WOE IN STORE FOR SALOONS
All Violations of the Mulct Law Are
to Be Followed by Prosecutions.
ODLE ANNOUNCES HIS PROGRAM
states that Owners OF Saloons VIII He
Held to the Observance of All
the TechnicnIIties of
the Law.

I'VE are going to bring them all under
the letter Of the law and prosecutions will
be begun against saloons Just as quick in
the cases of technical violations OF the la
as in the cases Of the most flagrant viola
TONS" declared NJ. S. Odle, the attorney for
the Iowa Anti Saloon league, who will sf-
pear in district court this morning to prose
cute the cases against the four saloons.
the owners of which have been cited to
show cause why they should not be ad-
Judged guilty of contempt of court.
Attorney Odle admitted yesterday that he
had been brought here by the ministers to
prosecute the saloonmen, but declined to
give any names, One Of the leading MEM
bers of the Ministerial association stated
yesterday with considerable emphasis that
the invitation was not issued or authorized
by the association, and that the members
of the organization who may have acted
in the matter did so as individuals.
The saloons involved in the proceedings
before Judge Wheeler today have been
among the best conducted places in the
city and the action of the ministers in
bringing about the prosecution for what is
believed to be violation of mere technlcali-
ties of the law has caused good deal Of
resentment among the business men gem
orally.
Several of the ministers gathered at the
county court house yesterday morning to
witness the destruction of the liquor seized
last Monday evening in the basement Of
the Manhattan saloon. The order of the
court was carried out by Captain ID. Maltby
constable in the court of Justice Greene, in
the absence of Constable Baker, who made
the seizure. Captain Maltby was assisted
by Rev. Henry DeLong.
r. p. Hollingshead, one of the men en-
ployed to secure evidence against the four
saloons cited to appear in court today,
is resident of Abba, this state. On his
cards one of which is in possession of
citizen of Council Bluffs is printed "Dick
Hollingshead, Abba, Iowa. A Iowa De-
tective."

are just waking up to the fact that It is
leap year, according to the record of marri-
age licenses issued by the county clerk
While for the first quarter in 1907 there
were thirty-eght licenses issued, in the
same time this year there has been but
tnlrty-one. This shortage Is caused by
the first two months Of the present year,
before the women realized their chance,
as the month Of March this year shows a
total of nineteen licenses. as opposed to
but ten for the same month last year.

MINNESOTA TAKES UP FIGHT
Federal Court TO He Asked To
Determine Equity of Two-Cent
Passenger Rates

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April At was an
nounced today that attorneys representing
the various railroads i'm Minnesota have
agreed to ask the federal circuit court
to appoint a master to take testimony as
to the reasonableness of the 2-cent pas
senger fare law, the commodity rate law
and the merchandise rate order Of the rail
road and warehouse commission This
decision was reached after discussion of the
effects of the recent supreme court de-
cison upholding the inferior court in en-
joining the enforcement Of the commodity
rate law by state officials
The 2-cent fare is now IN effect and
attorney Begg, of the Great Northern said
today that the railroads would continue to
obey that law, while the question of its
reasonableness was pending in the federal
court.

PENSIONS FOR PROFESSORS
Andrew Carnegie Extends His An-
nuity system To Teachers I'm
State Universities.

NEW YORK, April Announcement
was made tonight that Andrew Carnegie
would add S5,OOO,OOO to the fund OF the
Carnegie Foundation, or Whatever sum
might be necessary to include as pension
beneficiaries eligible professors OF state
universities
No provision was made for this class
of educators in the original gift for the
reason stated by Mr.. Carnegie at the time,
that the donor thought It possible that
such institutions might prefer that their
relations should continue exclusively with
the state from which their chief sup
port was derived This view was not
taken by the national association of state
universities, which in the year following
the establishment of the foundation pc
titioned the trustees for admittance to the
benefits to the retiring allowance system
1t was found that the earnings of the
original fund of 100000 were exhausted
through the outlet already planned and
that if the faculties of all state universities
were to benefit, an additional $5.OOOOOO
would be needed.
The situation was placed formally be-
fore Mr.. Carnegie by DR. Henry S. Pritch-
EFT, president of the Carnegie foundation
for the advancement Of teaching on March
81 last, and on that same day Mr.. Carne-
gle replied that the money would be forth
coming for any state institution whose an
pication received the approval of the
Legislature and governor Of its state. Tho
additional donation will be in five per cent
bonds providing an added annual income
of quarter OF million dollars and a
total for yearly disbursements of $75O.OOO

The business men let Il be distinctly un-
derstood that they would have nothing
to do with nor would they in any way
countenance any organization which plan
ned TO he radical in compelling the enforce
ment Of the liquor or other laws. There
was some exceedingly straight talk on
the subject OF the proceedings begun by
foreign attorney against four Of the
saloons and the promoters OF the league
were given to understand that nothing Of
that kind would be countenanced. Nearly
all Of the ministers present denied any
responsible for bringing Attorney Odle
to Council Bluffs
Rev. Charles Mayne however. during
the discussion said that IL he had his way
in the matter he would put every saloon
out of business altogether. 1t was decided
at the conference that the league was not
to enter the field for the purpose OF rak-
ing up old violations of the mulct law
and the insttuting prosecutions for same
but was merely to assist and encourage
the authorities in preventing flagrant vio-
lad hns of the mulct and other laws with
this understanding the business men agreed
to give the league their support and en-
dorsement.
