SOME DIFFICULT PROBLEMS TO SOLVE Additional Are Lights o Br Located and Plan la to Chance l.oeatloa nf Home of the Present Lights. Especially the Towers. It Is doubtful If the commutes on firs . nil light will have Its report on the re srrangement nf the city light under the new contract with tho CI Miens' Gas and Klectric company ready to be submitted to the city council at t meeting trmight. Councllmsn Maloncy has been away attend ing federal court at Keokuk and only re turned yesterday, his absence preventing the commutes, getting together. Under the' now contract the olty will have a number of additional lights and tha distribution of these Is one of the matters o which tha committee has to report. In locating them new lights Mayor Macrae'' I anxious thai a" many aa pos sible should be placed In the business por tion of the city. In this he has the sup port ofisome of. thl! counellmen, while. others want to secure as many new lights as poestble- for their 'wards. The mayor I takes the position that Broadway, at least. should be well lighted '.from First street to the Tlllnols CentraV Crossing near Thir teenth street.' Pearl street and Main street from Broadway to Sixteenth avenue, he oontends, should also "be well lighted, al though not .raqulrtng "perhaps as many lights as Broadway, which Is the main busi ness Stret of the city. .. The' (fuestion of, substituting thirty-two candle power Incandescent lights for ths are lights In the residence portions of ths city Is also .a queatioft under considera tion. Mayor Macrae le a strong advo cate of the incandescent lights for restdenoa streets. Last summer 'the experiment of substituting Incandescent lamps for the art lights was mode and with the result that residents of the neighborhoods where they nw placed preferred1 , them to the arc lights'. Under the new arrangements of the lights It Is suggested by some of the councllmen that as many as possible of the light towers be abandoned and the arc lights, nf which there are our on each tower, be distributed in the vicinity. It Is argued ' that better results could be obtained by the distribution' of the four arc lights and a bigger area lighted. ,The four arc lights on the ower'of the-ounty court house. It is. contended, are radically worthless, while If . strung along Pearl street would He murh niore efficient'.'

Inquiry, however, elicited the Information that Mr. Arngi n had not been locked up, although the register failed to show that he had furnished any bond for his release. De tective Weir declined to give any Informa tion relative to the arrest and the other officers at headquarters professed entire ignorance of the case. Chief Richmond when asked stated that he did not even know that the man had been arrested. R. J. Aragan and wife, giving Denver ns their residence, registered at the Grand hotel Saturday evening. At the hotel no in formation could be secured regarding the arreeit. Later It waa learned from other sources the man had pawned two valuable dia mond rings, which fact was tipped off by the pawnbroker. The man and wopian who accompanied him and whom he said was his wife had a quantity of valuable Jewelry with them, which, with $150 in cash, was kept by the police as security for the man's appearance in police court.

NECESSARY CONDITIONS HARD TO MEET Democratic Claims of Control of the Lcglslatnrc Arc Kot Ulvlnst the Re nahllcnns Any tnenslneea Hlg Shortage of Cars. (From a Staff Corresnoudent.) DES MOINE8. Oct. 21. (Special.) An other attempt wllf. be made this week to find a site for the state tuberculosis hos pital. It la more than likely that the State Board of Control will determine on a site this week, as there are indications that the difficulties of transportation nil wnter are about to be overcome. Chair man Hamilton of the board said today that ths hoard will start out Monday morn ing to revisit some of the sins that have been offered to the state and will explore some sections of the state In which no sites have been offered, but where the board Is In the hone of discovering something that might do. Almost the entire week Just passed has been spent by the State Board of Control In consultation at the state house discussing the problem or u site for the tuberculosis hospital. Th? members of the board have about agreed unanimously thnt an Ideal site cannot be had In the state of Iowa. The Ideal site, meaning that ' the view and elevation be Ideal, but at the same time accessible for a railroad switch and for street car trans portation for the general public and at the same time furnished with :'n abundance of good water and possibilities of drainage. It is also desired that the site he cen trally located. The board would probably like better than anything to locate the In stitution near tills city If the site could be found. Indications now point to the selection of a site Ave miles out from Iowa City If nothing better Is offered. This site Is known as the Cllne farm. It has the south slope that Is so much needed and Is wooded. It Is reached by the In terurban and affords opportunities of drain age. It Is a beautiful site, but the water Is an untested problem. The only objec tion Is the uncertainty of water and tho fact that It Is not In the center of the state. However, the site, is probably bet ter than that of almost any other Insti tution except the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Davenport, and if selected would prob ably be approved generally. The board will put In this week on the problem that has thus far baffled the members and will then make a selection. There Is one thlpfc certain, and that Is that the transporta tion facilities must be provided. Every member of the board has declared tlwt he would not vote for a site where the sup piles could not be set out on the sidetrack on the Institution grounds. Chairman Ham ilton snld today that since he had come to the board In May the state had spent hundreds of dollars for demurruge chaws for failure to unload cars where the freight had to be hauled by t-oni sometimes as far as five miles to the Institution. o Fear of Democratic Control. Fears that the demoorats will get con trol of the next Iowa legislature are some what subsiding sine1 th time hss been taken to figure the' matter up. There are 108 members In the house and fifty In the senate. The full membci-shlp of the houso Is to be elected next 'November and twenty two members of the setjate. .The democrats have four, members ot.the senate who are holding over. They had eight members In the last senate 'and twenty-one members In the last house. There are 136 members of the house and senate to be elected in November. On Joint roll call It will take eighty to make a majority; in the next legislature. The democrats have four sena tors who hold over, and will therfore have to elect seventy-six out of the llitj to be elected. This will be fifty-one more than they had In the last legislature on Joint roll call. Even those who concede that the democrats are likely to have more members In the next legislature than in the last do not claim that they can elect as many as sev-enry-sfx out of the 136 to be elected next month. Big Shortage In Cars. Every line that' rune through Iowa is abort of cars. The report has been mado to the railroad commission that they cannot get the cars to move the grain crop as fast as it Is being sffcrcd or transportation. The other day Rtt-j Railroad Commissioner N. S. Ketchum made a trip over ths state with a num ber of railroad officials and he kept them in a sweat the biggest part of the time, pointing out elevators to which the farm ers were hauling grain, but by the slda of which there were no boxcars to haul 1 the TPS away, In despair, one official told him they were 1.600 cars short In their Iowa territory alone. Elevator men all over the stats are making a "holler" for cars and the complaints are coming in to ths railroad commission. During the summer Commissioner Ketchum made an appeal to the people of the state In behalf of the railroads to move sll the freight that It was possible to move then st a time when the cars were not In use. and In order to relieve the pressure when the grain began to move, but the appeal did, seemingly, little good. Since the grain started moving the car short age has been growing worse. , Comes l,ona- War tn Vnte. Hon. P. L. Prentls of Vancouver, BrltUo Columbia, will probably travel farther to vote In November than any other votr In Iowa. His home is In Mt. Ayr, la., and his friends have received word that he Is coming home to vote. Mr. Prentls is stationed at Vancouver In the Immigra tion service. He is under the civil service and so is excluded from active participa tion in politics, but his republican loyalty is such that he cannot stay away from ths polls In November. - Kenyon to Cbtmao, Judge W. 8. Kenyon of Fort Dodge will move to Chicago within a few weeks, and there will then be removed from low i one of Its strongest sttorneys and at unu time one of its most conspicuous poli ticians. The decision to remove to Chi cago to live follows the sppolntment of last week as general attorney of the Illi nois Central, a promotion from the posi tion of Iowa attorney. Judge Kenyon will be succeeded In Iowa by Hon. Thoinaa D. Healy of Fort Dodge. The position of genersl attorney of the Illinois Central was offered to Judge Kenyon some months ago. Since that time more or less of hi time has been spent in Chicago at ths head offices In legal consultation. Jndae Lindner tn Address Teachers. Judge Ben F. Llndsey of Colorado, the author of the juvenile court law of that state. Is to address the Iowa State Teach ers' association at the annual convention of ths association here during ths holi day week. Judge Llndsey will be one of the principal speakers and wfll tulk along ths Juvenile court lines. On the program also will be Ruben Pdst Hsllmk, principal of the high schools In LouUlvllle. where such success has been aecured by separating the boys and the girls.

Lincoln of Cedar Rapids Is busy stocking '.he streams and lakes of Ioa with fish Uiken from the bayous along the Mississippi river. The work will be continued until cold weather puts a stop to It. The state of Iowa owns a car which Is used an nually to distribute the fish. It Is espe cially fitted for the purpose. Because of tills annual distribution of fish .ind because of the higher water in the streams In the Kprlng, It Is claimed fishing Is ga ting better. Waut Exemption Law t'nt. A. L. Crick of this city, president of the State Federation of Labor, declares that the organizations that tried at the last session of the legislature to get Tli wage exemption law cut down Is again at work, and. furthermore, this time is working for the defeat of members of the legislature who are opposed to amend ing the law. As a result of this discovery the Federation of Labor men are at work for the election of nil refusing to vote for a change and are organizing their forces to fight the proposition in the leg islature next winter.

Oct. . 21. The divers working on the French submarine boat I.utin. which went down off this port October IS with fourteen men and two offi cers on board, today succeeded In digging a tunnel under the stern through which a hawser was passed. These operations were conducted under the personal supervi sion of M. Thomson, the French minister of marine. A heavy chain hss been placed In position tinder the submarine's bows and the preparations for lifting it are now complete. All efforts to remove the bodies from the Lutlii have proved vain. Through ths windows of the hatch divers have per ceived two corpses with arms Interlocked. The position of these two bodies Is such as to make It Impossible to open the man hole and therefore ingress to the sub marine cannot be had. The two bodies seen from the outside cannot be Identified, but there is reason to believe that one, clad In a white shirt. Is that of Lieutenant Fepoux, commander of the Lutln. The weights of the submarine, with ths exception of those on the starboard bow, are in position. The starboard weight has been broken off and with its fastenings lies on ths bottom.
