Cedar Rapids, Oct. 21.-Now, since
the danger is past, 1t is stated that
If the Iowa railroad commissioners
had not acted with promptness and
issued the only emergency order in the
history of the commission. Cedar Rap
ids would have been thrown in total
darkness, would have been without
electrical power and the big ears on
the interurban between this city and
Iowa City would have been standing
idle Saturday.
For the past fourteen years the Rock
Island has been switching cars OF coal
over the Illinois Central and u switch,
built jointly by the electric light peo-
pie and the Illinois Central, to the
electric light power plant. Inc ROCK
Island claims there has been con-
tract in existence which permitted this,
but a controversy had arisen as to
whether this contract was still in
force. The differences became so acute
that the Illinois Central locked the
switch and would not permit the Rock
Island to transfer coal to the electric
light plant as in the past. AS a re-
suit the coal supply at the electric
light plant had become practically ex-
hausted and it had reached the point
where it would become necessary to
close down the plant unless something
was done. The railroad commission
was appealed to, with the result that
the danger was averted.

Webster City, Oct. 21.-The trial OF
George Mackown on the charge OIL
burning Webster City's 100000 felt
shoe factory in 1903, was begun III
Judge Lees court this afternoon. Court
was convened at 1880 o'clock and the
empanneling of a jury was undertaken
at once 1t is expected that all OF to-
day and tomorrow will be consumed IN
picl1ing the Jury. 1t is possible that
even more time may be taken.
While the trial begun this afternoon
is upon the arson charge only, 1t IN
fact embodes the embezZlement case
also. for the state has given notice to
the defense that 1t will Introduce evil
dence of embezZlement in order to fur-
nish the motive for the alleged crime
of arson. Attorneys ID. c. Chase ana
Wesley Martin will fight vigorously
against the introduction of this evil
dence. The state, however, Is bound
that il George Mackown is guilty as
charged, he shall suffer the extreme
penalty of the law and to this end
will introduce every scrap of evidence
pertaining to both the crimes that
can be found and admitted. County
Attorney Porter and A. n. Boyce VINO
is assisting in the case, served written
notice upon the state as to their deter
mination to introduce evidence OF en-
bezlement at the arson trial. Oblec-
tons to this will come later when wit
nesses are put upon the stand and
asked questions such as will open the
road for legal tilt as to its compe-
tency or relevancy.
AS to the arson charge, it is under
stood the defense will set up an alibi.
That Mackown himself will go upon
the stand is certain and that at least
two witnesses will complete his proof
of absence from the factory until after
the fire alarm was given is known. BY
proving the embezzlement however,
and introducing other circumstantial
evidence the state will seek to show
either an accomplice or the use OF
some kind of slow fire with which the
conflagration was started.
A large crowd attended the opening
of court and the outlook indicates that
a full court room will greet each ses-
sion of court during the progress OF
this famous trial.
