Jones, former chief of the Council Bluffs fire department who was caught and crushed between two freight cars while making a coupling Friday night in' the local yards of the Rock Island Rail road company, where he had been employed as a switchman since last January, died at an early hour yesterdy morning in Mercy hospital where he was taken after the accident. At the Inquest held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Treynor, the Jury, composed of H. Q. McGee, Ovlde Vien and Frank Compton, brought in the following ver dict; That R. W. Jones came to his death while In the discharge of his duty as a switchman in the yards of the Rock Is land Railroad company In Council Bluffs, and we believe the engineer, D. C. Keasey who had charge of the engine at the time of the accident was negligent and recom mend that the coroner hold said Keasev for further investigation. In accordance with the recommendation of the Jury Coroner Treynor issued a war rant for Engineer Keasey and he was taken Into custody by Constable Baker of Justice Cooper's court. Keasey's prelimi nary hearing was set for Tuesday morning by Justice Cooper and in the meantime he Is at liberty on a $1,000 bond with State Senator C. G. Saunders, local attorney for the Rock Island railroad as surety. The only witnesses examined at the Inquest were the members of the switching crew. They were James Jensen, fireman; D. C. Keasey, engineer; C. A. Shultz, switchman and W. J. Taylor, engine fore man. The testimony of these four witnesses was conflicting and there was a dispute as to whether Engineer Keasey was given a signal to back the car which resulted In the fatal accident to Jones, as he claimed he was. Jones was a member of the fire depart ment for several years and 4n 1906 was ap pointed by the city council chief of the department. In 1907 on the appointment of the Fire and Police commission under the new law Jones was dismissed from the pos ition of chief after charges had been filed against him. Jones and his friends as cribed his dismissal to politics and Jones instituted quo warranto proceedings to test the right of the commission tu dis place him. In the district court the de cision was adverse to Jones who appealed to the supreme court where the case is now pending. Jones was an athlete, who always kept In perfect training, lie and his brother, H. L. Jonea, who was also a former mem ber of .the fire department, were well known for their horlsontal bur and trapese performances. They exhibited under the name of Herbert brothers and for a number of years worked through Iowa, Nebraska and neighboring states. He was 38 years of age and leaves, be sides his wife, four brothers, Henry Jones of Rockwell City, la.; Edward Jones of Anthon, la.; Charles Jones and 11. L. Jones of this city and one sister, Miss Cora Jonea of, Omaha. He was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, tha Knights of Pythias, tha Knights of the Maccabees and the Woodmen of the World. The funeral will be held Monday after noon at 4 o'clock from tha residence, 328 Scott street. The services at the house will be conducted by Rev. T. A. Case, pastor of the First Baptist church, while the Eagles will have charge of the serv ices at the cemetery. Interest In the approaching fruit exposi tion of the National Horticultural congress Is widespread, as evidenced by the numer ous additions to the already long list of J special premiums. These come from all parts or the country and most or mem are In the form of handsome trophies. Many of the donors of these prizes express the desire that the selection of the form of the trophy be left to the discretion of the direc tors of the congress, simply designating the amount of money they are willing to contribute for the purchase of the premium. The directors have thus far obtained a considerable sum, which will permit of the placing of a large order with some respon sible firm and thus secure, It Is anticipated, much greater value for each trophy or silver cup to be offered. The special pre mium bulletin now In the process of pub lication contains a number of these special trophies, but the number will be largely In creased by the time the complete official premium list is printed. Among the offerings received at the office of Superintendent Freeman Reed yesterday whs a donation from The Omaha Dally Bee and one from Jack Evans of Omak. Wash., proprietor of the Okanogan nurseries, among the largest on the Pacific coast. Offers are received almost dally from manufacturers contributing merchandise to be given as exposition premiums. Many to Exhibit. Superintendent Reed has received official notification that state exhibits will be sent from Iowa, Nebraska, Maryland, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Idaho, Utah and Washing ton, each under state auspices. A. A. Schenck of Omaha, engineer of maintenance of the Northwestern railway, west of the Missouri river, asked for conference with Superintendent Reed yes terday afternoon Concerning a big exhibit from Oregon. Mr. Schenck Is the owner of a large fruit ranch In the famous Hood river district. He left for there last even ing and will not return until he comes with the Oregon and Washington delegations with big exhibits for the exposition. He will join Mr. Shepard and other exposition workers In furthering the interests of the exposition In the coast country. All of the big frvlt growers In the Hood river district are enthusiastic workers for the expos4tlon and the exhibits they will send to Council Bluffs will be the best that that famous section can produce. William Toole of Baraboo, Wis., president of the State Horticultural society of that state, sends the official program of th organization and writes Superintendent Reed that the anual meting of the society will be held on August 25, when the Interest taken In the forthcoming exposition will be the subject of much discussion. A repre sentative of the National Horticultural con gress Is asked to attend the annual meeting. Railroads Are Co-operating. Efforts of the railroads to promote the Interests of the congress and the 1909 exposition continue. General Passenger Agent L. M. Allen of the Rock Island writes that official Instructions have been given F. S. White. In charge of the work of promoting better agricultural methods, and whose ear was here in" July, when he gave a lecture at the court house, to co operate with exposition managers In every way possible and make a fine exhibit at the big show. Mr. Allen inclosed a copy of an official circular issued from the offioe of Traffic Manager John Sebastian directing all representatives of the Rock Island to acquire all possible Information concerning the congress and exposition and co-operate to the fullest extent In the work of arousing interest throughout the Rock Island territory. Captain J. F. Merry of Manchester, la.. representing the Illinois Central, called at the horticultural headquarters and said the Illinois Central wanted to be In on the ground floor this year. He said the com pany would have a better exhibit this year than last, especially from the south. I do first -class work reasonable. I make suits for $16, skirts, $6. I also do altering to suit.

PROTEST MARRYING PAnSON AllearaMosi He Nealeotn Ilia Unties as Probation Officer. At a meeting of the Board of County Supervisors yesterday formal complaint was made that Rov. Henry De Long neglected his duties as probation officer of the. Juvenile court,' by keeping close to his office In the court house In order that he might be on hand to officiate at wed dings. The matter was presented to tht board by County Auditor Innes, who stated that complaints had been made that Rev. Mr. De Long spends practically the entire time of each day watching the office of the clerk of the district court for prospective marriages. Other ministers In the city contend that this was not the purpose for which Mr. De Long was granted the use of an office In the court house. Another complaint was that Mr. De Long has required the sheriff to serve papers in Juvenile cases, instead of serving them himself, and further, that Mr. De Long doea not make any effort to keep young children off the street at night or out of undesirable places and that In fact he does not give the attention he should to the duties of looking after the moral welfare of the young. It was suggested to the supervisors that the Judges of the district court be asked to appoint R. Herner. truant officer of the public schools, as probation officer. This, it Is understool the board will do. The supervisors , concluded they could not do any more than this as they had no author ity over Rev. Mr. De Long, further than that his compensation as probation officer Is fixed by the board. During the discussion It was stated that according to Rev. Mr. De Long's own fig ures he had In addition to his salary of $.'4 a month as probation officer, managed to earn about $1,600 In marriage fees.
