DECISION FOR RAILROAD
Commission Says the Great Western
Need Not Construct a Subway. '
ELECTRIC BELL AT CROSSING
Resident f Weetlkary Avrnae
Disappointed. Thonh They Feared
Bark, Woal Be the OsMeome
of Controversy.
The effort of the, city to compel the Chi
cago Great Western Railway company to
construct and maintain a aubway under lta
tracks on Woodbury avenua has failed. The
State Board of Railroad commissioner has
denied the application of the city for an
order requiring the construction of th sub
way In a ruling, coples'of which were re
ceived here yesterday. The commissioners,
however, order the railroad company to In
stall an electrlo bell device, which Is ex
pected to ring whenever a train is ap
proaching the crossing. '
The application was filed with the Board
Of Railroad commissioners on August 2.
1908, and the hearing was held April 16,
1907, and now, after deliberating over the
matter for ono year and five months, the
board has finally handed down It de
cision In the matter.
Derision of Commission.
The decision of the railroad commission
ers Is as follows: ' ;
On the 2d day of August, 1906, an applica
tion was rued wun the commissioners.
praying for an order requiring the Chicago
Great western iKSiiway company to con
struct and mamtain a viaduct under its
tracks where the asm cross Woodbury
avenue In the city of Council Blufrs, Potta
wattamie county. Iowa,
On the Sd oay of December, 1B06, th city
of Council Bluffs passed an ordinance de
claring "that It la deemed necessary for the
safety and protection of the public that a
viaduct be construotad on Woodbury avenue
In the city or Council Blurts, la., and under
the tracks of the Chicago Groat Western
Railway company," and "that said viaduct
be constructed by and maintained at the
expense of the Chicago Oreat Western Rail
way company, ana - tnat saia viaauct De
twenty-four feet wide, with a clearance
under the tracks of not lesa-than twelve
feet and that the approaches thereto shall
not In the total exceed eight feet."
A certified copy of said ordlnsncs has
been filed with th commission and It ap
pears to have been duly published and
?aased aa provided by. law; and to be In full
orce at this time.
Detailed plana and specifications, prepared
by the city engineer and approved by th
city, for the construction of- said viaduct,
were duly presented to the beard by the
city officers of Council Bluffs, for Its ap
proval, setting forth In detail the height,
width and strength of said viaduct and the
approaches thereto, and the material and
mariner of lta construction.
Thereupon the board fixed April 16. 1907,
for a public hearing at Council Bluffs and
examination of th premises Involved.
Now. on the 16th day of April, 1907. the
Board of Railroad Commissioners met at
Counoll Bluffs, la., after having given due
notice to the parties interested, for the pur
pose of making an examination of the
premises Involved.
There were present: N. S. Ketchum,
chairman; D. J. Palmer and W. L. Eaton,
members of the board. The mayor pf Coun
cil Bluffs and several members of the city
council thereof were there in person for the
city. Several citizens appeared in the(r own
behalf and the Chicago Great Western Rail
way company appeared by C. G. Saunders,
Its attorney. Thereupon tha board and the
member thereof made a personal examina
tion or tn premises. A puollo hearing was
had at the school house a few rods from
the premises In controversy, which was at
tended by many interested citixens. At said
public hearing the board listened to state
ments of citizens as to th necessity of
said viaduct for th public safety, protection
and convenience. , ,
The Chicago Great Western Railway com"
pany, by Its attorney, filed with th com
mission affidavits showing the number of
Eersons and vehicle that had used Wood
ury avenue In crossing the tracks of the
railway company upon certain apectfled
days. Thereupon the board requested the
city and the railroad company to furnish
further plans, specifications and estimates
of the expense, and at th . request of the
railway company th hearing was adjourned
to some day to be fixed in the future.. No
further plan, specification or estimates
have ever been submitted to th board.
The final disposition of the case ha been
postponed from time to time at tha request
of the railway company. Nothing further
has been done for many months and no
satisfactory reason exists why a final deter
mination of tha matter should not be made.
After carefully considering all the testi
mony offered and taking into account the
conditions surrounding this crossing, it has
been determined by the board that at this
time the petition of the city of Council
Bluffs for a viaduct should be denied- The
commissioners are of the opinion, however,
that on or before the 1st oay of November,
1908, this crossing should be protected by
an electric signal bell, to be automatically
rung upon the approach of engines or trains
In either direction, a reasonable time before
the engine or train reaches said crossing,
and that this electric signaling device
should be of the most approved pattern
and maintained In first-class condition at
all times, and It la hereby so ordered.
Baling Not Vnexpected.
While an adverse ruling was rot unex
pected by th residents In the vicinity of
Woodbury avenue, the decision of the rail
road commissioners Is nevertheless a disap
pointment. Former Councilman Robert B,
Wallace, who took a leading part in the ef
fort to compel the Great Western to build
a subway under it track at the Wood
bury avenua crossing, when Informed 'of
tha ruling of the railroad commissioners,
said: "We always suspected that the de
lay in deciding the case was due to the In
fluence of the railroad company, but when
ever this belief was expressed we were met
with a denial that tha railroad company
was In any way responsible fur tha delay,
and were Invariably told that the com
mission was working on the case. It Is re
freshing to read In th decision that tha
order of the board had been postponed at
the request of the railroad company."
Mr. Wallace expressed the opinion that
an electric bell device would probably
prove wholly unsatisfactory.

Just right; the paint will dry good and

Wild Goose Chase for Police.
Th report that a man with handcuffs on
had attempted to board a freight train in
the north end of the yards of th North,
western railroad yesterday morning gave
the pollc a wild goose chase for several
hours In that section of th city. Th re
port that cam to police headquarter was
that A. G. Seller, a freight conductor on
th Northwestern, had sent word back to
ins-sin m Tts dark Mrt
rfcs dark Msrtrmgs Ce,
J0- f. XbiLLx, Mgr.
wi
to be handcuffed. hd attempted to board
the yard office that a man, who appeared
his train as It was leaving the north end
of the yards eaatbound.
Later, word waa received that a man
holding his hands In front of him, as lr-
they were manacled, had been Been to enter
a cornfield near the Illinois Central rail
road bridge. Another report waa that the
same suspicious looking Individual had been
seen In an onion patch. Detectlv Weir and
three other officers spent several hours
searching In that vicinity without gettlne
on the trail of the supposed manacled
fugitive.
The presence of the officer In that sec
tion of the city started the report that
Frank Shercllffe, who escaped about ten
day ago In Colorado while being taken to.
the penitentiary at Canon City, had been
enrolled In a cornfield. The police last night
were of the opinion that they had been
given a wild goose chase.
PICJJIC PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Work of Experiment Station of Great
Benefit.
The picnic held yesterday at the county
poor farm at Mct'ieuana. in connection
with th experimental station established
at the farm last spring, waa an unqualified
success. It Is estimated that at least 600
people, men, women and children, were In
attendance during the day. The expert
ment In corn growing, the results of which
were ably demonstrated and explained by
R. K. Bliss and A. E. Nelson, experts from
th State Agricultural college at Ames. It
I believed will prove of much benefit to
the farmer of PoUwattamle county.
The exhibit of live tock, grain and farm
products' of varlou kind were really first
class and mors extensive that Superintend
ent Barrltt had anticipated. The exhibits
were In charge of Joalah Bell. In addition
to the exhibits there were demonstrations
of milk testers, milking machines and other
dairy appliances.
Most of the farmers and their families
brought picnic lunches with them, while
those who were not so provided were able
to purchase refreshments ai a lunchstand
In the afternoon addresses were mad by
State Senator C. O. Saunders, F. H. Klop
plng and- Representative , randes, through
whose efforts mainly the experimental sta
tion was established at the poor farm.
There was a (food attendance from Coun.
cil Bluffs,, many, making the trip in auto
mobiles, which mode of conyeyanc proved
by far the most convenient; In view, of the
fact that the freight train tto which th
Council Bluff ' car was attached for the
home Journey if as nearly-four hours late,
leaving McClelland so that, those who
Jourheyed by train did not readh the city
until -late hour.'
Among 'those from this city In attend
ance were: State Senator and Mrs. C. Q.

MOTHER AND CHILDREN FOUND
All in a Pitiable Plight from the Lack
of Food. .
Mrs. Catherine McGee, who disappeared

she learned she was to be taken before tha
commissioners for examination as to her
sanity, was found on Broadway yesterday

The five children, whose age rang from
4 to IS year, were taken by Truant Offi
cer Herner to the Associated Charities'
creche, where they will be cared for until
ome other disposition of them Is made
by th court. Mr. McOee Waa placed in
St. Bernard' hospital, th commissioners
having adjudged her lnssne. Although the
woman's actions for some time past satis
fied the commissioners that she wss not
mentally responsible, she appeared per
fectly rational yesterday. She said that she
and the children had returned to their
home Wednesday night and had spent the
night there. The parting between th
mother and her little one wa pitiable In
the extreme. Th children obbed as If
their hearts would break and two older
ones declared between their sobs that their
mother waa not insane and that h ought
not to be tsken from them.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINE8, Oct. . (Special.) Because
the new voting machines to be used In Des
Moines this year for the first time allow
the citizen to vote the straight ticket with
out voting for each candidate separately, It
la claimed that it Is Illegal ana John N
Smith, an attorney In the Crocker build
ing In thla city. Is preparing a petition for
an Injunction to restrain the use of the
machines. The machines cost the city and
county $38,000.
At the session of the legislature In 1906
a bill was passed taking the circle' off the
ballot at thehead of each ticket and the
law was amended so that the citizen must
make a cross In the square In front of the
name of every candidate for whom he de
sires to vote.
The new voting machine Is so arranged
that In order to vote at all the citizen must
pull a lever for a straight party ticket of
any party he wishes. He can then proceed
to "scratch" aa much as he wishes by put
ting back Into their places the levers above
the names of the candidates of that party
for whom he docs not wish to vote and by
pulling down those above the candidates
for whom he does wish to vote.
Mr. Smith, who brought the action, is
tha law partner of C. O. Holly, the demo
cratic candidate for congress against Cap
tain J. A. T. Hull. Voting machines are
not In use elsewhere in the state and this
Is the first year for their use in Des Moires.
It Is understood -ills-petition for an in
junction will be filed In a day or two.

that In the , dark they handed him his

Hearst' Tarty Late.
No petitions ss Independent candidates
