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.
That she waa the nloce of the man to
whom she iad been married before she was
15 years of age and who was the father
of her four children, was the statement of
Mrs. August Bodenake In Justice Cooper's
court yesterday afternoon at the hearing of
Alois Bodenske, arrested Friday night on a
statutory charge preferred against him by
Bodenske. Bodenske, the woman testified,
was the brother of her father, but It was
not clear from her testimony whether the
witness waa aware of the relationship be
fore or after the marriage. Mrs. Bodenske
testified further that ahe had been granted
a divorce on April 10 of this year In
Omaha by Judge Estelle, but the decree
had not yet been lasucd as she had not
been able to pay the costs.
Mrs. Bodenske recited a long story of
the 111 treatment ahe had received at the
hands of her supposed husband, who she
said, had served six months In Jul! In Chi
cago for beating her. Her testimony In
thla respect waa not combatfed vby Boden
ake' ' " " "''
Ludwlg denied any Improper relations
with Mrs. Bodenske and claimed that he
had merely acted the part of a good Sa
maritan in providing- a home for the
woman and her children after the man ahe
had called husband had deserted her and
ahe had been deserted by Iter parenta.
Ludwlg waa discharged by Justice Cooper
who read Bodenske a lecture and warned
him to keep away from the woman. "Your
marriage to this woman was never legal In
the eyca of the law," the court admonished
him. Mrs. Bodenske formerly lived at 1919
South Fifteenth street. Omaha.

Di:S MOINES, la., Nov. 15.-(Speclal

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:

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.

CUBAN LIBERAL PARTY WINS
Indications Are tht tienernl GonicZ
and Ills Ticket Will Hte
Bis Majority.
HAVANA, Nov. 15. At the close of an
election conducted with great enthusiasm
and complete absence of disorder It ap
peared practically certain last night that
General Jose Miguel Oomez and Alfred
Zayas have been chosen president and vice
president, respectively, of the Cuban repub-He-,
with strong, liberal majorities In senate
anil house.
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. In December of the same year
Governor MaKuon ar pointed him secretary
of a commission to revise the laws t Cuba
