Frllowing the Jensen case, Charles Dobbins, » indicted for maintaining a nuisance in ‘the shape of the Senate saloon at the corner of Bryant street and Broadway, was placed on trial. The prosecution relied for con- vietion on the testimony of certain ex- members of the police force. ex-members of the police force, however, were placed on the witness stand they were unable to swear definitely as to who wus the owner of the saloon complained of. The result was that the court Instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant. This morning the trial of H. 2.

A similar case against Harry Patterson has been continued to the next term at the request of County Attorney Killpack. G.

GETTING TOGETHER ON MINERS' SCALE Program for Vistt Shiloh Battiefield Changed to In- clude Corinth and Other of lowa Men to Points of Interest. (F1om a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOIN March 11.—(Special.)— The lowa Association of Independent Tele- phone Managers and Owners commenced convention here today. There are about 200 present and the reports of officlals show that in the last two years the asso- clation has grown from a mere dozen per- ®0ns to its present proportions. The asso- ciation now has as members nearly all who are connected with the independert toll lines traversing the state. A legislative committee ‘s maintained for the purpose of influencing legislation and taking care that nothing is done that will affect the telephone business adversely. Provision was made today for an arbitration board to consult with employes and to act as be- tween different companies, the committee to consist of five members appointed by the president and to receive compensation while on duty. Provision was also made for incorporation of the association. The recent decision of the supreme court re- lating to franchises on streets was dis- cussed at length and an attorney of this city was usked to address the aseociation and explain the purport of the decision There was some consideration also given to the suit in Pottawattamie county to have declared unconstitutional the law re- lating to telephone companies having a right to place their poles on the public | highways. The following officers were elected: President, Dr. Heer, Ottumwa; vice president, J. Sullivan, Creston; secretary and treasurer, C. C. Deering, Des Moines. Coal Counferenee Progrewses. The coal miners and coal operators made substantial progress today in the matter of their conference as to the wage scale for the ensuing year. The miners' com- mittee made a proposition for a scale to conform to the Indlanapolis scale and this is the basis on which the work is being done. The committees will be In session uctil the work is finished, but both the operators ani the miners say the session will be a short one and that a scale will be signed. Creston Loses the Lodge. The grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Iowa, was located in Creston at the last grand lodge meeting and arrangements were being made to go there in July nexi for the annual gathering; but the ofcials have just received word that the conditions which were imposed on Creston have not been met and it will be necessary fo choose some other place for the meeting. Accordingly the executive tommittee is to meet in Des Motnes soon and fix a location for the grand lodge. This may be at Ot- tumwa, Davenport or Spirit Lake. Change in Shiloh Program. The transportalion committee on the Shiloh monumgnt commission will have an- other meetingtWbon “and may change the program with referencé to the tuip of the lowa soidiers to the battlefield near Pitii- burg Lending for May 30 nmext, when the lTowa monuments' at Shiloh will be dedi- cated. The committee had practically con- cluded arrangements to have the excursion proceed by way of Paducah, Ky., going from that town on a steamboat which would re- main at Pittsburg Landing for two days wLile the Towa people were visiting the battlefleld. Now it is proposed that the lowa excursion, which is likely to jnclude several hundred persons, shall go by way of Memphis and on tnrough Tennessee and to the battle scenes of Corinth, Iuka and elso- where. There has not been complete suc- cess in the efforts to secure a suitable boat for the trip up the river from Paducah. The Jowa monuments are now being placed Shiloh and the contractors say they will have their work all complete some time | next month so that there will be no delay in the dedication. Governor Cummins is to accompany the party and deliver an ad- dress. Trainmen and the Federation, Information has been received by the offi- fals of the, Iowa Federation of Labor to the effect that the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in Tows s making overtures look- ing toward afliation with the trades and labor assemblies. None of the railroad or- ders are now joined with the federation. Last year the coal riners returned to the federation and greatly strengthened it. Now the railroad trainmen are preparing to join with the other orders in the federa- tion movement. This would add hearly £,000 members, as the last report of the tralnmen showed they had twenty-nine lo- cals in the state with a membership of 1,762, and there has been an Increase since that time. It s anticipated that if the tralnmen join the federation other of the rallrcad orders will also come in soon. Investigating Guard Matters. Adjutant General Byers has gone to Iowa Falls and New Hampton to make Investiga- tion of those towns with a view to locating the naw company in the Forty-ninth regi- ment in one of them. The company will take the place of the Marshalltown com- pany, which fell below the standard and was mustered out. Both of the towns men- tioned are prepared to furnish a company of militia and to support it well, With the seeretary of state tuday there was filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Presbyterian Publish- ing company of Dubuque increasing the capital stock from $5,000 to $10,000. The Towa Ice company of Des Moines completed its incorpgration by filing with the secre- tary of state. The capital 18 $80,000, and it is inedrporated by J. W. Wilioughby and others.

Iowa Building and Loan. The state auditor this morning pre- pared a statement showing the condition of the fifty-five domestic local and seven- teen domestic building and loan associa- tions of Iowa at the close of business De- cember 31 last as shown by their reports made to the auditor. The assets of the domestic locals aggregated $4,251,248.38 of which some of the leading items were as follows: Keal estate loans, $3,700,112.80; loans on stock pledged, $101,548.80; real estate, $145,380.97; cash, $117,280.40, In the list of labilitles of these domestic locals are the following items, namely: Paid in installment stock, $3,221,979.87; divided profits, $365,896.98; undivided profits, $246,- 174.03. The assets of the domestic com- panfes aggregated $1,405,221.05 and in the items are: Loans on real estate, $1,021,- 076.60; real estate, $146,951.06; loans In process of foreclosure, $39,860.16; cash on hand, $54,065.03.

Bankers Meet at Davenport. The executive committee of the Iowa State Bankers' association held a wmeeting this afternoon in the Grant club rooms to fix the time and place for the annual n.eet- ing. Davenport gets the meeting and the { cause of the fact that the Illinols State Island, just across the river at that time, and it was desired by the bankers of both associations that their meetings should be | held at the same time so that many who | attend could go back and forth. There are always a great many Chicago bankers at the Illinols association meetings and they will be at Rock Island in large num- bers. It 1s expected that Secretary Shaw will be one of the speakers at both of the meetings, and other distinguished per- sons will attend Carpenters and Bullders Agree. There will be no trodble in the build- ing trades over labor questions this year in Des Moines and this despite the fact that there s more activity and a greater demand for labor than r before. The carpenters and the builders held a joint meeting last evening and settled their dif- ferences, or rather entered into a mutual agreement as to the wage scale for the current bullding season, which is entirely satistactory to both. The scale is for a minimum wage of 32% cents an hour, and | a standard wage of 40 cents an hour, and the day to consist of eight hours. The minimum scale is the same as last year, but the standard is 2% cents higher. The scale was signed by the representatives of the carpenters’ union and the Builders' ex- change to cover the entire year. This disposes of the possibility of a strike or disagreement this season. The bricklayers and others are practically agreed with the bullders on a scale and there will not be any trouble —— Don't Lose a Meal Through dyspepsia and indigestion Take Electric Bitters.

The report comprises four volumes of ap- proximately 500 pages each, and much ‘of the testimony has been published from time to time as it was taken. The filing of the report makes public for the first time the proceedings at an inter- esting seesion held November 12, 1902, in New York, in which the contentions of the government and the defendant are outlined. The securities company maintained that its operations are ndt in violation of the Sher- man anti-trust act; that since the passage of that act other rallway companies have ac- quired by purchase and lease parallel and competing lines frequently under legisla- tive sanction; that these facts have been reported to the Interstate Commerce com- mission and by the commission to congre that the universal, popular and legislative construction of the Sherman act has been that such railway transactions are not in violation of anti-trust law. The attorneys for the North.rn Securl- tles company endeavored to secure from the Interstate Commerce commission reports on the transactions of seven rallway com- panies concerning consolidation. The com- misslon declined to furnish reports, and middle week of July will be selected be- | the uttorneys for the defendant then asked to be permitted to ‘ntroduce extracts from a pure ny U.

General Richards, for the government, held that the proposed evidence was imma- terial, saying: Now the present suit is one brought against the Northern Securities company, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Rallway companies and certain stockholders of these two corporations. The position of the government is that in the formation of the Northern Securities company, in the Way It was formed, there was a contract or combination made in restraint of trade. In the answer of the defendanta it is in- sisted that there was no contract or com- bination made in restraint of such trade. That is a proper defense, and I have no ob- jection to any testimony tending to sustain it. But it is further urged, on the side of the defense, that if there was a contraet or combination m.de, ‘other rallway com- bunies have been and are gullty of doing Substantially the same thing. Now. i that any defense? If other rafl- way companies did in any way enter into contracts of combination In restraint of {rade among the several states before the passage of the anti-trust act, can it be Pairly claimed that the anti-trust act was not intended to apply to such contracts or combinations? The inference 1s clearly the other way. n Burke. Reception for Congr PIERRE, 8.
