"Tha best meeting of the league ever
held." declared Counc'lmen Jensen. Skixla
holm and Younkerman. who returned last
night from Fort Dodge, where they at
tended the annual convention of the Iowa
League of Municipalities. City Treasurer
True and City Solicitor Kimball also rep
resented Council Bluffs at the meeting.
State 8enator Q. Saunders of this city
waa In attendance Wednesday and ad-
I dressed the league on "Hallroad Terminal
Taxation."
City Solicitor Kimball, chairman of the
! IcgiKlatlve committee of the league. In his
report gave an exhaustive review of the
terminal tax legislation advocated by the
i iiK'i" nnil paused by the legislature at Its
ut sup'flon.
u lille your chairman still believes that
.in ! proposed was the best law that
i cu hp framed for taxation of railways
vilthln the state," said Mr. Kimball In hi
report, "we are not unalterably opposed to
any other fair plan. We are not particular
how the division of assessment Is accom
plished, so It is accomplished In some fair
manner." Mr. Kimball said that the com
mittee recommended that the fight should
be maintained for a fair and equitable as
sessment of railroad property In cities,
rather than yield to a compromise which
would not be Just. The committee had
commended the Van Law bill, which failed
to rasa at the last session of the legisla
ture. The city clerks and treasurers In attend
ance effected an organization, City Treas
urer True of Council Bluffs being made a

State Campaign
On in Earnest
Candidate for State Superintendent
First to Open Up Hit Head
quarter. DES MOINES, Sept. 23. -(Special Tele
gram.) A. L. Heminge of Keosaqua ar
rived In Des Moinea today and opened hla
campaign for state superintendent. He la
the first candidate for any office to get
Into the field and the campaign for 1910
may therefore be said to be open. Discus
sion of the office and probable candidatas
quickened with the arrival of Hemlnger.
He will be one of the strong candidates
In the field. It la believed the field will
narrow from the ten or a dozen now talkod
of to probably Hemlnger, Lark, Bralnard,
I'lckctt and possibly one other. Pickett
and Hemlnger are the only ones formally
announced. w
Mack J. Oroves of Esthervllle, tha demo
cratic nominee for railroad commissioner
on the laat ticket, and Claude R. Porter,
one time democratic nominee for governor,
were sprung today for the position on tha
Board of Control to succeed Hamilton.
Three hundred army officers and their
wives , and aa many civilians and their
wives attended the military ball tonight
tendered by the Des Moines people to the
army men. It waa the largest and grand
est affair of the kind ever given In Des
Moinea. i
Leroy Twining, a Des Moines -druggist,
i nd Miss Edna Vorheea will be married
Saturday In Atlantic. Ia., at the home of
Senator James - Bruce, whose wife la a
sister of Miss Vorheea.
Governor Carroll is expected home to
morrow from his tour of the state Institu
tions with the Board of Control and it Is
understood from persons with whom he
has talked that he may recommend some
changes In the law at the next session of
the legislature. The one thing the governor
has talked about most Is the idea of pro
viding for visitors to all the Institutions
to talk to the inmates and investigate any
alleged abuses. He has not decided to
make this recommendation, but Is turning
It over in his mind.
The governor found on his trip that
while the board has looked after all the
business affairs and other details of the
state Institutions In a manner above re
proach he became convinced that they
could not have the time to investigate the
care of the patients. Published reports
that the governor will make the manage
ment of the stateN Institutions the cam
paign issue In tha next campaign for re
nomlnatlon are not given any weight In
political clrdea.
Mack J. Groves, the democratic nominee
for railroad commission, Is being suggested
aa the democratic member on tha Board of
Control to take the place of Hamilton,
who has resigned. Groves Uvea In Esther
vllle. where he owna more than 1,000 acres
of farm lund which he actively manages.
He la also a practicing attorney and owner
of banking Interests.
Senator Lambert, who Is serving on the
finance committee of the Board of Edu-
i cation and has been mentioned for the po-
sltion Is out of the question. He Is re
; reiving K.'uO a year on the educational
board and would receive but 1.1. Out on the

Mabray Little thanftrd.
Mabray was brought Into court a short
while before the grand Jury made Its re
port. He was accompanied by hla wife and
her sister, Mrs. Robertson of Kansas City.
They occupied seats Immediately In front
of the bar. Mabray, despite his several
months In Jail, appeared to bo In excellent
health and not a bit changed In appearance
since the time he made Council Bluffs the
headquarters for the operations of the
"Pittsburg millionaires."
y The substanct of the Indictment was
stated to Mabray by Assistant United
Slates Prosecuting Attorney Stewart, but
the Indictment Itself, which covers twenty
seven typewritten papes, was not read.
Judge McPherson ordered that a copy of
the indictment be furnished Mabray'a at
torneys, and Colonel Temple stated that
this would be done. On being asked If h'l
was Indicted under his right name, Mabray
answered In the affirmative, and to a
further question from the court said his
name was John C. Mabray. It had been
generally understood that his name was
Jamea and not John.
In anawar to a question from the court
as to when the other defendants named In
the Indictment would be arrested, Colonel
Temple replied: "The whereabouts of many
of them are not known at this time."
Then ensued a discussion aa to when the
trial of Mabray waa to be held and as to
how long the trial would take. Colonel
Temple waa of the opinion that It would
occupy three or four daya, hut Judge Mc
pherson said he thought ona day ought to
suffice. Colonel Temple called attention to
the fact that a large number of witnesses
would have to be examined.
No Trial Thla Term.
"The number of witnesses,'' said the
court, "will be limited on each point. It Is
customary to limit to five witnesses on
each point.
It was finally decided to leave the matter
of fixing the date of the trial of Mabray
until today. It was stated last night that
It was extremely doubtful If the trial would
take place at this term. The members of
the petit Jury, It waa said, have been for
the last two days In contact with many
of the "Mikes" who were here as wltnefse
before tho grand Jury, and It waa stated
that Judge McPherson had declared that
It would be manifestly unfair to tha defend
ant to have his trial at thla time before
thfm.
Prior to the grand Jury returning the
new Indictment yesterday afternoon the
government dismissed the two IndletmentB

$5,000 by the gang. The dismissal waa an
nounced Just as George 8. Wright, Ma
bray'a attorney, was prepared to argue th
demurrers which ha filed Wednesday to the
Indictments. On the dismissal of the two
Indictments the court ordered Mabray held
until the report of the grand jury ahould
be made In the afternoon.
Regarding the action of the government
In dismissing the Indictments Assistant
United States Attorney fl. U. Rush of
Omaha, who had been assigned to assist
In the prosecution of the Mabray cases,
said:
"The government felt that the old Indict
ments did not cover the case fully, In tho
light of later Information which has been
secured since these Indictments were re
turned last spring. This fresh Information
came from the Mlkea themselves, who, so
long as they believed they might them
selves be Included In any charge of con
spiracy, were reluctant to tell what they
knew. Now they know Unit they are not
liable to any such charge, and they have
oome forward with Information which
makes the government's csi much
stronger than under tha former Indict
ments. "In order to have a conspiracy the minds
of two, three or more persona muat work
in harmony toward the accomplishment of
tho fraudulent act. These Mikes wore de
ceived by Mabray and his associates, and
their thoughts were not alonff tha same
lines as those of the men who swindled
them. Therefor, they were not parties to
the conspiracy."

Street Railway Strike.
OMAHA, Sept. 23, To tha Editor of The
Bee: I desire to present what seems to
me to bo the proper view of the preaent
aituatlon in Omaha, In relation to the strike
now on.
When so many peopje are put to so much
Inconvenience and trouble there is a wnn?
of no small Importance somewhere. In thl.t
case to whom la this wrong chargeable? It
must be chargeable to the strikers, or tu
the street railway company, or to both.
But anyhow the paramount Interest or
right Is that of tha public and not that
of either of theae two parties so far a the
running of the cars Is concrned. This Is a
truth that many people still fail to recog
nize although It waa forcibly praaented by
President Roosevelt at the time nf the ap
pointment of the anthracite coal commis
sion. x
In the present case the strlkera and their
families on ona aide and tha officers, stock
holders and bondholders and their families
on the other probably do not number 2.B00,
but the general public numbering 100,000
or more (there are some people who have
not much use for tha cars), are put to
great Inconvenience and trouble and loaa.
Each of tha partlea to this controversy
desires supremely to have tha backing, of
public approval. Thla big Jury, the public,
will give a verdict that cannot be set
aside and from which there la no appeal.
The street cara must and will be operated,
and thoso who stand In the way will be
run over.
It would be right, and within constitu
tional limits, for tha legislature to provide
expressly a municipal authority to assume
control of and operate property used In
public service under some circumstances.
It Is not Incumbent on the public to
settle any controversy small matter un
der dispute between these parties before
having the cars operated or even any larger
question. The cars must be operated. This
Is no small matter, this crime against the
public. Home person or company or tunlon
must answer tor ,t, before the biff Jury.
As to those despicable creatures who In
the time of a strike take occasion to let
out their' meanness and do violencs to per
sona and property, their condemnation
should be swift and severe. Disorder' Is
hell's first law. We aee enough meanness
In ordinary times, an1 It Is easy to see how
and where the seeds of crime and degra
dation are being constantly planted In the
city. BBRIAH F. COCHRAN.
