CITY DOES XOT OWX THE STREET
Coart Passes oa Title to taper Har
rison Street. '
According to the ik-clHlon handed down
yesterday In the district court by Judge
Thornell In the suit of C. D. Dillon and
others against the city of Council Blufffl,
what Is known as I'pper, Harrison street
Is not a public thoroughfare and the city
haa no right to use it for public travel.
t'Pper Harrison street, which haa been
used as a public, thoroughfare for, thirty
years, or more, uoes not follow the original
platted line of the highway, but meander
back nnd forth and across lota,' according
to the lay of the land, through what la
known as Oulesburg addition. - Tb city
waa unable to claim avere possession bf
reason of the thoroughfare having" peen
open to public travel ftc oyer twenty year
for the reason that It has been collecting
taxea' all tliewo yeur Trorh fhe lot owners
across whose property the street meanders.
In two or three instance it wa--hown
that the street -occupies practically. 4 tie
entire lot. ; ' " , ; !,: :.T J
Lndvr Judge Thornell's decision- the prop
erty owners across whose lots the street
how creases will be privileged to 'fence off
the thoroughfare, .and thare will be do
outlet from I'pper Harrison street .unless
the city settlos with the property owner
whose ground haa heretofore been, taken
by the street. The city can acquire title
to th-Jand needed for the proper opening
of the street by the regulur condemnation
proceedings. To reopen the street It 1
estimated will cost the city aljout $2,000.
The. Jury In the case of Mr. Alice Shields
of Underwood against- Calvin- Shafof, a
liveryman of thla olty,; from ' wbcn, the
plaintiff purchased a horie which it wa
alleged proved to be anything but a rtpre-
upper tlmo came and Mr. Wareham did If"!' y"1"1 brought, ln'a verdict for
not return home, she became alarmed and ! h Wn.lch- Ju8t tU9 than Mra. Shields
sent word to the police station. Cap
tain O'Neli, a personal friend of Mr. Ware
ham, was sent to search for the missing
man. He finally traced him to the Martens
hotel and on going to his room found the
door locked on the Inside.
It wa necessary to send a boy through
the. transom and open the door from the
Inside. Mr. Wareham wa found lying
on the tcd, fully dressed with the exception
of hla overcoat and hat, which he had
placed on a chair. The coverlid waa pulled
up over hia head and Captain O'Neli on
pulling this down discovered that the un
fortunate man had cut hi throat. The
blood had poured from the three jagged
wounda, saturating hi clothing and the
bed clothes. By hi side under the quilt
was found a small raior, covered with
blood and the point broken off.
Dr. Macrae was summoned and after the
gashes in the throat had " been sewn up
Mr. Wareham was removed to Mercy hos
pital. ,
Mr. Wareham haa for a number of year
been more or less prominent in local poli
tics, being an ardent democrat and under
Mayor Jennng served as health, officer.
He own some property and enjoyed a
sufficient income to maintain himself with
out being forced to work. '

5 O'clock, committed suicide by throwing
himself under the train just as It was

cade Locks, Ore., where a relative, Lulgl
Balsarlnl, Uvea. He wa occupying a seat
in the smoking car when the train reached
Council Bluffs and there was notfflng in
his manner to Indicate that there was any

went out onto the rear platform of the

for a drink of water, and- a the latter
hastened to comply with the request Balxui
rlnl Jumped from tho . chair ahd through
the open door of the car. A the tralii
wa but crawling at the time he landed
all right on hla feet, and the next moment
plunged . headforemost -under the wheels..
The wheels went over the man's neck,
severing the head from the body, which
lay outside the rails. The train was
slopped and tho nntit s remains picked up
and taken to the trunsfer depot aikt later

man 'sitting In the arhoklng car, but there
wo nothing about him or hi manner to
attract particular attention.' After, we
ptoked him up when he Jirst threw hlmsMf
under the train I asked him what he did
It for, but a the fellow answered in Italian
I could not understand what he wa- trying
to tell. I thought his leg was so badly
Injured when w placed him in the baggage

The city council, when it meets in ad

to rescind Its action of Monday night in
refunding the taxes on Union Driving park.

the matter due and careful consideration.
Mayor Macrae stated yesterday that the
council In consenting to refund the tases

DOMINICAN PROTOCOL SIGNED
Island Government Agrees to Docu
ment Which Will Be Snbmlt.
ted to Senate.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. M'nlster Dawson
has cabled the State department from 8an
Domingo that the new protocol providing
for the administration of San Domingo
finances by the United States was signed
yesterday. The document Is expected here
early next week and will be submitted Im
mediately to the senate.
It 1b drawn on the lines of the original
protocol as far n concerns the adminis
tration of the customs by officials de
signated by the United States and the se
gregation of a portion of the customs re
ceipt to defray the foreign Indebtedness
of the country. No date Is set In the docu
ment for the beginning of this administra
tion and that will be left for the senate to
Insert.
An important feature of the protocol is
the omission of the provision in the original
memorandum of January 21, guaranteeing
the Integrity of Ban Domingo. The new
document simply bfnds the United States
to respect the Integrity of Dominican terri
tory. The Monroe doctrine is regarded as
sufficient to convey the broadest guaranty.
It is also provided that the new protocol
must, before coming effective, be approved
not only by the United States senate, but
by the Dominican congress, and this pro
viso makes it lmpopslble to define the pre
cise date upon which the agreement will
begin to operate. As the protocol Is re
garded as executive business the State de
partment does not-feel at liberty to make
publlo the text pending Its disposal by the
senate. . , . ,
SANTO DOMINGO, Feb. 8.-The task of
revising and- amending the convention of
January 20 between the United States nnd
the Republic of Santo Domingo under
which the former government is to under
take the financial administration of Santo
Domingo until the claims of certain for
eign powers are adjusted and sa; fled, has
been completed. ..The first action- Is but
slightly altered., while the second section
Is greatly modified, the Amerloan govern
ment agreeing to completely respect the
territorial Integrity of Santo Domingo. The
convention or protocol specifically affirms
the Monroe doctrine. The customs officials
are to be subject to -the-civil and' penal
Jurisdiction of the Dominican remiblie.

government. There Is to be paid to the'
Dominican government 4fl tier nant nf h'.
gross amount collected In all the custom j
houses of the republic, that proportion of i
the revenues being for the necessities of
tho administrative budget. The estimate
In the protocol of January 20 that this
45 per cent shall be aoo,000 for the first
year Is eliminated, as is also' the agree
ment ''that the extraordinary expenses
which may be occasioned in the collection
of the customs shall be made for the ao
count of the creditors of the republic of
Santo Domingo without assigning to the
latter any part thereof." Any reform of
the Dominican tariff Is to be subjected to
approval by the president of the United
States. There shall be no increase of ex
port duties or of the public debt of Santo
Domingo, but export duties may be re
duced or abolished by the authority of the
American government on the request of the
Dominican government.
The government pledges Itself to give all
necessary aid to the American government
In carrying out the purposes of the con.
ventlon as the latter may deem convenient
' Tho convention will not take effect until
It shall have been ratified by the American
senate and the Dominican congress and
will remain in force for such time as may
be necessary for the amortisation of the
Dominican republic's debt. The country re
