IOWA PARTIES
FIND LAW VIO
LATING HARD
Two Strangers Who Claim Red Oak,
la., as Their Home, Land Here,
One Still in Jail.
From Tuesday's Daily
The path of the wrongdoer is hard
indeed and the fact was most forcibly
impressed on two strangers who claim
Red Oak, Iowa, as their home, that
were gathered in by the police on
Sunday evening and were given their
day in court yesterday afternoon.
The two men were found Sunday
night on the streets here and it is
claimed that one of the party was
bearing the marks of drinking and a
search of the person of the man re
vealed the fact that he was the
possessor of a small amount of intox
icating liquor that was contrary to
the peace and dignity of the state
of Nebraska. The man, with his com
panion, was taken to the city jail by
Officers Jackson ' and Svoboda and
lodged for the night.
Yesterday complaint was filed by
City Attorney J. A. Capwell, charging
A. W. McGinsey with the possession
of liquor and for which the court
assessed the usual fine of $100 and
costs. Me. McGinsey was remanded to
jail to await the forthcoming of funds
to purchase his release while the com
panion was set forth to try and raise
jthe funds to purchase freedom for his
associate.
The men stated at the trial at
Police Judge Weber's office that they
were engaged in some grading work
in the vicinity of Louisville.

$10,000. First National. $S,000.
There was also reported some $84,000
in registered warrants.
Mayor Sattler called the attention
of the council to the fact that it had
been the habit of paying the interest
on special improvement district war
rants out of the interest and warrant

and he thought tha?. the interest
should come out of the special funds
instead of the general interest fund.
He also pointed out warrants in sev

along Sixth street to make it possible
to see down these alleys.
The new street intersection mark
ers were in use on Sixth street and
the suggestion was made by Council
man Schutz that the city investigate
the matter further with a view of
having some made if they did not
care to purchase the ones now in use.
The old jail building is also to be
given the long promised houseclean
ing as Councilman Schutz secured the
adoption of a resolution permitteing
the mayor and clerk to call for bids
for the plastering of the jail as well
as the painting of the roof and sides

several cob'olestones missiog from the
sewer, Mr. Elliott stating that he had
heard the report and investigated and
found that there were places wherf
the stones were missing but that they
had evidently been left out for sewer
connection and had not failed out as
was claimed. Mr. Bert Coleman, the
contractor, was present and stated
that the blocks had been left out
when it was proposed to place an inlet
at the alleyway near the Bach store,
but which had been dropped later. He
had since replaced the blocks in their
original places and the sewer in good

was adopted that the street just east

could park there instead of having
to scatter all over that section of the
city.

HENRY FORD HAS
A NEW ENGINE
Believes locomotive Will Trans
form Railway Trans
portation. Detroit, Aug. 1. The locomotive
that Henry Ford believes will be the
next step in world railroad trans
portation is about ready to make its
trial test on the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton railroad.
It is the longest locomotive ever
built, is electrically driven and pos
seses enough powed to pull a train of
freight cars a mile and a half long.
Some of the outsanding features of
the giant engine follow:
It weighs 372 tons; develops a
maximum of 5,000 horsepower; is
117 feet long and will go up to 35
miles an hour.
A single high tension alternating
current of 22,000 volts will be taken
directly from the line and "stepped
down" to supply 600 volts direct cur
rent driving motors by means of
transformers and motor generators on
the engine itself.
While divided into two main sec
tions of two articulated parts, each
of which is complete and may be
operated separately, control is equal
ized at the front end where the
engineer sits.
The fireman's duty will be to look
after operation of the motor genera
tors. Each of the sixteen axles is driven
by a separate electric motor. The
drive wheels are 42 inches in diam
eter and have separate brakes operat
ed by air cylinders.

1924 places the probiable total at a
new high point $545,810,639. This
is at the rate of ten million and a half
dolars a week which can be represent
ed by a row of ten-thousand dollar
residences over four miles in length
set on fire and completely destroyea
evry seven days.
Btcause of their close contact with
the fire loss problem, the insurance
comianies realize more clearly than
uose the general public, the magni
tude of the yearly wastu of material
vt-t'th and of human life.
As underwriters, they view with
alarm the resultant ever-increasing
loss-ratio, 'approaching 60. per cent
last' year. Co-operation of every ern
est co-ordinationconstitutes the best
possible, and indeed, the only means
for remedying a situation which is
a discredit to an enlightened people.
This world could be worse. The
dog may track a little mud into the
house but what if he was a centipede?
