LOCAL MANAGER IS NON-COMMITTAL ess Men Claim to Have Infor- mation From the East That the Deal is Practically Con- cluded. When asked yesterday it there was any foundation for the report that the new Thomson-Houston company of Omaha had acquired control of the Citizens' Gas and Electric company of this city W. H. Fritche man, manager of the Council Bluffs com- pany, declined to either deny or afirm the He stated, however, that negotia- been opened and were pending. ‘‘The de: he said, “as far as I have been informed bas not yet been closed. Beyond this I have nothing to say at this time." While the report here 18 to the effect that the Council Bluffs plant has passed into the possession of the Thomson-Houston com- pany of Omaha, it is said that the real | parties back of the deal are the people rep~ | resenting the Elkins-Widener syndicate of New York City, the financial backers of the reorganization of the Omaha & Council Blufts street electric rallway systems. Councl] Bluffs business men who have been figuring on organizing a local gas and electric light company with a view to securing it possible the city lighting con- tract at the expiration, two and a halt years hence, of the city's contract with the Citizens' Gas and Electric company, say that information received by them from the east leaves no doubt in their minds that the control of the Council Bluffs plant has passed to the Thomson-Houston com- pany of Omaba. It {s understood that changes in the local management will result from the absorption of the local concern by the Omaha company. As to this Man- ager Fritchman said he had no advice. President Nash of the New Omaha Thom- son-Houston company sald last night: “Negotlations are on and perbaps I can glve some definite statement tomorrow. At present all T would care to say is that probably the deal will go through. I do not even know that if it does the sompany across the river will become part of our company, though the parties negotiating are interested with us here. If the pur- INTEREST = FROM tore doing any building on this side of the river. He sald, however, that the com- pany would probably in the future con- struct a rural line from Council Bluffs through Pottawattamie county to Gris- wold. He did not look for any move in that direction, however, this year. MUCH TALK OVER TELEPHONES City Council Puts in an Evening, but Takes No Actlon on Fran- ehine The city council met as a committes of the whole yesterday afternoon and after davoting nearly four hours to the discu sion of independent telephone systems ad- journed without taking any action on t two ordinances introduced Monday night, beyond adopting a resolution favoring the connecting of Council Bluffs with the in- dependent telephone companies in this sec- tion of the state. Representatives of the two local inde- pendent companies now asking franchises and of the Bell company were present The committee took up first the propo- sitlon of the Western lowa Independent Telephone, Telegraph & Terminal com- pany, the company headed by Dr. D. Mac- rae, jr., and his assoclates. The discus- sion on this occupied so much of the ses- slon that the committee had to leave the consideration of the proposition of the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone com- pany, the company organized a year ago by H. H. Van Brunt, Bmmet Tinley and others, to another day. During the discussion, It was announced that the tolls of the Macrae company would be as follows: For five miles and under twenty miles, 20 cents; for five miles and under, 15 cents; for twenty miles and over, 25 cents. The tolls, it was explained, are regulated by the assoclation of inde- pendent companles . Alderman Casper wanted a clause in- serted in the ordinance providing for the payment to the city by the company of 3 per cent of its gross earnings, but he failed to secure a second. Several of the aldermen declared the selves as opposed to the establishment of two telephone exchanges in the city and this was taken to indicate that they did not favor the proposition of Van Brunt's company while they did that of its rival, the company formed by Dr. Macrae, which will only establish toll stations and a cen- tral office. Alderman Huber was In favor of the council taking & junketing trip to investi- gate conditions in towns where two op- posing telephone companies were operating, providing the companies now seeking franchises would bear the expense. Both companies agreed to this and Attorney Tinley for his company even went 8o far as to offer to bear the entire expense. A representative of the Nebraska Telephone company also offered on the part of the chase |8 mada the equipment in Couneil Bluffs will be put In improved condition at a cost of probably $50,000, and the gas plant there will be maintained. 8o far as I know, the present deal no connection with the street car merger.

LOZIER AND MOORE GUILTY Jury Says They Were Parti Racing Swindle at W City, M “Guilty as charged in the indictment” was the verdict returned yesterday after- noon by the district court jury in the case of the State of Iowa against Leon Lozler and Ed Moore, charged with conspiring to defraud Charles Gregory and Willlam Barker out of nearly $10,000 in connection with an alleged fake foot race in Webb City, Mo., in January, 1902. This verdict was reached after the jury had been out less than an hour. Judge Thornell in his instructions to the Jury sald that the question of whether Gregory and Barker went to Webb City for the express purpose of conspiring to de- fraud someone elge did not enter into the case and afforded no excuse for the defend- ants defrauding Gregory and Barker. On court reconvening yesterday morning Attorney Sallinger concluded his arguments for the defense and Attorney Burke, who assisted the county attorney in the prose- cution, closed for the state. A recess was then taken to 1:30 p. m., when Judge Thor- nell instructed the jury, which retired shortly after 2 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the Jury sent word that it was ready to report. The court room was crowded with an inter- osted and expectant throng. The verdict was evidently a surprise to the defendants and many of their friends who had looked for an acquittal. Judge Thornell announced that he would pass sentence Friday morning. In the ‘meantime Lozler and Moore are at liberty on the $3,000 bonds which they each fur- nished. They have three days In which to file a motion for a new trial. In the event of a new trial being denied the case will be taken to the supreme court. The case has attracted more than usual attention owing to the prominence given throughout the country of the alleged fake races conducted by the Webb City Athletic club and the court room was crowded daily during the trial. Since Saturday afternoon the jury was constantly in charge of @ balliff, Judge Thornell having been fn- formed that attempts to tamper with it had been made by friends of the accused. The extreme penalty for the crime of which Lozier and Moore now stand con- victed is three years in the penitentiary. DOUBLES ITS CAPITAL STOCK Omaha & Council Blufts Rallway snd Bridge Company Files Amended Articles. The certificate of amendments to the articles of incorporation of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company were filed In the office of the county re- )| corder yesterday by Charles T. Stewart, secretary of the company. The amend- ments were adopted at a meeting of the stockholders on March 2. The effect of one of the amendments s | to raise the capital stock of the company | trom $1,500,000 to $3,000,000, divided into | 30,000 shares of which 15,000 are preferred and 15,000 common stock. The preferred stock will, it the earnin, warrant It, draw | not to exceed 4 per cent. The dividend on | the common stock will depend on what is | left over after the dividend on the pre- 25 | terred stock is pald. Another amendment provides that the company shall operate rallways in Doug- las county, Nebraska and Pottawattamie and Cass counties, lowa, with termini in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Griswold, Cass county, lowa. Under the original articles of incorporation the termini of the com- pany were in Omaha end Council Bluffs. This is taken to Indicate that at some future time the company proposes to com- struct an electric line from Council Biuf through Pottawattamie county to Griswold in Cass county. In speaking of this latter feature yesterday, en officer of the com- LEWIS CUTLER MORTICIAN.

In answer to the statement that the in- dependent companies were unable to es tablish connections with the Bell company, a representative of the Nebraska Telephono company stated that the fault lay with the independent companies. The Bell com- pany, he stated, was willing to accord connections provided Bell 'phones would be used. The 'phones he sald would be leased at & mere nominal rental to the companies and would be installed free of expense to the patron The discussion throughout the entire meeting was more or less informal with the result that the aldermen practically arrived at no decision. Matters in Federal Court. The plaintiff in the personal injury dam- age suit of Myrtle Kester against the Milwaukee railroad in th United States court sprang a surprise on the defense yesterday morning on court reconvening by dismissing the suit without prejudice. Ween court adjourned Monday evening counsel for the plaintift was only partially through his opening argument to the jury. A jury was then impaneled to hear the appeal ot C. D. Boynton from the award of damages given him In condemnation proceedings brought by the Great Western rallroad for Its right-of-way 2t Carroll. The railroad condemned a bullding at Car- roll belonging to Boynton, who is a resi- dent of Arkansas, and the sheriff's jury awarded him $8,500. He demanded $15,000 and appealed. The case was not oon- cluded when court adjourned for the day. Shamrock in Evidence. There was no formal celebration of St. Patrick's day in Council Bluffs this year. There were the usual services in St. Fran- cis Xavier's and St. Peter's Catholic churches. Ribbons and shamrocks were to be seen upon the streots and & few lucky ones sported the real thing. Alderman Tinley was one of the proud wearers of a real bunch of real shamrocks sent him by & friend from the “‘suld sod.” In the even- ing the members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians enjoyed an informal program at their hall over the First National bank. There were a number of impromptu ad- dresses and vocal selections were vendered by George Hughes, Ed Cogley, Miss Rose Brady of Omaha and others.

Burns and John and Cai- rie BaTiesa were accused of murdering Corcoran for his money and leaving nis body in the alley near their boarding house. It is claimed that he was dosed with mor- phine.

On cross-examination he admitted, how- ever, that the heart of Corcoran was ab- normal in condition and that it was so discased that any unusual excitement might have caused his deatk, henmce that it 1Is probable that his death was due to this rather than to the exposur Woman's Medical Soclety. ‘The program has just been issued for the annual state meeting of the only state asso- clation of medical women in the United States.
