AFTER PART OF CITY PARK
Accretion at Big Lake Claimed at Portion
of the Abutting Land.
PARK BOARD FIGHTS THE CONTENTION
Case is Similar to Oae Decided la
Faror of the City by District
Court Some Months
Pre-vloaa..
The city has again been forced' Into
court to protect Its title to-a portion of
the land bordering on Big lake and known
officially as Rlvervlew park. J. P. Green
slilelds, In a foreclosure suit against R.
C. Howell and other, which was heard
and submitted to Judge Micy in dUtrict
court yesterday, claims certain accretions
to Big lake which for a number of years
have formed part of the city park north
Of the municipal limits. Te portion In
dlsputa is a strip embracing several acres
between the original meander line of the
lake shore and the present bank. The land
hua never been Improved. The suit la some
what similar to the one recently brought
by George S. Wright and George H.
Mayne against the Park Uoard and which
was decided in favor of the city. The
the three members of the Park board were
present at the hearing and testified on be
half of the city, the board being repre
sented by City Solicitor Snyder and Attor
ney C. M. Harl. The city Is the real de
fendant in the action, Howell merely being
a figurehead.
Judge Macy yesterday sustained the ap
plication of the motor company for the
transfer to the federal court of the 110,000
personal Injury damage suit brought
against it "by Miss Jeanette Brown, who
was seriously hurt while alighting from a
car In Omaha several months ago. In sus
taining the application Judge Macy re
frained from passing on the merits of the
resistance tiled by Miss. Brown, who made
affidavit to the effect she was resident of
Nebraska as well as the defendant com
pany; This point, tho court said, could be
determined by this Judge of the federal
court who, If he found for the plaintiff,
could remand the case back to the dis
trict court.
Shortly before the court adjourned for
the 'day Judge Macy began the hearing
in the ault of J. L. Price' against Jamea
Coyle In which the plaintiff auea for his
share in an alleged, partnership In the
buying and selling, of hay and farm prod
ucts. Coyle denies the existence xt any
partnership and asserts that Instead of
there being any profits resulting from
Price's purchases there was a loss of
about 1000.
Refuse to Receive Children.
The three young sons of N. H. Michel
son, whom the Board of County Super
visors ordered placed in the Iowa So'diers'
Orphans' home at Davenport, will not be
received . into that' institution. Colonel
Baker, chairman of the board, received
word yesterday from F. J. Sessions, super- I
intendent of the home, that the State Board
of Control had rejected the application.
Under the arrangement with the father of
the children, they were to be sent to the
ihome for one year, Mlchelson . deposltln.
with the county auditor $218 to insure th.
couity against any expense in the matter.
The State Board of Control refused to
sanction the admission of the children on
the grounds that the application embodied
a contract to the effect that the children
were not to be kept in the home for more
than one year and It did not oonslder It ex
pedient that such a contract be made.
The family until recently resided In Min
den, where th mother committed suicide.
The children are said to be in Davenport
now and it waa understood that the father
was planning to remove there. The board
when In session last week, refused to ac
cept any responsibility on behalf of the
children, but when Mlchelson offered to put
up sufficient money to Insure the county
against expense for their care, consented
to send them to the Davenport home. Mlch
elson will now be required to care for the
children Independent of this county.
Mra. Gibson Discharged.
The case against Mra. Lily Gibson,
charged with kidnaping her 12-year-old
daughter, Ruby Whittlesey, waa dismissed
In Justice Ouren's court yesterday morn
ing, an amicable arrangement having been
reached between her and her former hus
band, Russel N. Whittlesey. At the time
of Mrs. Gibson's divorce from Whittlesey a
child, under order of the eeurt, was placed
In the care of her uncle, W. B. Fisher. By
mutual agreement of all parties concerned
yesterday, application- was made to ths
district court to have Mrs. Addle Adams
of Crescent City, a sister of Mrs. Gibson,
appointed guardian of the child.
After. Mrs. Gibson and the child were
brought back from Omaha Tuesday night
it was nearly Z o'clock yesterday morning
before Justice Ouren, In whose court the
Information charging Mrs. Gibson with
kidnaping, could be reached. Justice Ouren
ordered that the child, for the night, be
taken In charge by Mr. Fisher, and Mrs.
Gibson was permitted to go without bond,
Mr. Fisher announcing that the charge
against her would be dismissed In the
morning.

EDITOR ASKS FOR DAMAGES
Forner Connrll Blnffs Newspaper Man
Starts Sensational Salt at Onawa,
ONAWA, la., Sept. 14. (Special.) A sen
sational damage suit has been commenced
which will attract considerable 'Interest In
this part of Iowa and particularly on the
east side of Monona county, where the
parties are all well known.
The original notice In the case was served
today and is entitled C. E. Campbell
against J. J. Peck, Nellle K. and Mollis
Peck, and Rev. T. B. Smith. Twenty
thousand dollars damages are demanded
"because of damages sustained by plaintiff
on account of libel, slander, conspiracy to
injure, alienation of wives' affections and
conspiracy to alienate said wives' affec
tions." L. J. Scott of Council Bluffs Is the at
torney and will be assisted by Henry
Bowera of Clinton and Clarence Darrow
of Chicago, all well known and prominent
attorneys.
The plaintiff says that nineteen ex-Cath-ollc
priests will be summoned as wit
nesses. C. E. CampbeU-, the plaintiff, Is
the editor and owner of the Moorhend
Times and Soldier ' Record, and has lived
in Monona county three or four years,
coming here from Council Bluffs wheri he
was engaged aa a newspaper man. J. J.
Peck Is one of the best known farmers on
the east side of the county and lives In
Spring Valley township, near the town of
Moorhead. He was formerly sheriff of
Harrison county and has a large ac
quaintance; Nellie and Mollle Peck are
his daughters. Rev. T. B. Bmlth Ms a

priest In charge of the parishes of Onawa,
Blencoe and Hornlck.
Mr. Campbell was married about two
years ago to a daughter of J. J. Peck,
but his wife is not living with him at
present, and the troubles, according to his
atory, sprang from a difference In re
ligious views and haa now become a sort
of a family affair with considerable feeling
on both sides.

PENAL LAWS NEED REVISING
Chairman of Beard of Control Delmrs an
Address on the Subject.
SOME PROGRESS MADE IN THAT RESPECT
Samber of Dates for Speakers An
nounced by the Breakers' Rareaa
of the Repabllcaa State
Committee,
(From a Staff -Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Sept. 14. (Special.) At
the quarterly conference of heads of state
Institutions today. Chairman O. S. Robert
son of Sioux City denounced the present
condition of the penal laws of the atate of
Iowa and argued for a great Improvement.
"The penal laws of this state," he said,
"are In many respects unsatisfactory, nev
ertheless public sentiment Is being formed
along right lines, and there are already
signs of an awakening which will lead to a
long needed advance in penal and reforma
tory legislation." Some progress has been
made In Iowa. A Juvenile court law was
i enacted by ths last legislature, but for
fear Df incurring some expense it was made
, i
inoperative. The Indeterminate sentence Is
not only In force In Iowa to a limited ex
tent, but the success with which It has been
applied is a strong argument In favor of Its
extension. It is authorized thus far only
for boys and girls committed to the state
industrial schools. The best obtainable
statistics show that four-fifths of all who
are refeased from these Fchools become
law abiding and useful citizens. Attempts
have been made to extend the reformatory
and Indeterminate sentence feature of the
law governing the industrial schools to
convicts in our penitentiaries, who, al
though older, are still young and amend
able to reformatory Influences. Legisla
tion has thus far failed, trut a step In that
direction has been taken by providing a
legislative Investigating committee to re
port on the beat plan to be adopted.
Abandon Regimental Journey.
The officers of the Fifty-fourth regiment,
Iowa National Guard, have been planning
a long time to take the regiment to St.
Louis as a body and attend the exposition,
and some time ago secured from Governor
Cummins specific permission to take the
regiment out of the state, but entirely at
the expense of the members and on condi
tion that it would go as a body under a field
officer. Now It is found that the expense
would be so great to members thnt they
refuse to go and some companies have al
ready voted against mnklng the trip. The
whole scheme will therefore be abandoned.
More Date- for Speakers.
Manager McNeely of the republican
speakers' bureau, today, announced he had
made the following now date for speakers:
Governor Cummins at Iowa Falls, October
6, and at Jefferson October 6, the latter in
the afternoon. Congressman John F. Lacey

Governor Cummins went to Webster City
today, where, this evening, he delivered a
lecture under the auspices of the Christian
church there for some charitable purpose.

tives are scouring the country today in
search of three peddlers ot tinware, a

Perry Carnival a Snrrraa.
PERRY, la., Sept. 14. (Special Telegram.)
The carnival and street fair Is a great
success, Judging from the crowd yesterday,
when it was raining and coo), but today
Pluvlus smiled on Perry, and the corona
tion of the carnival queen, Miss Reglna
Meadow Cold Butter is a perfect butter for camp and picnic. First, because it
is a pure, wholesome and delicious product; and second, because it is sealed at
the creamery in airtight packages
which keep it fresh and clean until
the last morsel is eaten. It keeps
hard and firm under conditions which
melt ordinary butter. Try it to-day,
and take a supply on your next
outing.
BEATRICE CREAMERY COMPANY,
10th and Howard Sts.
Welch, was pulled off before a crowd of
several thousand people. The Ceremony

esty by T. H. White, president of the car
nival, and the keys of the city by Mayor
Tyer. At the close of the ceremony the

Good attractions are promised for the tOl
ance of the week, and a large crowd Is ex
pected for each day, assuring the success
of the carnival.

NO HOPE FOR RUSSIAN JEWS
Efforts to Secure Recognition of American
Passports Considered Hopeless.
ST. PETERSBURG PAPER IS SEVERE
Saya that Knaala , Will Mnnae Its
Own Affairs and Questions
Reported Action of
Inlted States.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 14-12 30 p. m.
The fact that the government of the United
Stfites through Ambassador McCormlck,
had opened negotiations with the Russian
government with the .object of obtaining
recognition of Jewish passports In Russia
la not generally known here. Even the
Journal De St. Petersburg, the semi-official
organ of the Foreign offlee receives the re
port drifting back through the foreign
press with Increduallty. The Journal refer
editorially to what It calls a "stuplfylng"
article in the Paris Slecle representing
President Roosevelt ss a new Moaes seek
ing to impose on Russian liberal treat
ment of Russian Jews naturalised In the
United States and Pobedonosteff. (procurer
rjreneral of the holy synod) as Russia's
evil genius, and says:
Have those who have written or Inspired
the artlole weighed tho temerity of the
chimera, a realizntlon of which would be
an Insult to Russia?
After nrgulng at length the reasons for
the Russian Jewish laws the Journal pro
ceeds: Washington says "your restrictive laws
are barbarous. We condemn them. We
will breach them." Washington dHlms that
Russian Jens naturalized In the Inlted
Plates are entitled to escape the laws of
tho empire, or the dlRnity of th United
would be surrendered. No, a thousand
tlrno no.
Deny Riant to Make Overtures.
The presttlge of the United States will
not suffer. We deny, and always will deny,
that a foreign country has the right to
make overtures for the classlllrntTon of
our population under the iirtion of rights
acquired by naturalization In America. A
simple statement of the case di motistrates
Its enormity. American citizens ate
always welcome and will always
enjoy treatment similar to the citizens of
other countries. Hut that does not prevent
our specifying conditions under which for
eign subjects can enter the empire. If we
wished to limit Immigration as America
does, If we wished to stop Chinese Immi
gration as America does, who would deny
our right to do so? Even If we reserved to
ourselves the right of limiting the domicil
iary privileges of native born Americans
who were not christians, we would have
the right to do so. Consequently, with
greater reason, we have the right to atop
refugee RiiMinn lsrenlltes who might go
to the United Slates and simply exchange
passports to swarm back afterwards, sweep
away the territorial dykes and upon the
slightest provocation appnul to the ever
vigilant protection of the consulates of
the land with which, aa a mutter of fact,
they have no tie. Under artificial protection
they would thus create a sore-bony politic,
Once more, we refuse to believe that
President Roosevelt, who has given so
many evidences of political tact, has en
trusted the American ambassador at St.
Petersburg with such a mission.
- Further orWwer hiis been given to Mr.
McCormlck In the matter, but all hppe
that Russlc will even undertake to enter
tain the American proposals is practically
abandoned.
