she did not fall into bad company.
At the conclusion of the case Mr..
Roe instructed the detectives to inves-
tigate the record of Mandel and to at
tempt to get to the bottom OF the al
legged persecution.
The chief witness for the prosecu-
ton, hack driver, who saw the blaze

the scene before the flames had be-
come fairly started, stated that he had
met no one on the stairs. The detec-
tives examined the apartments on the
night Of the conhagratlon and say that
the only method by which the alleged
burglar could have entered or left the
place was thru the door thru which the
hack driver had passed. This man
stated that he did not believe any man
could have left the rooms without hav-
ing been seen by himself.

FRANCHISES MAY BE TAXED.
Calhoun County Wins Important Suit
in Supreme Court.

Special to Times Republican.
Rockwell City, Dec. 24.-An imports
ant question in which Calhoun county
was interested was recently decided in
the supreme court, in which it is held
that public franchises are taxable.
The supreme court has reversed
Judge Powers decision In the Calhoun
county court In the case of the Lake
City Electric Light Company, VS.. y.
w. McCrary, treasurer. This is case
where the electric light company re-
sisted the collection by the county
treasurer Of about 5000 personal tax
assessed against the plant in Lake City.
The company asserted it's willingness
to nav about two-thirds of the tax and
claimed the balance was based on the
value Of it's franchise and the assessor
had no right to consider the franchise
in fixing the assessment. This seems
to have raised new question and
Judge Powers decided for the COM
pany but the supreme court reverses
his decision and says in effect that
franchises may be considered taxable
property. This is a highly important
decision and County Treasurer Nc
Crazy naturally feels gratified over the
vindication of his judgment in the mat
ter. j. B. McCrary carried the case up
for the county and E. c. Stevenson was
attorney for the company.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 24.-The charge Of
bribery against General Manager Hip
pee, Of the Des Moines street railway
will be presented to the grand jury thai
meets the first court term Of next year
The Des Moines parties back Of the
efforts to have the street car magnate
indicted for bribing city alderman
are now debating whether or not to
contest the recent selection of grand
jurors.
Mrs. e. w. Dodson, county recorder
made a strenuous objection when the
box of ballots was brought in unsealed
The two ends of a wire run thru the
lock on the box and then thru lead
seal, were twisted together, and the
lead seal was not mashed onto the
wire. The box could be opened any
number of times without detection by
untwisting the wire.
|. When the grand and petit jury pan
els We're selected from the ballots there
were representatives of the Civic
League present, and Mrs. Dodson made
great many complaints and contested
every step of the selection, insisting al
ways that the strict letter OF the law
be followed. In some way or other an
unusually good selection Of grand jur-
ors was made from a very unusually
poor list of names. The panel selected
Is good for Polk county. The ballots
from which the panel was selected
We're in the unsealed box ever since a
short time after election, and all Of the
names certified may have been taken
out and burned and other names sub
stituted so far as the seals on the box
are concerned.
The Civic League officials have no
doubt but q contest could be lodged
that would result in declaring the Sc
lection illegal, but since by accident or
something a fairly good selection of
grand Jurors has been made, they are
deba ting dropping the action. In any
event the charges against Hippee, 1t
is claimed, will be made before the
next grand jury.
It is probable also that the legis-
lature will be asked to remedy the fa-
scility with which grand and petit jur7
ors can be packed. Lawyers In Des
Moines have become interested in the
proposition, but at present each law
yer is hoping that some other lawyer
will take the initiative. In private
there is hardly a lawyer in Des Moines
but will admit that the law allows the
most fragrant jury manipulations. But
strange to say, they win not be quoted.
They think the law ought to be chang
ed, and especially they think that the
auditor ought not be allowed to name
the judges of election who name the
jury lists. Two or three lawyers are
giving some thought to the matter, and
1T is possible, even probable. that some
bills will be offered at the coming ses-
sion Of the legislature. Among other
things 1t is likely that Alderman Ha-
merry will be asked to go before com
mittee and demonstrate the facility
with which grand jurors names can be
drawn in any order desired.
