DAY OF TALK ON TELEPHONE
Council Committee Disposes of One Franchise
. and Lays Another, One Over.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE GIVES CASH BOND
Several Other Changes Made In the
Proposed Franchise, bat Company
Will Not Concede Fro
'Phones for Schools.
The aldermen sitting: as a committee of
the whole yesterday afternoon decided for
the second time within about a week upon
the character of the ordinance granting tho
Interstate Telephone company a franchise
for a telephone system which In their
opinion should be permitted to go before
the people of the city for their approval.
Several changes were made lit tho ordinance
aa it was submitted to the city council
Monday night and It was then referred to
the city solicitor to be redrafted and pre
sented to the city council next Monday
night for action.
At the council meeting Monday night
Emmet Ttnley, attorney for and one of the
incorporators of the Council Bluffs Inde
pendent Telephone company, suggestsd to
the aldermen that the provision In the In
terstate company's ordinance requiring It
to file a $15,000 bond for the faithful per
formance of Its contract was of no force
and that the city could never recover on It
In case the company failed to Install and
have In operation Its plant In the time
specified. This statement of Attorney Tin
ley evidently carried weight with the coun
cllmen, as yesterday afternoon they de
cided that In place of the bond the company
should deposit with the city treasurer the
sum of $5,000 In cash, to be forfeited to the
city In the event of the company falling to
carry out " Part of the contract.
Declines to Far Interest.
When this change was suggested the
committee at first insisted that ths com
pany deposit 110,000. Mr. Stevens on be.
half of the company agreed to this, provid
ing that when the money would be returned
to the company on Its fulfilling Its eon
tract it should also receive 8 per cent on
the amount of the deposit. Mr. Stevena ex
plained that arrangements could be made
with the bnnks whereby 8 per cent would
be paid on the $10,000 cash deposit. Objec
tions were raised to the payment of the In
terest and City Treasurer True declined to
be custodian of the money on these terms.
After a lengthy .discussion it was finally
agreed that the company should deposit
with City Treasurer True $6,000 within five
days after the passage of the ordinance, to
be forfeited In case of failure on the part
of the company to carry out Its contract.
The company will not receive any interest
on this sum.
The section requiring the company to de
posit $1,600 to pay the expenses of the
special election at which the ordinance will
b submitted to the vote ot the people was
stricken out as not being a necessary part
ot the measure. The money will have to
be paid by the company before the mayor
will call a special election.
' 'Alderman Lovett again Insisted -on .the
company furnishing six free telephones for
the schools snd as many more as might be
needed at half rates. Mr. Stevens declined
to concsde to this demand and a motion
by Alderman Lovett to tho effect that ths
company be required to furnish these free
'phones for the schools and that In consid
eration therefor' the amount to be paid the
city by the company out of Its gross earn
ings be reduced from 8 to I per cent, failed
to carry. Aldermen Lougee and Casper op
posed Alderman Lovett'e proposition on the
ground that such an arrangement would he
taking part of the revenue ot the city to
benefit the schools, for the support of
which the people were already highly taxed.
A new condition was Inserted In the ordi
nance, requiring the company to furnish
either Individual or party line service to
any person or persons applying for same.
providing such' applicants agreed to pay
one yesr'a rental of such service. This
provision was Incorporated, as It had been
suggested that there was nothing In the or
dinance to compel the company to furnish
service except such as It chose.
These were practically all the changes
decided upon, although It Is possible that
some of the aldermen may be prepared with
other amendments when the ordinance
comes before the city council next Monday
night for action.
Hons Company Asks Aetlen.
Attorney Ttnley and several members ot
the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone
company were present at the meeting and
after the Interstate company's ordinance
had been disposed of for the time being
Mr. Ttnley asked the committee to give his
company's ordinance consideration. He
said: "We ought to bo given treatment
as. business men. We are going to build
this telephone line and that Is alt there Is
to It."
Alderman Lougee protested against taking
up the ordinance In the shape It was as
the company had done nothing in the last
tour weeks to Indicate that It expected or
even Intended asking for a franchise. In
the face ot the proposition offered by the
Interstats company bs for one would never
vote In favor of the ordinance submitted
by the local company. '
Alderman Lougee, after the ordinance
had been taken up for ths purpose of read
ing It ssctlon by section, moved that all
but the title and opening section bs stricken
out and amended by the Insertion ot the
sections contained In Uie Interstats com
pany's ordinance,' On 'being put to a vote
this wss ' defeated by ,Alderman Lovett,
Olson and Huber voting against It. Ths
term ot the proposed franchise was then
reduced from thirty-five t9 twenty-five
years and then the committee decided It did
not desire to spend any more time on It so
referred It 'back . to the council for Ut
further conslderatlqn. ',
Find War to 9pad Moaey,
The balance In' the treasury of the Wo
man's Sanitary Relief commission will be
turned over to Camp John L." Moore, Iowa
Society .Army of the' Philippines to assist
In ths purchase ( a banner. This was
decided upon at a meeting of ths commis
sion yesterday afternoon at the residence
of Mrs. Don Macros. The com ml u Ion was
organised at the time the Fifty-first Iowa
volunteers were mustered In . In 1898, and
through Its efforts the soldiers from Council
Bluffs were supplied ' with many comforts
while In csmp and In the field. The bal
ance In the treasury Is $58. How to dis
pose of this balance has been a disputed
question ever since the return of the Fifty
first from ths Philippines.
. Scaeal Board Meeting Adjaaraed.
The monthly seaslea ot the Board ot Edu
cation, slated for Tuesday night, was post
poned by President Sargent to Friday Bight
on account at the absenoo from ths city of
Msmbers Hess and Macrae. Bids for the
tour-room addition to -the Pleree Street
school will bo received Thursday and this
would hve eceaaltated another meetlag
this week to consider' them. - - -
It at understood that teachers wll not be
sppolnted until the June meeting, but It Is
likely that . ths board Friday night will
taks some action regarding the recent dis
turbances In the High school and It Is ssld
that changes In the faculty there are imminent.
Mattere la District Court.
At the conclusion of the evidence for
the state In the case ' against Attorney

HOT FIGHT FOR THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT
Supreme Court Holds Retroaactlva
Featare of the Law on Incor
poration Fees is
Void.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, May 21. (Special.) The
department encampment ot the Grand Army
of the Republic for Iowa will heartily en
dorse the Roosevelt administration's war
policy in the Philippines and denounce
those who have been criticising the admin
istration for alleged cruelty in the matter
of dealing with the people of the Philip
pines. This is the plan which was made
plain this morning, when General Grenville
M. Dodge arrived In the city and mingled
with the soldiers. He csme from Council
Bluffs, accompanied by John Llndt, who la
to be the next department commander, and
he waa busy during the day greeting
friends. General Dodge Is highly Indignant
at the attitude of some of the members ot
congress and others In calling In queatlon
the military methods of the administration
and is determined that the Department ot
Iowa will go on record in regard to a mat
ter that is purely one of military customs
and usage. During the forenoon General
Ell Torrance of Minnesota, commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of tho Republic,
arrived in the city and also Governor S. R.
Van Sant of Minnesota and . hie military
staff. They were escorted to tho hotel and
before noon Governor Cummins and his
military staff called on them .officially and
on General Dodge at his apartments. In
the afternoon Governor Cummins and staff
gave an official reception to the visitors)
at the executive office and hundreds were
received. It is the plan for the governor
ot the two states and their staffs to go
to Rock Island tomorrow morning and at
tend the encampment of the Illinois Grand
Army, where they will be officially re
ceived. The council of administration ot the
Grand Army of the Republlo held a session
this afternoon to consider preliminary mat
ters. The members were pleased with the
showing made by the officers, as reports
have been received from all the posts In
the state and the membership, according
to these reports, la shown to be much
larger than a year ago. The report of In
spector L. B. Cousins of Council Bluffs is
especially complete, and Commander Metx
gar reports that It Is one ot the best re
ports ever made to any department. It Is
expected that the actual membership of the
encampment tomorrow will be nearly 1,000.
The encampment will open tomorrow
and the parade will take place In the after
noon. Campflre In Evening.
This evening at the Auditorium there waa
hold a great campflre, addressed by a large
number of the leading members of the or
der In the state. The principal addresses,
however, were by General Torrance and
Governor Van Sant. General Dodge talked
briefly and also Commander Metzgar and
others.
Juat where next year's convention will
be held Is a question. Cedar Raplda is
right after it. but some of Its opponents
say that as yjpW a few years ago tho en.
campment was held there, It la but fair to
let some other city have It. Keokuk Is
also an eager solicitor, and many ssld to
day that they believed they would prefer
the Gate City. As Dubuque and Sioux City
have alao bad the encampment, It seems
that tho contest will be between Cedar
Rapids and Keokuk.
Supreme Court Decisions.
The Iowa supreme court, In tho case ot
Lamb against Dobson, this morning held
that the secretary of state waa wrong In
attempting to exact a fee from a corpora
tion desiring to have its corporation Ufa
extended. The Twenty-eighth general as
sembly undertook to provide that fees
should be exacted as In new corporations
and to make It retroactive, but the court
holds this could not be done. The law has
lnce been remedied so that fees are re
quired.
John Lladt ot Council Biuna, wno win do

Grand Army ot the Republic, was victor in

Following Is the report of the Iowa
weather bureau for the week ending May
19, 1902: The first half of the week was
cool and wet, with excess of cloudiness; the
Ir.st half much warmer, with heavy local
showers In northern snd central districts.
Ths average temperature was somewhat
above the normal. Conditions were highly
beneficial to small grain and grass,- es
pecially In sections where the rainfall was
abundant; but there was considerable delay
In corn planting operations. The work,
however. Is well advanced In the larger
part ot the state, and la early planted fields
a fair stand has been secured and cultiva
tion Is In progress. The reports show about
the usual amount of damage to corn by cut
worms and wire worms, and some replant
ing will be necessitated. The early potato
crop Is very promising, and garden truck
generally Is well advanced. The Ideal con
dition of the soil and subsoil Is ths most
encoursglng feature ot the crop situation,
and preparation for seeding and planting
baa been unusually thorough. The orchard
fruits give fair promise.
