HOGS-There was no very great change
in the hog market this morning. Good
grades were possibly a little better sellers
than yesterday, but there was no very
marked advance 10 talk about. On the
other hand, common and inferior light
loads were rather slow sellers, especially
on the close. The movement was not par
ticularly active, and still the hogs kept
changing hands a few loads at a time, until
pretty much everything was disposed of
in very fair season. A considerable pro-
portion of all the hogs sold at Ss.65Q6 81

CONTEST OVER FIRE CHIEF
Appeal Of Robert w. Jones to Come
Up Soon in Supreme Court.
ALMOST TWO YEARS
Attorneys for Jones Attack Legality
of Board of Fire and Police Com
m~issiOners which 0usted Him
from once.

The controversy over the appointment OF
chief of the Council Bluffs fire depart
ment, which had been forgotten by almost
everybody except those directly interested,
is TO the fore again. The hearing on the
appeal taken by Robert w. Jones, the de-
posed chief. from the ruling OF the district
court in the action brought by him to re-
gain possession of the office. Is TO De hau
before the supreme court at the January
term, which will extend into March. The
period allotted to cases from this district
begins on March 8, and 1t is likely that this
matter will be reached soon after that date.
Briefs and arguments have been filed by
the attorneys on both sides and the case
has been noted for oral rgumen at this
term.
The case grew out of the appointment
of the Fire and Police commission in April,
1907, by DR.. Donald Macrae, then mayor.
Jones was chief of the fire department by
virtue of his appointment by the city coun-
ell. The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners, Immediately following its APP
pointment, proceeded to Gust Jones.
Charges were preferred against him, and
part Of these charges were sustained by
the commission, which promptly discharged
Jones and appointed Charles NJ. Nicholson,
who has since held the position of chief.
Jones attacked the legality OF the action
in a quo warranto proceeding In the dis
trict court, but Judge Macy held against
him. An appeal was then taken to the su-
preme court.
Jones' side of the controversy is based
on the alleged unconstitutionality of the
law providing for the appointment of the
Fire and Police commission. In their brief
and argument filed with the supreme court,
counsel for Jones contend that defendants
were appointed in violation of the law, two
of them being members of the democratic
party, whereas the republican party was,
at the time of their appointment, the dom
lnant political party.

States, no matter what the decision OF the
circuit court, the final bulk of the record in
the case promises to be appalling.
History Of Suit.
The suit to dissolve the Standard OIL
company of New Jersey, was commenced
on December G, 1906, with the films Of a
complaint in the federal court of st. Louis.
Besides the Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey, sixty-nine subsidiary companies and
seven individuals were named as defen-
dants. The latter were: John d. Rookie
Teller, John D.. Archibald, william Rookie
Teller, II. ii. Rogers, II. M. tlasiei' ~ H.
Payne and Charles NJ. Pratt.
In all 1872 witnesses were called by the
government and 10 by the defense. Inc
record of the testimony proper totals up
1900, 900 words. The exhibits, consisting OF
over 1850 groups of words and flsures'
adds another 10000, 900 words. The printing
office at washington has been kept busy
night and day for months completing the
record which, when bound, will make
twenty-five printed volumes. The maps
showing the company's pipe lines and oil
fields are printed in four c%olors, a pro-
cedure heretofore unknown in legal record
making. From the printers viewpoint 1t
is the greatest case in legal history.
