IN THE HANDS OF CUMMINS
Iowa Attorney General Files Report
In the Rock Island IncOr-
%porntion Case.

DEs MONIES, Sept. 16.-Attorney General
Mullan today handed an opinion to Gov
ernor A. B. Cummins with regard TO the
legality Of the recent filing Of incorporation
papers Of the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company with the secre-
tary Of state.
The governor refused to make public the
contents of the opinion, for the reason that
he desires to have a statement from him
self accompany the same when made public.
No intimation has been given Of the posi-
tion taken by the attorney general and all
statements made with regard to the same
are simply guesswork.
Governor Cummins left today to attend
a meeting Of the board Of trustees, to take
up the subject of a successor to the late
President Beardshear Of the Iowa State
Agricultural college. He will leave upon
his return for Massachusetts, to attend the
launching Of the cruiser Des Moines, and 1t
is stated that 1t is doubtful II the opinion
is made public before he returns.

IOWA PEOPLE GETTING GOOD
Federal Grand Jury Concludes Its Work and
Returns No Indictments.
ONLY TWO CASES BROUGHT BEFORE IT
Civil Docket Contains Little Business
and Two Days VIII wind UP
the Business of the
Term.

with the opening of the September term
Of United States court yesterday morning
the federal grand Jury convened and ad-
journed without returning a single indict-
ment. This is said to establish a new
record in the history Of the federal court
In Council Bluffs. But two cases were
presented by George B. Miles, United States
prosecuting attorney, the jury ignoring both.
In one case Mrs. Annie Lemkie, wife of a
farmer living near Griswold, was charged
with the improper use of the mails. In the
other case L. P. Fisher of Red Oak was
charged with concealing property in bank
ruptcy proceedings, It being alleged that
he concealed the fact that he had a fifth
interest in certain property in which his
mother had a life estate.
In the Intervention suit of w. II. Will
fong in the receivership Of the Omaha &
st. Louis railroad the plaintiff was given a
judgment for $3.50, interest and costs.
The afternoon session was taken up by
the arguments in the suit Of the city OF
Davenport against William Russell Allen
and other property owners. In this suit
the city Of Davenport sought to recover
from the defendants about $40, 000, the cost
Of paving in front Of their property. The
state court had held that the assessment
" NhO SObk VI ~ LAB AAS "Sa SNAA
and void, as the contract between the city
and the contractor who laid the paving
constituted an Indebtedness of the city
beyond the constitutional limit. In the
contract the city Of Davenport specifically
agreed to pay for the improving instead
Of providing hat the cost Of the work
would be paid by special assessment against
the AUDITING property. b city Of Daven-
port then brought suit to recover the cost
Of the work and the defendant property
owners, several Of whom are non-residents,
secured a transfer of the case to the fed
eral court. The case was brought here
from the Keokuk division. Judge McPher-
son took the case under advisement.
The hearing on the application Of the
Iowa Telephone company OF Des Moines for
an injunction against the striking employees
will not be had here, as previously ar
ranged. The hearing has been postponed
to October 16 in Des Moines. With this
case out OF the way It is expected that the
business of the term will be completed to-
day, making the lightest term Of federal
court in this city on record.
AS the term of court at Creston occurs
on the third Tuesday In October, the same
date as in Keokuk, Judge Mcpherson an
nounced that the Creston term would be
adjourned to November 6.
Clerk Mason of the United States circuit
court and other federal ~oficials returned

contrary to expectation has announced
that he has decided to accept the demo-

which he will announce his acceptance Of

which there has been more or less dis
eussion among the democratic leaders. It
is almost certain that Mr.. Cullison will
stand by the action Of the Des Moines
convention and refuse to recognize the
silver plank Of the Kansas City platform.
Mr.. Cullison was among the delegates at
