The report of John 'W. Alvord. the fcon
aultlng hydraulic engineer of Chicago", em
ployed by the Council Bluffs Water Works

Mr. Alvord places a valuation of $706,344
on the plant, which Is $205!$to higher than
that of Mr. Klersted, who figured the "value
at $600,948.

v
First Result Likely to Be ravine of
West Broadway.
The Council Bluffs Development company,
the principal object of which la to secure
factories and other business enterprises
for the city, became an assured fact at
a well attended meeting In the rooms of
the Commercial club last night.
Articles of Incorporation were approved
and the following board of directors elected:
Frank T. True, V. E. Bender, F. H. Keys,
E. K. Hart. J. P. Oreenshlelds, O. H.

The capital stock la placed at $100,000,
divided Into 1,000 shares of $100 each. With
but few exceptions those present subscribed
liberally for the stock.
While not organized specifically for this
purpose, the incorporation of the Council
Bluffs Development company means prob
ably the paving of Broadway the entire dis
tance from Twentieth street to the ap
proach to the motor bridge. As soon aa the
company la in a position to transaot busi
ness legally it will make an offer to take
off the hands of the city all of the lots
it now owns on Broadway and will agree
to bear the expense of the Improvement
against this property. By doing this the
company expects to Increase the value of
the property in that neighborhood and make
(t desirable for factory sites and for the
location of other and varloua business en
terprises, all of which will tend to build up
that section and the city in general.
While the company, it is said, will at
first devote Its efforts to building up the
western section of the city, it will not by
any. means stop there, but will endeavor
to Vulld up" every section where trackage
Is available for business enterprises of the
character It purposes fostering and encour
aging. The articles state that the purposes and
objects of the incorporation shall be the
"carrying 'on of a general commercial,
manufacturing and development business."
The articles will. It Is expected, be filed
within a week and another meeting be
held within the same time, at which the
organisation will be completed by the eleo
tlon of officers, etc

Owner Snaps It Fonr Times Before
It Wonld F.xplnde.
Bad blood which has prevailed for Some
time between Charles Hanklns. a laborer
on the fruit farm of J. A. Aulabaugh. north
of the city, and Arthur Southwell, a driven
for the Keellne meat market, culminated
yesterday morning In a shooting affray
aftef the two men had met and had a
fight But for the fact that Southwell s
revolver mlneed fire three times Hanklns
would In all likelihood have been a subject
for a coroner's Inquest. As it was, one
bullet from Southwell's weapon went dan
gerously close to Hankln s head.
At an early hour yesterday morning
Southwell was on his way to deliver an
order at Wilcox's greenhouse No. 2 when
he encountered Hanklns In Caning Cut.
Hanklns was armed with a pitchfork,
which It Is said he used with considerable
effect on Southwell.
Southwell drove back to town, stopping
at his home on Hunter avenue, where ho
secured his revolver. On Rroadway he no
ticed Hanklns In Harding's barber shop
waiting to be shaved. Stepping to the
door Southwell drew his revolver and pre
senting It at Hanklns, who waa standing
with his back to the itove. pulled the trig
ger. Three times In succession Southwell
pulled the trigger, but It only snapped. The
fourth time, however, the weapon worked
and a bullet whined close by Hankin's
head and lodged In the wall behind him.
Southwell then retreated up the street and
turned north on First street. Hanklns fol
lowed Southwell to the door, shouting after
him, "Well, you've got your nerve with
you," but the latter paid no attention to
him and continued on tils way.
The first Intimation the police got of the
shooting was from Southwell, who called
up the station over the telephone and gave
his version of the affray. He said that
Hanklns had first attempted to stick him
In the face with the pitchfork, and, falling
In this, had beaten him over the head with
the handle, breaking his nose.
The police soon ran across Hanklns, who,
as a precautionary measure, was placed
under $26 bond to appear to answer to a
charge of flghtlng'a'nd disturbing the peace,
but Southwell kept out of the officers' way
until evening, when he was taken Into cus
tody by Detectives Weir and Callaghan.
He was locked up and a charge of shooting
with Intent to kill booked agalnBt him.
Southwell was Indicted at the November,
1906, term of district court on a charge of
assaulting Boren Thompson, a tailor, with
Intent to do him great bodily Injury. He
has been at liberty on a ball bond and his
case Is on the docket for trial at this term
of court.

(From a Staff Correspondent.
PES MOINES. Jan. $0. (Special.) An
anti-pnss law Is In process of prepartlon.
It will be a repeal of the present Iowa
nntl-pass law and the Intention Is to make
the law In this state conform with tho
plan of the federal law so thai there may
be no conflict. Tho form of the low.i
law Is simple and was easy to draw and
that of the federal stntute is difficult, o
the Iowa legislators are having trouble
1n preparing the measure. Tho present
Iowa law prohibits passes being given to
or received by officials of the state, legis
lature, delegates to political conventions
or members of political committees. The
federal statute prohihits passes being
given to anyone and then makes excep
tions, but there are so many exceptions
that It Is difficult to know where to stop.
The changes that are to be made In the
Iowa law are In conformity with the gov
ernor's message recommendations. In
drawing the bill members of the senate
are having difficulty with two questions.
One Is what to do with newspaper adver
tising exchanged for mileage, which the
Interstate Commerce commission held to
be Illegal under the federal statute. The
other is what to do with politicians, and
with the lawyers and doctors who are ap
pointed railroad employes In every town
and city of the state and whose only com
pensation Is the railroad mileage. It Is
being suggested that such be. orohlbltad
from receiving passes unless they als-
get a' money- compensation of at least
$500 a year, but constitutional lawyers
fear this would make the law unconstitu
tional. The new law will in all prob
ability have the provision that no state
nmcial, member of the legislature, dele
gate to political convention or member, cf
political party committee shnll ride on a
pass whether an employe of a railroad or
not. The new bill will appear first In the
senate, according to present Intention.
Three Insnranee Bills.
Three bills will be reported for passage
by the Insurance committee of the house
tomorrow morning. One Is a bill pro
viding a plan for assessment life Insurance
companies to incorporate Hnder the legnl
reserve plan, another Is a bill requiring
all insurance companies to preserve
vouchers for all expenditures of $10
or more and the third Is a bill
allowing fraternal accident Insurance
companies to do business In the
state. The bill providing a minimum rate
for fraternal Insurance companies was dis
cussed and It was decided to fix next
Wednesday for a hearing on the bill, at
which time representatives of fraternal
Insurance companies will be heard.
Move to Cbanae Commission.
A bill Is In course of preparation and
will be Introduced In both houses within
a few days providing for changing the
entire personnel of the Iowa railroad com
mission by the addition of four new mem
bers to be appointed by the governor. The
commission at. present Is made up of three
members elected by the people for periods
of three" years each. A strong lobby of
shippers, among whom were members of
the Iowa State Association of Manufac
turers and other shippers, has gathered in
this city for the purpose of pushing mat
ters along lines suggested by the governor
in his message to the legislature, In which
he stated that there had been no substan
tial change In freight . rates In this state
In the past eighteen years, and recom
mended a commission appointed by the
legislature to make an investigation. This
lobby gathered In Des Moines In the hope
of Inducing the legislature to create such
a commission. From the discussion among
the members of the lobby has grown a
sentiment for quicker action. It Is claimed
that a commission could not report or bring
about any results but publicity till the
next legislature meets, two years from now,
and it would then be up to the legislature
to work a change with considerable rfore
time to be consumed before a change In
rates could be brought about. It Is there
fore being argued among the members of
the lobby that by the addition of four
members to the railroad commission, mak
ing the membership seven, the four new
members to be appointed by the governor
an investigation such as the governoi
wiBhes could be brought about and with
It Immediate changes In the freight rates
The lobby, therefore, has gone to work ut
once to prepare the bill and it Is promised
to be introduced within a few days.

of Opera-
CHICAGO, Jan. 30. A dispatch to the
Tribune from New York says: Richard
Strausj, composer of the sensational musi
cal setting of Oscar Wilde's drama
"Salome," In an interview with the New
York World correspondent In Berlin yes
terday, expressed his opinion of the furore
created by the production of the muslo
drama here In these words;
"Probably there are two classes of per
sons in New York who discover that
'Salome' Is Immoral. The first are those
whose own lives, especially their secret
lives, are not above reproach men and
women whosa minds dwell on thtnga
prurient, who have sounded In their
thoughts all that Is morally base. The
second are those who oppose any and all
dramatic treatment of a biblical story or
legend. This class is largely represented
In England and the United States. To
these people Bafnt-Saens' 'Samson and Deli
lah' Is Immoral, sojare all mystery playa
and passion plays.
"In art there Is never tho moral nor the
Immoral; such conceptions are lncompatl
ble with the conception of art; are foreign
to It. In art there Is only, good end bad.
Is an artist's work good art? Is it bad
art? These are ' legitimate questions and
these the artists. muat face and (Tnswer.
"In Berlin, ln( IJreadeti.;; In other cities,"
ho added, " 'Salome' has been given on the
stages of royid theaters. Its art has been
approved by specialists whose morality
cannot be questioned. What Is good enough
for these famotis stages Is good enough
for New York.. It is really" the same to
