TAX FERRET IS AWARDED HIS MONEY Sapreme Coart Affirms the Canning ham Case, Appealed from Potta wattamie Coanty ricking a President for Ames. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, May 16 (Special ) The articles of Incorporation of the Western Iowa Interurban Railway company, cap ital, $1,000,000, were adopted this afternoon by a meeting of persons Interested In the construction of an electric railroad west from Des Moines to Council Bluffs or Mis souri Valley. The articles provide for- a directory board of one person from each county through which the line will pass, namely. Polk, Dallas. Guthrie, Audubon, Shelby, Harrison and Pottawattamie. It waa decided that the stock should be sub scribed as far as possible by those living along tho line. The route has not been fully selected, but It will pass through Dallas Center, Panora, Guthrie Center, Audubon, Harlan and Logan. Among those who are conspicuous In the move ment are: F. M. Hopkins, Outhrle Center; C. R. Benedict, Harlan; J. C. Mllllman, Logan; H. L. Moore, Panora; A. Barr, Dallas Center, and J. A. Nash, Audubon. The movement 1s the result of efforts made all along the line to secure an electrio Interurban of this kind. It will make connections with the Des Moines system of lnterurbsns, which is very extensive now. The members of the company today took a. trip to Col fa over the Des Moines inter urban line and were greatly pleased with It. This Una has proved very profitable, although not yet In operation an entire year. It is believed here the plans for a western line are sure to materialize and It' will be commenced this year. Tax. Ferret Case Decided. The supreme court this morning decided the tax ferret case from Pottawattamie county, tn which taxpayers called in ques tion the contract made with Cunningham to pay him 60 per cent of collections on taxes. The contract was made before the new law limiting the compensation To tax ferrets was put In force. Cunningham was to not only ferret out hidden taxes, but was to collect the same. The supreme court upheld the lower court In sustaining the contract, as there was nothing to .show that the contract was contrary to tfie'lftW, as It existed at the time It . was made, nor that the compensation was excessive for the work to-be done.. The court also decided the case of Brans against' the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company, in which a verdict J was obtained for plaintiff for personal Injuries. The case was affirmed.

A meeting of the subcommittee of the committee on presidency of the State col lege was held here this, evening, the sub committee being one that was authorised to make personal Investigation of the claims of the various Iowa candidates for the presidency of the State college. The committee has made personal Investigation, has visited several places In the state and made Inquiry among a great many persons and It la expected will be able to make a report to the trustees at their meeting In Ames on Saturday that will be acted upon. The committee haa never .been able to mako any report at all. Lost Relatives In Rassla. Jacob Rosen, a Russian Jew, residing on Des Moines street nesr East Second, has received advices convincing him beyond doubt that his parents were slain In the terrible religious riots at Klschineff, Rus sia, during which Jews were massacred with almost unparalleled cruelty. Fearing that other members of his family may share the same fate, he hurriedly departed for Chicago, at which place he expected to procure transportation back to the land of the ciar and means with which to bring his Innocent and helpless brothers and sisters to freo America. Des Molnoa Went Wrong. The city of Dea Moines was rather se verely scored for Its procedure In trying to open a. street.. The city had sought three separate - times to condemn land for a street leading to Mercy hospital. The first two awards .were regarded too high and the city merely abandoned them. The money was put up ' on r the last one.. The court held that this was a wrong procedure, as abandonment of an award In condemna tion proceedings must be In good faith which this was not.

Infernal Ma chine on Pier. NEW YORK,. May U Police Inspector McClusky returned today from Chtcigo, where he had been investigating the mys tery of the Infernal machine left on the Cunard pier. He said his trip had estab lished the ' fact that only one man was concerned in the. whole affair and that he was not, In the Inspector's opinion, the member of sny secret society or band. He had not expected to find Roescau. the suppect, in. Chicago. Clues were leading to other western cities. A good description of the msn wanted had been telegraphed to every town and city In the I'nlted States and Cinada, he said. The inspector slid that he was a long way from solving the mystery, but hoped that something tangible would soon be dlscotered. The dynamite, the Inspector asserted, waa procured in thli city; where, he de clined to say. The Inspector Is also satis fled that there was no motive of revenge and that Rosseau was never connected In any way with the Cunard line. He denied that the police had found a piece of news paper in Rosseau's room in this city bear' ing a note intimating that the loss of the Naromlc some years ago was the result of a similar plot. The lnspctor repeated. In response to questions, that there was no possibility of the matter turning out to be a Joke. He asserted thai there was a serious scheme behind It. As to the nature of this, h was silent. McClusky would not say In what dlreo tlon the search for Rosseau was being made. Xew Grala Port Planned.

IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY The Problem of Substituting Electricity for Steam on Trunk Lines. ARGUMENT OF A SWISS ENGINEER Comparative Coat of the Two Powers Considered and a Favornble Showing Made for Electricity. The conviction was expressed by Mr. Cor nelius Vanderbilt last December In The North American Review that, while the electrio operation of trunk line roads la feasible from an engineering point of view. It would not prove advantageous finan cially. This argument Is reviewed In the May number of the same periodical by C. u. de- Muralt, a Swiss engineer, who has been closely identified with electric traction In his own country and who has repeatedly visited the United States. The discussion Is confined mainly to the points raised by Mr. Vanderbilt. On two of these the for eigner agrees with him. It Is conceded that the cost of fuel would be the same under tha two systems of operation: No claim Is made that the maintenance ot the road would be less expensive In one ense than in the other. Upon two or three other vital questions M. de Muralt reaches dif ferent conclusions from the author of the first North American article. !','-( . .ComoaratlveOost.' At the outset it Is assumed that the rail way company would obtain Its current from outside corporations engaged In lighting or running trolley roads In cities along the route, but would build Its own transmis sion line. . Transformers for reducing the voitsge would be located on the electric locomotives, and not In sub-stations. Al lowing for losses in distribution, M. de Muralt thinks that electricity ought not to cost over eight-tenths of a cent a horse power hour at the driving wheels. For the average weight of passenger trains he sdopts :w or 2&0 tons, and Soo tons for freight trains. It Is then estimated that electricity enough to move one of the for mer for an hour would cost tH cents, and one of the latter 13V4 cents, If the current were derived from a steam power station. These figures are almost Identical with those given for steam locomotive service, with coal at $2 a ton; S cents and 15 cents respectively. If water power were available there would be a very great reduction. In a later part of his paper M. de Muralt says that If the New York Central would take Its current from Niagara, the St. Law rence and the upper Hudson it would ef fect ."an additional saving of more than 11.500,000 yearly." Entirely aside from this possibility, though, u distinct economy would result from the fact that an electrio locomotive la lighter than a steam engine and tender. It would have a smaller load to handle and would require less power. The advantage would be even more marked with switching locomotives. On the whole, tha Swiss engineer is satisfied thst the power consumption would be reduced 10 per cent. The other exper.srs of operation are taken up in detail and several possibilities UBWE ' xmv bottles of original Budweiser. Accept no imitations of the King of Bottled Beers."

Water and water tanks for locomotives rould. be dispensed with, and there would be an estimated reduc tion of 50 per cent for suoh supplies as oil and waste, and 25 per cent on labor. As a contribution to this last form of economy. It is suggested that the motor and bag gage car might be combined for certain classes of service. It Is admitted that the cost of repuirs on machinery proper and running gear would probably be as great for electrio locomotives as for the present type of motor. According to good authori ties, though, 20 per cent of the charges for repairs on steam engines Is due to boilers, 12 to boiler lagging and painting, 6 to smokebox and 13 to tender, or 50 per cent altogether. When M. de Muralt applies these discounts to the operating expenses of the New York Central and Pennsylvania roads as he does tn an Impressive table he gets an annual reduction of $4,762,271.06 for the former and S,938,363.34 for the latter. He believes that a transmission line ought not to cost over $rt,000 or $7,000 a mile. An allowance of , 10 per cent, on this fresh In vestment of capital, for Interest and sink ing fund, would menn Ji.SW.OOO for the New' York Central and $2,324,000 for the Penn sylvania. In other words, each of these j two great systems would apparently save j about $2,000,OGO a year In operating expenses ! by the change. Concerning the Equipment. ' It would not be necessary to get enougn electric locomotives to equip . the whole rond at once. This type of engine could be ordered In place of the new steam en gines thnt are t:alledVfoT every year. Out lay for motive machinery, then, need not be considered as. an sddltional. burden. Con. version could' be effected gradually, one section of the road ' being changed at a time, and the old engines being employed elsewhere until worn out. Apparently M. de Muralt has one ad vantage over . Mr: t Vanderbilt. He Is fa miliar with both of . tha .traction systems compared. Instead of only one. Moreover, he Is a professional engineer, and has ac quired his technical Information first hand and not from other experts. If, however, he has been a trifle too sanguine In his sdvocacy of progressive measures, It would only be Just to assume that Mr. Vander bilt had erred as much on tha side of conservatism. Probably the truth lies be tween the two points. Even so, the dis cussion will prove exceedingly useful. Electric traction on trunk lines Is bound to come In this country before msny years is coming already In Europe.
