Iiilprnliitf Ciiniiiu'rcr CoimiiiIhmIoii
Wants Power to Fix llntes.
Kdward A. Moseloy, secretary of the In
Icrstato Commcrco commission, has writ
ten to tho commercial committee of the
city council, asking Us endorsement of tho
hill Introduced In the United States senato
by Senator Cullom, which Is designed to
plvo tho commission the authority Intended
to bo conferred by congress when tho law
was originally enacted. Tho bill has been
cntlorsod by numerous national associations
nnd Secretary Moseley is anxious that the
commercial conimltteo Bholl pass resolu
tions calling on tho lown delegation In con
gress to nsslst In Its passage.
In his letter Secretary Moseley says In
part: "A few railroad odlclals and some
newspapers have, charged that the commis
sion, hy recommending these amendments,
Is seeking unlimited nuthorlty to niako
rates. This chargo Is entirely without
foundation. Tho commission neither asks
nor desires to bo Invested with general
rato-maklng power, it simply asks for au
thority to correct rate which huvo been
jirevlnusly established by tho carriers In
tho full oxcrclso of their rato-maklng
power, when such rates are found by tho
commlshlon, after duo notice. Investigation
and full hearing, to be In violation of tho
net, nnd tho commission asks this because
cxporlcnco has denionHtratod that thcro Is
practically no other way by which tho public
can bo protocted against oxccssUo or un
justly discriminative rates.
"It has been asserted In somo quarters
that tho powers asked for In this regard
would Imperil tho commercial interests of
tho country. This Btntcment Is altogether
erroneous. On tho contrary, tho passage
of this mcasuro would conserve tho Inter
ests of producers, manufacturers and ship
pers generally, while protecting tho rights
of tho carriers.
"Tho authority to correct rates, which
havo been found to bo unlawful. Is neither
arbitrary nor tlnal under the provisions of
this bill- In every cobo tho carriers must
liavo due notice and opportunity to bo heard
before any change In rotes can bo ordered
nnd nil orders of this character aro made
iiibject to review by a circuit court of tho
Vnlted States and by tho supreme court of
Jio United States. Tho solo purpoto of these
intendments is to furnish tho meuns of en
forcing tho present provisions of tho law
ugalnst unreasonable rates and unjust dis
crimination and to thnt end to confer upon
tho commission tho degree of authority ro
pectlng rates which for ten years It was
supposed to have, but which tho supremo
court has declared It dors not possess."

The voters of tho Independent school dis

Whcthor they doslro the school located on

Independent ScIiikjI District or Council
Muffs, In., wero authorized and directed to
Ishuo the bonds of said district for tho pur

some central location, nnd In pursuance of
said voto a number of sites havo from
time, to time been selected, and the district
Inis become Involved In litigation and con
troversy, and there Is a manifest differ
ence of opinion among tho members of tho
board nnd among the people of the eltv as
to tho proper location of suld High nchool
building: and
Whereas, A petition numerously signed

Stewnrt Ararnes.
In presenting tho resolution Stewart called
nttontlon to tho faqt that tho district had
$65,000 lying Idle In tho bank, on which It
was paying Interest nnd deriving no benefit
from, and bo thought It was about tlmo
that somo deflnito action looking to the
building of thn High school should bo taken.
Referring to tho slto laBt selected, on First
avenue, ho did not thlnl; tho school should
lo erected under any circumstances on In-
sldo property. Tho board, ho was Bure, was
not unanimous as to tho First avenuo slto
and for his part ho would llko to havo tho
volco of tho majority of tho peoplo ns to
where they would prefer to havo tho school
located and for that reason ho urged the
adoption of tho resolution.
Member Moore, who was occupying tho
chair In tho absence of President Sims, said
ho would llko to sco tho action selecting
the First avonuo slto rescinded beforo nny
further uctlon was taken. Jio know that
nn Injunction would bo taken out against
that sito.
Member Swnlno said that ho had been In
formed thero was an Injunction being
"constructed" against this site.
Henry then took tho Moor and said: "I
am opposed to letting tho question go be
foro tho peoplo. It is mcro child s play
asking tho pcoplo to decldo somothlng that
tho law distinctly says they cannot decldo.
I havo been nssurod that there would bo no
Injunction sought against tho site on First
avenue."
i.Mooro: "Hut I know thero will bo an In
junction." Henry: "I havo been assured by the best
authority In Council Uluffs that tnere will
bo no Injunction proceedings."
'.Mooro: "Well, if no ono else gots out an
injunction I will myself; that Is, my name
will not ho to It, but i will havo ono gotten
out all tho same."
An to the I'ropoNl t lona.
Member Cooper, at this part ot the pro
ceedings, suggested that botoro voting on
tho resolution offered by Stownrt they de
cldo what propositions should bo submitted
to tho people, and ho offered that tho fol
lowing bo plnced on tho ballot: Old High
school site, Oakland avenuo slto and any
slto west of Main street and south of nroad
way. On being put to tho vote his amend
ment was lost, but Stewart changed his voto
from no to yes In order that his original
resolution should not bo killed and Cooper's
amendment wits tacked ou.
On being put to tho voto tho resolution ns
offered by Stowart with Cooper's amend
ment carried, Hcsa and Henry alono voting
against it.
The necessary preliminary preparations
for tho school election on March 6 wero
made. Tho voting districts were divided
among tho members of tho board as follows:
First, Sims; second, Swalne nnd Stowart;
tMrd, Moore: fourth, Cooper and Henry:

DKS MOIN'US, Feb. 19. (Spccl.il Tele
gram.) Today's session of the legislature
was decidedly tamo. Many members of tho
assembly wero nbsent from tho city, hav
ing spent tho Sabbath at homo. It was ex
pected that tho report of the attorney gen
eral on tho building and loan and lnsuranco
companies would bo submitted to tho upper
body today, but It failed to nrrlvo In time.
A few moments p' - tho senate adjourned
it was handed In. It will be read tomorrow.
It is expected tho document will bo full
of sweeping facts concerning tho present
method of conducting tho companies In this
state. Thero will bo many recommenda
tions regarding tho changing of laws nffect
lng organizations doing business In Iowa.
In tho morning session of tho legislature
most of tho tlmo was devoted to a discussion
ot Young's bill rolatiug to tho disposition
of dead bodies. The mcasuro provides that
It shall bo mandatory with county author
ities and managers of public nsylums, poor
houses and penitentiaries to turn over to
medical schools bodies of deceased per
sona who havo not expressed a wish to be
burled or whoso bodies aro not claimed by
relatives. Thcro wns general opposition to
tho bill for Its failure to provide that bodies
may be claimed by friends beforo being
turned over for dissection. Titus offered
an amendment to Increase tho penalties for
violation of tho provision of tho act, but
this was defeated. The bill was then
amended to conform to tho ideas of tho op
position nnd referred to tho commlttco on
public health.
In tho upper body thrco new bills wero In
troduced today. Ono, by Grlswold, pro
poses to provide that 75 per ent of the
gato receipts ot penitentiaries shall go to
buy books for the prison library nnd tho
remaining 25 per cent for amusements.
Mullan introduced a mcasuro to incrcaso
tho pay ot supremo court reporters to
about $2,000 per year nnd to grant them
additional powers regarding tho combina
tion of annual volumes of opinions. Tho
senato Indefinitely postponed the bill by
Albcrson providing that taxes refunded to
poor persons shall drnw C per cent nnd
bo a lien ngainet the property of tho Indi
gent person. A similar bill has been killed
in tho house.
IHirht Nnv IHIIx.
At tho afternoon session ot the legisla
ture eight new bills wore introduced, but
two wero importunt. One, by Temple, pro
poses to reduce tho number of supremo
Judges from six to Ave, to crcnto an np
pcllant court of threo Judges to havo Juris
diction over cases Involving sums up to
$3,000. This Is to relievo tho supremo
court. One, by Dyers, prohibits directors
ot corporations from selecting officers from
among themselves without tho consent of
three-fourths ot tho stockholders. Tho
bill passed to continuo one-tenth of mill
tax for tho Stato university and tho bill
by Thcophllus for tho creation of a bar
bers' examining board.
Governor Shaw wns approached concerning
tho Hoard of Control appointment this
morning, but refused to bo interviewed.
He declared ho had nothing to glvo out
and would not have anything to glvo out
upon It today. It Is now beginning to bo a
matter of speculation nmong tho members
of tho nssembly ns to whether cx-Govcrnor
Larrabeo's shoes nro destined to bo filled
at all or not. Hut tho governor has assured
his friends thnt he will find a good man
somowherc In Iowa and someono who will

DES MOINES. Feb. 19. (Special Tclo

Ministerial association, held this morning,
Rev. Leonard Hrown read a paper In which
ho suggested that a law nnd order lenguo
bo formed, each of tho thlrty-thrco min
isters In tho city to appoint ten members
nnd have them sworn In ns constables, threo
of each to bo stationed at every drug store
nnd arrest every man selling liquor ille
gally. In his paper Brown dwelt upon tho
alleged impossibility of getting tho reg
ularly constituted officers of tho law to en-'
forco tho statutes and ot their nursing tho
saloon nnd tho brothel. Ho even advocated
tho swearing In of tho ministers themselves
as deputy sheriffs, thnt thoy could super-
Intend tho work of tho other deputies and
sco that tho law wns enforced. A resolu
tion was then Introduced to tho effect
that n law nnd order lenguo ho organized
and that tho paper of Hev. Hrown ho re
ferred to tho temperance committee with
power to act. This commlttco Is In Itself
favornhlo to such nctlon, though not neces
sarily following too closely tho details of

At a meeting of tho coat miners of tho
