJakt
InsT Company Case.
Regarding his connection with the suit
brought by ft. E. O'Hanley to annul the
charter of the Cltlxon's Gas and Elactrlo
company City Solicitor Snyder stated yes
terday he appeared as one of the attorneys
for the plaintiff in a quasi-official capacity.
He said;
"Homo time ago when the Insufficient
asrvlce furnished by the gas company was
complained of the matter was referred to
mo by the city council, with Instructions to
examine the rompuny'a charter and con
tract with tho city for the purposo of as
certaining what steps could be taken to ln
snro to the city what It should by right re
ceive under the contract Like others, I
have been of the opinion that the city was
not receiving he quality or quantity of
light called for In the contract. Tho per
sona back of the suit have been looking up
the matter for some time and when asked
to Join In the case I decided to do so on be
half of the city.
"The company waa given a valuable fran
chlae and It certainly should give In return
what la called for by Ita provisions. This
suit Is no holdup game and If It resulta In
the city and the people securing better
service, to which they are entitled, I shall
be satisfied."
As to the alleged technical defecta In the
charter, Mr. Snyder gave It as his opinion
that the city council should have passed
the franchise ordinance after It had been
voted on by the people at t?r special elec
tion. He believed that the law contem
plated this.
General Manager Holdrege takes excep
tion to the allegations made In tho petition
regarding the quality of the gas furnished
by the company In Council Bluffs. He con
tends that the gaa la If anything of a bet
ter quality than that furnished acrcra the
river. The trouble that the company haa
hnd to contend with, he says. Is the insuf
ficiency size of the mains and the holders.
This they are rectifying as fast as poslble
and lest summer the company, he aays, ex
pended m.000 In replacing the mains with
ones of Increased slxe, and that duiinr thla

DE8 MOINES, March 6 (Special.) The
republican county convention today started
the boom for J. W. Dlythe of Iturllngton
as delegate-at-large to the national con
vention. The convention was a rcpreaenta
tlve republican gathering and the delega
tions were filled. The convention waa In
the hands of the friends of Captain Hull
and of those who are opposed to Governor
Cummlna in this county. Reaolutlcna wero
adopted In favor of the delegatea to the
state convention casting their ballots first
last and all the time for the following as
candidates for delcgatea-at-farge to the na
tional convention: Governor A. B. Cum
mins of Des Moines. J. W. Wythe of Bur
lington, Senator William B. Allison of Du
buque and Senator J. P. Dolliver of Fort
Dodge.
The resolutions adopted also endorsed
heurtlly the administration of President
Roosevelt and with equal heartiness the
administration of Governor Cummlna, and
express confidence In the principle of pro
tection without any mention of reciprocity.
An effort was made to aecure some men
tion of the Iowa platform, either in com
mendation or condemnation, but the com
mittee could not agree. The convention
unseated a number of the Prouty delegates
who were elected In the city and aeatcd
Hull delegatea on the ground of fraud. The
convention also selected a county ticket!
and was In every way a quiet and orderly
convention.
The delegates selected to the state con
vention In April are all Blythe men and
the strongest opponents of Governor Cum
mins. James G. Berryhlll heads the dele
gation and he haa been most bitter against
Cummins for some time.
State Officials Reappointed.
Governor Cummins this morning sent to
the senate the appointment of John Cownle
of North English, Iowa county, to be a
member of the Board of Control, and T. G.
McCurdy of Hasleton, Buchanan county,
to be custodian of the capltol. Mr. Cow
nle's term Is for six years and he is Just
completing a six-year term. He Is now
chairman of the board and has been a
member from the organisation of that body.
Mr. McCurdy was a member of the house
four years ago and la Just completing a
two-year term as cuatodlan of tho capltol
and public grounds. There was no oppo
sition before the governor to either one
of the men and no criticism has been heard
of here of the publlo acts of either one.
There were no opposing candidates. The
senate Immediately went Into executive
session to consider the appointments. The
appointment of the members of ths board
waa required by the code to be referred to
a committee so that action will be on a
report, so this was done. The appointment
of a custodian waa Immediately confirmed.
No opposlUon appeared to either one.
Report en Deaf School.
The state senate today received from the
Btate Board of Control tha report which
was called for a few days ago by resolu
tion In relation to certain matters as to
the records of floods and the value of build
ings and the necessity for coal sidings,
etc., at the deaf school at Council Bluffs.
The report from the State Board Is com
prehensive and stated merely the facts a
they are of record in the state house In
relation to the matters Inquired of. The
list rff the present buildings was given,
showing the date of construction, so far
as known, and cost of construction and
present value. The list Includes nineteen
separate structures, which are listed,, and
the present value of the buildings Is fixed
at a total of $62,000. The board haa no
knowledge of the original cost of any save
those that hava been erected by the board.
The board called attention to the fact that
the first report showed tho number In
attendance, and some other matters In
quired of have already been fully answered
In reports from the board to the legisla
ture. The reports of county superintend
ents arc given, showing only sixty-nine
who are both deaf and dumb not attending
the school, and attention Is called to the
fact that tho superintendent of the school
reports these statements as wholly unre
liable from tho manner of their collection.
There la really no Information as to tha
actual number of school ago In the state
not attending;. The figures are given by
counties. As to the coal sidings tho re
port states that efforts to secure a siding
hava failed, that the board tried to make a
deal with the Milwaukee and failed, and
previous efforts with the Wabash failed.
Tha paat three years the contracts for coal
have called for delivery on ths Rock Island
and the cars are set out on a siding about
a half mils from the Institution. Previ
ously the coal had been hauled In wagons
from Council Bluffs. As to the floods, the

Convention of Iowa Coal Miners.
The state convention of the United Mine
Workers today fixed upon Oskaloosa as
dlslict headquarters the next year. An
effort was made to change headquarters
to Albla, where they were before removal
to Oskaloosa a year ago. The Albla people
sent a delegation offering to pay Interest
on the miners' funds, but the officers op
posed any change. During the day a tele
gram was received from the officials of tho
national organization at Indianapolis and
Immediately afterward the convention went
Into executive session to consider the same.
It was learned that the message related to
the attitude which would be assumed by
tha Iowa and Missouri miners In case a
general strike was ordered In the bitu
minous coal regions, but the sentiment
among the delegates is decidedly against
any enoourag-emont of a strike. The Iowa
miners believe they can secure from the
Iowa operators next week a satisfactory
agreement as to wages.
Ct'MMIMS STATES HIS POSITION.
Governor Lrares No Room to Donbt
Where Ho Steads.
(FTom a Staff Correapondent.)
DES MOINES. March 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Governor Cummins this evening
made the following statement aa to his
position: "In view of the action of the
Polk county republican convention, I ven
ture to make the republicans of Iowa the
frtllnwinv statement: I took no part tn the
congressional contest and used no Influence
upon my friends or appointees for either
pjindldate. Personally. I waa for Mr.
Prouty and made no effort to conceal my
preference, but a great number or my 01a
Ht and best friends, and practically one-
half of my appointees were for Mr. Hull.
Both sides promised me that I would be
permitted to name the delegates to the
convention which would select delegates to
the national convention snd with this
promise I rested content. I appreciate the
kind things which the convention said about
bis and my administration and I highly
value the friendly spirit manifested la
mentioning me as a delegate-at-large. but
I cannot accept. What waa done waa dems
as a fulfillment of tha promise upon which
I held aloof from the campaign. .This fact
makes it necessary for me to clearly define
my position.
"I favor unqualifiedly ths selection of
Sor-atnrs Alllron and Dolliver and Hon. A.
B. Funk as three of the dUtgates-at-large
to the national convention. The two sena
tors will have no opposition end I Intend
to use all the Influence I cava for Mr.
Funk. If It shall happen that I am se
lected as ens of the four It must be under
stood that I will do everything In my power
to Incorporate In the next national plst
form the plank of our last stats plstform
respecting the isriff snd reciprocity. I
helped to make it and I intend to a Land by
It. There waa nothing In tha campaign In
Polk county that called for any expres
sion on the subject snd I cannot take what
was said today aa a substitute for a reso
lution deliberately framed and adopted
without dissent by an enthusiastic state
convention.
"My dtalre In going to the national con
vention as a delegate Is twofold: First,
that I may have the honor of voting for
Theodore Roosevelt, and second, to put Into
the national platform what we said last
year on tha tariff and reoipxocitr
