UTISATION OVER EAST OMAHA LANDS
Three-cornered Fttit Between Pres
ent Title Holders, the State of Iowa
and Charles Hannan, Former
Council IMafTs Resident.
United States Marsha! Frank Clark yes
terday announced the following appoint
ments of field deputies: W. T. Cole at
Council Bluffs, O. F. Matteson at Daven
port, Wesley Bryant at Creston, and A.
D. Dunlap at Keokuk. As previously an
nounced, C. M. Hinsdale of Newton will be
chief or office deputy.
The headquarters of the United States
marshal's office have been In Des Moines
since the transfer from Council Bluffs nine
years ago, but Marshal Clark Intends mak.
Ing an effort to have them removed to
Ottumwa, his home town. The appoint
ment of a deputy In Des Moines has not
yet been filled by Mr. Clark.
Further arguments in the litigation aris
ing over the attempt of Charles Hannan,
formerly of this city, now of Boston, to
acquire title by purchase from the state of
Iowa to about 1,000 acres In what Is known
at Cut-Off and East Omaha on the west
side of the Missouri river, under the act
enabling the state to dispose of all aban
doned river beds, were henrd yesterday by
Judge McPherson. Attorney Bcott of
Omaha appearing for Borne of the present
owners of the land In controversy, raised
the question of the application of the Iowa
statute to the lands In question. Mr. Scott
took the position that the act applies only
to conditions arising since Its enactment
and was not retroactive. Counsel for Han
nan and Attorney General Byers, In his
petition of Intervention, sought to show
that many years ago, before the river
commenced to meander as it did, there was
an Island In the middle of the Big Muddy,
and that the land In controversy was
formed by accretions to It. In proof of this
claim a showing of the various meander
Ings of the river, even as far back as 1SS1,
before Council Bluffs was known on the
map, was made by counsel for Hannan and
by the attorney general of Iowa.
Judge McPherson also heard arguments
In the controversy between Flleklnger
Brothers, attorneys of this city and the
legal firm of Wakeley & Wakeley of
Omaha over fees In the litigation between
A. U. Wyman, receiver of the Nebraska
Iowa Insurance company and stockholders
In this state The Council Bluffs attorneys
contend that their share of the attorney
fees were out of proportion to that re
ceived by the Omaha firm. Messrs. FHck
enger had been cited to appear before the
Douglas county district court, but Judge
McPherson held that the United States
court had jurisdiction over the funds upon
which Messrs. Flleklnger had filed a lien.
The amount does not exceed $200.'
Rev. Marcus P. McClure of the First Pres
byterian church will close the meeting.
The musical featurea will be of a high

Commercial Clab to Help Oat on the
Work on Broadway.
As a result of the meeting last night
of the special commfttee from the city
council, consisting of Councllmen Maloney,
Wallace and Hendrlx, with members of
the Commercial club and the Street Fair
and Carnival company last night in the
rooms of the Commercial club, the pros
pects for the city being able to com
plete the paving of Lower Broadway this
year to the motor company's bridge appear
exceedingly bright.
Besides the members of the special com
mittee, there were present City Treasurer
True, Councilman Olson, Colonel W. F.
Bakor of the Board of County Supervisors,
H. H. Van Brunt. P. C. DeVol. E. H. Doo
llttle. E. H. Merriam. H. W. Binder, F. R.
Davis, H. A. Qulnn and Secretary Reed of
the Commercial club.
It was practically agreed that the $4,000
remaining from last fall's street fair
should be turned over to the city towards
the cost of paving and that the proceeds
from the carnival this fall should be de
voted to the same purpose. On behalf
of the city council, Mr. Maloney explained
that It expected to secure about $10,000 of
the cost of the paving by disposing of the
lots owned by the city on the portion of
Broadway proposed to be paved. Action
on this probably would be taken, he said,
at the meeting of the city council next
Monday night. Mr. Maloney stated further
that it was the Intention of the city council
to pass a reasonable wide tire ordinance
which, however, would not go Into effect
until one year from next January, so as to
give the owners of hauling and other
wagons ample time to make the necessary
change.

BATTEY MAKES TART HEJOIM)ER
Files with Board Reply to Report of
the Cheeking- Committee.
In compliance with the instructions of the
Board of Supervisors contained In a resolu
tion adopted at its meeting on February
23, H. V. Batty. clerk of the district court,
filed with County Auditor Cheyene yester
day' a report and showing as to unclaimed
fee and moneys reported by the checking
committee, composed of J. M. Matthews
and W. B. Reed. The report of the check
Ins committee purported to ahow that Mr.
Battcy had in his possession court costs,
unclaimed fees and other moneys amount
ing to $3,756.19, which It was alleged should
have, been turned over by him tc the
county. This amount, as reported by the
committee. Included the court at Avoca.
In his report nnd showing filed yesterday
Mr. Battey takes each separate item, as
contained In the report of the checking
committee .and where he has found that
the money Is still In his possession and
should have been turned over to the ocunty
on or before January 1 of this year, he has
noted "Correct" Items where the money
is not In his hands or Is rightfully still in
his possession he has made notations, "Not
accountable," "Claimed," "Not in
hands," "Held under order of court
not accountable to county."
Mr. Batty's report reveals a wide
crepancy between his figures and those of
tho checking committee. Whereas the
checking committee In its report alleged
nearly $4,000 in unclaimed fees, court costs,
etc., was In the clerk's possession, Mr.
Battey's report only shows $230.30. Mr.
Battey's report, however, does not Include
the Avoca court, except as to court costs.
as Mr. Tollliiger, the deputy there, has
not. owing to court business, yet had time
to prepare ' it.
Mr. Battey prefaces his report with the
following statement to the Board of Supervisors:
I find in sold report fthe checking com
mittee's report) several items called "county
coats. I do not know what the committee
intended by that term, but if It means
thereby such costs as are taxed and col
lected by the clerk and which go to the
county, I have to say that said report Is
totally and unqualifiedly false as to said
Items of "county costs" and each of them.
I further state thnt each of suld Items of
"county' costs" which they enumerate and
state are In the hands of myself at this
time or at the time the committee formu
lated its report, haa been by myself paid
to the county treasurer and reported to
the Mosfd of Supervisors with the treas
urer's voucher therefor attached thereto,
and that the committee had my 'reports
showing this fact In Its hands or posses
sion at the time It made the Btatement
that the same had not been reported and
paid over as provided by law. And I un
hesitatingly state that had the expert
checking committee carefully checked my
reports they would have discovered this
fact; that they did no; do so is no fault of
mine.
Regarding the checking committee report
on the Avoca office, Mr. Battey makes this
statement In his report to the board:
Regarding the "county costs" alleged to
be In his possession: These Items appear
a number of times In the report upon the
office at Avoca and the report Indicates
that I have withheld or kept back costs
which by law go to the county. If that Is
the Intent of the report I declare It to be
false In that respect. And that the mem
bers of that committee should deliberately
charge me with withholding from the
county costs which were paid to the deputy
In charge, ten, twelve or fifteen years ago,
and which could not under any circum
stances come Into my possession. Is as
tounding. Yet this Is what they do In
their report. Receipts for the payment of
costs generally appear upon the fnce of
the appearance and fee docket, and are,
or should be. dated. They are In the
Instancea cited by the committee. I leave
It with the board to determine the motive
underlying and actuating the committee's
report.
Mr. Battey closes by stattng that veri
fication of his statements can be had by
reference to his reports filed during his
two years of office with the board.
The Board of Supervisors will hold its
session April 1, at which time Mr. Battey's
report will be laid before it

DE8 MOINES, March 20. (Special Tele
gram.) The house this afternoon went on
record as opposed to the creation of a de
partment of Insurance separate from the
state auditor's office by voting to change
the banking department to the state treas
urer's olTlce and the municipal accounts
department to the secretary of state. Bills
to Increase the salaries of county re
corders and their deputies were killed and
one to change the salaries of county as
sessors was passed. A bill appropriating
$75,000 for a swine pavilion at the state
fnlr grounds was passed. The house broke
all records today by disposing of twenty
four bills, all of which were house meas
ures. State Marshal BUI Dead.
By a vote of 18 to 30 the senate killed
the state marshals' bill this afternoon.
Those for the bill were Allen, Bleakley,
Burgess, Clark, Dunham, Erlcson, Gales,
Glllilland, Jamleson of Page, Klmmelt,
Kinne, McKlveen, Nichols, Peterson, See-
ley, Stuckslager, Turner and Whiting.
Veto Cats Off Wilson.
Governor Cummins today vetoed the bill
making the offices of document librarian
under the secretary of state a statutory
office with a salary of $1,200. One of the
main reasons for vetoing the bill Is that
it would have given the present Incumbent,
James Wilson of Adair county, the position
for life. Wilson has been the manager
for John Herrlott, former lieutenant gov
ernor, in his many campaigns and has al
ways been his private secretary when he
was presiding over the senate. There are
also some other reasons for vetoing the
bill, as It would have conflicted with other
laws.
Important Railroad Bills.
The house today passed three bills of
great Importance to the common carriers
of the state. They are: '
Hill ordering the railroad commission to
promulgate a schedule of Joint freight
rates.
Bill giving the railroad commission power
and authority to prosecute .before the In
terstate Commerce commission any cases
of discrimination In Interstate rates against
Iowa.
Bill giving the railroad commission au
thority to fix express company rates, in
cluding Jdtnt express rates.
There was also a fourth railroad bill
passed requiring railroads to keep the
weeds cut along their right-of-way.
Some years ago when the late Frank T.
Campbell was a member of the railroad
commission a schedule of Joint rates was
put In, but knocked out in the supreme
court by the railroads. This bill gives un
questioned authority to the commission to
put In the eiv .-ule again and orders It to
do so.
The bill giving the commission authority
to appear In the name of the state before
the Interstate Commerce commission It is
believed will be of great service to the
state and really save the shippers a great
deal in Interstate rates.
Honse Passes Bills.
In the house today there were passed the
bill permitting cities of 6,000 population or
over to build hospitals and maintain the
same by a tax levy, the limit formerly be
ing cities of 12,500; the bill by Elliott of
Page prohibiting distribution of samples
of medicine In public places; a bill making
a closed season on pheasants till October
1, 1915; and a bill allowing damages for
failure of common carriers to deliver bag
gage on time. The anti-patent medicine or
pure drug bill was defeated In the house.
Conitresalonal Redtstrictlnar.
The house committee on congressional
districts will have a meeting soon and take
up the bill that turns the congressional
districts upside down and puts Connor and
Smith together In the Ninth. Dawson in
the Fifth, Cousins in the Second and Blrd
sall In the Tenth. What Is more, there is
intimated to be some indication that a re
dlstrlctlng bill of some kind will be re
ported for passage.
Bill to Make Men Vote.
OfflU of Jasper Introduced a bill today
which provides that every voter who falls
to vote at a primary election shall be as
sessed $3 and the money collected through
the county treasurer Just as other taxes
are collected. The bill provides that the
assessor shall go over the primary election
books and if he finds that any voter hat
failed to vote at the primary he shall as
sess him $3, and unless the voter can prove
sickness the money must be collected.
Cottrell of Plymouth today Introduced
In the house a bill repealing the state
teachers' certificate bill enacted at the last
session and enacting a county certificate
bill similar to the old law.

It had the legal right to do so.
Figures presented by City Treasurer True
showed that with the money from the car
nival fund and the proceeds from this
year's street fair, provided it was as suc
cessful as in previous years, the city would
lack less than $10,000 to complete the pav
ing the entire distance between Twentieth
street and the approach to the motor com
pany's bridge. It was thought that this
amount could be raised partly by antici
pating the levy for the general Improve
ment fund and by donations.

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and p
the WeU-lnformed of the worm
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal apents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, nnd it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed penerally that the California Fie Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to tho hih standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy pood health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all tho term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may le made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may le invaluable if taken at the
proper time, theCalifornia Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed Ixicause
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you 6imply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.
