DAY paving the remaining portion of West
Broadway from Twenty-fifth street to the

poets to complete the work within the
next three months The street will be i'm
proved in the same manner as the eleven
blocks already paved. with sixteen feet
OF brick pavement on concrete base at each
side with an open space fourteen feet wide
IN the center. The curbing on both sides
OF the street was completed to the bridge
approach last fall
1t is estimated that the thirteen blocks
now to be paved will cost upwards Of
$4,000 much Of which will have to be
borne by the city out of the general i'm
provement fund as the abutting property
on this stretch of the thoroughfare is OF

(From a staff Correspondent)
DEs MONIES, April T--(Special) with
scarcely any fuss or feathers, with no
speech makeing and little formality, the
old city council under the ward system
went out Of existance in Des Moines today
and the new commission OF mayor and
four councilmen took their charge. The
first important thing and the most Inn
portant thing OF the day done by the
new commission was the passage Of
resolution giving the head Of each de-
partment authority to discharge such en-
ployes as he thought were not necessary TO
retain. With great promptness and as
little formality as had marked the coming
in of the new commissioner, Councilman
Hamery went over to the police station
and discharged several policemen and de-
tectives and informed Chief Jones that
he could retain his position for a few days
only.
As alderman from the First ward ]. l..
Hamery made a record with the police.
He had held office but for a short time
when he took a glass Of whisky away
from policeman who was breaking the
rules of the department by drinking while
on duty. Then followed some other minor
exposures of the police department and
his last act was to lay before the Polk
county grand jury evidence alleged to
show that Chief Jones had charged the
city for more meals than had been fur
nished to prisoners. With this reputation
in regard to the police department back
OF him the department was not surprised
at the suddenness of his actions today.
1t is understood some of the policemen
will attempt to retain their positions under
the civil service ordinances and that Chief
0ones will undertake to retain his under
the soldiers preference law.
The appointment of a chief OF police
will be delayed for some days yet All
other important appointments have been
filled Mayor Mathis appointed Neal
Jones, city editor of the Des Moines Daily
News, as his private secretary. meet
ing will be held tomorrow, or soon, with
Attorney w. H. Baily, the new corpora
tion counsel, for the purpose of having a
number of new ordinances drafted MAX
ing necessary changes to fit the new con-
dition of things.

GRAND HOTEL NOT IN CONTEMPT
No Notice of Injunction Served on
officers of Company.


Judge Wheeler in district court yesterday
dismissed the case in which It had been
sought to hold the Grand Hotel company
and F. H. Hart receiver, guilty of con-
tempt of court for alleged violation of an
ancient injunction secured by ]. ]. Shea
against william Maloney, a former proprie-
tor of the bar in the hotel building.
The court held that the injunction against
the hotel company was not valid and for
that reason Receiver Hart, who is also sec
retary of the company could not be held
for contempt of court.
In handing down his opinion,( Judge
Wheeler said in part:
In order that there may be proceedings
in contempt there are two essentials:
First. there must be a valid and binding
injunction. Second, there must have been
violation of the terms of the injunction
by one bound to observe It, There is no ex-
press finding that the Grand Hotel com
pany had been served with original notice
of the tendency of the action.
This, while not criminal case, is in the
nature of a criminal proceeding, and of
course a man cannot be held unless there
has been clear violation of the order of
the court, and the injunction must be of
such a character that the person charged
is bound to observe 1t. The return shown
in the clerks handwriting is not upon the
Grand Hotel company, but upon Charles
r. Hannah. The evidence shows that
the company, but only a stockholder, and
service upon him is not sufficient to Sc
cure jurisdiction of the Grand Hotel COM
pany. This being the facts, It seems to
me that Il would be doing a rank injustice
to hold this defendant guilty OF contempt
OF court.
In the case against Edward Rogers
Charles Leibold and George Smith, the
court overrued the motion for more
specific statements. He said that in an
indictment or an information charging vio-
lation of the liquor law, the general allie
cation would be sufficient and in his opin-
ion no more would be required in contempt
proceedings.
