THE OMAHA DAITLY BEE fONDAY, JUNE 9,” 1904, IOWA _COUNCIL BLUFFS. (AN FORCE FIRE ESCAPES New Law Solves a Diffioulty Oonfronting the Public Library Board. OWNER IGNORES PREVIOUS NOTICES Bever: in, of the Public Se Bai Alse Come Within the Scope of the New Law, Effecte tva in July. Trustee Balrd now sees a way to en- force his demands that the Merriam block, in which the public library is situated, be provided with firé escapes, Several months @go Mr. Baird urged that the library board take this matter up and have the library protected with fire escapes as provided for in the city ordinance. In compliance with his request ths city council was notified that the owner of the Merriam block had not complied with the ordinance regulating fire escapes, but there the matter was per- mitted to rest. M. F. Robrer, president of the lbrary ‘board, is sald to have thrown cold water on the efforts of Mr., Baird to secure the fire escapes and for this feason the council failed to take any action. Mr. Baird, how- ever, is now independent of Pi Rohrer, or evem the city council, last legislature enacted a law which re- quires that all three-story bulldings shali be equipped with fire escapes, and under the provisions of this law, if rigidly en- forced, the Merriam block will be literally covered with fire escapes on all sides of the bullding. This law will go into effect July 4. At the meeting of the library board this atternoon Trustee Baird will again bring the matter up with a resolution, providing that the secretary call the attentiom of Mr. Merriam, owner of the bullding, to the law and notifying him to. comply with iz, otherwise the courts will be cailed upon. The law provides that fallure to comply with its provisions within sixty days after Ats passage will make the owners of build- Angs subject to a fine of not less than $50 @and not more than $100 for the first offense. The need for fire escapes on the Merriam lock, Mr. Baird asserts, has been doubled #ince the city authorities permitted Mr. Merriam to erect the frame structure ad- joining the block on the west side. This bullding, which extends through from Main street to Pearl street, is composed en- tirely ot lumber, with a tar roof. Used as it is, as a cornice and tin. works, it is| considered by Mr. Baird and others as a | constant menace to the Merriam block. In caso of the new building catching fire there 1s absolutely nothing to prevent it spread- . ing to the Merriam, the windows of which for two stories open directly above the yoof of the new structure. The law enacted by the legislature, it enforced, will require the Board of Educa- tion to place fire escapes on several of the gchool bulldings, When the city ordinance was passed there was considerable talk about requiring these school bulldings to be equipped with the necessary fire es- capes, but the matter was allowed to drop.

Beck Tires of Waltin, "The motor company having failed to com- ply with his demand that an opening or & gate be placed in the fence to afford visit- ors to Lake Manawa access to his place of business, Colonel Beck stated yester- day that suit would be brought either today or Tuesday to prevent the sale of liquor within the grounds at Manawa. In this fight Colonel Beck 1s supported by W. Rogers, keeper of the Country club house, which is also shut off from the grounds by the fence which the motor company prected across the roadway this spring. Colonel Beck and W, Rogers have been conductipg their saloons, it is asserted, strictly according to the provisions of the mulct law since they gave notice of their fght against the motor company and thelr places have been closed promptly every pight at 10 o'clock and have been kept closed on Sundays. When Colonel Beck first threatened to enforcé the mulct' law on the motor com- pany, an official of the company promisel that the gate asked for would be placed in the fence, but up to last night it had not been done and Colonel Beck stated he wa: lired of walting and would appeal to the pourts today or Tuesday. A week ago Colonel Beck secured the pames of over 100 prominent business and professional men of Council Bluffs who were at the lake and whom he threatens to summon as witnesses in the evegt of being forced to bring proceedings agaimst the motor company.

COMPLAIN OF HEAVY RAINS Too Much Water for Farming Operations the Past Week in Iowa, DATES FOR THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTES List of Those Scheduled in Western Towa—Balliet Will Seek New Trial, but Will Close Out His Business, (From a 8taft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 8.—(Special.)—The excessive rain of the last few days in lowa, covering practically the entire state, has been very hard on the growing crops. Director Sage of the State Weather and Crop bureau reports that the fall of water for the season is mow beyond the mormal and there are indications that the end has not yet been reached. While not making any doleful predictions as to the injury done crops or the prospect of reduced yield per acre because of the superabun- dance of water, Mr. Sage is ready to con- fess that the outlook is not so bright as it was a few weeks ago. Since there have been several seasons of dry weather in Towa the farmers have neglected the work of putting in tile drains on the farms, and the ground is not in as good condition for withstanding a wet season as it should be. In the ncrtheastern part of the state the heavy raine have washed out much of the growing corn and the fact that the ground is kept wet all the time has made it Im- possible to carry on cultivation to keep back the weeds. The reports for the past week show that perhaps as much water fell during the week as ever before in any week in the history of the state. The rain continued general in the state. All the streams are greatly swollen, which is un- usual for this time of the year. Normal Institutes for 1002, State Superintendent Barrett has com- piled a list of the county teachers’ normal institutes, with time and place of meeting.

Wil Seek n New Trial. It is the intentlon of the attorneys for Letson Balllet, convicted last week in the federal court of using the mails with in- tent to defraud, to demand a new trial, and falling In this, to carry the case to the highest court. One ground on which & new trial will be asked is that one of the jurors Is alleged to have slept part of the time of the trial. It is also alleged that Judge Munger ruled contrary to Judge McPherson on the matter of admitting cer taln important evidence, which crippled the defense. Balllet has gone to San Francisco to close his offices. He had a force of fifteen or twenty stenographers and clerks at headquarters, but the government has {ssued a fraud order against him, so that he will be unable to use the malls pending the trial. 0aa Fellows’ Memori; The Odd Fellows' lodge of Des Moines had memorial day today. There are eleven of the lodges and one Canton of Patriarchs Militant and they marched to the Green- wood cemtery in a body with the postoffice band and lowa band. The memorial ad- dress was by Rev.

The place for the encampment of the Fiftieth has not yet been fixed, but will probably be at Oskaloosa. Ex-Convict to Lecture. Governor Cummins has given special per- mission to Theodore Buscheck to lecture in the state for the purpose of ralsing money with which to pay his way to Haytl. Bus- check was a life convict from Mills county and was paroled by permission of the legis- lature on condition that he would go to his former home in Hayt. He had suf- ficlent money to pay his way to Hayti, but spent it securing his parole. He s old and unable to earn any money by physical labor. He is an educated man and lived many years in Haytl and has prepared a lecture which he desires to deliver. He could not do so without the consent of the governor and he agrees that as soon as he has earned enough for him to leave the state and go to Haytl he will fulflll the conditions of his parole. No Clues in Peterson Murder Case. The police were compelled to release N. Harris, arrested a few days ago as a sus- pect in the Peterson murder case. There was no evidence against him. He appeared to have become greatly interested in the case, 50 much so that he incessantly talked about 1t, but it is certain he had no knowl- edge of the crime. The city detectives are still at work doing everything they can on the case, but confess that they have nothing tangible on which to work. New President Addresses Students. GRINNELL, Ia., June 8.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Dr. Dan F. Bradley, the newly elected president of lowa college, delivered the baccalaureate address at the Stone church this morning to an audince of 1,600 people. Dr. Bradley took as his theme “The Creation of the Perfection of Charac- ter,” tracing it in biblical experience from the garden of Eden to Paradise. The bible opened with Eden and closed with Para- dise. Applylng his words to the present graduating class Dr. Bradley said they bad their edenic experience in college days. The chastening of life was to come lager and whether their reward was to be para- Qise or fallure was dependent upon their conduct of life. The address was able and timely, replete with depth of thought and uplifting sentiment. Dr. Bradley's initial appearance before the college world stamps him as an educator of versatility and power. An innovation was made here to- day in the commencement custom by the appearance of the faculty in cap and gown. Bishop Morrison Addresses Graduates. IOWA CITY, Ia., June 8.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Bishop Theodore N. Morrison de- livered the baccalaureate addre: to the senlor classes of the University of lowa this afternoon. His text was Philliplans, chapter 1i, verse 12: “So them, my be- loved, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who worketh in you." Bishop Morrison sald I part: “The perfect manhood of Christ Jesus 1s set before you. You are to work it out in yourselves. Set yourselves to make men of yourselves. The moment you do tbis God 1s with you. There is time in eternity In which to perfect it. Work out better conditions in soclety, business and politics in your own sphere of influence. Through helping others comes your own manhood, your salvation.” Commencement at State Norm: CEDAR FALLS, Ia, June 8.—(Speclal Telegram.)—President Seerley today deliv- ered the baccalaureate sermon to the class of the Normal on “The Great Expectation.

The largest amount of money ever ralsed for such a purpose has been contributed and exten- sive preparations are being made. Excel- lent committees are in charge and Essex will try to eclipse all former efforts in the manner of entertatning the visitors. COMMENTS OF THE IOWA PRESS, Burlington Hawkeye: The silver demo- crats of lowa are fearful they will be put in the also ran class at their state conven- tion next August. The Des Moines Register comes to the relief of the puzzled democracy with a suggestion that Corporal O'Brien would seem to be the logical candidate for presi- dent in 1904, 8loux City Journal: Uncle Dick Clark- son eays the month of May this year was the first in_his forty-seven years of ex- perfence in Towa without a frost. Is Uncle ick getting beyond the frost line? The Parkersburg Eclipse asserts “The Towan “who does not feel enthuslastic enough this year to yell for lowa should be taken to the borders of the state and glven a gentle hint that his presence is no longer desirable.” Davenport Democrat: With packing houses to work up her hogs and cattle, and a new beet sugar factory to work up her sugar beets, and a big distillery to work up her corn and rye, Bloux City ought to be able to work up something of an_oldtime boom, The selection of Cal Manning of Ot- tumwa as temporary chairman of the Bixth district convention, which fs to be held at Newton, July 16, Teminds the Fort Madison Republican that Mr. Manning may be a candidate for congress in the Sixth district some day himself.

"As its population grows the capital city becomes more and more in- clined to adopt the moral standards of the cosmopolitan metropolis. Towa State Register: James 8. Clarkson of New York City says'the state of Iowa is making a great mistake by not joining in the good roads movement, and starting out with an appropriation of not less than $50,000,000 for beginning the work. The little state of Virginla, with its naturally hard and smooth roads, has appropriated that much, he says, and every state in the east is spending millions every year, Good roads make good business, Marshalltown Times-Republican: An in- stance of the remarkable prosperity of the farming districts is related by one of the Times-Republican traveling agents, who has been working on the rural mail routes at Deep River. In a day's drive he ob- served twelve new barns and six new farm houses. One of these residences had cost $12,000, and all were modern and roomy, with modern conveniences tn the way of bath rooms, furnaces and the like. Cedar Raplds Republican: Des Moines has a phenomenon in the form of a man who turned in for taxation more moneys and credits than all the other people in- dividually in Des Moines. The, total moneys and credits listed is 33,442,000, Mr. Callanan has of this amount $767,616. Deducting what belongs to corporations and com- panies, Mr. Callanan has more listed than all the other individuals In that city. Mr. Callanan must have had an active con- sclence on the day the assessor came to see him. There are several men in_Des Molnes who probably have as much in moneys and credits as Callanan and the aggregate of such property listed is prob- ably hardly 10 per cent of the total in existence.
