COMMISSION TO TAKE!
h tsn
State Interested In Street Itall ar
Company's Extension.
Confirming the dispatch from Des Moines,
letters were received yesterday by Inter
ested parties In this city from Dwlght N.
Lewis, secretary, that the Iowa State
Board of Railroad Commissioners would
come to Council Bluffs next Monday for
the purpose of Investigating the matter of
the railroad crossings on the street rail
way's propoeed line to the Iowa School for
the Deaf.
Secretary Lewis wrote as follows:
Dear Sir: With reference to the matter
of the proposed crossing hy the Omaha A
Council Bluffs Street Railway company of
the lines of the Chicago, Burlington &
Qulncy and Wabash, on Its extension to the
Institute for the Deaf. I am directed to
advise you that the board will go to Coun
cil Bluffa on September 28, for the purpose
of a conference between all Interested
parties, to be held at the Grand hotel, Mon
day, September 28. at 3p .m. Verv truly
ours, DWIGHT N. LEWIS.
Secretary.
A few days ago the Board of Railroad
Commissioners notified the representatives
ofthe street railway company, the Bur
lington Railroad company and the Wabash
Railroad company that it would hold a
hearing In Council Bluffs at some near date,
to determine the question of crossings for.
the proposed street railway extension.
The street railway company had not
sought the assistance of the state railroad
commisaloners. The meeting here has been
called at the suggestion of N. S. Ketchum,
a member of the board. While on a recent
vlelt to thla city Commissioner Ketchum
Icarrted of the obstacles confronting the
street railway company In extending Its
line to the School for the Deaf. Knowing
the Interest the Board of Control of State
Institutions had In this matter Mr.
Ketchum made, while here, a personal In
vestigation of the reported trouble between
the street railway company and the two
railroads, whose tracks It was necessary
to crosa In order to build the extension to
the Iowa School for the Deaf. As a result
of his Investigations Mr. Ketchum decided
that It was a matter properly coming under
the Jurisdiction of the railroad commission
ers, and on conferring with the other mem
bers of the board, the conference here was

refuse to make any effort to get the

is only a candidate and 'partisan politics
might be charged, but the school teachers
are arranging to take the children of their
depnmentr to the I'nlon depot to sec the

The Taft club being organized in thN city
will be one of the largest In the history of
the city. Arrengements have been made
for the club to meet at the Commercial cluh
hall tomorrow night to arrange the details
of the plans for the reception to Judge Taft.
It Is expected that the club will number
2,000. and It Is the Intention to have most
of these turn out and greet Taft at the
depot upon his arrival here.
Repnbllcan Speakers.
The republican committee will probably
send Senator Beverldge to Waterloo. The
national committee has assigned him for
one date In Iowa, and Waterloo Is anxious
to secure him. Governor Hughes has alsn
been assigned for ono date In Iowa, and
the committee may send him to Boone,
though Cedar Rapids, Creston and Fort
Dodge are nil anxious to secure htm. Each
of the larger cities of the state Is assured
one of the best speakers at the command
of the national committee. Auditor Carroll,
nominee for governor, will deliver his first
address at Osceola October 3. and from
that time on will devote his entire time to
the campaign.
Democratic Plana,
The democratic state Judicial convention
to nominate a candidate for the Bishop
vacancy will be held tomorrow evening
when Committeemen Atwood of Kansas
of the national committee will deliver an
address. Every effort Is being made by
the democrats to make this a big state
gathering and sound the alarm for the state
campaign at that time.
Speculation Is rife as to what the legis
lature will do next January, as to Judge
Frank R. Gaynor of the Fourth Judicial
district. Judge Gaynor made aome notor
iety for himself soon after the adjournment
of the regular session of the Thirty-second
general assembly by refusing to recognise
the Indeterminate sentence law. He sen
tenced a criminal to a definite term on the
grounds that the law was unconstitutional.
has Instated that the street railway com
pany Install and maintain a standard In
terlocking switch, which would require the
erection of a tower and the employment of
a man for the operation of the switch. The
street railway company objects to this on
the grounds that the maintenance of such a
device for a crossing -where the cars would
be running frequently was out of the
question, owing to the expense Involved.
The Wabash, It is said, has indicated a
more liberal position and Is willing to per
mit the crossing of Its tracks with the In
terlocking switch device.

by constable Maltby of Justice Greene's

money was gone Beemer tumbled to the
fact that he had been played for a sucker.
The three men left the train ln Council
Bluffs and Beemer started after them.
The men separated and Beemer went to
police headquarters and secured the as
sistance of Sergeant O'Nell.
Returning to the Grand hotel Beemer
spotted one of the three alleged con men.
The fellow also spotted Beemer and tried
to make a getaway on a passing street
car. Beemer and a newspaper man also
succeeded In catching the car and In In
ducing the conductor to stop It until Offi
cer O'Neill caught up with the procession.
The alleged con man was taken to po
lice headquarters where, while he ad
mitted being in a card game, he denied
being a rarty to buncoing the young man
from Detroit. Chief Richmond declined
to hold the man unless Beemer filed an
information, which the latter did before
Justice Greene. A charge of larceny was
made against the man, who gave the
name of T. Haskins, but refused to give
any further Information concerning him
self. Although he had about $80 on his
person, there was absolutely nothing on
htm which would give a clue as to his
identity. He was locked up to await a
hearing this morning.
