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

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. From
Janitor Humphrey the board learned that

Unjoined from Selling" Park.
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.

profession out of the state, he having In
the meantime removed to the state of

entered Into by him not to practice law
In the state of Iowa.
The hearing on the charge which re
sulted In Converse' disbarment wa held

"parks" will become private pastures for
persons living near them who own 'cows.
Commissioner Graham stated yesterday In

of Momlngslde the two parks in question
would not be fenced, but merely cleared

DES MOINES, April . (Special.) In

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

and Rathbun will take the same course.

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

Congressmen and some naval officers who
favor this plan say that one benefit would
be that boy would have a chance to dis
cover their own unfitness for a sea life be
fore reaching the academy. It Is pointed
out that some officers are always sick at
sea and many would resign for that reason.
but think it is too late to take up another
line of work. On a recent cruise of an
American warship the executive officer was

Secretary Bonaparte, however, does not
favor the plan and will not recommend It

Ing of the situation in China, Mr. Murphy
said:
There are undoubtedly strong disruptive
forces at work in China, with no real gov

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.

LONDON, April . In the House of Com

second reading of the bill to remove re
strictions on ths importation of Canadian
cattle. Existing conditions, he said, were

moval of th restrictions would not affect
the value of Irish cattle. . '
The members who opposed the bill based
their objections on . ths risk of the re-
Introduction Into Great Britain of the foot-

if the restrictions were removed It would
render at least iOO.OOO holdings In Ireland
absolutely unprofitable and would destroy
the Irish cattle trade.
Finally, ths Cairns bill was chalked out
