SECOND ONE CHANGES ALL BUT ONE PLACE
W. F. fa p. to Be ll ( lerk anil lap.
tain Holirrl Jones to Be Chief of
Fire Department Mayor
Appoints Poller.
Republican councllmeu-elect and other
party leaders held a caucus Tuesday at
which the council appointments were de
cided upon and the policy of the republican
majority in the city council practically
defined.
Later In the day a second caucus of Ihe
couiicilmcn was held and the result of the
lirst one overturned. The slate us Dually
agreed upon Is as follows:
City Clerk W. F. Sapp.
Chlet of Fire Department Robert W.
Jones, captain No. 1 hook and bidder com
pany. ''
City Electrician James G. Bradley.
Street Supervisor George Rockwell.
Sidewalk Insector Jim Peterson.
Custodian of City Hall William Larson.
Poll Tax Collector D. J. Whitlaker.
Poundmaster Charles Burke.
W. F. Sapp, who headed the republican
ticket. Is to be compensated for his defeat
at the polls by receiving the appointment
of city clerk. No decision, however, was
reached as to the deputy city clerk. The
city clerk, theoretically, has the naming of
hla deputy, but It is no secret that the
councllmen have a good deal to say us to
tho appointment. Mr. Sapp, It Is under
stood, is anxious to retain E. R. Bowman,
the present deputy, but H. A. Balrd, D. J.
Whltaker and T. L. Hall are applicants fur
the position.
The first caucus favored John L. Temple
ton for chief of the fire department. Two
years ago Templeton had to step down and
out to make way for Charles M. Nicholson,
the democratic appointee, and many repub
licans now feel that it would only be fall
to Templeton to reinstate him.
The caucus decided on replacing City Elec
trician Atkins with a republican and It la
understood that ihe position will be offered
to Ed Carr, electrician for the motor com
pany, but it was not known yesterday
whether Mr. Carr would accept the place
or not. James G. Bradley, who held the
position for a numlwr of years, but was re
moved to make way for Mr. Alklns, Is an
applicant for the appointment.
Theodore Gull tar waa slated for street
commissioner, but he yesterday stated that
ho did not want the Job and would decline
the appointment, Joha Halle, formerly trus
tee tor Kane township, was to be rewarded
with the appointment of sidewalk Inspector,
while John Taylor was to be offered the
appointment of poundmaster.
William Larson. Janitor at the North
Eighth Street school, was the choice for
custodian of the city hall, the salary of
which is STiD per annum.
The appointment of the members of the
police force la one of the perquisites of the
mayor's office and It la understood that at
the caucus Tuesday night It wna decided
to respect the mayor's prerogative and not
Interfere with his appointments. The -chief
and members of the police force will be
named next Monday night by Maynf
Macrae, while the chief of the fire depart
ment and other appointees will be elected
by ballot by the eight members of the city
council, six of'whom are republicans.

FLOOD O THE CEDAR RIVER
Waterloo and Cedi Falls M offer from
the Overflow.
WATERLOO, la., March IW.-The water
In the Cedar river rose over eleven feet
last night and early today broke the weat
le und flooded the business district of
V cj'loo. . Hundreds of families we're
rendered homeless. Rock Island tracks
were washed out for half a mile and all
railroads are tied up. Cedar Falls reports
a similar disaster and J00 ramiles there
were driven from their homes. Bridges
and dams were also wiped out. At 7
o'clock, the waters came to a standstill
and danger for the present is believed to
over.
WEBSTER CITY, la.. March 28.-(Spe-cial
Telegram.) Boone river Is on a ram
page and out of Its banks. Bottoms are
flooded and residents of the east side and
the flats are preparing to move. The water
Is up to their doors, but has remained sta
tionary today. Indications,- however, .are
for rain and a further rise. Danger to the
Northwestern tracks ia imminent should
the water go higher.
ATLANTIC, Ia.. March 28.-(8pecial.)
The creeks and streams In this vicinity are
all out of banks and covering the bottoms
like great lakes as the result of the frost
coming out of the ground and the" heav
rains of the past few days. Rural carriers
are experiencing difficulty in making their
rounds. For two days traffic from the
euat has been cut off by the rise In
Troubleaome creek and the business of
the town has suffered from the condition
of the roads.
Uautaar Case Mettled.
SIDNEY, la.. March 28.-Speclal. i-The
case of Owen Cavanaugh, who brought
suit for JJO.OOO damages against Henry
Parkison and nine other prominent citi
zens of Perclval, was assigned for this
morning In .tho district court here, but
was settled between the parties. The
terms of settlement have not been made
public. Cavanaugh was shot by Parkison
something over a year ago and the former
alleged In his petition that the other de
fendants at that time maltreated him.
The shooting grew out of offensive re
marks made by Cavanaugh concerning
Parklson'a wife.

LABOR BILL IN GREAT BRITAIN
Government Introduces Measure Desieuod to
Offset Taff Vale Decision.
ATTEMPT TO TAKE A MIDDLE COURSE

Labor Members and Many Liberals
' I ntonlata Jnbllant Over
I net lea I Mistake.
i
IvONDUX, March IS. Tno ttadc disputes
bill, which is a direct outcome of the Taff
Vale decision, which held that trades union
funds are liable for the Illegal acts of In
dividual members ot a union, was Intro
duced In the House of Co, unions today by
the attorney general. Sir J. Lawson Wal
ton. In explaining the features of the
measure he said that the recent court de
risions had seriously curtailed the useful
ness of trades unions. Their undoubted
rights of - peaceful persuasion had been
cut down to the point of extinction und
funds contributed to provide agnlnxt sick
ness and luck of employment hud been held
liable to meet claims based on the repudi
ated acts of unauthorized official.
The present bill provides thut no act of
a trades union shall be held to be unlawful
If surh act Is lawful when committed by
an Individual. It sets forth In express
terms the right of peaceful picketing, which
the attorney general do.iared was an es
sential part of the right to strike and de
fines the law of agency as applied to trades
union funds for any act unless It la per
fectly clear that . the act was authorized
by th governing body of tho union.
In regard to the deman for the com
plete Immunity of trades union funds from
attack the attorney general declared that
he did not think It right to create a special
privilege for th proletariat. If the hill
did not fulfil the expectations of the trades
union, the government At least hud done
Its best to solve the thorny problem.
Labor Members Object.
This statement, which closed the, attor
ney general's speech, was greeted with
shouts of "no", from the benches occupied
by the labor party members of parliament.
It speedily became evident that the gov
ernment's measure wus not at all to the
liking of the labor members, who before Us
Introduction decli.red their opopsitinu to
anything short of complete immunity for
union funds. In their opposition to the
bill the labor members are supported by the
Irish and many ministerial members and
u I: less the government measure Is extended
so as to give union funds complete Im
munity from claims for damages arising
from strikes the lubor members will test
the opinion of the house with a bill which
they have, prepared. Tho Irish will HHk
to have the bill extended to include Irish
farmers and others who ure oieii to unfair
treatment. ,
The trades dispute bill, which was reud
for the tlrtt time today, will be fought
on Ita second reading in committee.
BUI Pleases ftobody.

themselves, s strong minority being against
a complete concession ' to labor views, and
I lie compromise adopted apparently pleases
noliody. The Incident Is tho snhjoct of
unanimous and keen - regret on the part
of the liberal newspaper this morning,
because, they say. It bus already become,
known that the government will yield by
leaving the question to the decision of the
house and that the -result of this will he
a great loss of prestige to the government.
Hesides, the papers say. It is almost cer
tain to meet with opposition In Ihe House
of Lords, which will send the bill back te.
the House of Commons shorn of tho clause
granting immunity to trades unions ami
possibly of other Important features which
probably Would have been accepted had th
government boldly faced the problem.
The House of Lirdw, the newspapers de
clare, will now point to Ihe govemment'i .
own course as Justification for Its reject
ing the Immunity cluuse. The ' unionist
organs naturally are jubilant, pointing
out that this action is In fulfillment of theli
predictions of the danger of the govern
ment's unwieldy majority and heralding II
us the brglnning of the disintegration Ol
