Mr. Elizabeth Blackmer commenced pro

to restrain tbe motor company from placing

closer to tb curb In front of ber property
at north-want comer of these streets. A
bearing will bo had Saturday for the Is
suance of a temporary writ of Injunction.
Mrs. Blackmer also asks for $1,5000, claim
ing she hss been damaged this amount by
reason of the motor company placing its
tracks so close to the curb line In front of
ber property as to deny ber the use of the
street. At the meeting of the cfty council
tbe motor company asked for permission
to change Its tracks at this point in order
to provide a better turn and presented
two plans for shortening the width of the
ldowalk, so as to furnish more room. The
council in view of Mrs. Blackmcr's protest
deferred action. It develops, however, that
the motor company did not wait to secure
tbe prrmlr.r'on of the city, but went ahead
with the work of changing Us tracks.

mil m 17.i miles. This la a slight In
crease over tbe assessed valuation ot 1901,
which was $3.(80.
The Rock Island's low division has a
mileage of 4S.0I mile and thla year Is
assessed at $11,105 per mile a against

DE8 MOINES, Aug. 3. (Special. Th
troubles over th striking telephone opera
tors broke out In a new place this morning.
A new bank building Is being erected by th
Cltlsens' bank and Is nearly completed. Soma
time ago an effort was mad to have non
union workmen place a telephone In on of
the doctor's offices In th upper stories of
th building. A strike ot all th builders
was only averted by tbe owner agreeing that
under no circumstances should any non
union workmen be allowsd to do any work
In tb building. r
' Lust night workmen for th Iowa Tele
phone company went into th building and
placed three telephones, two in doctors' offi
ces and one In a grain commission office.
When the carpenter and other union work
men found this out today they all quit work.
The president ot the Trades assembly was
called In and the advisory committee coun
seled moderation. The owner of the build
ing disclaimed any knowledge of what bad
been done and agreed to have all th 'phones
taken out, and th workman went back to
their tasks.
Th barbers have Joined other trades and
have declared a boycott on tbe Iowa tele
phones and that they will not patronls any
merchant who has an Iowa 'phone in bis
place of business. The retail gTocers have
signed order for removal of their 'phones,
but the company bas not removed them
and bas secured an injunction preventing
anyone from removing them.
Tha insuianc men of the city came to
tb aid of th telephone company and signed
an sppeal to the city council not to have
th Iowa 'phone removed as It would In
crease the danger from fire, but the coun
cil has for a second time ordered all Iowa
'phoaes taken out. Negotiations are still
pending for a settlement by arbitration, but
nothing definite has been don.
