NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS , Story of the Grand Hotel Dispute Becom.33 Public Property , CAUSE OF CHIEF GARY'S ' MICHIGAN TRIP , He Went to IlrlnR IJnok 11 Furniture Alan , lint Couldn't Get Him A Hinootli Hellenic 'Hint Chief of Police Gary returned yesterday morning from Lansing , Mich. , where ho has been for over a week past. Tno object of hU trip was not known to the public until his re turn. It Is now found that It was connected with the fight between the firms of Klmball V Champ and Cragin k Co. , at the time the Grand hotel changed hands. The story of the Investigations that huvo been carried on by the chief of police is a long ono , and the developments completely exonerate Messrs. Klmball , t Champ from the charges of ols- honesty that were made tigalnst them by the Cnigiii-.Iowell outfit. Alter Mrs. Cragin and her partner hail been Invited to give up the management of the hotel , there was n profound mystery In the air. The facts of the case wcro Kept from the public With the most scrupulous care , mil thnt every thing was not running perfectly smoothly could not bo kept a secret. Finally the day came when Mrs. Cragin sought admis sion to the hotel , and she was carried bodily down stairs by a burly policeman , in ac cordance with orders from itn management Mrs , Cray in departed from the scene of the conflict with her plumngo very muc'a milled , and breathing threats of law suits and vengeance. For several days she and Jewell , her partner , stayed in the city and circulated reports as to law suits which It might bo expected would bo started in the near future , and then they disappeared. At that time it was charged that a schema had been entered into between the firm of Cragin & Co. . and the 1'htisulx furniture company , of Grand Rapids , Mich. , whereby the firm of ICimhall & Champ were to bo charged n double price for the furniture with which tlin hotel was fitted out , and the pro ceeds of which wet o 10 bo Divided between the two parties to the scheme. Cragin & Co. . hud leased the hotel with the understanding that thev were to put not , less than fjri.UOO worth of furniture in it , this provision being /or the sake of affording Klmball & Champ bcciirity that the rent would bo paid. Another provision of the lease was that when that amount of furniture should bo put In the hotel , a check of 510,000 would bo paid over by Kimbull ft Champ to Cragin & Co. , in order to help thorn carry on business. The furniture was ordered and placed in the hotel under the personal supervision of Frank Smith , the vice president of the company. Ho showed u draft which had been drawn on 'Airs. Vokes of Wllkesbarro by Mrs Cragin , her daughter , for f 10.UOJ. Klmball & Ch'inip had guaranteed that the receipts from the opening banquet would be not less than500 nnd Kimball & Champ wuro induced to fur nish u check roriy.VH ) , instead of the $10,000 , as hud Dceu agreed. In this way the amount of $ U'i,000 ( was provided for in payment for the furniture. That something was wrong was Indicated by the ftct that Cragin & Co. had drawn on the Pl.unilx furniture company for $ oOO u short time after tno opening of the hotel , nnd taking thnt as u starting point the authori ties commenced an investigation. About two weeks ago John N. Baldwin went to Phila delphia , where ho mot Mrs. Craglu , who made a confession of the whole scheme , and this confession is now in the hands of the attorneys for Kimball & ; Champ , who will make It public when the proper time comes. Its exact contents lire unknown , save to the parties immediately interested , but it is said that it discloses beyond all doubt the fact that there was n deliberate scheme entered into between the furniture company and Crugin & Co. , whereby Kimball & Champ were to bo cheated out of about W.500. According to exports who were sent for from Chicago to examine the furniture now in the Grand hotel and give an estimate ns to its value , it is not worth over $14,000 at the outside , instead of $ 'JO,000 , which was the prlco as stated by Smith , the vlco president of the company. In Mrs. Cragm's confession she says that the draft for JIO.OOO which she drew upon her.mothor and turned over to the company in part payment for the furniture , was never paid , and was never expected to be paid. Atlldavlts have been secured from all the banks in Wilkcsbarrc to the effect that the draft was never paid. The $14,700 , then , which was paid by Kimball & Chump , nearly settled for the furniture , and , according to the theories now { advanced , the intention of Crhgiii & Co. and the Phoenix furniture company was that the $ J,500 to DO realized from the banquet should bo divided between them. The money was never paid , however , and suit was commenced in superior court to collect It. The suit is still pending. Chief Gary's object In going 10 Lansing was to obtain a warrant for the arrest of Smith on the charge of obtaining $ K,5UO ! , under false pretenses from , Kimball & Chump. He was urtned with a requisition from Governor Boles , an affidavit from Kim ball & Champ setting forth tbo fnctsOsub- stantlally as above Mated , nnd affidavits from Cour.ty Attorney Organ and Attorney General J. V. Stone , stating that the suit was commenced against the defendants in good faith and that the lacts as stated would bo good grounds for criminal proceedings in the state of Iowa. Chief Cary thought ho was armed equal to any sort of a combat , but ho found that ho hau not reckoned correctly , The matter was laid before Governor Winuns of Michigan , nnd the expectation was that the warrant tor arrest would bo at once grunted us asked for , but the chief's breath was knocked out f him when he was in formed that the governor woiiid hnvoto talto time to notify Smith's ' attorney , us he prom ised to do so as soon as ho found out that an ofllcer was on the ground looking for him. The telegram was sent , and Smith was noti fied from headquarters. Last Wednesday the case was heard before the governor , and after several hours' delay the warrant was denied , the governor assign ing no other reason than that Klmball & Champ had no valid ground for an action at law. The same day search was made for Smith , but ho hud fled , nnd Ills attorneys claimed to have not tbo slightest Idea where he could bo found. The action of Governor \Vinans in giving Smith warning to Icavo the country was the subject for a column article in the State Republican of July 1 , and even Winans' party organ , the Journal , Is as bitter in its denunciations. They also roast Jewell un mercifully. Jewell was formerly a resident of Lansing , where hooccupied the position of clerk In ono of the loading hotels. Ho also sang In ono of the church choirs of the city , out Ills ac'.ions even at thnt time were con sidered somewhat fast. Ho is thought to bo hiding In Now York city nt present in order to keep away from the cQlcers , who may bo after him soon. Chief Cary acknowledges thnt ho Is no match for the governor of n state , but ho says lot Smith show his 11030 outside of Mich igan nnd then see what happens. Ho is con fident that ho will bo brought to justice in duo time. The affair has created an im mense sensation in Luuslng and in fact throughout Michigan , as Smith Is n member of onu of the most prominent furniture firms in the country nnd bus always been consid ered perfectly straight , Cliautiiuiiiii | Today.

Nc.vt Move of the Standard OH Com pany In ljiir i > o. BenuN , July 8 , Interviews with conl oil dealers In Berlin , both wholesale and retail show a very general opinion that the Stand ard oil company , having absorbed the big importlon houses , will now try to gain control - ' trol of the jobbing trade nnd tho.i of the retail business In Germany. Every step Is taken In exact conformity with the law and the remedies to bo proposed are likely to prove only temporary and ineffectual. It Is generally believed hero that oven the Uoths- childs will have to yield to the American company. Hobort Salinger , president of the United German petroleum works , n corporation which has extensive refineries In Hanover , said ho had little doubt that the American company would sooner or later control the entire Gorman market. As soon as they have completed their arrangements with the Rothschilds they will have all Germany In their power. Wo have n few oil wells m Alsace , and there are also some In Gnllcia , but their output is so small that it plays no part in supplying the German demand. "You speak nboui the Uothschilds , " the correspondent said , "but Director Gaedo , the representative of Nobel 'Brothers , showed mo statistics tha other dny indicating that the proJuct of the Hothsohild's wells was small as compared with the ' total of Russia's production. " " , "Then I can only say t 'at , Mr. Gaedo is mistaken. The Hothschilds' wells may net have produced much oil , but they have much territory which is capablq pf .great improve ment. Besides they control the product of many wells which they dqriot nominally own. The only branch of the tradn in which wo now have n good field , " continued Mr. Sal inger , "is that of axle grease and machine. oil. Of the former Germany's state railroads alone consume from UVOlvo millions to fifteen million Kilograms nyoar. The private demand is oven more than that , as is also the case with machine oil. Germany has a pro tective tariff of 12.50 marks ( about S.U2K ) per 100 kilograms on crude oil. Here wo may make a successful fignt Jofrn'short time , but if the great company with' unlimited capital cares to lose sorao monoy-ittcan drlvo us even from that field. The only thing loft 'then will bo to turn our petroleum works Into distilleries. " Mr , Salinger thought that Nobel Brothers would also gladly sell out to the American company rather than risk a losing fight. The biggest conl oil merchant In Berlin Is Louis Lewlshon. Ho thinks the American company will not bo content until it has con trol of the retail business in Germany. "Tho Hothschilds , " ho said , "what will they do If the Americans say to thorn , 'You go east to Africa , to Asia , 'wherever you please ; wo want Europe west of the Russian frontier. ' The Standard lowers prices and makes the Hothschilds howl. Thuy have to como to terms. Add to this thnt Russian oil is far Inferior to the American product. The Ger man newspapers scream and protest. That is all the good It will do. The government can do nothing. Itcannotimposoaprotcctivo tariff , for wo have nothing to protect. If a general dutv was put on petroleum the pear people of Qonnnnv would be the sufferers and not the Standard. Our hope Is thnt as they find tbo absorption of the large Import ing firms HO difficult they will Hesitate to undertake the work of recognizing the entire wholesale and retail trade of Germany. But in time they will do It. Such are the opin ions of tha trade in general. FIHE AND I'OiaCE. General Roundup ot Ounc niislncHH anil KoportH Givou Out.
