employed on the railroads In Council Bluffs
and vicinity. The ministers signed a letter
to the Japanese Interpreter who has gen-
. eral oversight of the welfare of his coun

Many Proposed Extensions Are .
t at Oat for the Present, '
The plsns and specifications for a mu
nicipal water works plant, prepared by City
Engineer Etn re and amended and cut
down so as to come as nar ns possible
within the amount the city can go Into debt
for such a p.irpose, were submitted to the
city council at Its meetinj last night.
They were accompanied by a brief report
from the city engineer, but none from th?
committee, of which Councilman Hendrlx
la chairman, and which had the matter In
charge.
At 'the suggestion of , Mr. Hendrlx the
plans will remain In the office of the city
engineer for 'the -next two week, so Ihey
can be inspected by the public.
The cost of the proposed plant, with the
extensions to( residence districts now with
out water service ellmlnsted. according to
Mr. Etnyre's estimate. Is $616,902.. made up
as follows:
Pumping station ,..S111S)

Total 18, 902
River Drat Source of Supply.
In his brief report, Mr. Etnyre states
that he considers the Missouri river the
best source from which to procure the
wster; thst the largely Incressed area of
the. settling basins will give clearer water
than, at present; that the distributing mains
under his plans are increased In slxe and
weight, greatly extended and reinforced.
. The plans contemplate 42.788 miles of
cast Iron pipe as against "4.8 In the present
system. They call for H03 fire hydrants,
i2& of which will be six-inch, as s gainst the
present JR, all of which are four-inch. It
Is also contemplated to lay seven miles of
two-Inch galvanized service pipe.
The plana as revised do not provide any
water service for the hill residence dis
tricts, but Mr. Etnyre states this can be
provided later and at comparatively small
expense by a system of standpiprs.
The plans, without any discussion,, were
ordered placed on exhibition.
An ordinance was Introduced on behalf
of the R. If. Bloomer Artificial Ice and
Cold Storage company granting the Bur
lington railroad permission to . extend a

ing for an Increase In the salaries of cer
tain city officers, was taken from the com

rae spoke strongly in favor of Its passage.
Ed. McClelland was given the contract for
fining the approaches to 'the newly con
structed concrete bridge over Indian creek
at Frank street on hla bid of, 7 cents per
cubic yard. The approaches, however, will
not be filled for at least a month In order
to give the concrete sufficient time to
harden. . . -
Mayor Macrae called attention to what
he termed the disgraceful condition of the
Great Western railroad crossing at Fourth
street, where he said he saw an, automo
bile nearly wrecked a few days ago, and at
the auggestlon of Councilman Wallac?,
chairman of the committee on streets and
alleys, tho city marshal was Instructed to

in some quarters that unless the case Is
settled before It gets Into court, the ob
jection' to the final report of J. H. Bales
as guardian to . Gllman II. Wiener may
"start something." Judge Wade of Iowa
City Is representing the Wisner estate.

Cox off, but he continued to work and
refused to give up the Job. The foreman

(From a Staff Oorrcsnon.lent.
DES MOINES. Jan. 14. (Special.) In the
decision of Judge Piatt of Black Hawk
county, announced today, the state of
Iowa won I10.W0 In collateral inheritance
taxes and Incidentally a court decision af
fecting a new phase of the collnteral in
heritance tax law.
The state brought suit to collect the
collateral Inheritance tax on tho estate
of George Wells of Grundy county, who
died leaving Hn estate worth Jl.OAOfO.
Wells died, leaving no direct heirs and his
wife died leaving no direct heirs. He made
two wills. The first gave the property to
his wife and the last gave it to his col
lateral heirs. f
The wife's relatives brought suit, alleg
ing that when he made the second will he
was of unsound mind. They compromised
the suit, however, and accepted S3u,0nQ.
the balance to go to the collateral heirs of
Wells. The unilateral heirs or Mrs. Wells
resisted the. payment or the state's In
heritance tax of 5 per cent on the ground
that the 1300,000 going to them was In the
nature of a debt against the estate, which
went to his heirs.
George t'osson, assistant attorney gen
eral, prosecuted the suit in the district
court at Blackhawk on behalf of the atate
and C D. Mullen, former attorney general
of Iowa. Judge Wade of Iowa City and
Charles Pickett of Waterloo conducted the
defense. It was contended by Mr. Cosson
that In any event all of the estate was
subject to the collateral Inheritance tax
because under both wills the property went
to collateral heirs and that the compromise
settlement could not affect It In any way.
Judge Piatt today announced hjs decision
holding In favor of the slate.

POSITION OF VON BUELOW
Extension of Suffrage Would Give Too
Much Power to Agitators.
SOCIALISTS BLAME THE POLICE
They Say There Would Have 'Been o
Disorder Bnnday Had Officers
Not Charged Harmless
Processions.
BERLIN", Jan. 14. The Associated Press
Is enabled by the courtesy of a personage
who Is In close relations with Prime Min
ister Von Buelow, to set forth the vlown
of the government concerning the street
demonstrations of last Friday and yester
day, which resulted from the demand In
the Prussian Landtag for the abolition
of the present plutocratic system of suf
rrage and the substitution therefor of man
hood suffrage.
"The socialist ; disturbances will result
In the liberals drawing closer to the sup
port of the government," this official said:
"Tho liberals in Germuny are composed
largely of merchants and other property
owning Interests. These Interests perceive
that if they are to avoid being devoured
by the socialists they must stand together
for a strong government. Prince Von
Buelow's declaration whs no more than
the simple truth. The government will
consent to no electoral changes which In
crease the power of the socialists to agi
tate against the existing organization of
society and all political parties, excepting
the socialists, will make common cause
with It."
Socialists Blaine Police.
Both sides are disposed to minimize the
chsracter of the demonstration of yester
day and each affirms that tho manlfestants
were competed In. part of rowdies who
made use of this opportunity to endeavor
to create mischief. Herr Von Borrles, the
chief commissioner of police, says the
demonstration was carefully planhid and
that tho police took decisive action only
when they knew that the socialists were
determined upon unlawful public demon
strations. The Koclalists quite agree that
the demonstrations were prepared In ad
vance, but they declare that they would
have passed off In an orderly manner If
the police had nut brutally charged in
offensive paraders.
Detached observers regard the events of
the last four days as embittering the
masses and aa making the government
more determined than ever to keep (he
francliihc on a limited basis. Nothing fur
ther is expected to happen In the immedi
ate future, except that the socialists, seek
ing a fresh weapon, probably will atir up
tho passions of those who believe them
selves to bu denied adequate representa
tion. There were ffw signs to be noticed this
morning of the violent scenes of yesterday,
when the demonstration for a general suf
frage hi Prussia resulted In a series of
encounter with, the police.
The c ity ambulance station treated over
100 wounded. Of these twenty-eight per
sons were seriously Injured. The police in
their encounters yesterday had a difficult
task in overcoming the tactics of the In

Parades In Other Cities.
Dispatches from the provinces . declare
that the demonstrates yesterday In favor
of suffrage reform were enthusiastic. In
Essen 10.000 people paraded the streets
singing the "Marseillaise" and "Sons of
Freedom.'.'
In Cologne the police dlsperaed various
processions by barring the streets. Frank
fort was the scene of a street fight be
tween the police and the manlfestants, In
which a number of persons were Injured.
At today' session of the Prussian Land
tog. Minister of the Inferior von Mollko
declared that the socialist alone will be
responsible for the consequences In case of
further demonstrations. He added that the
government has decided to repress by every
means in It power any attempt to disturb
peace and order.

1905, and then says:
We know also that thct-a forests are nf
the ul most Importance to navigation on Hi
streams to which tiny give rise. All tl-:
water v. hull falls in the southern Appal
achians goes to the sea through navigable
channels which it has cost the government
over $30,000,000 to keep clear from sand,
silt and gravel. Tills detritus is increas
ing evety year as the mountains are lie
nuded of their covering. The tank of clean
ing out the south) rn streams and harbor
grows heavier each year. I'ntll we re
move the cause by protecting tiieso moun
tain forests from fire and reckless eat ting,
we shall inevitably expend increasing sums
without permanent results.
Eight years ago the movement for the
purchase of thee forests took definite
shape. While II lias been growing and
Is stronger now than ever. Its merits should
make It far stronger than It Is. Therefore.
I am pleased al the urbanisation of your
