IOWA CITY, Jan, Especial Under
penitentiary sentence, his case now on ap-
peal to the supreme court, Matt Maher'
convicted OF completely in the murder of
John EZecheck here last summer, was Sc
cretly married TO his sweetheart Of life
time on January IL. Maher is the son of
a prominent family which has lived in Iowa
City fm the last forty years. Last sum
ners in company with three other young
men, he started out TO paint the town,
and in the course of their celebration John
Ezecbeck, who had been demonstrating
with them, was struck by one Of them,
fell heavily on the brick paving and died
within twenty-four hours. All members OF
the party have since been tried and SEN
fenced to varying terms in the state peni-
tertiary. Maher refused TO accept the trial
IN. the county court as conclusive and has
appealed his case to the supreme court,
members OF his family appearing TO give
him bail. -
Since the time the case went to the SUI
preme court it is understood that Makers
attorneys would ask the pardon OF the
governor and as an additional reason for
its being granted his marriage with his old
sweetheart was quietly celebrated. Since
the marriage the couple have been living
at Makers home, where they will reside
until the case is settled in the supreme
court. In the event that Maher is not re-
leased and Judge Byington sentences him
to the penitentiary,- his wife will return 10
her parents TO await-his eventual release.

COUNCIL BLUFFS
TkNGLE ABOUT FRANCHISE
Some Doubt About Just When Water
Works Oomp,py's charter Expires
ONE THEORY FlhEs IT ON WEDNESDAY
special Attorney for City Advises
Council. There f. No Necessity
for Precipitste Action on
the Question.
ONE THEORY FhEs IT ON WEDNESDAY

Docs the present franchise Of the Council
BLUFFS City Water Works company expire
January - or at the end Of this year? This
is a question which has not yet been defin-
itely decided even by the special counsel
employed by the special committee on
municipal ownership of the waterworks.
Acting on the possibility Of the franchise
expiring tomorrow, Mayor Macrae yesier-
day came to the conclusion that it was
approaching the time when the city council
should do something TO redeem it's pledge
made TO the people Of Council Bluffs at
the election two years ago. with this idea
in his head Mayor Mscrae called a special
meeting of the city council for Tuesday
night and a special meeting OF the commit
Toe Of the whole for last night
The object of calling the two meetings.
according to the mayors plans. was that
the COMMITTEES of the whole should last
night agree upon the contract-frsnchise
as previously proposed and that the same
should be passed under a suspension Of tho
rules tomorrow night and in this way have
something 10 offer the people when the
Materworks company's franchise would ex-
pirs Wednesday. if it should on that date
instead Of at. the end Of the year.
The mayors plans. however. went astray.
Attorney Harl, one of the special counsel,
retained to assist the special committee in
its efforts to obtain municipal ownership
of the water works, appeared before the
meeting and informed the aldermen Il was
not necessary for them TO be in any such
great hurry. Alderman Weaver. chairman
Of the special committee, also announced
that the contract-franchise was not ready
and that up TO date the proposed measure
had not been passed upon by the water
works company and what was more had
not been formally submitted to It. Under
these circumstances Alderman Weaver said
he could not see how the council could
proceed any further. The special commit.
tee, Mr. Weaver announced had arranged
TO hold a conference with the representa-
tives Of the. waterworks company Wednes'
day afternoon.
Attorney Hari also threw another bomb
into the camp of the aldermen. At previous
meetings of the committee of the whole
he had advised the committe OF the whole
az he had advised the special COMMITTEES
that the city was empowered to fix rates
for 1--WE years. Last night he retractet
this and informed the aldermen that undei
the law the city council had authority Il
change the rates Just as often as II deemed
wise, providing the rates thus made wer'
not unreasonable" As the contract-fran
chi.e provided for fxed rates for the mex
fSef years, Attorney Harris announcement
naturally placed different aspect on tn
matter and the contract portion of tn
proposed combined contract-franchise vii
at least have to be amended.
After more or less desuitory discussion
Or the question. it was decided to postpon
The special meeting OF the city council
until next Monday night
