CAR shops IN CITY POLITICS
Iowa Central Threatens to Remove
Them from MarshaIItown.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, March H.-(Spe-
c~ial.)-The industrial fight between this
city and Oskaloosa over whether the gem
eral shops of the Iowa Central shall be
moved to Oskaloosa or enlarged and re-
main here is now at it's height. Yesterday
a committee from Oskaloosa waited on the
general officers of the company In Mime
apolis. Tonight a committee from this city
returned from there. When 1t left General
Manager Manly 3. Cutter announced that
he would give no decision in the matter
until after the election In this city on
March g. He has been accused of using
the threat to take away the shops as a
club to beat Mayor o. l. Ingledue for re-
election because of the claim that Ingledue
failed to give the company the protection
1t was entitled to during the strike of the
shopmen last summer. 1t is also charged
that he aided and abetted the strikers. His
determination not to announce his decision
followed the receipt of a letter from Mayor
lngledue In which the latter accused him
of dragging the road into local politics.
As a result the local city campaign has
become tense In It's vindIctiveness.

ANTI-SALo0N LEAGUE ASKS
CANDIDATES THEIR POSITION
Sends Ont Letters 10 One
and Twenty-Five Running fer
Council TO Pick n Slate.

Letters have been sent to the LIS eandi
dates for the city council on the three tick
cts by the Anti-saloon league, through
Harry A. Stone. secretary, asking where
they stand on the saloon question. Three
are propounded In the letters,
one asking IL they favor a patrol system
for saloons, another II they favor reducing
the number OF saloons and increasing the
license fee OF those remaining so as to re-
eeive about the same revenue as now. and
a third II they will favor the closing OF all
saloons between the hours OF II O'Clock at
night and I o'clock in the morning.
''The Anti-Saloon league favors a patrol
district such as the city of Minneapolis
has. which limits the saloons in number and
keeps them within a certain bounded dis
trict," Mr.. Stone writes in his letters to
the c~ouncilmanic candidates:
we believe that saloons In residence dis
tricta cause more drunkenness and domestic
districts. The residence district saloon Is
also a greater danger to women and chill
dren. Red-light district saloons are con-
coded by everybody to he breeding places
for crime and aggravate the evils OF prostl-
tuition.
Following are the three questions pro-
pounded to the candidates;
VIII you, II elected 10 the oman city
council, vote for AN ordinance establishing
a patrol district bounded by the following
streets, and providing that no saloons shall
be liOsnsed outside said district: On the
north by Nicholas street, on the south by
william street, on the west by Eighteenth
street and on the east. from Nicholas to
Farnam streets, by Twelfth street. and
from Farnam to William streets. by the
Missouri river.
viii you. ~ elected 10 the Omaha city
council. vote for an ordinance reducing the
number OF saloons to, and limiting them to
$50, and to increase the license fee so as
to receive from them about the same rev.
enue as the income now IL from the pres
ent number?

Among the passengers was the Count

GALLOWAY. Neb,. March A.-(special.)-
At 10 O'Clock last night the blacksmith
shop OF Harry Evans, a two-story frame
structure. caught fire. By hard work the
firemen saved the frame OF the building,
although the interior Of same was en-
tirely Quilted. How the fire started Is a
mystery. The loss will be at least, 1900,
with no insurance, The Benjamin Stock
company was playing at the Bryner Opera
house, which was crowded. and when the
fire bell rang a panic and stampede was
narrowly averted. The opera house Is
on the second floor OF the building, with
but a narrow stairway for an exit. and
had the crowd not been assured that the
fire was not in that particular building,
there would certainly have been many in
jured and perhaps several killed in the
rush that would have taken place.
