COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia. December o.
Twenty-Five members Of 1.-THE Dodge Light
Guard, called out late last night to protect
the negroes Zimmerman and Burke. who
were in the county jail, charged with at
tempting to assault and rob two women
Christmas night, remained at the prison all
night to prevent any further demonstra-
ton by the members of the mob. Two Of
the leaders were arrested and placed in q
cell near the frightened negroes. Small
groups of the would-be lynchers stood on
street corners near the Jail until daylight,
discussing the affair, but no further at
tempt was made to do violence to the prfs-
orers. The assault Christmas night was
the fourth Of a similar nature to occur
within as many days, and the people of the
city were greatly excited over the occur
rences.

DEMuRRAaE CHARGED.
Private Cars Were Kept Standing or
Private Tracks.

If the interstate Commerce commission
takes cognizance of complaint filed today
by the Fred H. Clark Company OF Cincinnati
against the Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Chicago
and st. Louis Railway Company all the
murrage rates will be subjected for the first
time to general investigation through the
application of interstate commerce regula-
lions. The complainant has protested
against the payment of car service charges
on its own cars which were delayed in UNI
loading on tracks controlled by the con-
signee of the contents of the cars. Similar
protests have been made to the courts a
number of times and the railroads have
been upheld.
A different aspect Is given to the COM
plants, however, in the presentation which
has been made to the Interstate commerce
commission, and the case promises to at
tract wide attention among shippers and
railroad officials.
The Fred. II. Clark Company sets forth
that on July %, 1903, 1t shipped a carload
of oil to Hoover & Allison Co, xenia Ohio,
and that August 1, 1903. 1t shipped another
carload to the same point In both In
stances private cars were used, and they
were placed for unloading on a private
compelled to pay 80 and on the second $11
demurrage charges for delay in unloading
the cars. The consignee deducted the
charges from the shippers account
The complainant asks the Interstate COM
merce commission for an order compelling
paid and also for a ruling concerning the
right of railroad companies to exact de-
murrage charges on private cars unloaded
on private tracks.

conferences of Steel Magnates.

PITTSBUkG, Pa, December 29.-Thomas
Lynch, president of the H. C. Prick Coke
Company was summoned to New York last
night and is said to be In conference with
the officers of the United States Corpora
ton today. The nature of his mission was
not learned The reports of dissatisfaction
in the coke region over the recent reduc-
ton in wages ordered Is officially denied.
A representative of the company said:
1.-THE Frick Company owns about 1900
ovens and employs fully 1900 men, as a
fair estimate of the number Of employees
is one for each oven. This includes the
coal miners. OF this number but 1900 are
at work, owing to the heavy decrease in
the demand due to the closing of fully 60
per cent of the blast furnaces since Octo-
Der l. Prices for furnace coke that pre-
vailed at the opening of the year have
declined about so per cent. The men ac-
cepted the reduction of II per cent In
wages and all are anxious to work. The
talk of strike is nonsense. II the 1,OoO
men now at work should quit, there are
10, 900 idle coke workers ready and willing
to take their places"
