SHERIFF'S RACE WITH COLORADO JUSTICE Conalns Gets His Men on Train Jnst Ahead of Habeas Corpus Papers and Manages to Elade Farther Pursuit. After making a hard fight to prevent their extradition. Leon Lotler and Ed Moore, under Indictment on a charge of conspiring to defraud Charles Gregory and William Barker of this city out of io.000 on an alleged fake' foot race In Webb City, arrived In Council Bluffs yesterday from Denver, Colo., In the custody of Sheriff Cousins, and were at once placed In the county Jail. Later In the day Moore se cured his release on a $2,000 bond fur nished by his sister, Miss Anna Moore, Daniel Carrigg and Attorney A. W, Ask wlth. Lozler and Moore reported to every means possible to avoid extradition and Sheriff Couains only succeeded In getting them away from Denver a few minutes ahead of officers armed with habeas cor pus papers. The train bad barely cleared the platform before the officers reached the depot with the papers to serve on Sheriff Cousins. Lozler and Moore, Imme diately on their arrest In Denver at the Instigation of the authorities here, se cured the services of attorneys, one of whom was the county attorney of Arapa hoe county, and when Sheriff Cousins reached there with the requisition papers for the two men he found It necessary to also employ counsel. The arrival of Mr. Barker In Denver with a bench warrant In answer to a telegram from Sheriff Couaina helped matters, and at the hearing before Governor Orman Wednesday afternoon the requisition was granted and Sheriff Cousins given a warrant for the two pris oners. Aa soon as he secured (he warrant Sheriff Cousins lost no time in getting his hands oa his men. He hastened to the office of the Denver sheriff and handed him the warrant. Just as the sheriff was turning over tho two prisoners to Cousins a telephone message from their attorney to the Denver sheriff asked him, to delay surrendering the men, as habeas corpus proceedings had been begun. The Denver sheriff replied that the message had come too late, as the men were then In the cua- tody of the Iowa sheriff. Realizing that I no time was to be lost if he expected to get out ot Denver with his men. 8berlff Cousins secured a carriage, hustled Lo iter and Moore Into It and made a dash for the depot, which he reached just three minutes ahead of the train starting. Sheriff Couains said yesterday that the three min utes while waiting for the train to start seemed to him like three hours, as he ex pected every second to see the officers with the habeas corpus papers ahow up. and he aa k. , v. ...u .., . . Ali not nreathe easily until after the train had crossed the Nebraska line. At the time the Indictment was returned by the grand Jury Judge Macy fixed the bonds of Loiter and Moore at $2,000. Yes terday afternoon County Attorney Kill pack filed a motion to have - thla amount in creased, alleging that If not the defend ants would not be present when the case would be called and the enda of Justice would be defeated thereby. As Judge Green had gone to Red Oak early in the afternoon the motion could not be submit ted yesterday, and during the afternoon Moore succeeded in furniahlne- the 19 noo bond and was released from the county ' jail Call It a Conspiracy. The majority of the members of the city council do not place any credence In the chargea of fraud brough against former Street Commisaloner Taylor by Aldermen Huber and Tinley. the i-ommlttee appointed to Investigate hla books and accounts. Mayor Morgan stated openly yesterday that In his opinion the report of the com mittee was but part of a conspiracy on the part of Alderman Huber to injure Taylor. Mr. Morgan stated further that It was no secret that Alderman Huber bad declared on more then one occasion "that he would ! get even with Taylor and would not rest until he had downed him." This statement is alleged to have been made by Huber at the time be had trouble with Taylor and sought to have him removed from tho office of atreet commissioner in order that the place might be given to 8. Avery. Former 8treet Commissioner Taylor Is a republican and Alderman Huber la a dem ocrat and it is said that politics enters Into the trouble between them. When Alderman Huber was chairman of the atreets and alleys committee last year he bad troublo with John M. Hardin, the ; then street commissioner, and kept after mm until be secured his resignation. While Aldermen Huber and Tinley may take their charges against Tavlor before the Complete Relaying Gaa Mala. The Cltlsens Gas and Electrle company completed yesterday the relaying ot a gaa main on North Main atreet which had been out of aervlce for twenty yeara. During a heavy flood In Indian creek the bridge on North Main street waa aweot awav and with It a section of the gaa main which rrosaed the creak under the bridge. The broken enda of the mala were sealed at that time and were never re-connected until the company a few daya ago decided to relay the main. The pipe haa been carried acroas the creek on top of the bridge Inatead of under It as before. In relaying the main the gas company was obliged to take up considerable of the paving on North Main atreet, and this was found to be a difficult task. The street la paved with home-made brick with cement filler. "Tha "flllr" hl Mnn . l. fu. I . . - wvik , effectively that the workmen found it al most Impossible to take the brick up with out breaking them and thla necessitated tho use ot a large quantity of new brick in re laying the pavement, which waa completed yesterday afternoon, the work being done by regular paving men In the employ of Contractor Wlckham. Street Sweeper lu Commission. The city council met yesterday afternoon and Inspected the aewer recently laid on Third atreet between High School and Fifth avenuea. and the grading of the alley be tween Third street and Clark avenue. The assessment schedules prepared by the city engineer for these Improvementa were adopted. Alderman Casper's street sweeper, which haa reposed tor two yeara In the city junk pile, haa been provided with a aew broom and put In commission again. U waa trot- ted out yesterday afternoon for the edifica tion of the aldermen and put through a few turna on Bryant street. Last night the sweeper, accompanied by the usual cloud of dust, made Its appearance on Broad way. Heretofore the fault has been that the dirt swept up by the machine was not hauled away, but Street Commissioner Oulttar stated yesterday that this nuisance would be remedied under his management and that sufficient teams would be employed to haul the dirt away each morning after the night work of the sweeper. Poe Sent to Hospital. James H. Poe, the melancholy young man who was taken in charge by the po lice Wednesday after he had tried to se cure strychnine at three different stores with the Intent, aa he admitted, of ending his life, was committed to St. Bernard's hosplstal for observation yesterday by the commissioners for the Insane. To the commissioners Poe told a different story to that recited to the police. He said that his home was formerly near Benton, Ark., but that for some time he had been working with a construction gang on the Northwestern near Carroll, la. Letters In his poasesalon corroborate this last statement. Hie despondency, be said, was due to a quarrel with his sweetheart In Omaha. When ho visited her Tuesday she Insisted on going to a dance at one of the resorts. He protested, but in vain, crossed over to Council Bluffs and after spending the night brooding over bis supposed troubles decided to end his life. He told the commissioners that he had gotten over the suicidal Idea. The police ! have not yet heard from the autboritlea I at Creston, whether Poe is the man wanted I there to answer a charge of highway rob bery. Two Games on Saturday.

President Roose velt today began the transaction of business In the new executive offices adjoining the White Houae. A few finishing touches still remain to be put upon the building, but the Interior Is practically completed and the office force has been Installed. The new office building Itself Is unpre tentious. It Is one story, of brick, painted white and has three Roman Doric columns at the entrance. In a general way the severe clasalo style ot the White House has been followed. Within the space has been divided strictly with a view of the transaction of business. The entrsnce opens Into a re ception room lighted from above by a glass dome. Directly behind this Is the secretary's room. The president's room la in the southeast corner. It overlooks the White House lot and commands a fine view of Arlington and the broad Potomac.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE Report Submitted to State Department Probably Not Favorable to United States. . WASHINGTON, Nov. . Lieutenant George T. Emmons, United States navy, retired, haa made to the secretary of state hla report upon the reaults ot hla Investi gation along the Alaskan boundary ot certain stories which have found frequent repetition In late yeara to the effect that monuments have been discovered, mark ing the real boundary line between Alaska and the British Northwest Territory at a point many more leagues from the sea than tbe British have been willing to ad mit. Lieutenant Emmons waa selected for tbo work of Inquiry because he was thoroughly familiar with tbe country In which the supposed boundary atones exist. He spent much of tbe last summer In tbe region and now has reached a conclusion. Tbe State department at this time will not make the report public. The inquiry Is regarded as but one chapter In a long series of Investigations which have been going on tor the last ten years under the auspices of the State department. It la said that the department has Investigated promptly every rumor bearing on tbe ex istence of boundary monuments, which preesnted tbe least appearance ot plausi bility. Lieutenant Emmona declares that ho has not breathed a word ot the nature of tie conclusions to anyone except the officials here in Washington. Still, it is regarded as a fair conjecture that he has not found the atones that exist to be bound ary monumenta, else the State department would regard as Incumbent upon it to take steps to bring that fact to the attention of the British government, with a view In securing a rectification of the present temporary boundary. Instead of doing thla, tbe report has been referred to ex-Secretary John W. Foster and Senator Fairbanks for their Information. They are memebrs of tho high joint commission, which was charged with the settlement of the Alaakan bound ary queatlon, among many other Important matters.
