Will Insist en the Kilrrmt
Penalty.
Strict technical compliance with nil th
provision of the mulct law by the saloon
men of Council Bluffs la to be demandeJ
by the Iowa Antt-Baloon league, la the
statement of M. B. Odle, attorney for that
organisation. There are to be no half
measures and any saloonman violating In
the slightest degree the provisions of the
mulct law la to be put out of business, li
the slogan of the antl-aaloon forrea.
There are Hated for hearing before Judge
Wheeler In the district court Monday
twenty-eight . i aalonn Injtincilon aulta
brought by the lows Anti-Saloon league.
In which Joaeph Leader, a resident of the
town of Oakland, appeara aa plaintiff and
M. 8. Odle aa attorney. leader la a leading
member of the Pottawattamie County Antl
Aaloon league and at the genera) election
laet November waa a candidate for member
of the board of aupervtaors on the pro
hibition ticket. '
Incidentally It may be noted that the euc
resaful prosecution of these saloon Injunc
tion aulta neta the attorney for the plain
tiff a tea of $25 In each case aa provided
by law. This fee la taxed against the de
fendant saloonkeeper. Until a few years
ago the fee In such caaes waa $100 and at
one term of court in Council Bluffa a local
attorney who made a practice and Incident
ally a) handsome Income by bringing such
aulta against aaloonmen. netted $3,000.
It la the Intention, it Is stated. In the
casea which are to come up for a hearing
Monday before Judge Wheeler, to ask In
junctions, not only against the saloon
keepers, but againat the property also, and
to ask orders of abatement. Such an order
If carried Into effect would result In the
Issuance of a writ of abatement; the seiz
ure and destruction of all liquor found In
the place, the seizure of the saloon fix
tures and the closing of the building for
a period of one year againat use for saloon
purposes.
The aaloonmen regard the situation aa
moat serious and they are now endeavoring
to devise some means whert-by they can
stave off the Impending descent of the
sword now hanfrtrtC, 'over their heads. Dur
ing the. last few days a petition haa been
circulated among them asking that the
prosecution of the oasea brought under the
direction of : the Iowa Anti-Saloon league
be suspended, except tn those casea where
flagTanf. violations -of the law are known
to havo been, committed. The signers of
the petition agree that In the future they
will comp1jf; strictly with the terms of the
law. Tile saloonmen, however, are not
over confident that Attorney Odle will pay
any attention to this) petition even if guar
anteed that he shall receive the lull amount
of his fee In each case filed.

F. H. Ettersol, president of the Independ
ent Telephone company, In response to an
Inquiry of the city council concerning tha
Intent of the company toward carrying; out
its franchise contract with the city, sent a
letter which the city clerk received yes
terday, stating that the company would be
gin the erection of Its exchange building
snd would complete Its conduit system this
spring; as aoon as the weather settled. He
Intimated that the telephone system would
be In working order by the time the two
years' limit fixed by the franchise had ex
pired. The company received its franchise
by a vote of the people In si special election
held over a year ago. Ewrly laat spring the
conduits were laid on Twenty-fifth street
in advance of the paving of that street.
The company purchased a site for the ex
change building from David Anderson at
Twenty-fifth and M streets, opposite the
Workmen temple. Since that time nothing
has been done. Sections of the conduits
which had been distributed along other
streets were sgain taken up late last fall
and piled on the vacant lot.
The plans and specifications require that
the company construct conduit systems
throughout the business section of the city.
In the residence district poles may be used.
Swath Oaaaha School Not Dropped.
N. M. Graham of the South Omaha High
school is anxious so correct a rumor to
the effect South Omaha had been dropped
from the accredited list of the North Cen
tral Association of Universities. Such a
report waa printed in Chicago. No suoh
knowledge has been communicated to South
Omaha, the city most concerned. Mr. Gra
ham communicated with Inspector Reed of
the State Bureau of Accredited High
schools concerning the matter. Mr. Reed
said as far as he knew no action had been
taken by the committee of the associa
tion which would affect South Omaha.
Further he said he thougtil the standard
of the South Omaha institution fully up to
requirements and that the city could not be
dropped; but might demand recognition.
The effect of dropping the city would be
that all students of South Omsha would
have to take an entrance examination upon
applying for enrollment in any of the col
leges of the association.
