CANDIDATES GETTING BUSY Only Two Weeks Remaining in Which to File for the Primaries. SHERIFF S OFFICE MUCH SOUGHT All of Present Deputies la the Field and Some Additional Rntrle. Ai res d r BookedOther Place Not Overlooked. ' With enly two weeks more In which to file nomination papers for the primary elec tions to be held June 2, political affairs In Pottawattamie county are commencing to warm up. Candidates are busy securing the requisite number cf signatures to their nomination papers which, for the county offices, have to be filed with County Audi tor Chcyne not later than Saturday, May 1 There will be no lack of candidates for both the republican and democratic nom inations for all of the county offices and, in feet, indications are that In ths republi can ranks there ere so many candidates for some of the offices that the chances for the nomination going to the convention appear to be good. This Is especially true ot the republican nomination for sheriff, for which there Is at least seven candidates. It was stated yesterday by a prominent memher of the recently organized . Taft Cummlna Progressive Republican league of Pottawattamie county, of which former Councilman Robert B. Wallace of this city Is president, that the organization expected to place a full county ticket in the field within the next few days. The prohibition ists are also planning to name a full county ticket at the primary election. Dr. C. V. Dleti of Carson, chairman of the executive committee of the county prohibition organi zation, has been sent a complete set of nomination and filing papers by County Auditor Cheyne, at the former's request.' The democrats at the conference last Tuesday in Avoca "suggested" a late for the county offices and named candidates for all the nominations except- for county superintendent of schools. Another con ference Is to be held next Tuesday In Neola, when the slate will be revised and filled out, it la said. At the primary on June 2 nominations will have to bo made for all township of fices throughout the county in addition to the regular county ticket. That is to say nominations will have to be made in each township for three trustees, two Justices of the peace and two constables. For the county offices the following nominations are to be made: Treasurer, auditor, re corder, attorney, sheriff, clerk of district court, county superintendent of schools, coroner, surveyor and three members of the board of supervisors. Republican Aspirants. For the republican nomination for treas urer, the present incumbent of the office, James W. Mitchell, has no opposition unless the progressive" wing of the party sees fit to place a candidate in the field. J. M. Pusey, at present deputy under Auditor Cheyne, and R. V. Innes, former county auditor, are candidates for the nomination for auditor. For the republican nomina tion for recorder the present candidates are J. N. Tolllnger, deputy clerk of the district court at Avoca, and Henry Baber of Mace donia. County Attorney Hess Is a candi date for renominatlon and will have as his opponent John Fletcher of Avoca, who Is accredited with being the candidate of the Cummins faction. For the republican nomination for sheriff all of Sheriff Can ning's deputies are candidates and this In cludes A. J. Grace of Avoca and J. B. Matlack, the district court bailiff in Coun cil Bluffs. C. Brlndley of Walnut is also a candidate for this nomination as are Q. W. Turner and Dee Albertl of this city. With so many candidates after the place It is probable the nomination will go to the convention. Assistant County Attorney Dillon Ross is at present the only candidate tn the field for the republican nomination for clerk of the district court, and up to date no on? has come forward to oppose E. R. Jack son's candidacy for renominatlon for county superintendent of schools. Dr. J. H. Gaason of this city Is said to be a candi date for the nomination for coroner In opposition to Dr. V. L. Treynor, who, It is understood, would accept a renominatlon if tendered him. J. Harley Mayne is a candidate for renominatlon for county sur veyor and up to the present has no opposi tion. The terms of T. J. Johns, G. W. Bpencer and Allen Bullls as members of the Board cf Supervisors terminate at the end of this year. ' Johns and 8pencer are candidates for renomlnaiion, but Bullls has not yet mrde any announcement. Other candidates are likely to appear in the field before the date for filing nomination papers. Township Candidates! R. T. Bryant, F. 72. Deuel and J. It. Price have filed with the county auditor affi davits that they are candidates for the republican nomination for Justice of the peace in Kane township, which includes the city of Council Bluffs. Deuel was an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination two years ago and Bryant held tho office for two years. It is understood that J. K. Cooper and 8. A. Greene, the present, "n cumbents, will both be candidates for- re nominatlon. Captain Maltby, constable In Justice Greene's court, Is a candidate for renominatlon. ar.d It is said that J. C. Baker, constable In Justice Cooper's court, will also seek reuominutlon at tha hands of the republicans. John llaile has an nounced his candidacy for renominatlon as one of the trustees of Kane township by the republicans. Among the democrats, C. A. Plunkett has tiled his nomination papers for coroner, und II. L. Robertson has done likewise for the nomination for county attorney. Major G. II. Richmond, chief of police of this city, whose name was "suggested" at the democratic conference at Avoca for the party nomination for sheriff, stated yester day that, while he appreciated the honor, lie would not be a candidate. , For members of the Board of Supervisors ! the democrats are "suggesting" Uriah Mo- Lean of Minden, Domlnlck Gross of Fleas ant township, John Maassen of Valley township, George Thomas of Boomer town, ship and Frank Slump of Wright township, with Council Bluffs yet to be heard from. There was considerable talk in local dem ocratic circles yesterday of Harvey O. Ouren being candidate for the party nomi nation for clerk of the district oourt. Mr. Ouren is a member of the bar and has filled the office of justice of the peace. Andrew Kastncr of Walnut , was "sug gested" for this nomination at the Avoca conference.

County Attorney Hess yesterday formally notified H. V. Battey and his attorneys that he Is ready to try at any time the case brought at the direction of Judge Wheeler for the removal of Mr. Battey from the office of clerk of the district court. The county attorney further Informed Mr. Battey's attorneys that If they desire to try the case before a nonresident judge, he will censent, and if the present jury Is not satisfactory, he will consent to a special venire. The usual course of procedure would not bring the action on for a hearing at this term of court. It being an action at law triable at this term only by agreement. With the consent ot the county attorney to try the case at this term. It now soems probable that speedy action will be taken and the matter disposed of at the earliest possible date. The attorneys for Mr. Battey said yes terday that so far as they know they will be ready to take up the case at this term of court. It develops that Attorney 8. B. Wads worth will Insist on a hearing tn the certio rari proceedings Instituted by him as a "citizen and taxpayer of Pottawattamie county" to compel the Board of Supervisors to annul Its action in allowing Otto Voll stedt, a clerk In the office of County Treas urer Mitchell, 10 per cent commission on the amount of delinquent personal taxes collected by him during the year 1907, not withstanding that the amount paid Mr. Vollstedt has been recovered Into the county treasury. "I have brought no suit against Mr. Voll stedt nor Coujity Treasurer Mitchell, either, for that matter, for the return of those fees," said Mr. Wadsworth yesterday. "My suit Is against the county supervisors, and while it has already accomplished one pur pose In securing the roturn of nearly $1,000 of the taxpayers' money, there is another and more Important purpose to be accom plished In determining why that money was ever paid as tt was. I have brought the suit In the courts and propose to find out In Just what manner these delinquent taxes were collected." The case was originally set for Saturday and the hearing will probably be had at that time it Mr. Wadsworth still Insists. There Is little doing so far at this term of court and but one Jury case has been tried. Last year at this term the court and Jury were grinding away day after day, the Jury being kept on duty for eleven weeks. Bo far all the cases assigned have been settled out of court or continued for. some cause or another. Mrs. Mlna Halle was granted a divorce yesterday from John Halle, one of tho trustees of Kane township, on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Mrs. Halle was awarded the custody of their three children. The following petit Jury for the May term at Avoca was drawn. yesterday: J. M. McDowell, Alex Hair, F. M. Pat rick, George D.

LETTER FROM ANDREW CARNEGIE Steel Kin- Fotnta Ont Advantage tit Proposed Ctsst"3tew Terlc Mtr chants Make Arguments Ajralast Measure. WASHINGTON, April 17. Hearings en national clvlo federation bill to amend the Sherman anti-trust law were continued to day before Chairman Littlefleld'e subcom mittee of the house Judiciary , committee. Seth Low, president of the federation, sub mitted amendments to his bill so altering Us provisions that the Interstate Commerce commission, Instead of the president and the commissioner of corporations shall be the arbitrator of all matters ot reference, designation and decision which would arise under the operation of the bill Mr. Low said these amendments had been agreed upon as likely to meet and satisfy the most serious of the objections thus far urged against the federation's measure. Mr. Low laid before the committee a let ter from Andrew Carnegie, in support of the proposed changes. Mr. Carnegie's let ter waa written with the purpose of sup porting the idea that authority should Aot be divided between the Interstate Com merce commission and other bodies and other officials, but before taking up that point he discussed other situations. He considered that It was necessary for the government to exercise control over com mon carriers engaged in Interstate com merce and declared that this power aliould be lodged in the Interstate Commerce com mission. No Division ot Authority. Mr. Carnegie suggests that industrial concerns engaged in Interstate traffic should be similarly controlled and pro ceeds: I cannot too strongly advise against there being more than one authority to paBS upon such questions and that should be the In terstate Commerce commission. If common carriers be placed under the bureau of corporations or another commission, there must arise Invidious comparisons between the two Such comparisons will be publicly made. The party denied by the one will be dis posed to feel that tlile other takes more liberal views and vice versa and vent his disappointment. Imagine two supreme courts! The standing of both courts would he lowered. No reason why the Interstate Commerce commission should not deal with the whole, subject and every reason whv It should. Its members will get a wider view of the whole question In Its different phases. It Is really one question, not two. We have seen, for Instance, that the steel rail question is much upon a par with the common carrier, both being ex ceptional. One point seems to he essential, without it little general progress can be made, vlx.: When new commissions are proposed tho first question must always be, "What Is the object sought?" In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it will undoubtedly be to rob the community of Us riRht to the benefits of free competi tion, disguise It as we msy. therefore tho commission's duty Is to obtain satisfactory proof that the application Is to cover an exceptional esse. The conditions must be peculiar as those of common carriers and steel rail agreements are. If not the application should be denied. If granted then measures must be taken to safeguard, to ensure to consumers the results that competition would bring. Noth ing should prevent this. That the combina tion be reasonable Is not sufficient. We are doing pioneer work Just now, work that this vast union must do sooner or Inter, but the history of the supreme court should lead us to press forward now. The Interstate Commerce commission has alrefldy made a much better start than the supreme court did. Objections From Merchants. Mr. Henry Towne, representing the Mer chants' association of New York, opposed the federation bill. "We business nun." he said, "want a law which will define our rights, which will tell us what we may and what we may not do. The federation bill does not do this." Quoting from notes adopted by the Mer chants' association, Mr. Towne said: "The plan indicated In the federation bill is suggestive of a national 'bargain counter,' where those desiring to conduct their busi ness on certain lines must apply and negoti ate for permission, where the decision would be Invested In a minor employe and where opportunities and Inducements for corrupt practices would be rampant. The change would Imply the' substitution of a bureaucracy for the Judiciary as the source of authority and control and decision In regard to all of the vast interests at stake. In effect the federation bill divides those whom It affects Into three classes, vlx.: (1) Those who register und whose methods are approved. (2) Those who decline to register and who therefore would not come under the provisions of the act. (3) Those who apply for registry by filing the re quired Information concerning their affairs, but to whom registry Is refused." In conclusion Mr. Towne said that the best course for congress to pursue would be to appoint a competent commission, which, during the recess, shall collect evi dence, study the problems and report Us conclusions as a basis for constructive legislation during the session of congress which will begin next December.

In Paris .ay that a large amount of gold probably could be obtained now from America if the Bank of Prance was willing to give advances during transit, but the directors of the institution have thus far declined to do this, taking the po sition that the bank advanced gold during the recent stringency as a friendly act and It ha. no desire now to take back with one hand what It gave with the other. The International banks say it Is as yet too early to approximate the amount of gold which will bo taken during the pres ent movement. Should this movement con tinue, some of tho gold obtained is likely to go to Germany, as the Imperial German bank is anxious to attract gold, and is of fering to carry transit advances for a fort night or even longer, but the direct ex change is unfavorable. Germany Is there fore likely to enar-r the market for what ever' gold comes from America. ELEVEN DEATHS FROM FIRE Xlne Bodies Itecovered From Debrl. at Chelsea and Two Person. Die of Injuries.
