i Thomaa Malony, democrat ana memoer
i of the present council, was yesterday
J elected mayer by a majority approxlmat
j Ing 600 ever Wallace, the republican nom
' inee. Detailed returns are slow coming
In, as tho count is slow owing to the large
amount of scratching. Enough Is known,
I however, to make the result of mayor
j certain.'
In eleven out of thirteen precincts
Maloney has 2,1 S3 votes and Wallace 1.991.
' a majority for Maloney of 462. The two
missing precincts will run his majority
: up to over BOO.
i Of tho other general officers of the
iclty the republicans re-elected three of
' the present incumbents and the democrats
also re-elected three to positions now held
by them.
Tho new council will stand three rcpub
' llrans and five democrats. The democrats
control the present council.
Political Lines Brolien Down. .
Tho result of the election demonstrates
that party politics was eliminated to a very
great extent, at least so far aa the vot
ing on the head of tho ticket was concerned.
It shows also that Mr. Wallace not only
did not get anything like his party vote,
but did not draw very largely from the
domocratlo vote "Wallace did not get the
' vote of 3 per cent of the business men,"
declared a well known republican and
leading merchant of the city last night.
Mr. Wallace's radical position on- the
water works question undoubtedly turned
many In the republican party against him,
during the last two weeks of tho cam
paign.
The election probably excited more Inter
est than for many years In this city. The
democrats were well organized," while
the republican ticket lacked the support of
tho old organization of what was known
as "tho machine" of former years. The
lack of organization among the rejubllcana
was demonstrated at the polls In many of
tho precincts. In every precinct the dem
oerats had efficiently organized working
forces, hut, the real workers on the repub
lican aide were few and far between.
Notwithstanding tho keenness of the con
test and the large crowds at the polling
places, the day paesed off without any dls
tiiihnnccs. , '
Two years ao tho republicans elected
nix out of the eight councllmen treasurer,
auditor, solicitor and park commissioner
lille the democrats elected the mayor, two
councllmen, engineer, assessor and super
lntndrnt of marktu. The last named of
fice has since become an appointive one.
Two years aso Dr. Macrae's majority over
W. F. Scpp, the republican candidate for
mayor, was 183. ,
and other friends of General Dodge and
Secretary Taft.
Between 8 and S p'clock In the afternoon
there will be a public reception at the
Elks' club house, at which the citlsens of
Council Bluffs will be afforded an Cppor
tunlty to greet the distinguished guest. At
this reception there will be music but no
speeches. In the evening some time .before
the Commercial club banquet, the secretary
will make a public address from a platform
to be erected In front of the Elks' club
house, or in that immedlato vicinity.
Secretary Taft has not announced the
subject of his address at the banquet. In
response to a telegram requesting the sub
ject of his address Secretary Taft asked
that his name be placed on the program
merely for an address, without announce
ment of subject.
Hon. Lafayette Toung of Des Moines
will speak at the banquet upon the subject.
"Booming States and Booming Cities."
Hon. Charles M. Harl of this city will take
as the subject of his address. "The Com
mercial Club." Ths subject of C. W. Dick
son of Sioux City, the other speaker, has
not been announced.
General Orenvllle M. Dodge, who was
elected to preside as toastmaster at the
banquet, advised the committee that he
would enjoy the occasion much more if
relieved of this duty and his wishes have
been complied with. President Charles A.
Bono of the Commercial club has therefore
named Victor E. Bender to serve in the
capacity of toastmaster.
According to present plans Secretary Taft
will leave Council Bluffs the morning fol
lowing tho banquet for Chicago, enroute to
Cincinnati, where he Is to speak Thursday.

on Little Girl.
Roy M. Stevens, the linotype machinist
twice convlctetd of attempted criminal as
sault on 11-year-old Christina Chrlsten
sen, was sentenced by Judge Macy in
the district court yesterday afternoon to
fifteen years irt the state penitentiary at
Ft Madison. The sentence was Imposed

for a new trial.
- At the hearing on the motion for a new
trial Stevens was represented by Judge
F. G. Hamer of Kearney. Neb., and Attor
ney S. B. Wadsworth of this city, his
counsel at the second trial. Judge Macy
sustained the motion of County Attorney
Hess to strike from the files the affidavits
of William C. Lange and Martha C. Lange,
his wife, and of John Griffin. Those of
Mr. and Mrs. Lange were stricken on the
ground that they couldn't be considered
as newly found evidence, and that of Grif
fin was stricken on the ground that it
was cumulative testimony, his affidavit
being merely corroborative of the testimony
of Fred Hans and the defendant, Stevens.

LONDON, March 31. The House of Com
mons last night, after a lengthy debate on
the question of home rule for Ireland,
adopted by a vote of 813 to 157, a resolu
tion moved by John E. Redmond, the na--tlonalist
leader, "That in the opinion of
this house a solution of this 'problem can
only be attained by giving the Irish people
legislative and executive control of all
purely Irish affairs." after the resolu
tion had been'amendtd by adding the words
"all subject to the supreme authority of
the Imperial parliament."
It was known beforehand that the debate
could but have an academic Interest, be
cause the government had already pledged
that there would bo no deal In the matter
of home rule until It could he given a
mandate at the general election. But the
debate was made notable by the strong
declaration of Chancellor . Asqulih, which
was all the weightier beca.ure made at the
moment Mr. Asqulth Is actually assuming
the premiership.
Mr. Balfour, In a brief speech, accused
Jil opponents of speaking with two mean
ings, a radical meaning and a nationalist
meaning. He' asked how It was possible
to carry out great Irish reforms with
British money, except by a British Parlia
ment and Ironically challenged Mr. A
quith to clear up this ambiguity.
Amid ironical unionist laughter, Mr. As
qulth arose and said that never In his life
had 'he felt less embarrassed. For over
twenty years he and his colleagues hud
steadily and consistently advocnted self
government with respect to Ireland's purely
local affairs. He held that opinion now
as strongly as ever. He could not. , how
ever, support Mr. Redmond's motion In Its
present form, because he found In it no
explicit recognition of imperial supremacy
and because no Parliament avould be Justi
fied In embarking on such a task unless
the matter had first been submitted to
the electorate. It would be a gross and
Inexcusable violation of their promises to
do so In the lifetime of the present Par
liament. So far as the present Parliament
was concerned, he said, they had ex
hausted their powers In regard to the
problem of Irish government in the Irish
council's bill last year.
Timothy Healy closed the debate, de
claring that Mr. Asqulth was mlstiken if
he supposed he would commend himself to
the Irish nation by his speech.
.Earl Perry, on behalf of the unionists,
moved an amendment, declaring the house
to be unalterably opposed to the creation
of an Irish Parliament with a responsible
executive, but the amendment was re
jected. .
Chief Becretary for Ireland Plfrell came
out squarely In support of homo rule and
declared there wss not a . man In tho
House of Commons but knew, that sooner
or later there would be a very substan
tial modification In the relations between
Great Britain end Ireland. 'The Imperial
Parliament, he said, had not the time to
attend to the needs of Ireland, there were
scores of vital measures requiring Imme
diate and constant attention unless they
were going to allow "something like hell"
to prevail In Ireland. If the nationalists
should bring their proposals clearly before
the people at the fiext general election, Mr.
Birrell said, he believed the English elec
torate would rally to their help In solving
the problem.
MEF.TIXi OP KQUAL RIGHTS CLUB
Necessity of Work In the Coming
rnnipalgn Is Emphasised.
Republican doctrine was dealt out In
plenteous quantity at a meeting of the
Equal Rights club Monday evening, sev
eral speakers being called upon for short
addresses. The attendance was large and
much enthusiasm was shown, the necessity
for work In the coming campaign being the
keynote of the meeting. Myron L. 1 -earned
was the first speaker and sounded this
keynote:
"This country of ours Is a big corpora
tion and each citizen is a stockholder, and
each stockholder should take enough In
terest In his holdings In that corporation
to pay at least some attention to politics
and work for tho success of his party.
We cannot achieve success without work
and we must work from now until the till
day of next November to achieve a glori
ous republican victory. We should work
for our party, for In so doing we help not
only the Vnited States, but the whole
people, of the United States. I have no
patience with the man not willing to
shoulder his part of the work and take
his share of the responsibility, and those
here tonight speak well for the repub
lican party and for Its success."
Following Mr. Learned, Thomas W.
Blackburn in a short talk called attention
to the fact that the democrats have fallen
back upon the old Issue of tariff, which
has been fought over for a hundred years,
explaining again that the republican party
stands- for a protecUve tariff because It
guards American laborers and American
Industries and reserves America for Amer
icans. ,
Charles L, Saunders said that the
lawyers are ' looked upon for political
speeches and that they with ease pluck
tho Jail feathers from the American eatiie
