On and after 8undaj, December 15, sa
loons In Ccuncll Bluffs are to be conducted
atrlctly according to the mulct law. Yes
terday every saloon keeper in the city re
ceived from County Attorney J. J. Hei a
notice to thla effect- The notice la brlof
aad to the point It merely Informs the
saloon keeper that commencing on tht
dale named he nut conduct his place In
accordance with the rulei prescribed by the
law
The Intention of the authorities to enforce
th mulct law In Council Bluffs la the di
rect reault of Attorney General Byers'
reoent announcement that he had decided
to apend the reat of hia term of office In
enforcing the state law governing saloons.
Thla move on the part of Attoney General
Byers waa brought about by the recent
saloon troubles in Davenport.
A few days ago County Attorney Hess re
ceived a communication from the attorney
general In which the latter stated that he
had good reason to believe that the mulct
law was not being enforced In Council
Bluffs, and "suirgested" that It ought to
be. Further, the attorney general ex
pressed the opinion that there, ought to be
no delay In enforcing the law and enforc
ing It strictly. Acting on the "suggestion"
of the attorney general, Mr. Hess at once
pent notice to every saloon keeper In the
city that the mulct law must be lived up to.
When seen yesterday Mr. Hess said:
"While Attorney General Byers suggested
that the enforcement of the provisions of
I he mulct law be begun at once, I decided
that no harm would be done by allowing
the saloon men one week In which to make
the necessary changes In their places.
They will have a week In which to remove
all screens, swinging doors and anything
else which might tend to prevent a clear
view of the interior of the saloons from
the outside. It Is my Intention that the
mulct law be strictly and Impartially en
forced. No favoritism will be shown, and
every saloon, no matter where located,
mill have to live up to the law now."
Under the mulct law there can be no
screens, swinging doors or anything else
that will prevent a view of the Interior
from the outside. No chairs or tables are
pormltted In the room In which the saloon
K and there can be but one door. The law
also provides that all the liquor must be
contained. In the one room, and this means
that beer cannot be kept In a cellar under
noath the saloon and pumped up as Is the
case now In practically every saloon.
There can be no music machines, slot ma
chines or anything of such a character In
. the saloon. Under the mulct law saloons
must close at 10 p, m., and not open before
I a. m. They must be kept closed on Sun
day and all holidays and on election days.
The proprietor of one of the leading sa
loons of the city In. discussing the county
attorney's notice said: "I am not at all
surprised at receiving this notice. Ever
since the trouble at Davenport, and the
pert taken by Governor Cummins, I have
been looking for something like this. It
. ... v, .ti a .1 . . . . v,,Lwawva .a.aavu. a,w
tlalKy, but It will be all wrong If some
saloons are permitted, a they have been in
the put, to evade the law while others
, have been required to obey it. If we are
all treated alike, It will be all right."
Water Bat Ordinances.
At the meeting of the city oouncil It
Is announced one or more of the council
man will move to take the three water rate
ordinances. Introduced, respectively, by
by Counollmen Fleming, Smith and Tounk-
, ernian, out of the committee of the whole
and take some aotlon on them. Council
mas Maloney, It Is said, will move to pass
the ordinance at present In foroe, with the
exception that It eliminates the minimum
meter rate. Couitenman Smith's ordlnanoe.
which does away entirely with flat rates
and requires every conaumer of water to
use a meter, is said t be wholly lmprao
Ucable. The putting In of meters would
' usee ttate an expenditure by the water
works company of, between (40,000 and (50,
P0, and In view of the fact that It has
. not at present a franchise. It would not
be likely to be willing to expend such an
amount. It waa said yesterday that Coun
i oilman Fleming's ordlnanoe would hare
enough votes to pass it.

UNIFORM COUNTY ACCOUNTS
Commission Appointed by Iowa Legis
lature Swamped with Work.
FIVE HUNDRED FORMS ADOPTED
Only Partial Beport Can Be Blade by
First ef Year Opposition to
Conarenaman Hnll Is
Developing.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Dec. t. (Special.) The
Uniform County Accounts commission Is
swamped and the chances are It will have
to get together a hastily arranged report,
file It with Auditor Carroll and call the
work done. Members of the commission
are convinced that their work cannot be
done in the way It should be and have It
finished by January 1, the time when the
counties are required to put In operation
the system.
The commission has adopted 100 blank
formrs to be used la the county treasurers'
offices of the state, 114 blanks for the aud
itors', and there will be about SOD blanks
for the county clerka None of the state
officials Vior members of the legislature bad
any Idea that there were so many or that
the task would be so great.
The last legislature provided that each
county should use the same system of ac
counts, and to secure a uniform system. It
directed the auditor to appoint a commis
sion of county officials or ex-county officials
to provide the blanks that should be used.
A commission of keven was appointed and
this commission has been at work ever
since the first of last Jury. The members
serve without pay. only their expenses be
ing paid by the state.
It was the expectation of the legislature
and of Auditor Carroll as well that the
commission would be able to formulate
a report inalde of a few days. The com
mission met, appointed the county treas
urers on the commission as a subcommittee
to draft the blanks for the treasurers' offi
ces, the clerks to prepare the blanks for
that office and the auditors the blanks for
the auditors' offices. The commission then
adjourned 'and the subcommittees have
been at work at their homes and by corre
spondence, the entire commission having
met here three or four times during the
summer.
County Clerk Dewell of Algona turned
over his office to his deputy and has been
working ever since the first meeting of the
commission on the blanks to be used In
county clerks offices. The subcommittee
hss completed and the commission has
adopted about 200 of these and there are
yet about 100 more to be completed and
passed upon. It was the hope of the com
mission that proofs of the various blanks
could be printed and revised before Anally
adopted. It Is now decided that this is out
of the question, with the exception of those
which were gotten to the state printer
early. The printing of the sample blanks
will cost the state about $1,000, there are
so many of them. ,
It Is believed now that the work .of this
commission can be used only as a founda
tion on which to work, and It will be neces
sary for the next session of the legislature
to arrange to complete ths work. The
blanks adopted by the commission will
cover all the blanks that must necessarily
be used In the county ofllces of the state.
Because of Insufficient time, the commis
sion has been oompelled to prepare only
the more Important blanks. If the next
legislature appoints another commission.
it will probably be with more time In which
to work and with some provision for com
pensation for the work done.
In the opinion of members of the com
mission the next legislature should pro
vide for a system of county account In
spection by state Inspectors, Just as Is
done now In the Inspection 'of the mu
nicipal accounts. The trend of opinion
of public officials Is that a separate de
partment of state should be provided for
the ihspeotlon of both county and mu
niolpal accounts and that this department
should be provided with sufficient In
spectors so that It can not only audit the
books, but look Into the expenditure of
public money and asoertaln whether the
taxpayers are getting their money's worth
In other words, the Inspectors will be
used to Inquire Into the efficiency of
county and city officials and not merely
determine whether or not their books bal'
anoe.

The famous paintings that attracted so
much attention after they were removed
from the supremo oourt room may And a
resting place on the walls of the reading
room In the Iowa Historical building,
When ths Are occurred a couple of years
ago the water loosened these pictures
from the walls of the supreme oourt room.
They wers the first decorative ptotures
to be put in a public building west of the
Mississippi river. They were Greek
mythology representations. It waa found
necessary to remove them after the fire
end the canvasses were rolled up and pre
served.
When Ouernay waa employed to decorale
the state house1 these pictures did not
fit In with the soheme of decorations for
the reat of the building and hence they
were not put back. Those who did not
like the Querns? painting found additional
cause here for complaint. Assistant Cura
tor Harlan dug the canvasses up out of
storage and the matter la now being con
sidered of patting them on the walls of
the reading room of the historical build
ing. The paintings, curiously enough, will
just fit the panels that are available for
that purpose. Curator Aldrlch Indorsee

exaoutlve council will have them put on

The glass floor In ths rotunda of the state

so as to provide for more light and ven

Opposltloa far Ball.
A short time ago Captain Hull waa
quoted In Washington as stating that
neither of the tw,o Polk county possible
candidates for congress In the Seventh
district would enter the race, leaving the
Inference that be bad fixed It up so that
there would not be any opposition to per
petual continuance In offloo of the
doughty captain. But It appears that there
Is to be a fight and a warm one. Sena
tor Warren of Marlon county, who waa
In the city a few days ago, declared that
he will soon make announcement of his
candidacy. It la hia Intention to enter the
fight and make an active canvass of the
district. He will endeavor to speak lu
as many school houses la the district as
possible and will visit every town of
considerable importance. He will have
back of him a large element of the party
which believes that Ufa. tenure in con
gressional positions Is not conducive to
the beat government. Senator Warren has
been an active member of the legislature
and the state senate for several seaalons
and has been especially active la labor
legislation. He la a good speaker and a
man of sound judgment.
There has been talk that either Senator
Dowell or N. E. Coffin, both residents of
Des Moines, would be opposed to Hull,
be. Then an earnest effort was made to
Induce Judge E. B. Nichols to become a
candidate, but he will not do so. There
has also been some talk of .Speaker Clarke,
who was also suggested as a candidate
for governor. It Is now certain that
Clarke will not be a candidate for gov
ernor, but that there will be a uniting on
Lieutenant Oovernor Garst, who Is a can
dl.lste for governor.
The frlenda of Hull believe that he will
have no difficulty In securing the renom
Inatlon tir the seventh or eighth time.
They count upon the fact that nearly all
trie rrpublUans In Des Moines will vote
lor a Des Moines man as against anyone
living In an 11-er county.
At what age shall Senator Harlan be
represented In the statue that Is to be
placed In the hall of fame In Washington?
With some men this would be a' smsll
question. Senator Allison has looked about
the samo for a generation. With Senator
Harlan It Is a Vital matter because of the
fact that when In public life he was a
young appearing man of much vigor with
a bushy beard, but smooth upper Up and
bushy hair. Both hair and beard were
black. When ha died he was a kindly
appearing old man with gray . beard and
moustache and' very scant gray hair. One
not acquainted with the man If shown
two pictures of him of different ages
would not know that It waa the earns man.
The executive council Is at this time
considering the proposition and Is endeav
oring to decide at what age the man shall
be represented In the statue. Miss Nellie
V. Walker of Moulten and thethers who
will contest for the wor of making the
figure are delaying beginning work till the
council decides.
Represented as he appesred when he
died In 1899 would be as the present gen
eration knew him. Then,' however, he had
long been out of pjbllc life, having been
defeated for re-election to the United
States senate by William B. Allison. It la
argued that the statue - at Washington
will be In existence for thousands of years
and future generations will know of Harlan
In history and not In retired life.
It is argued that In future generations
the school boy will read that Harlan was
in Lincoln's cabinet and going to Washing
ton will see a statue of Lincoln In a
"dicky" and tall hat and old-fashioned
clothes of the period of 1M0, Turning to
Harlan, who was in his cabinet and con
sequently contemporaneous with him, he
will find a man dressed In the clothes of
1900, with a collar and necktie.
There Is still a further question In the
matter and that Is, should the statue
represent htm as he appeared in Lincoln's
cabinet or aa he appeared later In the
United States senate. It will be remembered
that In 1871 or thereabouts Harlan made
a great speech In the senate on the San
Domingo matter, which has been consid
ered the greatest speech In the senate
since Webster's reply to Haynes. Harlan
answered Sumner and Carl Bchur. There
Is a comfortable difference in the appear
ance of the man when he was In the cab
inet and when he was last in the senate.
the principal difference being In the shape
of the whiskers. '
It Is understood that his relatives pre
fer the statue to represent him as he ap
peared In the Bfumedi painting In the
portrait gallery In the Iowa Historical
building. This portrait cost the state of
Iowa f 1,000 and la by a famous Italian
painter. It presents htm abut as he was
when last In . the', United States senato,
with a beard, but no moustache.

"oldest Inhabitant" failed to recall a "Sab

Incidentally, the police department dem
onstrated that It was equally effective In
enforcing obnoxious or popular statutes.

goes.
There were few attempts to evade the
law following Police Commissioner Bing

tertainments must cease, in accordance
with Justice "Gorman's Interpretation of
the Sunday closing act. Over In Brooklyn

day and In a few Instances, in the strong

Broadway ta Deeerted.
The effect of the Sunday closing was
everywhere apparent Broadway was de
serted except for those who found nothing
better to do than to walk the streets. The
hush throughout the great white way was
painful to - ears accustomed to the week
day noises and Sunday harmonies. Upon
the doors of the opera houses, theaters,
music "halls, dancing academies, skating
rinks and penny arcades placards had
been posted. These bluntly announced that
the places had been closed for the day in
accordance with Justice CQorman's deci
sion. .At the theaters the box offices were
closed and the advance sales for the week
interrupted.
At the various branches of the Young
Men's Christian association the usual Sun
day programs were radically changed. The
stereoptlcon exhibitions Illustrating scrip
tural tests and moving pictures, which
have been a feature of the Sunday afternoon
meetings were suspended for the day. The
services followed strictly religious lines.
Nothing that In any way suggested a
diversion was permitted.
Another honored Institution which found
It necessary to abbreviate Its usual pro
gram was the Educational alliance, where
Sunday lectures and entertainments of an
Instructive order have long been held.
Today the alliance opened Its reading
rooms to visitors, but no lecture or enter
tainment was given. It was, however, an
nounced that the lectures probably would
be resumed next Sunday.
In the foreign sections the residents
were much bewildered by the new order.
The closing of the Chinese theater was
looked upon by many of its accustomed
patrons as an 111 omen.
The Greeks, Russians and Scandinavians,
who were turned away from their dancing
academies and other resorts, shook their
heads dubiously while they argued over the
merits of the law. Coney Island was shut
up tight and the few who visited the resort
spent the day strolling the beaches.
The United German societies met at Ter
race garden this afternoon and appointed
a committee to begin an agitation looking
to the amendment of the law by the legis
lature, so that musical entertainments will
be permitted on Sunday.

. The blue Sunday restraint was applied
only to places of amusement and tonight
some of the theatrical men declared that
from a saloon standpoint the town was
unusually wide open. It was not denied
that all plaoes having licenses of any de
scription had done a big business, but the
police Insisted that they had not permitted
any violation of the liquor law.
As the evening grew late and the crowds
left the cafes, Broadway began to fill up
and soon a throng such as Is seen on New
Years' eve and election night was moving
up and down the popular thoroughfare.
Why they were ttiere none seemed to
know or care. It was a happy, harmless
assortment from all conditions of life and
only the addition of confetti and "ticklers"
was locking to make the scene character
istic of a carnival night. The paraders
as a rule were orderly.
