Engineer Bryan Seeking1 Information
for Hii Report on Etnyre Flam.
DOCUMENT EXPECTED MONDAY
Iatlnsatlea that If Me Reports the
WlcVhani Dial Reasonable the ton.
tract for Construct toa "Will
Be Awarded Him.
William Hj Bryan, the expert hydraulic
engineer employed by the city council com
mittee on water works to check over the
plans and specifications for a municipal
water plant prepared by City Engineer Et
nyre. and on which Contractor Wickham
based his bid of 1631.0U0. arrived In Council
'Bluffs yesterday for the purpose, It was
stated, of securing additional data on
which to base his report.
As on his previous visit to the city, every
effort was made by Councilman Jensen,
chairman of the committee on water works.
and City Engineer Etnyre to keep the fact
of Mr. Bryan's presence from becoming
public and to prevent him from being "In
terviewed" by newspaper reporters.
It Is said that Mr. Bryan will return
home this evening and that he will prob
ably have his report completed by Monday
or Tuesday of next week. Mr. Bryan's
second trip here was caused by his desire
to secure some data on the local cost of
labor and material. It Is possible, it is
said, that Mr. Bryan In addition to his
report on the Etnyre plans, may submit an
estimate of the cost of such a water plant.
based upon hla own calculations.
Councilman Jensen said . yesterday that
the report of Mr. Bryan would probably
determine the fate of the Wickham con
tract, which Is now awaitnsr the decision
of the committee. "If Mr. Bryan's report
Indicates that the Wickham bid Is reason
able, it is likely that the committee will,
acting on the authority given It by the
council, award the contract to Mr. Wick
ham," Mr. Jensen said.
That little eye annoyance. That may
mean lots of trouble If you do not have It
looked after. The most satisfactory optical
work is done at Leffert's. Eyes examined
free, glasses fitted as they should be fitted

FIREMEN TO EXHIBIT AT FAIRS
Commission Grants Permit at Recom
mendation of Commercial (lab.
The "racing team" of the Council Bluffs
fire department will be permitted to give
an exhibition at the Shelby County fair In
Harlan and at the Pottawattamie County
fair In Avoca. The Board of Fire and Po
lice Commissioners, when requested to
grant permission to the team to give these
exhibitions, decided to refer the matter to
the Commercial club.
Yesterday Chairman Zurmuehlen of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
received the following communication from
E. H. Doollttle, chairman, ot the executive
committee of the Commercial club:
The Council Bluffs Commercial club hss
been requested by certain prominent citi
zens of Harlan and Avoca to ask your
mmorable body to allow the racing team
of the Council Bluffs fire department to
make exhibition runs at the fairs at Har
lan and Avoca.
It has been stated to us that an arrange
ment can be made whereby the apparatus
In Council Bluffs will be fully equipped
with horses while the team is abaenl and
that the men who handle the team and ap
paratus on the exhibition run, will only
be absent from the city a few hours eacn
day and that their places Will be filled
with substitutes. I'nder these circumstances
it Is our belief that the team can be al
lowed fo go out of town without danger to
property in this city.
These communities have always been very
friendly to Council Bluffs and have granted
us favors In the past, therefore, In view
of the above stated conslderatior-s, we re
spectfully request that you give permission
to have this team used for exhibition pur
poses at these fairs.
In view of the fact that the request of
the business men of Harlan and Avoca
now has the endorsement of the Commer
cial club. Chairman Zurmuehlen stated yes
terday that he saw no obstacle to granting
Fire Chief Nicholson) permission to take
the team to the two county fairs to give
exhibition runs.

The ordinance "licensing the buslnesa
arxl occupation of distributing advertising
matter within tha limits of the city of
Council Bluffs." will have to be amended
as the result of a decision of Judge Wheeler

Wheejer held that the ordinance In ques
tion was void for the reason that It pro
vided both fine and imprisonment as pen
alty, whereas under the state law It could
only provide one or the other.

dinance was raised In' the case of John F.
Hogle, a solicitor for a correspondence
phrml- who waa mrrfnt A .Tanuarv 1A nf i

advertising matter without a license. On
February 2 Hogle was fined 16 and costs

requiring of a license for distributing ad
vertising matter was not unreasonable nor
Illegal.

the state fair several tragedies occurred
today. Arthur Miller, a University Place

when the raetbound Rock Island passenger
came out from behind a line ot box car
that obstructed Rlchter' view. He was
hit by tha pilot of the engine and thrown
to one side. He was picked up and rushed
on a switch engine downtown, where medi
cal aid waa quickly summoned.
"Chatter day" It wa christened at the
fair today. Everything chattered. Teeth
Chattered from the city to the ground and
chattered (till more when the ground were
reached. A chill wlrd and a cold, cheer
'ess rain dampened the ardor of the fair
somewhat and lessened the attendance, at
though the sun cama out at noon and the
crowds began pouring out. In plt of the
rain this morning 7,4'iO had passed the
gate at 9 o'clock. Today was agricultural
day and Secretary James Wilson made a
speech at 2 o'clock In the big Grand Army
tent at the grounds. Music, races, vaude
ville, etc., went on the same regardless
of the rain. Reed's Fourth regiment band
opened up in the stock pavilion at 9 o'clock.
The Fifty-sixth regiment band played in
tha music atand on the plara In front of the
administration building and an orchestra
made music In Agricultural hall. A half

proceedings commenced by Jacob Stein to
recover the body of hla murdered son,
Morris, from the wife. The hearing wa to
have been held" today. The body, In the
meantime, under order of court, will lie
In the vault at Woodland cemetery. The
hearing will not be held probably until
after the Ohio courts have decided on the
charge of murder preferred against the
wife.
Node Art Censored
Nude art has precipitated a war In the
art building at the state fair. It all started
because T. C. Legoe of Whatcheer, uper
Intendent of the . building, . hung entry
card over the nude feminine pictures on
the china paintings of Miss Elisabeth Sheets
of Dea Moines. Tha women claim th
picture are art. ' The superintendent re
fuses to relent and aays that In the ab
sence of the customary fig leaf ha will
keep the entry .cards hanging over the
figures. The indignant woman artist cone
tends that . the superintendent's action Is
ridiculous Inasmuch as Igorrotes, clothed
only in a -"geestrlng," are gased at In
open mouthed admiration by the crowd at
the fair with no thought of immorality,
Mayor Jim Pays Alimony.
Mra. Jamea Brenton, wife of the ex-mayor,
was only allowed $20 a month alimony and
$40 attorneys fees by the court thi morn
ing In her suit for divorce. The ex-mayor,
who once wa one of the most pompous
figures In the city, showed the judge that
all the property he possessed was a sand
bar and several teams of horse covered
by large mortgages. He said he had a con
tract wph the city to take care of the
Waveland Park golf links at $250 per
month, but that his expenses and payroll
amounted to $10 per day and therefore his
profit was little or nothing on It. In court
Mrs. Brenton tried to give the Judge a de
tailed description of her husband's "af
finity," but the Judge refused to listen.

HORSEMEN BOYCOTT HUGHES
Owners Rcfaae to Start In Races 'at
Ballston Fair While Governor
is Preaent.
.
BALLSTON, N. T., Aug. 27.-For an hour
and a half yeaterday afternoon the openly
expressed hostility of the owner of
trotting horses taking part In the events
at the Saratoga county fair toward Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes held up the
racing program at the fair grounds here.
Governor Hughes was a visitor at the fair
today and addressed a big. gathering,
which gave him a hearty greeting and an
attentive hearing. The governor' pres
ence on the ground, however, wa re
sented by the horse owners, who have
taken exceptions to the governor's effort
to suppress betting on the race track of
the state. As a consequence they refused
to start their horse while the governor
was on the ground.
The "strike" of the horsemen created an
unprecedented scene and caused the man
agement of. the fair marked embarrass
ment. When the condition became known
a sensation wa created among the thou
sands of spectator on the ground and
considerable pressure waa put on the trot
ting men to change their attitude and run
off the race a scheduled. In thi the
fair officials took the lead, urging their
cases strongly upon the recalcitrant own
ers and pointing out the awkwardness ot
the situation caused by the balk In the
program. Their efforts were fruitless,
however, the owner remaining obdurate
and for an hour and a half refusing to
budge from their position. They openly de
clared that Governor Hughe had antag
onized their Interest and that they pro
posed to retaliate by refusing to take
their horse out on the track while he was
present
Those in charge of the fair threatened
to have the owners disqualified for their
refusal to come to time when the race
were called, but even this had no effect
In . altering their attitude and the race
were held up during the entire period of
tha executive' visit to the fair.
Governor Hughes was scheduled to leave
here on the 4 o'clock train and. shortly
before that time he left the fair ground
enclosure.
Immediately on his departure the racing
proceeded. The lateness of the start
caused the continuance of the trotting un
til dark this evening.
