Provision which VIII - City some
Revenue In Return for Privilege
One Certain Feature of

The Council Bluffs Independent Telephone
company has already two competitors In the
field. Vic Stevens, president OF the Du-
buque Telephone company, and Charles
Webster Of the firm Of Webster Bros, Min
neapolis, are In the city for the avowed
purpose Of submitting to the city council
propositions similar to that Of the Council
Bluffs Independent Telephone company.
with this competition on foot 1t IL now al
most an assured fact that no telephone
franchise will be granted unless the city
derives a reasonable revenue from such
grant.
So far Mr.. Stevens has made no move, but
stated yesterday that he was simply looking
the ground over. He intlmated, however,
that he might have a proposition to make
to the city council at its meeting Monday
night.
Charles Webster Of Minneapolis, who is
here looking the ground over, is a telephone
company promoter. The Arm Of which he
is a member has. he stated yesterday, con-
structed 5000 miles Of combined telegraph
and telephone system. He expects to or
ganize an Independent company here and in
Omaha and apply for franchises in both
cities. His attorney, A. L. Waterbury Of
Minneapolis, arrived In the city yesterday
and is understood to be drafting an ordi-
nance which will be introduced at the meet
ing Of the city council Monday night.
With Stevens and Webster both IN the
held 1t Is almost certain that the city coun-
ell Will make several changes in the ordi-
nance of the Council Bluffs Independent
Telephone company before permitting 1t to
go before the people to be voted on. This
statement was made by several Of tine alder
men yesterday. In the first place, 1t is I'M
derstood that the life Of the franchise VIII
be reduced from thirty-hve to twenty five
years and that the company will be re-
quired to pay the city a certain per cent OF
Its gross earnings in return for the valua-
Bile franchise. II was said that since the
arrival Of Mr.. Webster in the city the
Council Bluffs Independent Telephone COM
pany had practically decided to acquiesce in
the insertion OF such a provision in the or
dinance and that 1t would agree to a roy
atty OF 3 per cent of its gross earnings.
G. A. Cosgrove OF Mason City. Ia. was in
the city yesterday for the purpose. It is said,
OF looking over the ground with a view to
submitting a telephone proposition to the
city council. Mr.. Cosgrove until recently
was superintendent Of the Iowa and Dakota
division Of the Milwaukee railroad.

County Supervisor Baker stated yester-
day that nothing would induce him TO re-
cede from the position he had taken in
regard to the road fun levied within the
city limits. Under no circumstances, he
said, would he agree to turn over go per
cent to the city treasury for the city to
expcnd as II liked. The law, he said. did
not contemplate any such disposition of
the fund. While the law Ia that the por-
tion Of the county road fund levied within
the city limits shall be expended under
the direction Of the city council, Colonel
Baker says he is OF the opinion that the
law contemplated that the money should
be expended in improving the roads lead
ing into the city and not on the streets OF
thoroughfsres within the city.
Colonel Baker stated that be would like
to see the question taken to the supreme
court. When asked II he would do such
work as the city council might direct with

pend. but Le did not believe he would
consent to expend the entire IS, 700 within
the city unless ordered to do 60 by q man

Havana Court Admits American to Bail Of

ton for Pardon of All Amer
leans in Cuban JaiIs.

HAVANA, April 19.-At a late hour this
afternoon the AUDIENCES court accepted the
bond OF 500, 600 offered by a hdelity com
pany for the appearance OF Estes G. Rath-
bone. The court, however, requires thai
this bond be drawn before a notary. This
involves much time and expense, as the
notary's fees and a state tax must be paid.
Rathbone's attorneys insist that the ha-
beas corpus proceedings be continued and
claim the bond should be drawn before the
court as is customary without further de-
lay or further expense. In the habeas
corpus petition Rathbone's attorneys do
clare the courts delay illegal and intimate
that the court may be impeached for such
action.
The habeas corpus proceedings will be
heard tomorrow. A number of Cuban SEN
ators and representatives-elec have sent
a telegram to President-elect Palma, at
Gibara, petitioning him to ask the United
States to pardon all Americans now under
arrest in Cuba. Rathbone's case seems to
have stirred Cuban sentiment strongly and

EXCEPTIONS TO STATE RULE
southwestern superintendents Take
sides with Teachers Against
state Superintendent.

The principal subject discussed by the
county supsrintendents at their meeting
yesterday was the question OF duplicating
certificates and permitting teachers TO
write examinations before a superintendent
IN another county, the examination papers
to be forwarded to the superintendent
9ranting the certificate for examination ana
One OF the rules laid down by the
&state superintendent prohibits this. the
koncluslon reached was that certificates
hhould not be duplicated. but that appl-
Giants should be permitted to write examina-
kions before one superintendent, who would
FORWARD the manuscript to the superintend-
ent granting the certificate. This, 1t was
asserted, would save teachers from making
long and expensive trips. During the dis
cussion It developed that many OF the
county superintendents follow this custom
aespite the rule Of the state superintendent
20 the contrary.
The discussion of the consolidation OF
schools showed there was a growing senti-
ment throughout the state in favor OF con-
polidation, but not Capitalization of schools
In rural townships.

the State Teachers Reading circle. made a
report OF the recent meeting in Des Moines,
