City Will Wait
Outcome of Suit
'
No Disposition to Sell Water Bonds
Until Courts Have Passed on
Their Legality. ' ,
Although Judge Smith Mcpherson decided
th suit brought In the federal court by
tha C. B. Nash company to restrain the
city from Issuing the proposed u0O,0O0
water works bonds In favor ot the city, and
dissolved the Injunction secured by the
plaintiff company. It' Is not expected that
any effort will be made by th municipal
authorities to sell the bonds until the litiga
tion Is finally determined. Tha fact that
the C. B. Nash company Intends to appeal
from Judge McPherson'a ruling act as an
estoppel to the sale of the bonds, as the
city official realize that as long aa the
question of the validity of the issue Is not
definitely determined it. Is doubtful If the
bonds could be disposed of at any price.
City Treasurer True I opposed to trying
to sell the bonds in face of an appeal and
la of the opinion that It would be prac
tically Impossible to find a buyer for them
so long as there la a suit pending against
th) latoue. "The Nash company still ha
the right to appeal lta case, and so long
aa there Is a possibility., of this ! do not
think It wise to lasue the bonds. It will
take only' a short time to dispose of the
securities when they are . once ready for
sale and 1 do not see the 'advantage of
offering them before the whole matter Is
settled.' At the best, buyer of bonds would
agiee to handle the Issue only under the
condition that the decision of the circuit
ccurt was sustained by the ' court yf ar
peals," Mr. True said.
Mr. True i also of the opinion that the
bonds, once their validity is determined,
could be sold at 4 or at the 'most 4Si per
cent, and that thu city council should,
rescind its action in deciding that the bonds
should bear S per cent Interest.
The matter will probably come up In some
form at the meeting of the city council to
night, as City Solicitor Kimball is expected
to make a report ot the final signing of the
decree in favor of the city last Friday by
Judge McPherson.
FIRE FROM OVERHEATED STOVE
Cottage of Peter Donahue Damaged
Fire 1b Saloon. '. '
The rear part of a one-story frame cot
tage on Avenue D, near the coiner of
Eighth street, owned by Filter Donahue
and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Green
lee was seriously damaged by fire at a
late hour Saturday night. The blase, which
waa caused by an overheated stove In the
house, started during the absence of Green
lee and his wife who were attending a
dance but a block away. They did not
learn of the fire until after' the depart
ment had extinguished It.
When they left home the Greenlee
neglected to close the druughts on the
stove and It became so hot that It set fire
to the wall ot the kitchen. The fire had
mado considerable headway before it was
discovered and by the - time the firemen
reached the place the whole back part of
the cottage was In flames. The firemen
experienced some delay In getting wattr on
the building as two of the nearby hy
drants were found to be out of commission
by reason of the "stuffing boxes" being
frozen. The damage waa said to be cov
eted by Insurance.
Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morning
the suloon at the corner of South Main
and Story streeta conducted- by John Mc
Furlan was on fire. Gasoline leaking from
the lighting plant had caught and a serious
bluze would probably have resulted had It
not been discovered shortly after It atar.ed.
The firemen used the hand chemical and
except for the scorching of th bar front
and a small hole burned In th floor, the
place ias not damaged.
Fire, said to have been caused by an
overheated stove, destroyed the Rock Is
land railroad yard office at Thirteenth ave
nue and Eighth alreet about 11:30 o'clock last
night. The building, a small frame struc
lure, burned like tinder, and by the time
the fire department reached the place It
was a mass of flames.

Committee
Issues Note
Congressional Organization Says In
surgents Need Not Look to
" BegTilars for Aid.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Those who ara
opposed to the republican doctrine and
policies as Interpreted by the preent ad
ministration ran expect no support from
the regular wing of the republican party.
Such a warning, to the Insurgenta was
ent out to the country today In a state
ment by the republican congressional cam
paign committee. The statement Is Issued,
it was explained, to meet the allegation
that the committee Is attempting to pre-
vent, the fenomlnatlon of those Insurgents
who have antagonized the organisation ot
the house of representatives.
The Inference Is that the statement has
the Indorsement of President Taft. It la
said, to have been written after -a confer
ence ot the Uadlng members of the com
mittee at the White House and that the
sentiments expressed In the statement are
those of the administration exactly.
While the circular admits It Is beyond
the privilege of the committee to take part
In the contest for nominations, It hold
that It has' the right to criticise and con
demn those who oppose the Taft adminis
tration and the acta of tha republican
party.
Boston Finishes
Lively Campaign
First Nonpartisan Campaign Ends
here After' Sharp Contest Not
Entirely Devoid of Politics.
BOSTON, Jan. 10. When voting Boston
goes to the polls Tuesday, "finis" will be
written to the greatest and most spectac
ular municipal campaign that this city has
known for ymr The election marks a de
parture for Boston, and it Is to be held un
der the new cl.ari?r, which was framed
with a view of making elections nonparti
san. The candidates are named by petition
and the ballots will bear no party designa
tions, merely the candidates' name and
home addresses.
Aa a result ther has been unusual In
terest, and monster rallies at which al
most unexampled enthusiasm has been dis
played, have followed one another In rapid
succession. One ot the candidates, James
J. Storrow, who resigned from the presi
dency of the Chamber of Commerce to en
ter the campaign. Is a man of wealth, and
the standard-bearer for the so-called "up
lift" force. Another, ex-Mayor John F.
Fitzgerald, nicknamed the "Little Gen
eral," has been on the defensive practically
all the time. Ho tias pleaded for re-election
to free himself of the stigma which at
tached Itself to his administration through
exposure of graft among some of the sub
ordinates In the city haH.
The Dresent mayor. Ofcores A. Hlhbard
has made a strong appeal for re-election
on party lines, despite the evident intention
of the new charter- to eliminate party poll
tics from municipal government. Nathaniel
H. Taylor, the fourth candidate, has been
much quieter than any ot the other.
An unusual feature of the campaign has
peen, the charge. that local traction Inter
ests haws, been, Babbling In politic to the
extent of supporting one candidate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. That the coBt

products which we raise at home, but has
been accompanied by a comparatively Im
partial advance in those necessities which
are Imported, Is shown by the latest re
ports 'of the bureau of statistics of the Bu
reau of Commerce and Labor.
Manufactures, manufacturers' materials
and foodstuffs form most of the Imports
and In a large proportion of those articles
the latest Import figures show that the
prices paid for them in foreign markets
are materially higher than those of a few

for This Restriction.
DENVER, Colo., Jan. 10. Denver wa

of the efforts ot the saloon men to counter
act the widespread movement to vote abso
lute prohibition for Denver at the next eleo-
