EFFORT TO KEEP OFFICES
Inquiry aa to Whether Motor Company Eat
Violated Its Charter.
KEEPS ONLY ONE OFFICIAL IN THE CITY
Commercial C'Inb Takes Ip Qneatloa
e( Removal of the General Offices
to Omaha and Will Make
a Fight.
Can the street railway system of Council
Bluffs be conducted from Omaha while the
term of the charter under which tho
motor company It operating provides that
Its principal offices shall be maintained In
this city? Is a question which the Commer
cial club has decided to look Into.
Since the street car system of this city
was absorbed by the Omaha company the
offlcea of the Council Bluffs company have
been, to all Intents and purposes, trans
ferred r cross the rlvsr, until the only offi
cial of the company now holding office In
Council Bluffs is W. B. Tarklngton, the
superintendent.
The offices of the company In this city
have been practically abandoned and the
clerks transferred to Omaha. The former
offices of the company at Twenty-eighth
street and Avenue A are now used as
lounging rooms for the employes of ths
system.
The charter of the Omaha, Council Bluffs
& Suburban Railway company, under which
the motor company Is presumed to operate
In Council Bluffs, provides that the princi
pal offices of the company shall be main
tained In this city and that at least three
members of the directory and one-half of
the general officers shall be citizens and
residents of Council Bluffs. The new com
pany, In assuming control of the street cat
system of this city, is said to have violated
this provision by transferring the general
offices to Omaha.
The Commercial club has taken the mat
ter In band and unless some satisfactory
arrangement la reached with the Omaha
corporation now controlling the street rail
way system of this city, action, It Is said,
will be brought In the courts to have the
franchise of the Council Bluffs part of the
system of street railways declared null and
void.

The defense of Mrs. Ella McDanlels and
Bort Llvlx, now in the county Jail charged
with the murder of the former's husband,
Barney McDanlels, was outlined by Hon.
Lew Genung, attorney for the defendants,
while in the city yesterday. The defense
will be! that McDanlels committed suicide
by not only cutting his throat, but by also
taking strychnine. This Is In line with tne
story told by the accused at the time of the
Inquest.
Mr. Oenung stated that be expects to
prove not only by the evidence of the ac
cused, but also by the testimony of the two
ona of Mrs. McDanlels, that on the morn
ing of the tragedy McDanlels before break
fast drank poison and was taken violently
lck. The story of the defense will bo that
McDanlels after supposedly attending to his
choree returned to the house from the barn
and lay down on the bed and was taken
violently s'ek. When his wife attempted
to relieve him he said that It was useless
trying to do anything for him or to send
for a doctor, as he Intended to die and had
taken strychnine. Further, that when Mrs.
McDanlels left the room at the request of
her husband to secure something be jumped
from the bed and rushed from the house
with the blood pouring from a raping
wound In bis throat.
Mr. Genung eatd that there was no evi
dence to substantiate the statement of Al
Smith that he heard McDanlels call out aa
he ran from the house, and further that
be expects to prove that McDanlels himself
purchased the poison at a drug store In
Henderson.
No application has been made as yet by
Mr. Genung for the calling of a special
grand Jury and County Attorney Klllpack
stated yesterday that as far as he knew
nothing would be done In the. case until
the regular aeSaion In April. Both Mrs.
McDanlels and Llvlx since their confine
ment In the county Jail here have declined
to discuss the charge against them.

INSURANCE COMPANIES PAYING UP
Governor C'nmmlns I rarea President
Roosevelt to Islt Iowa on Oc
casion of His Trip
to St. Loo Is.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Feb. 2'. (Spoclal.) The
State Board of Control Is having a great
deal of difficulty at tne stste hospitals over
the conduct of some of those who have
been sent to the dipsomania wards. Chair
man Cownle of the hoard has Just made
some Investigations Into various accusa
tions made of cruelty and rough treatment
by inmates of the dipsomania wards, and
especially one who was sent to the Mount
Pleasant hospital as an inebriate from Kos
suth courty. This man, J. A. Marston, has
been sending letters to the newspapers
msklng the gravest accusations against the
management at Mt. Pleasant, and has writ
ten the governor and the Judge who sent
him to the hospital. The Investigation dis
closed merely that t,he Inmate was mad and
had not fully recovered from the effects of
the Inebriate condition In which he had
been found, and he finally admitted he was
not telling the truth about the hospital.
The board also finds that especially at
Cherokee and Independence the insane pa
tients are being literally crowded out of
the hospitals by reason of the large number
of Inebriates who are being committed to
the hospitals. To guard against this the
state will have to make substantial addi
tions to these hospitals within the next two
years. The addition of the dipsomaniacs
was something not contemplated when the
hospitals were built. The state Is now car
ing for over 200 Inebriates at the hospitals,
and they are morn trouble to the state than
all the Insane.
Paying Insnrance Taxes,
The state auditor today received a check
for $25,D22.74 from the Northwestern Mu
tual Life Insurance company of Milwaukee
as Its payment of taxes to the state on
business done lait year. The company pays
2 per cent of Its gross receipts from Iowa
sources during the year, and this payment
Indicates that the company received over
$1,000,000 from the state last year. The
next largest payment is that of the New
York Life Insurance Company for $22,341.04.
The state will receive a much larger sum
from the insurance taxes this year than
ever before.
Fatal Accident I'ndcr Car.
At Valley Junction this morning Thomas
Connelly fell beneath a train on the Rpck
Island railroad and received Injuries which
resulted in his death in three hour at the
Methodist hospital.- He was engaged In
cutting-off cars or making a coupling and
slipped on the Ice so that he fell between
the cars and was crushed. He was 28 yeara
old and leaves a wife and three children.
Seeks I'rcsence of Hoosevelt.
It Is learned that while Governor Cum
mins was In Washington he especially
urged President! Roosevelt to resume his
western trip which was abruptly broken
off last fall by an accident which com
pelled the president to go to a hospital.
At that time -Secretary Cortelyou tele
graphed the governor practically promis
ing him that the president would come
west in the spring and keep his appoint
ments In Iowa and other Btates. Governor
Cummins Is very anxious that the president
shall do this and has urged that he come
at the same time he comes west to attend
the special exercises at the St. Louis ex
position. Have Invited Hearst and Others.
A conference of democrats was held
here as tbe result of the suggestion of
General Weaver as to broadening the scope
of the conference on April 2, and the sug
gestion of Charles E. Russell, as to Wil
liam R. Hearst, some changes have been
made In the program. Hearst has been
formally Invited to attend the banquet and
It Is known this was at the suggestion of
his friends. He wilt be expected to speak.
Judge Van Wagenen Is to be present and
speak on "Government Ownership of Rail
roads." Charles A. Walsh, secretary of
the democratic national committee. Is to
speak on "The Kansas City Platform," and
there will be some others. This Is re
garded as clinching the movement for
Hearst for president and makes It reason
ably certain Van Wagenen will be a can
didate for governor.
No Pharmacy Appointment.
There has been no change In the situation
with regard to pharmacy commissioner
since Governor Cummins left for the east.
It was understood when he went away that
the friends of the different candidates
would make some effort to clear up the sit
uation so that It would be easnr to decide.
Conferences have been held at various
places tbe past week looking to compromise
snd It Is understood that strong efforts
have been made to induce this or that can
didate to pull out In favor of harmony. The
backers of W. L. Leland held a conference
In Sioux City to plan for his bticress. It has
been repeatedly announced that both Le
land and Russell are entirely out of the
rare, but it Is known certainly here, and
has been all along. 'that neither one hrs
considered tbe possibility cf abandoning the
fight under fire. Leland, Kelts and Russell
are still In the race and their friends are
active nnd earnest.

AMENDS TEMPERANCE BILL
Senate Committee t'lianaes It so
Friends Hardly Recosolse
the Measure.
PIERRE. 8. D., Feb. 24. (Special Tele
gram.) The house held a morning session
today and the first move was on the part
of tbe friends of special appropriation
bills to postpone action for a few days
longer, the Aberdeen Normal bill and the
St. Louis fair bill being on the list. Among
the principal house bills presented were:
By Hayes, proiding for a state revenue
commission of three; by Russell, requiring
gas companies to furnish patron with full
Instructions for reading meters; by Young,
granting extra compensation to county as
sessors In large counties; by Bromley, to
authorise tbe purchase of land at the Red
field Hospltsl for the Insane.
The house pissed senste bi'.ls providing
for town Jails, licensing of biUlsrd rooms
and bowling alleys, granting townships
right of control of water from public ar
tesian wells, providing for annexation of
territory to independent school districts,
providing an appropriation of $5,000 for a
silver service for tbe ship "South Dakota,"
to appropriate money for criminal prosecu
tions in Stanley county.
Tbe senate oil Inspection bill was tsken
up and several amendments were offered
by Gross, the principal onss being to raise
tbe flash test from 105 to 110 slid strik
ing out the portion of the bill which alms
to regulata the color of oil.' Madison ami
Krlbs opposed any changes In the bill, as
It was csrefully drawn and should go
through Just as It passed the senate, while
Brown of Sanborn looked upon the amend
ments with suspicion and wanted it to go
back to the committee before any changes
were made. Porter was orposed tc the
whole bill on account of Its attempting too
much and was likely to fall down in. some
of Its provisions. On motion of Longstaff
the bill went bsck to the committee for
further consideration. The bill will be re
ported Mck tomorrow without change and
likely will pass.
Carroll offered a general apportionment
bill to rover tee failure of tbe legislature
of two years ago to act, and, on motion of
Goddard, It was Indefinitely postponed as
soon as It received Its first reading.
The boundary committee bill came up
on special order and was supported by
Lawson, Bromley and Hutchinson of
Beadle and opposed by Nelson, who desired
to amend to fix the compensation cf com
missioners at 18 per day Instead of (10,
but the bill was passed as presented. The
senate bill fixing ferry regulations met
with eome opposition and finally -vent ba:k
to, the committee, and the house bills to
prevent over Insurance of property and to
provide for Jailers in all counties were
killed, and bills passed providing a method
of cnallenge and fixing penalties for soli
citation of place on Juries.
In the senate the temperance bill was
reported back to tbe Judiciary committee
without recommendation, after extensive
amendments hsd been added, which prac
tically destroyed the original bill.
The senate passed house bills providing
for a supply of stone for the state capltol
from the penitentiary quarries, making
the poll list the basis on which to esti
mate population for pay of county officers,
for uniform first and second-grade teach
ers' certificates, to pay Judgment held by
Julian Bennett, to appropriate 800 to the
secretary of the State Historical society,
and fixing compensation of State Board of
Agriculture. The senate passed senate
bills establishing a scale of salaries for
county Judges, providing for two Justices
of the peace In Incorporated towns, and
the military code.
The senate is holding back special ap
propriations until action hss been taken
on the anti-compact bill which was sent
