DEBATE OVER WATERWORKS

RESULTS IN NOTHING, AS USUAL
i Oar Aniirsrt to Know Wherry
Money Is to tome from for 5 err
Plant or What tn nates
A re Likely to Br.
The wsler works iiestinn Km rerpon
slble for one of tho nhl-t Ime discussions
from which nothing resulted, and from
which nothing will result according to the
expressed opinion of Mayor Macrae, at the
meeting of tho city council last night. The
net result of the protracted discussion was
the laying over of the matter, namely ad
vertising for bids and specifications pre
pared by City Engineer Etnyre for a
municipal plant until the next meeting.
After the matter had been threshed over
In the same old way and substantially In
the same old languague. Mayor Maerne
took a hand In the discussion, "This Is all
," said Mayor Macrae, using a for
eign word which was understood to mean
"nonesense." "I don't believe we will get
any bids and even .If wo do have bidders,
there wll be an injunction out so quick as
to make bur heads swim. There Is no need
of any hurry In this matter. A few months
more won't hurt, seeing we have waited
twenty-seven years already. Ix-fs dlscues
the question thoroughly and thereby let
the next council have the benefit of our
discussion This nrw plant will not be
built bv April 1."
Councilman Hendrlx had moved that the
clerk be Instructed to advertise for bids
on the city engineer's pians and specifica
tions, tha bids to be In by noon of March
If, when a discussion arose as to the
amount of tho certified check which should
accompany each hid and the amount of the
bond the successful bidder should put up.
It was during this part of the discussion.
or more correctly speaking, wrangle, when
tha mayor took a hand and at his sugges
tion the matter went ovr until the.n-'xt
meeting.
Strikes First fcnns.
' When the subject' of the proposed nrw
plant- was first brought up Councilman
Maloney wanted' to know what proposed
extensions In the Second Ward had been
cut out to reduib the cost of . the. plant.
Councilman Smith followed with an en-1
qulry why the city engineer had cut out all
the proposed extensions In the Fifth ward.
His constituents, he said, paid their taxeF
the same as other people and were entitled
to water. Councilman Maloney expressed
a similar opinion. City Engineer Etnyre
with some warmth replied to the councll
men with the explanation that all of the
proposed extensions could not be carried
out in tho new system for tha ..money
which the olty was able to raise for this
purpose.
Councilman Fleming then took the floor,
insisting that the first phase of the ques
tion be considered and decided, was, where
was.' the city going 'to get the cash to
build the plant with. He offered some fig
ures showing that the city could not ex
ceed an Indebtedness all told of. $i0.000.
Fnun this, he said,. ;iiuat be deducted the
present lndebtcincws of the ' city, which
was $260,000. leaving only MO.000 available
for the water plant, or-at least 1100,000 less
than It would cost. In his opinion, he
said, the plant could not be built for lost)
than 1660,000 and It probably would cost 10
per cent more.
This brought Councilman Hendrlx to his
feet with another array of figures show
ing that In a few years the city would be
able to devote at least Jfill.OOO towards
paying for the plant.
Then Councilman Flelming supplemented
his former figures an enquiry as to where
the city would be able to secure, the neces,
sary funds to make the needed extensions
and repairs if an accident happened to the
plant. He spoke of the possibility of a
flood from the Missouri river Injuring the
reservoir, tho breaking down of the pump
ing plant, etc. He also suggested that
something should be known about the
rates to be charged consumers. The peo
ple, he said, expected lower rates If the
city owned the plant, tnan they are nowing
paying. ; ,
Wallace Makes Prediction. '
This appeared to Councilman Wallace the
physcologlcal moment for hltu to afford
some information on this phase of the sit
uation, and he went over agnki a long ar
ray of figures which for the last two
years lie had claimed showed that within
twenty years or ao the city would own
the plant free of incumbrance.-'
When the .motion to advertise for bids
was ma do Councilman Knudsen amended
by wanting the extensions In the Fourth
ward Included in the plana. Councilman
Smith took the cue and offered another
amendment that the proposed extensions
in the Fifth ward south of Twenty-first
avenue be also Included. Mayor Macrae's
counsel that the matter lay over until
next week and that In iho meantime
Councilman Smith and Knudsen come to
some arrsnBcment with the city engineer
prevailed. ,
The ordinance granting the Burlington
railroad permission to lay a switch track
on Fourth street to the Bloomer com
pany's warehouse, as amended by the city
solicitor, was pasl under a suspension
of the rules.
Councilman Fleming's ordinance raising
the salaries of certain of the rlty officers
was brought up, but at Mr. Fleming's
suggestion was again laid over until the
next regular meeting.
A represent alive of a local printing
house appeared before the council with a
proposition to sell it 5M copies more or
less, as the city deemed wise, of the new
primary law. He stated that the county
supervisors had ordered 2.0t0 printed for
distribution in the country precincts. After
mere or less dlecusalon the matter was left
to the discretion of City Auditor McAneney
with power to act.
The matter of opening Twelfth. Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets through
Avenues I. M and, N was referred to the
committee of the whole. It was stated
tlmt the Illlonia Central railroad's yards
an shops blocked the streets In question
at the points named. The committee was
dliected to ascertain if these streets north
of Avenue K had ever been vacated to the
railroad company. These streets were re
cently opened up to Avenue K by the
platting of the old I'nion Driving park.
The council will meet Friday afternoon to
up some curbing and sewering.
Conference on Mlwlona.
The opening session of the Methodist
Mlasionary institute at the Broadway
church last evening was attended by about
sixty persons. Including sixteen psmora
from out of town charges, of .which there

purpose of the meeting. The speakers last
evening were J. M. Trimble., field secretary

"Tb Present Missionary Need," was Mr.
Trimbles subject, while Mr. Doughty'
topic ws "The Need Mnde Real by Mis
sion Study."
Three sessions will be held today, the
evening meeting bringing the Institute to a
close.
Apologies for Brrrt,
Rev. Marcus P. McClure. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church,' stated jester
day that some people had placed a wrong
construction on what he said Sunday rel
ative to the meeting at which Attorney
General Byera spoke. "Some of the re
ports of whst I naiii appear to convey
the Impression that I made an apology
for Mr. Byers," said Mr. McClure. "I had
not the slightest intention or wIk'i to make
any apology for the attorney general. What
I desired to explain was that neither the
church nor .the members of the congre
gation believed In making personal attack!
from the pulpit such as Mr. Byera did. 1
liavrt no apology to make for Mr. Byers,
as that Is something he can well take
rare of himself. 1 merely regret the
character of the attorney general's ad
dress and so stated. I was also anxious to
explain to my congregation that the blame
for the meeting being held In their church.
If any, should attach to me. I did not
and do not consider that I was in any way
to blame for whst Mr. Byers said, how
ever much I may regret It, therefore I
have and had not any apologies to make."
Y. 'ill. C. Am Prouram,

passed the senate.
Speaker Skaggs, who has been taking a
most actlver part for the union men, left

FRENCH DEBATE ON MOROCCO
M. Plnehon Snya France Will Sot
Permit Interna tlonnlisatlon
of Country.
PARIS, Jan. 2?. Nona of the sensational
surprises anticipated in connection with the
Moroccan debate In the chamber of deputies
today occurred. M. . Plchon, minister of
forolgn affairs, tipeaklng for the govern
ment showed plainly that the cabinet with
out Ignoring, prefers not to discuss tho
Dclcasse incident, which aroused such a
storm of vituperation beyond the Rhine
and such higli praise across the Channel.
He went no further than to register an en
ergetic protest against the idea that tha
restoration of France's prestige wan due
to the ex-minister.
Mr. Pichon's slrongest words in connec
tion with Morocco which were received
with cheers on all sides were: "France, on
account of Algeria, could never permit the
Internationalization of Morocco."
lie defined France,' policy as "the de
fense of France' legitimate rights and the
execution of the European mandate of
loyalty towards tho sultan, but no inter
vention In the interior and no expedition
cither to Fey, or to Morocco City."
In conclusion he said:
"If Abd-EI-Azl falls, we will treat with
his successor In the name of Europe, but
we cannot admit the internationalization of
Morocco."
The reception of M. riehon's spee'h
makes It manifest that. the chamber will
support tha government against both ex
tremes, M. James, who wants to abandon,
and M. Dclcasse, who wants to conquer
Morocro.

duchy of Finland to overawe any protect.
This prot"sia si rengthened by the pub

defending such a utep as bi Ing ill the best
Interests of Ktihxia.
Inquulry, however.' In well informed
circles, both Hunslan and Finnish, fatlif" to
