power to release prisoners on parole

CITY HAS ITS WAY.
Voters Of Webster City Defeat Gas
franchise Proposition at FoIis.

Webster City, Ia, Feb. 26.-- The
proposition to grant a gas franchise
to a corporation was yesterday de-
feated at the polls. The city will prob
ably soon put in plant.
Friends of municipal ownership are
ejoiced over the result of the vote. The
city now owns an electric light plant
and is furnishing light at rate said
to be the lowest in Iowa. When the
corporation wanted q franchise for a
gas plant the city objected and even
agreed to put in municipal plant.
The fact that one citizen Offered $4,000
for the franchise which the corporation
wanted free may have had some in-
.fluence on the vote of yesterday.

Therefore the credit to which each of
the two is entitled rests on matters
apart from the Claim of nominal COM
mana over the squadron; for so far as
the actual fight was concerned neither
ono nor the other in fact exercised any
command. Sampson was hardly more
than technically in the fight. Ills real
claim for credit rests upon his work
as commander in chief; upon the eX-
ccllence of the blockade: upon the pre-
parednesa OF the squadron; upon the
arrangement of the ships head in a
semicrcle around the harbor, and the
staining orders in accordance with
which they instantly moved to the at
tack Of the apaEiards when the latter
appeared. For all these things the
credit is his.
