FIRE CHIEF LIPS PROTESTS
Declares That Many Motormen Refuse
to Stop When Engine
Is Approaching

Fire Chief Lips yesterday reported
to the fire commission that many street
car motormen refused to obey the or
dinance compelling them to stop when
fire engine was approaching, and that
as consequence the dangers the de-
partment encountered in running to q
fire were greatly increased. He de-
clared a collision between the street
cars and fire engine would inevitably
occur and that great damage and prob
ably loss of life would result.
He further charged that the street
cars ran over the hose of the depart
ment, frequently making the equipment
worthless The chief was instructed to
confer with the city attorney with a
view to collecting damages from the
street car cOmDanies

B0BBIE BURNS DEMANDS PAY
Deposed Secretary of Fire Department
Insists on Drawing Salary
for Position

"Bobbie" Burns, the deposed secre-
tary of the fire department, yesterday
presented a demand to the finance
committee of the city council for $115,
as his salary for February, although
he served less than week in the po-
sition.
Burns claims he is the only one
authorized to hold the position and
that although B. w. Land has acted
as secretary of the fire department
almost continuously for the last six
months he has no legal right to the
place.
Both Land and Burns took the civil
service examination for the position.
Burns secured a passing grade and
Land did not. The commission certi-
fled Burns for the place and the fire
commission appointed him. The next
week, however, Chief Lips declared he
could not get along with Burns and
said he wanted Land back The fire
commission removed Burns and gave
Land another emergency appointment.
1t is probable Burns will take the case
to the courts.

Lena BerteIson Called Her a Pia
and Other Equally Objectionable
Names

A case in which the word "pig'
figured extensively was heard yester-
day before Police Judge Rose when
Samuel Cohen and his family tried to
convince jury that Mrs. Lena Bert
elson and her friend, Miss Pauline
Cohen, had disturbed their peace.
The principal cause of complaint was
that the defendants had used the word
pig" with offensive meaning, as Mrs.
Cohen, her hubsand and children de-
scended from the upper fiat at 1907
West Ninth street on a December
house and occupied the lower flat,
leasing the upper portion to the
Cohens.
Samuel Cohen told of the offensive
eplthlets that had been applied. as he
supposed, to his wife.
Mrs. Flora Cohen said each word was
enunciated with great distinctness,
with the intention of wounding her
feelings.
Miss Stella Cohen gave her version
of the trouble and Miss Sadie Cohen
added her mite to the testimony.
Those ladies called off their dogs,
telling them that 1 was not good
enough to associate with them" said
Mrs. Cohen as she leaned towards the
jurymen.
"She applied the epithet pig to me
and said lot of words that L do not
care to repeat in court"
Defendants Explain
When the defendants had their in
Io
episode had led to misconceptions on
the part of the Cohen family, whom
they averred were very sensitive about
any mention to the porcine family.
Mrs. Bertelson said that yesterday
she and Miss Pauline Cohen had been
out riding and met a little piggie on
West Adams street. Their pet dogs
the animal, and that evening
they We're relating the little incident
to each other when the Cohens came
down stairs.
Both defendants said they regretted
that Mrs. Cohen had taken an innocent
remark to herself
Several witnesses testified that there
had been trouble between Mrs. Bertel-
son and her tenants for a long time and
that both sides had used words that
would not look good in print.
The courtroom was crowded with
friends of both sides. and standing
room was at premium, while the
woes of two families in the same fiat
were told to the jury.
After hearing the evidence the jury
decided that the defendants were not
guilty.

Ereiuht Train.

Because of the annulment Of the
Iowa Central local passenger No. 3,
due out of here for the north at $3.50
p M, the T.-R. made arrangements
today with the railroad company for
freight service for the evening edition
for the territory north. The papers
will be sent north each afternoon on
thru freight No. 95, which is due to
leave this point at 3:15, but usually
does not leave until some time be-
tween and 5 o'clock. A representa-
tive of the T.-R. business office will
accompany the papers on the trip, and
see that the pouches are thrown off at
the different stations. The train does
not make stops at some of the smaller
stations, and arrangements will be
made at each town to have the papers
taken directly to the postoffice. Until
some other more satisfactory arrange
ment can be made the T.-R. will make
every effort to get papers to subscrib-
ers in towns north on the Central as
nearly on schedule time as possible.

The Oskaloosa Herald says that the
business men Of that city will fight
for a continuance of local passenger
service on the Iowa Central, in view Of
the announcement that the trains and

aid says:
"Oskaloosa merchants and shippers
will fight, and fight hard, for the re-
tenton of passenger trains Nos. 3 and
T. which the Central purposes to take
off on Sunday next for an indefinite
time. Altho the reason for dis
continuing the service was alleged by
General Passenger Agent A. B. Cuts
to be on account of the coal troubles
it is understood by our people that
the trains will not be resumed and
that Oskaloosa will be without mail

thousands of dollars to the merchants
