HARLAN AND AVOCA PARTIES INTERESTED
Grape Cronrri' Association AUo
Has a Project for Handling
Frolt Indcr Consid
eration. In Its reaching out for new lndustrii-a the
Commercial club la hopeful of landlnc In
the near future a canning factory for Coun
cil Bluff, trverturea have been made to
the cluu by partita Interested In canning
factories m Harlan and Avoca with a
view t'J locating a similar establishment
In this city. The men Interested In the
(tiunlnx factories are to meet with the
executive committee of the Commercial
club Tuesday when It ia hoped some defi
nite airangement will be reached. The
Commercial club has received several prop
ositions from parties desiring to establish
such a factory here, but It Is believed
that made by the Harlan and Avoca peo
ple will bo the most likely to lead to
results.
When the matter of the location of a
tanning factory was before the Commercial
club about a year ago It waa suggested
that the plant "belonging to the Smith
Keflnlng company, which waa formerly a
canning factory, could be secured for the
purpose. Since then, however, experts
have given their opinion that It would be
best to construct an entirely new factory
as the machinery In the Smith plant la
antiquated. This phase of the question,
however, will como up for discussion at
tl) conference Tuesday.
The Council Bluffs Grape Growers' Ship
ping association, composed of the leading
fruit growers of this city and vicinity,
Is also considering a proposition for the
establishment of a canning factory here.
The proposition to the Orapo Growers' as
sociation comes from a firm manufactur
ing canning factory supplies. Members
of the association are said to favor or
ganizing a local company with a capitali
zation of $10,000 to establish a factory with
a capacity of 0,000 cans dally. Such a
factory would, It Is contended, be a decided
advantage to the fruit growers of this
vicinity, aa In seasons when fruit cannot
be shipped with profit It could be turned
Into the canning factory without loss. It
la understood that the question of forming
a local company is to be decided by the
association this week.

Reallrlng the need of a Young Men'a
Christian1 association in this city, the
congregation of the First Baptist church
took the Initiatory steps last evening to
wards establishing one. Last winter the
young men of the church opened In the
parlors of the church a reading room for
the young men of the city, which proved
quite successful. It Is now proposed to
extend the scope of the movement begun
last winter and the church last evening
voted to stand back of the young men in
an aggressive move towards forming a
j Toung Men's Christian association.
! If the young men of the church secure
J the support of the business men of the
j city, which they expect to do, they will
: rent a room or rooms in the business center
of the rity and will Install reading rooms,
gymnasium and baths. While the Institu
tion will be under the direct management
of the Baptist church, It will be wholly
undenominational atid open to all young
men of good character. In this way the
young men of the Baptist church, with the
congregation back of them,, hope to ulti
mately organize a Toung Men's Christian
association and put It on a firm basis.
To assist the young men In this under
taking the following members of the church
were appointed a committee: Lewis Cut
ler, James M. Llnlnger and Peter Madsen.

RACE TROUBLES AT FRASER
Shooting of Wkite Miner by Colored Mas
Cans af Bitter Feeling.
WHITES REFUSE TO WORK WITH NEGROES
Posses Scoortna; Country for 9lan Who
Did the Shootlna- and Lynching
likely to Oecnr If He la
Ca ptnred.
DES MOINES, Nov. 30. -Race war Is re
garded as Imminent at rraser, la., where
Thomas Albright, a white miner, was last
night shot and mortally wounded by James
Price, a negro. The white miners held a
meeting this afternoon and voted to refuse
to work longer with the negroes. They
secure the negroes with having aided Price
to mnke his escape, and feeling Is Intense.
There are from thirty-five to fifty negroes
In the mining camp and about 1,200 whites.
Both sides are heavily armed.
A negro, thought to be Price, was seen
near Ogden, seven or eight miles from
Fraser,- this evening. He answered the
description of the wanted man, and on see
ing that he was discovered, concealed him
self In a cornfield. A posse from Ogden
Is searching for him and another body of
miners from Ogden Is working down the
river in that direction, while still another
body la making a thorough search of all
the negro huts In Fraser.
If the man Is caught, it is believed the
miners. In thlr present frame of mind, will
do him violence.
Albright Is still alive, but the doctors say
he cannot survive.
Fljrht on the Amendment.
There Is no doubt that a determined effort
will be made by those who so bitterly fought
the biennial elections amendment in Iowa
the past two years to effect its defeat by
appealing to the court on technicalities.
Having failed to convince the voters that
It was wrong to extend the terms of ofilce
of some of the state and county officials,
they will fall back upon the fact that un
der the Iowa constitution it Is extremely
difficult to know Just how to get an amend
ment properly before the people. The lat
est discovery of those who are still fight
ing the amendment Is that from the de
scription or Introductory statement, which
was printed with the amendment, in which
Its purpose Is stated the words "of the
state of Iowa" were omitted. The de
scription simply refers to "the constitu
tion," and it Is now claimed that this
Is a fatal defect. It does not occur, how
ever. In the amendment itself but In what
might be termed the description thereof,
which Is certified out for Identification pur
poses only. The record In regard to the
amendment Is in other respects perfect and
the record shows with perfect clearness
that It is the constitution of the state of
Iowa which is being amended and not
that of some other state or the United
States. Friends of the amendment scout
the idea that there Is anything more than
an imaginary flaw discovered here but
admit that the description might have
been made clearer so that there would
have been no doubt about it. The amend
ment is in the exact form, so far as this
part la concerned, as the one which was
adopted before and this point was never
raised against the other amendment.
Howard Will Not Return.
Hon. Fletcher Howard of this city, presi
dent of the State Pharmacy board, who
is now living in Colorado for his health,
will never return to Iowa to make it his
home. ' It Is learned that while he is ap
parently recovering under the outdoor and
camp ..life treatment for tuberculosis, yet
ills recovery is slow and he has been In
formed that even should he recover It
would never do for him to return to his
work. It Is therefore considered probable
that he will resign at an early date and
Governor Cummlnj will name his successor.
Air. Howard has ceased to draw any pay
from the state on account of his office
and is to all intents and purposes out of
the office now. lie Is a democrat and the
law requires that the commission shall be
non-partisan, so that his successor will
probably be a democrat.
Will Build Tabor Line.
Promoters of the electric lnterurban line
from Tabor to Council Bluffs have been
in consultation with capitalists here and
securing information as to the cost of
building and operating lnterurban lines,
and from them It is learned that the line
Is sure to be built next year. The com
pany will ask persons along the right-of-way
to take stock and to become interested
In the road and they hava been promised
that something like 1200.000 will be raised
In this way from prospective patrons of
the road. The line will be extended south
of Hamburg and Into Missouri.
To Decorate State House.
All legal matters have been disposed of
and tho contract having been signed the
capttol commission learns that Elmer K.
Garnsey of New York will be here soon after
Thanksgiving to commence work on the
decoration of the state capitol. He will
fill the entire dome with scaffolding, and it
la expected that the decoration of the in
terior of the dome will be completed early
in the winter. The work of decoration of
the bupreme court room and Judges' rooms
will be dune next summer while the court
is not in sesion. Mr. Garnsey la now com
pleting the decoration of the Minnesota
state house.
Reported for First Time.
The State Banking department made the
discovery a few weeks ago that one of the
largest financial institutions in the state
was not complying with the law in the
matter of making reports to the state. This
is the Iowa Loan & Trust company of this
city, a trust company organized under the
old law and authorized to do banking to
trie, extent of receiving deposits. The man
ager of the State Banking- department
found in an advertisement that the com
pany solicited deposits, and aa any com
pany of tills class that receives deposits
must be treated as a bank he has secured
reports for the first time. The company
has several millions of deposits, but had
never been asked to make reports or sub
mit to examination.
Lost Package Case Submitted.
The supreme court has been given the
case of the Bank of Irwin against the
American Expres company, appealed by
the company, which was held liable for
the loss of $10,000 supposed to have been
In a package sent from the Dea Molnea
National bank to a bank In Irwin, Shelby
county. The attorneys In presenting the
argument strongly insisted that the pack
age was delivered Just as received and that
the $10,000 was never in the package at
all.
Straw Veto for President.
A "straw ballot" baa been taken here

LEGISLATORS ARE RETICENT
Few Who Coma to Lincoln Willing to Talk
on Organization.
APPROPRIATIONS APPEAR TROUBLESOME
Governor Out for Kcoiioni)-, bat In
Certain Quarters Opinion Is Held
that He la Overstepping
His Prerogative.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 20. (Special.) Lincoln
has been visited by a number of newly
elected legislators during the last week, but
apparently none of thenj was dlspost-d to
discuss the organization of the next legis
lature. Representative Fishback, from
Clay -county, spoke a good word for Rouse
for speaker, as did Representative Ferrar,
from Hall county. Others who were hero,
however, seemed not to have mude up
their minds who they want for speaker or
for president of the senate.
Most of the old members, however, ex
pressed a hope that experienced men be
chosen to officer the body, that its business
might be expedited. Postmaster Sizer has
taken an active interest in the newly
elected legislators and many came In at
his request to talk over the affairs of the
next session, and it is reported that he has
had moat of them to sign an agreement
to vote for Congressman Burkett for
Uhlted States senator. .
Notwithstanding that many of the legis
lators say there will be little to do at the
next session, If there Is no trouble over the
senatorial selection, there Is llnble to be
lots of fun. Governor Mickey has allowed
himself to be quoted as saying that he Is
out for the most rigid economy In the. mat
ter of appropriations and that he Intended
to use the power of veto on everything
that doesn't look good to him. He has
even gone further and requested the state
officers and the State Hoard of Public
Lands and Buildings to met with "him and
discuss appropriation to be made to pay
the expenses of the various offices and In
stitutions. One meeting with a number of
heads of state Institutions was held, but
was void of any definite results. The state
officers have so far failed to get together
with the governor and from the remarks
made It Is evident that some of them are
of the opinion that the governor is getting
Just a little beyond his Jurisdiction.
As to the legislature, It Is the general
talk among those who have visited Lincoln
that the session should be a short, business
affair, but none has yet been found who
actually believes that It will be of less
days than the law allows. It Is safe to
predict also that Governor Mickey's veto
on any measure passed by the legislature
will have little effect, for the reason that
the republicans have such an overwhelm
ing majority that It Is not likely the mem
bers will brook any executive Interfer
ence. Few w Building's.
So far as heard from there will bo few
requests for buildings for the state, though
some of the Institutions will ask pretty
liberal appropriations. Norfolk, It Is Bald,
wants another 50,oOO to add to Its new
asylum. The Omaha Deaf and Dumb In
stitute, it is said, wants $15,000 with which
to buy more land; the Home of the Friend
less wants $25,000 with which to build n
cottage for girls; Peru Normal school will
want a new library, which was refused It
two years ago, and there may be others.
These wants considered It looks like the
conservative members of the coming ses
sion will have their hands full to hold down
appropriations.
Legislators who are coming to Lincoln
to have their seats checked off had Just
as well stay at home, for this year the
seats will be drawn by lot. An effort will
be made, however, to see that the nine lone
fuslonists will have seats together, so that
they can make a noise and occasionally be
heard.
Pace Too Swift.
William S. Bonnard, while still professing
love for his wife and showing by his acts
that he did still love her, sued for and waa
granted a divorce yesterday. Bonnard told
the court that his wife desired to trot In a
class of society In which he was unable to
put up the entrance fee, owing to his
limited finances. As he could not pay the
fee the wife announced that she preferred
to live apart from him. When the divorce
was granted Bonnard consented that the
wife should have the children and also their
home, which both had struggled to pay
for.

MARCHAND BECOMES BITTER
"Hero of Fanhoda" Lends Himself to
Antl-Brltlsh AKltatlon
In Paris.
PARIS, Nov. 19. (Special Cablegram to
The Hee.) Colonel Marchand, whose sol
dierly honesty has on previous occasions
resisted the pressure of the anti-republican
element to Induce him to play the part
of a new Boulanger, has recently lent him
self to u revival of old prejudices against
England. This was apparently the motive
of thoso who pressed him to publish his
Fushoda. reminiscences a couple of months
since. It would also Beeni to be the main
object of the extravagant distrlb In the
Figaro by this disappointed soldier, who
evidently finds it Impossible to forgive
England.
In this article, entitled "The Hull En
igma," Colonel Marchand boldly contends
tliut England's object throughout has been
to prevent or delay the relief of Port
Arthur by the Baltic squadron. That
"marvellous conjurer," British diplomacy,
first exaggerated into a threatening Euro
pean conflagration a "trifling Incident" of
no greater Importance than the upsetting
of a cab by n tram car, and on the morrow
suddenly reduced it to tho microscopic
proportions of an inquiry by arbitrators
The gravity of tho situation lay not in the
trifling Incident itself, but In the "vehe
ment and fruntlc, but coolly calculated,
Incantations (sic) of British statesmen, ora
tors and writers. The entire Euro
pean public is taken in and for four days
sincerely bellevus that the Hull Incident
is on the point of giving birth to a moun
tain. When its eyes are opened by the
consequences it will bo too late. The
ustute dlplomucy of tho court of St. James,
to which it is ImiHjssible to refuse an
admiration proportionate to Its successes,
has secured the object it had In view;
namely, a first respite for its Japanese al
lies." , Even admitting for argument's sake the
English contention that the Hull incident
was In itself a sufficient motive for war.
Colonel Marchand asks how Is It that
British statesmen have accepted the pro
posal of an inquiry by arbitrators, with a
facility which he says Justifies the sus
picion that it win suggested by themselves.
Tho real object was, under pretext of an
Investigation, to prevent the voyage of the
Baltic squadron, or at least to delay It so
tliut it should not arrive until after the
fall of Port Arthur. Colonel Marchand
anticipates that other incidents will arist
In the course of Its voyage through the
Red sea and Indian ocean which will pre
vent the arrival of the squadron.
Colonel Marchand further argues that
the court of international arbitration lb
about to render valid a serious breach oi
neutrality to the prejudice of Russia, and
to assist in prolonging the war with all
the danger of contagion which It Involves.
He asks whether the court Is not running
the risk of committing suicide, or to dis
crediting Itself in its first Important act.
The answer will depend, he says, not upoi'
the decision In questions of detail, bui
on the manner In which the court allow
this cane to be presented to It. Will It, hi
repeats, commit suicide by consenting u
the arrest of the Baltic fleet on its way u
relieve Port Arthur now in its agony?
Colonel Marchand apparently considers K
unnecessary to read the newspapers oi
he would hardly be disposed to contend
that the recall of the four officers immedi
ately concerned In the Hull incident
teiially reduces the flglulng value of the
Bal'lo squadron or the chances of Port
Artliur being relieved.
