v city Council.
Councilman Wallace succeeded In get-
ting his Woodbury avenue crosiilng ordl-
nance through the city council last night
by a' vote of 6 to J, Councilmen Maloney
and Smith voting against it. The ordl-
nance defines tha need for a crossing
upder the tracks of the Great Western
railroad but tha railroad haa the right
of appeal to ' the railroad commissioners.
C. O. Saunders, attorney for the railroad,
protested against the passage of the ordi
nance, taking the' position that tha neces
sity for such a crossing did not exist and
that 'there were many far more-dangerous
crossings within the city limits which
were , entirely unprotected. Mr. Saunders
said, such; a ' crossing as proposed by the
ordinate would cost, $10,000 at least.

DE3 WOINKS, Dec. . (Special s- Jte
fore Juilge Smith McPherson In the I'nlted
States circuit court here today was begun
the suit Involving the franchise rights
of the Des Moines Street railway. The city
ordered the coiujiany to vacate the street
and a suit was begun In the state courts I
t' determine Its franchise- rights. The
company went to the United States courts
fdr an Injunction to restrain the city from
tearing up the tracks. The city, In answer
ing the suit tor an Injunction, denied that
the company had a franchise and denied
also the Jurisdiction of the United States
courts since the case Involved no constitu
tional questions. The hearing of the argu
ments this morning was Interrupted by the
'rgumehts In the case of the Marshalltuwn
;lucose company against tfie City of Mar-
nhalltown Involving damages for a sewer.
This afternoon tha arguments were re
sumed on the part of the railway .company
by N. T. Guernsey. The testimony of the
street car officials and others has already
been submitted to Judge McPherson and
the court announced today that he would
decide all questions raised after the en
tire case had been beard. A recital of the
different steps In the litigation and some
of the preliminary statements was all that
was reached today. Mr. Guernsey will
be followed by City Solicitor Bremner for
the city. The suit Is one that attract!
great attention In this city, since the
franchise question has been before the
public for some years. .
Chnae Needs Only Dolllver.
Politicians In the city are saying that D.
C. Chase of Webster City needs only the
support of Senator Dolliver to get the
position of United States attorney for
northern Iowa. M. J. Tohln of Vinton Is
a candidate for the position, and the
Iowa delegation In Washington Is expected
to caucus soon on tho appointment. It
Is understood that Blrdsall, Haugen, Hub
bard, Connor and Dawson favor the ap-
polntment of Chase, while Allison and
Cousins favor Tobln. If Chase can get
Dolliver the chances of his appointment
will lie strong, for George of Clinton has
the support of some of the congressmen,
dividing the support of Tobln.
Wreck on Great Western.

Western collided last night, resulting In the
death of H. Field of Nevada, la., and the j

6:30. and the freight had orders to run

of the coad are Investigating the cause of
