the merger bills were made to tha gov
ernor thla afternoon when he gave a hear
ing to members of the house on the merger
bill which finally passed, Introduced by
Minor of Lancaster. There were several
of these merger bills listed, all of them
giving the regulation of telephone com
panies Into the bands of the State Railway
commission by defining them as common
carriers and providing for a physical con
nection ' between the exchanges of com
peting companies.
Tha Minor bill bad tha provision allowing
mergers between Bell and Independent
companies stricken out when the bill was
passed and sent to the senate, but the
senate put It back again and sent the bill
over for concurrence. The aentlment In
the house seemed to have been changed In
the meantime and the bill as amended
went through. Grossman of Douglas, Har
rington of Rock and others asserted to the
governor today that tha bill got through
as a result ot pernicious lobbying.
Kotouc of Richardson and other urged
the governor to sign the bill, giving aa
their reason the fact that telephone com
panies are naat naturally capable, of giv
ing good service when they are competing
in the same territory and that the rall
v ay commission should be trusted - sea
that mergers were made only fur the
gcd of consumers.
Telegrams have been arriving a. tiie

SEVENTY BODIES RECOVERED
(Continued From First 1'age.)
Miss Kuth Stewart, 20 years old, foster
daiiKhter of Attorney and Mrs. J. J. Stew
art of Council Bluffs, la., told the story of
the mysterious assault made upon her and
her kidnaping In Omaha on Ihe witness
stand In the hearing of C. W. Pangburn
and Lwrence Tarwood, accused of the
crime, before Justice J. K. Cooper yester
day afternoon In Council Bluffs .Friends
of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart and others made
Itlnecessary for the "justice to remove to
the south court room of the county court
house, and that large room was parked.
Miss Ruth was on the stand nearly all aft
ernoon and withstood the most searching
cross-examination that a corps of shrewd
attorneys could devise. Her atory was
never shaken In the least:" The hearing
waa not completed and was continued until
next Saturday afternoon.
Miss Stewart told of her visit to' Omaha
in company with her foster parents and
the arrangement with them for her to at
tend the matinee while Attorney Stewart
was having hla eyes treated at a hospital.
The matinee wai late In closing and It was
nearly I o"clock by. the time she reached
the corner of Douglas and Fourteenth
street to take the Council Bluffs car for
home. No car was In sight and she walked
slowly down to Thirteenth street and
waited a while longer.
Wo ma a Hee Captor.
Yielding to an Impulse to keep moving.
Miss Stewart walked past the Millard hotel
and north until she came to Dodge street.
She stood there a few moments and saw, a
taxlcab dash In ahead of a car going east
on Dodge street and cross the street In
the direction where she was standing. The
cab stopped suddenly at the curb In front
of her and a man and woman sprang out.
The person who appeared as a muscular
woman laid strong and heavy hands on
Mlsij Stewart's shoulders and the other
seized her around the waist and she was
lifted bodily from the ground and thrown
into the cab. The cab waa In motion be
for eshe could arise from the floor. She
waa seized by tha two captors, the one
appearing aa a woman stopping for an In
stant to kick off his skirts which had con
cealed hla men's clothes.
Miss Stewart screamed and struggled
desperately, when she waa struck a violent
blow in tha stomach by one of tha men and
several heavy blows about the face by the
other. While dazed by tha effect of the
blowa she saw one of them pour some
thing from a bottle upon a handkerchief,
A gag waa then forced la her mouth And
tha handkerchief bound tightly around her
face. The odor and suffocating effects of
chloroform were accurately described, flhe
lost consciousness and did not recover until
she found herself In darkness and felt the
cold night air on her face. She discovered,
that she waa lying on the river bank, so
near that she eould reach out and touch
the water with her hands.
Pram la dm Watery Grave).
In tha darkness Miss Stewart could
barely discern the outlines of a man stand
ing near by, whom she recognised as one
of her captors. Not far away was also the
taxloab, but it appeared to be without a
driver. A moment later another man came
out o fthe darkness and waa roundly
cursed by the other for being so tardy.
"t was Just going to threw you into the
river, d m you," the tall man said.
ants, butt he others were strangers. It
was only when she was able to wslk
around and start on the search that she
found the second man. Pangburn. She saw
him at his work as bartender in the Hans
Klaussen's saloon on West Broadway. The
absence of all screens permitted her to get
a good view of lilm through the window,
The place on the river Miss Stewart de
scribed so accurately that It was recog
nised and she was taken to It In a closed
taxlcab. It was In Council Bluffs, near
the end of North Thfrty-seventh street,
close to the river pumping station. If the
house has been Identified It has not been
disclosed, but It Is probably also In Coun
cil Bluffs.
Miss Stewart waa able to but dimly re
call the cutting of her hair. It was Just,
aa she was aroused on the river bank.
The hair had been cut, but with a pocket
knife and was badly haggled. The theory
of the prosecution is that murder was
contemplated by throwing her Into the
river and the purpose was to destroy
Identification.
The evidence against Yarwood Included
a broken marriage engagement and threats
made by tha young men. There Is also a
story that Miss Stewart had received a
sum of money from him, which he had
given her to keep until he could give It
to hla mother on the eve of her departure
on a visit to England and that she .fool
ishly wasted It.
The prosecution of the case Is in charge
Of County Attorney Capell and Assltant
County Attorney . Ware., and Tinley.
Mitchell and John IJndt represent the de
fense. Judge Thprnell, who happened to be In
the court room and heard part of Miss
Stewart's weird recital, remarked that It
was a strange story and difficult to be
lieve. Earl Saunders, arrested as the third mar.
In the case as the- driver of the taxlcab,
waa discharged on motion of County At
torney Capell.

BOON E, la.. April 8. (Special.) A violin
ha Just been completed by Mayor Crank
of Madrid which Is of more than ordinary
Interest. The wood contained in the In
strument was taken from the stump end
of the "Uncoln flagpole." which waa dug
up from the ground by the mayor several
inwnths ago. A portion of the stump was
made into small blocks and handed to a
number of tha people of the community
w ho were Interested In relics to be retained
aa souvenirs, but a portion of the wobd re
mained and Mr. Crank conceived the idea
of fashioning it Into a violin. Mr. Crank
states that the instrument Is a good one,
possessing fine tone, and Its design Is a
handsome one. The history of the pole of
which the violin Is a part Is familiar to
older settlers. Tha pole was erected during
the civil war and the stump has remained
in the ground until removed by Mayor
Crank. It waa located on the south side of
the cut near the Water street bridge.
