RILLS 'PHONE FRANCHISE Ordinance Laid on the Table at the Meeting of the City Council. company refuses to accept terms Amended So as to Provide Lower Hates and Require u. Deposit from Company of Five ' Thousand Dollars. The ordinance granting a franchise to the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone com pany was laid on the table at the meeting of the city council last night after At torney Emmet TInley on behalf of the com pany had declined to accept It In the state In which the aldermen decided that it ought to be submitted to ths people of the city for their approval. In declining to accept the ordinance Mr. TInley asserted that he would be operating an Independent tele phone system in Council Bluffs in a year and that he would go before the people with an ordinance which he was sure would meet with their approval. In substance Mr. Tin Icy stated that he would draft an orllnaucs which he would submit to the people at a special election without referring it first to the city council. The law provides a means whereby the question of granting franchises can be submitted to a rote of the people first without the consent of the c'ty council. The ordinance as redrafted by City So licitor Snyder was passed on suspension of the rules to Its second reading b;n Al derman Huber moved to amend it by sub stituting the rates offered in the ordinance submitted by the Interstate company through Vic Stevens of Dubuque. Huber'e motion was promptly seconded by Alder man Olson and on being put to the vote carried, Alderman Huber, Flemms, Lovett, Olson and McDonald voting for It and Al derman Casper, Lougee and TInley against it. I Aldermen Are Snapicions. This action on the part cf ths council relative to the rates was not ttnlonked tor, as It was no secret that several of the ald ermen had their suspicions regarding the retirement of Mr. Stevens from the field and giving way to the local company. It was known that more than one alderman tod ex pressed tbe opinion that ti, appeared to bim to be another case of '.he so-called "merg ing" of the two street railway systems, the history of which la itlll fresh in the minds of the people of Council Bluffs. Alderman Casper protwei against the substitution of these rates on the grounds that he was sure It wauld kill the otdluance and prevent its accepting by the local company. Mr. TInley, on being called upon, stated bo could not accept the ordinance, as bis company could not possibly operate successfully ucder such low rates. He also stated tbat another reason why be could not accept the ordinance was tbe clause providing for the depositing of a (5,000 forfeit. Alderman Lougee took occasion to explain his vote and to deny the alleged reported statement that It was owing to bis placing obstacles in the way of the passage of this ordinance that Mr. Stevens had decided to leave the field. He went into a lot of de tails of Inside- history of the telephone j fight and asserted that he had knowledge that Mr. Stevens I Intended to build his system on borrowed money, If he built at all, but added tbat be had very serious doubts if he would ever have built under the ordinance If it had been passed. He said further that he did not believe that proper service could be given under the rates offered by Mr. Stevens, and for that reason he voted tor the rates proposed in the local company's ordinance. Attorney Wadsworth presented a commu nication from tbe Interstate company, ask ing to withdraw its ordinance, as it could not accept it now even if it was approved. The ordinance was ordered laid on tbe table and the certified check for $1,600, which the company bad deposited for election ex penses, was returned to Mr. Stevens. This disposed of the independent tele phone matter for the time being and the aldermen are now ' breathing somewhat freer. At the request of Attorneys Llndt and Myneter tbe personal injury damage claim of Henry Lock was referred to the Judi ciary committee for investigation. Over a year ago this claim, originally for $25,000, was brought before the committee of the whole by Llndt and Mynster and a so- called compromise effected whereby the city agreed to accept Judgment for 12.000. Judg ment was entered against the city for this sum, but Mayor Jennings vetoed this ac tion of the council and tbe city solicitor was Instructed to file a motion to dismiss the Judgment. This was done, but the mo tion has never been argued. Tk taloa nf th Crvnirreefttlonal church will give a lawn social this evening at the residence of Rev. Thompson, nu ooum Sixth street.

ONE LOOK AT J30NHAM ENOUGH Three Prisoners Plead Gnllty as Soon as He la Called on the Jury. Judge Wheeler in the district court yes terday took up the criminal calendar, but in each of the three cases assigned for trial the defendant pleaded guilty after the impaneling of a Jury bad been begun. Charles Coleman plead guilty to holding up and robbing W. J. Colburn oa the night of April S near the State School for the Deaf. John Plumb pleaded guilty to be ing Implicated in assaulting and robbing Fred Goth in the railroad yards on May 24. Plumb's two associates, Mike Sheehan and Mike Fahey, were among the prisoners who escaped from the county Jail. H. 8. Fishburn admitted he was guilty of steal ing Charles Bailey's bicycle, valued at $35, which makes the offense one of grand lar ceny. It was an amusing and strange coincidence that the three defendants each decided to enter a plea of guilty after the first Juror had been called into the box. The Juror In question happened to be B. A. Bonham who was called first In each case. He had no sooner answered to his name and taken his seat when the attorney for the de fendant notified the court that his client decided to plead guilty. Judge Wbeeler announced that he would pass sentence on the three' defendants Sat urday morning. Harry Caley, charged with the larceny of gold-rlmmed spectacles from tbe optical store of Captain Webb on Broadway, and William Maaon charged with breaking into and robbing Thomas Maloney's cigar fac tory will be tried today. Mason's com panion, E. O. Jones, Is one of the prisoners still missing from the county Jail. Tbe trial of these two defendants will conclude the criminal business for this term as tbe case against James N. Casady, Jr., charged with embezzlement, has been con tinued, as baa that against Attorney Henry G. Wernlmont. In the latter case tbe de murrer filed by the defendant to the In dictment has not yet been argued. Judge Wheeler yesterday set Wednesday for hearing the application of M. Woolfson and Groneweg ft Scboentgen that Wernl mont be required to pay over the money which it is alleged Wernlmont collected from the insurance company. Keep clean. Use Puck's Mechanic's soap. i N.

There are twenty-one breweries In Iowa at the present time, according to the cen sus returns, as compared with eighteen ten years ago. The capital In the inter vening time has Increased from $1,067,292 to $2,420,515, while the number of wage earners employed has Increased from 155 to 321, and the product has more than doubled. Ten years ago it was $786,000; In 1D00 It was $1,713,911. R. A. Helnnger of near Claflnda, a farmer, had become seriously tired of buy ing potatoes at the exorbitant price of $1.40 per bushel, and he made up his mind he would get his potatoes In the around as soon as the frost went out of Mother Earth this soring. The result of his ven ture was that on May 30 he had potatoes In plenty for his family and of enormous site, some of which measured 8V&X7 Inches ana were ripe. too. and he sold them on the market at $1.80 per bushel. He was getting it Dack at tne merchants with a vengeance. Sheriff McArthur of Davenport reports forty-two prisoners who are inmates of the county Jail at the present time. The usual prison menu, with the present nigh price of beef. Is a severe tax on the sheriff's purse, who, under his contract with Scott county, Is obliged to furnish meals at a ridiculously small cost to the county. Potatoes and meat have been altl tudinous In cost of late, and this Is the reason of the sparse margins being gath ered In by the sheriff. However, the pris oners have no complaint to make as to the quality of food furnished them. A recent addition to the treasury force In Washington Is Fred Plnney of Bur lington, who was for so long private sec retary to the late lamented Senator Gear. Mr. Plnney Is stenographer to Secretary Shaw. He will also be valuable on ac count of a wide acquaintance among public men, and particularly among Iowa men of prominence. He is a very bright young man with an undoubtedly assured future of success and honor. Another Iowa young man recently transferred to the treasury is M. L. I. Beall, who Is well known In Linn county. Mr. Beali has a position in the office of the comptroller of the currency, a place where he will be able to learn banking from the foundation up. E. R. Mason, clerk of the United States district court at Des Moines, is quoted In the Des Moines Capital as saying that the records will show that Judge Hubbard settled 90 per cent of the cases against the Northwestern which were filed in that court. It was Mr. Hubbard's policy and practice to settle cases outside of court whenever and wherever possible, and It is Mr. Mason's belief that he saved the com pany many thousands of dollars by this action. When a case came up it was never to him a question of the amount of damages, but as to the liability and Individual responsibility or contributory negligence. He practiced In the federal court at Des Moines for more than thirty years and had many hard cases, but by far the great majority he settled outside of court. Comments nf tbe Iowa. Press.
