Fifteenth District.
By the ruling of Judge Wheeler in dis
trict court yesterday that he had not au
thority to issue a writ of mandamus as
asked by the city to compel J. C. Hol
lenbeck to remove a building frdm the
public streets and to require the Inde
pendent and Nebraska Telephone com
panies to remove their cables and wires
In order to permit to do so, Hollenbeck
Is placed in a position where he appar
ently oannot help himself. As under the
ruling of the court the case cannot come
up for hearing before the next term of
court, which opens August 17, City So
licitor Kimball will advise the olty coun
cil to either close the street or fenoe oft
that portion on which the building Is,
In order to avoid any liability for dam
ages that might result from the present
obstruction of the thoroughfare bjr the
house.
In Its petition the city asked that the
court order. the house moved off the street
to Its proposed destination to determine
the route along which the building should
be moved, to order the telephone com
panies to remove their wires and cables
to permit this being done and to deter
mine at whoso cost the removal of these
wires and cables should be.
Counsel for the telephone companies
contended that the court had no right to
grant a temporary writ In such a pro
ceeding and that the case would have to
follow the regular procedure and come
up at the second term of court after it
was filed. Judge Wheeler, who heard
arguments on this phase of . the con
troversy Thursday afternoon handed
down his ruling on convening court yes
terday morning. The ruling' sustained
the contention of counsel for the tele
phone companies.
The ruling of the court came somewhat
Sa surprise to City Solicitor Kimball, al
ough It has been long conceded by the
bar that the mandamus law of Iowa needa
amondlng.
Under the ordinance granting franchises
to the telephone companies the city has the
prerogative to cut the wires Itself In such
cases where the companies refuse to, and It
la possible that the city may exercise this
prerogative, although nothing probably will
be done before the city council meets at the
regular session .on July 1.
Pair of Damas Salts.
Mrs. Lizzie B. Smith, who owns and oc
cupies a residence on Mynster street close
to the north bank of Indian creek near
North Main street bridge, yesterday
brought suit to recover (1,000 damages from
the Council Bluffs Carpet Cleaning com
pany. The defendant company occupies a
building on North Main street and It Is al
leged by Mrs. Smith to have constructed a
covered alley from the room In which the
carpets are oleaned to the south bank of
the creek, or about sixty to seventy feet
from her tiouse. The air pressure used In
cleaning the. carpets. It Is alleged by Mrs.
Smith, blows the dust, dirt and offensive
odors from the carpets Into her house,
much to her discomfort and to the danger
of her health. She asks that the company
be enjoined from blowing the dust, dirt and
offensive odors through the covered alley
complained of.
P. S. Kennedy, as administrator of the
estate of Guy ES Kennedy, deceased, died
suit yesterday against the Rock Island
Railway company for 30,000 damages. Ouy

Last Call for Ditch Assessment.
The supervisors of Pottawattamie county
In session yesterday as a drainage board
decided that assessments on the Pigeon
creek drainage ditch cannot be paid after
July 1. The supervisors have granted ex
tensions from time to time In which the
assessments might be paid by the owners
of land benefited by the ditch In order that
the bond Issue might be made as small as
possible. The time, however, when action
on the bond Issue must be taken Is now ap
proaching and those who want to avoid
payment of Interest on their assessments
will have to settle with the county treas
urer before July L County Treasurer
Mitchell reported to the board that up to
date there had been paid $19,400 of the total
assessment of about $42,000.
The contract called for the completion
cf the djtch by July 1, tut owing to a break
down In the dredging machinery a abort
time ago it Is expected that the board will
be called upon to grant an extension.
There Is about one mile of the ditch yet
to be dug, one stretch being about eight
feet In depth.
The board thought It best not to draft the
resolutions for the bond Issue yesterday,
but to await until the last session laws
are Issued, It being feared that otherwise
there might be serious errors which would
possibly Invalidate the Issue. The , board
will meet again July 9 at which time It
Is expected copies of the new laws will
be on hand.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. June 22. (Special.) At
the closing session of the convention of
the Christian churches of Iowa today,
Rev. J. MacWIUIams was elected presi
dent of the association for one year. The

sponding secretary. Assembly officers
elected were: Chairman, Rev. 8. C. Med
bury of Des Moines; G. B. Van Arsdall,
Cedar Rapids; Arthur Long, Burlington;
recording secretary, T. J. O'Connor; B. C.
Rest.
While the decision to make next year's
assembly of the denomination an outdoor
Chautauqua affair Is allowed to stand, the
convention decided to leave the selection
of the place to the officers of the asso
ciation Instead of fixing on the Des
Motnes Chautauqua grounds as. first de
cided. This action Is tecause the Des
Moines grounds are said to be In bad
shape and unsulted for the purpose unless

ment of the premiums, and this amount
with Interest at 6 per cent will be patd
to the father-in-law.

to the belief of Simon Nevlns of Iowa
City. Nevlns, riding a bicycle, fell and
broke his leg. When he recovered con
sciousness, his wife became 111, and her

badly hurt this evening. He was assist
ing In unloading a mowing machine. The
man helping him ran a large plank under
the drive wheels and was supposed to run
the mower to the ground on the plank, but
In prying up the machine It was thrown
over the wrong way and Mr. Kinney was
caught, the machine falling on him and
cutting a deep gash In his head. He was
rendered unconscloua for a time, and It
was at first thought he had been killed
outright. He was taken to his home,
where his wound was sewed up by Dr.
Robertson, and at 10 o'clock he was con
scious and resting as easily as could be
expected. Mr. Kinney Is 60 years old.
MISSOURI VALLISY In a runaway this
morning Mrs. Schuelmelster and two little
girls were injured by being thrown from
the trap In which they were riding. Flor
ence, the older girl, Jumped and escaped
with only slight bruises. Just before the
horee turned from the street onto a lawn,
and thinking that he would strike the
house, Mrs. Schuelmelster attempted to
Jump, but caught her foot In the wheel
and was fragged about 100 feet. When
the bystanders reached her she was In
sensible and was lound to have a cut In
aer head about four Inches long. The
horse ran about a block alter Mrs. fechuel
melster became freed and turned down
Fifth street, upsetting the buggy aud
throwing Gertrude, who had clur.g to tho
seat, to the ground. When she was picked
up she was unconscious and was carried
to a doctor's office, and was found to have
received no Injuries more serious than
bruises. After carrying Mrs. Schuelmelster
to her home tho doctor made an examina
tion and found no bones broken, and as
far as known now the cut In her head
Is the most serious of her Injuries.
MRS. KAUFMANN AtTlANDREAU
Not Likely She Will Return to Sloax
Falls at Present, It
nt All.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 22.-1 Special
Telegram.) Mrs. Emma Kaufmann did
not return to her home In this city today
from Flandreau and it Is possible she may
not return here for some weeks or even
months. It Is understood that she will re
main In Flandreau for about a week. In
formation concerning her Is withheld, but
It would not be surprising If she. Instead
of returning to Sioux Falls Immediately or
In the near futuro, would go from Flan
dreau to some eastern summer resort and
remain there until fall as was the case
last year after she had been admitted .to
ball by the state supreme court At that
time she passed the summer at a Wis
consin summer resort, returning in
the fall only a little time before the
convening of the fall term of court at
which she made application for and was
granted a continuance until the April term
of court, when she secured a change of
venue to the circuit court of Moody
county. If it is decided that Mrs. - Kauf
mann shall spend the summer at a resort
It is probable she will return to South
Dakota only In time for her appearance
on October 21 at Flandreau, at which time
Judge Smith will pronounce aentence In the
case In the event that the motion to be
made by her attorneys for a new trial Is
denied by Judge Smith.

At a meeting of the Central Labor union
Friday night It was decided to boycott

that aggregation will visit Omaha this sum

age must come elsewhere than from union
labor men. This action was taken be
cause the show bills and colored posters
used by Ringllng Bros, are printed by non
union workmen. The label committee re
ported that the club room of the musical
union Is selling nonunion cigars, and that
one member of that organization Is driving
a wagon that distributes such clgara. A
committee was appointed to visit ths va
rious clubs of the city for the purpose of
ascertaining which ones are handling non
union clgara.
A committee was appointed to arrfengt

TURKISH CARPET MEN COMBINE
Extreme Donbt la Felt Whether Rise
In Prices Can Be Arranged ""teres

Fields Is Apparent.
VIENNA. June 22. (Special.) Under
the title of the Amalgamated OrUntnl
Carpet Manufacturers, the carpet manu
facturers and agents In Turkey have
formed a trust, or combine, with head
quarters here In Vienna. The principal
dealers In Turkey, horn-ever, both whole
sale and retail, control their own looms.
It Is extremely doubtful, however, aa to
whether a rise In prices can be arranged.
The fourth International congress of
delegates of the Master Cotton Spinners'
and Manufacturers' associations has Just
been held here under the most fayoraltlo
of auspices.
Herr Kuffler said that the congress had
grown In usefulness, as was shown by
the presence for the first. time of direct
representatives of the American planters.
The only person they wanted to exclude
was the manipulator, who was no good to
anybody except himself. The cotton trad
was, perhaps, the only trsde organized on
a permanent International basis, and tholr
statistics, which had been warmly wel
comed by the Washington statistical
bureau, led the way for the compilation
of trustworthy universal statistics of all
raw materials, which was the aim of ths
newly created Institute of agriculture
and which would be of first Importance
In the management of all trades.
Reviews Work of Year.
Mr. C. W. Macara, chairman of the In
ternational committee, In a review of the
work of the year, reported that the Cotton
Employers' association In Japan had
Joined the federation, and that several of.
the cotton using countries were forming
associations with a view to becoming
amalgamated. He pointed out that tho
half-yearly statistics of cotton In the
hands of spinners prepared by the fed
eration now applied to 17,000,000 splndUs
more than were Included the year before,
and that by harmonious working arrange
ments with the census bureau at Wash
ington they had now had actual returns
from nearly 100,000,000 spindles. When to
this were added trustworthy figures pro
vided by the International Institute of
Agriculture as to the supply of raw cot
ton they would have two sets of statistics
of Inestimable value, which would do
much to counteract all attempts at tho
manipulation of prices. In the meantime
strenuous efforts were being made to rid
the trade of the course of Illegitimate
speculation In cotton futures. As re
garded cotton growing the most remark
able development during the year was In
East Indian cotton, the government fore
cast showing an Increase of more than a
1,000,000 bales. Recently a cotton Investi
gation commltte from England visited
the United States, and In a report on a
proposal for the acquisition of land In the
southern states for experimental cotton
growing, stated 'that any attempt of the
kind on the limited scale to which thoy
were authorized to commit themselves
would not bs commercially successful.
But having In view the great value find
Importance of an experiment carried out on
the lines suggested, the association con
sidered that the subject should be brought
before the International congress.
Itrtorn on Capital In Industry.
Concluding, Mr. Macara said experience
had conclusively proved that speaking gen
erally the return on capital Invested In
staple Industries throughout the world. If
taken over a period of years, showed only
a moderate average profit. Such being the
case. Incalculable mischief might be done
by giving undue prominence to profits made
over a short period and under special condi
tions and Ignoring the losses which might
have been suffered at other periods. This
was most misleading, not only to the In
vesting public, but to the wage earners
and Indirectly led to overproduction and
industrial strife. How much could be ac
complished by organization and united
action the last three years' working of the
International federation had conclusively
demonstrated.
Mr. Harvle Jordan, president of, the
Southern Cotton Planters' association, said
that under the Impetus of modern thought
and education the American cotton planters
had awakened to the needs of giving'
greater Intelligence to growing, gathering,
ginning, baling, storing, transporting and
marketing their great crop, so as to place
the stsple In the hands of spinners In a
better and more acceptable condition than
before. The growers of American cotton
were being rapidly taught better methods
of culture and greater care In the selection
of seed, so that the staple would bo greatly
Improved In both length and textile
strength. He wished to disabuse the minds
of spinners of any Intention on the part
of American cotton growers to organise
for the purpose of unduly advancing the
price of their cotton to unreasonable fig
ures or to undertake In anywise to so ex
ercise the monopoly of cotton production
which they now realized they possessed
as to Jeopardize or Injure the steady prog
ress of the spinning Industry of the world.
Cotton Futures aa Evil.
. Perhaps the greatest recognised evil of
the cotton Industry was speculation In cot
ton futures. Their association had been
conducting a vigorous campaign against In
stitutions called "local cotton exchanges",
and "bucket shops," and they had secured
prohibitive legislation In the large cotton
growing states of North and South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama and Texas and Ar
kansas. America would no longer submit
to the control of ths price of their cotton
by a horde of gamblers and speculators,
who neither produced, spun nor wove the
staple.
Mr. Henry Glgson of England submitted
a paper prepared by the British Cotton
Growing association. He said that not
withstanding the fact that the cotton crop
of the United States In 19K was one of the
largest yet grown, the scarcity of good
cotton was greater than ever, and cotton
of good spinning quality was fetching today
exceptionally high prices. There was, there
fore, every necessity for pushing on the
development of new cotton fields and more
especially of those which could produce cot
ton better than middling American. Nor
was the danger of the situation In any
way altered. Europe was today Just as
much as ever dependent on one part ot the
world for Its main supplies and therefore'
at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather
In the cotton states of America. It had
now proved that all of the cotton required
for the cotton trade of Great Britain could
be grown within the limits of the British
empire, but the Industry would require
fostering for many years, and It was essen
tial that the British Cotton Growing asso
ciation should become a permanent Institu
tion. Yrrkcs Tub la Completed.

Lady Godlrn liaises Storm.
A storm of Indignation has been aroused
at Coventry by the decision that La Mile
shall represent Lady Oodlva In the pageant
and only In fleshllngs and a transparent
gauze cloak.
Residents are appalled at the decision
and are declaring that the procession must
not be tolerated. Among those Interviewed
la Canon Beaufort, an influential church
man, who has resided In Coventry for more
than forty years.
"The entire thing Is unspeakably vulgar,
he said. "Nay, I will go farther and say
that It Is positively demoralizing and thut
the whole bualness ought to be stopped."
Canon Atkinson, another leading church
man, declared:
"I hope that It will yet bo killed through
a lack of Interest and a falling off In the
subscriptions. I am afraid that It Is not
Illegal or we would certainly press an In
junction agalruU It."
Rev. F. M. Brodle, the vicar of Christ
church, said among otlier things: "Such an
exhibition Is sensual and devilish. I sug
gest that a meeting of the clergymen of
the town, Nonconformist as well as Church
of England, be cat' The people of this
town do not want Immorality encouraged
they are desirous of suppressing It."
Rer. W. H. C. Palmer, pastor of the
Congregational church, said that there was
only one possible view that was right. "On
more than one occasion," he stated, "the
Nonconformist ministers have made strong
representations tc the authorities concern
ing certain 'turns' at public entertain
ments. There can therefore be no question
as to what our feeling Is regarding an ex.
hlbltlon In the streets of what we object
to In the comparative privacy of the muslo
halls."
He added that he would certainly co
operate In any movement by the other
clergy to prevent this outrage on publio
opinion.
Control of European Market Next.
Other Important developments besides the
purchase of the La Plata company are ex
pected to follow, as purchase negotiations
have been In progress for some time past.
The Chicago packers expect with the enor
mous resources at their command they
will have little trouble In buying up a
majority of the Argentine meat freezing
companies. The price paid for tlie La
Plata business Is not disclosed, but It can
be fairly well estimated from the fact,
that the capital of the company, which was
registered In Buenos Ayres In 1903, Is
$2,000,000.. Its principal business ' was tho ,
export of frozen and chilled meat to Eng-
land.
A remarkable story of half-pennies be
ing substituted for half-sovereigns was
told at the Manchester city police court
when Henry Douglas Anderson, who had
been employed at the Manchester branch
of the Bank of England and after ab
sconding had been arrested In Canada
I rhtrrnl with tllnv ftR ftrA
In stating the case for the prosecu
tion Mr. F. F. Smith, M. P., said that
the prisoner's duty Waa that of sepa
rating light weight gold coins from those
of full weight, and he had to put the full
I weight coins Into bags, which he had to
label and sign. On July 81 he absented him
self and on August 2 the bank Issued
twenty-five bags of half-sovereigns to
Messrs. Williams, Deacon's bank, and four
teen of them, which had been made up by
the prisoner, were found io have been
tampered with, half-sovereigns having b n
replaced by the necessary number of half
pennies to make up the correct weight.
The prisoner practically admitted his
j guilt.

MELBOURNE, June tt.-Speclal.)-One
of the most Interesting and momentous rail
way schemes ever put forward to be
bracketed with the Canadian Pacific and
the Transstberian lines Is about to be
taken In hand by the commonwealth gov
ernment. Arrangements have practically
been made between the commonwealth gov
ernment and the Bouth Australian ministry
subject to the consent of both parliaments
by which South Australia will raise In the
London market a loan guaranteed and to
be ulltmately taken over by the common
wealth government for the purpose of con
structing a railway line across Australia
from north to south, which In turn will be
connected with western Australia on the
west, and Queensland, New South Wales
and Victoria on the east.
This will mean the development of the
"back blocks" of Australia containing
hundreds of millions of acres of some of
the finest pastoral country in the world
and a considerable area of . mineralised
country. The total cost of construction of
the Transaustrallan line will probably not
be less than $FA000 O00. The branch connect
ing with Kalgoorlle will probably require
not lesa than $J,000,000, and the eastern,
jl
states will also come Into the market as
borrowers In order to carrr out their por

mediate effects of the carrying Into execu
