First Payment Ordered and City Will
Be Authorised to Begin at Once
fa Means Much to Bost
neaa Men.
The contract for the opening of First
avenue from Main to Fourth street was
signed yesterday when the question of
title to all of the property required was
definitely settled. The contract was ap
proved by the city council and the mayor
and city clerk authorized to sign It The
cost of the property to be condemned
will be approximately $20,000. Property
owners and business men residing near
by have contributed enough to reduce
this amount to $11,460. which the city is
to pay in annual installments of $2,000,
the defered payments to draw 6 per
cent interest.
By the terras of the contract, titles to
the lots involved, four in number, are to
be secured by Robert W. Wallace and
placed in escrow in. the Counll Bluffs
Savings bank until the final payments
of the city are made. The, contract pro
vldes for the immediate possession by
the city of the property whenever the
first payment of $2,000 has been made to
Sir. Wallace. The council passed the
necessary resolution directing the city
auditor to draw a warrant for $2,000, and
this permits the city to begin at once
the work of demolishing the old buildings
and opening the street. Whether there
will be any trouble with tenants now
occupying part of the property to be
used for the street is not ' stated to a
certainty, but the understanding is that
the contract with Mr. Wallace covers all
contingencies.

$10,000 had to be paid on the architect's
estimate of work done on the new club
building. There has already been Daid

work , is progressing very nicely, and in
two months it is expected th. building
will be ready for occupancy. No other

of Broadway and will have to cross only

eastern part of the city will be equipped
with the lead cable and in about three
more weeks the forest of poles may be

has about completed the work of remov
ing the fire alarm wires from the poles

John Connors, 27 years old, of Newark,

were held to the grand jury, and Fred
Roberts, aged 19, of New York City, and
Thomas James, 1$ years old. of St. Louis,
were sent to Jail under $1,060 bond in the
police court yesterday morning on the
charge of breaking into boxcars in the
Northwestern railroad yards. It was
shown that the young men were led into
temptation by the revelation of a case of
beer, discernible through a barred window
of the car. The day was so hot and the
temptation so great that the little lead
and tin fixin' on the car door offered
no resistance. They drank half a case
of pints, and would have gone away more
or less refreshed If they had. not found
a case of gin in the car. This was their
undoing. They encountered Special Of
ficer F. A. Burke. All were .quipped
with legs too badly tangled to permit
escape.
Mabel Madison, the 14-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Madison, who
ran away from the Creche, where she was
Uilng detained, was found Monday after
noon at the home of Luther Clarke, the
man who has infatuated her and caused
all of hor trouble. Clarke, who Is a bIxt
foot stalwart man, ten years older and
ten times larger than th frail little girl,
was in town in company with his father
when the girl broke away from the
Creche and she says she rode to their
home with them in the farm wagon.
They live Beveral milei east of Bilver City
on a rented farm. The mother la dead
and a little 15-year-old daughter keeps
house for the father and several brothers.
Mabel was found In company with this
little girl lying on the lawn asleep, while
the father and brothers were at work in
th. fields. Th evidence showed that the
Madison girl had been enticed from her
home by the men and County Attorney
Capell filed an Information charging tne
offense against the older son and he will
be arrested today. An order was made
consigning Mabel- to the reform school,
but paroling her to the custody of uer
parents. The testimony indicated tuat
the little girl haa been working at tne
Woodward candy factory and that her
parents have been drawing all of her
money and using it. This was one of the
causes of her dissatisfaction and mad.
uer want to leave home.
Th. sever, electrical storm last evening
that mad. a terrific 'amount of noise
without Jarring loose more than a baker's
dozen of measily little drops in this vi
cinity, created considerable havoo with
telephone and other wire services. Whole
sections of telephones were knocked out
and light and telegraph wires were made
to carry fuse-bursting currents. The
lightning struck on the north side of
Broadway at the foot of Glen avenu.
somewhere, and burned off a feed wire
cut in from' the street ctr cable to sup
ply power used in the Mucci ice cream
factory. It burned the wire In two about
fifty feet from a tall telephone pole that
carried the fire alarm wires and a num
ber of others. The live end fell across
a good ground at the foot of th. pole, and
instantly there were pyrotechnics of a
brilliant order from the top to the bottom
of the pole. City Electrician McKlnley
happened to be passing, and climbed the
tall pole and cut the live wire near the
top, and undoubtedly prevented some ac
cidents for the wire was carrying th. 600
voltage of the street railway . fi-eder.
When the current flashed Into the
Mucci building It set fire to the wood
work. Muccl picked up a pall of water
and threw It on the tlames. The water
put out the fire, but It also put Muccl
out for a few minutes. The current
flashed through the stream of water and
knocked nlra clear across the room. The
fir. department was called, but 110 dam
age was done.

Carmen Demand
Their Recognition
There has been a feeling of expectancy
among local labor leaders for the last
few days in connection with the threat
ened strike of the shopmen on all of the
railroads west of Chicago to, enforce
recognition by the railroad managers of
the National Brotherhood of Carmen, Th.
referendum vote that was taken in June
throughout the affected territory was so
overwhelmingly In favor of the strlko
that the conviction among the men of
a general strike Is universal. A numbe.
of the local strikers on the Harriman
lines, who have been Idle now almost a
year, yesterday expressed their conviction
that the crucial moment is near at hand.
Bert L. Sanborn, local strike manager
and member of the national board, has
received a number of Important com
munications from M. F. Ryan, general
president of the railway carmen, but
he carefully refrained from making any
statement that would indicate their
Character. All that Mr. Sanborn would
say was:
"If the Railroad Managers' association
continues to refuse a conference it means
a general strike on every railroad In the
west and south, Involving more than 350,
000 of the nine crafts of shop and yardmen-
The question of a conference must
be settled not later than July 14. If the
conference is not granted the strike will
be called. President Ryan has no option
In the matter nor have the various man
aging boards. There Is no power vested
in any of the officers of the carmen's
association to call off or 'hold up the
strike. It has got to come if the Man
agers' association refuses to meet us in
our capacity as representatives of the
national association. The only power
that can nuspend or call off the strike
Is the power that gave the order the
men themselves, and this can only be
done through another referendum vote,
requiring a month or more."
Strike Manager Sanborn Is not subsist
ing upon any pay or pension granted by
the unions he represents, but is making
an honest living by giving efficient
service as a special deputy sheriff at
Manawa. All of the Illinois Central and
Union Pacific shopmen who went out
here last year and who remained in the
city have found other employment. Not
one of them haa been guilty of an act
of Intimidation or any other offense
sufficient to attract police attention since
the strike was declared.
A marked Improvement has been re
ported In the freight handlers' strike sit
uation. Until recently stuff sent out from
Chicago reached here In deplorable shape.

cil Bluffs, we can employ only the most

The Board of County Supervisors yes
terday accepted the' advice of Mayor
Maloney and others and decided not to
consider any further the project of chang
ing the location of the contagious di
seases hospital. The council committee
that appeared before the board on th.
previous afternoon stood 2 to 1 In favor
of such removal, and conveyed a propo
sition for the appropriation of $2,000 for
Improvement of the present building.
Under the circumstances the board will
ingly listened to the suggestion to change
the location to some point where land
was Inexpensive Mayor Maloney ap
peared with the straight proposition to
accept the $1,000 originally offered by th
board, and asked that Supervisor Chil
dren be named as a member of the com
mittee to supervise the expenditure of the
money.
The board had made an examination of
the present location of- the hospital and
had looked at a sit suggested on Hunter
avenue. It became apparent that a cost
of at least $5,000 would be ontalled by
the removal, and as the present site rp-

CLUB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
CONSIDERS PUBLIC MATTERS
The executive committee of the Com
mercial club held a meeting yesterday
and discussed a number of things of more
or less Importance. One matter, relating
to Improved methods of public school In
struction, was of ijreat Importance but
did not reach a point where definite plant
could be formulated.
Representatives of the Interstate Vet
erans' association were before the club
to arrange the' details for the annual
picnlo at Lake Manawa. The veterans,
comprising organizations in Iowa and
Nebraska, sent their representatives with
instructions to fix the date of th en
campment for September 24. This wai a
month later than the Commercial club
officials desired, tor the reason that It
came after the close of the Manawa sea
ton, when the band concerts and all of
the other attractions were withdrawn. It
is probable that the veterans will be In
duced to change th date fixed to the
earlier data desired for their better
amusement.
