Condition of Police Fund.
Another matter discussed during the
meeting of the committee of the whole was
the condition OF the police fund and the
advisablity of taking some steps 20 increase
the revenue. 1t was suggested that slot
machines be licensed and the sum be placed
at S. month. Such a suggestion at once
brought Mayor Jennings to his feet with a
vigorous protest. lie said. acting on the
advice OF the chief Of the police, he had
ordered out all slot machines and that un
der no circumstances would he permit them
TO go back again. One of the aldermen had
the temerity to call the mayors attention
to the fact that in the eyes of the public his
policy was not regarded as entirely con-
sistent, inasmuch as he not only permitted
houses of illfame to flourish in connection
with certain saloons on the principal thor
oughtare OF the city but levied every month
a fine of So from the inmates thereof. this
particular source of revenue going to help
swell his pet hobby-the police fund. The
only answer the mayor is said to nave had
TO make TO this was that {, was a very
different matter. While this matter was
allowed TO drop It is understood that GER
tain aldermen are determined that II the
mayor persists in refusing to permit legiti-
mate trade machines to run that all these
houses OF illfame run in connection with sa-
looms shall be closed and kept closed.

Prospect of Getting Onc-Fourth of
Their Money Attracts Many Peopic.


Their Money Attracts Many People.
Acting on the order made by Judge Their
nell of the district court Saturday. Receiver
Murphy commenced yesterday morning pay
ing the dividend of % per cent to the cred .
itors of Officer d Puseys bank. As soon as
1t became known that the receivers were
ready to pay off the dividend, creditors
commenced to flock to the bank and there
was string Of them ten feet deep in line
until Mr.. Murphy was compelled to close
the doors, about o'clock last evening. In
order that he may have time to keep the
books and accounts up, Receiver Murphy
announced yesterday that he would be com
PEELED to observe regular banking hours
while paying the dividend, and that COM
mencing today the doors would be closed
at o'clock in the afternoon.
The rush of creditors anxious TO receive
their money commenced shortly after Re-
ceiver Murphy's arrival at the bank, but
1t was not until afternoon that he COM
menced to issue any checks. This de- y
was due to a misunderstanding on the pa .
of the receiver as to Judge Thornell's or
der regarding those creditors whose claims
had been declared preferred ones The re-
ceivers having made report, giving a list
of the preferred claims to the court were
this class of creditors, they should be paid
in the order listed and not as the claim
ants happened to drop in for their share.
After securing the advice OF their attor-
neys the receivers decided that they had
formed a wrong opinion and commenced
to pay out as each creditor presented his
claim.
The work OF calculating the amount TO
be paid applicants took considerable time.
| as Receiver Murphy had to do all the work
alone and had no time since the order was
made by the court Saturday to do any
figuring He succeeded, however, in pay
ing out $1,000 yesterday afternoon to sew
enty creditors. The money being on de-
posit in the Council Bluffs Savings bank a
check in each instance had to be drawn
on that institution and a receipt taken
This consumed considerable time.
At the time the receivers filed their re-
port, January 3, the cash in their hands
amounted TO $l7904l.3S. Since then col
lections made by them have increased the
amount to slS7O In round numoers the
indebtedness of the bank amounts to S6l9,-
600, so that the payment OF the 20 per cent
dividend will consume S15i, $50, leaving over
s3l 900 to pay the preferred claims with
The claims which have been allowed pref
erence by the court to date amount to a
little over s2s.OOO
Receiver Murphy says II will take from
two TO three weeks to pay the % per cent
dividend as the depositors entitled to IL are
scattered all over the country. One claim
received yesterday morning WAS from
creditor now living in Boise City, Idaho.

not include saloons which are not doing
business legally. As soon as this was dis
covered the friends of Mrs. Nation secured

Nation comes to Des Moines. II is on the
