FARMER HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Box aa Farmer Throw
to the Partswat.
Gas which had accumulated In the con
duit of the Independent Telephone company
on Broadway and South Main street caused
a succession of explosion shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday, causing considerable ex
citement, but. fortunately, doing but Uttl
damage. On after another the heavy iron
coverings of the manhole along thn rout
of the conduit were blown high In the air
and shattered by th fore of the xpto
slons. Although place of th broken Iron
manhole lids were blown In every direc
tion, no on wm Injured. . A th manbote
were successively blown Into th air dens
clouds of smok and vapor were emitted
from th boles.
Th first explosion occurred at th corner
of Broadway and Main street, and wa fol
lowed rapidly by other at th different
man hole as far east as Park avenue and
south on Main street to First avenue.
The music stor of th Schmoller & Muel
ler company' on South Main street, a few
door south of Broadway, suffered the
most damag from the explosion. A Jagged
piece of the shattered manhole covering
was blown through the plate glass window,
and a piano standing In the window was
considerably damaged.
Narrow Escape tor Farmer.
R. J. Harris, a farmer of Haxcl Dell
township, had a narrow escape. He was
driving east on Broadway and his wagon
was Just over the manhole at the corner of
Qlen avenue when It was blown up. The
heavy Iron cover was blown against the
bottom of the wagon, nearly lifting It off
the ground and tearing a hole In the wagon
box. Harris was thrown out of the wagon,
but escaped with a few bruises. The horses
ran away, and when last seen were going
east on Broadway at a lively clip.
The presence of gas coming from the con
duit had annoyed the employes In the ex
change building on Main street for the last
few days. Manager Laubach was In the
tunnel leading to the conduit making an In
vestigation when the explosion took place.
He beat a hasty retreat, but not In time to
escape being covered with dust and debris
of all kinds. Mr. Lauhach was of the opln
tn that the gas was Illuminating gas which
had come from a leak In the pipes of the
Citlxens Oas and Electric company, but
Manager English of the latter company was
inclined to the opinion that It was sewer
gas which had caused the explosion. Up to
last evening this question had not been set
tled. The explosion did not interfere with the
telephone service In any way, and Manager
Laubach estimated the damage to the con
duits would not exceed $100.

BITTER CONTEST IN HOUSE
Seat from Clinton County the Bone ot
Contention.
MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR GARST
Lavr for More Stringent Regulation
of the Sale of Lienor Are
Recommended More Power
for Railway Commission.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Jan. 11 8pec1al.)-One
contest for a seat In the general assembly
promises to be one of the most bitterly
fought of any for years and It may require
half the session to hear the evidence be
fore the committee to be appointed by
Speaker Feely tomorrow. This is the con
test from Clinton county, where Bd Robb.
republican, seeks to unseat A. W. Kendall.
In his notice of contest filed with the
secretary of state, Mr. Robb asked for a
recount In several precincts. He contends
that enough ballots were thrown out wrong
fully in these precinct to elect him. This
morning Mr. Kendall filed his answer and
In it he demands a recount of the entire
county. He says that the districts cited
by Mr. Robb are In the city of Clinton,
where he was strongest He urges that In
the country districts, where he claims he
wa strongest, as many ballots favorable to
him were thrown out on the same pretext.
There will be enough In the recount of the
country, he says to offset any gain that Mr.
Robb may make in the city. Both have re
tained able legal talent to represent them,
Mr. Kendall retaining Wolf Wolf of Clin
ton and J. B. Sullivan of Des Moines and
Mr. Robb has retained Skinner & Coo ot
Clinton and E. L. Miller of Clinton.
Revision of Liquor Law.
The first petition for revision of the liquor
laws In Iowa came Into the house of repre
sentatives this morning from Lyon county.
It is expected there will be a great many
of such petitions before the legislature Is
long in session.
Examinations for Clerks.
Speaker Feely of the house of repre
sentatives this morning appointed on the
committee to examine committee clerks
at to their qualifications aa sten
ographers, Representatives Arney of Mar
shalltcwn, Moore of Linn and Stlllman
of Greene. This' committee will prob
ably meet and examine the clerks Thurs
day. It yet remains for those taking
the examination to secure an appointment
from some member chairman of a com
mittee with power to select a clerk.
After the committees are announced by
Speaker Feeley a committee on assign
ment of committee rooms, grouping of
committees and assignment of clerks will
bo made.
Canvass of Vote.
The senate and house will necessarily
meet In Joint session Wednesday to can
vass the vote for governor and lieutenant
governor at the last election. After the I
vote 1 canvassed the legislature will be
in readiness for the inauguration Thurs
day.
Drawing; for Seats.
Tomorrow morning there will be a
lively scene in the house of representa
tives at the drawing of seats. The house
has decided there shall be no favoritism
to old member that name of all will
have to go Into the hat and be drawn
out. There Is considerable rivalry for
the seats directly In front of the speak
er's desk, where his attention can quickly
be gained. ' r
Governor Warren Oarst ha received
an invitation to: attend the Inaugural
ball at Washington as a citizen ot Iowa.
The committee having in charge the
management of this event decided to in
vito one representative cltlien outside
the governor of the state to attend the
function. By recommendation of both
Iowa senators. Warren Garst and wife
were invited a citizens from Iowa. Th
present governor, whose short term ex
pires Thursday, has accepted the Invita
tion. Messaire of Governor.
In his message to the legislature Gov
ernor Garst urged more effective regula
tion of the liquor traffic. "There Is no
doubt," he said, "that the trend of the
times Is in the direction of the thorough
control and reasonable restriction of th
traffic in Intoxicating liquors. I believe
that the law should be amended so that
the machinery for the enforcement of the
regulations surrounding the saloons and
the liquor traffic will be strengthened and
be made effective In every community in
the state. I would also recommend that
you memorialize congress for a change in
the revised statutes so that it would be
definitely provided that the Initiative for
issuing a federal license for the sale of
intoxicating liquors would be with the local
community directly interested. The federal
government should not legalize, so far as
it can do so, the liquor traffic In place
where the people' do not want it to be
legalized or tolerated.
"It is asserted that 85 per cent of th
destitution, crime and degradation of the
fctate is due to the nefarious traffic in In
toxicating liquors. With the thought that
the saloons may be reduced In number and
be under better control and surveillance, I
recommend that the law be amended so a
to require the payment of an annual
license fee of l,.uo, divided so that one
third goes to the municipality, one third
to the county and one-third to the state."
Expansion of the powers of the Railroad
commission was reccomended. "That com.
mission," the governor said, "should have
authority over the telegraph and telephone
Ilnea as much as over other common car
riers. The commission also should have
some measure of authority over public
utilities, such aa stmet car lines, water
works, gas and electric plants."
He suggested also that congress be me
morialized to permit taxation of national
banks, the same as state and savings banks
In the state In which they are located.

The debate was replete with sensational
Incidents, one of which was ex-Governor
John I. Cox's speech in defense of his past
record and his present atttldue toward tern,
per an re legislation. Charges of Intimlda
tlon were made by 8Vnator Fort against
Rev. Dr. E. E. Folk of the Anti-Saloon

threatened to ruin him religiously as well
as politically, if he voted against prohibi
tion, and that Folk was attempting to carry
out his threat by publishing In his paper
