Mayor Maloney has evolved a plan
whereby much of the automobile scorching
on Lower Broadway can bo checked amd
the vlolatore . of the speed ordinance
brought to time. His plan contemplates the
Installation of a telephone alarm, system
between the mator bridge and police head-
quarters. .
With direct telephone communication with
the toll housa on the motor bridge the po
lice department would be enabled to ob
' tain the deacrlptlon. If not the names, of
the occupants of any west bound- auto
1 which might have been reported to have
! been speeding on Broadway, and the num
ber of the car. Such information would
lead to the ultimate arrest of the offeod--
j lug parties. Most of the offenders agalnxt
tha apeed ordinance crosa the bridge, cither
going or returning from Omaha. -"Automobiles
on West Broadway rn
I danger tha life of pedestrians and persons
j driving In vehicles every day, and I am de
termined to do what I can to atop It." de-
dared Mayor Maloney yesterday. "By In
I stalling one of the telephones of the private
' system used by the street railway company
' word can be sent quickly to police head
I quarters or to the toll office on the bridge
, of "scorchers." I believe such a system
will do much to stop this reckless driving
cif autos on Broadway. In any case. It will
do no harm to experiment with It."

Under an order Issued by Major O. H.
Richmond, chief of police, all the pool and
billiard halls were closed Friday night at
12 o'clock. No order regarding the closing
of these places on Sundays was made by
the chief.
'There will he no regulation of the pool
halls on Sunday, as far as I am concerned."
said Major Richmond. "At the aame time
I think It would be all right for these
places to close at t o'clock In the evening
on Sundays. This matter Is before the
city council and I have absolutely nothing
to say with regard to It. If the city council
desires to establish further restrictions, or
let them go as they have been going In the
past, It Is not my business to voice my
opinions on the subject."
The proprietors Of thirteen of the nine
teen licensed pool halls In the city have
signed an agreement to close their places
at midnight on week days and at p. m.
on Sundays. A copy of the agreement with
the signatures of tho thirteen proprietors
has been filed with the city clerk.
Those signing this sgreement, which It Is
hoped will head off more drastic regulatlDn,
are:

DES MOINES. April 21. ( Spec Mai.) Gov

slate pharmacy board, consisting of Harry
Eatnn, Shenandoah; D. B. Hadden, Alta,
and I. W. Clements, Marengo. Mr. Eaton

cancy and his term had expired. Hadden
is the democratic member to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of J. S.
Uoss of Atlantic. v
Mr. Clements takes the place of Kelts
on the board. Clements Is said to be es
pecially strong in the State Pharmacy as
sociation and to be able to handle that
Important body. Hadden Is somewhat
noted as a scientist and student, and es
pecially as an astronomer. The members
were not here, hence iruld not organize
at once, but that will be done soon. It Is
not known who will be chosen secretary,
but the appointments were made wltU tha
understanding that the present secretary,
C. W. Phillips, would not again be elected,
and this will give a complete new force
In charge of the enforcement of the phar
macy laws of the state.

Keltx claimed to have made a trip to Sioux.
City b'd one occasion, when, it Is said,
evidence elxsts that he came to Dee Moines,
and on another occasion he claimed to have
traveled from Davenport to Des Moines.
when. In fact, he went direct to Webster
City. The council has asked that Kelu
take up-these Items and explain them, and
if the governor Is Incvrrect, then these late
bills will be paid In full.
The governor also states In an announce
ment for publication that the council took
up the bills last Tuesday and that the
council was unanimous In determining to
discharge Kellz. Other members of the
council will not admit that thia is the
caSeX
In a statement previously given to the

nose of the actions against members of
the commission was to make room for oth
ers on the board, as tile .governor waa de
slrous of reoganlzlng .the board with his
friends. Kelts declares his ability to re
fute' every statement - of fact as to the

by the election of Mrs Miranda B. Tulloch
of this city. Mrs. Scott obtained a major
ity over Mrs. William Cummlngs Story of
New York of only eight votes out of 873
ballots cast. The election was character
ized by a bitterness that prevented the mo
tion of Mrs. Story to muke the election
of her rival unanimous, being adopted with
out dissent from a group of anti-administration
delegates.
Ijtst night thirty tellers counted the bal
lots for president-general, bach of which

had voted for her, asked that support be
given Mrs. Scott and moved that tltj elec
tion be made unanimous. Cries of) "No,
