DISAGREEMENT ON BRIDGE Work ii Stopped on Driving Pile. Until Matter it Adjusted. TWENTY-FOOT PILES TOO SHORT Qnestlon Betrree Contractor and City as to Mho Most "(and F. pense of I'attlnat In the Longer Ones. The work of driving piling for the new concrete bridge over Indian creek at Bryant street was stopped yesterday morning by Contractor Wlckham and probably will not be resumed until certain matters In con troversy are settled. It Is said that the twenty-foot piling being used was found to be Insufficient owing to the softness of the ground and that City Engineer Etnyre had ordered twenty-six-foot piles to be used from thla on. Yesterday morning Ed Btlmaon, assistant city engineer. Informed Contractor Wlck ham that the extra piling would be at his expense. Mr. Wlckham asked Mr. Stlmson where he got his authority for that state ment and Mr. Btlmson said Mr. Etnyre had ao Informed him before he left for Chicago Friday evening. 'Well, I met Etnyre. five minutes before he left Friday evening and be never told me ao," replied Mr. WliKham. "Mr. Et nyre doea not know what he Is talking about. The city will most assuredly have to pay me for the extra piling." Mr. Wlckham stated last evening that hla contract called for twenty-foot piling and additional pay for extra piling. The trouble, Mr. Wlckham said, was due to the fact that no soundings had been taken before the work was begun. He believed the trouble could be remedied by driving three twenty-alx-foot piles between each two twenty-foot piles. BODE.8KK FAILS TO MAKE GOOD Wife Telia Pitiful Tale of Their Marital Relations.

MONEY DEMANDS ARE LIGHT State Board of Control Presents Its Estimates for Coming Bienninm. LITTLE TOR NEW BUILDINGS Hecomiiiendn t Ions to New I.ealslntnre for Soldiers' Home and Other Mate Inst It nt Ions KILs In State Inerense. iFioin n Staff Correspondent. l Di:S MOINES, la., Nov. 15.-(Speclal Telegram.) The Slat" Board of Control wants from the Thirty-third general as sembly, for use In the coming biennial period, the sum of $I7R,S31. This la a very modest request as compared with the ask ing for $1.14,2rpO two years p. go. The reason for this situation Is that as a matter of fact the past seven or eight years tho state has been virtually rebuilding Its Institu tions and enlarging them In n way that should have been done long ago. Tho appropriations asked for are sum marized by the board as follows: General approprlntlons $ 71.000 Soldiers home, Marshalltown B.0O0 Soldiers orphans home, Davenport.. 8..V) College for blind, Vinton 12. nun School for deaf. Cnum-il Bluffs 8.9"n Feeble minded Institution. Olenwond t1. WW Tuberculosis sanitarium, Iowa City t)7..Ti) Industrial school boys, Eldora M..m Industrial school, girl.

The reformatory, Anamosa B't.tOO 24. tK) 25. .V) 2.IHKI 23.0111) 24.4IH) Total $47,XOO Tho only large Hems In the list Is StU.OOO for a farm for an epileptic colony, JtO.ooi for a wing for new custodial building at Glenwood. 122,600 for- cottages for patients at the tuberculosis sanatorium and $20.noo for kitchen, dining room and quarters for help at the same Institution; J10,0"U for a hospital building at Eldora; and l,0i for the purchaso of land at Fort Madison. The recommendations , for legislation are as follows: Recommendations to I.eglslatare. The federal government pays to each state maintaining a home for soldiers find sailors $100 per annum for each soldier and sailor kept there who served In the Brmy or navy ir. any of the wars. An act of congress May 28. 190S, forbids payment to any slate In which the penHlon money of the members of Its home is withheld for any purpose. Tho law found In Section 'MMb and itjOfic Code Supplement of 11)07 of this state providing for holding pension money In certain canes Is In conflict witli the federal statute and If enforced will de prive the state of 3101) per annum for each member of the class referred to. The re peal of the conflicting state law is recom mended. It is also recommended that authority be given the commandant to endorse and col lect checks, certificates of deposit and other papers left In his hands by members of the home who die intestate without known relatives, and to seal the personal property and pay' tho proceeds Into the state treasury. It in recommended that each child com mitted to the soldlerH' orphans' home be held and treated as a ward of the state to be placed In new homes when In the Judgment of the superintendent approved by the hoard or control, that It shall be for the best Interests of the child. If that plan were adopted certain abuses now ex isting would be prevented. It is also recommended tnat the pructlce which hah existed In some counties of mak ing private contracts with persona respon sible for the support of children sent to tho home by "WiIcS countiea are to be re imbursed for their Jehure of the expense, be forbidden. Tho average attendance at the school for the deaf has become so small 'that the per caplta allowance of 322 per month for each pupil for nino months In the year is not sufficient to sustain the school. That amount was fixed when the average school population had been 287 for more than ten years. It ia lecommended that the proper officers of the state be authorized to place to the credit of the school the sum of 36,050 each schdeil month when the aver age 3chool population Is less than 275. It Is a I ho recommended that the laws be so amended that no child under the ago of ten years and no dependent or neglected child not guilty of any wrong shall be committed to either industrial school. The methods of paying claims against the state provided by the law relating to the state hospital for Inebriates are un- i eccusdi Inly numerot-a and complex. Ore ter simplicity and uniformity are recommended. The aeerage of land owned by the state was Increased by 4M acres during the biennial period and the state now owns 7.133 acres. The average daily population of the fif teen state Institutions under control of the board Increased from 8,312 to 8,4:6 In the two years. The total expentlitures In the two years for these fifteen Institutions waa 33.754.76S. 09. Of this 31.042.048.58 was for salaries, 31.840, 432.63 for support, and 3872,286.88 for special purposes. During the period the losses at Institu tions amounted to $12,275 by fire, $12,030 by hall, $240 by llghtnlnff and $50 by wind. The board of control asks again to be re lieved of any connection whatever with the educational institutions of the state. Their examination shows that these institutions cost the state us follows: State university, $U39.!t)0.31 : Agricultural college. 31, 245.032 !W; Normal school. $464,321.21; total, $2,849, 334.47. The annual report of F. G. Robinson, grand secretary of the Elks of Iowa, shows r membership In Iowa of 8,629, aside from a new lodge at Shenandoah not yet fully organized. There are thirty lodges in the state, Des Moines having the largest and Sioux City next. Nearly all the lodges have new buildings erected. Annual Ioiva Dairy Meeting. The coming week tho Iowa State Dairy association will meet In Waterloo, com mencing on Wednesday. II. R.

It Is improbable that the result will be officially established tonight, as the re turns doubtless will be very slow In coming In, but sufficient returns have already been received to indicate that the liberals have won a victory which has been hard fought. General Gomez, Just before the closing of the polls, announced that he had received advices showing that, he had carried every province In the Island, which is not Improb able. Havana and Oriente provinces, with forty eight electoral votes, which lacks only eight of a majority, are Burely liberal. Governor Magoon said tonight: "I 'cannot express too niglily my appre ciation of the enthusiasm and prudent re gard for order with which the Cuban peo ple have conducted this most Important contest. I am absolutely certain that they will loyally abide by the result, establish ing to my complete satisfaction their fitness to be entrusted with the govern ment of the republic." Governor Magoon, accompanied by Cap tain Ryan, made a tour In an automobile of all the polling places In the city of Havana. He was received everywhere with acclamations and cries of "Viva Magoon," and frequently "Viva' Magoon Y Taft." Through the day, numerous reports were received at the palace stating that there had been no Infraction of the law and order. The only exception was Cardenas, where a slight affray took place In which two men were Injured. Throughout the island, according to the reports, an extraordinarily heavy vote waa cast. Somo complaints of obstruction at the polls In Havana by liberals were re ceived In the morning by Colonel E. H. Crowder, chief of the bureau of elections, who detailed five American officers to make an Inspection throughout the day of all polling places. They reported that there was no sign of obstruction or disorder anywhere. General Gomez received the returns at his residence, where this afternoon he ex pressed absolute confidence In the result. Later he was the recipient of hundreds of telegrams of congratulation, when his vic tory became apparent. General Mario Menocal. the conservative nominee, received the returns at the Hotel Sevllla. He said this evening that he con ceded Havana to be liberal, but still was confident that he had polled sufficient votes In the other provinces to secure his election. Dr. Rafael Montoro, the conserva tive candidate for vice president, was equally confident that the conservatives would win. ' The slow incoming of the returns Is at tributed partly lo the heavy vote and partly to scratched ballots on representa tives. No cons'derable returns are ex pected before midnight and complete re turns will not be received before Sunday night or Monday. General Jose Miguel Gomez, the liberal candidate for president of Cuba, who, ac cording to late dispatches Is believed to have been elected to that office, is 63 years of age and a native of Santa Clara prov ince, where he has always enjoyed extra ordinary popularity and Influence. He par ticipated In two great revolutions, In the first of which he reached the rank of major and In the second that of major reneral. He waa one of the commissioners sent to Wash'ngton to advise as to a prac tical method for dissolving the revdutlon ary army. General Gomez was selected as governor of Santa Clara province by the government of Intervention and when his term expired he was elected governor as a republican, or conservative. In May, 1905. the general was nominated for the presidency by the national liberal convention, but resigned his candidacy foui months later, giving as his reason that It was impossible to continue within the bounds of the law and laying part of the hluine on the 1'nlted States, owing to the Plait aiiieni'ment, An uprising In Cuba followed, which ended with the deposition ot President Pahna and the intervention ol the Vnited Staici. In Aiigiiht, 11106, Geieral Grmez was ar rested, charged with conspiring against th3 administration of the late President Pahna but he denied the allcgatlen and was re leased from custody after a month's Im prisonment.
