READY TO MOVE FIRST OF JULY Melnls Have Several Proposit View, but Bids Will Be Received at Early Date by Post- which 18 now Hazleton more A momentous question giving Postmaster A. S, or less food for thought, is that of where to secure temporary quarters for the Council Bluffs postoffice while the addl- tioh to the federal building is being bulit and while the present bullding itself is being remodeled. Mr. Hazleton received word from Wash- Ington yesterday that the money appro- priated for renting temporary quarters for the postoffice during the work of construction of the additon would be avallable July 1. This information re- sults from correspondence between Mr. Hagleton and the department in Washing- ton In an effort on the part of the post- master to ascertain what time he couid plan on moving the office so that he might receive proposals for temporary quarters, Mr. Hazleton has several propositions for temporary quarters under considera- tion, but as yet has not reached any de- ciston. At one time he planned on se- curing a portion of the Odd Fellows’ bullding on Broadway, but this s not now avallable. He sald yesterday that he was figuring on a large vacant store room and part of the basement in the Merriam block, but had not recelved any definite proposition from the owner of the block yet. Greenshields & Everest are they have informed Mr. Hazleton, Lo erect a temporary structure on Sixth street, opposite the federal bullding. While no formal proposal has been made by this firm, if this could be sultably arranged, the location of the temporary quarters on Sixth street, Mr. Hazleton stated, would be by far the most convenient. Mr. Hazleton, however, will advettise for proposals and the successful bidder will be assured of his rent from July 1, whether his bullding s occupled or rot. The department has appropriated $10,000 to cover the expense of moving and rent of temporary quarters during the pertod of construction of the addition to the federal building. willing, 80 E MAY DECREASE Against Salopns on Recel Tn fixing the appropriations for the main- tenance of the several municipal depart- ments during the fiscal year, which-began April 1, the elty councll based the amounts on an estimated total revenue of $56,000. City officlals are already commencing -to Qquestion whether the probable revenue of the municipality was not placed at too high a mark. The recent crusade by the Anti-Saloon league against the saloons of the city, it is feared, will materially re- duce the recelpts from this source. Since Attorney Odle, counsel for the Towa Anti-Saloon league, commenced his suits agamst the retail liquor dealers, the doors of seven saloons have been closed and others are expected to go out of business under the new order pf things before long. Some of them, It is sald, may reopen, but) Indications are that the revenue from the saloons during the next twelve months will not be as big as that of last year. How to meet this probable deficit is a question which s now troubling the coun~ cllmen and other city officlals. In his communication to the city council relative to the estimated revenue of the city for the new fiscal year, City Troas- urer True sald: “My estimate of the amount that will be avallable this coming year, providing there is no legislation or anything else that will deprive us of the saloon ‘tax that we are now getting is $56,000, but no more.” For the fiscal year just closed the revenue from saloon li- censes was estimated at $30,000, and about that amount was recelved. The same amount was figured pn for the fiscal year just begun. Some of the councilmen are of the opinion that the receipts this year from saloon licenses will not exceed $20,000, or thereabouts. There 18 already some talk among the counctimen of the city being compelied to raise the saloon license in order that the revenue from this source may not be de- creased below the estimate. No action, however, it s sald, will be taken at present. At present the city ‘receives $626.60 from each saloon. The annual mulct tax proper is fixed by statute. Mayor Maloney, in discussing the matter yesterday, declared he was opposed to raising the saloon Ii- cense, as he considered the saloon men al- ready had burdens to bear without adding Jo them. TY'S REVEN Agitation Cuts in Serving Papers in Sutor Case. The papers in the suit brought in the United States court by Samuel Sutor of Cass Lake, Minn., against officers of the First National bank of this city and others, were only served yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Cole. Deputy Cole got service Mr. Hart and Cashier Spindler. He decided to await further word from Sutor's attorneys before serving the papers Ben Marks, who is named as “Benjamin Marsh In one place in the petition. Up to date, Cole has not secured service on George Wilson, named as one of the defendants. Wilson is supposed to have been one of Maybray's assoclates, It is thought here he acted as “stakeholder” for the particular horse race, which re- sulted in Sutor being bumped for $5,000. Cole has no idea that he will be able to get servied on Mr, Wiison It developed yesterday that the papers in \the suit were filed in the office of the clerk of the United States court in Des Moines and then forwarded by him to the office here, This accounts for the petition bearing the notation of having been filed March 30. on on Collection of Curios John W.

PLEA FOR MACBETH Mental Coundition Urged by Defense in Moot Trial at Iowa City. IOWA CITY, Ia, Aprll &—(Special)— Harrowing incldents of the murder of Ban- quo, with all the bloody details were given by Fleance Banquo, impersonated by Ed- ward Allen of Estherville, Ia., in his testi- mony on the witness stand in the mock trial of Macbeth for the murder of Banquo In the University of lowa college of law. The gruesome account was later repeated by John Higglas of Davenport, Ia., who impersonated the first murderer. A ltvely tiit before Judge L. M. Byers took place on the admission of his testimony, it be- ing contended by Attorneys Hemingway, Gabrielson and Herrick, for the defense, that the state had not bullt mp a prima facte case of conspiracy. In his opening statement before the jury, Charles Merrick, a student from Exira, la., outlined the plan by which the defense expects to keep Macbeth from the gallows. “Macbeth's mental condition was such that he was not accountable for his aots,” was one of the statements made by Herrick.

TWENTIETH CENTURLFAHMEH Oune Dollar a Y on | afternoon | Towa (LEGISLATORS ~ GE1 Make an Earnest Effort to Clean Up Pending Business, | BILL AIMED AT LUMBER COMBINE House uts n Q on the Rank te Marshal Bill—Siates Are Heing Made on Educa tional Board, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 3.—(Special.)—The two houses of the legislature went to work today to get rid of a great deal of business, The senate voted down a resoiution by Bruce intended to close debate and forbid action on a bill by unanimous consent with- out following the calendar. The two houses | met in joint assembly and elected some | trustees and regents who will serve only | & short time. These were ¥. O. Newcomb, |as regent of the university in place of Congressman Pickett, resigned W. . C. Howoell as trustee of the teacher's college, in place of J. B. Harsch, who was ap- pointed by Cummins and declined to act and W. H. Harwood of Des Moines, re- elected after appointment by Garet. Refused to Ratse a Salary, The smenate refused to Increase the pay of the state superintendent who now gets $2.200 a year. The bill called for $3,000. An effort to amend and make it 32500 was lost and then the bill was lost The senate agreed to the house plan for changing the name of the State Normal school to the State Teacher's college, then also passed the house resolution authoriz- Ing the trustees to apply for the benefits of the Carnegie pension fund. The senate passed the bill to forbid the giving of immoral plays. Firemen Pension Fand, The house passed the bill to authorize the cities to create a fund for the pension- ing of firemen: also a bill to authorize boards of supervisors to grant the use of highways for electric line poles, and de- feated a bill to appropriate for the care of the grave of Willlam A. Scott. near the state capital. The Historical department appropriation was passed. Atmed at Lumber Combine. The Kull bill, which prohibits combina~ tlons of lumber concerns in Towa and alms @a death blow at the Lumber trust now al- leged to be operating in the state, passed the house today by a three to one vote. Tt provides imprisonment of slx months and a penaity of from $200 to $5,000 for viola- tions of the anti-trust law. State Marshal Bill Dead. This afternoon the house once more laid the Rankin state marshal bill in the grave The bill was taken up and amended in many ways and discursed at length and finally defeated, 68 to 3. It provided for dividing the state into two districts, with a head marshal in each for enforcement of liquor laws. The senate defeated the house bill to penalize the rallronds for failure to comply with orders of the Railroad ~ommission, the effort being to put a stop to the suits brought solely for delay. The house also passed the senate bill on reports from cor- porations with a small annual fee. Tax Commission. The house, at a date so late that little can be expected therefrom, has passed the Harding bill for a tax commission, appro- priating $15,000 for its services, to advise as to how to revisé the taxing laws. The house also passed the bill to create a “conservation commission” and to appro- priate $150 therefor. The house also de- cided upon $10,00 a year for helping out the dairy industry by carrying on an edu- cational campalgn. The senate has not acted on any of these. The house dlsposed of the bill fer the banking department to the office of treasurer of state. The transfer of the insurance department was abandoned long ago, and presumably thers wil be neither readjustment or abolition nor Im- provement nor increase of any department of the state. Board of Education. All sorts of “slates” are being made up for the Board of KEducation which must be submitted to the senate within a few days. As a matter of fact there s littls of the goesip that is anything more than conjecture. The leading senators are not being very liberally consulted. There is general expectation that ex-Senator Funk will go upon the board and virtually be the head, and there s talk that ex-Senator Trewin will also haye a place there. Un- doubtedly Hon. Ole Roe will have a place either on the board or finance committes. There is also pretty nearly a certainty that ex-Benator Tom Lambert wiil be one of the democratic members. Beyond this there 1s not much that is krows Safeblowers at Waukee. Robbers last night broke open the safe in the postoffice at Waukee, fifteen miles south of Des Moines, and secured $430 in cash and stamps. The robbety occurred at 3 a. m., and at the first explosion the whole town woke up and went for the rob- bers.

O. Jolly of Dixon, Neb., at a Sloux Clty hospital today. Suffering from lockjaw, the physician was brought to Bloux City several weeks ago. Accord- |ing to physicians .who were constantly at his bedside, paralysis of the respiratory organs was the exact use of ‘death. Dr. Jolly was engaged In breaking up kindling wood when he received the injury. He gave the wound some attention, but did not open it for fear that it would hinder him in attending his practice, He is sur- vived by a widow and five children. Scrateh PILLAGE HOUSE FOR QUIZ PAPERS Residence of Pharmacy Ransacked at Webster WEBSTER CITY, Ia., April 8—(Special.) When B. F. Keits, state pharmacy com- missioner, returned home from Des Molnes today he found his beautiful north side home rifled from cellar to garret. Entrance had been effected through a basement coal window. Drawers and boxes throughout the house had been gone through and even the bed covers removed from the bed: Mauraders had almost turmed the house inside out in a mad search for something. What they were after is thus far a mystery, as nothing has been missed. Valuables were left untouched. Just prior to leaving for Des Moines the commissioner had com- pleted making out the examination sched- ule for the April examination of the Pharmacy board. Mrs. Keltz accompanied him to Des Motnes. The examination que: tioms, however, had not been left in the house, but had been placed in a safety vault. The police suspect the occurrenc was an attempt to get hold of the April Exam ity. \ P BUSY | Towa examination . board questions of the Pharmacy Drainage District Formed. HUMBOLDT, Neb., April 3—(Special.)— The creation of drainage district No. 2 has been mccomplished, the distriet court under Judge Raper having handed down a de- cision to that effect after listening to argu- ments and evidence pro and con for over three days. The district comprises about 6,000 acres of land along the Nemaha val- ley adjacent to Humboldt. The project Is to unite with drainage district No. 1 to the east In stralghtening the channel of the river to prevent overflows and hasten the draining of flood waters. Practically all the owners of land affected by the freshets are enthusiastically in favor of the.project and steps will be at once taken to perfect the organization by electing officers and securing the services of Engineer Munn to make the survey. The district extends to the Pawnee county line and residents of that and Johnson county were on hand during this hearing with a view to perfect- ing silimar organizations along the stream farther up. This will cover the course of the river to within a short distance of its source and It is believed wiil greatly en- hance the value of the valley farms, which now are frequently rendered useless through high water. « is Postponed. MINDEN, Neb, April 3.—(Special)— District court is now in session There is little work being done because of the calling of the grand jury. Bert Taylor was arrigned for the murder of Vear) Taylor on April 28 of last year. E. G. Hamer of Kearney and J. L. McPhealey of Minden were appointed to defend. From the preliminary motions made by the attorneys for a continuance it wup- pears that insanity will be the defense The defendant made a motion for a con tinuance because two important wit nesses, Drs Jones and Martin, are now in Vienna, Austria, taking a post-gradu- ate course. The case was continued until some time in the latter part of May. Taylor seems somewhat thin, but other- wise appears as usual when he lived in Minden. His conduct prior to the wmur- der was that of the most orderly citizen Taylor seems to have no one who be- friends him. It is not known whather his brother will be here. It is antici- pated that the next move by the defense will be to get a change of venue to sume other county. Taylor Danes to Visit Old Country.

It is golng to mean something for a town to be on the route of the excur- slons of the future. The plan is to take the moving plcture camera with Charles Martin as operator and make pictures of the business strecis of the towns and any scenes which citizens may point out to the Omahans. Arrangements have been made to send the films thus secured around the lung ciroult of moving plcture show houses, those close at home as well as those In all parts of the country. The films will travel untll they are worn out Before each coene will be the name of the town or city in which it was taken The excursion goes out the last of May. 1t will be equipped with thousands of feet of moving plcture film. The trip will be through western and northwestern Iowa stopping at more than one hundred towns and citles. From the time the train starts from Omaba untll it returns the moving plcture camera will be busy. When the train pulls back to Omaha the story of th. entire trip will be recorded. The films will be shown in Omaha. The plan 18 (o secure the auditorium for several evenings and give a gigantic moving picture show, which will enable those who stay at home to see views in all the towns and cities visited the arrival of the trade excursionists, thels work, reception, farewell and the train run ning through the fertile valleys and across the green prairies of lowa. It will make & moving plcture show decidedly original’ in its plan Then the films will be started on thetr long trip around the country, returning to Omaha where they will be shown many nights at the Ak-Sar-Ben den. When SBamson releases them after Ak- Sar-Ben closes, they will make another clrcult of the west and return to be ex- hibited at the Natlonal Corn exposition in December That the films will be popular there is no doubt. It 1s expected the towns In lTowa will be among the first to want the films to show in thelr own houses. Taking plctures will not be all the features which the Commercial club will have. The excursion will carry & complete moving plcture show as It aid last year. Shows will bo given In five lowa towns, Jefferson, Lake City, Ida Grove, LeMar and Fort Dodge. The are the towns where the excursionists happen to spend the five enings of the trip The moon has promised to be good and dark during the entire weck, as it was last year, thus assuring the success of the sho As Omaha was the first city to run (rade excursion: the wholesalers and jobbers who go on them have been originating mew year. Last year it was to glve the shows, this It 18 to take pletures. The shows which will be given will give scenes In Omaha, along the busi ness streets, In the resldence section, along the boulevards and through the parks Stock Yard scehes are also a feature of the moving pleture show program.
