TITF, OMATTA DAILY PEE: FTUDAY, AfRIL 10, 1H03. CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA. COUNCIL BLUFFS. AD TAX FlCm IP AGAIN Colonel BaW Bayi Ea Will Exsend County Fundi Just Whars He Plna?. CHAPTER THREE IN BAR DOCKET CONTEST iTMi t'aantiasj t'entipaay Aeke Esemp-tlo-a from Taaatlem for Three . Years Vet Far a tha Coualy la Coaeeraed. Tbe annual; controversy, between the city and the county eupervlaors over the e Tendlture or the pbrtlon of the county road tun4 levied within the city Mmlte la again to the fore. When the certified copy of the reaolutlon adopted by the city council at tti mention Monday nlgbt directing the county aupervisors to expend thla portion of the road fund within the city llmlta un der the direction of the committee on atreeta and alleya waa brought up for con aideratlon It waa turned over by the other membera to Colonel W. F. Baker, the au penrlaor from Council Bluffa. Colonel Baker declared with considerable emphaela that nnder no clrcumatancea would he recognize the right of the city to' direct the expenditure of the fund, aa Implied In the reaolutlon. Before Colonel Baker'a advent on the county board the city council and the su pervlaora aucceeded In effecting a com promise in the matter by which part of the fund collected within the city waa turned over to the committee on atreeta and al leya and the other part expended by the aupervlaora wherever It desired. Colonel Baker, however, declined to enter Into any auch arrangement and the result haa been a conatant controveray between the board and the city council. The atate law says that the portion of the county. road fund ralaed from the levy within the city llmlta hall be expended under the "direction" of the city council. Colonel Baker, how ever, contenda that thla only glvea to the city council the right to object to any alienation of the fund to other parte of tha county, but doea not give It the right to dictate a to what atreets or In what way . thai money shall be expended. ' The queatlon haa once before been taken Into the courts, with the result that the court held that the city council had the right to designate on what atreeta In the city llmlta thla portion of the county road ahould be expended and unless - Colonel Baker recedea from the position whlch.be asserted at the meeting of the board yes terday he would take in the matter, further litigation may be looked for. . i ?he board yesterday decided to establish tha Fenaler ditch In Rockford township aa petloned for and appointed Thorn- Tos tevln aa engineer In charge. The ditch, it la estimated, will cost about $3,000 and la only a little over two miles In length.

The Globe Publish ing company,- publisher of the Avoca Tribune, filed a bill for $34.85 for the print ing of tha docket a-nd tha board ordered It laid on Jha table : w , t The.-anpllcation of. the recently Incor porated Avoca Canning company to be ex empt from county and school taxea for the next three yeare aa an Inducement ' for erecting the canning plant' In that town waa referred to the county attorney.

TELEPHONE ORDINANCE READY Several Aldermen Are Not Batlsned with It In Ita Present Form. City Solicitor Snyder haa drafted the or dinance for an Independent telephone fran chise, but It wss stated yesterday by sev eral of the aldermen that It did not meet with their approval In many respects. It was also stated that It was-far from satis factory to the companlea aeeklng auch a franchise. The ordinance provides for a ' franchise for twenty-five years, this being the term asked for by all three companies in their ordinances, it is drafted with the inten tion of providing solely tor a toll tele phone system, but some of the aldermen who have examined the ordinance are of the opinion that In its present wording It can be construed to provide for a general telephone system with an exchange Instead of merely a central atatlon. Aa the meas ure now reada It provides for "toll and terminal stations," whereas It la claimed that It ahould provide only for "terminal toll atatlons," thus precluding any possi bility of the company securing the fran chise engaging In a regular local telephone business with an exchange, against which the apecial committee having the drafting of the ordinance In charge waa anxioua to guard. One of the aectiona of the ordinance provides that there shall be not less than twenty-five toll atationa and public pay atatlona, together with a Central office, but does not limit the maximum number. Some of the aldermen are of the opinion that the number of auch toll stations should ba limited. The city la given the right to regulate rentala within the city and thla provision la said to be objectionable to the com panlea seeking the franchise. The ordinance prohibits the assigning, leasing or transferring of the franchise by the company until notice of aame haa been filed with the city clerk and approved by the city council. i Council Bluffs subscribers are to have free service within a radius of ten miles of Council Bluffs and tolls to non-subscribers within the ten-mile limit are not to exceed 10 centa for a aervlce of five minutes. The maximum rate for a telephone ahall not exceed $36 a year and all tolls col lected from non-subr bribers are to be cred ited against this annual charge. The . apecial committee consisting of Aldermen Lovett, Tlnley and Casper, Mayor Morgan and City Solicitor Snyder, expects to meet Saturday, when the ordinance will probably be revised before It la submitted to the committee of the whole for Its approval.

KNOTTY PROBLEM FOR JUDGE Sopranie Cotfrt Wreetlai wit i Question of Prttumption of Guilt of Tbem. TAKES CASH TO SQUARE THE PROMISE Baperlatendeat of Hospital Says Farmers In Poaao Shot Fleeing Inebriates Only When At tacked' by Them. (From a Staff Correspondent.) .DES MOINES. April . (Special.) The supreme court today in two criminal cases indicated that the Justices have been wres tling with the problem of presumptive guilt where stolen goods are found In pos session of an accused person .soon after a larceny haa been committed. It ia the same question as that on which the attorney gen eral of the atate asked and secured a le hearing, at the last term, which rehearing haa not yet been held. In the case against John Williams, who was convicted In Dea Molnea, there waa reversal because the In structions of Judge McHenry on the trial of tha case did not atate whether the break ing and entering waa for the purpose of committing a public offense, and also it was not made clear that "only when the breaking and entering and the larceny are committed at the aame time and by the aame person, in other words, that the goods are stolen by means of the breaking and entering, that any effect ia to be given the recent possession ot stolen goods." In the caae ot George Swift, who waa convicted of breaking and entering a beer warehouse at Avoca, the aame subject waa considered more In detail. "It is sufficient to ,say." atatea the aupreme court, "that the court Is unequivocally committed to the position that when It appeara that certain gooda have been atolen from a building .by break ing and entering the proof of the aubse quent possession, without reasonable ex planation that the gooda were obtained oth erwise than In the commission of, the crime of breaking and entering, will support a conviction for the latter crime. In some of the cases which we have heretofore con sidered objection haa been taken, to the use la such connection of language Indicating that proof of the aubsequent possession gives rise to the presumption ot guilt which it is for the defendant to overcome; ,but such objection Is not tenable to the Instruc tions given In this caae, by which the Jury were told that the 'fact of auch possession, It unexplained, is sufficient to warrant tho conclusion that the person having auch pos sesion is the person who broke and entered the building,' unless the evidence showing such possession leaves a reasonable doubt whether the defendant may, not have come Into possession ot the gooda otherwise than by breaking and entering." The Williams case waa reversed and the Swift cbbo af firmed. Judge, Bishop wrote a decision that reads like a chapter from a novel ia the case of Anjulla Williams against Peter Fabn, from Shelby county, a breach of promise case where the plaintiff got a Judgment for $1,600. Wllllama,waa 74 years old, widower and wealthy, lived at Earllng; Anjulla waa 45 and deaf and dumb. Williams admitted the love-making, the propoaal and the ef fort to get married. In fact ho got a, license and went to a Catholic priest to have tha ceremony perforated The clergyman re fused; nay, more, he called Peter an old fool, and Anjulla something worse, and the two went away disappointed. Then Peter's friends talked and aald the woman Of bis choice waa not only deaf and dumb, but that she waa very bad and not suited to, be bis wife. He backed out and never tried to get married again. In defense he pleaded that his refusal waa due to ,the discovery that Anjulla had not lived aa she should and further that he had aettled with her. But these questions were submitted to tho Jury and the court decides that Peter bad known what he was doing la tha first rlace and had no right to make such a pica. In the federal court today Howard Hedrlck waa appointed receiver for the Iowa Tea and Coffee company of Marshall town, which la In procesa of liquidation. The creditors asked for a receiver pending tha bankruptcy proceedings. Report oa Escape ot Inebriates. The official report of Superintendent Crumpacker of the atate hospital at Inde pendence on the escape of sixteen Inebri ates haa been received by tha atate board. He atatea that the squad of in ebriates was in charge of two attendants, one of them being a young man who baa only been with the Institution a short time. When they became rebellious one turned back with the men who did' not want to run away and the other followel the fleeing Inebriates. Two farmers were called In to assist and they had revolvers. Only when attacked by the Inebriates did they do any shooting at them, and aa the result of this two of the Inebriates were wounded slightly. Members ot the state board point out that the Incident meana that the atate must make nome bet er pro vision for caring for the Inebriates. Prat. Pike Oat oa Ball. Prof. 'Pike, the musician, secured ball today and waa released from Jail, at the aame time taking a ctange to another court. He declares that he will bring ault for heavy damages against Selgel for ille gal arrest and detention, as he wss not ac cused of anything tnat constitutes a crime In thla atate. The young woman in the case, who haa refused to marry Pike, la taking no part in the caae now and alatea that she has no Interest in it. Cora Prise Wli Ralae Coat of BalldlagT. AMES. Ia., April I.

MERGER IS ENJOINED (Continued from First Page,) defeat the will of the national legislature, aa expressed In a law relating to Interstate trade and commerce, over which congress has absolute control. Presumptively, at least, no charter granted by a atate la to have that effect or be uaed for auch a pur pose, and In thi present Instance It Is clear that the stale of New Jersey did not Intend to grant a charter under cover of which an object denounced by congress aa unlawful, namely, a combination with the power to restrain Interstate commerce might be formed and maintained because the enabling act under which the securi ties company wss organised expressly de clares that three or more persons may avail themseivee of the provisions of the act and become a "corporation for any lawful pur pose." Laws of Slew Jersey. Laws of New Jersey, 18S9, psge 473. This language Is not merely perfunctory; It means obviously thut whatever powers the incorporations saw fit to assume, they must hold for the accomplishment of lawful ob jects. The words In question operate, therefore, as a limitation upon all the pow ers enumerated In the articles of associa tion which are filed by the promoters of the securities company, so that, however extensive and comprehensive these powers may seem to be. the atate of New Jersey has said, you shall not exercise them so as to set at defiance a"V statute lawfully enacted by the congress of the United States, or any statute lawfully enacted by any atate wherein you aee fit to exercise your powers. Tha contention that whatever restraint upon Interstate commerce there may be Is Indirect and remote, and therefore not to ba forbidden by congress, la not found to be well austalned. The contention that If tho existing com bination la In violation of ta anti-trust act then that aot unduly restrlcta the rights of the Individual to make contracts and la Invalid, ia declared to be entitled to little consideration. Provision of the Constttatlon. The court says: The provision of the constitution doea not, as we believe, exclude congress from legis lating with regard to contracts of the above nature, while in (he exercise of Its consti tutional right to regulate commerce among the states. On the contrary, wo think the provlekon regarding the liberty of the citi zens Is to some extent limited by the com merce clauce of the constitution, and that the power ot congress to regulate Inter state commerce comprises the right to en act a law prohibiting the citizen from en tering Into those private Contracts which directly and substantially, snd not mi rely Indirectly, remotely, incidentally and col laterally regulate to a greater or leaa de gree the commerce among the rtates. The further contention that the antl-trut law was not. Intended for such combina tions, and that these combtnatlona had been consummated before the bill waa filed, and was in reality In aid of commerce and not to restrain It, are held to be clearly un tenable as to the first point, and that the second point ta a novel, not to say absurd, interpretation of the anti-trust act, and as to the last contention, it Is to be possible, but not a matter for decision of the court. The decree la' then entered, aa already given above. Circuit Judges Caldwell, San born, Thayer and Van Devantar heard tha caae and all concurred In the opinion, which waa written by Judge Thayer and filed in the United States circuit court ot appeala In thla' city. Notice waa atronce given of an appeal to the United States supreme court. The defendants are the Northern Securi ties, the Crat Northern, Northern Pacific Railroad comMOI. James J. Hill, William P. Clough, D. "Willis James, Norrls Ken nedy, Robfrt. Bacon. J. P. Morgan, O. D. Baker and Daniel Lamdnt. Says Order ia Inconsistent. NEW YORK, April 9. One of the, leading counsel In tho. Northern Securities caae aald: 1 As yet this Is an undigested opinion, but from the hasty- glance I have given it I call your attention to the closing phrase of the Judge's order, which practically nulli fies the whole effect of the decision. It provides that the Northern Securities com pany may transfer and aaaign the stick of the Northern Pacific and Great N rth ern roads, now held by it, to such person or persons rs are now the ho'ders snd owners of Its stock originally issued In ex change for the stock of and companies. Thla right of transfer Is vital and it reemi to me renders negatory .he main conclu sion of the court. However, It Is too early to say much. J. P. Morgan said: Until I fee tha full text of the decision I shall not care to express an opinion on It. This much Is certain, however, It will not rest where It Is. The question of the right of two or mire railroads to be operated by a holding com pany will be taken to the United States au preme court. Instead of looking upon the decision of the court today as a blow to railroad enterprise I should say that the revtree Is the case. Capital all over the country Is anxious to know its rights in the matter of railroad construction and operation. Railroad men want to know where they stand. The decision today Is Just one step closer to a decision from the United Bta'.es eu- fireme court, which shall be final, for even t the Northern Securities had won today tho government would probably have ap pea led. The question waa of aucji Importance tha1: an appeal was assured, no matter who won These facts are plain. Both railroads hell by the Northern Securities company still exist and are doing a good but in. -re. When railroad men kno- exactlv how the law Is to be Interpreted they will prob ably find good ways to a?e that their prop erties ara operated economically and profitably. A conference ot leading financiers waa held thla afternoon in tha office of J. P. Morgan & Co. to discuss the details of the decision and Ita .bearing upon railroad properties la the future. An effort waa made to aee J. J. Hill, but he kept himself in seclusion and denied himself to callers. President J. J. Hill of the Northern Se curitiea company went to bis office this afternoon, where he waa In conference with W. P. Clough. general counaal and first vice president of the company. General Clou'gh took an active part In arranging the legal preliminaries of the company, and also In the preparations ot the arguments of the company'a cases before the court. Mr. Clough said he baa received only the moat meager and unsatisfactory advices from 8l. Paul, and that he could arrlv at no clear understsndlng of the matter until he had learned the full text of tha de cision. He declared, however, that tha cose would be carried to tha court of last resort. Ex-Judge William H. Morris, who la on ot the dominant factors ot the Rock Island company. Is quoted as aaylng: "The de cision in the Northern Securltlea case will in no way affect the Rock Island-'Frlsco deal. They are not connecting linea and the case is In no way analagoua."
