War oa Maaawa Feace.
Property owners at Manawa are renewing
their efforts to compel the motor company
to remove that portion of the high board
fence Inclosing their grounds which shuts
off the publlo thoroughfare known as Third
street. Chrisman Robards last year
brought suit in their nsmes and those of
other property owners at the lake against
the motor company and Judge Scott of the
superior court ordered the fence be taken
down. The motor company, however, se
cured from Judge Deemer a supersedeas
restraining Judge Scott from carrying Into
effect this order. All efforts to compel the
motor company to open the fence on Third
street last year failed, but counsel for the
plaintiffs has filed with the supreme court
a motion to set aside the supersedeas and a
hearing on It will be had In Des Moines
today. ..
There Is also talk of applying to the
courts to have the action of the Board of
County Supervisors In vacating tha county
road In front of the lake set aside. As mat
ters are now all public approachea to the
lake front have been shut oft by the motor
company. The records show that the land
tor tha road around the lake front was pur
chased by the county, the cost being paid
by the taxpayers at large. A large saloon
building now occupies part of what was
formerly a publlo highway.

SENDING SHIPS TO ORIENT
(Continued from First Page.)
homo of Madison and Monroe, the home of
Buchanan and Lincoln, the homo ot Grant,
Cleveland and McKlnley has passed away
under the plans of a member of the Amer
ican Society of Architects.
Cleveland Is Mum.
Since the publication of these dispatches
last week of the probable position which
Mr. Grover Cleveland will assume in tha
presidential cuntest of next year a number
of articles hava appeared In newspapers In
arloua sections of the country which have
attempted to make it appear that ths
former president has expressed himself
openly upon the subject of the next demo
cratic nominee. One of these articles un
der a Cleveland date line Intimated that
Mr. Cleveland might possibly consent to
allow his name to be used in the demo
crats convention. The article referred to.
while guardedly worded, was designed to
convey the impression that the former
president Is In the "hands of his friends."
It is a fact that Mr. Cleveland has at no
time Intimated to even his most Intimate
friends that ho will permit his name to bo
used under any consideration, and he cer
tainly would not be likely to authorize a
reporter whom he met casually during, a
fishing trip to make the announcement
whloh he has declined to make through
thoso whom hs knows best
Tho fact la that the ex-president Is not
likely under any circumstances to commit
himself for some months to corns. News
paper correspondents who have written to
him asking for an Interview have recently
been advised that Mr. Cleveland will be
very pleased to sea them at any time they
may visit Princeton after May 20, provided
they will not expect him to talk upon po
litical subjects for publication. It may bo
set down as absolutely certain, therefore,
that all alleged Interviews with him upon
the subject of the democratic nomination
next year are neither authentic nor au
thorised. Publlo Printer Palmer hopes to get Into
his new office building within tha next
three months. To accomplish this object,
however, he has a herculean task to per
form. The public printer has 4.000 or 5,000
compositors, pressmen, binders and fold
ers, to say nothing of laborers and assist
ants, under htm, and tons upon tons of
machinery to move. His right hand man
at this time Is Captain Brian, recently ap
pointed chief clerk, who was for a score
of years foreman of printing. If Captain
Brian were not a!ready gray-headed as tho
result of many years ot service for the
government his hair ought to turn gray In
one night because of the strain which ia
put upon him during these days of prep.
aratlon for removal. It Is no uncommon
thing to find him acting as a sort of pooh
bah of the printing office. The other day
he was publlo printer, chief clerk, foreman
of printing, financial clerk and paymaster
alt at one time, and yet he performed his
duties so sdmlrably that no one unfamiliar
with the workings of tho office would hava
imagined that one man was filling all thoso
places.
May Be Obliged to Aaswer.
A vigorous effort Is to be made by the
Interstate Commerce commission to com
pel President Baer of the Reading Coal
and Iron company and the Reading Railway
nd officials of other anthracite coal carry
ing roads to answer certain questions and
to produce certain documents which they
refused at the recent hearing before tha
commission in New York.
The particular documents, the originals
of which are demanded by the commlaston,
are alleged contrncts among tha coal car
rying roads limiting the production of
coal.
After considering the refusal of officials
to present the contracts to the Interstate
Commerce commission, the members of
