AUDITOR HOLDS UP WARRANT Majority of Members Present anel Not Majority of Entire Cosmcll Votes in Favor of the Meaaare. The action of the city council Monday afternoon. In effecting a settlement with the Council Bluffs City Water Works company of Its claim for hydrant rentals, will not hold water. Is tha opinion expressed by City Solicitor C. F. Kimball yesterday morning. Mr. Kimball contends that the motion to allow the bill at the T0 rt per hydrant, which carried a vote of four to one, should hava been declared lost by the chairman, owing to some members being absent, leaving buf five present, and Councilman Younkerman, vote against the settlement. The position taken by the city solicitor Is that according to the rules governing the city council "a majority of the whole number of members elected to the council". Is required to .pass or adopt any -ordinance for the payment or approp riation of money or to pass or adopt any resolution In order to enter Into a con tract. It. Is the' opinion of Mr. Kimball that a majority of the whole council, - or five councllmeu, would have been required to pass the motion to approve' the contract whereby the waterworks company agrees to lay a six-Inch main on Avenue B and an eight-Inch main on Twenty-eighth street from Broadway to Second avenue. Councilman Olson, who was . presiding in the absence of Mayor. Macrae, oh Instruc tions from councilman present signed the contract with the waterworks company. If the city solicitor's view of the matter prevails, It Is likely It will be. brought up again -at the meeting of the council to morrow afternoon. - 1 . Under the circumstances City Auditor McAneney declined yesterday to Issue to the waterworks company a warrant for the amount of Its claim. Tha action of the city council Monday was taken on recom mendation of the Judiciary committee, to which the bills for hydrant rentals had been referred. Meat Department Specials.

"The question of the selection of a site for the Young Men's Christian association building will. I believe, be settled today," said F. C. Hiker, secretary of the execu tive committee, after a meeting of that body last night In tho offloe of President F. J. Day. Mn. Rlker said that while the com mittee had nearly come to a decision. It thought best to give the matter further consideration. At a meeting In the afternoon those pres ent were requested to state theh prefer ence for a site on paper for the purpose of assisting the executive committee to ar rive at a choice, but which site under con sideration was most favored was not made public The sites considered at the afternoon meeting are: The Seybert property on First avenue adjoining the lks' club house, offered for 110,000; the William Moore property at the southwest corner of Blxth street and First avenue, offered for $10,000; the L. Baldwin property at the southwest corner of Sixth and Willow avenue, offered for 10,000 without the build ings; the Woodbury property at the north east corner of First avenue and Seventh street, offered for 14,600; the property on Pearl and Main streets, between the Brown block and the Day & Hess building, of fered for $7,200; the Shugart property at the northwest corner of First avenue and Sixth street, price not named. Several of those present appeared to favor the Shugart property,' but attention waa called to the fact that at the time this site was favored for the Carnegie library build ing, a question arose as to the title, owing to the peculiar wording of the will of the late Mrs. E. L. Shugart, owner of the property. Mr. Shugart, who was present at the meeting, said he would have to con sult with his two sons before he could name a price for the property. At the time', the property was sought for the library build ing U. was offered for 11?, 000 with the under standing that $2,000 could be realised for the buildings. Mr. Shugart expressed a doubt if the property could be secured at that price now. There has been some talk of the part of the Shugart property facing Sixth street and across the alley from the postoffice as a site for the association build ing. General Grenvllle M. Dodge evinced his Interest In the project by attending the meeting and taking part In the discussion. He suggested that In order to make the association popular among the young men of the city it be conducted on a liberal plan and that billiard rooms and other amusements be provided.' Without these at tractions, General Dodge said, the young men would seek other places to spend their leisure hours, Harry Curtis, the new secretary, arrived from Dubuque yesterday in ' time to be present at -the meeting. He Indorsed whst General Dodge' suggested and further ree ommended'that the association derive rev enue from dormitories and not from stores as part of the building. He said the dormi tory plan of revenue was becoming more popular every day and had proven most successful In Dubuque. Mr. Curtis also sug gested that the management be .as liberal as possible In equipping the building, so as to make It attractive to tho yonng men General Dodge' conveyed the welcome Information to the meeting that he Could say authoritatively that the several , rail roads entering into. Council Bluffs would give material aid to the project later. This was welcome news to the executive com mittee, which on Its visits to Chicago had been unable to secure any assurance frorn Ute railroads that they would assist finan cially. - , Congressman Smith also spoke In favor of having, the association building con ducted on as liberal a plan as possible. State Secretary, W.' A. Magee was un able to be present at the meeting yesterday but It Is understood he will be here some day this week.

Father ' Luke Donlon of St. Patrick's church of this city was served an Injunction Sunday morning Just before service, preventing him from circulating certain circular letters which had been printed ready for use on Sunday morning. Sheriff Caldwell of Waterloo served the papers which prohibited passing the letters which contained the names of the delin quent church members, nearly all of whom are among the 'prominent and Influential circles In the city. Father Donlon is Just completing his sixth' year with this church and for the laat two years there has been disaffection among '.some who claimed that the taxation for the support of the Vhurch was more than was necessary or legitimate and utterly refused to further give their support.' The feeling Is so In tense that It is feared It will disrupt the church. The' Injunction papers that were served were asked for on Saturday and were ready to serve when the time came. A bond was furnished for $260 and signed by one of the members of St. Patrick's church. One portion of the circular letter Issued by Father Donlon read as follows: '"This fact proves and demonstrates that God pilots His church and In vain do church fighters and critics raise their Insignificant voices against God's anointed. The result has always been that they have been over whelmed by majesty and made to bite the dust."

John Cownle and the other members of the State Board of Control today refused to make any statement in answer to the open letter by Representative C XV. Miller of Bremer county. In which he attacked the management of the State Hospital for In ebriates at Knoxvllle. But tho board, did, on Inquiry as to the success of the institu tion, disclose some statistics that were gathered during the last two months and i just completed last Saturday. On the order of the Board of Control, Superintendent Osborn of the Knoxvllle In Ituation wrote to the county clerk of every county from which Inebriates have been sent to the Institution during the year end ing July 1, 10". The letters were sent out to the county clerks on August 1. Mr. Miller's letter was not made public till last -fiutur- j day, so -the atatlstics are not gathered In answer to him. The county clerks were , asked to report on the success of the Insti- I tution In curing the Inebriates from that I county. ,Tliey were asked to report defi nitely on all the Inebriates sent to Knox vllle during the year mentioned. There werel7 Inebrlatea aent to the hos pital from eighty-nine counties during tha yesr July 1. to July 1, li7. Of these eighty-nine counties the clerks from sixty nine, answered the letter of the superin tendent and reported on 3K4 cases.

George F, Rlilnehart, editor of the Democrat-Chronicle, a weekly paper of this city, and one of the most prominent demo crats of the state, has taken a thirty day option on the plant of the Des Moines Tribune, a republican newspaper started here a short time ago by C. D. Hellen of Webster City. It la proposed to make It a democratic dally. The democrats of the state have for some years been en deavoring to get a dally started here. One of the , chief .occupations of the executive council In Its official capacity as , the executive council promises to be protecting the people of the state of Iowa from wild-rat schemes. There Is scarely a sitting of the council but there Is appli cation for permission to sell stock In some scheme that promises to. make for the purchasers of the state a fabulous for tune on an Investment of a few hundred dollars or less. Owners of patents with high sounding names are frequent appli cants. Since there Is nothing published as to these the public has no Idea of what It fs saved from. One of the most recent was a patent contrivance. The applicants wanted to gain permission to sell stork In the corporation they had organized.
