Is the story Of the police matter.
When the matter Of appointing the
police marshal came up, three of the
council voted for a man who had
worked to secure their election. The
appointment was opposed by two of
the councilmen, one of whom had
charge Of the department of public
safety. Utwittingly one Of the three
above mentioned, who voted for his
appointment, dropped some remark
which led the public to believe there
had been promise made before elec-
ton. This suspicion was furthered by
the fact that the councilman in charge
OF the department Of public safety
opposed the appointment It may be
here remarked that the police come
under the department of public safety.
A petition for recall on the council
man making the unfortunate remark
was at once started. However, be-
fore 1t reached the council, that body
had had a meeting and quickly re-
Voked the appointment and appointed
police marshal who met public
favor. This little incident is simply
illustrative Of the fact that these
politicians were not used to the new
deal. In other words, they were not
weaned away from the granting of
favors not based on merit.
The Recall.
This attempted rAcall opened the
eyes of the council to the new order
OF things and from then on all en-
tered conscientio iously. into the spirit of
the new system. AS an example Of
their change Of heart their appointee
to the office Of city attorney was a
man Who had been member of the
committee of 25 business men who
mad fought at every stage Of the game
the election of these politicians.
Tho Only Objection.
Your committee endeavored to To-
cate any opposition to this city gov
ernment in Des Moines. The first
opposition was met by a clerk in a.
cigar store, who said the commission
was not popular. When asked to ex-
plain he stated that about the first
thing the new council did was to
abolish slot machines. OF course it
is an open question whether slot
machines should be abolished, allowed
to run openly, or be licensed How
ever, in Des Moines the city council
abolished them. Your committee in
terviewed about 40 people in Des
Moines, and the only objection en-
countered was tl1ex one just stated,
which Of course was met with gen.
orally among cigar stores and saloons,
where the abolishInent Of the slot
machine had injured their business.
Benefits of Plan.
Among the people We interviewed
were business men Of all classes, pro-
fessional men and laborers. The uni
versal comment was statement Of
entire satisfaction. ALI agreed that
the council even though they had
been politicians, had given the city
magnificent administration. The bit
terest opponents of the election of
these men were hearty in their praise
of the manner in which the city af-
fairs were being conducted. It is the
system under which results can be
accomplished by the elimination of
partlsanship. The most frequently
heard comment is the expression of
opinion that any abuse of public
TRUST can be detected at once and the
blame can be attached directly to the
person at fault. There can be no
shifting Of responsibility. There is
always some one person to blame and
the system singles him out"

The Chair of Torture.

T'he most prominent building in the ancient city of Nurembug is the cas tie. One of it's two towers was useil for torture. the other served as s prison. The castle also contained a museum of horrors until it was pur chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot. in whose possession these rel les now lie. One of these was the chair of toriure. It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes To it the victim was tightly bound and in short time discomfort began to manifest itself and in time became unbearable. During it's continuance the torture was increased In several ways by means of wedges being pass ed between the legs and screws being applied to the thumbs until they be gan to bleed.

 INSURANCE CARRIED
ORIGINATED IN THE BASEMENT

Fire of which the origin is as yet unexplained, destroyed the house of Emil Maurel, on Pinal street, at l2.30 this morning, entailing loss of prob ably $500.
 It is understood that Maurel carried some insurance on the property, Wheth- CT the insurance will cover the loss or not could not be learned this morning.
 The fire originated in the lower part of the house, which was one-story frame building, with high basement. Before the alarm could be spread, the flames had eaten their way through to the upper part of the building and be- fore the neighborhood was aroused, the home was a mass of flames.
 Maure and his family were out of the city and the exact contents of the house could not be learned. According to Jule Maurel, brother of the owner, there was something like $500 worth of furniture in the house. He stated that the building cost about $l,000. Ii was erected year ago.
 The house was not located near any other buildings, and in spite of the high wind the fire burned itself out without spreading.

Another chapter in the drama of

Mr.. Tatley says he wants a prompt
hearing and the date will be set today.
1t is said the complaining witness is
not at present in the city, and this leads
to speculation as to what is at the bot
tom of this matter whether some
spotter from the Enforcement league has
been around or whether it is a sort of
dragnet proceeding instituted by some
of the blind piggers who have recently
been bound over to the district court.
Probably warrants are out for the
other hotels The fact of their not
having been served promptly does not
argue against their issue, as Nj: Tatley
was informed when served with his war
rant that the sheriff had had the same
for couple of days and had just got
around to serve it-there being no spe-

Springfield, H., Feb. ia decis~
ion said to be of great importance
throughout the country was rendered
by the supreme court today when
decision was handed down invalidat-
ing the sale of the majority stock
of the Kellogg Switch Board Company
to the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company.
The contract for the sale of the
stock of the Kellogg company, big
independent concern, was entered into
eight years ago. 1t was fought to
the supreme court on technicalities,
and then sent back to the lower
courts to be tried on it's merits.
The suit was filed by the minority
stockholders through one of their
number, F. w. Dunbar, F. H. Robbins
acting as attorney in the matter. The
sale was opposed on the ground that
it is against the public policy of the
state to allow a foreign corporation
to secure control of a corporation for
the purpose of creating a monopoly.
II think today's decision will end
the case said Mr.. Robbins Il see
no point in which it can be carried
to the supreme court Of the United
States, and the settlement ought to
be regarded as great good news By
the independent telephone companies
throughout the country They have
watched the case closely Throughout

cases In other states cannot but. Be
affected BY the decision handed down
