Hol- After eleeting the above officers for the ensuing year and selecting Fort Dodge as the place of meeting for 1811, yesterday afternoon the Iowa Independent Telephone assoclation completed the business of its annual convention, No action was taken by the convention In the matter of merging the independent telephone companies of the state along the line proposed by the Nebraska association. The Matter was generally discussed, but the urgent need of such an incorporation was not de8med necessary at this time, a pendent systems of the state may be ef- fected at a later date. The matter of tak- ing steps to incorporate the several inde- pendent companies was referred to the ex- ecutive committee, which will prepare the necessary papers and report back at the convention next year. The Ilowa independent teiephone com- panies, It was stated, aiready have a cldse organization and, although they are not in- corporated, the convention id not feel that such a step was of such immediate import- ance in Iowa' as it apparently was In Ne- braska. No Contest on Election. The election of officers was made on the recommendation of & nominating commit- tee, of which F. J. Day, president of the Council Bluffs Independent company, was chairman. There was no contest and the report of the committee was unanimously adopted. Ottumwa was in the field for the 1911 convention, but withdrew from the contest when {ts representatives realized that oFrt Dodge was favored by a majority of the members. Ottumwa, however, will ga after the 1912 convention, and, In fact, was prac- tically assured that it will get the meeting that year. Following the withdrawal of Ottumwa the selection of Fort Dodge as the meeting place for next year was by unanimous vote. Resolutions were adopted thanking P. C. Holdoegel of Rockwell City, the retiring president, for his efficient administration of the office; expressing appreciation for the royal reception and entertainment ten- dered the delegates In this city, and thank- ing the manufacturers of telephone equip- ment for their interest and financial sup- port. A resolution was also adopted ap- proving the mutual insurance plan pre- sented by J. B. Hoge of Cleveland, O. Beyond the election of officers and se- lection of next year's meeting plake, the assoclation transacted but little business yestgrday, as many of the delegates were anxious to take the trains for their respec- tive homes. % PUPILS ENTER HIGH SCHOOL Third Year Promotions from Grades Toake FPlace.

This was de- clded upon vesterday noon at the Grand hotel, when several business men met at the Invitation of Mayor Maloney to discuss the proposition. The sentiment of the mect- ing was unanimous in having another street fair and carnival (A September and no time will be lost in getting preparations startod. The proceeds of the carnival, it was de- clded, will be usedsto defraying the ex- penses of the National Hortieultural Frult exposition. If any balance remains it will be used In improving the roads leading Into the oity. Those who met.with Mayor Malenay and discussed the proposition around the lunchi eon table were E. H. Doolittle, chairman of the executive committeq of the Commer. clal club; J. P. Hgss, president of the Na tional Horticultural congtess; Freeman L. Reed, geoneral superintendent of the Fruit exposition, and H. A. Quinn, Charles' Beno and B. M. Sargent, directors-bf the old Council Bluffe Street Fair, and Carnival company. We will have a carnivar again this fall,” sald Mayor Maioney after the luncheon. “All present at the meeting expressed themselves as Jn favor of It and arrange- ments will be made for ii this coming week. Some Of the carnival committee were out of the olty and could not at- tend the meeting, but they n-vu\;; ox~ pressed themselves as favoring the pFoposl- tion.” “The officers of the Natlonal Horticul- tural congress will assist in the move- ment,” declared Mr. Hess. “We are golng to have the carnival and, of eourse, it will be to our Interest to help all we can. If We are to have a successfui fruit show agaln this“year we should be assured of from $3,000 to _$5,000 to meet any deficit that might arise.

Ketchum yesterday when asked what course he intended pursuing relative to the demand of a Des Moines paper that he resign because of the com- mission’s action in the case brought before the Interstate Commerce commission by the Corn Belt Meat Producers’ assoclation, Mr. Kefchum sald he had not seen the article In question, but had read some references to it in the Kansas City papers. The actlon of the board, Mr. Ketchum sald, was a matter of record at all times as no desire to-keep the ma ter secret. In fact, he supposed the meat praducers’ representative had a ocopy of the resolution referred to and which caused the trouble. Mr. Ketchum made this statement yester- day while in Council Bluffs for a few hours. between trains on his way home from San Antonio, Tex., where he attended the con- ventlon of the Natfonal Assoclation of State Rallway Commissioners. He sald that he would be in Counefl Bluffs in about two weeks and at that time would be glad to confer with the business men of the city on any matters that might properly come before the commisston.

Liguor and Went to Knowiig that Trouble Was Probable—Young Lad’s Story. LOGAN, Ta, Jan. 22.—(Special Telegram.) ~That Guy Marley, whe Wil his father, | Henry Marley, is on trial for killing his step-mother, Mrs. Henry Marley In a drunken rage on December 2, was not re- sponsible, because he was drunk and had been addicted to the use of liquor for twelve years together with the contention that the shooting waa aceldental, consti- tuted the final closing efforts of the de- fense which rested at 3 o'clock Friday aft- ernoon. The defense was spurred to a last desperate effort, when the state played its high card In presenting the testimony of Ira Brundridge, who turned against his co-defendants when the charges against Him were dismissed. Brundridge' told a bitter, tragic story of sfckening detalls surrounding the crime, His testimony completed the state’s chain and the arguments by the defenge fol- lowed. County Attorney Burke and J. J. Hess of Councll Bluffs, who have con- ducted the prosecution, will make thelr Arguments in the morning. It is expeoted the case will go to the jury by noon. The Introduction of Brundridge's testl- mony was a sudden move on the part of the state and one for which the defense had not prepared. Brundridge on the witness stand told of his visit to the Marley home at the time the shooting took place. He and Guy Mar- ley had bought two jugs of whisky at Dow City, golng to Logan, where they stayed all night oh December 1. They went to the Marley home in the morning of the next day “@uy was kind o' sore before we went in the house,” said 'Brundridge, telling his startling tale. I asked him to stop carry- Ing on and he sald :‘Thore'll bs a cleaning up around here if I ain't let alone.’ “Then we went into the house, me fol- lowing Guy. I saw him with the gun in his hund. Mrs. Marley was trying to get him to stop smashing up the furniture and dishes. I went on Into the bedroom, “In a minute or two I heard a shot. I laid down on the bed and went to sleej ‘Went to sleep!” exclaimed an attorney, es. 1 dldn't see who was shot S who did the shooting." Monte Marley, the young son of the dead woman, outwitted the attorneys for the de- fense, ‘while on the stand yesterday after- noon. The little chap told a concise tale of the part of the affair that came under his observation, “Memma was always afrald of Guy, all the time," he sald, simply. The boy's tone pictured the abject terror of the dead woman's life In their home with the drunken stepson. Monte told of a day when Guy Marley threatened his mother with a knife, and of her flight to the home of a neighbor. “I ran out of the nousé when I saw Guy pick up the gun,” he sald. “I went into the orchard, and then I heard the shot, Mamma éame running ont. n. I am #hot,' was aH she sald.” \ The boy ran on ahead of his“Mother, ac- cording to his story, to the home of the Weatherly family to summon ald. The defense gave the boy a merciless, searching ordeal of questions, which falled to shake him from his simple statements. “Monte, how aid you and your mother get through the wire fenges on the way to Weatherly's?" asked ad attorney, beginning his rapld fire of sharp queries, “We never went through the tences,” replied the boy. \ “Was not your house focated back In the tields and surrounded by wire fences, and were there not intervening fences between your home and that of Mr. Weatherly's?"" asked the attorney. “Yes," replied the lad. wire Every eye before Monte Marley in the packed court room was now. turned upon him, as it seemed apparent that he had finally been trapped. A burst of applause greeted the lad's re- ply, notwithstanding the admonitions of the Judge.

If the Liberals are victorious, it means that the Lloyd‘George budget will stand, and that the House of Lords will cither be abolished or so reformed as to make it entirely ineffective in legislation. If the Conserv- atives win, it means that the House of Lords will be given the power to veto financial legislation in Parliament, a power not exercised since the day of Cromwell and Charles 1. Further- more, a Liberal victory will mean the adherence of the British nation to 2 pregram of social reform which includes the prin- ciple of the single-tax and other features which are termed merica. A Conservative victory, on the other hand, will mean an abandonment of the Free which England, alone of all the nations, now clings.

PLEDGES MUST BE REDEEMED Carter, Penrose and Crane Are Sum- moned to the White House and Asked About Postal Save ings B, | WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—President Taft read In the papers Friday that the senate was marking time while the nouse s strug- gling with the various appropriation bills. S0 he sent-for Senators Penrose of Penn- sylvania, Crane of Massachusetts and Car- ter of Montana and asked why it would not be & good thing for the senate to ‘“‘get busy” on some of the measures ha has recommended. Senetor Aldrich, being ab- sent from the clty, was not included In the summons. 4 The president broached the subject of the postal savings bank bill. All three of the senaiors thus summoned to the White House this afternoon are members of the commitfee on postoffices and postroads.’ Mr. Penrose is chalrman. Senator Carter is sponsor for the measure, But some sen- ators, it was suggested in reply to the president, are not warm advocates of postal banks. In fact, it Was sald that such states as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania “—great strongholds of savings institutions —arg' not at all In favor of the scheme. But, the president argued, the republican platform called £or postal savings banks, and surely the sehators were going to re- deem the party pledges. House is All Right, But what about the house? propounded as a poser, President Taft 1s sald Yo have assured the senators that they heed not worry about the house. It is said that there Iy every reason to believe that the house ls This was ! coming- around all right; that its members are coming Lo the president for the very good reason that they have no other place to 80, YAt b, s a case of water running down sadd one of the president's callers *He does not have to go to the regulars or the insurgents, either. They have got to come to him. Every man on Capitol hill is leoking for another term and he's got to have something to go before the peopie on. Congress has got to do something and all the republicans, regard- less of the fight against Cannon or the rules committee, are going to vote for Mr. I'aft's measure; 8o _it happened Crane end Carter when Messrs. Penrose, left the White House, the latter acting as spokcsman for the trio, declared: ““The postal savings bank proposition will become a law at this session.’” The postal banks, however, will ngt be the first of the Taft measures considered. The president ranks his recammendations for changes In the Interstate commerce law as of first importance and he so indicated his position to the senators this afternoon. The president told his callers also that he regarded at least one of the conserva- tion bills he-has recommended to congress as of prime importance. This is the bill to validate the withdrawal of lands con- tatming water power sites, coal and phos- phates. The laws a8 to the disposition of these lands can be worked out and threshed over at the convenlence of con- Eress. The important thing, the president be- fleves, is to validafe the withdrawals which are made under the former admin- istration and under the ten months of the present administration under the shadowy power of the secretary of the interior. The president wants this power to be meade unquestionable. The valuable Alaska coal lands are included in the withdrawals back this word to the capitol late today and passed it along the line. President Taft believes that the senate should go ahead with these three measures at onoe, and then, he says, the house can get them in some sort of shape, can have the bene- fit of the senate discussion and ocan put the measures through in short time once the supply bills are disposed of. The president is confident that Senator Aldrich will do all he can to further the passage of the, postal savings bank blll. This bill, it Is argued, will give the leader of the senate an opportunity to show to the people of the country that they are to get their share of the benefits of forthcoming financial legislation, Mr, Aldrich is anxious to secure the sup- port of the country for the new currency laws and the new central bank of lssue, or whatever form the legislation may take, and the president belleves the best way to secure this support is to provide for the postal banks. The president belleves, first of all, that the postal banks will not inters fere to any appreciable extent with the savings banks which pay from 8 to 4 per cent as against the 2 per €ent Interest pro- posed to be paid by government deposi- tories. Hé belleves the government banks will bring out many millions of dollars now resting In stockings and sewed up In mattresses by tmid and thrifty people. He thinks also it will prevent the great outflow of cash to European banks each year. Argument to Banks, The argument to the banks and financieys 1s that the deposits In the government banks will permit the government to take up the $780,000,000 of 2 per cent government bonds that have been lssued and which are a drug on the market.
