JONES HEARING CONCLUDED
H Testimony Introduced Exoept in Eeeard
to Union Transfer Fire.
CASE CONSIDERED 1 0 BE DECIDEDLY WEAK
At Its Conclusion Commissioners An
nounce They Will Take Case Under
Advisement and Render an
Opinion Later.
The hearing of the charges filed against
Chief Jones of the fire department by O.
P. McKesson was completed yesterday be
fore the Fire and Police Commission. The
prosecution failed absolutely to offer any
evidence to substantiate any of the many
charges against the chief except that rela
tive to his alleged mismanagement of the
fire which destroyed the warehouse and
stock of the Union Transfer company. No
evidence was offered by the prosecution to
show that Chief Jones had been disre
spectful to bis superiors, whoever they
might be, or that he had failed to maintain
discipline In the department. The only
testimony offered by the prosecution that
Improper use of the engine houses had
been permitted by the chief was that In the ,
quarters of company No. 6 a brooder with j
a number of chickens had been found by j
the commissioners while making s tour
of the engine houses. O. P. McKesson, who
Mod the charges against Jones, did not
go on the stand and was not even present
at the hearing.
No witnesses were examined yesterday.
The only Instance offered was the report
of W. Klertsed, the hydraulic engineer em
ployed by the city In the water works
matter. The portion of his report In which
he called attention to the need of having
tho water mains In the Implement district
reinforced was offered by the defense,
while the prosecution offered the portion of
the report covering the water tests show
ing the pressure.
The consensus of opinion of those who
attended the hearing was that the prosecu
tion utterly failed to substantiate the
Charges against Chief Jones, Including that
of his alleged Incapable handling of the
Union Transfer company's fire.
At the conclusion of the hearing the com
mission announced that It would take the
matter under advisement.

Picnic Depends on Rates.
The holding of the annual picnic of the
Council Bluffs Retail Grocers' and Butch
ers' association picnic this year depends
upon the railroad rate that can be ob
tained. Owing to the enactment of the
state 2-cent fare law, there Is some doubt
as to whether the railroads will mako any
concessions for the picnic as heretofore.
The association members are of the opinion
that unless better than a 2-cent rate can
be obtained. It would be unwise to attempt
to hold tho picnic.
Julius Keppner, R. H. Huntington and
E. A. Countryman have been appolntod
a committee on transportation to confer
with the railroads and ascertain what can
be done In the matter of rates.

DES MOINES, la., May 24. (Special.)
The Iowa State Congregational association
has been holding its annual conference In
Grlnnoll today. Interest attaches to a
resolution adopted at the session this
morning. A resolution was offered declar
ing the association to be In favor of the
union of the Congregational, United Breth
ren and Protestant Episcopal churches of
America. This resolution was rejected by
a large majority. The movement for the
consolidation of these churches has been
progressing for the last three years and It
has been hoped that It would be consum
mated at the next general national con
ference of the Congregatlonallsts. That
may be true despite the fact that Iowa
and only ono or two other states have
been opposed. Iowa Is the first state where
the Congregatlonallsts are strong which
has turned down the overtures sent from
the higher body. It was argued that the
United Brethren and the Protestant Epls
copals both lean to a church organization
with bishops and church officers, whereas
this has been contrary to the policy of tho
Congregatlonallsts.
Rev. A. L. Frisble of Des Moines and
Rev. T. O. Douglas of Ottawa, president
and secretary of the Iowa Home Missions
board for the last twenty-flve years,
handed In their resignations. The next

Wool prices will probably rule lower this
year than for several years past, when 25
cents a pound and even higher prices have
been paid. With the ruling price at other
wool points, 25 cents will probably be
nearer the top than any other figure. The
clip which will be marketed here this year
will not be nearly so large this year as
formerly on aoeonnt of the Lyman county
wool going oat over the Milwaukee road
Instead of coming to this city. This year
will end the wool market here, as ship

after this. With present conditions re
quiring transfer by boat here, many of the

DON'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Distribution of Sprint- Mtrehandiss Con
tinues Backward.
CONFIDENCE NOT GENERALLY SHAKEN
Ilalna and Warmer Weather Ilciuove
Host of the Anxiety that Was
Felt Over the Crpp
Situation.
NEW YORK, May 24. R. Q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trado tomorrow wll say:
Further progress was made In the dis
tribution of spring merchandise this week,
but the season Is still very backward and
much stock will be carried over. Confi
dence Is not generally shaken, although
some evidences of caution followed tne
violent rise In prices of wheat and fre
quent rumors' of crop disasters. Latest re
ports indicate that warm weather In some
states and much needed rains in other sec
tions have given the tardy igraln and cotton
a better start. Leading manufacturing in
terests have not curtailed operations, sev
eral advances in wages have occurred and
there are numerous encouraging develop
ments to offset the slow progress on farms,
including more prompt mercantile collec
tions at many cities. Mucn new business
Is now pending In the iron and steel Indus
try and a large tonnage was placed during
the last week, but the furnaces and mills
are sold so far ahead that interest is great
in specifications on old orders. As these are
of noteworthy Blze it is evident that con
sumption Is fully maintained and no set
back can be discerned in any department.
A conspicuous feature Is the demand for
bars from makers of agricultural Imple
ments. This business Is larger than last
year's, indicating that no anxiety reearding
tho crops Is felt In this industry, although
wholly dependent on tho prosperity of tne
farmer. Business In street rails includes
large quantities for Japan and China and
large quantities for delivery during the
first half of next year, while light rail
traction companies are under negotiation,
but this large tonnage depends upon funds
being raised for projected lines. Structural
steel mills still have extensive Inquiries for
office buildings, factories and railway
bridges, most of the pressure coming from
western cities. ... .
In the textile Industries the event of
most Interest during the weeic wus tho
Increased firmness In cotton goods on ao
count of the sharp rise in cost of raw
mnterlal from many buyers.
While leather is not especially active,
there Is a good movement of sale, but slda
upper has declined still further. All for.
elgn hides are weaker, owing to the poor
business of European tanners, Several
grades are fractionally lower for the week
because stocks have accumulated, tanners
buying less than tho slaughterer.
Improvement Is noted in woolen goods.
URADSTBEUT8 REVIEW OF TKAIIK
Reports Are Irregular, hnt Slight
Improvement Is Visible.
NEW YORK, May 24. Dradstroct's to
morrow will say:
Crop and trade ae Irregular, but there Is
a slight Improvement visible as a whole,
owing to higher temperatures. Tills is most
marked in the rain growing sections of tho
west, southwest and northewest where
warm rains has encouraged crop sentiment
and buying. Leading eastern traders re-
fort business lagging, while the coun
ry's distributive trade needs steady warm
weather to enable the heavy rail business
of the spring of 19WS being equalled.
Relatively, the best reports as to whole
rale and retail trade come from the l'aclrlc
northwest. In the central west, southwest.
