OBJECT TO PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT
Psrmtst of Half of Total Fee When
Contract Is Ratified Oae of the
Things Which Is Ofc
jected To.
The proposed contract with the archi
tects selected to draw plans for and super
vise the construction of the Carnegie li
brary building proved a bone of contention
at the meeting of the library board last
night. Oratory of the most acrimonious
character was Indulged In by several of
the trustees and personalities and Insinua
tions floated across and back over the
board table thicker than mosquitoes during
the summertime at Lake Manawa.
Attorney Stewart, as chairman of the
committee to which was entrusted the
duty of drafting a contract to be sub
mitted for the approval of the board, pre
sented a contract which he and Trustee
Balrd had drawn up and which had been
accepted and signed by the two Arms of
architects, Patton ft Miller of Chicago and
Woodward Bros., of this city. ' Trustee
Bender, the third member of this com
mittee, objected to the contract being sub
mitted as the report of the committee at
the outset of the meeting. He insisted
that he had not seen the contract after It
had been drawn up and took the stand that
the contract should have been submitted
to the board for Its approval before the
signatures of the architects had been se
cured to It. In this he was supported by
President Rohrer and Trustees Oalvln and
Tyler.
Mr. Stewart, In7 a lengthy talk, urged
the adoption of the contract as prepared
by him and Mr. Balrd, In Its entirety,
while others of the board urged that it be
taken up section by section.
After the board had been In session for
over three hours and no progress made,
Mr. Bender moved to adjourn to Saturday
night in order that the members could
look over and more thoroughly examine
the proposed contract. After one hour
more of oratory and heated discussion an
adjournment was taken until this evening.
Trustees Stewart, Cleaver, Balrd and Scott
voting against the adjournment
Communications were received from John
Latenser of Omaha and Cox ft Schoentgen
of this city, both offering to draw the
plans and supervise the construction of
the building for SH per cent.
The president was authorised to enter
Into an arrangement with the present oc
cupants of the Pusey home to rent the
building for a period of three months. The
possession of the building has now passed
to the city.
The Woman's club In a communication
requested that In planning the new library
building provision be made for a room in
which the woman's clubs of the city could
hold their meetings.
Great Western to Pave.
The Great Western railroad has decided
to pave the yards around Its freight de
pot on Ninth avenue between Sixth and
Seventh streets with vitrified brick on con
crete base. The contract has been awarded
to E. A. Wlckham and the proposed Im
provement will cost the railroad between
13,000 and Si.000. Work will be begun at
onco In order that It may be completed
before the ground freer.es. This paving will
connect with that to be laid by the city on
Ninth avenue. In addition to the paving
Wlckham was given the contract to place
all the Great Western's street crossings In
proper condition for travel. This will take
somo time as the Great Western crosses a
large number of streets from Its entrance
Into the city to Its connection with the

RICHARDS SENDS TELEGRAM
Operator Corroborates Story of Con
vict Balrd In Sullivan Rob
bery Case.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 24. (Speclal.)-The
teetirnony in the Richards robbery case at
Indlanola continued sensational today. The
State practically finished Ks leading evi
dence against Richard! Mr. and Mrs.
Sullivan were on the stand and related the
circumstances of the robbery. The evidence
today added to the strength of the state's
case, though on cross examination some
of the witnesses wavered In their state
ments. The principal featuie this morning was
the evidence of Operator Barr, formerly
of Hamilton, who testified that a man he
believed to be Richards sent the telegram
identified by Balrd yesterday as one agreed
upon In case Richards found the coast
clear.. Operator Barr partially Identified
Richards as the man who sent the tele
gram, creating not a little sensation In the
court room aa he did so. Elbert Sullivan,
son of the parties robbed, told how he was
decoyed away from his home by Richards
on the evening of the robbery, corroborat
ing the testimony of Balrd who stated yes
terday that the defendant said he would
ge the boy away. Every witness placed
on the, stand corroborated closely the story
told by the ex-convict and strengthened ma
terially the case the state Is making against
the ex-deputy.
While Balrd was telling his story of the
robbery and Richards' alleged connection,
he was asked where he went after the
shooting. He replied that he ran through
some streets and alleys and came to a pig
stye. .

Council Bluffs will In all probability be
called upon to entertain the leading club
women of the Ninth congressional district
early In November. To consider the ques
tion a general meeting of the club women
of the city has been called for Saturday
afternoon at t o'clock In the rooms of the
Council Bluffs Woman's club.
The gener&J sentiment among the club
women of the city is said to be In favor of
extending the invitation to have the annual
fathering of women's clubs of the district
tid In this city this year. The meeting last
year waa held In Red Oak and was attended
by over S0O of the representative club
women of the district. Atlantic Invited the
women to hold their next meeting there, bit
It has been decided thst Atlantlo cannot be
conveniently reached from all parts of the
district and Council Bluffs has been askej
to act the hostess Instead.

which some of the members took exception ana j got

said to the other to look Into the hog
house. The other fellow said: Do you
think I am a damn fooir Then they went
away. In that party I thought I saw Rich
ards, but I will not be sure. I went to
the nearest house and tried to arouse some
body. I must have lost lota of blood for
I was nearly frozen. Soon I heard someone
coming that way and I lay down In the
shade of a house until they passed. I then
went to a house where there was a light
and hid the money under a porch. There
was a doctor living there. I forget his
name."
The testimony of the Gulllvana went over
the whole story of the robbery when three
men called at their house and two entered
and demanded the money which had been
taken from a bank on that day, the subse
quent torture of Mrs. Sullivan to compel
her to tell, and the recognition of Richards
as one of the persons connected with the
crime.
Elbert Sullivan, the young msn who the
state says was decoyed from his home on
the evening of the shooting and robbery,
told the jury how Richards asked him to
go to a restaurant up town and by a ruse
got him to remain away from home during
tne robbery. Sullivan's testimony was val
uable for the state, and It waa corroborated
oy Mrs. McKlnney, proprietories of ' the
restaurant as to time and conversation.
Sullivan's story contradicted the generally
accepted theory that the robbers placed the
lamp under Mrs. Sullivan's feet and tor
turea her until she revealed the hiding
place of the money. The money, he says,
was produced before the lamp was placed
under her feet.
The state failed to prove by Hayes Long
that Richards was near enough to overhear
Banker Wlloox tell witness that Mrs. Bull!
van had better leave the money In the
house,

Charles I Gillette, a sign painter whose
place of business was at IS South Main
street and his residence at (03 Madison
avenue, Is believed to have left the city
under circumstances that would Indicate
his Intention not to return. He Is thought
to have started for California to make his
heme with his children by his former wife.
At least this Is the supposition of his most
Intimate friends and his Invalid wife.
A few days ago Gillette sold his busi
ness to Thomas Caughey, and Tuesday
placed some of his business affairs In the
hands of an attorney. He left his home
on Madison avenue Tuesday morning and
has not since returned. His daughter, Mrs.
Lincoln Hill, and husband left Tuesday
for San Francisco, and It Is thought that
Gillette accompanied them, although he
left word at his home and former place of
business that he was going fishing.
The belief that Gillette left Tuesday for
California la strengthened by the fact that
he showed to some friends transportation
to Oakland, Cal., and that he la known to
have shipped some goods to the same des
tination.
Mrs. Isabel Gillette, the invalid wife,
when seen at her home on Madison avenue,
stated she had every reason to believe that
her husband had abandoned her to go and
live with his children by his first wife.
Bho said she had received a letter Wednes
day from her husband In which waa en
closed a $S bill and In which he stated he
Intended to make his home with his chil
dren. The letter also referred to business
matters. Mrs. Gillette stated further that
her husband's business had for soma time
been carried on In her name and their
home was also In her name. This had been
arranged several years ago, when Gillette
was Involved In business troubles. Mrs.
OHUtte admitted that her husband In the
letter she received since his departure ad
vised her to secure a divorce.
Mrs. Hill, Gillette's daughter, came from
Ban Francisco last February and with her
husband and two children had made her
home with him since, the husband work
ing with Gillette. Mrs. Gillette said that
for several months past the daughter had
been urging her father to go back with
them to California. Mrs. Gillette alleged
that her husband had abandoned his first
wife and two children more than twenty
years ago In Kansas. Gl'.lette was mar
ried to hla present wife about nineteen
years ago and has lived In Council Bluffs
and vicinity ever since. At one time he
owned considerable property here, but lost
It through business reverses.

Campaign to Be Short.
George 8. Wright, chairman of the re
publican county central committee, Is home
from Denver, Colo., where he had been for
several weeks on legal business In connec
tion with the famous mining suit of James
Doyle against James F. Burns, president
of the Portland Gold Mining company.
With the other attorneys for Doyle Mr.
Wright was engaged In preparing a new
brief to be submitted at the hearing before
the supreme court, which probably will be
held October 15.
Regarding the campaign In Pottawetta
nils county Chairman Wright said yester
day: "As soon ss possible I Intend to call
a meeting of the county central committee
and the candidates for county offices to
discuss plans. The state campaign, I have
learned since my return. Is to be a short

BANK CASHIER SUPPOSED TO BE CRAZY
Statistics Show There Were Sixty

Season and that They Were
Orderly as a llnle.
(From a Staff Correspondent.) .
DES MOINE8, Sept. 84. (Special.) The
state railroad commissioners are In a con
troversy with the Northwestern railroad
over a peculiar situation In regard to
freight rates. Some time ago shippers
In Mason City made complaint that the
Northwestern was charging Interstate rates
on shipments of goods to points on the
Algona line of the Northwestern, whereas
formerly the rates of the state commission
were applied on this class of business. The
shipments are from one point In the state
to another In the state, but the goods pass
In transit through Minnesota. The rail
road company found that the Interstate
Commerce commission had decided that In
such cases the interstate rates would ap
ply. The Iowa railroad commissioners
called attention to the fact that a decision
of the United States supreme court waa to
the contrary. Since then the company had
withdrawn Its Interstate rates, but has
substituted a rate based on the long haul
by Its own lines around by way of Tama,
all the distance In Iowa, but making a
much longer haul. Now the Mason City
shipper Insist that this Is also Irregular
and that the rate charged should be by a
shorter route, which Is feasible, though
over more than one system. The railroad
commissioners are still In doubt as to
whether or not they can enforce the lower
rates.
Cashier Supposed to Bo Crasy.
Elmer Brlntnall, cashier of the Farmers
and Merchants bank, a private institution
at H axle ton, Buchanan county, Is wander
ing in the country. He left the bank
hastily on Wednesday morning and started
across the country. The bank officials de
clared that there was nothing wrong with
the bank and that the funds were Intact.
They, however, procured bloodhounds to
follow the fleeing cashier, and he waa
tracked to the Crofoot achoolhouse where
the dogs lost track of him. The friends
of the man declare that he is Insane, and
no other explanation Is offered as towiila
actions.

Sixty Strikes In Iowa.
During the last year there were at least
sixty strikes in commercial business In
the state of Iowa, according to the reports
of employers to the State Labor bureau.
but they have not reported that there was
violence or the threat of violence In a
single Instance, except at Dubuque. The
reports on strikes show. In fact, that they
were peaceably conducted and that there
was no great amount of feeling displayed.
Commissioner Brtgham this morning com
pleted the preliminary story for his bien
nlal report, introducing the statistical ta
bles complied from the reports of em
pioysrs. The office sent out blanks to
4,000 employers of labor In Iowa and se
cured satisfactory returns from 1,627 of
them, and from 673 others received ac
knowledgments; but 45 per cent of the em
ployers failed to make any report. The

Question of a tVnomm.
Arguments were msde today in the con
tested nomination case from the Emmet
Dickinson district. Judge Carr speaking
for Mr. Robinson and Senator Cheshire
for Dr. Fuller. The taking of testimony
was completed this morning, Mr. Robinson
being last on the stand. The nrguments
were exhaustive and covered the whole
ground of the legal status of conventions.
The final contention of the opposing sides
centered around the question whether a
quorum participating Is neceasary to make
a regular convention In Iowa. The evi
dence showed that practically all of the
time of the convention the Dickinson
county delegation was In the same room
with the others, but did not participate
at the time the nomination was made. As
only half of the delegates entitled to seats
in the convention conducted the proceed
ings, further, it was contended that there
was no legal quorum participating, hence
no nomination was made by either faction.
On the other hand, It waa contended that
there Is no law or rule requiring a ma
jority of the delegates present before a
political convention can do business. The
question Is one that has not. before been
brought to the attention of any publlo
tribunal.
Work for Chnreh Union.
Three religious denominations In the west

unity. They are the United Brethren, the

This afternoon at the United Brethren
conference In Summit church this subject
was brought up. The conference received
a delegation from the Methodist Protestant
church conference of this state, which was
delegated by Its body to present the subject
officially to the United Brethren confer
ence of the Des Moines district. President
8. J. Geddes of the state conference and
Rev. E. S. Brown of Newton and J. M.
Pickett of Des Moines were the commis
sion. Though this conference cannot settle
the question, It Is expected that some reso
lutions will be adopted and later will be
presented to the general conference, and
that the Methodist Protestants will also
take the same resolutions before their
state body.

BOARD OF TRADE IS BEATEN
Injunction Prayed for Against the
Christie Company Is Hot
Allowed.
DUBUQUE. Ia., Sept. 24.-Judge Shlras
has written the opinion for the United
States court of appeals In the case of the
Christie Grain and Stock company et al,
appellant, against the Board of Trade of
Chicago, appellee, reversing the decision of
the federal court of Missouri and remand
ing the case to that court with instructions
to dismiss the bill at complainant's cost.
The Chicago board of trade secured an
injunction In the lower court against the
Christie company restraining it from ob
taining from the telegraph companies any
of the quotations furnished by the board of
trade, alleging that the quotations were
private property and could not be furnished
except on contract.
The testimony developed that 85 per cent
of the transactions of the board was gamb
ling In margins, that by admission of the
