The crowd. largely composed of representative business men, professional men, younx men prominent in the work of the Young Men's ; Christian assoclation, pastors of the city churches and well known chureh men, filled the council chamber and overflowed Into the hallway. The ordinance was_sent to the commlittee of the whole. Probably the strongest appeal on benalf | of the passage of the ordinance was made by Rev. Marcus P, McClure, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, who spoke dis- | passionately, but with telling effect. Rev. | Mr. McClure declared that there was a! strong, positive public sontiment in favor | of the ordinance. which had been drafted and submitted to the council by the city solicltor at the request of those favoring stricter regulation of the pool halls. Major G. H. Richmond, chief of police, on being called upon, expressed the opinion | that the closing of the pool halls at mid- night and on Sundays would fulfill every requirement. Minors, he said, were not permitted by the police in these plac and that, in fact, under a strict Interpreta- tion of the city ordinances, evidently refer- ring to the curfew ordinances, boys were not permitted in any places of amusement alone after 9 o'clock at night W. H. Killpack, a member of the Board of Kducation, Also spoke strongly in favor { of the ordinance, and a communication to the councll urging its passage from George McMahon and others was read. TLouls Feblowitz, who conducts a pool hall at Fifth avenue and Twenty-first street, attempted to address the.council in opposi- tlon to the proposed ordinance, but his efforts were reccived with more or less * yidicule by the crowd. The ordinance as submitted oy Mr. Kimball provides for the closing of the pool halls on Sundays and at 11 o'clock at night on week days. While the state jaw prohibits “minors” from being in pool halls the ordinance permits youths over 18 years to play in them. There are minor regulations. The ordinance was sent to the committee of the whole. An ordinance amending a present ordi- nance which Is suggestive of covering a dusky hued individual biding in the pro- verblal woodplle was introduced and passed to its third reading when it was on motlon of Councilman Jensen laid over for one week. The measure in ques- tion is designed to place the street com- missioner divectly and solely under the direction of the city councll Instead of the mayor, whose appointee he s under the law.

Mitchell ~=Minor Questions of System That the office of treasurer tawattamie county during the two-year term of James W. Mitchell ending Decem- ber 31, 1908, s the best conducted treas- urer's offic of which we have any knowledge' declare the experts of the National Accounting company of Des Moines, who checked up the books and accounts of terms expired with the new year This report was recelved yesterday by thé Board of Supervisors, which met in ad- journed regular session. No shortage was found in any of the offices, although some of the incumbents are shown to be indebted to the county in small amounts through errors and omissions in the bookkeeping. W. C Cheyne, former county auditor, is shown by the experts to owe the county 375.64, but there is not the slightest implica- tion that this comparatively small sum was misappropriated. It is merely, the experts explain, the result of errors in bookkeeping. | Mitehell's Books Perfect. | In their report on Treasurer Mitchell's office the experts also say that the books were found by them to have been | kept in an almost perfect manner a a they paid a high compliment (o Mr. Mitchell and his force of deputies and clerks. In the office of former Sheriff Can- ning the accounts are found to be ~orrect, and the experts lake occaslon to pay W. A. Groneweg, the office deputy, a hizh compliment. Attention, however, is called to the fact that in allowance for ex- penses In insane and criminal cases which are provided by law no itemized vouch- ers appear to have been filed with (ne auditor by the sheriff. The attention of the board is called to the fact that no charge of feeding and lodging prisoners for less than a full day was made by the sheriff, The law allows the sheriff to charge 12% cents a meal for three meals a day and 121 cents lodging a day for each prisoner. The cxperts suggest that all bills should be itemized 50 as to show the number of meals supplied each pris- oner in the county jall. Ne Record of Fees. In the recorder's office the experts re- port tinding no record made by G G. Baird, the former incumbent, of fees re- | ceived for transcripts and certificates. Al- though the amount involved Is small, they , it belongs to the county and not to the recorder. Mr. Baird's reports to of Pot- | all the county officers whose | three men will, it is expeoted, taken back to Boone some time today. Real Estate Tra transfers ers, These Abstract company John G.

April 20.—(8peclal gram.)—Lightning yesterday struck the German Lutheran church here, going down the tower and tearing a hole in the roof, putting the lighting plant out of com- mission.

Peterson sued for 320,000 for injuries received while in the company's employ. the board show that in 1908 he turned over $19.60 to the county as fees from such sources, although no record of the receipts were found in his books, .t is sald, The report on the office of the clerk of the district court during the Incumbency of H. J. Chambers, who was appointed by the court to succeed H. V. Battey, is to the effect that the books and accounts were kept In excellent shape. The ex- perts recommend for the convenience of both the clerk and the patrons of the of- fice that a ledger account be opened with each attorney doing business with the office. System Re le for Errors. I the auditor's office the experts re- port finding many clerical errors which they suggest are the result largely of the system of entering claims against the county on the claim register. In connec- tlon with this office the attention of the board is called to the apparent lack of effort to collect front relatives and oth- ers responsible the expense of caring for insane patients which had been pald out by the county. In four years, the report says, the care of 330 such patients was charged up to Pottawattamie, while only in thirteen cases has there been any at- tempt to secure reimbursement to the county. No action was taken by the board on the report yesterday. The contract for cleaning and redecorat- ing the upper floor and court rooms of the county court house was awarded to H. A. Musselman on his bid of $1,450. There were five other bids ranging up 486.
