EVIDENCE ON TRANSFER COMPANY FIRE Sonant to Show Chief Wsv laeosape tent, bat Evidence Alone that Line t Conflicting; Heart nT to Be Resumed In Moralngr. ' Robert W. Jone, chief of the fire depart ment, Is now on trial before the Fire and Police commission on chargos preferred against him by O. P. McKesson, when It was discovered that the appointment by the commission of Charles M. Nicholson as chief of the department would not hold water. The hearing Is being held in the city council chamber and Chief Jone Is represented by Baunders A Stuart, while the prosecution is being conducted by At torney B. B. Wadsworth, counsel for Charles Nicholson, who I said to represent Mr. McKesson at the hearing. The pro ceeding are being taken down In shorthand by J. J. Ferguson, one of the district court reporters. . As soon as the member of the commis sion had seated themselves and announced that the hearing wa on, Mr. Baunders sub mitted a motion asking that McKesson be required to make his charge more specific. The commissioners, with City Solicitor Kimball, retired to the privacy of the mayor's office and there conferred over the motion, with the result that McKesson will be required to make more specific four of the charges. In charge No. 1, alleging misconduct, Mc Kesson will be required to set forth the date on which the alleged misconduct oc curred and specify as to what the alleged misconduct consisted. In charge No. 2, alleging that Jones failed to properly perform his duties as chief of the fire department, McKesson will be re quired to show wherein Jone failed to per form them. In charge Nb. 8, alleging disrespect to superior officers, McKesson will be required to set forth the manner In which Jones failed to show due and sufficient respect to the dignity of his superiors, and must name the particular officer to whom disrespect was shown. In charge No. 9. alleging that the chief had permitted the station house to be used for Improper purposes, McKesson, will be under the necessity of showing exactly for what Improper uses the houses were al lowed to be used. The hearing so far as it progressed yes terday related mainly to the fire which detroycd the warehouse and stock of the Union Transfer company on South Main street last December. The Intent of the examination of the several witnesses by Attorney Wadsworth was to show that Jones was Incompetent to handle the fire and that the department under efficient direction could have saved the bulMlng with but little loss. All of the witnesses, however, were forced to admit that the water pressure was Inadequate. In addition to several member of the fire department, the witnesses examined yesterday were W. J. Anderson and A. i Adams of the Union Transfer company's force of employe. William Waugh, an employe of the Sandwich Manufacturing company, and Dr. George C. Brown.

At 10:68 last night the Jury, which went out shortly before 8 o'clock, brought In a verdict of assault with Intent to Inflict great bodily Injury. Dalley, who was employed as a trucker at the Union Pacific transfer, was on his way home one night, when he encountered a number of boys on Broadway near Twenty-third street.

SAYi IT MEANS BANKRUPTCY TO ROADS Bryan to Bo Elected, lie Predict, and This Would Be Followed by a Financial Crash, Acrordlna; to Railroad Frrlaht Man. (From a Staff Correpondent.) DE8 MOINES. May 23. (Special.) Hon. W. J. Bryan of Nebraska entered Into con sideration In the hearing of the Joint rate question before the Iowa Railroad commis sion today when W. B. Hamblln, general freight agent of .the Burlington, declared that Bryan will bo elected as the next president of the United States and that two years later there will be the greatest panic this country has ever known. He urged this as a reason for not reducing the railroad rate by putting In a Joint rate schedule. He argued that the political conditions will force half the railroad Into bankruptcy In the next five year If these conditions continue, and that lower freight rates will but hasten such bankruptcy. He argued that the railroad are now car rying all the tonnage they are able to carry and that the rates now In operation are low based on that big tonnage. He maintained that a short crop, which Is likely this year, or adverse business condi tions would greatly reduce this tonnage, and In consequence the earning capacity of the railroads, and that for that reason there should not be any lowering of the freight rates at this time. Mr. Hamblln argued to the commission that If It docs put In Joint rates they should be applied only to manufactured articles, such as farm Implements. He op posed the Idea of a Joint rate on coal and said a Joint rate on groceries should not even be thought of. He maintained that the request of tho coal operator for a Joint rate on coal 1 only with the desire of an operator to get over into territory of some other coal operator. He thought the freight rates at present In force In Iowa are universally too low and are lower than In other states. In opposition to Mr. Hamblln' arguments on coal It was advanced that the operators want Joint rutes In order to get Into west ern Iowa and northern Iowa, where there are no coal mines, and that the reason Mr, Hamblln opposed such rate Is that It would get this Iowa coal to the Con sumer on a short haul and cut out the long haul over the Burlington and other roads from the Indiana and other eastern coal fields. George TUtemore of the Iowa Central occupied considerable of the time of ths commission. He maintained that his road was ready to niako a Joint rate always wherever possible, but advanced the theory that any lowering of the rates will be injurious to the small roads, such aa those he represented. He argued also that an other road should not be cut out of a long haul on a commodity by being forced to make a Joint rats. Especially In the matter of coal rate he showed that a Joint rate might give a railroad only 46 cent on a haul where It took coal from another road, while by delivering coal from It own road on a longer haul It would make mors. The Joint rate would thua cut down Its earnings. Welch Gets Contract. W. W. Welch of Clarlnda ha been given the contract for the erection of the woman' Infirmary at Clarlnda for a little more than 254,000. The appropriation of the legislature w as 805,000. The other til, 000 will be spent In the furnishing and plumb ing and heating. Prosecutions at Muscatine. Through the efforts of State Labor Com missioner E. D. Brlgham seven prosecu tions have been brought about at Musca tine for violations of the child labor law.

One 6f the proprietors was fined $10 and the other three 15 each. Following a recent Inspec tion at which the factories were found to be complying with the law the proprietors discharged the greater number of the em ployes and hired children. The matter was tipped off to the factory Inspector and he returned unexpectedly the next day and caught them.
