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

Tlie register at police headquarters last
night showed that R. J. Aragan had been
taken Into custody by Detective Weir and
was being held for investigation. 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

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

FINDING 1 HOSPITAL SITE
Board of Csntrol Bound to Locata Tuber
cnloiii Sanitarium This Week.
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.

READY. TO RAISE SUBMARINE
Divers See Bodies nf Dead ThrnnKh
the Windows of the
Hatches.
B1ZERTA. Tunis. 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.
