Question of City's Representation to
Come Hin TonfuhH

Question of City's Representation to
Come Up Tonight
The question OF the Council Bluffs fire de-
partment being represented at the annual
tournament of the Iowa State Firemen's
association to be held at Sioux City June
IS to p will be brought up by Councilman
Maloney at tonights meeting of the city
council. In view of the fact that Council
Bluffs won the championship last year with
Jack and Jim, the general opinion seems
to be that it should be represented this
year to defend the honors carried of a
year ago.
George NJ. Kellogg, chief 81 the Sioux
City fire department, was in Council Bluffs
Saturday in the interests of the tournament
and urged the city authorities to have a
team this year. 1t had been planned to
send Jack and Jim to the tournament this
year, but owing to the suspension of Chief
Jones by the Fire and Police commission
and the uncertainty In the matter of the
future head Of the department nothing has
been done in the way of getting the team
and crew in training so far.
The funds advanced by the city to assist
in defraying the expense of the team going
to the tournament last year were recov-
cred into the city treasury from the prize
money won by Chief Jones and his men
was received.

CENSUS TAxER is ACQUITTED
c. w. Needles Not Guilty of Making
False Returns.

raise returns
ATLANTIC, Ia, May 12.-(Special. 1.-The
famous Atlantic census case came to a
close in the district court yesterday, when
c, w. Needles, the census enumerator,
was declared not guilty Of making false
returns. and the other four indictments
against him were dismissed. This has been
one of the most famous cases ever tried
here, as 1t is the only case on record
where a city went into court in an endeavor
to reduce the population given to 1t by the
census enumerator.
In 1906 there was a temperance war on in
Atlantic and c. w. Needles was selected
10 take the census Of the city Mr.. Needles
was liquor element man and desired the
establishment of saloons. In order to Sc
cure the saloons 1t was necessary to have
the population Of Atlantic over 5000, as a
majority Of the citizens could then estab-
lsh saloons. where II under that size, It
required IS per cent OF the citizens Of the
entire county. Mr.. Needles made the CEN
sus show over the required 5000 population.
The temperance people at once took the
case to court and succeeded In having the
census reduced below 5000 They then be-
gan Injunction proceedings against the
secretary of state and forced him to put
the smaller census in the official register,
after same had already been issued show
ing Atlantic to have over 5000 population.
Appeals from the decision Of the first case
are still pending in the supreme court OF
Iowa, to be settled at the September term.
Criminal proceedings. charging Needles
with making false returns in his census
reports, were then commenced and five in
dietments secured against him. Last year
he was tried on one Of them and the jury
disagreed. Again this term he was tried
on the same Indictment. but the jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. County AT
torney Goodspeed at once moved to dismiss
the remaining four indictments, which was
done.

WATER ORDINANCE COMES UP
Council TO Consider Schedule Prepared BY
City Attorney Tonight
BASED UPON NERsTED ESTIMATES
IL Makes Considerable Reduction
Upon Meter Minimum-MayOr
Mncrae Regards IL as Fair
20 Both Parties.

The ordinance providing for new sched-
ule Of water rates as introduced by Mayor
Macrae and drawn up by Harl & FINLEY,
the special attorneys employed by the city
in the waterworks matter, is booked to
come up on it's second reading at the ad-
journed meeting OF the city council tonight.
The schedule is based to great extent on
that prepared by w. Kiersted, the expert
hydraulic engineer employed by the city
council. Mr.. Kiersted declared that the
watcrworks company was entitled to GER
tain revenue and his schedule was SO ar
ranged as to produce that income. While
Mayor Macrae's schedule is to large ex-
tent based on that OF Expert Kiersted, II
makes a material reduction in the meter
minimum rates and consequently lops of
SOME of the revenue provided for Mr..
Kiersted
This ordinance was before the committee
Of the whole last week and was by It re-
ferred back to the council to be placed on
its second reading at which time IL can be
amended. Mayor Macrae has expressed
himself to the effect that he believes his
schedule is a fair one, both to the con
sumner and the company, but what action
the council will take tonight is profile
matte. At least three OF the councilmen are
said To be in favor of trying to bring the
matter 10 "A settlement by pRsslng the or

WAITING FOR THE WHISTLE
Merchants Up and Down Missouri River
Aroused Over Steamboats,.
GENERAL ACTIVITY svlR STARRING THEM
Arrival of Vessel from st. Louis with
Experimental Cargo II Looked
Forward TO with
Anxiety.

Interest in the resumption OF navigation
on the Missouri river approaches an acute
stage as the time for the arrival of the
steamer that is on its maiden voyage from
st. Louis to Omaha with a cargo of freight
grows nearer. The loot of its whistle,
heralding the return OF steamboat traffic
on the Big Muddy to its own after many
years of shiftess neglect, is almost hourly
expected and each merchant, seeing in
his minds eye, cheaper freight rates and
more business as the result OF successful
transportation Of his goods has appointed
himself the watchful harbormaster, the
alert lighthouse keeper. or other guardian
of the piers of the deep. as It were, that
he may be among the first to witness the
re-awakening and extend his hand in well
come to the venturous captain and his
crew.
But Omaha is not alone in wishing sue
cess to the river traffic nor In endeavors
to further navigation interests All the
way down the crooked stream the news
papers have taken up the cry and en-
thusiasm has been reused at all the large
cities to a pitch where the discourage
ments aimed at the project fall upon deaf
ears.

PUBLIC REPRESENTATION.

A nearby friend suggests the safe
guarding of the public interest in 10
cal franchise giving, by the incorpora-
ton in the terms of the act bestow-
ing them, of the compulsory inclusion
Of two or more directors on the boards
OF the favored companies, from among
the people; to be elected by the people,
to work and watch and protect the
public interest, upon the same terms
Of salary that accrue to the other
members; their compensation to be
paid by the company holding the fran
chise.
The idea has merit and would tend
to popularize the quasi-public indus
tries of the community; would serve
as sharp deterrent in the reckless
handling of the privileges bestowed
by the people. 1t would also help to
protect the companies from the en-
croachment of vicious agencies oper-
ting from Jealous or spiteful motives
and set up a phase of regulation that
would be acceptable and valuable, in
the long run, to the concerns in ques-
ton. .. ,.-.-
That it would contribute to the safe
ty of the people from imposition and
sacrifice goes without saying so long
as the people put their best and truest
men in the places of trust and respon-
sibility. Possessing such a right, they
would be wholly to blame If they chose
unwisely, and would nave to bear the
onus of subsequent undoing at the
hands Of their own servants

THE SToRk IN SPAIN.

The famous old bird that has been
| accredited with the beautiful tand
endless) monopoly Of supplying the
world with precious babies, through
the countless thousands of its years OF
existence, is due at the Spanish capi-
tai with another pledge Of human love
and destiny.
All Spain. from the royal master
and mistress Of the nation, down
through the grandee ranks, to the
humblest servitor and citizen Of the
race, is alive to the impending gift of
an heir to the throne. Prince, or prin-
cess. it will make but little difference
TO the commonalty, however devoted
the desires OF the principals may be,
for either; the main thing with the
populace there is the coming OF a
royal infant and the jubilation atten-
dant upon the event, the pardons, the
gifts, the benefices, the grand holiday
II always confers. Spain Ia just as old
as she ever was: her traditions are as
deeply rooted and as reverently OBJ
served, as In the days Of the Golden
Fleece, the Armada, the Wars of the
sepulchure, or an other antedeluvian
standard one may quote. She is the
relict of the old kingly era, and has
never broken from the ties of the dim.
romantic past. The new baby will
open its innocent eyes upon an anti
quated heritage Of fame, and infamy'
glory and shame, romance, and dor
nance, without parallel in all the
earth. The stork is now winging its
fight to the old peninsula.
