son girl by her mother, Mrs. Mabel
Thompson, Bad that against the Strang
girl by her sinter, Miss Sudie Strang.
Tha two girls were brought back late
'Wednesday night from Missouri alley by
Deputy Sheriff Matlnck and were placed
In the care of the Sisters of Mercy at St.
Bernard's hospital pending the hearing
before Judge Wheeler In the district
court.
. Jack Rich and Frank Gray, alias
."Reddy"' Gray, were placed under arrest
In Omaha, having been charged with at
tempting to criminally assault the two
girls In Missouri Valley. They were
taken back to Missouri Valley last even
ing by a deputy sheriff from Harrison
County, where It Is expected they Will
Waive a preliminary examination and al
low their cases to go directly to the ;rancl
Jury.
The two girls, who have been under po
lice surveillance for some time, decided
to go to Missouri Valley a few days ago,
.Where one of the two said she had rela
tives living. While waiting for the
train at the local Northwestern passenger
depot they were, they say, accosted by
Oray and Rich, who stated they were also
going to Missouri Valley and knew where
the relatives In question lived.
On arriving at Missouri Valley the men
are said to have conducted the girls to an
unfrequented place south of the town,
where the alleged attempted criminal as
sault waa committed. The men were fright
ened away by the screams of the girls and
by the approach of people on the highway,
it is said.
. The absence of the girls caused their rel
atives to notify the local authorities and
the latter had commenced to make an In
vestigation when word was received
Wednesday evening from Missouri Valley
that they were there and had made com
plaint against the two men.
The parents of Mary Strang are dead,
but her elder sister has been making a
home for her and for a still younger sister,
and with the assistance of a brother has
done all In her power to keep the girl from
the dangers of the streets, but without
success. Several compl lints have been
fnade to the police recently ah ut the two
girls.

RAISE IN TELEPHONE RATES
Two-Party Lines the Only Ones to Be
Increased Up to the Present.
FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH MORE
t-di nance Permits the Increase. Pro
vided flafflrient omlirr of Snu
' serlbrrs Have Been Ob
tained. The Independent Telephone company ot
Council Bluffs has already commenced to
raise Its rates. This It has the right to do
tinder the ordinance granting It a franchise
In this city, but Is not in accordance with
the promises made by the officers of the
company at the time it was seeking a
franchise from the people of Council Bluffs.
At that time It was Intimated, If not actu
ally promised, that ths company as soon
as the patronage warranted It, would re
duce the rates.
In flie schedule of rates Included In the
franchise ordinance two-party business
'phones are placed at 2 per month. Re
cently the company has announced that
the rate for the two-party business 'phones
has been increased to $2.60 per month, s
rulse of 16 a year. Present subscribers,
however, will rot be called upon to pay
more than the J2 until their existing con
tracts expire, when, It is announced, they
will have to pay at the higher rate.
The schedule of rates In the franchise
ordinance lists two-party business 'phones
at 1- a month and Individual business
'phones at 13 a month. The ordinance.
however, gives the company the right to
raise the rates in the schedule ZS cents for
each 600 customers above 2,000. As the
company has now announced an Increase
of 50 cents a month on the two-party bust
ness 'phones. It Is taken for granted the
company has now S.OO0 patrons using its
'phones.
o More at Present Rates.
No public announcement of the raise in
rates has been made, but a well-known
Broadway merchant who was figuring on
putting In a two-party 'phone in his store
was informed by F. J. Day, president ot
the company, that the rate for such service
was now 12.60. The buwlness man In ques
tion demurred to the rate, telling Mr. Day
that his nelglfbors were only paying 12.
"That may bo so." replied Mr. Day
"but as Boon as their present contracts
expire they will be required to pay $2.60,
No two-party business telephones will be
Installed henceforth except at the $2.50
rate."
Frank Klger, who conducteu a res
taurant on West Broadway but recently
sold out, had been puylng at the $2 rate
for a two-party business 'phone. A few
days ago he opened another restaurant on
South Main street and on applying to
the company for the installation of a
two-party line such as he had had in his
former place of business was Informed
that he would now be required to pay
$2 60 for the same service.
As a 'majority of the business houses
have the two-party 'phone service, the
raise of 60 cents a month will mean a
considerably Increased revenue to the In
dependent Telephone company.
When asked yesterday If It was the fact
that the rate for two-party business
'phones had been increased 60 cents a
month. Manager C. A. Laubach of the In
dependent Telephone company said it was.
"We have '3,600 subscribers." said Mr.
Laubach, "and under our franchise we are
authorised to increase our rates 25 cents
a month for every 500 subscribers over
2,000. The only Increase so far is on
the two-party business 'phones."
Building for Horticultural Display.
T!ie extreme heat was probably le-
sponslble for the small attendance at the
weekly meeting of the National Horticul
tural congress last night. The tempera
ture of the Commercial club rooms. In
which the meeting was held, was not con
ducive to comfort, so an early adjourn
ment was taken.
Secretary Reye brought up the mutter
of erecting a temporary building In a
central location for consolidating the dis
plays at the congress. He made a con-
tentative suggestion that the south sec
tion of Bayllss park would be a con
venient location for a temporary struc
ture such as he proposed. The idea ap
peared to meet with the favor of most
of thor.e present, although Charles A. Ileno
expressed the opinion that It would be
more advisable to erect some permanent
building which could be used for public
meetings, convention and other gather
ings. The matter was finally referred to
the newly appointed committee on build
ings and grounds to report back at the
next meeting.
Chairman Painter Knox of the new mem
bership committee reported that his com
mittee had made a canvass of a portion
of the city yesterday morning and had
succeeded in enrolling about 100 new
members.
Mr. Knox suggested that when the pub
lic, schools reopened In September a Junior
organization be formed among tho school
children with a membership fee of not ex
ceeding 60 cents. The tuggestlnn met with
approval, but no action was taken.
l.anadon Kalis from Grace.
W. W. Langdon, a graduate of the state
hospital for dipsomaniacs at Knoxvllle, was
sent to the county Jail for ten days last
evening by Justice Cooper on a charge of
Intoxication preferred against Langdon by
his wife.
When Constable Baker and D 1 uty B. u
field went to serve the warrant on Lung

underbrush between Indian creek and
Gelse'a brewery with a half empty bottle
of whisky by his side.
When taken before Justice Cooper Lang
don asked the court to dispose of the cast)
there and then, merely suggesting that It
make the sentence a light one. Justice
Cooper said be believed ten days la the
count? Jail would about fit the case.

Corncrlb Removed from Street.
The corncrlb which Droge Bros, -had
erected on Eleventh street between Ninth
and Tenth avenues was yesterday remived
by Street Commissioner Timothy Flood and
his force of men Ths street is now open
to travel.
Eleventh street at that point affords the
only mean ot access from Ninth avenue to
Tautn avenue and W. L Walker ot the
Walker Manufacturing company, whose
factory Is on Tenth avenue, petitioned the
council some time ago to have the street
opened and a crovslng ordered on the
tracks of the Great Western railroad.
JJroge Bros, offered no opposition to the
removal of the corncrlb, although they de
clined to do It themselves. The cost of
removing it will be taxed against the prop

Despite the Intense beat which forced
them to hold the proceedings in the open

B and Twenty-fourth, about twenty-five
residents of the western part of the city
were present at the Joint meeting of the
West Council Bluffs and West End Im

W. II. James, president of the West End
club, presided, and C. E. Sparks of the
West Council Bluffs club, acted as secre
tary. Speeches were made by Mr. James,
Mr. Sparks. General E. F. Test, W. C.
Boyer and W. M. Kilmer. All of the talks
were on the subject of the refusal of the
city council to entertain the petition of
the West Council Bluffs club that the
city solicitor be Instructed to Investigate
and report as to what franchise, if any,
the street railway company was operating
under In this city. The speakers com
mended Councilmen Bellinger and Younk

TWO YEARS FOR APPOINTEE
No Provision in Law for Nomination
of Supreme Judge.
NO VACANCY ON THE TICKET
Law Provides for Filling! Snch. bat
Not for Making; Nominations
After the Convention lias
Adjourned,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DEf MOINES, July 17. (Special.) Law
yers are nearly agreed that there Is no
means by which party nominations can be
made for the coming November election
to fill the vacancy made by the death of
Judge Charles A. Bishop. At first there
was some confusion on the matter. Now
some attention has been given it by law
yers and they feel that there is no question
but that the appointment by the governor
when made will be till the November elec
tion n 1910.
The new primary law provides the means
by which all party nominations ran be
madet There can be no nominations ex
cept In accordance with Its provisions. It
provides that Judges to the supreme court
shall be nominated by the state conven
tions. The delegates to the state conven
tions are selected by the coupty con
ventions and the delegates to the county
conventions must be elected at the primary
election.
The primary election, according to the
provisions of that law," must be held on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday
In June in the even numbered ycara. It
has been held for this year and there Is no
provision for calling a special primary elec
tion. Furthermore, the date of the state
conventions are fixed by law and they have
been held, and there Is no provision by
which they can be reconvened.
The only other means by which a nom
ination could bo mado would be by the
state central committee. But the law pro
vides only that they shall have power to
fill vacancies among the nominees. The
vacancy in question Is not of the nominees,
and hence It Is taken that the state com
mittees cannot fill it
There Is no doubt but ffiat the governoi
fills tho vacancy by appointment till such
time as It can be filled by election, and
there Is now little doubt but that his ap
pointee will serve till November, 1910.

FLEET REACHES HONOLULU
Arrival of Battleships Hade Holiday
at Island Fort. N
VOYAGE IS WITHOUT INCIDENT
Nebraska Rejoined the Fleet at 630
Wednesday Morning?- Health of
Members of tha Crtni
la Good. .
HONOLULU. July 17.-Tha Atlantlo bat
tleship fleet arrived at noon yesterday.
Hy universal consent the day was made a
complete holiday, all business was sus
pended and thousands of people from the
different Islands of the territory assembled
on Diamond Head and other heights and
points of vantage southeast of this city
to view the approach of the armada.
Early in the morning the crowds begata
scrambling up the bluffs to catch the first
sight of the ships above ths southeastern
horicon and the first realization of the long
cherished hope came at 7:30 In the morn
ing, when a message came from the leper
settlement on the Island of Molokal that
the fleet had been sighted there, steaming
In line of squadron formation at a speed
of ten knots. An overcasted sky prevented
the watchers near here from seeing far
t out to sea, but the patience of the lookouts
was rewarded by a sight of the Connecticut
off the channel at noon. The flagship was
followed by the other vessels in regular
order and twenty minutes later all but the
third division, composed of the Louisiana,
Virginia, Ohio and Missouri, were In sight.
After passing Molokal tha third division
proceeded to Lahlna on the Island of Maul
for coal.
t'ounectU'ut Kilters Harbor.
At 1J:50 the Connecticut entered the
harbor and was saluted from the naval
station and at 1:28, followed by the other
ships. It rounded the lighthouse buoy and
all came to anchor Inside the harbor, while
the pen tup enthusiasm of tho islanders
found vent In whistling sirens and the
bursting of daylight fireworks.
As soon as the Connecticut had come to
anchor It was boarded by the reception
committee, which formally invited Bear
Admiral Sperry and his officers and men
to partake of Hawaiian hospitality. Later
in the afternoon Admiral Sperry made a
visit to Governor Frear, who returned the
visit.
During the entire run to Honolulu the
fleet ezperienced pleasant weather and
smooth seas. For two hours or more daily,
except on Bunday, the fleet haJ tactical
evolutions and at the sa.ne time routine
drills were curried on. No noteworthy Inci
dents occurred on the entire voyajee, and
us a matter of fact this, the f.rst leg of a
long cruise, was rather more uneventful
than usual. Tho fleet never had to stop
or slow down, nor did any of the ships have
to fall out of formation through accidents
to steering gear.
Mebraakm Overtakes Fleet.
The health of the crews has been good
and there have been no deaths or serious
accldeats since leaving San Francisco. The

fleet sailed from the Golden Gals on ac

The third division, which went to Lahlna
for coal, will come to Honolulu on July 19.
Bear Admiral Bperry Is In excellent health.
Tonight the city, dressed In bunting, is
illuminated with thousands of electric Urhts
and the streets are filled with a holiday
making crowd. Out in the harbor the men
of war are outlined in Incandescent bulbs,
their masts huge crosses against an equa

NEW THEORYJN DREW CASE
Belief that Girl Waa Ron Down by
Aatomoblle and Body Thrown
Into Pond.
TROT, N. T.. July 17. That Hazel Drew
came to her death as a result of an auto
mobile accident instead of being the victim
of a foul and deliberate murder la one of
the theories put forth tonight as a solution
of the Teal Pond mystery. After five days
of careful Investigation, In which many
theories have been advanced, a motive for
the murder Is lacking. Nothing has been
learned that would warrant the authorities
in making an arrest In connection with the
crime. This being the caee, the accident
theory Is advanced. The nacadam road
between Troy and Averill Park Is popular
with automobillsts. A reckless chauffeur
speeding along at night may have struck
the girl with his car, cauaing her death.
Bather than face the consequences, and
knowing the country well. It would havs
been a comparatively easy matter to have
taken the girl in the cur up the lonely
road toward Tabourton, and to havs
thrown her body Into the mlllpond. To give
color to a suicide theory, the hat and gloves
were left on the bank.
Through a postal card received at the
Drew home from New Carlisle, O., on the
duy of Hazel's funeral, addressed to the
dead girl and signed "Carrie Weaver," it
was learned tcday that Hazel and Carrie
were good frienda and that they went to
New York together to spend Memorial day.
Miss Weaver Is employed In the house
hold of A. M. Green, a professor In the
Bensslaer Polytechnic Institute.
BOYCOTT AND BLACKLISTS
Justice Brewer Says Both Are
Kuoallr Damnable and Mar
Rndanaer Republic.
MILWAUKEE. July 17.--That the black
list and boycott are alike and equally
damnable waa the sentiment expressed
by Justice David J. Brewer of the United
States Supreme court In an address before
a large number of agents of the North
western Mutual Life Insurance company in
this city this afternoon.
The foundation upon which all the gov
ernment, of and by and for the people must
rest la our declaration of Independence. He
believed this government will only surely
endure, as we hold fast to these princi
ples laid down In that wonderful document.
But, he said, when sny body of men say
"You must Join this organization or you
can't be permitted to work anywhere," that
organization ia cn enemy to personal lib
erty, that such conduct Is disgraceful. The
truth is that the blacklist and boycott, tha
use of which prevents men from getting
employment, be said, are alike and equally
damnable, and when practiced endanger
tha future and (lory of the republic.
