The report of Secretary McDonald of the executive committee showed that this body had not been Idle since its formation a month ago. Jt told of the efforts of the committee to Jnduce the South Omaha pack- ing houses to establish cooling or supply stations in this city in place of delivering meat by open wagon from Omaha. Bat one of the packing houses has agreed to com- ply with the wishes of the dealers in this city, the others protesting on the ground of expense. The committee in Its report states it has several enterprises in view, among the number being a horse colla | factory, which will employ from fity to seventy-five people; a shoe factory, which will give employment to 500 hands, aad other projects which the committce is not prepared to make public at this time. It told of the steps taken to form & manu- facturers’ and jobbers' assoclation for the purpose of organizing trade excursions. It also referred to the abandonmen* of Coun- cil Blufts by the Union Pacifiic as its terminal and urged that the city take the matter up at onoe. L. M. Shubert brought the matter of inde- pendent telephone lines before the meeting and suggested that the club take steps to induce the independent companies in this section of the state to establish an ex- change in this city, Dr. Macrae also spoke on the same matter, urging the necessity of connection with these Independent com- panies. A communication was read from the As- soclated Charities in which that organiza- tion told of its need for a suitable bullding | and suggested that the Commercial club erect such a building and lease it to the eassociation until such time as it can raise the money to pay for it. Such a bullding as was needed, the association wrate, would cost about $8,000. This and the matter of the independent telephone companies were referred to the preper committees. Plumbing and heatiog.

INQUEST ON YOUNG MADSEN Coromer's Jury Absolves the Lightl Company from Any Blame in Matter, The inquest over Eddie Madsen, the 13- year-old boy who was electrocuted Tuesday afternoon as a result of climbing one of the electric light ~ompany's poles, resulted in the jury bringing in & verdict in which no blame was attached to the company. At the same time the jury recommended that the Electric Light company place dan- ger signals on its poles carrying heavy voltage wires.

Charles Swalne, Ovide Vien and William Roper comprised the jury. , Horace Greer, L. Harle, Kenneth Harmon e s LEWIS CUTLER MORTICLAN. 8 Pearl 6t.. Council Bluffs. "Phone 3. and Earl Hart, the lads who were playing with §ddle Madsen at the time of the acci- dent, testified. Their stories corroborated the statement made by Greer shortly after OSAILY BEE: THURSDAY MARCH 5, 1903 INTEREST FROM the accident. Alderman Israel Lovett, who is an electriclan, testified that he was a* the scene of the accident a few minutes after the death of the boy and made an in- vestigation. He fornd that the pole steps started eight feet from the ground, so that the boy must have climbed on the fence or adjoining shed to have reached the first step. Electricians, he testified, considered any wire with a voltage of 1,000 or more as a live wire regardless of insulation. E. A. Sweet, electriclan of the Citizens' Gas and Electric company, testified that the wires which young Madsen caught hold of carrled a current of 2,300 volts. He de- scribed the manner in which the two wires were scorched at the points where young Madsen grasped them. The funeral will be held this morning at 11 o'clock from Trinity Methodist church. Burlal will be in Falrview cem- etery. Rev. A. E. Buriff will conduct the services. Matters in D In the suit brouht by J. P.

JAMES WALKER GETS LIMIT OF THE LAW Judge Given in Passing Sentence Makes Severe Stricture on Both Walker a Harry Levich, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, March 4.—(Speclal.)—The board of directors of the State Department of Agriculture held a meeting today for regular business, and among other things appointed a committee to confer with the board of trustees of the State college at Ames in regard to the selection of a presi- dent for that institution. The committee appointed consists ot ex-Governor Packard, Marshalltown; C. W. Phillips, Maquoketa, and John Ledgerwood, Leon. It is the sentiment of the State Board of Agricul- ture that the president selected should be Prof. 8. F. Curties of the chair of animal Gwsbandry of the college, and this com- mittee was appointed with a view to urging upon the college board the selection of Prof Curtiss. The trustees have made no progress whatever in the selection of a president of the college to succeed the late Dr. Bearshear. The commitiee of the board assigned to investigate has never | made any kind of report on the subject, for no person has been found whom the committee would care to recommend. The name of Prof. Curtiss was suggested at the outset, but at that time it was be- lleved he would be more useful in his present position, where he has given the college a nailonal standing, and he pre- ferred to remain there. But the sentl- ment among the agricultural classes ot the state has been iurning toward Prof. Curtiss and it is belleved now he will be selected. Walker Gets the Limit. In the district court today Judge Glven sentenced James Walker, colored, to elght years In the penitentiary for the murder of Isaac Finkelstein, on conviction for man- slaughter. The judge, in passing sentence, was especially severe on the defendant, declaring his belief that the evidence had shown him to be guilty of entering into a conspiracy with Harry Levich to kill Finkelstein and to have actually done the deed. The judge scored Levich, who has already been acquitted on the same charge, and declared that the evidence in this case showed beyond any doubt that it was Levich who employed the colored man to kill Finkelstein, and the motive for it was found in his unreasoning hatred of the dead man. These declarations of the court created a sensation, as they were unex- pected and somewhat contrary to popular belief, and there are indications that some effort will be made to prorecute Levich in some other way for his part in the crime. Exposition Commission Meets. The lowa commission of the St. Louls exposition met this afternoon and trans- ncted general business. 'the commission divided up the money that was left after the contract for the state bullding had been approved and made appropriations for the different departments.

Emma Van Vechten, Cedar Rapids. On the press meeting nro- gram there will be Ada Times Klocker, Independence; Mrs. Ella H. Durlay, Des Molnes, and Mrs. G. W. Ogllvie, Des Molnes. A department of forestry has been formed and Mrs. Maria C. Bibbs of Boone has been named to take charge of the eame. Another fepture will be a lec- ture on art by Prof. Cumming of this city. It is probable that Mfs. Walter I Smith of Council Bluffs will be elected president of the federation. Miners Name Ofcers.

Governor Herreld returned a veto on the bill which attempted to amend the liquor law by providing a penalty for buying liquor for a minor or inebriate, which veto was based on the ground that by changing words and punctuation the law would be a meaningless jumble of words and the effect of the present law killed. The veto was sustained by a veto of 75 to 1 The bill to appropriate $10,000 for build- ings on the State fair grounds at Huron was called up and diseussion cut off by the previous question.
