Taiea. la Fire Destroys All Property of Ramsey It was not generally known until yes terday how really disastrous was tha fire that destroyed the aecond-hand store of W. B. lUmsey, 318 Kast broadway, a few days ago. The extent of the loss was dis closed when Mr. Ramsey was found yes- 1 terday afternoon sitting in the rear part of the building which he had used for living purposes for a number of years. He had cleaned away rart of the charred debris from the room that had been nls bed chamber and curio shop, which, ha aid, had contained relics and curios rep resenting an actual cash value to him of approximately the result of more than forty-five years of continuous col lecting. There was not a cent of Insur ance. Mr. Ramsey Is more than 70 years old. For twenty-eight years he was a resident and prosperous merchant of At lantic, la., and served several terms as member of the city council there. Ill health forced hint out of business and misfortunes swept away his property. He saved nothing but his collection of an tiques and relies which he brought to Council Bluffs several years ago. They were on the walls and In cabinets of his bed chamber, where the fire occurred. I All were destroyed. There was the sig nature of every president of the I'nited Ktatea but one. In a frame on the waU was a note given to George Washington acknowledging a debt of 120. Across tha face of It had leen written, "Paid. G. Washington." furnishing an auth-'ntlo signature of 'the first president. Thera waa the home-made spear flagstsff car ried by John Brown, a parasol carried by Mrs. Lincoln before she became the first lady of the land. In another frame wan the certificate of redemption of 110 acres of land In the "Territory of Illi nois." la other frames were the first inap of Iowa after the state was admitted to tha union and a territorial map of Iowa. Affidavits and letters showing the authenticity of many of the relics were also destroyed. Mr. Ramsey waa left penniless by tha fire for tha little money he had on hand was burned with the contents of his bed room. Only a 10-cent pleca In hla pocket remained. If waa painfully burned by (he gasoline explosion that caused the file. A few second-hand ranges and heat ing stoves comprise all that ia left him m hi old age. It looked for a little while yesterday that there might be a chanco for Coun cil Bluffs evening It up to a slight extent with the sugar trust for the squeeze brought about by the corner In the sugar market that has ranted the price mora than 1"0 per cent. It failed only because the plan proposed was thought of too late to execute. The Western Sugar company, that por tion of the trust rontmllng the beet sugar product, has stored millions of pounds of sugar In Council Bluffs warehouses each winter This sugar has been shipped from Colorado, I'tah and Nebraska to evade the payment of taxes there. For the encouragement of outsiders to use Council Bluffs warehouses there haa never been any tax levied on the sugar here, and it has thus practically eaoaped nil taxation. Hundreds of thousands of bags have been received each year, the shipments beginning early In the fall and remaining In storago hero until demanded by the markets the following spring and summer. The smallest amount stored here In any year for the last five was about r.,nnnri pounds. The plan formed yesterday contemplatd a suit for back taxes covering the laat five years and selling under attachment proceedings all of the sugsr that remained In storago. It waa defeated by the dis covery that all of the augar had been taken from local warehouses and shipped. A great deal of the sugar has been shipped out within the Inst few weeks and the last within a few dHys. For the first time in the history of stor age business, the sugar manipulator will have to pay taxes on the storage stocks. Thomas Bowman, city assessor appointed by the council to fill the vacancy caused by the death of V. IX Hardin, haa listed for taxation all the sugar he could find when hn turned his attention to the matter lato In 0w summer, lie listed Its taxable valuation at about tlfi,nno, List ing of the real amount would have been approximately $4On,0no. Jobbers yesterdny quoted SV16 per 100 founds as the wholesale price of sugar for Ihe day and the predictions were general that It would reach $10 by Mon day. Nearly all retailers have very light stocks and are thus at the mercy of the market manipulators. Msrkrt quotations yesterday showed a general linn in about every thing but fruit. The price of sugar wilt rauan heavy breaks In the prices of fruit, and the fruit growers will be the greatest sufferers. May Uncover Plan to Steal Motor Cars 11 looks as If the Council Bluffs police huve disclosed a well organized gang of automobile thieves, whose operations rover at least throe states and may em brace a much larger territory. The ar rest of Hubert Beatty, the young man found In possession of the Jackson car supposed to have been stolen at Peklu, 111., and the aubsequent developments. Is tha basis of the belief that he is one of a shrewd gang. Beatty claims to be only 17 years old, but he Is undoubtedly nearer 25 years of age. According to the information of Chief Vlen, a Bulck car stolen In Omaha Wednesday night by Beatty Is now at a garage In Minden, twenty-five miles east of Council Bluffs. Beatty drove t he- Jackson car Into Mlndeii Wednesday and started west with It lato Wednesday aft ernoon and apparently left it on the roadsldo somewhere ami either went to Omaha himself and stole a Bulck car, which he drove back to Minden or was met west of Minden by a confeuerate, who stolo the car. At :3 o'clock Wednesday night. F.. U Duquette and family, returning front a motor trip to Chicago, passed the Jackson csr between I'nderwood and Weston, twelve miles east of Council Bluffs. It waa deserted, without lights and was standing In the weeds by the aide of the road. Soon after they were hailed by a man, who stood In the middle of the road, who stopped them and wanted to knaw If they knew how to put the side curtains on a Bulck car. It was ralnlntl hard and a Bulck car waa stanldng near by. Yesterday at the city Jail, Mr. Duquette and his driver recognised Beatty aa the man who stopped them, and Beatty admitted it. The belief is that another man waa to take the atolen Bulck car eastward, while Beatty continued west with the Jackson The chief of police of I'ekin will arrive here today, when more light may be thrown upon the work of the organization. Medical Plans First, Then Choice of a Physician Medical supervision of the schools of Council Blurfs Is not to be t an experi mental nature, but the methods n i.ees.i fully followed and which brlna- the test results in other cities nr to be st'id' d, nnl the atenipt made to Incorporate :;ito the system to be used here only Irvi he'. tractlcal features. For the purpose ef making this study nnd submitting the facts gained the special committee of th beard. Dr. Karl Bellinger, F. C. Htnl rhks and Ftymest Ktevensnn, wero in structed at the meeting rf the Board of I0lu atlon lsst night to gather the Infor mation and lay It before the members at the next meeting. It was agreed that this action should r taken before any provisions were r.isdo for the employment of a physician rr steps taken to get the tl.OuO required to pay for the work. Consequently i!m pe tition that, was expected to be present! bearing the names of about all the doc tors In town urging the appointment of Dr. Treynor was withheld. It wss decided to outline the plan to be followed and then secure a physician to fit the plan rather than first hire the doctor and fit the plan to hla srx-rlal qualifications. There are S.0m children In the schools and if ten minutes should be required to examine each child It will take i.oin) minutes. oV 1,000 hours, equiva lent to 2i0 days of ten hours, or more than ten months of the school period. It was pointed that this would be a largo Job and the 14,000 to be provided might be Insufficient. Huperlntendrnt Beverldgo presented statistics from hundreds of cities, whera Inflection prevails, showing that cost per pupil rangeu rrom 9 cents to 62 cents per year. Sentiment was that a system should be devised that would permit of no antagonisms, but would insure the co-operation of all. Tlio money for the work must come from the contingent fund ami tha extra levy will have to be made before September. The publlo schools of Council Bluffs will cost $:T,ono more this year than last. The board derided upon the levy to be made, which will have to bring in 1210.000. Last year It was llfO.uDo. The exiienscn for maintaining the schools are distri buted thus: Teachers" fund. $IIR,000; con tingent fund. $17,000; bond Interest fund. Jk.oio; building fund, ii,0o0. Dan year the teachers' fund was tlOO.uCn); con tingent fund. t,0n0; building fund. 1.19,0)0. and Interest, SK.OOO. The question of holding ten months' school during the year was discussed, but waa favored by Mr. Stevenson. The school year will consequently remain as at present, nlno months. The scools will open on September S. Tho board authorized the purchase of a copy of Kuglneer Mayne's new may or tha city at a cost og $J0, for use In the superintendent's office. Proposed changra In school districts In the west ern part of the city, brought about by teaching tha eighth second grade In the Thirty-second avenue oulldlng were pre sented and approved. Several hundred children will be affected. Real Katatei Transfers. The following real estate transfers filed Friday were reported to The Bee by the Pottawattainln County Abstract company A.

Prepare for Hal aae. Preparations are alrndy under way for a rate cane before the Interstate Commerce commission more Important than the one which was recently decided regarding rates in the eastern territory. The Information to this effect was given tha Iowa railroad commission by a high official of the western railroad. The plan la for the western rulli nnds whose operating between Chicago and the Pa cific to prepare and file new rate sched ules covering practically every class xnd commodity, with an Incrrasn In rates In every Instance, averaging something like 6 per cent, and to file them all at once. They will then ask a hearing an soon an the commission suspends the rates, which will be a matter of course, for the rep resentatives of the western commisplons will follow their plan In the eastern ease and resist the rates. The Bums involved will he lsrger thBn In the esstern case and the fight will bo a fierce one. lor each side will huve the advantage ot the developments In tho eastern ense. The railroad man said the schedules might be ready to file by the middle of Sep tember. Food Prices nt l.ixrrr. Ilesult of preliminary invcstliriitlon Into the higher price of all foodwtuffs here has convinced the officials that there Is not to be any lowering of food prices soon, and that so long an the war continues, and perhaps long afterwards, there will be a steady upward tendency in prices. The meat puckers say that In Mew of the demand for meat abroad meat prices will surely keep up. The price of sugar has gone up rapidly nnd will continue. The price of vegetables has advanced slightly In keeping with other things. The first outburst of Indignation wan directed toward local dealers, but they are able to ahow that In only a limited degree are they responsible for the rise. Kanert (hinge In Sblnale Hatr. Lumber dealers have hope that the In terstate Commerce commission will grant a revision of rates from the west on shingles. This may lie either by a change In the Chicago rate or in the Iowa rate. The arguments hav Just been printed oa behalf of tho Iowa lumber denlers. They show that the ralloruds have long Maintained a discriminating rate again' t Iowa, the rate from the far west ahmglea being higher to Iowa than to Chi cago, the excuse belnT that watei transports-.

Dyers, the chief oil inspector, has charge of the districts. It was found Ithat. following the change by which the 'g.'isollne Inspection was dropped, because of the certainty that It was illegal, some of the Inspectors had districts much larger than others, and it is for the purpose of equalizing tho work and the compensation tliHt the changes are made. The statu will continue, however, to n akc some slight profit off the oil Inspection. Will Hecommend Amendments. It In understood that Commissioner iarst of the workmen's compensation buraeu is preparing to make some very j earnest recommendations to the gover nor. In the matter of amendment of the workmen's compensation act. It has been found almost a necessity to provide tl at in some way the slate hliall take chargo or the Insurance feature for some of the Industries, where the rlfk is great and the eost In securing casualty insur ance is high. Then li)eie will be an nctlve campaign to have the law changed to cut out some of the more evident dis criminations, such as the discrimination against married men. Trouble liver Franchise.

The Wew SAXON $395 Automobile Commonsense IF a Saxon will carry you 1,000 miles on $5 worth of gasoline, why invest in a car that eats up $15 worth in the same distance? IF a Saxon requires only $1 worth of lubri cating oil in 1,000 miles, why drive a car which uses $3 worth? IF a Saxon tire costs $10, why pay $50 for a big car tire which will last only one third as long? Finally, if a Saxon at $395 will go as far as any other car; if it will do what any other car will do and do it with equal comfort, why buy a car which costs two to five times as much to begin with and two to five times as much every day you run it? We can prove every one of these points in favor of the Saxon. And these are facts too vital to ignore. Ride in the Saxon Today The Saxon is ready waiting for you.
