served.
Alderman Mlnnlck and Mayor Maloney,
1 lie two members of the city government
who constantly find something to do In
tho way of discharging the obligations of
tl.eir office, have a force of skilled men at
work reining the brick paving thrcuuhout
the city where It has settled and made de-
firessicnr In the surface of tiid streets. This
s the first time In the Malory that audi
woik has been attempted, and It Is att
mated that the three men who are engaged
In the work, at a cost of about $8 a day, are
raving more than $100 a day to the taxpay
ers and property owners who have paid
for the pavements. Heretofore such re
pairs were esteemed to be unnecessary or
else nobody's business, and were taken as
a natural result of the wearing of the
pavement. The work already done has
demonstrated that the duration of the pave
ment will be lengthened several years.
A suit for 110.000 damages was yesterday
Instituted In the district court by Elizabeth
Beckley, wife of M. Beckley, a farmer liv
ing six miles east of the city as the re
sult of an automobile accident The de
fendant Is F, A. Spencer, plumber and
furnace dealer, at 837 Broadway. Tha ac
cident occured Thursday night, July 27, just
east of the city, when Mra. Beckley and
her daughter, Marie, were pinioned un
derneath their buggy when their horse was
frelghtened by an automombtle driven by
Mr. Spencer, which approached from the
rear and frelghtened the horse while at
tempting to pass. The tact that the ma
chine was without lights makes the accl
- dent actionable. Mr. Spencer was in tha
country and was returning without means
of lighting the lamps on the machine. Tha
auto la ona of the oldest in the city, two
cylinders without a muffler, and makes as
much noise as a freight train.
The first attempt to utilise the discarded
paving blocks taken from Broadway will
be made by Charles E. Kimball, owner of
the Ogden house, who will use them In the
construction of a modern three-floored flat
In the rear of the hotel with a frontage
on Park avenue and West Pierce street.
The flats are to be quipped for use exclu
sively for light housekeeping and are to
tt modeled somewhat after the famous
Harlem flats In New York City. It is be
lieved the granite blocks will make beau
tiful walls, and If laid In good cement
should defy the assaults of time lor a
thousand years. After twenty-seven years
of wear as paving material the surface ex
posed only shows a slight smoothing, with
no appreciable erosion. It is pink porphyry,
the hardest kind of building stone in the
world. The plans for the flats Were
drawn by Mr. Kimball's daughter. Miss
Lucy, and It is said ahe has evolved some
very novel Ideas in the economy of space
and the sudden transformations of living
appartments into reception rooms. Mr.
Kimball expects to begin work immedi
ately. Alderman Mlnnlck Is watching the prog
reaa of the Broadway paving with more
than usual interest. A few days ago when
some of his friends were complaining about
the work going forward slowly he offered
to bet both sides of the street would be
finished as far as Main street by tonight.
Yesterday afternoon the pavera entered the
widest part or the territory to be repavea,
the Intersection of Fourth street, where
Broadway la more than 200 foet wide. Al
derman Mlnnlck stood watching the tolling
ravers placing the long rows of bricks
and the work seemed to progress so slowly
that he had excellent reason to fear losing
Ms wager. Then he told hla troubles to
Contractor Wlckham. No one is capable
of better appreciating the work that Al
derman Mlnnlck is doing on the streets
as head of the streets and alleys commit
tee than is Contractor Wlckham, and he
Immediately decided that the alderman
confidence should not be shaken. He gave
Instructions to rush the paving and get
down to Main street before quitting time
tonight if it required all of the pavers in
' the three cities. The tarring gang are away
behind the pavers, but their work doesn't
count In Mlnnlck a bet.

Council Bluffs
BUFFALO WANTS FRUIT SHOW
Sends Application to Have Big Meet
ing Held in East.
PROMISES TO GIVE GOOD BACKING
Officers Proceeding Here on Theory
Exposition Will Be Held 1st
This City Again This
Fall.
The 1911 exposition of the National Horti
cultural congress may be held at Buffalo,
N. Y. Three of the chief commercial and
municipal organisations of the city are
anxious to bring' about conditions that will
permit the location to be changed from
Council Bluffs to the western New York
town.
President Keellne of the National Horti
cultural congress yesterday morning re
ceived a letter from the secretary of the
convention committee of Buffalo asking
If the officer and director of the congress
would consider a proposition to have the
national exposition held there thla fall. The
letter states that Buffalo will take hold
of the matter with enthusiasm and bring
forward whatever capital and other force
necessary to make it a big success. The
application Is endorsed by the Buffalo
Commercial club and the Chamber of Com
merce.
President Keellne will lay the matter be
fore the executive committee of the con
gress at once and give an early and un
doubtedly favorable reply. President Kee
llne, Vice President Hess and E. H. Doo
llttle. chairman of the executive committee,
have expressed themselves as favorable
to the change and will do all they can to
bring it about. All of these gentlemen,
however, would have preferred to have
seen the next exposition held at St. Joseph,
but the St. Joseph people have had very
lev feet.
Officers Going Ahead.
The executive officer have gone ahead
with the usual preparation to hold the
exposition here thla fall, while fully real
ising the difficulty of financing It. Early
In the season St. Joseph waa quite anxious
to undertake the task, but when the men
who had been declared ready to finance It
began to Inquire Into the extent of the ob
ligation it appeared to Involve a task
larger than they were willing to undetake.
Buffalo Is peculiarly well qualified to as
sume the task. It is an exposition city,
with organization capable of carrying for
ward big enterprises. It Is located In the
very heart of the apple district of the east.
From Buffalo to Niagara, twenty-five miles
there Is a continuous apple orchard. Hor
ticulture has received a great stimulus In
the New England states within the last two
or three years, and this year the product
of the orchard of a doxen states on the
Atlantlo seaboard may be used In exem
plifying some Important and valuable les
sons, especially In relation to reviving old
orchards. Prof. C. P. Close, head of the
horticultural department of the Maryland
agricultural college, and one of the great
est horticultural experts of this country,
second vice president of the congress
and one of It most ardent supporters, and
has spent weeks and month of hi valu
able time promoting the interest of the
congress and Its expositions. Prof Craig
of Cornell university la another active
worker In the organization and ha come
here and, worked at all the expositions. All
of the unit In the splendid organization
of the congress would work as enthus
iastically If the exposition waa held at
Buffalo as they have her, aiding the Buf
falo organization to make the exposition
fully successful.

Women End Work of
Their Convention
Temperance Worker Conclude Ses
sion of Sixth District with Plea
for Woman Suffrage.
The saloon would put the church out of
existence If It could; the church could put
the saloon out of existence If it would; the
women will." was the dictum of speaker
and delegates In all of the sessions yester
day of the annual convention of the Sixth
district of the Iowa Woman's Christian
Temperance union. The convention closed
last night. The suffragette sentiment was
distinctly uppermost in all of the discus
sions and addresses. .
"The Woman's Christian Temperance
union of Iowa has no further work to do in
the line of working up sentiment against
the liquor traffic." declared Mrs. Ida B.
Wise of Dee Moines, state corespondlng
aecretary. "It's ballots that count.
There was no line 'of action marked out,
no resolutions adopted declaring for wo
man's suffrage, but there waa the expres
sion of a united purpose to bring It about.
And the women looked very capable and
fit to do anything they attempted. .
Mrs. Ida Rider of Council Bluff gave an
address on the subjeot of the "Relation of
Equal Suffrage to the Liouor Traffic.'
Mrs. Wise. In a lengthy address, recited
the situation in Iowa and voiced the pur
pose ot the organization to bring about
changed political conditions. She quoted
federal reports showing that It cost $1,800,-
000,000 in 1910 to pay the nation' liquor
bill, and she waa sure there waa $400,000,000
of illicit trading done.
When It came to the election of officer
It was decided that the work of the present
officers had been so satisfactory that they
should not be changed and all were re
elected. They are:
Mra. O. G. Oldham. Council Bluffs, presi
dent.
Mrs. Laura B. Baird. Council Bluffs, vice
president.
Mrs. Carrie Ballenger, Council Bluffs,
corresponding secretary.
Mrs. Hattle B. McNaughton. Earling, re
cording secretary.
Mrs. Sarah E. Savery, Atlantlo. treasurer.
White Asserts All
Lorimer Democrats
Got Pay for Votes
Says Thinks Some Republicans Are in
Same Boat, but Declines to
Give Karnes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. To his story of
how he asserts he was bribed to vote for
Lorimer, Charles A. White, former mem
ber of the Illinois legislature, today added
for the benefit of the senate Lorimer In
vestigating committee that he believed
every one of the fifty-three democrats who
voted for Lorimer did so for a money con
sideration. He added that he thught some
of the republicans who voted for Lorimer
got money for so doing.
White declined to mention the name of
any repubdlcana he suspected "because It
Is Just a matter of opinion and I do not
want to do an injustice to anyone." He
aid' he based his opinion about wholesale
corruption on the faot that he waa bribed
and that others had confessed to the same
thing.
All day White was cross-examined by
Attorney Elbrldge Hanecy, representing
Senator Lorimer. The cross-examination
will be completed early tomorrow when
former State Representative Beckemeyer
will be placed on the stand.
White declared that the record In the
first Lorimer investigation waa wrong In
reporting him as saying he "would have
sold" hi story to Senator Lorimer If the
senator had given him $76,000 for his "con
fession" manuscript In response to White'
letter.

smashed Into a grove of trees bordering
the water of Lake Kearney. Walsh was
uninjured.
The machine was crumpled Into a mas
of Junk, but the engine la not damaged
beyond repairs. As the aeroplane tilted
toward the fround, the crowd stood voice
less and then as it crashed through the
trees they swooped down on it at a swift
run. Company A, Nebraska National guard.
doing police duty for the day formed a
circle about the broken bt-plane and with
fixed bayonets held the crowd back. How
ever, within two hours the crowd was so
clamoroua for souvenirs that Walsh allowed
them to take parts of the broken machine
and within fifteen minutes the silken planes
were gone and the bamboo frame had been
carried away.
Walsh said: "If I had been going into
the wind I could have easily gone above
the wires or landed without accident. There
was a wind from the east and I waa flying
west and it was difficult to go higher.
"I felt the machine tilt and tried to rise.
but could not, although I never had so
much power. When the machine struck
the ground I thought It waa turning over
on men and got out of the way as quick
i I could.
"The accident will result In cancelling the
date at Fremont Tuesday and I will have
to have another machine. It was completely
ruined."
Walsh received not a scratch, though
his machine shot almost straight down
Into the earth. The Kearney Commercial
club ten days ago seoured Walsh for four
flights. He was then performing at Lara
mie nd later flew at Cheyenne. Special
train! had been run on all railroads leading;
to Kearney and a huge crowd had gathered.
DEMOCRATS OUT AFTER SCALP
Majority In House Seeks to Dismiss
Captain Michael.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. (Special Tele
gram.) The minority In the house today
made a hard fight to prevent consideration
of the Dent resolution which provides for
taking up and considering the report of
the committee oh expenditures In the State
department which calls upon the president
to Instruct Secretary Knox to dismiss Cap
tain W. H. Michael of Nebraska, now
United State consul general at Calcutta,
and Thomas Morrison, disbursing clerk of
the State department, because of their con
nection with the now famous payment for
the portrait ot former Secretary of State
Day.
Immediately after the resolution was pre
sented a point of no quorum was raised,
which was Immediately followed by a mo
tion to adjourn for the day. On this roll
call was had and the house decided not
to adjourn. Then followed an extended
debate on the form In which the resolution
was couched. In which Dalsell of Pennsyl
vania, Lenroot of Wisconsin and Madison
of Kansas and other participated.
Judge Madison bitterly assailed the find
ings of the committee In their efforts to
coerce the president through his secretary
of state to dismiss Michael, who Is now
on the other side of the world and ha
never been given an opportunity to refute
In person the allegations made against him.
However, the democratic steam roller waa
in good working order and finally the
finding of a majority of the committee
on expenditure in the State department,
with It censure of Michael and Morrison,
and request for their discharge from the
service, waa taken up, but later was laid
aside until tomorrow.
The case grows out of the voucher for
$2,460 in payment of a portrait ot former
Secretary of Bute Day, the artist having
claimed he received only $800 of the amount.
LEGAL KIDNAPING CONDEMNED
Seotate Committee Saggests Chan are In

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. The process of
"legal kidnaping" as In the labor cases
of Moyer, Haywood and McNamara was
condemned by the senate select committee
appointed to investigate the third degree
methods of the police authorities of th
United States, which was presented to the
senate today, by Senator Borah, on be
half of . the committee.
The committee said the practice of hurry
ing accused men from one state to an
other without giving them an opportunity
to be heard should be prevented by pro
hibiting extradition until after the lapse
of a certain number of days or by some
other effective plan. The only other
recommendation was the cessation of "Jury
shadowing" by the secret service men.

Maharaja of Bnroda Outshines All
Other Monarch of the
World.
Another native ruler who Is likely to at
tract publlo attention Is His Highness
Maharaja Sir Sayaji Rao Gnekwar Baha
dur of Baroda, who possesses probably the
finest collection of Jewels In the world.
The gaekwar represents a state which
has been In the hands of the Mahrattns
since the early part of the eighteenth cen
tury, when his ancestor, the first gaekwar,
wrested the territory from the hands of
the Moguls. He became the ruler nf ltn.
roa a at the age of 12.
His palace at Baroda Is one of the most
remarkable buildings 'in India. It has cost
millions to build from first to Inst. It la
called Lakahlml Vilas "the Abode of the
Goddess of Fortune." The corridors are of
alabaster and pearl. Inlaid with precious
stones, and the throne room is magnificent
In Its gorgeous splendor.
The gaekwar's Jewela are the wonder of
Asia. In the "tosha-khana" the treasure
chambers of the Old Nail Bagh' palace
there are precious stones the like of whlcli
not even Aladdin or Slndblad ever saw.

bigger than our own Koh-l-noor. and the
only second to the Culllnan. Then there is
the great collar of 600 diamonds, with a
double row of pear-shaped emeralds, the
broad scarf literally covered with row upon
row of pearls, and knotted with Immense
pigeon blood rubles on the left shoulder:
and the necklace, which falls from the
throat to the waist, made up of seven
rows of pear-shaped dlamonda as large as
hasel nuts. There Is a carpet, large enough
to cover the floor of a fair slsed room,
covered with seed pearls, and 1 worth a
king' ransom. And, besides all this, there
are bushel of uncut stones and cups
carved out of solid emeralds.
Nor are these gems and precious metals
confined to the treasure chambers. They
may be found In jthe elephant stables as
well. These have their gold and Jeweled
howdahs. one of which Is ths gift of ths
Empress-Queen Victoria. Another for tho
little princes 1 borne by silver leopards,
which have spots of chrysoprase and aqua
marine. There are great forehead plaques,
guiding prongs and leading chains of pur
gold inlaid with every gem. And for those
who wish to climb up Into the howdah
there are ladders of solid silver. The sta
bles contain other treasures. There is a
victoria made of gold, and a litter for the
use of the Maharanl also made of gold.

embroidered hangings of gold tissue. And
last of all, there la a cannon of solid silver

der European Influences has led him to see
that where the oriental falls In his contact
with the Occident is in the matter of edu
cation. His four sons have had the benefit
of an English public school and university
education, having studied at Eton and Ox
ford. The maharaja kumar the baroda
crown prince Is quite European in ills
tastes. He was allowed to choose his own
bride and to see her face before marriage.
The gaekwar has made education the
chief feature of his rule in Baroda. He has
quadrupled the number of elementary
schools In his dominions, and supplemented
them with technical and secondary schools.
There is a perfectly equipped polytechnic,
and to crown all, there is the Baroda uni
versity, which his highness has built, anil
the domes of which rise above the public
gardens and crown one of the finest mod
ern buildings in India.
The gaekwar has been a great traveler,
and In all his wanderings he has paid the
closest attention to the methods of educa
tion in the countries he has visited. More
over, he has obtained the best teacher, he
could get from all lands. Five years ago
he paid a prolonged visit to the 1,'nlted
States, the result of which was that his
only daughter has been educated there,
