Adams let the question rest while he
asked one of his own.

INTERURBAN HELD UP
BY FIGHT ON ROUTE
Fairfield Citizens Unable to Agree as
to Streets for Line.

Fairfield, Feb. 25.-(Special.)-- 1.-The
problem as to what streets will be
given the interurban is but little near
er solution than it was Saturday. Some
little surprise was caused Saturday
afternoon when the Ladies' Improve.
ment association withdrew the petition
that had bee onted in it's name
asking that the cos-cil prohibit the
line from going over any paved streets,
the square or any main arteries lead
ing into the city. 1t developed that
the petition was not the sentiment of
the association at all and that it was
drawn up and presented by few of
the officers Of the body. Whether
it was prepared at the instance of
some councilman who desired such a
document to back them up in their
position or not is not known.
The council held an executive ses-
sion Saturday night to discuss the
matter in private, but it is not believed
any definite decision was reached. For
over two hours the members earnest
ly consulted with each other. but ii IS
probable that nothing final will be
done until Mayor Fulton returns from
business trip out OF the city, which
will be about Wednesday,
Col. j. w. Andrews. who represents
the New York bond company that is
to finance the project, is not pleased
with the discussion concerning the
route Of the road. 1t has been prac.
tically decided that the freight line
will turn off the passenger line soon
after reaching the city limits and will
&c at once to Sixth street and to the
depots. 1t is the passenger routes
that are causing trouble. and Col. An
drews has told the council that either
the Main street or Court street route
will be satisfactory to him. but he
gives the impression that it must be
one Of these two.

monument commissions regarding the
dedication of Iowa monuments on

OF the record as to the cost and tho
reason why the commissions of old

tations recently put upon them and
from the attacks of politicians.
Paid Wife's Expenses.
The governor stated that the mem
bers Of these commissions,
all war veterans. gave Of
their time freely; and that they can
never be repaid for the service they
performed and that the expenditure Of
money beyond the appropriation is ex-
planned by them because of a misap-
prehension Al, to the amount avail
able. He furtl.. declared that he
was merely an H.. tied guest and not
one penny Of the appropriation was
paid out for him or his staff or for any
one invited by him. He took with
him at the expense of the state, five
members of his military staff, four be-
Ing civil war veterans and one a
Spanish war veteran. Two others
volunteered to go and pay their own
expenses. All the state officials and
others he invited. personally paid
their own expenses and he paid the
expenses Of his wife on the journey.
Objects to Term "Junket."
He paid his personal expenses. al
though he could Ill afford to do so, he
said. Simply because 1 knew that par
tisan and personal malice would spill
their venom over even such a mis-
sion.n
He denounced those who had called
the solemn dedication ceremonies as
a junket or a picnic.
Raise Supervisors Pay.
The senate passed the bill legalizing
the acts Of mayors in taking illegal
acknowledgements. also bill increas-

and made a further explanation in
which he withdrew his apology made
to the house. He insisted that his
