Judge Smith McPherson's ruling In the Lake Manawa case was received here yes terday from Keokuk, where the Judge Is now holding court. The ruling Is a com plete victory for the motor company and leaves the Board of County Supervisors free to act In the matter of the application of the motor company for the vacation of the streets and alleys In controversy, which cut through the company's resort at the lake. The supervisors are scheduled to meet today to tako action on the motor com pany's application, which, however, will be strenuously resisted by the owners of property at Manawa who are plaintiffs In the case decided against them by Judge McPherson. Judge McPherson's rulings are on the several motions which were submitted to him recently, inoee of the property own ere the plaintiffs In the suit are denied or overruled, while those of the motor company are sustained. Shorn of Its legal verbiage Judge Mc Pherson's ruling Is as follows: The plaintiffs' motion to remand the case to the superior court Is overruled. The plea In abatement filed by the plaintiffs Is overruled as being wholly un supported by the records and pleadings and plaintiffs offering no evidence to support It. The former order dismissing the case as to the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company Is vacated and set aside aa having been Inadvertently, unadvisedly and erroneously made on oral motion of the plaintiffs, to dlnmlss the case as to the Omaha & Council Bluffs Strexi Railway company Is denied. The motion of the defendant Company to dissolve the Injunction Issued by the superior court of Council Bluffs restraining the Board of Supervisors and the motor company from taking any action looking toward the vacation of the streets In con troversy is sustained, the writ of Injunc tion is dissolved and it Is ordered that said Injunction Is no longer In force. The motion to remand the case to the state court is overruled. Accompanying the ruling Is Judge Mc Pherson's opinion, which in brief Is to the effect that If the Board of Supervisors has not any Jurisdiction to vacate the streets In controversy the plaintiffs have a remedy by writ of certiorari and therefore are not entitled to an Injunction, but If on the other hand the board does have Jurisdiction tho court should not interfere with It. , At the outset of the litigation the plain tiffs, who are owners of property at Man awa, brought suit to compel the motor company to open up certain streets which it had fenced In and enclosed In Its resort at the lake. This suit was brought In the superior court. The supreme court sus tained the decision of the superior court and the motor company was forced to re move the fences. Then the motor company filed an application with the Board of County Supervisors to have these streets vacated in its favor., The property own ers secured a temporary Injunction from the superior court restraining the super visors and motor company from taking any action looking toward the vacation of these streets. The motor company then took the case Into the United States court, with the result that It has won a complete victory and the superior court Injunction Is dissolved. who was drowned in a ditch dug by the city to drain the bottoms during the heavy rains of 1IWI, Is set for today.

(Special Tele gram.) The attendance at today's business meeting of the general conference of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints was scarcely diminished, notwithstanding the fact that each outgoing train bears a number of homeward bound delegates. President Joseph Smith occupied the chair and the closing of the business progressed smoothly. A resolution was adopted pro viding for the calling together of the stand ing high council sufficiently prior to the general conference to try the cases sched uled to come before It. This was done to relieve the council of too arduous duties during the sessions of the conference. A report of the Sunday school association contained the Information that a teachers' quarterly had been ordered published, which will doubtless materialize some time during the coming year. At this session of the conference a third quorum of seventy was organized, with Hyrum O. Smith aa president. This Is in dicative of the growth of the missionary force of the church. All other business disposed of and pending the arrival of reports from the first presi dency and quorum of twelve, which shall contain the appointments for the coming year, by request President Joseph Smith made a closing address to the assembly, as haa been customary In past years. He urged upon his followers that no' words unduly emphatic which may have been spoken In the heat of debate during the present session ' should be carried out of the house or away from this conference to the detriment of any. Soon entered the secretaries of the two quorums, who have labored so assiduously upon the work of appointments and amidst grave silence these reports were read. The faces of the large assemblage of men en gaged In the work of proselyting the world over were an Interesting study as their names were read, assigning them to duty In this field or that, soma of them to cross the great waters and labor In far off lands. The popular song, "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Lord," was sung with hearty spirit and the conference ad journed with an earnest benediction by Its aged president. Elder Hyrum O. Smith of the seventy preached tonight. BALDWIN (OXTIXIES ARGUMENT Sustains School Directors. County Superintendent McManui yeater duy handed down his decision in tho appeal of Thomas Leonard from the actlop of the school directors of Haiel Dell township in the matter of the locatiun of a schoolhouse In district No. 6. His ruling sustains the action of the school directors. Evidence at the hearing. , at which both sldts weie represented by counsel, showed that Leon ard Is at present a resident of Neola town ship and not Hotel Dell tuwnshlp, and that the site of the school, although not in the geographical renter t f the district, had been in posseralon of the district for upwards of twenty-five years. The old schoolhouse was burned down In February list and the directors decided to rebuild on the old site. Leonard objected to this -on the grounds that the aits) was not sufficiently central. N. T.

Contrary to expectations, Mr. Baldwin did not complete his closing argument for the plaintiff in the Doyle-Burns suit yes terday afternoon and he expects to occupy the forenoon today before finishing. During the course of his argument yes terday Mr. Baldwin assailed the position of the defendant with an array of figures, and mercilessly excorated him for his treat ment of his former friend and companion. The proceedings had not got fairly well started in the morning before there was a lively interchange of words between My. Baldwin and Congressman Smith, the latter taking vigorous exception, as he had done the day before, to certain references to the alleged great wealth of the defendant. Judge Smith, In the course of his argu ment, did some figuring to show that, tak ing the present value of the stock received by Doyle and adding dividends thereto, if Doyle had retained the stock he would now be worth something over $1,000,000. Mr. Baldwin announced that he was something of a flgurer himself, and taking Judge Smith's statement of the value of the stock und dividends to be true, read to the Jury a carefully prepared statement, showing that on the same basis. Burns having re ceived 808,000 shares of Portland stock, should be worth now something over $.1, 2Tj0,0o0, and Doyle is demanding now only about one-sixth of this as his share. Mr. Baldwin further contended that on the 239,000 shares of stock claimed by Doyle, Burns had derived a profit from dividends and Increased value of stock amounting to 15S.1.9H0, so that Burns could puy Doyle the amount claimed by him, S5C7.OO0, and Still have the Block to show for It. Mr. Baldwin went with considerable de tail into the matter of the conversations between Burns and Doyle culminating into the alleged agreement to share everything together. He showed how Burns had fallen out, on February 2, lM'i, with all his old partners, Maxwell, Stephenson, O'Halre and O'Drlscoll, and how natural It was In that situation, partly for compunlonshlp and partly because It took two to properly develop mining claims, that Burns should take In with him the old family friend Doyie. He contended that Burns and O'Drlscoll became partners In claims, sim ply by working together, without a word spoken between them, that O'Hah-i be came Interested simply frpm a casual c u versation on the sidewalk, In which he told Burns that if he struck anything good ha would go in with him, and from subse quently sending up a few supplies, and that others became Interested In similar ways. The court room was more crowded than even on Tuesday and a large number of women were accommodated with seats In side the railing. Peacemaker Has Hard Time. GLEN WOOD, la., Aprir 19-(Speclal.)-Al Webber of Thurman, la., lost his over coat, a shotgun belonging to Postmaster Cupp of Thurman and had his leg broken while attempting to assist an under dog n a fight in South Glenwood last night. On Sunday A. C. Herring of Hamburg, la., asked permission to ride part way home With Webber when he drove down Mon day. While driving near tho old creamery In the south part of town Webber got out to separate two young fellows who were fighting. While engaged In this laudable undertaking his leg was broken. When he limped back to his wagon he found that Herring had made off with a borrowed shotgun and his overcoat. Herring turned up at Wilson's drug store at 10 o'clock and frightened the occupants by making threatening motions with the gun and warning them by saying: "I am a bank robber." Whether he really In tended holding up the store and his nerve failed htm or he was merely exhilarated and having a good time In his own way Is not known. Dr. F. E. Donald dressed Webber's ftg and a warrant was sworn out for Herring for the larceny of the gun and coat. BOWEN OUT FOR GOVERNOR Fnt Forward as aa Available Candidate by the "Stand Patters."
