where electrical power should be cheap.

The city of Savannah, Ca. is defying

THE BYERS BILLS.

The Marshalltown Times-Republican

bills only cursory examination, regrets
that The Chronicle can not come to the
aid Of the ambitious attorney gen
eral in his effort to destroy local gov
eminent Says our Marshalltown con-
temporary:
at is pity that the progressive and
sincere Odebolt Chronicle finds itself
opposed to the law enforcement plan
suggested by the attorney general. The
Chronicle is a bonny fighter on the
side it elects to support and the need
Of a better law enforcement should
commend itself to a journal so vigor-
ous.''
The Chronicle opposes the So
called enforcement bills prepared by
Mr.. Byers because they are revolu-
tionary and un- Alnerican; because
they provide that disreputable and ir-
responsible people may impose on
reputable and honest municipal Off
Gals the expense Of trials on trumpet
up charges and the discredit of being
under accusation; because in operation
they will arouse popular Indignation
and react on the party which must
assume responsibility for their enact
ment; because removal of officers is
made the function of the governor,
whereas every man accused has a
right to hearing in court and trial
by jury of his peers.
Senate File No. s, by Cosson, is q
sample. 1t provides that county attor-
neys, sheriffs, mayors, police officers,

moved by the governor upon charges

THE QUARANTINE QUESTION.

The state board OF health may and
times mistaken but the revulsion which
throws quarantine authority into the
hands of local boards seems to have
been particularly i'll advised. The state
board still has authority In buboaic
plague, yellow fever, leprosy and chol-
era which Is equal to giving chief Of
police authority to regulate excessive
speed of air ships. All the dangerous
and common epidemic diseases are
turned over to control of local authors
ties.
Whatever the board of health may
have overdone and left undone 1t FUR
nished court of appeal over the de-
cision of local boards and local author
tiles which as every one knows are
often remiss from carelessness and
usually inclined to suppress all open
disease. 1t Is a common story how
smallpox is concealed in the fear that
'it will keep the farmers out Of town"
until its alarming increase forces ac-
ton. The state board gave relief to
the citizens who revolted and called for
protection! When the state health Off
Ger arrived something actual was do
ing in quarantine circles.
We are asking for state interference
in the matter of cattle affected with
tuberculosis. Why should the state be
barred in the matter of other infec-
stious diseases? An epidemic of small
pox or of typhoid is a state wide ques-
ton of immediate Importance

MIGHT FIGHT AGAIN
SAID THAT JEFFRIEs IS GETTING IN SHAPE TO AGAIN
 ENTER THE RING

FRESNO, February 12.--James J. Jeffries arrived in Fresno today and was informed of the offer of Billy De- laney to match Al Kaufman against him for $l0,00o side bet. Jeffries seemed surprised that his former man ager should offer to bet against him and ventured the opinion that Kaufman could not lick postage stamp.
 It was stated by Sam Berger, who is sparring partner for Jeffries, that the retired champion is training quietly be- fore and after his performances, and that it is evident he is getting ready to enter the ring again. Those in charge of the Jeffries troupe says the big fellow is receiving an average of ten offers day from all parts of the country to fight Johnson.

 10 Ouerthrow Rulers

CONSTANTINOPLE, February 12.- The new government seems to be on the edge of serious crisis as the re- suit of the. sudden removal of Aotaman ,Nisimi Pasha, minister of war, and Arir Pasha, minister of marine, who, without public explanation, were replaced on Wednesday by Nazim Pasha and Husni Pasha, respectively.
 Kishmil Pasha, grand vizier, in dis charging the ministers, was aetuated by the necessity of frustrating coup 'etat which was being arranged by the committee of union and progress, to establish military dictatorship un- der Prince Yussof Izzedin.
 The affair is the climax to the strug. gle between two rival reform parties, the committee on union and progress, and the liberal union.
 The crisis further developed tonight by the resignation of the president of the council, and the resignations of the ministers of justices, interior and fin anee.

HEARING 0F COUCH POSTPONED TILL
 MONDAY
GOOD CHARACTER or MAN WHO HELD UP BRICK SALOON
 sUsTAINs INTEREST.
SHOWED EXCITEMENT AT TlME|
THEORY ADVANCED BY SOME OF HIS FRIENDS THAT HE WAS
 TEMPORARILY INSANE.

l Justice Hinson Thomas, at the re- quest of Attorneys Flannigan & Jones, who arc defending the prisoner, has postponed the preliminary hearing of Lonie Couch from today to Monday af- ternoon.
 Owing to the good character borne by the accused and his great popularity among all who knew him, interest in the case continues at high pitch, and discussions of the holdup of the Brick saloon and the personality of ths de- fendant could be heard everywhere yes terday
 | The gist of street talk was that Coueh must have been beside himself, pos i. Ibly insane, when he entered the saloon. It was noticed by several persons inc day before the robbery that the youhg man was laboring under intense excite ment, so much so that his actions were freely commented upon. Couch, whic ready to resent personal afrront, was not of temperament to look for trou- ble, and when he was offered position as guard at the mines he refused it, saying frankly that he thought it was too dangerous.
 On the night of the robbery, however, he was suddenly transformed into a des. perado and recklessly took risks that no seasoned robber would have thought of.
 As he entered the saloon, Couch gave his orders in disguised voice. But he continued talking and at times dropped his voice to it's normal tone. This was the case when he scooped the money from the black jack table and some of the coins rolled into cuspidor.
 Roll, you -, roll, {" said the robber in fury. Then turning to the men lined up against the wall, he added, "The first man who turns his head IS q dead one
 Not content with having got all the money in sight, including all he saw in the cash register, and leaving the place unmolested, the robber returned three times to the door and warned the men as many times not to move for five or | ten minutes.
 Sheriff J. II. Thompson, yesterday, denied that any of his men were in the saloon at the time of the robbery.
 The only special deputies on the grounds of the old Dominion are E. $. Harrison, who patrols the shelter and machine shop neighborhood, and Lee x.-kn AL. n of the property, around the shaft. Gar. ner was far from the place at the time, and Harrison, who was unjustly twitted by his friends yesterday, was seen on duty by many persons while the saloon was being held up.
 1 The man who was reported as being an officer, in the Brick saloon at the time of the pbbery, is L. S. Wilson, a former watehman at the mines.

HELD FOR HIS RABrs DEATH
Insanely Jealous Father Said to Have Resented Attentions of Mother
 in-Law to Child.

HUNTINGTON, W. ", February 1. --Because his mother-in law held his baby, George A. Matherly is charged with carrying out his threat by commit ting infanticide. The child died sever al days ago under suspicious cireum- stances. A eoroner's jury investigated and decided it wa murdered at the hands of it's father.
 It was buried the same day it died. The father objected when Mrs. Will Via, neighbor, wanted to call 8 phy- sician during its illness. An autopsy shows its back was broken. Several days before the child s death, it is said, neighbors claim to have heard Matherly tell his wife that if she ever allowed her mother, Mrs. Meadows, to fondle the child, he would kill it.

ROME ASKS F0R HIM
THE MUCH WANTED RUBERTo IS SOUGHT BY ONE MORE
 POLICE CHIEF.

Greatly cheered by the uncertainty in which the officers find themselves in his case, the governors warrant nct yet having materialized, Alessandro Ru- berto, the Italian confidence man, spent yesterday happily enough in the com panionship of his fellow prisoners in the county jail.
 He fancied he saw himself secure in Globe, with assured prospects of being held here for trial, and in the joy of his heart he followed hinisclfn in a big celebration which was eagerly shared by all of the prisoners. There was pie galore, apples in abundance, oranges, bananas, more pies, cake and all sorts of dainties, and Rubcrto en- joyed the feast immensely.
 But while he feasted, Ruberto con. tinued an object of much interest to police officers all over the country. The United States was his oyster, to para phrase the poet, and requests for tho custody of his portly little person con tinue to arrive.
 The latest "application for Ruber- to was received last night by City Mar shal Anderson from Rome, N. Y. The smooth Italian must have found rich piekings among tho Romans of the Elm pire state, judging from this letter:
