MONEY TO LOAN Private Money to Loan on City Property. r. J. SCIINORR, 518 Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Council Bluffs L BIG FIRE 1I1REATENS BLOCK Store on West Broadway Owned by Boston Man Burns. LOSS ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND lladlrsnn'a Photograph Ciallerr, the Dm. Tmiinlil), Xew York rlemb InK Company Anion; thief losers. Fire starting shortly before 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon In an old frame barn In the alley nt the rear of the Everett block, occupied by the Niw York Plumbing com pany, for a while threatened the entlro block on the south sido of Broadway be tween Pearl and Sixth streets. As It was, a rough estimate last evening of the dam sue done placed the loss at between $20,000 und $S.".0o0. The principal riAmagc was to the two- tory basement brick building at 531 West Broadway, owned by W. L. Whitney of Huston, Mass., the first floor of which was occupied by Alves Hudleson's photograph gallery, while DrB. Twombly ifk Twombly ml a club of high school boys occupied rooms on the second rioor; tne two-siory frame store, building adjoining on the west. Iso owned by Mr. Whitney and occupied by P. J. Lewis, a grocer; the one-story a me buildings between the Everett block ml the Whitney building, owned oy oirs. Austin iJarraugh, formerly of this city, ow a resident of Omaha and occupied by Stephati Bros., plumbers, and Charles Hood's barber shop. R. 11. Wallace of the real estate firm of N. P. Dodge & Co., agents for W. L. W hlt- ey, dated that the brick building, for- nerly known as the Globe building, and the two-story frame structure on the wowt were insured for $H,000. Mr, Wallaco esti mated the damage to the two buildings would probably be covered by the insur ance. The frame building occupied by P. J Lewis was completely destroyed, as were most of the contents. Kome Insurance Carried. A. Hudleson, proprietor of the photograph gallery, carried $1,000 insurance and his loss will probably exceed this. P. J. Lewis, who on the first of the month took over the grocery store of O. Ewall at 533 West Broadway, carried $1,000 insurance on his stock, $r00 on the fixtures and $160 on his household goods. He and his wife occupied the living apartments above the store. He placed his loss on his stock and fixtures at something over $2,000 and about $1,000 on his household goods and personal belong' Ings. At the outset of the fire the fixtures and equipment of C. Hood's barber shop were carried out and the damage will be comparatively small. Mr. Hood carried $500 Insurance. Mrs. Darraugh Is her own business agent and It was not learned what Insurance she carried on the two small frame buildings occupied by the barber shop- and Stephan Bros. Walter Stephan of the Stephan Bros. plumbing firm said they carried $2,600 In surance on their stock. He estimated they had $10,000 stock and that the damage would amount to about $6,000, the loss being prin cipally on high class chandeliers and other brass goods. The New Tork Plumbing company's loss was estimated by E. W, Hart, manager, at about $1,000. The company had one horse Incinerated In the barn and lost two wagons and a considerable quantity of supplies. . Spectacular Blase. The three-story brick building adjoining the Lewis grocery store on ths west, owned by the Dubuque Realty company, a holding concern for the Dubuque Brewing company was slightly damaged at the rear and the Interior was slightly damaged by water. The building which Is unoccupied was said to be fully Insured. The barn back of the Dubuque company's building, owned by the same concern and occupied by the Cltlsens Electric and Qas company was' entirely destroyed as was a third barn occupied by the City Water Works company. The Electric Light com pany's loss was confined to about $50 worth of feed and hay. The fire which was the most spectacular the city has witnessed since the burning of the David Bradley & Co.'s agricultural Implement warehouse on South Main street, Is believed to have started from burning rubbish thrown Into the alley near the old frame barn occupied by the New Tork Plumbing company. The strong wind which was blowing from the south blew some of the burning rubbish against the barn and started the blase which for a tli.ne threatened to clean out the block. The rear of the Everett block on Pearl street was badly scorched and a number of windows were broken by ths Intense heat. Charles Uatheson and John Oliver, two firemen were severely burned about the bands and face. They were caught be tweeq two walls of flams while carrying a line of hose between the biasing barns. After receiving temporary attention thoy were able to return to their posts. Firemen Work Against Odds. j ne smoKe irom tne Burning barns was dense and was carried by the wind In thick volumes over the burning buildings onto Broadway, at times enveloping the firemen so that they were unable to see a foot ahead of them. Burning embers were carried several blocks by the heavy wind and fell fast and thick on the Immense crowd which lined Broadway In the vicinity of the blaze. El M. Bar gun t of the Board of Fire and Po llco commissioners worked as hard as any member of the fire department, hauling hose up ladders and on the top of ths burn lug buildings. He was, however, but one of a numb.' oX citizens who leut valuable aid to the fire department. Some of the Insurance agents last night expressed the opinion that the total damag would not exceed $10,000 to $15,000, which, they said, was remarkable under ths clr cumstauces. Last night R. B. M'allace stated that the insurance on the Whitney properly was only $4,500 and it probably would cover the loss. There was, he. said, $3,600 on ths old Globe building and $1,000 on the grocery store. Photographer Hudleson suffered the loss of his entire stock of negatives and thl; he naturally considers bis greatest loss. lie succeeded In getting his two large cameras out of the building and last even Ing figured that the $1,000 he carried would about cover his actual loss. Yesterday was a record breaker for fires Cp to 8 o'clock last night the department responded to eight alarms, three of them during the course of the blase on Broad way. Iterord Breaker for Fires. At 8 o'clock last night fire of unknown origin started In the bam at the rear of ths Lie Vol Hardware company's store, 604 West Broadway and 10 North Main street Five boxes of blasting powdur stored In the barn exploded at the outset of the blase and for a while it looked as If another costly con fkngratlon ou ensue. The firemen, how, ever, were quickly on the scene and. de spite the dense smoks and Inky blackness ot the blind alley In which the baru was located, succeeded In preventing the flames Council Bluffs from spreading to the adjoining buildings. The printing establishment of the More house company on North Main street and the undertaking establishment of Baird A Poland were for a time In Imminent danger. The contents of the Balrd A Boland estab lishment were hastily removed to the street and the coffins and costly caskets were piled high upon the sidewalk. Two wagons, several sets of hsrness and a quantity of feed were destroyed In the Ie Vol barn. A horse was rescued, al though the animal was somewhat severely corched. W. R. De Vol stated that the loss was fully covered by Insurance. Nansereaa Small Biases. While the firemen were battling with the blase on Broadway at 4:30 o'clock an alarm turned In from Oakland avenue and the chemical engine was dispatched to the scene of the fire, which was In the rear of the residence of Walter Hough at 211 Lafayette avenue, opposite Fairvlew ceme tery. James Shaveley and Frank uuni, employes of the City Water Works com pany, who were working in the vicinity, formed themselves Into a volunteer fire department, organised a bucket brigade and, with the assistance of garden hose, succeeded In getting the blase, which was confined to the kitchen, under control by the time the chemical engine reached the place. A defective flue Is believed to have ben responsible for the blase at the Hough residence. Shortly before 5 o'clock some of the fire men had to be sent to Clark and Fifth venues, where burning grass was threat- nlng residences in thst neighborhood. The first fire yesterday was in the morn- ng, when the department was called to the residence of John McSorley at 809 South Ninth street, where a barn filled with hay was ablase. The fire was ex tinguished with but nominal loss. Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday the department was given a run to the coal aid of the Wait Smith Fuel company at 1401 South Sixth street, where ths sheds were on fire. This blase was also extin guished with but nominal loss. At 2:50 o'clock in the afternoon a still alarm took No. 1 fire company to the warehouse building on Main street occupied In part by the M. E. Smith company of Omaha as an overall factory. A spark from a locomotive Is believed to have started a blaze In a heap of rublsh and the flames communicated to the platform at the rear of the building. The blase had made considerable headway when the firemen reached the scene. A still alarm In the morning gave No. fire company on West Broadway a run to the southwestern part of the city, where burning grass was threatening dam age to nearby cottages. Richmond Case Again Taken Up Attorney General Questions Chief of Police Closely About His Duties. There was a lack of sensational features In the hearing of the removal proceedings against Major George H. Richmond, chief of police, which was resumed yesterday morning before Judge E. B. Woodruff In the district court. The direct examination of Major Rich mond was devoted almost entirely to routine matters In connection with the office of chief of police and occupied but a short time. Attorney General Bysrs on starting his croes-axamluatlon of ths chief occupied considerable time reading the rules and regulations of the police department, city ordinances and the laws relating to gam bllng, houses of 111 fame and other things complained of. The cross-examination brought out the fact that Major Richmond had practically followed ths same policy as his predecessors In office and which had been In vogue in Council Bluffs for nearly forty years in dealing with the conditions complained of by the attorney general and his coterie of reformers." The attorney general attempted to make capital out of a visit paid by Chief Rich mond to Benjamin Marks while the latter was lying critically 111 at the Edrr.undson hospital. The attorney general tried to show that at this visit Marks discussed the gambling situation with the accused officer. This, however, was denied by Major Richmond. Major Richmond was still on the stand when court adjourned for the day and Indi cations are that the hearing will last over Into next week. SIDEWALK ORDINANCES TABLED Committee of Whole Tired of Farther Discission. At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the elty council In committee of the wholti It was decided to lay all amendments, pe tllions and communications relating to the ordinance regulating the use of the public sidewalks for the display and sale of mer chandise on the table. If the city council at Its next meeting concurs In the recom mendation of the committee of the whole, the ordinance as It now Is will stand. The present ordinance permits a merchant to use a space not exoeedlng eighteen Inches in width In front of his front windows for tho display of, but not for the sale of merchandise. The use of any portion of the sidewalk at the side of a building Is prohibited. The committee discussed the bids of the Weekly Times and the Nonpareil company for the publication of olty official notices but fulled to reach any decision. 'Hie mat' ter was finally referred to the committee on claims and printing to report back at the next meeting of the counoll. Partners Are at Oate. Fred Haenen and John F. Johnson, pro prietors of the Haenen Artificial Limb company of this city, are at outs and the trouble existing between the two partners culminated yesterday In Haenen filing an Information In the court of Justloe Cooper charging his partner, Johnson, and young woman named Effle Painter wits. living together ss man and wife without going through a legal marriage ceremony, The young woman on being taken Into cus today by Constable Maltby declared to the oourt that she and Johnson had been law fully wedded In Omaha a week or more ago and that she had a marriage certsfl cats to substantiate her assertion. She was released on a bond in the sum of $100 and slated she would produce her mar riage certificate In court, to the dlsoonv flture of Haenen. Johnson had not been located by the constable last evening. The trouble between Haenen and John son resulted recently In Haen bringing suit In the district court for the winding up of the partnership. Look In the show window of the P.

CLAY GOES AFTER WHOLE BILL Says t'rnvrford Amendment Operate Aanlnat the Antl-Trnst I,tw Union Pacific Hoad Was a Present. WASHINGTON. April 29.-When the sen ate adjourned last night there was a gen eral understanding that a vote would be reached today on the traffic agreement pro vision of the railroad bill. So far as was known, Mr. Cummins was the only sena tor who would desire to speak further on the subject. Tho first vote will be on the Cummins substitute, requiring approval of the rates embraced in agreements in ad vance of their taking effect. With this provision defeated, as probubly It will be, the ballot then will recur on the Klkins- Crawford amendment, which has been ac cepted as the committee provision. The supporters of the administration are claim ing a majority of Beven or eight votes In favor of this section. The debate yesterday continued to be of an animated character. It was participated In by Messrs. Cummins, Root, Aldrich, Borah, Bailey, Heyburn and others. Sena tor Clay delivered a set speech In oppo sition to the bill and Senator Bristow closed his address In condemnation of the present rate-making system. Senator Bristow resumed his speech as soon as the bill was taken up today. He entered upon a discussion of the rates on sugar, with the evident intention of demon strating that by charging more for short than for long hauls the railroads were discriminating unfairly against many com munities. Canadian Competition. In explanation of the cause for the low transcontinental rates, Mr. Elklns in stanced the competition of the Canadian roads. "That's a reflection on the American roads," promptly responded the Kansas senator, who asserted that there would be no good reason why the foreign roads could operate more cheaply than the Amer ican roads. When Mr. Elklns called at tention to the connection of the Canadian government with the Canadian roads, Mr. Bristow declared the American govern ment had built the Union Pacific railroad and presented It to its owners. Mr. Smoot came to tho assistance of Mr. Bristow in contending for the adoption of the long and Bhort haul amendment, where upon Mr. Elkins charged that the effect would be to raise, rather than decrease local and non-competitive rates. The Utah and Kansas senators said their states were willing to take their chances on that. At the conclusion of Mr. Brlstow's speech. Senator Clay took the floor in his own right. He spoke In opposition to the entire railroad bill and the provisions authorizing traffic agreements between railroads and operating combinations, contending that the Crawford-Elkins traffic agreement pro vision would have the effect of nullifying the anti-trust law In Its application to rail roads, Mr. Clay referred to the prosecution of President Gompers and other officers of the American Federation of Labor and asked : "It the labor organizations are bound by the anti-trust law why should the rail road magnates be exempt from It? Who can stand before the people and say that the statute shall apply to the farmer, the laborer and the labor organisations and not the railway systems T" Effect on Trnst Law. Senator Borah then exemplified his pre vious argument to show that the Crawford-Elkins provision has the effect of re pealing the anti-trust law. He was fol lowed by Mr. Crawford, who contended that the Interstate Commerce commission could be trusted to promote the public welfare. Out of his contention grew a general de bate. In addition to Mr. Crawford the dis cussion was participated in by Messrs. Cummins, Aldrich, Jtoot, Bailey and Hey burn. Messrs. Aldrich and Balioy engaged in a prolonged controversy during which the Rhode Island senator asked the Texas senator whether an agreement be tween two roads at the present time would not be lawful. Mr. Bailey agreed providing the agreement was not In restraint of trade. Mr. Aldrich contended that this concession oovered the whole case and urging that there was no great difference among senators, said: The trouble is that the senator from Iowa (Mr. Cummins) Is not willing to let any other person write the provision unless the writer uses his language." The regular republicans ran nip and tuck with the "Insurgents" republicans and the democrats In sustaining their organization when the voting on amendments to the rail road bill began in the house today. Only by a tie vote of 121 to 121 did the regulars prevent the striking from their bill of the provision which placed on the attorney general the responsibility for the defense of suits brought to set aside de cisions of the Interstate Commerce commis sion, Instead of allowing that duty to be performed by the commission Itself as under the present law. The motion to strike out this committee provision had been made by Mr. Hubbard of Iowa, one of the staunoh insurgents, and thirteen other Insurgents voted to sustain his amendment. The democrats, however. failed to appear although all those who voted at all, were with the Insurgents. Of 171 democrats, only 107 voted. Disgusted with the absenteeism In his party, Mr. Adamson of Georgia, led the opposition to the bill. The same absenteeism on the part of the democrats continued when other votes to modify the provisions of the bill were taken. Although the regular republicans could gather only about 135 votes, and al though about fifteen "insurgent republi cans," struggled to obtain amendments, the democratic members fstled to appear on the floor. Democratic leaders upon making Inquiry learned that about forty democrats were out of the city, and twenty-five democrats In the city failed to respond to urgent calls to come to the house. Mr. Adamson of Georgia offered, and the house agreed to, an amendment excepting from the operation of the bill, business wholly within a state. In accepting this amendment Mr. Mann declared that the bill was not changed by Including U in the measure. After considerable debate the house adopted an amendment offered by Mr. Bartlntt of Georgia including telegraph and telephone companies within the scope of hu interstate commerce law. Mr. Mann objected to this provision because the sub ject was ons that should be taken care of in a separate bill. Dire a Visit to Brother. FORT DODGE, la., April 28. (Special Telegram.)

BRUSSELS, April 29. Former President Roosevelt met King Albert of Belgium yes terday anl they exchange i cordial greetings, later driving from the Brussels exposition to I.aaken palace and spending sn hour In the gardens. The Belgian people gave Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt and their chil dren a warm welcome on their arrival here from Parts at noon. After luncheon at the American embassy and a reception for the American colony, Coionel Roosevelt visited tho exposition and his appearance there was marked by a double demon stiation for himself and the king.
