HUSTLING FOR HEAVY LIST
Saloon Men'i Organization Starts Out
Its General Consent Petition.
ARND AND HARDIN CARRYING IT
Antl-Palonnlsta Threaten to I'abllsa
5asnea of signers In the Hope
or Making It Hard to
Fill List.
The canvass to secure over 3 000 names
to the new general 'petition of content
was commenced Wedncsdsy by William
Arnd, former county treasurer, and W.
D. Hardlrh city assessor, acting on be
hnlf of an organization of the saloonmen
of Council Bluffs. A list of the voters has
bren copied from the poll hooks of the last
general election and great care 'will be
taken that each signature corresponds ex
actly to the name aa It appears In the poll
book.
The announcement of the combined op
posing forces of the Ministerial associa
tion and the Iowa Anti-saloon league that
the names of those signing the petition
would be publ'shed as soon as the docu
ment Is filed and becomes of public rec
ord will undoubtedly deter many from
signing the petition who otherwise would
do so.
The otrculators of the petition discovered
this early in the canvass yesterday. A
well known business man, on being pre
sented the petition for his signature, said:
"While I have no wish to place any ob
stacle In the way of the saloons doing a
legitimate business, I cannot sign this pe
tition, as I would not like to see my name
in print as being on It." The name of this
business man appears on the general pe
tition of consent filed in 1900.
As was to be expected, the Woman's
Christian Temperance union will take a
hand In the campaign against the petitlpn
of consent. The secretary of the local
union, In accordance with Instructions re
ceived at the last meeting of the organiza
tion, has requested each minister of the
city to make mention from his puipft next
Sunday of the general petition of consent.
No sjggestion, however, was made to the
pastors as to the manner In which they
should present the matter to their respec
tive congregations. -''We did not even ask
them to charge those members of their
congregations who were voters not to sign
the petition. We have enough confidence
in. the ministers of our City to know that
they will present the matter In a manner
which will bring the best results." de
clared Mrs. O. O. Oldham, president of the
local union. 1
The old petition of general consent un
der which the saloons are operating was
Hied In 1900. It was circulated by L. M.
Bedlson and 'F. 8. Martin and It bears
2.0J0 signatures. The number of signatures
required at that time Is based on . the
vote cast at the general election In 189.
This statement of consent, when filed, was
not limited by lawas to the time It con
tinued In effect. The new law, -however,
terminates all existing petitions of con
sent on July ir mi.
If the circulators succeed in securing the
required number of signers the new peti
tion of consent will probably be presented
to the board of supervisors at Its June
session. Arnd and Hardin are to receive
11.080 from the saloonmen for their work
in circulating the petition.

Anaaal Meeting Lacked a Dsorsm
aad Was Pat Orer.
The Council. Bluffs Law and Order
league, which stsrted out a year ago with
a considerable blare of triimphets, appears
to have lapsed Into a state of Innocuous
desuetude. The annual meeting celled for
.Wednesday night In the south coi rt room of
the county court house failed for fack of a
quorum. Only alx members put In an ap
pearance and under the constitution and
bylaws of the orgsntzatlon the presence
of ten members la necessary to form a
quorum. Those who put In an appearance
were Attorney KUlpack, who has been
acting as president since th resignation of
Attorney D. E. Stuart: Attorney C. E.
Swanson, Bev. James M. Willlsms, pastor
of Boradway Methodist church; Harry Cur
tis, general secretary of the Young Men's
Christian association; F. C. Lougee. and
Dr. James H. Casson.'
A strenuous effort on the part of Mr.
Lougee, who spent half an hour at the
telephone calling up absent members, failed
to secure a quorum and the meeting wis
finally abandoned. Another effort to hold
the annual meeting will be made this after
noon at 4 o'clock at the office of Mr.
Lougee.

snes Involved In Case and Derided
by State Snnreme Conrt Re
warded aa of Very Great
est Moment.
DES MOINES, May 7. (Special.)-The
stato of Iowa stsnds to receive within a
very few days the largest bunch of cold
cash ever exacted by low Jroin helrj
of an Iowa estite. This will be from thj
KJeorge Wells estate in urunoy oounty.
The state will ttet at loast $t.0')0.
A short time ago the supreme court de
cided who should pay the tax and also
that it should be paid not only on that
part passing to heirs, but that part paid
in set'leinent of certain claims, and tre
estate Itself rather than the heirs shell
pay all bui a -mall prt of tne iiim.
The Isaues Involved in the suit are re
garded as the'mot Important ev?r in
volved In any -ase regarding collateral
Inheritance taxes, for If the mate hl
lost the law might aa well huve been re
pealed. Hon. C. W. Mullan of Waterloo, the
resident executor of the estate, stated
the other day. as he looked up the de
cision and secured a ropy of the court's
orders, that there Is now nothlt)? left
but to pay over the taxes to the state
treasury. No further litigation Is likely.
All but 15.000 of the tax should have
been paid long ago, but was held up
awulllnj: the decision.
The Wells estate in Iowa, aside from
nine properly in Connecticut, invoiced
tSM WU of which about IJGO.fxw was in per
sonal property and the rest In land. After
the debts are deducted the state will collect
on about $900,000.
- The amount due the state will be a little
larger than that received from the Callsnan
estate a few years ago when the state got
t-tt.COO. An effort was made a year and a
half ago. when an ff'.ort was being made
to run the state nlo dept. to induce the
executors to pay up the i.ix then due, but
thla was not done. The rtste does not now
need the money, but it will help swell the
surplus in the genernl fund.

Just how far the State Board of parole
will exercise the extraordinsry authority
given it in the new law passed by the
recent legislature to grant a pardon to a
man convicted for the first time of a
crime before he is sent to the penitentiary.
Is a matter of considerable speculation.
The first application to the board to
exercise this discretion was turnexL down.
It was In a case from Des Moines", where
a boy was convicted of uttering a forged
Instrument. His cause was taken up by
Canon Bell of the Episcopal church here,
who urged that as he was young and had
never before been, convicted of a crime he
should be paroled. The board refused to
grant this parole. Rev. Bell was Incensed
and openly accused the board members of
being out of accord with the altruistic
tpirlt of this Christian age and of being
hard-hearted. By this precedent It Is ex
pected the board Is going to be rather
reticent about taking advantage of the
new law. "Now, as a matter of fact, this
law was passed by the legislature at the
Instance of Canon Bell. He secured the
Introduction of the bill and worked for
Its passage. He says that two year
hence he will do even more. He then ex
pects to have the bill amended so ss to
make It compulsory upon the board to
parole the "first timer" Into the custody
of some good Christian citizen. He epects
to have it included that the paroled man
shall pay back to the atate the coa( of
his conviction and make good, so far as
possible, any wrong he has committed.
It will be provided he shall be given rea
sonable time to do" this. If he violates
the provisions of this parole and does nut
report properly to his guardian, he must
be returned to the court lo be dealt with
more severely. Canon Bell ssys that if
men who make their first mistake are thus
handled and the spirit of Christian man
hood awakened within them they may be
saved from doing further wrong It la the
iligma of having ueeu lo the penitentiary.

CABINET CRISIS IN RUSSIA
Czar Asked to Disassociate Himself
from Beactionary Campaign.
ULTIMATUM FROM ST0LYPIN
Entire Ministry Will Resign If
Step Is Not Taken Nicholas
Will -Answer la Few
Days.
ST. PETERSBT'Rd, May T.-The out
come of the Russian ministerial ir sis ia
now entirely dependent upon the emperor's
line of action, as iremier Stolyplu s ex
haustive report, based on rhe cabinet meet
ing of May 4, and submitted to Ills majesty
today left no doubt in the emperor a mind
that the cabinet Is a unit In fuvor rf
sanctioning the naval bill. Th ten ler
had a long audience with n empi.ror nt
Tsarskoe Selo and while ihe priinni;- de
mand was for his majesty's approval of
the bill creating a general staff fee Ihe
navy, the underlying object of He isit
waa to force the emperor iisassocl.i;e him
self from the hostile ctnvmign of tne
reactionaries and the courtiers lone t I im.
The painful necessity of tiie leliremcnt f
the cabinet, In case of an fiiv.-e df ia Mi
was delicately 1mplled..and the niperor an
nounced at parting with the premier that
he would take the matter under considera
tion for a few days. The conference of
yesterday and today furnish no Indication
of the nature of the emperor's ultimate de
cision Opinion of Cabinet Member.
A member of the cabln-it said mis' even
ing that ths resignations -f !M minister.
had not been tendered nor 'ii ; there ny
reason toxpert that tlvj Vmier'.r wt.uld
break with the rablnet on s point' v.hc!i
hsd been thoroughly thresh, uut belwien
them twice before.
The Issue has nothing lo do with a big
ger navy; It Is a n ere matter of a con
stitutional technicality whether , parlia- .
ment. which admittedly posseases the right
to vote appropriations for the army and
nav), should have the power to attach a
clause declaring that a naval siaff had
been established. The bill In iiietion was
originally introduced In the second Duma
with the emperor's cognizance and passed,
but a successful opposition was led in the
council of the empire by M. Von Schwane
bach, a, former minister 1n the Stolyplu
cabinet. In the meantime the secand
Duma waa dissolved. "
Vladimir Bobrlimky. leader of tha mod
erate conservatives, whe with the October
hits fprm the government's majority In
the Duma, aays that Slolypln Is shoulders
above the rest of Russia's present day
statesmen and that the throne l under In
estimable obligations to him for bringing
about the existent condition pf. order, it
is too-early yet. Count Bobrlnsky declared,
to, dispense with his .services. Baron
Demeyendorf expresses the opinion that
M. Rtolypln's most dangerous enemies are
high offlelala who have been - mixed In
scandals, the Moscow and Ht. ' Petersburg
police and the commissary department of
the army, into which an investigation waa
recently begun at the premier s orders.
