Council Bluffs RIEHMOND CASE COES OVER Defendant and Court Both Agreeable to More Delay, CHIEF NOT YET RECOVERED Thursday April 26 Date Fixed for Re- sumption of Testimony Com- tingent om Official’'s Re- eovery, The hearing in the removal proceedings against Major George H. Richmond, chief of police, will not be resumed this morning | in the district court as originally planned. A continuance to Thursday, April 25, has been agreed upon on account of the con- | tinued indisposition of Major Richmond who hme mot fully recovered from his recent attack of heart failure. and aleo on account of the fact that the further pos ponement of the hearing will suit the convenience of Judge Woodruff and of counsel on both sides. At first it was suggested by counsel for Major Richmond when it became apparent that the iatler would not be well enough to resume his place on the witnese stand to- day to postpone the hearing for another weel. This was satistactory to Attorney Gerenal Byers, but when Judge Woodrutt, who is hoiding court in Avoca was com- munieated with, it was learned that it would better suit his convenience if the Bearing was postponed to a later date. Ac- | Pordingly Thursday, April 23 was the date * for the resumption of the hearing con- tingent on Major Richmond being at that time suficiently recovered to attend court. Major Richmond was down town for & short while Friday, but has not been able Jo lsave his home since. He is still quite weak from the effects of the severe at- tack & week ago, although his condition yesterday was reported to be somewhat im- wroved.

The mayor of Budapest | and representatives from all the socleties | in the city were there to meet Colonel | Roosevelt when he stepped out on the plat- form, while hundreds of raiiroad men from the yards clambered on top of the train to take part in the demonstration. The university students massed outside the building sang the Star Spangled Ban- ner as the ex-president was whisked away to his hotel, through solid walls of people who had walted patiently in the rain to see the distinguished American pass. At the hotel another multitude had gathered and refused to depart until Colonel Roose- velt appeared on the balcony to acknowl- edge the greetings. In his brief speech to the crowds around the hotel, he reiterated what he had said throughout the day In reply to the words of welcome that had greeted him at va- rious points. He recognized, he sald, the courage, devotion and chivalry of the Hun- garians, and he especially pleased them when he declared that one who lived as he hal among the .cattiemen of the great west could best appreciate the extraor- dinary character of the descendants of horsemen, who had followed - Arpad, the magic national hero, into the plains of Central Burope. . After all was over tonight, Colonel Roosevelt said that his reception re- minded him of demonstrations he had wit- nessed at the height of a hot political cam- paign at home. He could only account for it on the theory that to the Hungarians he represented the idea deeply rooted in America of liberty and human rights. The Hungarians evidently were deter- mined to show Colonel Roosevelt that he had tomched. their hearts and to make his reception as different as possible from that in Vienna. - Although- ostensibly the guest of Ambassador Hengelmuller Von Henger- var, the ex-president is in reality the guest of the Hungarian goverament.

Although inclined at first to side with the youngsters, Mayor | Gaynor has recently signified his intention | of upholding the order prohibiting the sale | of fireworks at retafl from June 10 to | practically prevent | crackers and the like from reaching the individual exploder, as it were, and if the | order is upheld to the letter, the city will be quiet, where ordinarily it is llke a battletield.

Rice of this city, a ploneer | crusader against noise, and the president of the Society for the Prevention of Un- necessary Noise, is largely responsidble for the attempt to have the next Fourth of July devoted to oratory and parades rather than to the explosion of gunpowder. She has enlisted twenty-three governors and a national assoclation for a sane observation of Independence day and is still engaged in promoting the movement.
