FIVE WEN TO RULE DES MONIES.
supreme Court UphOIds New Commission
Plan Of Government.

DEs MoIEEs, Ia Feb. Is.--The Iowa
Supreme Court unanimously affirmed
to-day the constitutionslity Of the Des
Moines commission plan of municipal
government Under this plan the ward
system is done away with AMI in lien of
the Board OF Aldermen all departments
Of city administration are placed in the
hands OF a board Of five commissioners.
to be elected by the city at large. The plan
was adopted at a SPECIAL election several
months ago.
Opponents Of the new plan took the
matter to the Supreme Court on the ground
that the denial Of the right Of the people
70 select their own Aldermen by wards
vitiated the principle Of representative
Government. Secondly. they held that IL
placed the city in a class by itself rather
than under the laws which the Constitution
declared shall be uniform in their operations;
and thirdly. that IL tended to merge execu-
tive legislative judicial functions in single
body.
Every one Of the contentious is Sc: aside
by the court and the city will now proceed
TO elect commissioners TO assume control
Of public offices under the new plan.

Public Service Beard Issass Its First Orde :
20 ImterDorOugn.

10 AMtErW1t94BBa
The Public Service Commission took tho
hrst step yesterday toward requiring the
use OF side doors In the cars. it iasued
an order to the Interborough company 10
show cause Why all Of the cars using the
subway should not be 20 lifted. The COM
pany is also to show cause why all future
cars purchased for the elevated lines shall
not be Of the side door type. Another
order served on the Interborough yester-
day compels the company TO make perma-
nent the additions recently made in the
train service on the Sixth avenue road at
the order Of the commission.
The commission announced yesterday
that It had fixed on q clearance Of fourteen
feet six inches for all subwAys hereafter
TO be constructed in this city. This is foot
more than the headroom in the present sub
way. The matter has been under con-
sideration some time. Bion j. Arnold OF
Chicago and George A. Kimball, chief en-
gineer OF the Boston subways. both re-
ported In favor Of this and also in favor OF
reducing the maximum grade In new sub
ways from to 8 per cent.
One OF the objects in cnlarging the size
of the subways is 10 make possible con-
nection with some of the railroads entering g
the city. 1t was found that the present
subway would not admit standard passen-
ger coaches. although there was some idea
when Il was laid out Of q connection at the
Grand Central Station.
With the size Of the subwRys increased
the commission has some hope OF getting
bids from railroad companies for the con-
struction Of these subways. The proposed
Lexington avenue subway could be con-
nected with the New York Central at la0th
street. and II constructed would be large
enough for any cars now in use on that road.

NO Prohibit on, SAYS GIBBONS
Cardinal Opposes Law That Would Make
Many Men LaWDreakers.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 1s.-Cardinal Gibbons
to-day expressed himself as strongly in
favor Of high license and opposed to pro-
hibition in large cities. Said the Cardinal:
Local option should under no circum-
stances apply 10 this city. Liquor would
be sold here quite as abundAntly under
prohibition laws az under we'll regulated
license. The consequence will be that
liquor will be dispensed contrary to law
instead Of being sold in accordance with
law. Then too the city will be deprived
of a large revenue which is so much needed
for the government of this community.
when a law is fagrantly and habituafly
violated Il. brings legislation into contempt.
IL creates a spirit OF deception and hypoc-
risy and compels men to do insdiously
and by stealth what they would other
wise do openly and above board.
~You cannot legislate men into the per-
formance OF good and righteous deeds
" we are to improve the morality of our
city and make our citi ,ens more temperate

SNOw DEPARTED IN A CAB.
NcIkhDOr Of the Indicted Brooklyn Man
Tells OF His Flight.

The Brooklyn detective bureau got its
first definite information yesterday about
the disappearance of Henry Sanger Snow.
the indicted ex-treasure Of the New York
and New Jersey Telephone Company,
from his home at 27O Henry street on last
Thursday. One OF SHOWS neighbors went
to police headquarters and told this story
under a promise that his name wouldn't
be disclosed:
About IL o clock on Thursday morning
a cab drove up in front Of Shows house.
The driver didn't trouble himself to leave
his seat on the box and he had evidently
been called over the telephone. The cab
waited about five minutes and then the
front door Of the Snow house opened and
Mr.. Snow appeared wearing heavy
fur lined overcoat
He ran quickly down the steps and
several members Of his family stood in
the door. A man from the house carried
ont A large steamer trunk and put it up
alongside the driver. When the trunk was
safely placed Snow waved his hand to
those in the doorway and jumped into the
cab. The cab went toward Atlantic avenue
and those at the front door, one Of whom
think was his elder daughter, all waved
their handkerchiefs as the cab went on
down the street.
The informant said he witnessed this
from the front window Of his house. The
police were satisfied after hearing his story
that Snow has left the city and that there
Is no chance that he will give himself up
voluntarily. Circulars have been sent out
describing him and ordering his arrest on
sight. -,
Assistant District Attorney Elder will
probably go on to-day or tomorrow with
the investlgation OF Shows Irregularities
before the Grand Jury. His pledging Of
unpaid stock certificates is yet to be passed
on by the Grand Jury, and other Irregular
ties may be disclosed by the investi CATION
which the expert accountants are making
for the telephone company.
