ELECTRIC LIGHT MAKES A MILD KICK Wllllns; to Pat In Conduits la Small Area, hmt Kotblnc Like to the Exteat Proposed by the City. The Western t'nlon and Postal Telegraph companies will refuse to place their wires In underground conduits and have so noti fied the special committee of the city coun cil. The Cltltens' Gas and Electric com pany objects to the ordinance as now drafted and will only consent to place Its wires under ground within a small area in the vicinity of Its substation. The Western Union Telegraph company officials, when called upon by Alderman Lovett, a member of the special commit tee, stated that tl.ey had for some time contemplated placing their main wires In one cable. This they had planned doing, they stated, loi.g before the underground conduit ordinance had been suggested or even seriously thought of In Council Bluffs. The company maintains sixty wires on Its main line and these will be placed in one cable. As to placing the wires In undei ground conduits, the company's officials said such a plan at this time was not feasible and they would not consent to It. If tho city insisted on ' passing such an ordinance the company would be compelled to appeal to the courts. It was pointed out to the committee that In noue of the western cities such as Omaha, Lincoln, St. Joseph and others had the company been called upon to place Its wires In under ground conduits, and they covld not see why Council Bluffs desired to be the pio neer In such a movement. The Postal Telegraph company has but recently completed the Installation ot new wires and has notified the committee that under no circumstances would It consent to being forced to place them under ground. The company told the committee that Its business in Council Bluffs has never paid the running expenses of Its office here, which for several years has been main tained solely for the convenience of the public. Alderman Lovett, the member of the spe cial committee who conferred with the officials of the two telegraph companies, expressed himself yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the committee that be was not In favor ot compelling the telegraph com panies to put their wires under ground Ft this time. He gave it as his opinion that If the Western Union was willing to place Its wires in a single cable as pro posed it should be permitted to do so and not be forced to place them In underground conduits. As to the Postal company, Mr. Lovett stated he was aware that the busi ness of this company in Council Bluffs had never been on a paying basis and he was opposed to placing any further hardships on it. Alderman Lovett, howfrer, said he fa vored compelling the electric light com pany to place Its wires under ground within the area prescribed by the proposed ordinance. The electric light company offi cials notified the committee that it was willing to place its wires from the sub station north to Indian creek and south as far as Fifth avenue under ground, but that this was all it would agree to do. On the north side ot Broadway the electric wires run east and west on the banks ot Indian creek and the company Insists the city would derive no advantage by having them under ground. The wires south of the substation run in the alleys and for this reason the company says It falls to seo why they shotild be put to the expense of placing them under ground. It was Inti mated that the company would appeal to the- courts before consenting to obey the ordinance now proposed. The committee will meet again Saturday afternoon to formulate its report, which will be submitted at the meeting of the city council Monday night. Taylor Ready to Sue. G. C. Taylor, former street supervisor, is preparing to bring suit against the city to recover his last month's salary, which has been held up on account ot an alleged shortage In bis accounts with the mu nicipality. The special committee, consist ing of Aldermen Huber and Tlnley, to which the matter was referred, has, Taylor contends, refused to entertain any reasona ble settlement, and be now proposes to have the court determine whether his ac counts were short as charged by the com mittee. For several days past Attorney Clem F. Kimball and County Superintendent Mc Manua, at the request et Taylor, have been checking over the books and accounts of the office of street supervisor during Tay lor's Incumbency, and it was stated yester day that some sensational disclosures might develop. After Taylor resigned his office the stubs of his receipt books snd other papers were taken In charge by the committee. It ' Is alleged by Taylor and bla attorney that a large number of these receipts, since they passed from Taylor's possession, have been changed, names have been altered and erasures and additions made for the pur pose of Implicating him. Taylor admits giving four receipts for poll tax to parties from which the city received nothing, but these, he statea, be offered to make good a long ttme ago. The alleged shortage charged against him by the committee, he Insists, is without foundation. Plumbing and beating. Blxby Son. Democratic School Board Ticket.

MONEY FOR THE FAMINE SUFFERERS First Contribution Reach the Gov ernor of Iowa (HtimiTB, Wants Buttery in the tte Uaard. (From a Staff Correspondents) DES MOINES, Feb. 28. (Special.) A telegram was received by the private sec retary of Governor Cummins here this morn ing stating that the governor and Mrs. Cummins left Washington last evening for Jacksonville, Fla., where they will remain several days. It is not known whether they will go farther, but It was the In tention of the governor to make a trip to Porto Rico or Cuba if that were possible at this time. The governor Is not expected back for at least two weeks. He will rest or travel in the south at will and all state matters have been left severely alone. The fact has been disclosed here that his trip to Washington was following a long per sonal letter he received direct from Presi dent Roosevelt, but whether that was an invitation for a conference or otherwise has not been disclosed. The political sig nificance of the governor's Journey east ward is not doubted here.

Chairman Jackson of the democratic slate committee has called the committees ' to meet in Des Moines tomorrow, and in his call he especially urges all the members to attend on account of Important business In hand, but does not state what this busi ness is. It is entirely too early to issue a call for a state convention, and so far as known there Is no business before the com mittee. A meeting at this time of the year has never been known before. It is surmised that the committee is asked to get together because of the approaching Jefferson day banquet, where an attempt will be made to outline the work of the party In this state for the year. ' Ottamwa Wanta a Battery. Ottumwa parties have written the adju tant general applying tor permission to form a company of light artillery for the Iowa National guard. The law authorizes the formation of such companies, but there are none in the state at this time. The Ottumwa people declare they can maintain a good battery 'there,-nd it will be a val uable addition to the guard Tft the state. The formation of this battery will give Ot. tumwa two companies and a regimental band, and next to Des Moines and Sioux City it will be the strongest In (uard force ot any city of the state. Walker Mnrder Case. The state produced Its star witness In the Walker murder trial today. Ada Ha'.le wood, a colored woman, gave the principal testimony. She declared she was close enough to the scene ot the murder of Isaac Finkelstein so that she heard the blows struck and saw the man who committed the deed. Her testimony was strong against James Walker as the man who did it. On cross-examination, she confessed she had not given her right name, and that she was married, but not living with her hus band and generally admitted her own bad character, so that her testimony was not accounted ot much force. The testimony for the defense was commenced this after noon. LACEY OBJECTS TO STATUE (Continued from First Page.) which enlistments should be made, to which the congressman replied: "No failure about it; purposely omitted. The form and method of enlistment Is not Involved In the organization, armament and discipline ot the organized mllita of the several states and terrtories. Such matters are proper subjects of legislation by the states and territories." "What about this provision authorizing the establishment of a liat of competent persons from which the president shall se lect officers for the reserve force, but mak ing no provision for Its enlistment?" "There is no force in the criticism what ever," repled Mr. Stark. "Section 23 of the militia law provides that for the pur pose of securing a list of persons specially qualified to hold commissions in any volun teer force which may hereafter be called for and organized under the authority ct congress other than the force composed of organized militia, the secretary of war shall convene boards to examine applicants for qualifications to command troops and for staff duties. The object of this pro vision was to have a list of persons certi fied and registered and subject to physical examination at any time to constitute an eligible class 'for commissions in any vol unteer force hereafter called for and or ganized under the authority ot congress other than the force compoaed of organized militia. It was never Intended that they should have command. Object of the Law. "The object of the enactment was to avoid a condition that waa present at the breaking out of the Spanish-American war, when a most responsible duty was placed upsn the president of the United States, The volunteer forces must be 'officered and the president, by reason of an omission to provide an eligible class for commission, was compelled to appoint officers largely upon recommendations. It amoug those of ficers It turned out that there were some defective in military training, neither good fighting men, nor with sufficient skill and discretion to care for the men when in camp, and with no knowledge whatever o( military law, put some ot the blame on congress for Its failure to provide an eligi ble class. Don't put it all upon the presi dent snd generals who were in command. Section 23 of the militia law is wise and patriotic, and reflects honor upon the con gress that passed the bill, and the presi dent who approved the measure. There Is another provision In section 23 that is hon est and square; that is, If a volunteer force should hereafter be called for, such ap pointments from the eligible clsss shall be distributed proportionately, as nearly as msy be, among the various states contrlb , atlng such volunteer fores. That enables the president to say to the friends of those who are In the eligible class who press him for appointment, 'your state has already received Its proportionate share.' "Section 24 of the same act provides how the volunteer forces shall be organized; so that if some foreign nation should sud denly make war on the United States, con gress could at once authorize and the pres ident could Issue his proclamation and requisition for volunteers. The law is al ready upon the statute book ss to how tt.ey shall be organized, an eligible class Is pro vided from which to appoint officers for that volunteer force, and all Is ready with out waiting for congress to provide for their organization and permitting the president to discharge the duties of his great office Instead of listening to the claims of some persons to have some favorite appointed as n officer In said force. Under the militia law as it now obtains, in such an emer gency In a few hours, the organized militia would be moving to designated points with the latest and best of arms and all neces sary equipment of every kind, ready for any duty to sustain the flag. "I sincerely hope that at an early day provision will be made for a good attend ance under section 23, at thn military schools and colleges of the United States, other than at West Point, for study and Instruction In military science. "Permit me to suggest, not in any of fensive sense, that it would be well for the country If the press would refrain from construing the militia law until the judge advocate general of the army haa officially construed the same." Mrs. Andrews Entertains. , Mrs. W. E. Andrews of Hastings, Neb., wife of the auditor for the Treasury de partment, gave a beautifully appointed tea yesterday in honor of the members of the Board of Lady Managers of the St. Louis Purchase exposition, who are In Washing ton in attendance upon the Daughters ot the American Revolution.
