The or dlnaace was equipped with soma sharp teeth In the form of penalty clauses that mentioned fine and Imprisonment for re fuaal or failure to obey the new ordinance. Manager J.

Judge Katon for the Bur lington and William Ellis, general com merce counsel for the Great Western, rep resented the Great Western railroad. Through a misunderstanding the Iowa commissioners were not represented by counsel, .and In response to Inquiries by Judge McPherson It was discovered that he notification sent to Attorney General Byers was not delivered In time for him to reach Council Bluffs and attend the hearing. Order t.leaa This Month. On December S of the present month. the Iowa railroad commissioners promul gated a new rate affecting the shipments of Iowa coal to all points within the state, making a material reduction. Tbe rail road traffic managers objected to this rate on the grounds that It was not only too low to permit a' reasonable profit on tha Iowa coal business, but It was In con flict with the Interstate commerce law for the reason that It would compel a read justment of the rates on coal shipped Into Iowa from Illinois and other states ad joining It except In cities located at the border touching tha states where the ship ments originated. Each railroad presented a big petition representing its contentions, but when Judge McPherson was Informed that all were identical he told the attorneys that It was needless for them each to argue the matter; that hs would hear any of them to a reasonable length, but would prefer to take the petitions and consider the state ments therein set forth. This was agreed to after Mr. Wright had made whatever explanatory statements deemed necessary. Judge McPherson placed the bulky docu ments In his capacious overcoat pockets, saying; that hs would read one of them on his way to his horns at Red Oak last evetiCug and reach a decision early enough this morning to permit his opinion to reach Dea Molnea In tints to be effective if lie decided that ft restraining order was deelr able. C In I as Operator Otaeae. Ona statamant made by tha attorneys for tha railroads oaused an exclamation of surprise from Judge McPherson. It said that W par cent of tha Iowa coal mine operators were opposed to tha rate reduo tlon ordered by the commissioners, and that tha remaining a par oent were cot enthusiastically In favor of tha reduction, Judge MoFharson said that he could not understand this phase of the case and regretted vary much that the railway commissioners) wars not present by oounael to explain this, 0 that tha mine owners who should ba pleased with a rata that would St their product to the oustomers at lass ooat, had 'not oome forward with explanation of their hostility to the ra- duotloa. The arguments following this, although sttt La titu dad In any saoaauro as an answer, declared that the roducod rata would plao the ooat oarrlng business in many parts of Xowa oa a basis of actual loas to tha railroads, axl that tha rates wwra aarea sunabia booawan they were confuaparary. It Ml jMsUfMt that If any order at all was Issued It wouU be temporary and an earty at tart for the heart na; and the evtdwawo to be aubmlttvd by tha raitroad Moonev. who continued their Journey farthur soith. without leaving assurances that PI. Joseph was to get the next expo sition, or fixing definitely upon the fact thnt it was not to be held again In Coun cil niuffs. The Council Bluffs men went fully into the details of the big enterprise and clear ly showed the St. Joseph men that tha lo cation of tho exposition meant heavy re sponsibility, financially. mentally and physically, it proved to be a larger propo sition than was anticipated and the St. Joseph representatives asked for reason able time to consider It. The Council niuffs men had a most pleas- oorsements. ' t . V. ... ant visit. They were dined by their hosts and then taken In automobiles about the city. Th Auditorium building, where the exposition1 would be held If located In the city, was inspected. It Is a handsome build ing that cost more than ,r. and fully rapsble of taking care nf the national fruit show. It Is not as wide, however, as the Council niuffs auditorium, but la longer, and Is provided with a big basement story with cemented floors that could be used ir a large part of the exhibition, especially the machinery and spraying demonstra The St. Joseph people manifested a keen desire to secure the exposition, but could not fix any definite time when their re ply might be expected. A reasonable time will be granted, and If the acceptance of the proposition with tha conditions Imposed Is not forthcoming the claims of other cities will be considered and given the preference. Reveral members of the Council Bluffs delegation went to St. Joseph with distinct aversion to the plans for changing the lo cation, and they returned more than ever convinced that the exposition should not leave here. A sentiment Is growing that would require Blight encouragement to become dominant In favor of making an effort to enlist Omaha In ths 1911 exposition on some propo sition that would be mutually helpful to both cities. This sentiment contemplates the location of the exposition In Omaha. It Is believed that If the two cities were to enter In a patriotic effort the original plan of the founders of the congress to keep Its headquarters and Its expositions here per manently can be fully realized.

For some time past and at j least during all the time since the railway companies of the country combined to raise freight rates they have been organising all of their employes and urging them by public addresses and otherwise asking the Increasing of freight rates. Is it rea sonable to suppose that Mr. Elliott has not been in harmony with this action?
