the Bridge Com
pany.
WANTS TESTIMONY IN
Wilson's Statements Before coroner's
Jury Should Have Been
Allowed 10
Claim.

Motion for new trial in the case OF
Glenn ]. Spring, admr against the
Keokuk and Hamilton Bridge company
was fled this afternoon The attor-
neys for Spring in asking for new
trial. allege that the court erred in
refusing to permit the plaintiff to
show that lantern was defective,
and in not admitting the testimony
of James L. Wilson before the cor.
oner's Jury or the testimony of Joe
lO'Blennes as to what Wilson told him.
The plaintiffs are claiming that
/ O'Blennes lost his life in the effort
to save the life of James l.. Wilson,
then bridge engineer, when lantern
exploded, 1t is alleged, and O'Blennes
in throwing the burning instrument
into the river, fell out Of the doorway.
This is specifically set out in the
third paragraph Of the moson for a
new trial as follows: Because the
court erred in refusing to permit the
plaintiff to show that the lantern was
defective, when it exploded and that
the deceased in emergency to save
the property of the defenda>-: and life
of James L. Wilson, engineer, in a
critical moment, lost his life in throw
ing the lantern through an unguarded
door into the Mississippi river"
The plaintiff claims the court erred
in not permitting the Wilson testi-
mony before the coroner, and the
statements made to Joe O'Blennes by
Wilson, now dead
It is also claimed that the court
erred in striking out the testimony OF
lClem Spring in regard to statement
with John H. Cole, manager of the
company.
The plaintiff declares, also. that he
has been deprived of his constitutional
rights as stated in section /. article l
of the constitution of the United
States, also of his rights under the
state constitution.
That the Judge usurped power OF
the jury in taking the case from it, is
another contention of the -,laintiff in
the motion. The verdict is attacked
as being contrary to law
The instinct of man to avoid
danger is also spoken OF IN one of the
counts in the motion. In the twen-
tieth paragraph of the motion the
plaintiff say: Because the court er-
red in preventing the jury to consider
the instinct OF men which naturally
leads them to avoid danger as evi-
dence of due care on the part of the
deceased"

MASTER IS GIVEN
CASE To DECIDE
First Phase in the Telephone Rate
Hearing is Brought to Close
in the Federal
Building.
ARGUMENTS COMPLETED
Both Sides Expect Judge Mcpherson
Will Have to Make
the Final Rul-
ines.

The first skirmish In the legal battle
between the Iowa Telephone company
and the city of Keokuk terminated to-
day and Judge Robert Sloan of Keo-
sauqua will take the matter under ad-
Visement. The question submitted to
Judge Sloan in this hearing has been
that of the right of the city to enter
into contracts with the company, and
to issue franchises. The question of
whether rates are confiscatory or not
will be separate issue and will be
heard later.
Which ever way Judge Sloan de-
cides the case will be taken up before
Judge Smith Mcpherson of the fede--
al court Either side has the privilege
Of excepting to the decision of the
special master.
The time this morning was taken
lp with the continuance of the argu-
ment by Major w. B. Collins, special
attorney for the city of Keokuk. Major
Collins was arguing the question to-
day of the city's rights to enter into
contract with the telephone com.
pany. He held that the city had the
right and that it was exercised in re.
ations with the Central Unios com.
pany which was purchased by the
Iowa Telephone company which oper-
ated for several years under this fran
chise or contract.
Major Collins showed that NE city
has the power to transact such busi-
ness given 1t by its charter. He cited
the ordinances and the charter of the
city.
Major Collins was interrupted sever
al times in the progress of his argu.
ments by Judge Sloan.
Should the special master rule favor.
ably for the city In this case, it Is be-
lieyed by the attorneys ror the city
that they will have good chance in
the hearing over the rates.
1t is expected that Judge Sloan's
decision may be given within the
next ten or fifteen days.
Major Collins completed his argu-
ment before noon. and this afternoon
Attorney w. E. Miller was making his
final argument Judge Sloan will re-
port on the matter as soon as he has
had time to examine the briefs and to
look up the authorities citeS Judge
