DEFEAT TELEPHONF ORDINANCE
Oaly Three Aldermen Vote for the
Meaeare oa Plaal
Paasaae.

Yl'.t W M . . . .
..-.ru iowb inaepenasnt Telephone. Tel
egrsph A Terminal company waa, contrary
to expectation, turned down by the city
council last night. The vols on the final
pa iiar of the measure was three ayes
and five nays. Aldermen Casper, Lougee
and McDonald voting for It and Aldermen
Fleming. Huber. Lovett, Olson and Tlnley
voting agalnat It.
Before being placed on Its third resd
Ing tbs ordinance which hd been recom
mended by tbe committee of the whole,
had a number of minor amendments tacked
onto It. Alderman Casper, in voting for
the paaaage of the ordinance, explained
his vote by saying that while he believed
the company eecurlna th frnki.
eventually sell It, he voted for ft because
It had been before the council for over a
year sad hs believed the people wanted an
Independent system In tbs city. When
ths vote was announced and the mayor had
announced tbat the ordinance bad failed
to pass, Casper asked the members voting
against the meaaure why they had not an
nounced tneir position beforehand and
ssved all the time tbat hsd been spent In
considering It.
One of ths aldermen who voted against
the ordlnsnce stated after the meeting
that the reason It bad been voted down
was because the Western lows company
In tbe first place promised If given an
ordlnsnce to only plsce a central station
In the city for the purpose of securing
connection with the Independent com
panies throughout this section of the state
but bad subsequently gons bsck on this
agreement snd Introduced sn ordinance
grsntlng them the privilege of estsbllsh
Ing a local exchange and another telephone
system within the city limits, to which the
business men as a rule were opposed.
Msyor Morgan sprang a surprise on tbe
aldermen by presenting the nsme of Judge
George H. Scott for trustee of the publie
llbrsry to fill the vacancy caused by the
reslgnstlon of Rev. Father Smyth. So
greatly were the aldermen taken by sur
prise that ths announcement of the mayor
wss received with a silence that could si
most be felt. As no motion wss made to
approve tbe appointment tbe mayor was
forced to ask the council what It wished
to do with hla appointment. Alderman
Casper replied tbat be believed the ap
pointment rested with the council and sug
gested that a ballot be taken on It. Finally
the matter was disposed of by a motion
to approve the appointment, which car
ried without further discussion.
The ordlnsnce prohibiting gutter down
spouts on buildings in the business center
of the city, which discharge water over
the sidewalks, was introduced and passed.
The ordlnsnce amending the poll tax
ordinance so as to make It permlssable
for persons subject to the tax to liquidate
their Indebtedness by the payment of J1.50
Instead of $2 If paid at time of service of
notice by the collector, was laid on the
table. It was explained that the ordinance
had been prepared too late to be effective
this year as a number of persons had al
ready paid tbe tax at the old rate of 12.
The Citlxens Gss Electric company
was ordered to extend Its mains on Pierce
street In advance of the paving now being
iaiu. nanager rritchmsn said the order
would be compiled with ss soon ss the
pipe arrived.
The opinion of City Engineer Etnyre was
called for on a number of matters but
he was not present and the aldermen de
mended that he attend the meetings of
the city council the same as the other city
officials did. Tbe aldermen have made this
demand before, but the city engineer, be
ing an officer elected by the people and
not appointed by tbe city council, has not
paid much attention to the demand.

CONTEST AMONG WOODMEN
Eeriiion of lrmraxee Pita Occasion of
Much Controversy.
TWO CANNON FOR DRAKE UNIVERSITY
Ex. Marshal Rlrharde Secnrea Change

Kotary Fees Dno
In Jnly.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. May 4. (Special.) Tbe
annual meeting of the head camp for tbe
state of Iowa of tbe Modern Woodmen of
America is to be held In this city, com
mencing on Wednesdsy, snd already a num
ber of tbe delegates bare arrived snd are
j preparing for the meeting, which Is likely
to be one of the largest attended ever held
in the state. The chief controversy of the
camp will be over the question of rstes.
It Is proposed by the national officers and
Is being pushed by Lleutensnt Governor
Northcott of Illinois. J. G. Jobnson of
Kansas, chairman of the democratic na
tional committee, ia opposing the plan. In
this state the contest appears to have come
squarely between Jerry Green, bead consul
for the state, of Davenport, and Colonel C.
G. Saunders of Council Bluffs. Green snd
his friends oppose the Northcott plsn of
revision of the business ot the order to
conform to a step-rate plsn and yet is In
favor of some revision snd bis opponents
say be Is In fact in favor of the step-rate
plan. Saunders and Green are candidates
tor director of the state. There has grown
up great bitterness over the matter of re
vision and most of the delegates are in
structed one wsy or the other. The friends
of Saunders are today claiming that he
will have two-thirds ot the votes In tbe
camp.
Cannon for n College.
Drake university will have two fine can
non as a part of the campus equipment be
fore Memorial day, If present plans do not
fall. Some time ago Dr. McCash of the
University Christian church, as trustee for
tbe university, took up the matter of se
curing cannon with Congressman Hull, and
arranged a plan to secure the same. An
asfoclatlon known as the University Plaee
Memorial association wss formed, ss the
War department is authorized to send out
the condemned cannon only to such asso
ciations. This association hss made ap
plication for cannon and bas received no
tice that two will be forwarded at once.
One will be a three-Inch steel rifle and the
other an eight-inch gun, each one weigh
ing about two tons. These guns will be ap
propriately mounted and placed on the col
leae campus where they will form a con
spicuous feature. The university Is under
obligation to Congressman Hull for having
the matter pushed through tne war ae-
partment very quickly.
Inspected One lows Regiment.
Malor Brush of the regular army re
turned this morning from St. Louie where
he went to make Inspection of the Firty
fourth regiment, Iowa National guard, while
tbat regiment was encamped for the pur
pose of participating In tbe dedication
ceremonies. . Tb .regiment showed up at
St. Louis 503 men and 88 officers. Major
Brush said: , --
"The regiment made a fine appesrsnce.
It Is an excellent regiment and I wouldn't
hesitate to take it right Into action Just
as It Is with every man as at present. Of
course the regiment was not as clesn as It
would have been In barracks, but that was
no fault of the men. They suffered a great
deal from the cold, but they braved It like
Major Brueh went this evening to Cedar
Rapids where he begins inspection of the
Fifty-third regiment.
Richards Gets Chnnsje of Venue.
The change ot venue In the esse of the
Stste against ex-Marahal Richards, on a
charge of robbery In connection with the
Sullivan holdup at Hamilton, In Marlon
county, was granted at Knoxvllle this morn
ing by Judge Nichols on a showing of preju
dice In Marlon county that would be suf
ficient to render It Impossible to secure
a competent Jury. The case was sent to
Warren county. It will come before Judge
Gamble at the September term of court at
Indianola. Richards came up to Des
Moines on Sunday. He expressed him
self as confident then of securing the
change and hoped that It would be sent to
Des Moines for trial or falling In that the
case might be sent to Albla. He Is very
confident of his ability to clear himself
when be,secures a fair trial. The sending
of the esse to Indianola will probably re
sult In a continuance after the September
term, as Judge Gamble will bold that term.
There was no great objection to having the
case go to Indianola on that account.
Judge Gamble had already, in sentencing
Balrd, passed Judgment of condemnation on
Richards and in most scathing terms de
clared Richards to be guilty. For this
reason It Is probable that Richards' law
yers will not allow the case to be tried
before Gamble. The sending of the cass to
Warren county virtually sends It back
to Richards' home aa his parents live near
Indlsnols. and he lived there many years
and has many warm friends.
Notary Fees Now Doe.
The secretary of state this morning
mailed out over 7,000 notices to (he notsrles
public In the stats of Iowa telling them of
tbe fact that on July 4 next all their
commissions will expire at the same time
and unless tbey secure new commissions
before tbat time they will not be permitted
to do business. There are over 7,000 of
these In the state and all commissions are
for three yesrs or less, expiring on a cer
tain date every three years. The fee for
acurlng a commission is $5 and bonds havs
to be filed and approved. This notsrlal
business v.111 therefore yield to the stats
upwards ot 835,000 In fees this year in ad
dition to the other ordinary feea of the
state. It Is expected that applications will
begin to come In rapidly as soon as tbe
notaries receive the notices.

ditions. The maater plumbers are stand
ing out and a general strike may bo or
dered.
