MAY AMEND ORDINANCE.
Everybody 10 Complaining Against the
"Speed Limit"

OHVSo 6UUaes
DR.. w. r. Aylett. NJ. s. Llewellyn
and w. 9. Weston were fined IS each
in the police court yesterday morning
for exceeding the speed limit in an
automobile, motorcycle and street
car, respectively. All admitted that
they had exceeded the limit, but DR..
Aylstt and Motorman Weston denied
that they had been reckless. Mr..
Lewellyn said that he had just
bought his motorcycle and that as he
was not familiar with its workings. it
got away from him" and went con-
siderabfy faster than he intended or
desired.
As O result of the trouble over ex-
ceeding the speed limit, It is probable
than an ordinance will be introduced
in the council at its next meeting.
amending the present ordinance so as
instead Of eight.
Friday afternoon. after he had been
summoned. DR.. Aylett took Sergeant
Webb In his machine to demonstrate
to him that the eight-mile limit is
ridiculous. Running his machine
along with q street car from the ship
yard to Twenty-fifth street, the doctor
proved by his speedometer that the
trip had been made at an average rate
of fifteen miles an hour. This test
, led to the arrest Of Motorman Wes-
ton. In testifying. Sergeant Webb
stated that 1t appeared to him that
the car was running at an unusually
low rate of speed.
nr Avlett's case haa attracted more
attention than any of the auto cases

U. $. SENATOR'S FROM IOWA.
History of Their Election Makes an
Interesting Story.

The General Assembly of Iowa
has been called upon twenty-four
times to elect United States Senators
since Iowa was admitted into the
Union in 1916. Thirteen men have
thus been chosen to represent the
State in the upper house of Con-
gress. The elections, almost with
out exception, have been warmly
contested, and many times the fight
was long and bitter
. Mr.. Dan E. Clark, Research AS
sistant in The State Historical So
ciety of Iowa, is preparing History
of the election Of United States
Senators From Iowa." and he has
discovered many interesting facts
in his search for material during the
past year. The first election, for
instance, was an exciting one. For
two years the new state of Iowa was
without representation in the United
States Senate because the two houses
of the legislature were deadlocked
and no choice was made.
Another election which was bitter
ly fought was the election of James
Harlan in 1855. followed by con-
test in the United States Senate
which ended with a decision that
the election had been illegal. Again,
the story of the struggle between
James Harlan and Samuel j. Kirk
wood in 1866 reads like a novel.
But one of the most prolonged and
bitter contests in the whole history
of senatorial elections in Iowa was
the campaign which preceded the
first election of william B. Allison
in 1872. Allison's chief rival was
James Harlan, whose third term in
the Senate was about to expire.
Between the friends of these two
men there was waged a combat
which was characterized by the most
violent personal attacks.
Many other interesting contests
might be mentioned, as for instance,
the election of Senator Cummins in
1908. When the complete account
is published by The State Historical
Society of Iowa it will be valuable
as well as a readable addition to
Iowa political history.

The New COacllman.

A gentleman in want of a coach
man had an Irishman apply for the
situation, when the following con-
versation took place between them:
You know Pat. If l engage you
shall expect you to do things by
combination. For instance. If 1 tell
you to bring the carriage round at
a given time l shall expect the hors-
es with it and driving gloves, etc. "
Eyes, sorr," said Pat.
He was duly engaged and gave
satisfaction. One day his master
came to him telling him to look
sharp and go for doctor, as his
mistress was i'll. Pat was gone for
a long time, and on his master
grumbling at him for his delay he
said:
Sure. they're all here, sorr."
"All here?" said the master.
What do you mean?"
Didn't you tell me to do things
by combination?"
Whats that got to do with it,"
said the master.
Well" said Pat, 1--WE got the
doctor, the parson and the under
taker. "-Reynolds Newspaper.

Land Values Increasing.

Ottumwa Courier: An article now
going the rounds of Iowa papers
gives the details of two dozen trans
fers of land in Hardin county within
the past two months. The average
price for which the land sold in
these two dozen transfers was $1O7.-
20 an acre. There were several
farms in the lot that sold for SIPS.
One farm; of 16G acres. which was
bought fifteen years ago at $50 an
acre. sold for $3.50. bringing the
owner a profit of $4,000. One
farm Of 200 acres. wnIcn was bought
four years ago for SOS an acre sold
for $780,. giving its owner profit
of $4,000. In the Courier last night
there was reference to the sale of
100 acres In Benton county at $16O
en- acre.
In nearly every issue of the Iowa
papers there is some reference to a
land sale at fancy prices. In most
of these cases if the matter were
traced down it would be shown that
the sale of the land brought a hand
some profit to the man who sold.
The sale of these lands have not
been brought about through govern
ment lotteries. There have been no
special trains bringing prospective
buyers in from the four quarters of
the globe. There have been no pub
licity campaigns, promising wonder
full retlrns for small investments.
The land has sold strictly on it's
merits, the buyer realizing that
he was making safe investment
in securing land of established value
that assured him comfortable living
and a certain profit In a future sale.

LAWYERS WAR
 ON LAW TRUST

New York. Nov. 19.-The question of whether a corporation which practices law acts in restraint of trade is in volved in proceedings which have been bropght by the Grievance committee of the Brooklyn Bar Association before the Appellate Division in that bor- ough- Charles J. McDermott. chair man of this committee, asked the court yesterday for an order requiring the Cooperative Law ComIrany of Temple Bar to show cause why the permission given it to practice law should not be revoked Decision was reserved. The legal fraternity of Brooklyn. and law yers In Manhattan as well. are await ing with deep interest the outcome of the case.
 In April last the so-caIled Sargent bill prohibiting corporations from prac- the Legislature. A few days later the Foley bill. prescribing a fine of 5000 and Imprisonment as penalties. for vio- lation of the law, was passed The Cooperative Law Company obtained from the Governor an opinion that the new law did not apply to companies organized under older ststutes. The company then obtained from the Ap- rellGte Division permission to continue in business.
 MT. McDermott, in the affidavit pre- scented by him yesterday. declared that lawyers must study for the profession and be admitted to the bar before they could practice, but that such a corpo- ration as the Cooperative Law Com rany could hire men who had not been admitted to the bar to work for them This, he contended, made such corpo- rations combinations in restraint of trade.

TO TEST BIG GUNS
 AT WAR BALLOONS
ArtiIlerymen Try to Riddle Them at the Sandy Hook PrsYing Ground.

New York Nov. 1s-some interest Ing tests. which it is expected will prove that balloons can be riddled and put out Of commission by artillery guns when properly manned will prob ibly be made at the Sandy Hook Prov ng Grounds. today The tests may laAt several days
 signal Corps win have charge of the balloons while the problem of how to destroy them is to be intrusted to some of the best-known of the ord nance and artillery officers
 The balloons which the artillerymen are confident will not stay aloft long after the big guns begin firing at them are now at the Hook ready to be sent up whenever the officers at the prov ing grounds, give the word. When they do go Lieut. Foulois will be on their trail. accompanied by detach- ment of the best trained enlisted men in the signaling arm of the service They will assist him during the con- ffnuance of the tests
 The balloons that are to figure in the tests were made in St Louis and are similar in model to the big gasbags that have figured in so many distance flights in recent years in various parts or the country. That the balloon is to play an important part in the wars of the future Is the opinion of most army men and these Sandy Hook tests are intended to show how to dispose of a fleet of them, sent up by an enemy.
 The signal corps men, who are to op- crate the balloons are from the College Park, Md, detachment, which has been operating the army aeroplane under Wilbur wright.s tutelage in the last few weeks Some surprises in range finding. it is rumored. will be one Of the interesting outcomes of the Sandy Hook tests The operations will n6 vrfn the subject of an exhaustive report to the War Department
