OTHERWISE OMAHA TO BE TERMINUS Clry Likely to Retaliate fcy Taklan ' Steps to Haee Franchlne Declared Forfeited for Failure to Comply st Kb Its Terms. The promoters of the Council Bluffs, Tabor & Southern Electric Railway com pany have delivered an ultimatum to Coun cil Bluffs. W. J. Dobbs, president of the company which proposes to build the line, and K. SI. Banger, representing a Boston financial house which expects to float the company's bonds at some future time, were In the city yesterday and conferred with individual members of the executive coni mlttee of the Commercial club, but declined to wait and nttend the regular meeting of th'o committee when their proposition could be formally discussed. The dell thrown down by Messrs. Dobbs and Sanger is, In brief, that unless the "citizens of Council Bluffs subscribe J100.0O0 toward tlje stock of the company Council Bluffs will be made- but a way station and Omaha will be the terminal of the proposed line. The demand of Messrs. Dobbs and Sanger was received with a cold shoulder by the Individual members of the executive committee, but they were asked to meet with the whole committee t Its weekly session yesterday afternoon, when the mat ter could be discussed. This, however, Messrs. Pobbs and Sanger declined to do, saying they had to return to Tabor. Bo far the city council has taken no action In the matter of annulling the fran chise granted the Tabor company, but it was stated yesterday afternoon that in view of the fact that the promoters were now attempting to hold a club over the city for the purpose of forcing local capi talists to take stock In the enterprise, steps would be taken to have the courts adjudge the franchise null and void for the reason that the provisions as to beginning the work of construction within a prescribed time had not been complied with and that the failure on the part of the company to commence the work of construction In a bona fide manner had forfeited ita r'ghts under the charter ordinance. The failure of the company to begin the construction of Its proposed line within the $lme prescribed by the ordinance hns cre ated the Impression In this city that the road will not be built and little credence is placed In the reiterated statements of I'resldent Dobbs and Promoter Sanger that It will be. In the event of tho company deotdlng to give Council Bluffs the cold shoulder and make Omaha Its terminus, steps. It Is snld, will be taken to prevent the roadbul!ding a single yard of Its lino through this city, the local authorities holding that the company has already for feited its charter by Its failure to com mence In good faith the work of construc tion of its line within the time prescribed In the ordinance. Although Messrs. Dobbs and Sanger were not present, the matter was discussed at the weekly meeting yesterday of the ex ecutive committee of' the Cpmmerclal club, and It was the general opinion that if the Tabor company attempted to give Council Bluffs the go-by it might find Itself with out a franchise through this city which would give it an Inlet to Omaha. The committee decided to await further devel opments before taking any action or asking the city council to do so. FIRST CASE ODER JUVENILE LAW Authorities Pnmr.led to Know What to Do with Boy. The local authorities were yesterday con fronted with the first case in this city under the new Juvenile law, and for n while were uncertain what to do with the young offender. Sheriff Canning, to whom the young defendant was turned over, solved the problem temporarily by placing him in St. Bernard's hospital in custody of the Bisters of Mercy. Hubert Thacker, a lB-year-old boy, llvlnf at 1807 South Fourteenth street, was taken Into custody, charged with assaulting Ruth Thursday, Aug. 4 to Ploaso tho Pooplo World.

Franks, a 7-year-old girl, with criminal Intent The girl lives at 4101 Sixteenth avenue. The new law provides that . no youth under the age of 1 years shall be placed In a jail where adult prisoners are confined and requires the Bard of County Super visors to furnish, a place of detention for such youthful offenders entirely dlstmct and separate from the city or county Jails. Buoh juvenile offenders must have their preliminary heating before a Judge of the district court, and not before the police judge or justice of the peace. There being no judge of the district court In the city holding court, the question of the disposition of young Thacker was re ferred to Sheriff Canning. After a consulta tion with Judge Green, who hnppened to be In the city, but not holding court. Sheriff Canning decided that the only place to put the lad was In St. Bernard's hospital. While the new law governing Juvenile offenders seems to apply only .to such as are guilty of misdemeanors. It does not appear to apply to those charged with an Indictable offense, such as young Thacker Is accused of. The question now up to the county attorney Is whether, considering the nature of the charge against him, young Thacker cannot be held for his preliminary hearing before Justice Ouren, In whose court the Information was filed. Judge Green expects to be In the city the early part of this week, and in the absence of Judge Wheeler the question will be submitted to him for his ruling. The Board of County Supervisors will meet In adjourned session Monday, at which time County Attorney Klllpack will call to their attention the provisions of the new law regarding Juvenile offenders, and It la expected It will make some ar rangements for the detention of such of endera against the law outside of the county Jail. It Is expected that a room will be fitted up In the county court house for the detention of youthful offenders. I Blar Show Coming;. Will be here August 4.

PILLS GIN ON TUB OFFICER Barglar Makes Desperate Attempt Gain Liberty on Way to Station. MARBHALLTOWN, la., July 80. (Spe cial.) Officer Joseph Edgar narrowly escaped having the top of his head blown off today by a man he was taking to Jull as a suspected burglar. The man was placed under arrest In con sequence of Information received from Oel- weln this morning to the effect that a Jewelry store there had been robbed and that tho thief was supposed to be In Mar- halltown trying to dispose of the stolen wares at a second-hand store. About o'clock Edgar came across a man who Is supposed to' be William O'Keep at Baes second-hand store and arrested him. While taking him to the Jail the prisoner sprung In front of the officer with the words, "I'll show you, d t- you." At the same time he stuck his gun In the officer's face. The officer grabbed the gun and in the scuffle the man pulled the trigger. The ball misses ICflgsr and Vwign in the leg of a bystander named Frank Waldo, causing s serious wound. Edgar's hand was badly lacerated by the hammer of the revolver and burned by the powder, as he had to hold the man's hand, and the bull barely missed him.

On his way to the Jail O'Keep dropped a com plete set of burglar skeleton keys. The police think they have a professional burg lar.

FRANK NOVAK IS SEEKING A PAROLE Wester Inloa Telegraph Company Enjolae Taxation ( Telegraph Lines Alone the Burling ton Railroad. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES. July 90. (8peclal.) What appears to be conclusive evidence that the deal for the transfer of the Newton & Northwestern railroad to the Rock Island is about to be consummated has Just been furnished at Newton. The fact that the Rock Island desires a connection for Its Gowrle line other than over leased lines, which would be necessary after the taking over of the Fort Dodge branch by the Minneapolis has long been known. Last weel: Vice President Stevens of the Rock Island went out over the Newton & Northwestern on a tour of Inspection. This week the matter of condemning land through Newton for a connection for the new line with the Montesuma branch of the Iowa Central has been under way and a sheriff's Jury had fixed prices on several tracts, when a telegram was received by the attorney in charge in which Hamilton Browne, president of the Newton road, asked that the condemnation proceedings be put off one week. This Is regarded as Indicating that the deaf- Is well advanced And that the Rock Island Is about to ac quire the property. It would make a fine connection for the Gowrle line of the Rock Island. Secure Vital Statistics. Secretary Kennedy of the State Board of Health has Just completed the new blanks for securing vital statistics of Iowa under a new law. These blanks go to the doctors of the state, who are required to make tu'.l and complete reports of all births and deaths in the state. Iowa had an old law requiring this, and under It there was col lected a vast amount of information as to vital statistics of the state, but the law was abandoned. The last legislature re vived the law and placed upon the phy sicians of the state the requirement that the reports be made. Tbey will be col lected and compiled by the State Board of Health.

The water system was purchased there under a long-time contract and is to be paid for out of -the regular rentals.

Agents for the packing houses have been at work In Des Moines securing men to work in the packing houses and large num bers have gone from this city to South Omaha and Kansas City. The men are generally inexperienced, but a few have done similar work In the independent pack lng houses of the state. No Bank Report Yet. Receiver Shaw, who has charge of the First National bank at Grinnell states that he desires another week before he gives out any statement as to the condition of the bank. The examination is being made thorough and in view of the fact that there was a shortage In the bank many years ago and this has been carried along by Cashier Spencer, who died last week, the examination will have to cover all the business for more than ten years.
