There Is a possibility that the arrange
ment entered Into between Pottawattamie
county and the Portland Gold Mining
company, whereby the latter is to pay
120,000 and certain costs la full settle
ment of tha 1,000 suits Instituted by tha
county to collect taxes aggregating over j
1 800,000 from" tha company and Ita Indi
vidual stockholders,' may be sought to ba
set aside.
Tha movement to have the settlement
set aside, if made at all, will come. It Is
said, from the state authorities. A per
son who Is known to be In tha confidence
of Attorney General Byere la authority
for tha statement that the attorney gen
eral la opposed to allowing the settle
ment to stand and that be Is considering
the advisability of taking steps lu. court
M have it annulled. i
It is cald that Attorney General Byers
holds that a settlement of a suit In
volving the large amount of money that
the Portland company tax case does, for
such an Insignificant sum aa 120,000 Is
against public policy. The attorney gen
eral, it Is said, holds further that if the
Portland company or its Individual stock
holders were subject to' the payment of
taxes on the stock, they were liable for
the full amount sued for or nothing -at
all. Once the suits were begun thoy
should have been determined by the
courts Is said to be the opinion of the
attorney general.
The amount that the state will receive
from the settlement with the Portland
company will be very email, whereas if
tlit 1.000 suits were prosecuted to a suc
cessful termination It would receive quite
a considerable sum as Its proportion of
the taxes thus collected. The state. It
Is contended, was never consulted by the
authoritlea of Pottawattamie county rel
stive to the proposed settlement, and if
It had been,' the attorney general, It Is
aid, gives it an hts opinion that It
would not have consented to any such
compromise.
That the Portland company and its in
dividual stockholders, If liable at all, are
liable for the full amount of taxes as'
seised against them and this question
should have been determined by the
courts la the view of the matter ex
pressed, it Is said, by the attorney gen
eral.
. M. K. Schleicher of Minneapolis, a mem
ber of the firm of Fleener & Schleicher,
who had a contract with Pottawattamie
to "ferret'' out taxes which had been
omitted to be assessod has written to

otherwise he would have made arrange
ments to move the building sooner.
A water pipe directly under the old fire
station burst yesterday morning and, owing
to the blocking and other timbers under
the building, the break could not be got 'at
and the water company was compelled to
shut off this main. The closing of this
main shut off the water from Vine street
the entire distance from Bryant street to
First street, and on Bryant street from
Broadway to Washington avenue. This left
the city jail and police headquarters with
out water and residents on Vine street were
forced to haul water in buckets from wher-
hever they could obtain a supply.
An effort to locate the break will be
made , the first thing this morning. It is
not known whether a Joint was broken or
merely the service pipe Into -the fire sta
tion. The break, whatever It may be. is
supposed to havo been caused , cither by
the Jarring of the piledriver or by the
weight of, the heavy timbers placed under
the fire station preparatory to moving it.

APHTHOUS FEVER SPREADS
Two C'owe Suffering vlth Disease
Found In Dairy In Phlla
' tlelphla.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-The first
cattle In this city found to be suffering
from aphthous fever, or hoof and mouth
disease, were located today through the
department of health and charities. In
spectors learned that four cattlo had been
shipped from on Infected district near
NorrJstown, Montgomery county, to Jacob
Haesler, a dairyman. It was found that
two cows were suffering from the fever.
They were in a pen with fifteen others,
and aa a matter of precaution, tho depart
ment killed the entire herd, confiscated a
large quantity of milk, disinfected the
barns and quarantined the place.
A report that reached Dr. Ieonard Pear
son, the state veterinarian, that eight cattle
had been shipped from an Infected district
to a slaughter house In the lower section
of the city, caused the Inspector to quaran.
tine that place also and order the destruc
tion of the cows and 2i sheep In the yards
with them.
Dr. Herbert Fox, chief of the laboratory
of the state department of health, who was
sent to Danville last week to examine seven
children supposed to have contracted the j
cattle disease, said today that there need I
be little fear of the fever becoming epi
demic among htimans. He said he docs not
believe the disease Is lnter-communicable
between cattle and men by butter and milk.
BUFFALO. Nov. 2S.-"The ltuatiesn looks
good," said Commissioner Pearson of the
state department of agriculture tonight..
"No new cases of the foot and mouth
disease have been discovered In western
New York since last Tuesday and unless
unfavorable developments come on the re
opening of the East Buffalo stock yards
should be but a matter of a few days."
The commissioner returned from Albany
this mornlpg and spent the day at East
Buffalo with P. B. Wende, Dr. John Claris
and Sheriff Smith watching tho progress
of the work of cleaning the yards and pass
ing upon applications for permits for
through shipments of live slock.
DETROIT, Nov. 23.-Dr. Frank J. Fless
of the local branch of the bureau of animal
Industry, with two other veterlnarles, In

township, twenty miles from this city,
where hoof and mouth disease Is suspected.
Four farms were visited and about 100
cattle were found afflicted with the sus
pected disease. After his inspection Dr.
Fless said he would not state positively
that the cattle have hoof and mouth dis
ease, aa the sickness resembles in some
respects' myocotic stomatitis. He reported
the situation tonight to the bureau of ani
mal Industry at Washington, with a request
that exports be sent to further examine the
suspected herds, which havs been placed
In quarantine.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. :3.-Four men
perished yesterday in the working of the
Utah Copper company's mine at Bingham.
When the day shift withdrew It was
known thnt one Italian miner. Dlmlniek
Bhatta, lay unconscious and probably life
less In one of the mine levels where he had
gone In the performance of Ills duty. An
other miner was thought to be missing.
Foreman F. Kent 8nilth started down an
Incline tunnel, followed by Hugh Burns and
Ueorgo Wilson, two shovel men. They did
not return. Other mine employes waited a
reasonable time and then ventured into
the tunnel, nfter taking the precaution to
tie ropes to their waists.
Smith and his companions were found
where they had fallen In their struggle to
regain the outer air. Bhatta was found
later. He had been dead for hours. The
second missing Italian was not in the mine.

cation under the control of one company
of all the surface and elevated railroad I
lines In Chicago, together with the propjs. d I
subway, are under consideration by local
traction men and eastern capitalists. The
electrical corporation which now furnlaheti
most of the per is said to be the prospec

TailorsWho Hedge
YOU arc not hard
to fit. You have
been told that
you are, but the real
trouble lay in the
fact that your tailor
did not know how
to fit you. He was
hedging, so that if
your clothes did fit
you, he could prop
erly impress you with
his skill; and if they
did not, he could
have a soft place to
fall on.
We do not deny
that there are scores
of capable and trust
worthy tailors in
America who turn
out satisfactory clothes. But the chances are
that you have not found one of them in your
town. If you have we congratulate you and
pass on. If you have not we say this to you:
You can be properly fitted in Stein-Bloch ready-to-wear
clothes. They will give you style and personality.
When you try them on you see upon yourself the best
expression of the season 's fashion as manifested in the
acknowledged centers of style at home and abroad. The
expense you are put to is surprisingly small when reckoned
in the light of what you receive. They are ready for you at.
the best clothier's in your town.
