NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA
COUNCIL BLUFFS
VOTERS FAVOR FRANCHISE
Almost Two to One in Favor of the Inde
pendent Telephone System.
VOTE MUCH HEAVltK THAN EXPECTED
So Organised Opposition Thonah the
Retailers Were Flahtloa the
Proposition from All Bat
One Preclnet.
The special election yeptorday resulted In
the proposition to grant a franchise to the
Council Bluffs independent Telephone com
pany carrying by an overwhelming major
ity. Excluding the Second precinct of Iba
Sixth ward (Cut-off), from which no re
turns had been received Inst night, the vote
was 1,723 for the proposition and 953 against
it, a majority of 7'B for the proposition.
In view of the opposition to the franchise
by the retail merchants and others the vote
was a surprise, although enrly in the aft
ernoon It was conceded that the proposi
tion had carried by a Bafe majority.
The promoters of the Independent com
pany were thoroughly organized In every
precinct in the city, while the opposition
was not. The election attracted more than
usual Interest and consequently there was
a much larger vote cast than last year at
the special election at which the Tabor
electric line franchise was submitted. This
election, held February 29, 1504, only brought
out a vote of 1,598. while yesterday 2,780
votes were cast. Of these ninety-one were
thrown out by the Judges In the different
precincts as being defective.
The vote by precinct follows:
First Ward Yes. No.
First precinct 173 83
Second precinct 209 107

MIGHT SESSION () Bl HXS CASE
Court Listens to Amamrnti on Motion
of Hefense.
Judge Thome!! held a night session of
court last night to hear the motion of
the defense In the Doyle-Burns sulr that
Judgment be entered for Burns as to the
stock received by him for the sale of the
Devil's Own claim to he Portland com
pany. The motion was made on the grounds
that the Jury at the former trial had In
a special finding, held that Burns alone
owned the Devil's Own and that the su
preme court had not reversed or altered
this special llndjng. On the other hand,
counsel for Doyle argued that if the ver
dict of the Jury at the previous trial was
good in one particular it was good In all
and that if the former finding as to the
Devil's Own was conclusive It was equally
so as to the Tidal Wave and Bob Tail No.
2, In both of which claims the Jury found
that Doyle had the Interest he claimed.
The motion waa argued by Congressman
Smith and Mr. Saunders for the defense
and by John N, Baldwin for the plaintiff.
Judge Thornell took the question under ad
visement. The reading of the testimony given by
Frank Q. Peck at the former trial occu
pied the entire of yesterday's session. Mr.
Peck, who Is a brother-in-law of James F.
Burns and secretary and treasurer of the
Portland company, testified at length to his
early connection with Burns and Doyle
and the affairs In general of the Portland
company. He testified that the discovery
stake of the Tidal Wave bore the name
only of James F. Burns as locator; that he
purchased a fourth interest In the Bob
Tall No. 2 from Burns, and that Doyle
had no share In the transaction; that Doyle
was present at the meeting of the direc
tors of the Portland when the Bob Tall
No. 2 was sold to the company and made
no claim to any Interest In it. The first
Intimation the witness had of Doyle claim
ing an Interest In the claims in controversy
was about the time the present suit waa
brought.
Senator T. M. Patterson arrived from
Denver yesterday but it is understood he
will not take a very active part in the case
this time. Charles J. Hughes, Jr., who ar
rived Sunday from Denver with the ex
pectation of participating in the argument
last night, was obliged to return to Denver
yesterday afternoon. ( It is said that it la
likely he will not return here during the
trial of the suit.

CHECK VOIR BABY AT CHIRCH
Creche In Basement to Allow Mothers
to Attend Services.
"I cannot attend church as I have to stay
home to mind the baby" Is an excuse
which henceforth will not stand good at
the Broadway Methodist church. Rev.
James O'May, the pastor, realising that
many women of his congregation are un
able to attend the morning services on Sun
days on account of having to mind their
babies at home, has arranged to maintain
a "creche" at the church during these
services. The creche will be Installed In
the basement parlors of the church and
will be In charge of a con of volunteer
nurses who will take care of the babies
while the mothers are attending the serv
ices. The creche will also partake of the nature
of a kindergarten to a certain extent. In
addition to the cradles, toys and articles
of Instructive amusement will bo furnished
for the little ones. It will be exclusively
for small children and only for those whose
mothers attend the morning services.
The Innovation will be inaugurated next
Sunday morning.
