ATTORNEY BROWN ANXIOUS
Callion char.ffto fee Why 8aloon Injunc
tion Papers Hare Not Been Eetred.
SHERIFF STATES FORCE HAS BEEN B'JSY
If Papers Are to He served All the
alooas Sheriff Desires to Walt
Whole Affair.
J. Brown, tho mysterious lawyer and
dealer In real estate from Kansas, failed to
file any more notices of Injunction suits
against Council Bluffs saloons yesterday,
but he was In evidence all the same. Early
In the morning Mr. Brown called at Sheriff
Canning's office to inquire why It was that
none of the notices of suit had been
served by the sheriff. Mr. Brown was
Informed that the sheriff's force had btcn
busy attending to other court matters and
that the notices would be served In.dup
time. This explanation appeared to satisfy
Mr. Brown and lis left ths sheriff s office
without offering any information as to
what his next move would be.
As It was presumed that Mr. Brown and
his associates, whoever they might be,
planned injunction suits against each and
every saloonkeeper In Council Bluffs and
Pottawattamie county. Sheriff Canning
stated yesterday that he thought it best
to wail until all the original notices hud
been filed and then he and his deputies
could serve them In a bunch.
The Iowa mulct law provides a fee of
$26 for the attorney bringing injunction
suits for violation of the law In each case.
Up to a few years ago the business of pros
ecuting saloonkeepers was more profitable,
as the law provided for a fee of two In
each case for the attorney bringing the
suit.

Pump Breaks at Inopportune Time.
The residence of W. II. Heultta, gardener
at the corner of Madison And Bennett ave
nue, was entirely destroyed by fire shortly
after 8 o'clock yewlerday morning. But
for the breaking of the pump In the yard
the house might have escaped destruction,
but as It was only the furniture whs saved.
The blase originated In a small summer
kitchen at the rear of the house. Mr.
Heultta built a Are about 4 o'clock In this
shed and then went Into the main part of
the house. A few minutes later he dis
covered the shed on Are with the flames
making rapid headway. Rushing to the
pump he drew a bucket of water and
dashed It on the flames, but ot returning
for more water discovered that the handle
of the pump was broken snd It refused
to work. Neighbors hastened to his as
sistance and carried water from nearby
premises, but were unable to do so In suf
ficient quantities to materially check the
flames.
The fire departrrunit responded to the
alarm, but as the residence was outside
the fire limits could only use the chemical
engine, which sufficed to keep the blaxe
In check long enough to allow the removal
of ths furniture.
It 'was thought possible that the frame
shed In which the blaxe originated could
be pulled away from the main part of the
house and a team of horses was hitched
to It, but It refused to move.
The house, which was one and a half
story, containing six rooms, cost 81.EO0 and
was insured for $700.

DES MOINES, . Jan. . (Special. )-As a
result of a conference of the legislative
committee of the State Bankers' associa
tion with the state auditor a number of
Important banking bills will be drawn and
presented to the legislature. An effort
win be mane to convince tne memoers
of the legislature that unless, some relief
Is given the savings banks of the state.
which are more numerous than any other
class ot banks, will go to tus wall. The
decision of Judge Evans In the case of the
Corning Savings bank to ths effect that a
savings bank cannot borrow money, Is
considered a serious handicap to the sav
ings bank, aa It would limit them strictly
to receiving deposits and putting the money
out at Interest and prevent them from
dohig a general banking business. Sav
ing banks can be organized with but
$10,000 capital etook and for that reason
banks In nearly all small communities are
savings banks. The' original Intention of
the law was that they should be a sort ot
mutual savings association, merely for the
Investment of savings, but they have been
Increasing rapidly over the state and are
doing a general banking business. It Is
proposed to amend the law so that they
can do, this legally. It Is also proposed
to amend the law so that directors of "sav
ings banks' can borrow money from the
bank by giving the proper' collateral;also
to repeal the section requiring savings
banks to publish a list of the banks with
which thfjy carry deposits; and a lighten
ing of ths burden of taxation. The sav
ings banks' ask that they be placed more
nearly on a par with the stale and na
tional banks In the matter of taxation, as
well as In other banking matters. They
do not object to the state bank examiners
having all Information concerning the
bank's condition and where the money Is
deposited or what directors borrow money
and the nature of the security, but they
do object to publishing this Information
to the general public, as It gives other
banks an unfair advantage over them.
Woald Help Cities.
Probably a bill will be Introduced soon
at this session of the legislature designed
to give the cities a greater proportion ot
the taxation of the railroads' It Is asserted
that -the present method of taxing ths
entire line or road In the state and then
dividing It by thfc number of miles, giving
to each county Ha proportion of the mile
age, gives the country districts the ad
vantage for ths reason that they get the
benefit of the great terminals at ths large
cities - The new plan Is to have these
terminals assessed and taxed for the ex
elusive benefit of the cities In which they
are located. A part of the scheme to so
compllsh this end Is to have the terminals
assessed by the local assessors and limit
the executive council to assessing the
other property of the railroad line.
Board Hadn't Heard of Law
In the report of the state accountant, C.
C. Hter, filed with.- the governor today. It
la pointed out that the Board of Educa
tional Examiners is unaware of the fact
that a law passed three years ago requires
all boards to turn the fees collected Into
the state treasury to be dtabursed there.
The board has been collecting fees and
holding them snd spending the money as
needed.
Expert Railroad Lobby.
Because of the appearance of high rail
road officials at the capltol of Missouri to
lobby against the 2-cent fare bill In that
state. It Is presumed that they will appear
In Des Moines next week or the week after
to lobby against the measure here. Five
bills have been Introduced In the leglsla.
ture here and there Is a strong supposition
that-one of the measures will pass,
Clinton is Selected.
The stute associations of supervisors,
county auditors and county treasurers,
which have been meeting In this city today,
decided upon Clinton as the place for hold
ing the next state conventions, the three
societies always selecting the same place
and date of meeting. The conventions will
be held August 14, 16 and 16.

Iowa Humane society, has discovered that
a fad of adopting babies from the baby
l farms of this city has struck the deml
I monde society of the city. Action will be

Crlppen of this city Is playing In. A short
time ago young Crlppen assumed the matri
monial yoke and shortly after was Indicted
by the grand Jury for larceny by embezzle
ment. This week he was taken in charge
by Sheriff Walsh and taken to Eldora,
where he entered appearance and pled not
guilty , to the indictment. The trouble seem
to grow out of a horse deal a year or so
ago. when Crlppen took a horse on a debt,
receiving therefore a bill of sale. He had
the Instrument recorded and a few month
later sold the horse and appropriated the
money. He maintains that he had a legal
right to dispose of the horse, but the grand
Jury evidently found sufficient evidence to
hold him. His case probably will be heard
