THE OMAHA DAILY IJKK: SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1D0( 15 NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA COUNCIL Office, 10 Pearl BOARD SESSION IS LIVELY Aotion of Supervisor Baker Hot Relished by Bis Fellow Members. STARTS OVER BILL FOR A ROAD GRADER Hill for Hardwood Umbrr for lae la R rid gee Alio Caaeea Claah, bn the . Colonel Carrlee Ilia Foln. The session of the boaro of county su pervisor yesterday wan replete with ar gument of a decidedly arrlmoiJnu nature. The action of Colonel W. V. Uukcr in ex tending few) on a road grader without first obtaining the sanction of the entire board started the bull rolling and the other mem ber were up in arm. Colonel Dakcr showed that the grader had been pur chased out of the city's proportion of the county road fund, but the other members contended that the machine should have been purchased, if -fit all, out of the regu lar road fund and only with the sanction of the whole board. . After considerable oratory, which at times was almost torrid in Ha character, the bill for the grader was Allowed. Then when Colonel Bilker's bills for hard wood lumber and other material for county bridges In his district came up there was more heated discussion and the doughy colonel found the ether members of the board arrayed In solid phalanx against him. Colonel Baker replied with more or less warmth to the criticisms of his fellow supervisors and the atmosphere of the room became so tropical that County Audi tor Cheyne felt called upon to open the windows. Colonel Baker, however, suc ceeded In having ' the bills allowed, but during the remainder of the session It was apparent that there was a certain amount of restraint or coolness between him and the other members. At the close of the meeting none of the members cared to dls cubs the Incident lieyond admitting that there had been some heated talk during the session. Attorney W. A. Mynster, on the certlfl eat of Judge Thornell of the district court, to whom the claim had been referred by County Attorney Hess, was allowed $240 for his services In taking He case of O. Rogers, convicted for the murder of Saloonkeeper Forney, to the supreme court. .Mynster originally claimed $300 for his service, he having been appointed by the court to defend Rogers. F. M Cunningham was allowed $1.WN) commission under his former contract with the county aa tax ferret, on the amount paid In by Stewart Brothers, under the compromise recently effected between that firm and the county. . T. A. Klrkwood, one of the property owners who signed the original petition 1UL mis caiauiiDiiiiiciii : . viiv a - . ...... drainage ditch, filed notice of his desire to withdraw his consent and same waa re ferred to the county attorney. The county auditor waa directed to have a water meter Installed In the county Jail. When the bills for water supplied tha. court house and jail were presented the member .of. tha board decided there must lie something wrong. Last year the" total cost of water of both buildings was Jtit.lfl. while the bill for tha three months of this year aggregated $389.86. The board felt certain that such an amount of water could not have been used without there was a leak somewhere, and the bills were held up pending an investigation.

Judge Wheeler of the district court has Issued a decree, although It has not yet been entered on the court records, making permanent the temporary injunction se cured by the board of park commissioners of Council Bluffs restraining Secretary of State Martin from selling to the Illinois Central railroad a strip 200 feet in width through Big lake, or as it is officially known, Iikevlew park. Since the suit waa begun the general assembly has passed an act surrendering all of the state's title in the lake and ac creted land to the city of Council Bluffs. The Illinois Central was originally granted a right-of-way 100 feet In width by the park board through Ixkevlew park, but fearing that under the law granting the state the right to dispose of abandoned river beds some one might purchase the land, filed an application with the secretary of state to purchase an additional fifty feet on each side of Its right-of-way. The suit to enjoin the sale by the state of any portion of Lakeview park to the Illinois Central was Instituted by the park board last July. Real testate Tra oarers.

In answer to a letter signed by a dosen or more republicans of Des Moines asking him to file his affidavit and enter the Polk county primaries for governor. George D. Perkins of Sioux City today filed his affida vit and his name will go on the primary ballots In opposition to that of Governor Cummins.

In answer, he states that he will accept the invitation and speak In Des Moines at a date yet to be determined. I.ealalntnre Haa Adjoaraed. While the record shows that the senate and house adjourned at U o'clock, today, noon. In reality they did not adjourn until 7 p. m. "The greater part of the afternoon In both houses was spent In making speeches, while both houses were waiting for the commit ters on enrolled bills to conclude their work so that all the bills could be signed In the presence of the respective house by the presiding officers. The speeches of many of the members of both houses were their last a members of the bodies and were filled with expres sions of good feeling. Lieutenant Governor Herrlott read an address in which he dep recated the accusations of corruption againBt legislatures and asserted that "never has the work of legislation in Iowa been so free from Insidious and subterran , ean influence adverse to public honesty as during the session that close today." The Dally Capital tonight say President Herriott's address is a denial of Cummins' lobby charges. ' Compliments Speaker Clarke. Before adjournment of the house today there was the usual exchange ot compli ments between members and officers. Mr. Springer, democrat, presented a resolution highly eulogistic of Speaker George W. Clarke and expressing thanks for the man ner in which he has presided. In moving Its adoption he referred to the fact that two years ago Clarke had been unanimously elected speaker and again this year, some thing never before known in the history of the state, and the members had always been treated well. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. Resolutions complimentary to Chief Olerk R. C. Benedict of Shelby county and his assistants were passed and a resolution glv ilng to Speaker Clarke the desk In his pri vate office. On returning to preside Mr. Clarke spoke feelingly of the uniform kindness of mem bers toward him and of his good feelings toward each and everyone. A resolution was ' passea on motion of Mr. Freeman that members may take home their chairs on paying for the same. Mlllage Taxes. The most interesting work of any con- ference committee during the day was on the mlllage taxes for the state edu catlonal Institutions.. The two houses had voted continuance of the mlllage taxes under which the college are being built up, but the senate had added that plans for all buildings must be submitted to the legislature. Members of the house be lieve that this virtually nullifies the pur pose of the law and objected. The con ference committee, however, insisted on re taining the objectionable amendment, but the house members secured some conces slons. The trustees are authorized to deviate to the extent of $26,000 from the plans approved by the legislature and to build emergency buildings while the legis lature is not in session. The local boards ure ulso authorized to employ their own architect. Specific approval was given for the erection of a hall of agriculture at Ames at a cost not to exceed $260,000. In this form the mlllage bills were passed giving the university and state college one-fifth mill .tax and the normal school half as much for five years. The $50,000 appropriation for the state historical building In Des Molne wa ap proved by the house. An effort wa be i I" made to reduce this amount, but the hill nassed. Other bill passed by the house and thus finished were the senate districting bill; fixing terms of superior court; fixing time when the statute of limitations shall i begin in case of embezzlement by exeou ! , . . ,. , " tors; an appropriation for a monument to ex-Governor Stone; providing that the old est Judge of the supreme court shall be chief Justice where two are equally en titled under the law to preside; exempt Ing funds of fraternal insurance com panics lrom assesment; and a bill pro viding how actions may be brought where a note Is estolen. i Give Garst a lane. senator uarst, chairman of the appro priations committee and a candidate for lieutenant governor, was presented with gold-headed cane by the members of the committee today. Senate Adjoaraa. With expressions of good feeling the senate adjourned late this afternoon. There were speeches, but ths greater part of the 'afternoon and some of the morning waa spent In waiting for the conference committee to get together on various mat ters of detail. The killed bills this year were with the senate, tha house having cleaned up everything. In the sifting com mlttee'a hands In ths senate the family 1 "'' bill, exemption bill and number the law the support fund of the Institution has been used for that purpose. The sen ate passed a bill permitting the trustees of the State college at Ames' to contract with the auhorlties of the city of Anus for the collection and disposal of sewerage usual appropriations. The aenat com mittee on pardon reported to the aentitt) that the legislature haa no Jurisdiction to commute the sentence of Busse and Smith, who are sentenced to hang this month at the penitentiary and the report was adopted. An effort was made to call up the appropriation made In tha house of $10.0i'O for an exhibit at th Jamestown exposition. Benator Dowell, who wa In the chair, ruled that it would require a two-third vote to get it from th corn- mlttea and the vote, on roll call. l le than half. The senate adopted the confer ence committee report on the mlllage bfll. Teoare of Olllee. The conference committee were held up for two hours on the tenure of o.,lce bills and finally reached a conclusion, the sen ate receding on the six year term for the railroad commissioner and the house re ceding on supervisors. The report favored a two year term for township trustees, electing all township trustees at each elec tion; railroad commissioner are to be elected for four year terms, two being elected at one election and one at the next; supervisor are to be elected for a three year term, a part of the board not taking office until one year after his elec tion. Insnranee Committee. Just before adjourning President Her rlott announced the appointment of Jami son of Clarke and Dunham ot Delaware, a the Insurance commission to serve with committee of three from the house. Speaker Clarke appointed Kendall. Jones and Clary on the Insurance commission. SCHANDEIN CASE SETTLED Part lea ta "alt Over Milwaukee Woman's Will Get Together Oat of Conrt.

April 6.-Allen W, Murphy of Berkeley, who has been vice consul at Tien Tsln, China, for more than three years, arrived from the orient ye- tarHav nn th IpftnNnnrt hurlHgn Snab. V.U VM " - - I " " ..... f V Ing of the situation in China, Mr. Murphy said: There are undoubtedly strong disruptive forces at work in China, with no real gov ernment to control them. A crisis may arrive at any moment demanding the in tervention of an armed force for ths pro tection of th foreign residents. The boycott on American goods, which was not considered serious at first, has certainly taken on a serious aspect, and the agitation is by no means over. In tha north the boycott, was suppressed by Yuan Shlh Kaft viceroy of Chile province. North. ern China Is now In a peaceful state and there are no signs of unrest there. In the south the movement has received a degree of encouragement from the of ficial class. Large quantities of American f roods that were shipped last year are still ii China warehouses because the con signees refused to- accept them. I do not think that the next report or trade con ditlrns will show that our exports to China have increased. ELECTION FRAUD ALLEGED Chicago Mar Have Beea Aathorlsed ta Operate Its Street far Liar.
