WEBSTER CITY WILL
LOSE This FACTORY
E. H. Martin Proposes to Erect
100000 Factory for Tele-
phone Meter Company.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: e. H
Martin, of Webster City, inventor O
the new telephone meter and sol,
owner of the International Tele
phone Meter Co., an Iowa corpora.
ton with capital of $1,000,0OO
met with the officials of the Com.
mercial club in this city today, with
whom he made preparatory arrange
ments for the location of his plant
and factory at Fort Dodge.
The plan under which the enter
prise is to be established in this city
has been formulated and the details
will be worked out without delay
While the arrangement can not be
definitely announced, Mr.. Martin
gives the assurance that it is salts
factory to him and a similar an
nouncement is made by the CONNER
cial club
There is in fact no doubt that this
great enterprise has been secured for
Fort Dodge
Mr.. Martin proposes to build a
plant to cost 100000. He has in
spected several possible sites. The
one favored by him will give him
twenty acres of ground for buildings |
and an additional tract of sixty acres
which may be subdivided into lots
and placed on the market 1t is un-
derstood that the grounds will be
given by the commercial club with
out any further bonus attached.
The industry which Mr.. Martin
has in view is believed by all tele-
phone experts to be of worldwide
Importance.
Mr.. Martin was seen today and Il
says the foregoing is substantial
ly true. The land in question is on
the Webster City road into Fort
Dodge, just this side of the Great
Western railroad. According to the
between Mr. Martin
and the commercial league of that
city, the league is to acquire title to
the land, plat it, reserving twenty
acres in the center for the factory,
and then sell the lots carved out Of
the remaining sixty acres to Fort
Dodge boosters, turning the proceeds
over to the Telephone Meter Com
pany. It is figured that those Who'll ]
buy lots will make good profit, as |.
they will probably double in value 1
as soon as the factory is built and
in running order. 1t appears like
feasible plan and if things go as they
are expected, everybody interested
will be financially benefited and the
town will secure valuable addition
70 its industrial interests.

CONTRIBUTING PLANT
DNEARTDED IN CANADA

Montreal, Dec. 23.-By raid on a
shack in the woods five miles from tbs
village of Lavaltrie yesterday, the po-
lice unearthed what is believed to be
the source of one of the most import
ant counterfeiting schemes discover
ed in years In this section. Five men
were arrested in the house where the
plant was located and a sixth man
was made a prisoner in Montreal
Their names were kept secret at first
but when the prisoners were taken to
Toilette it was learned that they are
Barthoomee Caron, Frederick Eaton

The police claim to have seized al

Chief Detective McCaskill said to
night that the house where the gani
operated was fitted up like an arsenal
Shotguns and revolvers and plenty o
ammunition were found and the gam
evidently intended to fight had they no
been taken by surprise.
1t was before dawn when the polio

SILENCE REIGNS
over deserted
CHIHUAHUA CITY
STORES ARE SEALED TIGHT
DeathIy Stiffness In Evidence
There Now

Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 23.-Con
troll of telegraph and railroad com
munication south and west of Chi.
huahua by Mexican rebels had today
reached a point where General Villa
believed he would be impervious to
an attack of the few federal troops
remaining in the north.
AS cities in rebel territory are OPP
ened to communication, General Villa
believes that soon the state of Sir
aloa, Durango and Chihuahua will be
free of federal control.
Although 1000 federals at Ojinga,
on the border, were reported to be
preparing for action, General Villa
believed they would be unable to do
more than destroy the railroad. The
general said that Chihuahua was too
well fortified to fear an attack.
The report that General Mercadc
had fed across the border, was re
garded here as the beginning of the
breaking up of the federal troops.
Thiscity, next to Monterey. the
most important center in the north,
is a scene OF desolation, occasioned. by
it's long siege and its subsequent
sacking by the invading rebels.
The stores, now sealed up against
further looting, are almost empty
The Uttered streets betray the haste
with which the federals took what
they could carry before they fed,
and also the eagerness with which
the rebels entered the shops to OBJ
tain what was left of food and cloth
ing. The Spanish cathedral and the
churches are empty since the priests
and nuns were expelled, and even
stopping of the cathedral clock and
the Quieting of its bells have i'm
posed a silence on the city.

NEGRO CHAMP KISSED
BY FRENCH FANS

Paris, Dec 23.-Jack Johnson, heavy
weight champion, and Battling Jim"
Johnson, of Galveston, Tex, another
negro pugilist, met in a ten-round
contest here tonight which ended in
draw. The spectators loudly pro-
tested throughout that the men were
not fighting and demanded their
money back. Many left the hall.
The organizers of the fiasco explain
cd by asserting that Jack Johnson's
left arm was broken in the third round
There Is no confirmation of report
that Jack Johnson had been stabbed
and no evidence at the ringside of such
an incident. During the first three
rounds he was obviously playing with
his opponent Later it was observed
that he used only his right hand.
After the fight he complained that
his arm had been injured. Doctors cer-
titled to a slight fracture of the radius
Of the left arm. The general opinion
is that his arm was injured in al
wrestling bout early this week and
that blow caused the fracture Of the
bone.

MOLLY-COTT OA-TA|L
PROTECTED BY LAW

Atlanta, Dec, 23.-You can't kill a
molly-cotton-tail in Georgia without
having a hunters license! That is, you
can, but you shouldn't, and IL you do
the game warden will probably get
you. The rabbits are not protected by
the game law, but you have to have a
license to kill them just the same.
State Game Warden Davis has receiv-
ed official notice of numerous arrests
ind convictions throughout the state
Turing the past couple of weeks, for
hunting without license, and for
other violations of the game law.
In Fulton county three negroes were
convicted last week in the Atlanta
criminal court and sentenced to pay
fines. Two alleged violators Of the
law have been bound over in DeKalb
county, and other arrests have been
made.

YACHT ENDS CRUISE
OF $1,000 MILES

New York, Dec. 23.-After a three
and one-half years cruise about the
world, during which she travelled So,
600 miles, the nonmagnetic yacht Car
|negie, of the Carnegie Institution at
Washington, dropped anchor today in
Erie basin, South Brooklyn.
During every day of her trip through
frigid and torrid zones, scientists on
board the 155-foot auxiliary yacht
took magnetic observations, and they
brought back with them records of in
portant errors, particularly in the
charts showing the compass variations
over the Indian ocean. The correction
of these errors will prove of great i'm
portance to navigators, William J..
Peters, of the department of terrestrial
magnetism of the institution, who COM
handed the vessel, said tonight
The Carnegie has practically no mag
netic metals in her makeup save the
small auxiliary engine used to supple
ment the 1890 feet of sail she car
ries The yacht Is 1876 feet over all,
with displacement of sos tons.
