The company explained that only the loading of wagons for the city trade would be done on this side of the building. An ordinance repealing the ordinance re~ quiring the Great Western to comstruct an overhead crossing or viaduct on Garfield avenve was passed. The request of H. H. Van Brunt and Dr. Charles Woodbury that they be relieved from paying their share of the cost of the sewer on Third street was denled. Messrs.

Bonham | and T. D. Metecalf, appointed to suggest a ' club, met yesterday afterioon, every mem- | Ler belng present After a discussion of the several plans suggested by the varlous members of the committee, It was decided to recommend that the organization be styled the Council Bluffs Commercial club and that it be in- corporated as a corporation ‘“‘mot for pe- cuniary profit.”" Also that ¢ building as- sociation be formed, the stockholders to be | members of the club and to erect a bulld- | ing as & home for the club. The building is to contaln an assembly hall, which ean be used for public meetings. The committee will suggest that the club elect a board of fifty directors, who in turn will elect an executive committee of five, which will practically bave charge of the affairs of the club. As to dugs, it was de- | cided to recommend that general members pay an entrance fee of $5 and annual dues of $12, payable ‘quarterly. The fifty di- rectors will be fequired to pay $25 in ad- ,dition to the regular entrance fee and dues and the five members of the executive com- | mittee will be called upor fo contribute $100 | in addition to the entrance fee and dues. | This the ffty directors and five members of {he executive committee must pledge them- selves to do before they can be elscted. The members of the executive committee, how- ever, will be enabled, according (0 the plans | suggested by the committee, to earn suf: ficient to pay this $100.

Member Gorman occupled a large portion of the time of the Board of Education last night calling attention to what in his opin- fon were serlous defects in the conitruc- tion of the new addition to the Plerce Stree! school bullding. He read a lengthy detailed report from stenographic notes taken by him on a recent inspection of the building and insisted that the alleged faulty con- struction of the bullding and the interfor ‘ I ! | ‘ | work was a grave reflection on the commit- tee on grounds and buildings and the board's architects, Mesers. Cox & Schoent- gen, which led to a vigorous protest from Chalrman Cooper of the committee on bufldings and grounds, who resented the charge made by Member Gorman. It was explained that all of the defects alleged by Member Gorman could be easily reme- died nnd that the contractor had been notified to make the necessary alteratio to comply with the specifications. Archi- tect Cox also resented the charge made agalnst him by Mr. Gorman and explained | that the use of old material to lessen the | expense was responsible to a great extent | for the seemingly poor work on the in- | terlor. The board declined to take any ac- | tion in the matter until the architects file their final report approving the payment | of the last estimate. The committee to which the matter of | fireescapes had been entrusted reported | through Member Cooper that contracts for’ the erection of spiral stairway escapes had been let to J. C. Bixby & Son for $205 for the Bloomer school and $285 for the High school building. On the recommendation of the committee the secretary was instructed to advertise for bids for a spiral fireescape | for the Washington Avenue school building. | Member Gorman suggested a plan for dis. infecting all the pencils, blocks and other | material used in the kindergartens as a preventative against the spread of diph- | theria. He gave it as his opinion that the alsinfection ought to be done at least once | a week. The board falled, however, to take any actlon. F. P. Wright of the Carbon Coal company, which has the contract for supplylng the schools with coal, reported that he ex- pected a shipment of five cars to reach here in a day or two which would keep the schools golng for two or three weeks. He attributed the lack of coal to the fallure of the raliroads to supply cars and stated that his company had for the last three weeks | refused to sell to private customers and vas using all the coal it could secure to | supply its public contracts The resignation of Miss Mary Hart, a teacher in the Third Street school, ac- | cepted and Mi Nellle Jacobs of the Bloomer school assigned to her place. Miss Hardin, principal of the Bloomer school, and Miss Myers, prineipal of the Twen- tieth Avenue school, who have been in ad- dition to their duties as principals of two of the largest schools in the city been teaching half a day, asked that they be relieved from teaching and in return were willing to accept the lesser salary of prin- cipal alone. They gave as their reasons that the double work was too great a strain on them and the board granted their re- quest. Christ Endeavor Rally. The program for the rally of the Chris- tian Endeavor societies of the Seventh Iowa district, to be held Thursday in this city at the First Congregational church, has been completed. At 4 p. m. there will be a workers' con- ference conducted by Rev. Clarence E. Eb’ erman of Boston, fleld secretary of the United Soclety of Christian Endeavor.

Searchlight A powertul searchlight which has been erected on the top of the new theater was put in operation last night by Manager Carmody for the first time. The search- light, which is placed on top of a twenty- five foot steel tower, is similar in design and size to those used on the torpedo boats of the United States navy. The light is of a Rushmore model of the latest type with a 5,000 candle power. It is claimed that the shaft of light can be seen for a distence of twenty-five miles. The light will be operated each night there is a show in the theatem Incre: Damage Henry Lock, whose personal injury dam- age suit against the city is occupying the attention of Judge Thornell and a jury in the district court, yesterday filed an amend- meat to his petition increasing the amount of damages asked for from 35,280 to $10,- 320.

The supreme court this morning ad- mitted to practice on certificates Lewis | A. Smyers, from Illinois, and Seth H. Sil- ver, formerly of Wisconsin. There will be no examination of a class by the bar com- miesions during this term of the court, as | the bar examinations have all been put oft until the early spring term, when the examinations may be made to include the graduates of law schools. The bar com- mission has made a rule that where appli- cants have not possessed themselves of high school certificates of bachelor's degrees in college, they shall be required to take an examination in high school branches, pre- Jiminary to the taking of the examination. This has catsed sharp criticism from some scources, but it {s explained that because some of the law schools admit persons to their classes without examination, the rule is necessary. The number of those taking these examinations' is Hkely to be small for several years'as the new law now re- quires three yea#s' fn a law school. Arranging Dairy Bxhibit., Senator Erickfon’ of Boone is making preparations for the securing of a dairy and butter exhibit at the St. Louis expo- sition, and will attend the meeting of the state butter makers’ at Cedar Rapids next month to secure their co-operation.

QUAY WANTS IMMEDIATE VOTE Debate on Statehood Bill Merely for Purpose of De- laying Measure. Says is WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—In the eenate today Mr. Bailey (Tex.) continued his policy of objecting to the taking up of bills by unanimous consent. As soon as the routine business was disposed of the senate considered the leg- islative, executive and judicial appropria- tion bill. The committee amendments were agreed was passed. The statehood bill then was taken up. Mr. Beveridge (Ind.) had begun to speak, when Mr. Quay (Pa.) demanded a vote. “Before any other senator has a chance to talk on this bill?" asked Mr. Béveridge. “Yes. 1 don't care whether = another person speaks on the bill or not. Iam pre- pared for a vote mow,” replied Mr. Quay. Mr. Beveridge opposed the suggestion. “The bill is belng willfully obstructed by discussion,” sald Mr. Quay, “and no one knows tfat beiter than the senator from Indiana.” . Mr. Beveridge responded by saying that the thing to do was to find out who really was_obstructing. We will discover that by a vote,” re- torted Mr. Quay. Mr. Beveridge eald it was the same old { argument, “We have the votes and are ready to go ahea Mr. Quay interrupted with a proposi- tlon that unanimous consent be given for a vote on the bill on Saturday, the 24th instant. Mr. Beveridge showed some irritation at the interruption, saying it was hardly per- tinent to the point he was discussiug. “The semator from Pennsylvania," sald Mr. Beveridge, “has secured pledges and has surrounded bimself with a corps so fmpervious to the assaults of reason that he proposes to rush the bill through.” “The statement of the senator from In- diana” sald Mr. Quay, “Is false.” Which he later corrected to “untrue.” Mr. Beveridge characterized Mr. Quay's use of the words “willful obstruction” as audacious, “because,” he sald, “Mr. Quay had announced that unless he got what he demanded needful legislation would be side- Jracked.” Mr. Beverldge then proceeded to discuss Loma and Indian Territory. Mr. Quay asked consent to have a vote taken January 24, January 29, February 4, February 10 or February 16, to all of which Mr. Beveridge objected, Mr. Quay then gave notice that tomor- row, at the close of the morning business, he would move to take up the statehood bill and might ask a recession until some agreement was reached. Mr. Hanna (0O.) spoke in opposition to a statebood for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. At 4:30 the senate went into executive session and a few minutes later adjourned. A Deathblow to Malaria.

This | Columbia appropriation bill, which was morning he cgused the arrest of Ball postponed until today, was devoted to a | oo nieindy Qiscussion of general topics. | | Mr. Sheppard (Tex.) talked of trusts, us ing exceedingly strong language in his de- nunciation of the existing condition of af- fairs. He ridiculed President Roosevelt's anti-trust campalgn, declaring that in view of his performances, his Minneapolis speech was a “disheartening mockery.” ““To call him the anti-trust candidate for 1904, he said, “was the most colossal jest of the time.” Mr. Sheppard also denounced John D. Rockefeller and J. Plerpont Morgan i Mr. Cochran (Mo.) discussed the Alaskan boundary dispute, eriticigng severely “the surrender to Fngland,” which he termed “cowardly and pusillanimous,” “How about the surrender under a demo cratic administration of the territory be- tween latitude 49 and 64:40?" asked Mr. Hepburn. “That was in the period of our weak- ness,” replied Mr. Cochran, 'when the fear of the result of war with England bore feavily upon public men. Now, in the time of our strength, we supinely permit an- other land grab by the same land-grabbing country Hepburn Makes Reply. Mr. Hepburn, replying to Mr. Cochran, went back to the history of the “‘democratic surrender” of Oregon. “Was not Danlel Webster secretary of state when the negotiations for the sur- render were arranged and had not a whig administration succeeded, owing to’ the | { death of a democratic president?” asked | | Mr. Cochran “James Buchanan negotiated the treaty,’ responded Mr, Hepburn; “Mr. Polk ap- proved It and a democratic senate ratified it. Now the gentleman whose party sur- rendered a territory in the north equal to eight states and the empire of Texas in the | south, denounces as “the crime of the cen- tury the possible surrender of a narrow strip of territory way up at the 60th paral- | lel of latitude.'” Something of a etir was occasioned just before Mr. Cochran concluded by an unex- pected fnterruption from the ladies' gal- lery. Mr. Cochran was speaking of the “policy of the United States to Great Britain.” “When ' that truckling ceased,” he declared, “the people of Canada, now in- tensely loyal to England, would change their attitude.” You lie,” cried a stylishly dressed young woman, in clear, ringing tones. All eyes were turned to the ladies’ gallery, where the speaker leaned forward deflantly, as it she intended, to say something further. But a companion pulled her back and im- medlately after she left the gallery. Mr. Sulzer (N. Y.) also participated In the debate concerning the Alaskan boundary | | line, maintaining that there was no doubt | ot the title of the United States to the | | disputea territory.
