JUDGE MACY DECIDES VEXED QUESTION
Property of Coinpnny In Unontloii
Held Wet to lie "Gooiln In Trail-
nil , " n * They Arc Hetnllcil
nt Council IlltttTn.
Judge Macy In the district court yester
day handed down his decision In the suit
ot the Rock Island Plow company against
William Arnd , county tneaaurcr. The de
cision Is against the plaintiff and denies
the application ( or an injunction to restrain
the levy of taxes on property of the plain
tiff company , - -which- Is claimed , nro
"goods In transit. " In this case the Rock
Island I'low company resisted the right of
the city and county to levy taxes on their
stock , claiming that the goods were simply
In transit and had already been assessed
at their starting point. The case In sonic
respects was similar to eulta brought by
Other Implement companies in this city
and In which the ruling of the court was
In their favor.
In thU case , however , Judge Macy held
that the plaintiff company had failed to
show that this -was a , distributing point , but
on the contrary ovldonco Indicated that It
retailed hero the very goods which It
claimed were exempt from taxation. If the
plaintiff hod shown that the goods In ques
tion TVCTO simply unloaded from one car
and etor > ed in the company's warehouse near
the railway tracks until such time as' they
would bo unloaded la other cars for trans
fer to other , soiling points , Judge Macy
stated , ho would have rendered his decision
against the county treasurer.
The question of the assessment on agri
cultural Implements has been a vexed one
for several years In this city and the re
sult of moro or less litigation. This is the
first case Inwhich the decision , of the court
boa been against the Implement company.
Decision In Dnllnrd Cane.
Judge Macy also handed down his deci
sion In the case of N. M. Puscy , executor ,
against Prank K. Robinson and others. This
Is the suit In which the court was nsked
to place a construction upon the will of the
late Dr. Ballard. Prank K. Robinson and
other heirs ot the late Mrs. Sarah J. Bal
lard objected to the manner In which Ex
ecutor Pusoy administered the estate and
claimed that Mrs. Ballard had a dower In
terest in It. Thla was * denied by Pusoy and
Judge Macy In his ruling holds that Mrs.
Sarah Ballard had no dower Interest , hav
ing accepted the terms of the Tvlll of Dr.
Ballard , by which during her lifetime she
received an Income from the rents and
profits of the estate. By his -will Dr. Bal-
iard left In trust about 3,100 acres of farm
ing land for the 'benefit ' of the children of
O. R. Ballard , his son. Prank K. Robin
son and other heirs of Mrs. Virginia Rob
inson , a daughter of Dr. Ballard , claimed
that Mrs. Ballard had a dower interest in
this property and that at her death this
interest should be divided among them ac
cording to her will. The property In
volved is said to bo worth about $100,000.
The trial of the personal injury damage
suit of J. E. Blxby against the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge com
pany was commenced bolore Judge Macy
and a Jury yesterday afternoon. Blxby
sues for $20,000 for Injuries alleged to have
been received May 31 , 1803when a Bur
lington freight train backed down on a mo
tor car at the Main street crossing , crushIng -
Ing the car , killing ono and injuring a
number of the passengers. This Is the second
end trial of the suit. At the first Blxby
secured a verdict for $8,000 , but the motor
company appealed and tbo supreme court
sent the case back for retrial. Blxby , who
Is a brother of Chief of Police Prank Blxby ,

CITY MAY DECLINE TO I'UUCHASE.
Council Likely to Ilefrnln from the
Elrctrlo Uirlitluir Proposition.
Some of the aldermen take exception to
the statements made that the bids of the
Council Bluffs Gas and Electric company
were practically Ignored at the secret ses
sion held Saturday night of the committed
of the whole. They say that the proposi
tions of the local company were given as
much consideration as any ot tbo bids. The
feeling is gaining ground among the city
fathers that the city la Bet at present. In
a financial condition to entertain any prop ,
oaltlon looking toward the building and
purchase of a municipal electric lighting
plant and the prospects now are that when
the * matter comes up for action at the
meeting of the council next Monday night
that all tbo bids for the construction ot
a plant will bo rejected.
It was reported around the city hall yes
terday that a majority of the couucllmen
bad come to tbo conclusion that the best
thing to do was to make a abort time re
newal of the contract with the local com
pany at Its figures contained In llo propo
sition for a five-year contract , which Is $73
per lamp. Mayor Jennings Is strongly In
favor of pursuing this course , as under
this proposition the city can secure sixteen
additional lamps at a cost not to exceed
the amount paid at present under the old
contract.
Under the old contract the city pays for
124 lamps at $84 per lamp per annum ,
which means a total per year ot $10,416.
Although the local company's bid of $73
Is on 160 lights with a flvo-year contract ,
which would bo twenty-six more lights
than at present , Mayor Jennings Is ot the
opinion that sixteen additional lamps wouH
bo sufficient and It la understood that the
company would furnish them at the same
as for ISO , Thus 140 lamps at $73 would
bo $10,200 , about $200 Ices than the city la
at present paying for only 124 lights. To
ralso this amount of $10,220 it would only
bo necessary for the city to levy a 3-mlll
tax. Under the proposition of the O , P ,
Miller company ot Chicago the city -would
have to levy a E-mlll tax and in addition
give the company a fifteen-year franchise ,
The bid of the Municipal Construction
company of Chicago provides that the city
shall pay $70 per light per annum tor fif
teen years and in addition giro the company
a franchise for commercial lighting for
twenty-flvo years. Under this bid 160
lights at $70 per lamp would mean $10,500
a year , which the pity would bo compelled
to pay for fifteen lyears , uo matter whether
the coat ot production ot electric lighting
ehould become reduced ( n that tlmo or
not.
not.In speaking of the matter yesterday one
of the largest taxpayers in the city said :
iTbls talk about the city building and
operating Its own lighting plant with the
city's finances In their present shape ap
pears to me to bo simply absurd , I do not
favor paying the local company any moro
than the lights are worth per year , but I
cannot see for a moment where the city
can possibly expect to make sufficient out
of commercial lighting to pay the expenses
of operating such a plant. In my opinion
the result could bo but ono thing and that
Is within a year or two the plant would
have lo bo turned back lo the company
constructing it nnd then the city would
bo bound by a fifteen-year contract nt pres
ent prices. I think the aldermen had better
go a llttlo slow nnd look before they
leap. "

SIOUX CITY , Sept. 23. ( Special. ) Sorno
moro rather sensational facts with refer
ence to the attempt of Senator Pottlgrow
of South Dakota to use the regiment from
that state for his political benefit have
como to light. It appears the senator haa
been carrying on from tlmo to tlmo an ex
tensive correspondence with members of the
regiment. Ho has not confined his attentions
to officers , but has written to men In the
tanks. Ho would send a personal letter In
which ho would Incidentally mention his
Ideas regarding the war In the Philippines
and would then ask the soldier to wrlto
his. Some of the men , naturally , felt
rather set up at receiving a letter from
a United States senator and replied at once ,
often echoing the views of their corre
spondent.
In this way Mr. Pettlgrow proposed to
lay a foundation for a condemnation of the
war by the only regiment from his state
on the nrlng line. But the exposure of the
scheme by Congressman Gamble and the
letters from the officers withdrawing their
charges against Colonel Frost probably have
thwarted the scheme , though It Is esti
mated ho must have a largo number of
these letters In his possession unpublished
The exposure has created quite a sensa
tion la this section.
