ACCIDENT WINS STRIKE
WORKMEN ON GREAT WESTERN
BRIDGE WILL RETURN TO WORK.

A difficulty with the foreman and some
dispute as to the scale of wages were
responsible for the striking Of the union
structural iron workers employed on the
repairs to the Chicago Great Western
bridge last Tuesday. The men were out
until yesterday afternoon, when an ac-
cident won them the point for which they
were contending.
Owing to the substitution of inexpe-
rienced workmen, an iron beam weighing
five tons was allowed to drop into the
river, and the strikers were at once sent
for. They agreed to return for 321a cents
per hour and the discharge of a nom
union workman, and these concessions
were at once granted. The strikers will
therefore be seen at work this morning.

ADVOCATE GOOD ROADS
CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN COUN-
GIL CHAMBER THIS AFTERNOON.

A good roads conference will be held
in the council chamber this afternoon.
Invitations were yesterday extended to
the committee on streets of the two coun-
Gil bodies, the city and county attorney
and members of the board of county
commissioners to be present
The conference was called by Mayor
Smith and is for the purpose of making
an effort to secure for st. Paul partici-
patton in the $4,000 that the commits
sioners will spend next year on roads and
bridges. St. Paul, Mayor Smith says,
pays 95 per cent of the taxes raised for
the use of the county, and he thinks it
only proper that a portion of the fund
be spent on improving the roads where
they connect with the city limits.

Cedar Rapids. Dec. 10-Coroner
Ranck is investigating the death Of Mrs
Martin Toeller of this city, who sufcided
at the county home a week ago last
Saturday, by hanging, but whose death
was not reported to the coroner, as the
law provides. It is said that Superin-
tendent kibbee lays the blame for the
negligence in reporting the case to
Oyerseer Snouffre, and 1t. is understood
that that official claims he could not
reach the coroner by telephone when
the death was reported to him.
It seems that Mrs. Toeller had been Ill
for some weeks and that her mental
condition was bad. 1t is said that only
a few days ago she was apprehended by
her husband while in the act of prepar-
ing to take her own life and that of an
other member of the family. She had
been in the county hospital only few
days. and strict orders had been given
TO watch her movements closely. 1t is
said that Mr.. Toeller paid extra to have
his wife given the best possible care.
Coroner Ranck did not hear of the
case until late last week, when he COM
an investigation. getting several
Of the Toeler family together yesterday.
He holds that Superintendent Kibbee
had no right to even move the body un-
til the coroner was summoned and had

er an inquest was necessary. What
right Overseeer Snouffer had to order

not understand. BIT he has asked Coun-

enough to satisfy II. b. Carpenter, for

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 10-The university of
Iowa board of athletic control closes the
present calendar year in debt. Manager
Fred G. MoCutcheon announces that in
order to provide good schedule for the
base ball team next spring, the stu
dents will have to raise money by join
ing the athletic association which has
become a dead letter at Iowa or by
subscription. The debt that faces the
board of control is not a large one and
is more than covered by the value of
improvements on Iowa field. The debt
has, in fact been created by the sXten-
sive improvements made upon the ath-
letic field. The football team had
sore successful season than ever but
o-sse base ball and track teams lost 81 600
between them and the improvements
made in erecting large grandstand
and in cindering the the track and max
ing the new foot ball field have used up
more money than was made on foot

The foot ball season, while profitable
was not the source of revenue which
had been expected of it. The foot ball
was slightly disappointing in financial
way at lest, so far as can be learned.
Even the University Of Michigan closes
