Gasoline Destroys Cottage.

Fire resulting from the explosion of a
gasoline cook stove destroyed the cottage
owned and occupied by John McCarg and
family at 1904 Avenue D, shortly before 5
O'Clock yesterday morning. The family was
unable TO ave any OF the furniture or per-
sonal effects and barely escaped with their
lives, so rapid was the progress Of the
flames.
Members of the family had only time to
gather a few clothes and made their es-
cape from the burning building in their
night attire. The baby had a narrow es-
cape, as the flames had reached its cot be-
fore it was rescued by the father, who was
badly burned about the hands and face. A
friend who was visiting the family had
only time to seize a pair Of trousers and
an overcoat which he donned in the yard.
BY the time the firemen reached the
place the house was a mass of flames.
The nearest hydrant was a considerable
distance away and the firemen had to lay
l.I5O feet of hose before they could throw
water. The flames attacked an adjoining
cottage which was unoccupied and the
firenen had hard work to saw It.
McCarg carried 500 insurance on the
cottage, which was a small frame build
ing Of four rooms, but zone on the furni-
ture.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 30.-President-
elect Taft has effecutally put a quietus
on the desire which was beginning to de-
velop into activity to organize Taft clubs

political activity in any form. In this
view he is heartily seconded by MI

This subject was under direct consio

time to undertake to extend the influence
and organization in the National League
of Republican Clubs throughout the
southern states. preferably under the

firmly against the Taft club" PROPOSE

sh ould be called exactly what they are,

The subject was discussed between Mr..

CIVIL SERVICE FoR POLICE CHIEF
Effort to he Made TO Have Present
Law Changed.

- A@o ~ NChSh
Law Changed.
The question of the advlsability of plac-
ing the chief of police under civil service
and securing an amendment to the statute
which provides for the appointment of
the head of the police department by the
mayor of the city was discussed at length
at the meeting of the Board of Fire and
Police commissioners last night.
A move to secure this change In the stat
ute is said to have originated from Coun-
Gil Bluffs and the secretary of the local
board has been in communication with the
members of other fire and police boards
throughout the state ON the subject. 1t is
commended by those favorlng such a change
that it would bring the chief OF police and
the commission into closer relations and
would develop the efficiency of the depart
ment.
The three members of the commission
expressed themselves last night as ~favorlng
the change, and said that If a meeting
was called Of the various boards of COM
missioners throughout the state to take
action in the matter, that they would all
three probably attend it, instead Of sending
one of the Members as a delegate.
The board arranged to hold an examina-
ton next Tuesday evening In the city hall
of applicants for positions in both the fire
and police departments.

Monument.


MARsHALLTOWN, Ia, Dec. 3O.-tSpe-
cial.)-Is the grave of Henry Anson. the
founder and father of Marshall and the
father Of Adrian c. Arson of Chicago, the
noted ex-ball player, to go unmarked and
unknown by future generations? This is the
question which many friends of the dead
man are asking here, since it became
known that for more than a year a gran
ite monument, bearing the name of Henry
Arson, carved in it's rough surface had
been lying unclaimed in a local freight de-
not. No effort has been made to claim IT.,
although il was shipped prepaid and al
though II was purchased to be set up over
the last resting place of this pioneer owan.
According to the best obtain
able here the monument cost, set up $500,
As far as is known it was ordered by the
son, A. c.. Arson of Chicago, and it is
presumed that he ordered It believing that
his uncle, Horace Arson, of this city would
pay part OF the cost. Horace Arson says
he had offered to do so, but he never heard
further about the monument, until he
learned that it was here and had never
been claimed.
Henry Arson founded and established
Marshalltown. He gave to it vast tracts
Of land on which Marshall county's S175,O
court house is built and upon which stands
it's $50, 600 postoffice and the vast shops OF
the Iowa Central. He was a promoter OF
public good. and his memory is revered,
1t is probable that a movement will be
started by subscription to buy and set the
monument up.

SAYS THE MAYOR IS IN ERROR
City Attorney Insists He is Quoting
the Wrong Law.

"e "EOhB Lh"'
City Solicitor Glenn f. Kimball declared
yesterday that Mayor Maloney is in error
regarding the law governing the issuance
of bonds such as the city of Council Bluffs
proposes floating for the construction of
a municipal water works plant. Mr.. Kim
ball said that the section of the code cited
by Mayor Maloney as prohibiting the is.
suance of water works bonds until after a
contract for the construction of the plant
has been ratified by the voters of the city, is
not the one under which the proposed local
Issue is to be made. and has nothing to
do with the case. Mr.. Kimball made the
following statement:
In regard to the mayors criticism Of
bringing suit to test the validity Of the
for the purpose of satisfying purchasers
who might be influenced by just such
statements as are made by the mayor In
cause a contract for water works has
not yet been made and approved by the
Toms" who find fault with the procedure.
While appreciate the confidence the
mayor has in my opinion, it would seem
opinion is in conflict with section 75
of the code.
Section 745 of the supplement of the
~thirty-first general assembly, referred TO
by Mayor Maloney, provides for issuing
uoIuS without any vote OF the people,
but provides that the contract in such
cases for a water works plant must be
submitted to the people before the bonds
can be issued.
Section 1906. as amended by chapter 49
OF the acts Of the ~thirty-fiTst general as
sembly, provides a different and addi-
ttonal method of issuing bonds for water
works purpose by submitting the ques-
ton of indebtedness to the people and
then issuing the bond the same as bonds
are issued for street improvements. Sec
tion 1906 says: Nothing In this act shall
be construed as applicable 20 bonds is
sued under section 745 OF the supplement
of the code" which section 75 is the
one referred to by Mayor Maloney.
