Farmer becomes Dernnged.

Sidney D.. Smith, a farmer from Smith
shire. Warren county, Illinois, who came
&c Council Bluffs to visit his cousin, ]. II.
Ward Of III Iowa avenue, became mentally
deranged yesterday while on his way to the
Ward home. He was wandering about on
South First street and his strange behavior
attracted the attention of the people re-
siding on that street and they notified the
police.
Smith was first taken to police head
quarters, but little II anything, could be
learned from hin owing to his incohcrent
answers to all questions. Letters and pa
pefs on his person revealed his identity
and the fact that he was here to visit his
cousin, J.. H.. Ward. He was placed in st.
Demands hospital for the time being. Mr..
Ward told the. authorities that his cousin
was subject to attacks of mental abbera-
lion, but that as a rule when he felt them
somlng on he made for a hospital himself.

Women to Meet
to Form w. CA.
All Who Are Interested in Organizing
the Association Will Discuss
Matter Today.

A meeting of all women Interested In the
organization of a Young Woman's Chris
tian association in this city has been called
for this afternoon at 8 o'clock In the Young
Mems Christian association building. The
meeting was called by Mrs. Walter 1.
Smith, who represents the Council Bluffs
Woman's club in the movement. and who
is acting upon the advice of Miss Ada
Starkweather, the state secretary, who
visited Council Bluffs last week and looked
over the situation.
Much interest has been manifested In
the movement and the women back of 1t
are ~anguine Of success. They believe that
but little difficulty win be found in secur-
ing a membership list of bout 500. This
number, it is figured, would insure the sue
cess Of the undertaking.
1t is hoped that a large number of WOMEN
will attend the meeting this afternoon.
Even IL the organization of a Young
Woman's Christian association is not de-
termined upon at this time, It is under
stood that steps will be taken to establish
a boarding house for young women in this
city. It is generally conceded that there
is urgent need of pleasant quarters for
young women working here and who have
no relatives in the city.

julius Kruttschnitt Makes This State
ment in Defense Of Management
of Merged Roads.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-In the continue
lion Of the hearings of the government
suit to dissolve the Union Pacific merger
today, John A. Monroe, general freight
manage OF the company, was questioned
by II. N. Loomis OF counsel for the de
PENDANTS. Mr.. Monroe gave a history OF
Portland special. a thirty-four-freight train
which was run for a short time by the
Union Pacific between Ogden and Council
Bluffs. This train, he said, had been put
on as the result Of a dispute between the
receivers OF the Union Pacific end the
officials of the oregon Short Line. II was
discontinued in sixty days when the dis
pute was settled.
Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president Of both
the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
and director OF maintenance and operation
Of the merged lines, was a witness at the
afternoon session.
He produced figures to show that the
increase in the cost of labor since 1901
had reached an average Of II per cent for
all classes OF employees. -
The public had saved 1854. 900, 900 since
1901, Mr.. Rruttschnitt declared. because his
railroads had not raised freight and pas
senger rates to meet the increased cost of
commodities and labor.
AS showing what the Union Pacific has
done to develop the system the witness
gave figures instanc;ng that during the
eight years ending June 30, 1909, a total Of
t121 SOS, 900 had been expended for improve
nents.
40 said the five years preceding the re-
organization OF the Union Pacific only
eco, 900 was spent for general betterments
and in the three years succeeding 1854, 0O)
was expended for the same purpose.
In another set of figures he represented
that in the eight years ending June 30.
1901, only s57, 722.W 20 was spent by the South
ern Pacific for all classes of Improvement
In efficiency while in the eight years end
ing June 80, 1900, there was expended a
total of s241, 04LOOo.
On the whole, the witness pictured the
merged system as a national benefactor
that had dug deep down in it's pockets to
provide a railroad system Of the highest
efficiency. The hearing goes on again to-
morrow.
