'tar Comer KIs Hates If
They Are Iteasoaable.
Arguments for and against the injunc
tion asked by Qeorge N. Smalley, an
eastern stockholder of the Council Bluffs
City Waterworks company, to restrain the
putting Into force of the ordinance pro
viding for a reduced schedule of water
rates by the city council of Council Bluffs
were heard by Judge Smith McPherson In I
federal court yesterday. The court took
the case under advisement.
The city wss represented at the hearing
by C. M. Harl of the firm of Harl A Tin-
ley, special counsel, and City Solicitor C.
F. Kimball, while Attorney Oeorge 8.
Wright appeared tor the petitioning stock
holder. Attorney Wilarht. on behalf of Smaller.

extension of time gran tea tne company in
which to complete the construction of its I
niant u. i,... th un.i. th. towa I
statute the franchise did. not inure to the
company until the plant was completed
and ready to be operated. The extension
of time In which to complete the construc
tion of the plant resulted from an Injunc
tion suit brought against the construction
Company by cltlxens.
Counsel for the city contended that the
city council had the right at any time, Ir-
respective of the question of the expira
tion of the franchise, to regulate the rates.
Further, that suit brought by private cltl
xens, to Which the city was not a party,
could not operate to ejetend a franchise
granted by the city. While counsel for the
city argued that the franchise of the
waterworks company expired January 24
of this year, they maintained that this
question ' did not enter into the case at
bar aa the city, under tha statute, had the
right to pass ordinances regulating rate
whenever It deemed fit to do so. The only
grounds on which such an ordinance could
be attacked, they argued, would be the
question of the fairness of such rates.
Judge McPherson, in the case of J. W,
Taylor and others against the National
Masonic Accident association of Des Moines
and the North American Accident Insur
ance company of Chicago, set aside his
former order remanding the case to the
aistnct court ana oraerea a renearing at i

POLITICIANS ARK' IP IN THE AIR
Defeat af Herrlott lit Home Connty
The news from Outhrle county caused
cnoalderalila consternation yesterday
among the Herrlott adherents tn council
Bluffs and they promtly realixed that to
secure a Herrlott delegation from Potta
wattarnta' rountv would htt imoossible. In
fact It was stated by several of Lieutenant
Oovernor Herrlott' friends that it was
doubtful If even an effort would be made
to secur an anti-Cummins delegation from
thl rnnntv. Hnma of thns who Were I
known as belonging to the anti-Cummins
faction, expressed themjselvea as pleased
with the result of the Guthrie convention
and It Is expected that most of the antla
wil now scramble Into the band wagon.
.The turning down of Lieutenant Gover-
nor Herrlott by his own county naturally
came a a welcome piece of new to Gov-
ernor Cummin', friend In this city. A well
known republican who Is regarded a one
of the Cummins leaders ln this city, felt
sufficiently optimistic yesterday after read-
Ing the neWs from Outhrle county to as-
sert that the Cummins crowd, as he termed
it, would control the coming Pottawatta
mla county convention
Friends of Lieutenant Governor Herrlott
asserted yesterday that the statement em-
from Des Moines that Mr. Her-
rlott had announced his withdrawal from
the arnhernatorlat rnnle.t waa nnf tr,i.
and that he still remains a candidate. At
sthe same time they are frank to admit
that his failure to secure his own county
leaves him practically no show to obtain
the nomination. ,
Sues v Two saloon Keepers.
Mrs. Maggie A. Harter, wife of Ell E
Harter of Sao City, la., now In the Pot-
taw&ti'aoUe county Jail under two indict
meats for passing worthless checks in
Council Bluffs,' brought suits In the district
court yesterday, to recover 85,000 each from
the proprietor of two saloon whom she
allege were responsible, for her husband
getting Into his present trouble. Hoist aV
Spetman, owners of the Kiel hotel, are
named as tne aerenaant in one suit and
Harry W. Robinson A Co.. together with
the bonding company which furnished the
83.000 bond required, of all saloonkeepers,
are named aa th defendant.
The petitions in both cases are substan.
tlally Identical. Mrs. Harter recite that
up to August. 1906. her husband wa city
assessor of 8ac City and was receiving a
.-lary of 1100 a month and that prior to
hia election to that office was employed
by hi brother in the agricultural tmpte
ment Rainess, at which he earned 110
month, besides receiving large sum of
money for a number of Invention he had
patented and sold. She states further that
trior to November. 1902, her husband had
used intoxicating liquors to such an ex
tent that it was found neceesary to send
him to Blair. Neb., to take the Keeley
cure. I'p to April, 16, he abstained from
intoxicating liquors, but ln that month he
made a visit to Council Bluffs with a con
siderable sum of money and fell by the
u . ,'uiil. II. rir.nk tfk nwoAaa ah. mmm
. . . . . ,, '
and while under. the influence of llnuor
for vhli h ha had dlaaloated all tha mnnav
he had with him he wrote and cashed
the checks, for which he is now In Jail.
Fearing the consequences of his wrong
doing, her husband, she says, deserted
her and bis family, and finally on Janu
ary 13 of this year returned to Harlan,
la., where he was taken into custody.
Frank tannine Dead.
Frank Canning, brother of Sheriff Can
ning, died yesterday at St. Bernard's hos
pital, where he had been a patient for
year. Eight years ago a sunstroke affected
his eyes and resulted in tha gradual de
etruction of th optic nerve so that at the
time of his death he was almost blind. He

nied that he had withdrawn from the race

that he la still In the race. In an inter
view by telephone today he said1: "I have

have decided to quit the contest, are mis
representations. I am a candidate."
Arthur Cohen, the 6-year-old son of M.

IONOR FRANKLIN'S MEMORY

Orator of Day ajs that statesman

PARIS, April 27 -2:80 p. m. The Frank
lin celebration preceding the unveiling to
day of the Ktatue of Benjamin Franklin
presented to the city of Paris by John II.
Harjes, the American banker ot this eliy.
waa held in the palace of the Trocadro
this afternoon. .
The great auditorium of the Trocadero
has been handsomely decorated for the
occasion with the flags and emblems of
France and the United States Intertwined.
The formal exercises were as follows:

The ceremony was then transferred to
he Trocadero square, where the exercises
continued as follows:
Presentation of the statue of Franklin
to the city of Paris by Mr. Harjes.
Acceptance or tne statue by M. c
Hautaurd. president of the municipal
council of Paris.
Address by McCortulrk.
In opening the ceremony, the Ameri
can ambassador said in part:
When niv friend and comoatrlot. Mr.
John 11. Harjes, esteemed at home and
broad. Informed me of his Intention to
present a statue of Benjamin Franklin to
the cltv of Paris it seemed to me that tha
occasion should be seized upon for a dem
onstration of that warm friendship which
ex IMS. between the world's two great re
publics and for which Franklin so firmly
laid the foundation. The happy coincidence
of the approach of the bicentenary of
Franklin's birth opened the way for us
to broaden the unveiling ceremonies into
the fete which you have been asked to
honor with vour rjresence. The spontane
ous and hearty co-operation of the French
government has given to mis rete me in
ternational character which brings Into re
lief that chapter ln Franklin' life which
belong to France a well as to the United
States and which I trust win ever ne neia
dear to the hearts of citizens of both
countries.
These celebration have their practical
value in keeping the Area of patriotism
alive with that love of country which in
spires the soldier to leave nome and fam
ily to take up arms for tne aeiense oi its
honor and it rights.

SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY j
Two Italian iarrel ta Their l.odg-
Inn- Plaeo sad Ready Stiletto
' Does It Work.
After seriously stabbing his friend, Tony
Zalona, In a room at 206 North Tenth
street, at 8:80 o'clock Friday evening,
Gnetano Blllngheii hurried to the police
station and In his native Italian tried to
tell what had happened and to give) him
self up. No one at the station wa able
to make out why the man wanted to stay
the station until a few moment after
ward, when a telephone message was re
ceived stating there had been a stabbing
ffalr at the house on North Tenth street.
Detective Fattullo ran to tha number and
then telephoned tha station to -.lock up
Blllngheri.
The cutting; took place in the Italian
rooming house where the two men lived.
They were alone when th blow waa struck.
Two other men had been with them, but
while they were out the cutting took place,
and when they returned they found Zalona
lying unconscious. There had been a quar
rel, it wa svtd, and Blllngheri told Cap
tain Dunn that Zalona had struck htm
twfee before he stabbed. The quarrel waa
evidently over a molt trivial matter, the
short stature of one of the men bringing
forth taunt from th other. Several pall
which had held beer lay about th room,
but It was studiously denied drinking had
been going on.
The wound Inflicted by Blllngheri bears
all tha mark ot the regulation Italian
stiletto. It Is located in Zalona right
side and, while oh the surface is hardly
large enough to admit a man's finger, It
penetrated to a depth ot eight Inches Into
the abdomen. Fortunately for the wounded
man, the Intestines were not severed, but
the knife passed into the omentum, the
point ending near the back. Tho blade
passed almost through the man's body.
The weapon with which this dangerous
though Innocent looking wound was made
has not been found by the police.
Dr. B. M. Riley, together with a police
surgeon, attended the wounded man and
hastened him to the Clarkson hospital in
the patrol wagon. An operation was lnr
mediately decided upon and this was per
formed by Dr. J. P. Lord.

nearly all employed at the smelting works,

station when the news had spread, chat.
tering-'excltedly. Blllngheri was moved to
tears' and moans upon contemplation of his
act. He 1 about 36 years old, while his
victim Is but 19. Dr. Lord said after tha
operation the young man has a good chance
to recover, the knife having miraculously
avoided the most dangerous places.

NEW TORK. April I7.-R. G. Dun A
company' weekly review ot trad tomor
row will ajr:
By their magnificent response to th
needs of the earthquake sufferer th
American people have not only given
further evidence of the vast resource of
the nation, but displayed qualities ot heart
and spirit that provide new reasons for
optimism regarding the future. San Fran
cisco will rise from it she greater than
before, and. aside from some forced selling
of securities or temporary pressure In the
money market the nation as a whole will
receive no setback. Modified demands
by the anthracite coal miners increase the
chances ot an early settlement of the
controversy and otherwise the labor
situation la unusually free from friction.
Weather conditions are favorable for
retail trade and building operations, while
the crop outlook Is bright on the whole,
although some sections report delay to
planting on account of excessive moisture
end there I much complaint r irding the
carclty of labor. A large demand and
satisfactory results are anticipated at the
sale of wash fabric next week. Manti
iacturlng plants ar working to their full
capacity In the leading industries, especially
Iron furnaces and steel mills and there Is
little idle machinery at footwear factories
or textile mills. Railway earnings thus
far reported for April stu pas last year s
by 8.2 per cent, and foreign commerce St
this port shows a gain of t!8.61 In im
ports and a small loss of 82S3.618 In ex-
f.ort as compared with the same week of
pc.. Price of the sixty mot actlv rail
way securities declined to the lowest
average since lust August and money
rules firm, heavy withdrawal by the west
offsetting receipts of gold from sbroed.
Mercantile collections are somewhat Ir
regular, which may be traced to ftnanolM
stringency. Hank exchanges at New York,
show an Increase of 10.4 per cent In com
parison with last years figures, while at
other leading cities, the average gain
amounts to 8.1 per cent.
Scarcity of billets, shots and bars Is the

BRADSTREETS REVIEW OF TRADE
Crop and Industrial Report Ar All
Favorable.
NEW YORK, April 27,-Bradstreet'S sum
mary ot the state of trade Will say:
Trade brightens in consonance with con
tinued good weather. Trade, crop and In
dustrial reports alike are favorable and
the spring season, which etarted a llttlo
late, is making up well for lost time.
Oood weather has helped the farmers to
catch up with a rather late planting wes
son and regain lost ground, retail trade
has been helped. Jobbers report continued
liberal re-orders to fill depleted stocks,
there Is more doing in fall business, Iron
and steel are steady with more confidence,
as to the third and last quarters and, astdc
from the coal Industry, which Is still stag
nated, though there Is even here a better
prospect, industry is brisk as seldom If
ever before. Building Is certainly active
beyond precedent for this season. There
is some improvement noted in collections,
bank clearings are larger, money easier,
large gold imports Dimly balancing heavy
remittances to the rkcltlc coast, and the
railroad earnings reflect expansion over tho
best returns of preceding year at this
time. . ..
