Nowadays a large number keep on hand
the following mixture: One-half outue

SLCRO AND OFFICER SHOT
f "Alkali Ike" Taylor Pulls a Gun on
Patrolman Horner.
LATTER FERES TEUE AS HE FALLS
Taylor not Array for tfce Time Beln,
bat Later la Found at Lodging
Plaee srltk Wosasi Likely
la Prove Fatal.
Patrolman C. A. Horner of Council Bluffs
was shot and seriously wounded last night
about 10 o'clock by a negro named Taylor,
whom he had placpd under arrest at Broad
way and Kleventli street.
Horner was waiting for the pxlrol wagon
when the negro, who Is known to the
police as "Alkali Ike." suddenly broke
loose frorii the officer's hold and drawing
a revolver fired two shots, one of which
struck Horner In the left breast, while
the o;ner struck him In the arm. Horner
managed to draw his revolver nnd fire
two shots at the fleeing negro, but as far
aa Is known failed to hit him. Hmner
then collapsed and after being carried into
a nearby restaurant waa hurried to .Mercy
hoapit A In an automobile.
Shortly before midnight the negro was
found at his lodgings on South Thirteenth
street and put under arrest. He was found
lying on a cot bleeding to death and was
rushed to the hospital. Horner's bullets
had reached him as he fled and he carried
at least two In the Intestines. His recovery
Is xery doubtful.
At a late hour the bullet that hit Patrol
man Horner had not !een located, but his
charce for recovery is considered fair.
Ike Is Known Here.
"Alkali Ike" is known to the Omaha po
lice, who say that he has been arrested In
this city several limes on minor charges.
They state that he was never known in
Omaha as a "bad man," generally having
been picked up merely aa a vagrant.
While the Bluffs police were looking for
Taylor before he was arrested, the Omaha
officers rendered efficient Hid. although
they did not get the oppnttunity of miking
the arrest, which was made on the other
side of the river.
The depots, railway Hids, both bridges
and the street care lino w.re carefully
guarded and no negroes were allowed to
pass until he police and detectives were
sure that the much wanted man was not
among !hem. Several negroes were taken
from trains and cars, but were Immediately
released.
The negro proprietor of u pool hnll near
where the trouble occurred came ntar
being roughly handled, both by the police
and the crowd, for he was mistaken for
Taylor. It happened that ho was Jurt going
to take a train and was seen running to
ward the tracks to board a train Boon after
the shooting.
The Omaha police say that many in groos
flocked to Omaha after the trouble, fearing
racial troubles as the result of their brut her
coolrrd man's deeds. It is said that no tuch
trouble 'resulted, but that Council Bluff is
now shy u goodly number of colored punpla
as the result of the migration.

These officers were elected yesterday at
the Joint state convention of the I'nlted
National Association of I'ostoffice Clerks
and the National Association of Letter
Carriers. The convention was held In the
federal building, the two organizations
hofding separata business setsions.
Marshalltown was selected as the place
for holding the Joint convention in 1DM).
The business sessions of the letter Car
riers were held behind clpsed doors and
outside of the election of officers none of
the proceedings was made public.
Tho meeting of the Fostofflce Clerks
! , was declared to be the largest attended In
the history or the organization and a num
ber of matters of Interest to the members
were discussed and acted upon.
Inasmuch as It has always been the
cusii m 01 our government that the re
ards for faithful service In any depart-
mcnt or Its service anon ri tie irlven 1,,
j those who hive had experience In that
department an.l who understand the duties
devolving upon the ociupant of that poM-
iion.
And the railway mall clerks, having
ken It upon themselves to endeavor to
tak
obtain the appointment of kiiperanp.uated
members or their organization to tin posi
tion of postmaster in second and third
class offices, it is the sentiment of this
convention that this Is an Infringement
upon the rights of the postofficr- ilerks of
the country, they being better fitted, both
by experience and training, to fill these
places; therefore, tie it
Resolved. That this organization looks
with disfavor upon any attempt upon the
part of tin- railway mail clerks to invaile
the lawful and proper field of endeavor
ol ths postofficr clerks, and that our offi
cers shall at every opportunity work
egainst its establishment ,
Relieving that tlietcatnbMshmPnt of postal
savings binks ar.d parcels post, ax recom
mended by the Department, would not only
ield laige revenues to Hie department .
and thu- wipe o.it large part If not all
which a large majority of the clerks are
bonded have increased their rates per
lent, that the secretaries of the various
bn.nches are hereby recommended 1,1 take
up at once with Sis re;arv- W. Y Gibbons
at Scranton, Pa., the matter of bonds, to
the end that by the time the present bonds
expire arrangements muy he made to have
all bonds reissued at a minimum f u of V)
cei ts a thousand, and he it further
Resolved. That, believing that it Is but
common Justice to government employes
that their bonds should ! rallied at the
lowest possible late, it is the sense of this
late convention that congress should bv
legislation provide for the bonding of postal
employs by the department, as is done
in Canada, wilh profit to the uoernmeit
and economy to tho employs, and we urge

chairman of the organization committee,
reported that twenty-seven new branches
had been organized In the state during the
last year The report of O. Y. Telland
of Mason City, state secretary, showed
that the membership had almost doubled

At 4 o'clock In the afternoon the visitors
were given an automobile ride about town
as guests of tho Commercial club and the
Joint convention was brought to a close
with a banquet at the Grand hotel, at

MAYOR Mtl.OVEY CALLS A HALT
City la Running Behind sthe Rate
af SOOO m Month. 1
That the city Is falling short WW a month
in Its anticipated revenue upon which the
appropriations for the maintenance of the
several municipal departments were based
for the fiscal year commencing April 1
was the startling announcement made by
Mayor Maloney at the meeting of the city
cuuncil last night. The statement was
made In response to a request from Chalr
meii Zurmiiehlen of the Board of Fire and
Ponce Commlssicners that the city council
appoint an extra man for the fire depait
ment during the next six months while the
members of the different companies will be
taking their ten days' annual vacations.
"Instead of employing extra men," said
the mayor, "it looks like as if we will
have to cut down expenses by laying men
off. Owing to the agitation from certain
quarters the anticipated revenue of the
city has nlready fallen short $H00 a month
and Indications are the shortage will be
even larger."
After more or less discussion the mstter
was referred to the finance committee,
which will report back to the council next
Monday night.
Numerous bids on furnishing the various
supplies for tho rlty departments" were re
ceived. Some were referred to the city
clerk for tabulation, while others were
turned over to the committee of the whole
to wrestle with. Caterer Brooks being the
only bidder whs again given the contract
for feeding the prisoners at the city Jail
at 15 cents per meal.

Nice Question Settled by the Supreme
Court in Will Case.
HEIRS WANT MONEY KEPT HERE
Question Xntr Arises, Can the state
Get Inheritance Ta n Col
lateral Requests that Go Out
of the Country f
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DFS MOINES, May 11. (Special.) That
a man dying in Iowa may lenve his estate
tn the poor of a foreign municipality with
out designating any specific trustee for the
trust fund was announced by the supremo
court of Iowa today. The esse wherein
the qurstlon arose, come from Sioux orunty.
I). J. K lumprt, dylpg. left a few thou
sand dollars to distant relatives and then
decreed that the balance of his estate,
valued at about Il'i.OOO, should be dis
tributed among the poor of Voorst, GeMer
land. Netherland. He appointed executors
for hla will.
Some of the heirs who received small
bequests contested tha will and demurred
to the section giving money to the foreign
poor on the ground that the will designated
no proper trustee for Its distribution. The
executors chose to stand on the question
cif demur and appealed from the lower
court. The supreme court reverses the
lower court and says the section provid
ing tho bequest for the poor Is all Hght,
as the city mentioned Is probably an In
corporated municipality with duly elected
officers and as the bequest is for the poor
generally of that city It can be distributed
equitably through the municipal Insti
tutions for such work under the direction
of Its officers.
Now another Interesting question has
been raised in the office of the attorney
general of this state. That is, can Iowa
oollect a collateral Inheritance tax on this
large amount left to the poor of a foreign
municipality. Attorney General Byers will
probably be asked for an opinion In the
matter before the money leaves the Juris
diction of the state courts.
