OPPOSITION TO FRANCHISE
Borne Aldermen Think Propcial of Belt
Line Company it Too Sweeping.
PROMOTERS DENY ITS BEING FREEZE0UT
Say They Depead om lltlmato Entry
of Other Electrle Lines la Order
to Make Profit Oat of
Their Veatsrs.
"Without other Interurban electric lines
coming Into Council Bluffs the franchise for
a belt line which we now seek would not
be worth a cent to us." Bnch was the state
ment of Malcolm Green, one of the pro
moters of the Interurban Terminal ft Belt
Lisa company, to the aldermen at a. meet
ing of the committee of the whole, held
ment of Malcolm Oreen, one of the pro
posed ordinance.
By this statement Mr. Oreen explained to
the committee that he meant that the com
pletion of the Tabor line would undoubtedly
encourage other Interurban electric lines to
build Into Council Bluffs and thus make the
construction of a belt line Indlspenslble.
Unless other roads did come In the belt line
would In all probability not be built.
The discussion of the ordinance was
purely Informal, only Ave of the aldermen
being present. The promoters took the
ground that Council Bluffs ought to receive
their proposition with open arms and If
anything offer them a bonus to enter the
city. They stated that they had been given
rlght'-of-way through the business portions
of Sidney, Tnbor. Hastings and Rockport
without any demand that they pay damages
and at Rlverton they had been given a
right-of-way through the residence portion
also without being asked to pay any dam
ages. 'Denies Bel n at a Freese-Ont.
Mr. Green denied that the proposition to
establish a belt line in the city was for the
purpose of preventing any other interurban
electric line from entering the city except
over their tracks and on such terms as they
would dictate.
Some of the aldermen appeared opposed to
the company entering the city on South
avenue and so expressed themselves, con
tending that this was the main thorough
fare for farmers to drive Into the city from
the south. President Dobbs of the Tabor
line In answer to this stated that this route
had been planned upon at the Instigation
and suggestion of the executive committee
of the Commercial club, which desired to
place the Iowa School for the Deaf In com
munication with the city by electric car
line. The plan of the company had been
prior to the suggestion of the Commercial
club, to enter the city In the western por
tion. ' '
President Dobbs stated that four trains
dally will be run each way between Coun
cil Bluffs and Lnngdon, which Is six miles
beyond Rockport. the original proposed ter-
us of the line. The company, ' Mr.
r.bbs explained, will absorb a slx-mlle
steam road now tn operation between Rock
port and Ijangdon. '
Malcolm Oreen, the representative of the
eastern firm financing the company, tn con
cluding his address to the committee, said:
The attitude you take Is of great conse
quence to us, because we desire your good
will and co-operation. The very work that
we are doing should commend us to your
goodwill. We have not asked anything In
imical to the city's welfare. We are ready
to adopt a northern terminal and we would
desire to try Council Bluffs first. We ask
prompt action on the part of the city
council,"
The general opinion of the aldermen Is
that the ordinance Is altogether too sweep
ing, as ill gives the company the right to
occupy and practically monopolise every
street and avenue In the city except those
on which the street railway company at
present has Its tracks.
The committee adjourned without taking
any action on the ordinance. '

LIBRARY BOARD TAKES ACTION
Derides to Purchase Plnney Property
for Addition to tho Library
t Site.
The Library Board decided last night to
add to the site for the Carnegie library
building by purchasing the Plnney prop
erty adjoining the Pusey homestead on
the south. The price to be paid for the
property, which Is Improved with a two
story and basement brick dwelling and a
brick office building, will be $6,200. this
being the figure at which the board has
an option on the property. The question
of purchasing the Plnney property was
determined last night In order that the
architects could draw their plans of ths
library In conformity with the else of the
site. Mrs. Everett and J. J. Stewart were
the only members of the board to oppose
the purchase of the property.
Orant Miller of the firm of Paton A Mil
ler, the Chicago Arm of architects selected
by the board to draw the plans of the
Carnegie library, arrived yesterday and
was preaent at the meeting which was
devoted principally to on informal dis
cussion as to the character of the build
ing to be erected. After deciding to ac
quire the additional ground by the pur
chase of the Plnney property before the
expiration of the option, the board adopted
a resolution to the effect that the entire
fTO.COO offered by Mr. Carnegie be expended
In the building and furnishings. It was
estimated the cost of the moveable furni
ture would not exceed $2,000.
The board was unanimous In favoring a
building of two stories and basement Sev
eral of the members are desirous that the
main entrance be on Willow avenue, fac
ing Baylies park and this developed con
siderable discussion. President Rohrer
suggested that the building have two en
trances, one on Willow avenue and one on
Pearl street It was, however, decided
not to decide definitely on this until the
architects had submitted their preliminary
sketches.
Mr. Miller suggested that the building be
constructed on the slow burning plan, as
to erect an absolutely fire proof building
would cost from $8,000 to 810,000 more. Mr.
Miller expects to remain' here and pre
pare the preliminary plana and sketches
and as soon ss same are approved by the
board will ret Am to Chicago where he
win complete them.

LEWIS NlXONRESUMES STAND
Makes Farther Admissions Concern
Ins; Receivership of Shln
balldlna; Company.
NEW TORK, Dec. 8. Lewis Nixon was
again on the stand on the resumption of
the United States shipbuilding receivership
hearing today. Bamuel Untermyer, counsel
for the suing bondholders, continued the
re-direct examination with questions about
the ability of the shipbuilding company
to have continued Its business without the
Bheldon reorganisation plan. Mr. Dixon
declared that If the Bethlehem company
had paid dividends the ship building could
have gone on.
"What was the cause of the collapse of
the shipbuilding' company?" asked .Mr. Un
termyer. ,
"The suit which your clients started,"
answered Mr. Nixon, but Mr. Untermyer,
unsatisfied, made him admit that the
promulgation of the Bheldon reorganisation
plan was a confession of Insolvency.
"Bo far as you know, was there any one
who was willing to trust the shipbuilding
company, after the Sheldon plan came out
on May M, 1903, and before the action was
begun on June 10, 1903 T"
Mr. Nixon's reply was "No,"
A copy of the letter front J. W. McGre
gor, an accountant, to Mr. Nixon, dated
April 17, was at this point Introduced In
evidence. It gave a statement of the ac
count of the shipbuilding company at that
time.
Mr. Nixon waa then asked about the
earnings of the subsidiary companies since
the receivership and said that the Union
Iron works had, during the year, earned
about $560, 0U).
Mr. Untermyer then announced that he
had finished with Mr. Nixon and C. C.
Doming, one of the counsel for the com
pany, took the witness for a short recross
examlnatlon, Oeorge W. Perkins of the
firm of J. P. Morgan A Co., being noti
ced that he would be wanted In an hour.
Mr. Demlng testified as to the work of
organising the company, and a aid that
Max Pam.had never received the $1,000,000
of stock allotted to him.
Mr. Nixon became angry at the line of
questioning by Mrs Untermeyer when he
cams to the stand again. He admitted that
the Shipbuilding company had put several
hundred thousand dollars more Into the
Crescent yards than It had taken out
Oeorge W. Perkins testified as to ths part
taken by Morgan V Co. In the formation
of the company, saying that firm only
acted as syndicate managers In buying the
Bethlehem plant for the United States Steel
corporation, and told of letting the Ship
building company have $760,000 for a few
days. He will continue his testimony to

WILSON TALKS OF WOOD
Retired Army Offlosr Shows Feeling When

WASHINGTON, Deo. g.-In the lnvestl.
Station of charges against General Wood,
Inspector Fosne Identified a copy ot a let
ter which he had .written to Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Brlstow uider
date of October 8, 1S9S, regarding- the Inci
dents of a visit h had received from Judge
Orxes, whloh court tried the Cuban postal
eases. The visit was for the purpose of ob
taining translations of the Brlstow report
of the Cuban postal frauds for use In the
trials. In this letter Mr. Fosnes said It
was the opinion of Judge Ortea that the
translation should be made In the United
States. Mr. Fosnes was asked whether he
had learned that the request made by
Judge Ortei waa at the request of General
Wood. He answered that such was Ms
understanding.
T e Spanish version of the report wss
filed as documentary evidence anl used
by the Cuban Junta In trials. The witness
was asked If he considered the report ex
pert evidence. He replied that It was tha
official report. He waa asked to stato his
office In Cuba and replied that he suc
ceeded General Kathbone as dlreotor gen
eral of posts.
Major Edgar 8. 'Dudley, who served In
Cuba a judge advocate under General
Wood, said that when General Wood re
ceived ths application of the Jal Alii tor a
concession to erect ' a "fronton" for the
playing of the Cuban gaihe of petola, the
application had -been referred to him for
Investigation. After making a thorough
Inquiry Into the character of the g.me the
wltnt-sa said he had Informed General
Wood that he should refuse to Indorse the
application on the grounds that the game
was a gambling institution.
Form of Application Cnaaged.
He said the application had been changed
to the building of a mere amusement
amphitheater and that In that form It had
received the approval of the War depart
ment. The concession to the Jal AUI com- :
pany was subsequently granted by Oen- '
eral Wood. '
' General James H. Wilson, U. 8. A., re- '
tired, told the committee of his meeting
with Captain E. O. Bellalrs at Havana,
aylng that he became convinced that Bel
lalrs came to .Havana for the purpose of
wilfully falsifying conditions In ths Island;
that Bellalrs called on him at bl head
quarters in the province of Matansas and
that he (General Wilson) then accused Bel
lalrs of writing dispatches which gave a
wrong color to affairs In the Island and In
jured the work of General Brooke and
ethers.
The witness said that Bellalrs admitted
that he was standing by his friends, de
claring that hi position was a necessary
one. General Wilson said the remark could
have had but one meaning. and that was that
he waa barking General Wood and that this
was evident from the nature of Bellalrs'
dispatches. The witness asserted It to be
his belief that Bellalrs went to Havana
for the purpose of promoting the advance
ment of General Wood.
When asked concerning the rapid strides
made by General Wood In jumping over
himself (General Wilson) and Gensral
Ludlow and Lee. the witness showed a feel
ing of bitterness against General Wood.
The effect of the response was that be con
sidered the promotion was brought about
by preferment rather than warranted by
merit. ,
