Chicago Clews to

Four young mem 'William Lilly, evident)
from Chicago, or Madison, Wis.; James
Grady of Chicago, and two whose names
could not be ascertained, were found
burned and suffocated to death In
Northwestern freight car In ths North
western yards at Council Bluffs early yes
terday morning. " '
Perry Hess, who was checking the train,
heard cries from the car and finally located
it, broke tha seal and opened the car
only to find It on fire on the inside and
had It twitched to the water tank, wher
the flames were Extinguished. After the
fir bad been extlngwlabed the four young
men were found in It lifeless. All were
white men.
The car was on containing furniture,
including Iron bedsteads, packed In excel
sior, and had been - shipped from and
sealed at Marlon, Inl, The young men
evidently bad entered the car through the
top door at Chicago. . The car reached
Council Bluffs at 11:30 Sunday night.
The bodies of the unfortunate men were
removed to an undertaking establishment
under tbe direction of the coroner and an
investigation proceeded. with.
. Letters of Idntl8oatlon.
There was found on the person of Lilly
a letter from Ella -Hans, dated April 6,
328 West Twentieth ' Place; no city," and
another from Jean Sdmmervi'le, 3203 In
diana avenue, no city, (evidently Chicago),
but whose former address was Macadoh,
Wis., and still 'another trora Miss Mario
Schlaack, Madison,. Wis.
On. tho body of ' the boy James Grady,
'who was apparently. about 20 years of age.
were found two letters; one a letter of
recommendation from . the. Stafford Tu-
ropean hotel, . at .Van . Duren and. LaSalle
streets, Chicago, commending him as an
elevator and bell boy; the o.her from
Saratoga hotel, Chicago, ur.der date of
April 7, 1904, stating that he worked there
nine months operating an elevator. The
only means of Identification was from these
letters, so of course this Is not absolutely
conclusive.
It I supposed that tbe young men were
smoking and carelessly set fire to the ex
celsior. They were "beating" their way
across the country, . " .
No clew was found on, the other two men
Indicating . from where they came or who
they are. The bodies were taken In charge
by tho coroner. The men- were badly burned
but . the consensus of - opinion is they were
smothered to aathv,!-..-n

ONLT DEMOCRATS 1! OS CONTRACTS
City -Conncll Otse-e on. .Theory to Victor
' Bel the-Spoils r
Tha action pf the city, council last night
whan awarding the contracts for furnish
ing supplies for ' the' several municipal
departments demonstrated the fact that
the newly elected aldermen Intend to fol
low the old principle f to the victor be
longs the spoils," and that for the next
two years- at lesstr "none but democrats
need' apply.'.' ' City Clerk Zurmueh'len had
prepared a tabulation 4 the blda on the
varloua supplies needed, tut It was trouble
thrown .away, . There 'were a number of
bidders for such supplies as oil, paint,
glass - and numerous other articles used
In the ' Are and other , city departments.
Some were low on some.' articles and high
on others, as has usually been the case In j
former years when the custom was' to
divide the, .contrasts i among - the bidders,
each to furnish such articles as he might j
be low bidder on. . Custom, t however, . af
forded no precedent for' the present coun
cil, as when the clerk had completed read
ing hjs report .Aldermsn Wearer, promptly
moved that ths contract be divided equally
between George 8. Darla and J. C. De
Haven, both staunch democrats; and ' the
motion carried, 'Aldrman Olson, tho lone
republican on the . council, voting against
(t. When tha motion passed It was dis
covered that neither Davis nor DeHaveo
sold' hardware, and the contract ' for sup
plying this class of goods had to be
Swarded to Swalne A. Maurer, desplt Al
derman Weaver's protest.
The same course was pursued when the
contract for printing end stationery sup
plies was awarded. It went to the Frank
lin Printing company, the mansger of
which Is a prominent member of tbe demo
cratic party, on - motion Of Alderman
Weaver, despite the fact, that another bid
der was lower on several items. As Mayor
Macrae naively put it, "what was left" was
given to the Nonpareil Publishing company,
the only bidder on certain ledgers and
other bond material. The Hafer Lumber
company secured the contrsct for furnish
ing lumber and ouch supplies, other bids
being practically Ignored. The law re
quires that the city shall Invite each year
competitive bids for supplies.
' Mayor Macrae gave tho member of tho
several committee a rap ever the knuckle.
The chairmen of the committees havs so
far persisted In making their reports ver
bally, and the mayor Insisted that the re
port be mad In writing, so that tha coun
cil could act "intelligently" on them.
The condition of Jower Broadway excited
the usual discussion and Alderman Youn
kennan suggested, that a "sledge hammer
be used to break up some of the rocks
which stuck up like beer keg along the
thoroughfare. At ths suggestion of Al
derman Crlppen the street commissioner
was Instructed to fill aM hole on Broad
way from Eleventh to Twenty-fourth
streets.
Thomas H. Schneider . waa granted per
mission to -conduct the saloon at the cor
ner of. Scott street and Broadway, knowg
aa The Blue Ribbon, which ha been cloaed
since tbe commencement of the famoua
saloon war. -
On motion- of Alderman Wbr It was
decided to clean the PeUlbon ditch all
the d is tan os to Spoon lake, construct cul
vert and erect bridge over it wher
deemed necessary.' One of the. bridge
will be at Ninth, avenue and will be thirty
two feet long and eight feet tn Width.
The contract, for tbe grading of Frank,
tin avenue was awarded to Ban-la, Boaley
Co., but the matter of letting the eon-
tract fo tho grading bf Avenues I and H
snd Ninth , and Tenth, street was laid
over until next October at the suggestion
of Alderman Maloney.
The request of Fire Chief Nicholson that
b be permitted to send a team and" crew
to tbe State tournament at Dea kjoUi,
June 1. was granted.
Resident on First avenue and Ninth
street protested against ths street sprink
ler taking on water at ths hdraat at
that point, and tho city marshal was In
structed to notify Contractor Green to All
hi sprinkler elsewhere.
Aldermen Tlnley, Crlppen. Tounkerman
and City Solicitor Snyder were appointed
a special committee to draft a new scav
enger ordinance providing for the licensing
of person engaging In this business and
fixing a scbeduls of price in place of. a
scavenger being appointed by the city, as
heretofore.

Recently It was learned they were in Kan
sas City and that ths young woman and
her infant baby were In destitute circum
stances. '
When Chief Riohmond "went to Kansas
City Saturday ho found tho young woman
occupying a small room, the rent of whloh
was paid by Jensen,- who after leaving
Council Bluffs and hi wif and two child
ren, had gone by the name of Everett Ed
wards. Jensen was found by Major Rich
mond at Mayview, Mo. He was engaged in
canvassing for a Sunday school publication
and was In a Sunday school when taken
Into custody. He at once consented Ko re

parents on Fairmont avenue, Jensen, who

istered mall to ensure her receiving It; ho
say he suggested that she secure a divorce
and ho would then marry Fanny. . Miss

DE3 MOINES, May t-(SpeclaL)-It I
vldcr.t that WSKism R. Hesrt ! not go
ing to tkke any chances on ths Votes he
hss bought In Iowa getting away from
him, for he has sent hero a group of his
trusted men to see that tha goods are de
livered as agreed. They Opened headquar
ters today, with C. E. Russell, managing
editor of Hearst's Chicago paper. In charge,
assisted by A. II. Lawrence, business man
ager at Chicago, snd Max Ihmsen of the
New York end of the newspaper syndicate.
Tho Hearst lieutenants have been coming
In early and making their report of work
done. The result of last Saturday' con
ventions fs discouraging to the antts, but
they sr preparing to make a show of
strength against Hearst. On the other
hand, the Hearst men have the air of
confidence and say that nothing can be
done now to prevent them from getting
the delegation.
Outslds of the Hearst managers but few
have SS yet srrlved for the democratic
convention. It la planned that a . large
number of tho old party leaders have ar
ranged to be here and by their numbers
and superior standing In the party hope
to be able to stem the tide snd prevent In
structions of sny kind. Ex-Governor Hor
ace Boles has written a-letter opposing In
structions snd Congressman Wade la ex
pected here In person to fight Instructions.
The Hearst men sprung a sensation today
by announcing that anti-Hearst men are
being brought here on free passes on the
railroads, and that the railroads are fight
ing Hearst. ! '
Laborers Will Sot Yield.
The members of vsrlous ciafts In tho
building trades In Des Moines havs defin
itely decided they will not return to rirk
for. their old employers under tho terms
the employers have laid down, but will In
sist on an agreement snd consideration
of tho demanda of both aides. The em
ployers have given out an ultimatum that
unless the men go . to work by Tuesday
they will be left out entirely. Nearly all
the union men have steady employment
now In small Jobs or have taken work and
contract- for themselves and there Is no
complaining among them. The contractor
say they are able to get nonunion men on
notice and will do so this week.
Shaw to Attend Convention.
It Is announced that Secretary Shaw
will come to Des Moines the middle of tho
month and attend tho republican state con
vention and speak before tho same. He
has not been in Iowa for over a year. It
Is regarded as probable that while In the
west he will accept Invitations for several
speeches. Colonel D. B. Henderson, who
Is soon to return to Iowa from New York
City, Is also to be at the state convention
and will address It. ' Henderson retired
suddenly .from the congressional racp two
years sgo after a unanimous nomination
and has since been engaged In business in
the east. Tho temporary chairman of the
republican convention will be John N. Ir
win of Keokuk, many years ago a prom
inent man In state politics, but practically
retired in recent years.
' .Oil Inspectors" Ternta.
Although tho terms of office of the four
teen state oil Inspectors do not expire until
the last of June, It Is probable that Gov
ernor Cummins will make the appoint
ments of heir successors very soon. This
Is almost made r.ecessary By the fact that
a new law has gone Into effect which re
