- Dies from Carbolle Aeld,
Mrs. Martha C. White, widow of the late
Dr. James F. White, died at an early hour
yesterday morning at her home, 720 Seventh
avenue, from the effects of a dose of car
bolic which she took Wednesday evening.
She had been more or less despondent ever
since her husband's death ten year ago
and other troubles had at one time tem
porarily unbalanced her mind. Fear of a
return of her trouble Is believed to have
prompted her to take the poison.
Her son, Harry, who Is an engineer In
the South Omaha yards, had left the house
for a few minutes on an errand and on
returning detected the smell of the acid.
Jn answer to hta Inquiries his mother ad
mitted having taken It, saying she had
wallowed a spoonful. After administer
ing suCH remedies aa' wfere at hand vhe
called ,a physician and It was thought for
a time that her life had been saved. Dar
ing the night, however,' sbe became rapidly
worse and at 6:80 o'clock yesterday' morn
ing passed away.
'Mrs. White was 64 years of age and had
been a resident of Council Bluffs for twenty-two
years. Besides the eon, Harry, one
daughter, Grace, who also made her home
with her mother, survives her. The funeral
will be held Saturday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock from the residence and burial will
be'. In' Walnut. Hill cemetery. Rev. W. 8.
Barnes ot the First Presbyterian church
will conduct the services.

Get Through In a Harry.
The work of ths convention was done In
a businesslike manner, and two hours suf
ficed to. complete it. All speechmaklng was
dispensed with, as many ot the delegates
from the country preclncta were anxious to
gd home on the early afternoon trains.
Despite the businesslike manner In which
It was conducted, the convention was a
most enthusiastic and harmonious gather
ing. Every precinct was represented by Its
full quota of delegates, and as all of the
delegations were early on the ground,
there was no delay In getting the conven
tion started.
The rumored opposition to H. V. Battey
of Avoca for the nomination for clerk of the
district court did not materialise, and he
was nominated by acclamation, as was D.
F. Dryden of Hardin township for county
supervisor. With the exception of that for
county auditor, which required two ballots.
one ballot sufficed to settle the other nom
inations. When County Chairman G. S. ' Wright
called the convention to order at 11 o'clock
the south courtroom was packed with an
Interested and expectant crowd, the con
tests over some of the nominations having
excited, mora than the usual Interest. Mr.
Wright named II. J, Chambers of this city
aa temporary chairman. James Lowry was
named aa temporary secretary, -
- Chairman Chambers, on Assuming the
gavel, stated that he was under positive in
strut Hons not to make any speech, anil
that be would abide by the instructions, ns
he knew the convention waa anxious to get
down to business. He took occasion, how
ever, to say that he knew that the- con
vention would be harmonious and that
whatever the ticket might be. it would be
successful next fall.
Dispensing with the usual committee on
permanent organization, the temporary or
ganisation was declared permanent on mo
tion of R. V. Innes of the Third ward.
Battey by Acclamation.
Before the committees retired Colonel C
O. Saunders suggested that as there waa
twenty minutes before the time for ad
journing for dinner, and aa he understood
that there was but one candidate for the
nomination for clerk of the district court,
tha convention expedite matters by nomi
nating H. V. Battey of Avoca by acclama
tion. The suggestion met with Instant fa
vor at the hands of the convention, and
Mr. Battey was nominated. The ball hav
ing thus been aet rolling. Supervisor D. F.
Dryden waa then renominated by acclama
tion, although In the regular order of things
the nominations for members of the county
board were the last on the list.
This much disposed of, the convention
adjourned for dinner.

DISCUSS PAVING OF BROADWAY
West End
Club Finds No Solution
ot
tha Problem.
Residents of the western part of the city
who attended the meeting last night called
by the West End Improvement club to dis
cuss the question of paving Broadway were
disappointed In that Mayor Macrae find
other city officials failed to attend as prom
ised. The only representatives of the city
present were City Solicitor. Snyder and Al
dermen Clippen and McMlllen of the Sixth
and Fifth wards, respectively.
City Attorney Snyder gave It as hla opin
ion that the most feasible way to improve
Broadway was for the council to order It
paved In the usual manner; assess so much
of the cost of the Improvement against tho
abutting property as it would bear and
then pay the deficiency out of the Im
provement funds, such payments to be ex
tended over a term of years not exceeding
ten. Mr. Snyder also suggested that In his
opinion the abutting property on Broadway
between Thirteenth and Twenty-third
streets ought to be able to bear the assess
ment of the Improvement; the city council
should not delay in ordering this portion
at least pnved this year.
The meeting practically decided that to
Improve the thoroughfare by popular sub
scription waa not feasible and the consen
sus of opinion was that the city council
should take tha lead In the matter. ,
W. H. Kilmer threw a bombshell Into the
meeting by stating that In the event of the
city council taking any steps toward re
paving the street at the expense of the
abutting property owners, injunction -proceedings
would at once be Instituted In the
courts.
After several hours' discussion, at the
suggestion of former Alderman Boyer the
matter was referred to a special committee
to be appointed by President Skinner of the
West End Improvement club, this commit
tee to formulate a plan and submit it at an
early date to the city council.

LABORERS HOPE FOR PEACE
Preidnt of low a State Federation As
nenroee Tbat ai Their Policy.
DISCUSSES THE OPEN SHOP QUESTION
Congressman Hull Names Delegates
Who Are Opposed to Cummins
Man for Delegate to the
Chicaigo Convention.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 12. (Special.)-At the
annual meeting of the Iowa State Federa
tion of Labor, being held In Marahalltown,
Prealdcnt A. L. Vrlck of this city, today
presented his report on the operations of
the federation during the year. He at
tacked the Industrial alliance and declared
that he had hoped Iowa would escape A
fight on unionism because of the fact that
organized labor has a reputation for being
conservative and fair in this state, and all
progress has been made along conservative
lines. In discussing the open shop and
other phases of the subject which have
come to the front In this state President
Vrlck said:
The open shop to the nonunion man, in
the Intents and purposes of the present
Indlvidunl liberty advocate, means the
closed shop to the union man, and the final
dlHhanrtment of the unions that have ac
complished so much In the Interests of tho
w Re-earners.
The term "open shop," taken logically,
would Imply that the union Insists upon -a
shop closed to nonunion men. The facts
are the union movement welcomes nt nil
times the nonunion man to sny and all so-
called union shops. Securing employment.
however, and benefitting by the conditions
secured hv the union, he la expected to per
form all of the acts performed by the mem
bers of the union In maintaining jvnd ami
further improving tho conditions of labor.
Should his moral nature be of ao low a
standard not to perceive the Injustice of
securing benefits to which he Is not willing
to contribute an effort of maintaining or
Improving, then the union man certalntlv
has "a Just ground for complaint, and Is
justified in reruslng to work wun mm.
Trustees Meet at Ames.
Governor Cummins, State Superintendent
Rlggs and James Wilson, all members of
the Board of Trustees of the Bute college,
attended the board meeting of the State
college at Ames today. The board meeting
Is to lay plans for. continuing building op
erations during the year.
The report of the state auditor on insur
ance will show that the life Insurance com
panies received last year from Iowa people
a total of $6,409,947.60, and paid In death
losses $1,678,366.15, or about 24.6 per cent re?
turned. The total value of risks written
was about 172,000,000, and the net increase
of policies in force was 12,000,000.
Kamed His Delegation.
Captain J. A. T. Hull of this city today
named his delegation to the district conven
tion, and it was found that he had named
a delegation guaranteed to vote for the
Story county candidate for delegate again at
the Dallas county candidate, thus disposing
of one contest before the convention. The
effort to induce Hull to divide the delega
tion between the outside candidates failed,
and he accepted the situation and decided
that he would favor Dr. Hostetter because
of his pronounced antagonism to Governor
Cummins.
Lake Farms Controversy.'
' The lake farmers of Iowa find that .tho
new law relating io T sale ot "the lake beds
will not afford them nil the relief for which
they asked. Attorney General Mullan yes
terday rendered an opinion to Governor
Cummins for the executive counoll in which
he.- held that the process of getting title
to - lake beds that have already been
drained and are now in the possession of
purchasers Is substantially like that for tho
preliminary steps of securing an order for
drainage and sale, and that these luke bed
farmers must begin by securing a petition
signed by fifty freeholders and twenty res
idents ot the township and then have the
drainage declared necessary after a Rear
ing. This will make much trouble for some
of the persons who are in possession of
lake beds. They claim that under the new
law the governor was authorized to issue
a deed to them at once.
Potts Waa Warned.
In an anonymous letter L. H. Potts Is
warned to leave the state. Tho "tip," which
is signed "A Friend," advises him that the
mother ot the child, Mabel Saghorholm,
attendant to whose adoption Mr. Potts and
