EVIDENCE. Is MISSING.
Police Fail 60 Secure Names Of Mer
Frouusntina Disrsputable House.

poICO Fou 20 oVSuVO NS"Oo " 'ess
Froqusntins Disrsputabls House.
Special to Times-Aepublican.
Des Moines, July 25.-One of the
very strange things in connection with
the trial Of Mrs. Maurice Lynch. in
police court in this city, is that with
overwhelming evidence as to the fe-
male inmates of the house, and their
names. their past history and all the
details Of their conduct. 1t appears that
not a man was ever there. at least not
any man whose name can be discov-
cred. The chief Of police announced
with much flourish that he had list
of names of prominent citizens that
would create a sensation when 1t was
read off; but in some mysterious way
the list has disappeared.
The remarkable thing about the case
has been that the women who had
been guests at this richly furnished
house gave the major evidence and
seemed to vie with each other in going
into details as to the various forms OF
wickedness which prevailed there. IL
was not necessary to get the testimony
Of detectives or outsiders. but the
corroboraiink testimony from neigh
bors was ample and fully supported the
main evidence The bad character OF
the place was much in evidence.
Another feature of the case that mas
attracted general attention is that no
progress was ever made by the CHIEF
in getting evidence at the place until
after his summary discharge OF three
or four police officers some time ago
for tipping off raids. Prior to that
time all his raids at the Lynch home
were fruitless.
The publication with great headlines
of the details of the evidence In this
case has kept Des Moines gossips
busy the past few days. The first OF
the trials is over but an important
state case remains to be heard.

Of Violation Of Ordinance.
Waterloo, July 25.-As the result Of
recent violations of the city automo-
bile-street car car ordinance several
persons have been injured on Waterloo
streets. The following accidents have
resulted from violations:
Ten-year- girl seriously injured,

Dies Moines. July 2s.-The fact that
In the state fair rate case the rail =
roads concede the claim OF the state
that the reduced rates would be COM
pensatory. IL regarded az very i'm
portant admission in relation to other
rate cases pending. 1t is believed the
backing up on this question was due
to the recent decision of the United
States court in the Minnesota rate
cases.
Judge Carr, for the Great Western,
admitted that as a matter of fact the
railroads will make profit on the ex-
cursion business at the reduced rates
fixed by the legislature. Mr.. Sergeant
said that as for the Rock Island 1t
would be glad to so after the business
for the money there was in it. So the
question Of non compensatory rates
went out Of this case.
But the railroads having admitted
that reduced excursion rates may be
compensatory 1t will have a big effect
on other rate cases. The interstate
commerce commission has recognized
the right to discrimination by order
Ing communication rates in some places.
The propriety Of special rates for
school children on street cars has been
recognized by the courts. So II the
question Of confiscation Of property by
nom compensatory rates is cut out,
there is not much left in this and sim
liar cases.
This admission will also have some
bearing in case there is ever an att
tempt to declare insufficient the Iowa
2-cent fare rate.
Express companies rather went too
far in their showing before the state
executive council as to poverty and
demand for relief for taxation. To fol-
low their argument literally to the end
would lead to a ridiculous situation.
They contended they should be taxed
on their profits on express business
business in Iowa. then proceeded to
show how much they had earned and
what deductions should be made. They
showed deductions 80 great that, fol-
lowing the argument to its conclusion,
it would only be fair for the state to
pay them bonus for staying in Iowa
and continuing to accommodate the
public. When the state executive
council got to figuring express assess
ments down below the zero line they
stopped and decided that perhaps not
all the figures submitted are reliable.
Much the same condition prevails,
however. as to all the branch railroad
lines Of the state. the railroads show
ing them to be money losers instead
Of money makers. hence they should
not be taxed. but rather the companies
should receive a bonus for operating
them
