The city council last night granted the National Horticultural congress permts slon to use the new central fire station at the head of Bryant street during the fruit exposition to be held November 1 to 20 for office and exhibition purposes It is proposed to use rooms on the sec ond floor for offices and the large room on the ground floor for exhibits. Per mission was also granted to use half of Washington avenue on the north side of the Auditorium for a temporary struc ture and the open space at the Intersec tion of Washington avenue, Bryant and Main streets, known as "The Plazxa," for a similar purpose. The use of the city lots south of, the fire station was also granted and If the space is needed the city will order the closing of Bryant street between Washington avenue and Vine street. The request for them concessions was made to the city council by Charles A. Beno and J. G. Wadsworth of th execu tive committee of the National Horticul tural congress. Councilman Jensen of the First ward ob jected to granting the use of Washing ton avenue because of the failure of the National Horticultural congress to fulfill Its promise made last year to construct a cement sidewalk In lieu of the brick one It removed. Mr. Jensen withdrew his ob jection when Mr. Beno promised that the walk would be laid, even If he had to pay for It out of his own pocket. It was stated that the ground at th rear of the first .station would probably be used to accommodate the government exhibit. The depletion of the streets and alleys fund was responsible for a somewhat heated tilt between Mayor Maloney and the members of the finance. ( committee. Bills for the streets and alleys department aggregating $1,07Q.T5 had not received the O K of the committee. At the suggestion, the committee claimed, of the city auditor, pending some arrangement to provide funds for the maintenance of this department for the remainder, of the flBcal year. The mayor resented the refusal of the commit tee no "O K" the bills, which, however, it developed had been paid. He contended that upwards of 4,000 had been spent out of the receipts of the streets and alleys appropriation for cleaning and repairing the streets after the Indian creek overflow last July, whereas, by right th expense should hav been paid out of th emergency or the sewer fund. Both Councilmen Morgan and Olson de nied any Intention on the part of the com mittee to repudiate the bills, but Insisted they acted on the advlc of the city audi tor. City Auditor McAneney took exception to the committee trying to throw the blame on his shoulders, and after Councilman Olson had assured th mayor "there was no politics In It" th matter of providing funds for carrying on the street work for the remainder of th year was referred to the committee of the whole. Bids for furnishing th city with coal wer received from the Fenlon-Wlrkham Coal company and the Drog Elevator company. They wer referred to the city clerk fur tabulation. The city council sine the last previous meeting decided that It had not the money available at this time to Install a heating plant in the new fir station, and stoves will be used this winter. The committee on bridges and city property was author ised to purchase the necessary equipment for th new station. The contract for filling several lots now below grade which hav been declared a nulsanoe and menace to the public health, was awarded to E. A. Wlckham on his bid ot 42H cents per cubic yard.

Dob' bins, alleged "steerer" for th J. C. Ma bray gang of "big store" swindlers, which had been assigned for October 4, was sus tained yesterday by Judge Woodruff of the district court. After considerable sparring between counsel for the defendant and At torney General Byers, who appeared In person to resist the continuance, and County Attorney Hess, the court fixed No vember 15 as the date for Dobbins' trial. In continuing the case until th next term of court Judge Woodruff gave counsel for the defendant to understand that no fur ther postponement would be granted. Judge W. R. Green will preside at the November term of the district court, which opens Tuesday, November 2. Dobbins Is alleged to have acted as "steerer" In the case of T. W. Ballew, a broker of Princeton, Mo., who was buncoed out of $.10,000 by the Mabray gang. Two Indictments were returned against him last February In the district court, on on th charge of larceny and the other on th charge of conspiracy. Dobbins was in cluded in the blanket indictment returned by . the recent federal grand Jury in this city. Ed Leech of Montrose, Ia., alleged mem ber of the Mabray gang, against whom four indictments were returned September 18 In the district court, has furnished a bond in the sum of $12,000. Th bond was certified In Lee county and then forwarded here to be approved. Leech was Indicted Jointly with T. B. Robinson of Farmlngton, Ia., and others whose names hav not yet been made public. He ia alleged to have been Implicated in the fleecing ot F. R. Marts, proprietor of a general store at Polk City, Ia., who went up against the fake wrestling stunt twice within two weeks in June, 1907, In Council Bluffs. Two of th Indictments charge larceny, while the other two charge conspiracy. Leech's bond under each of the four Indictments was originally placed at $5,000, but Judge Woodruff, as In the case of T. S. Robin son, reduced it to $3,000, making an aggre gat of $12,000 under the four counts. Leech was recently arrested by the fed eral authorities, having been included In the blanket Indictment returned In the United States court. Vnder the federal Indictment he was required to furnish bond in the sum of $3,000. INDOOR few days.

A number of witnesses were examined for the de fense and aiT" told of threats Francis Is said to have made against Pride. A strong witness for the defense was Alexander Simons, a colored barber In Omaha, who gave Francis his last hair cut before he was shot by Pride. On th morning of th shooting Francis had Just had his hair cut when Pride entered the shop. After conversing for a few moments Francis commenced to abuse Pride, 1 ap plying vll epithets to him. Pride, the witness said, attempted to appease Fran- telling him that tbere was evidently some misunderstanding and (hat he, Pride, would explain matters. Francis refused to listen to Pride and on leaving the shop exclaimed, "Yau may be a big nigger, but I can whittle you down to my size and it don't matter where I spend eternity." The testImony.-of Prlde's'wlfe practically coroborated that of her husband and was to the effect that Pride shot Francis In self defense after Francis had attacked him with a raxor. - In buying your wall paper of us you can always be certain of getting the best.
