President Hurt of the Union Pn-jlflc rail
way , In an Interview , hns assured the spe
cial committee of the city council , to which
the matter wns referred , that his company
has no Intention of abandoning the transfer
depot In this city , but on the other hand
that a number of cjctenslve Improvements
are contme-plntcd and will bo shortly car
ried out there.
The committee told President Hurt that It
had been nppolntcd to Investigate two com
plaints thnt had been made to the city coun
cil against his rond. One wns the abandon
ment of the "dummy" trains between this
city and Omnhn. The second wns that
the Union Pacific and other roads connect
ing with it had ceased to make. Council
Bluffs their terminus r.nd were transferring
their passengers nnd freight In Omnha In
stead of at the transfer depot.
In answer to the llrst complaint , President
Burt .admitted to the committee that the
"dummy" service had been practically
abandoned because it had long ceased to be
a paying venture. The street railway be
tween Council Bluffs and Omaha , ho said ,
had absorbed all the business that formerly
made the "dummy" service profitable. He
said , further , that passengers preferred to
leave the trains at Council Bluffs and make
their way across the river by street car ,
rr.ther than continue on the trains and then
hnvo to board a motor at the depot to get
up town. Under these , conditions , Presl-
dent Burt said , he could not see why Coun
cil Bluffs should Insist on or even desire
a continuance of the "dummy" train service ,
as the motor company certainly reaped
a bencllt by Its abandonment and the city
did also , indirectly.
Improvements Coil It-ill | l luted.
As to the second complaint , that the
Union Pacific had ceased to recognize Coun
cil Bluffs ns the terminus and that the
transfer was to be made simply a "whistling
station , " President Burt entered nn em
phatic denial. He called the attention of
the conimlttco to the fact that It was
through the Influence of the Union Paclllc
that the. mammoth Peavey elevator had
been erected at the transfer lant year. He
alco surprised the members of the cominlt-
tte by stating that negotiations were now
In progress for the erection of two and
pobslbly thrco modern grain elevators at
the transfer of even larger proportions than
the Peavey structure. If the negotiations
proceed to a satisfactory termination , It is
the Intention nt present , ho said , to have
these elevators constructed this year. The
erection of those two or three elevator * , Tvltu
tbc two already here , ho said , would estab
lish Council Bluffs as ono of the leading
grain shipping centers of thej west.
As a further proof thnt the company had
no intention of taking its business away
from the transfer , President Burt showed
the committee plans and explained in de-
tall the Improvements which thej Union Pa
cific Is contemplating and In fact has partially -
tially commenced In Us yards here. These
changes , when completed , will nearly double
the capacity of the yards , which will bo
graded as to bo what Is known as a "grav-
ty" yard throughout. The dirt required to
grade the yards will be brought from South
Omaha. The company will also surface Its
yard ; and tracks on Union avenue to Broad
way with gravel from Sherman , Wyo.
CoiiiiiilKri- Submit * Its Hi-port.
The committee , consisting of Aldermen L.
M. Shubcrt , J , D. Johnson nnd John Brough ,
prepared the following report which It sub
mitted to the city council at tbo meeting
last night :
\Ve , your commtttec appointed to Investl-
gate the abandonment of "dummy" trains
between thin city and Omaha , and also to
Investigate the report That the various
railroad companies are running' their trains
direct to Omaha , and by thus operating
them reduc-lntr our city to simply u
"whistling trtntlon , " report ns follows :
Thai ! wo have Investigated the report and
find that the Union PacIHe Hnllroad com
pany 'has ' abandoned the "dummy" train ? ,
except certain runs during the morning
and evening.Ve have conferred \rtth the
olllclnls of the company and they disclaim
any Intention of abandoning the transfer
station and say they Intend to maintain
said transfer station In tbo future as they
have In the past. Also that they Intend In
the next two years , and probably within
the next twelve months , to Invest a very
largo sum In Improvements In Council !
Bluffs by making additions to their build
ing ? , both passenger and. freight. Increase
their trackage , enlarge their yards and
make other improvements which at the
present tlmo t'hey are In a position to make
public or tell any person the nature of.
Your committed U unable at the present
tlmo lo recommend any measures to betaken
taken In this matter , as several fine points
of law are Involved regarding the rights
of thu various ran da.
The commercial committee has pubmltteU
a report to us which sets out all the facts
as to rho rights , of the different railroads
onterliiK our city and we heruwlth submit
the same for your consideration , i'our
committee believe * that If a committee of
represunt.itlvo citizens , who would consider
this oue-stilon in iv fulr-mliided way. care
fully weighing- both the light ; ? of the city
and of the railroads , were appointed to
take this matter m > wl h tno various com
panies ) , they might bo able to arrive at
some satisfactory agreement whereby the
city would gut valualilo conrlderallons
which would bo of far greater value to our
city than merely the running- "dummy" I
trains between this city and Omaha. The
railroad company clulniH that the electric
line has * ( > demoralized the business that
there If no longer any profit nr even revc-
nitd In runrXiiR said "dummy" trains.

ment , receiving a largo rupture. James

ages to which he is entitled he left to the

per to move that the city ntlorney draft
nn ordinance prohibiting the placing In the

walk around It having sunk.

erty to confer with the motor company.

IKS MOINI3SJ Jnn. 22. ( Special Tel
egram. ( Senator Lister of the "BlR
Four" district In northwestern Iowa
today Introduced a bill to prohibit
public boxing contests nnd prlzn lights In
this stntc. It has been expected for some
time that a bill against prize fighting would
liu Introduced , ns the law , ns U now stnmls ,
In Inmc , but Lister's action seems to be In
nl.l of the sporting frntcmlty.
Ills bill permits boxing contests before
athletic clubs. In fact the bill , it It becomes
a law , will bo about as liberal as the Ilor-
ton law of New York.
The Lister bill simply provides thnt to
the . present prlzo fighting law Ihcre shall bo
added a section prohibiting nny two per
sons from engaging In public sparring or
boxing I nt fisticuffs , with or without gloves ,
excepting , however , nthlctlc clubs and gym
nasiums having a license to box. Viola
tion shall be n misdemeanor , punishable
by a fine of not moro than $500 or Imprison
ment In the county jnll of not more thnn
150 ilnys. Its provisions apply as well to
spectators as to those cngnglng In the boxIng -
Ing or to any one who permits the boxing
to bo carried on on his property.
This bill , If U becomes a law , will be
hailed with delight by the sports.
Prize lighting has been carried on In all
tilie principal cities of the state during the
last year. The Ministerial association of
DCS Molnes caused the arrest of two boxers
hero about two months ago , but concluded
to let them go without prosecution , prefer
ring to await the convening of the legisla
ture. They are preparing n measure to pro-
hiull Ihe game nnd will have It Introduced
within n short time.
A measure waa Introduced today by Sen
ator Healy , calling for the repeal of the
anti-fusion law. The law as It now stands
prohibits the printing of a name on an offi
cial ballot over one tlmo and thus pre
vents , In a measure , fusion. There has been
considerable criticism over this acl nnd Iho
bill lodny Is for the purpceo of giving the
opposition to the republican party every
opportunity to go Into battle and win by
fair ( means.
Hocr .Sympathy llPNolulloii Lost.
In the lower house Representative Carter
of Sioux county presented a resolution of
sympathy for the Boers. Carter Is a repub
lican and the resolution was moved for adop
tion by Kerr of Grundy , also a republican.
On roll call , every democrat voted for It ,
togelher with six republicans. The resolu
tion was lost by a9te of 07 to 22. The
republicans who favored It all represent

DES MOIXES , Jan. 22. ( Special Tele

Inheritance tax Is constitutional and that
the amendatory act passed by the twenty-

provides the notice required and
remedies the defects of the orig

The law Imposed a tax of G per cent on all
Innerltances , which goes to collateral heirs.
The court held that In view of the sub
