COUNCIL GETS READY ToA3sEss
FOR STATE, EAST MAIN
AND LINN STREETS.
MANY PROPERTIES NOT
AUDITING TO BE ASSESSED
First Application Of the New Law
That Allows Council to Spread A..
sessment Over Property That Does
Not Front on Paving Will Be Tried
Out Locally.

For the convenience Of Carey &
Sons, paving contractors, and IN order
that the contractors may get certih-
Gates and negotiate them for pay for
part of the whole paving contract, the
city council has agreed to divide the
contract into two sections. The hrst
of these is now finished. 1t Includes
State, East Main, and Linn streets.
In preparation for formal accept
ance Of these streets, and the assessing
of the cost of the improvement to the
properties, City Engineer w. H. Steiner
is now preparing plats and schedules.
New Assessment Method.
The assessments for this section will
be the first instance In the history OF
local street paving that any property
but that which abuts the pavement
will be assessed for the Improvement.
Acting under the new law the council
will assess the cost of not only the
paving that abuts the properties but
also the street and alley intersections
to the abutting properties and all prop
critics back half the distance to the
next street, but not to exceed dis
lance of 800 feet In any case.
This method OF assessment will re-
suit in assessments being levied
against forty-on properties near State,
Main and Linn streets that do not abut
the pavement in those streets.
Some Double Assessment.
In cases where lots front On the
paved street and extend back to the
alley parallel with the street paved no
other property can be assessed for the
pavement that abuts that lot. But II
the rear sixty feet Of the lot, for eX-
ample, is separate tract, and fronts
on an intersecting street then it would
be assessed for proportionate share OF
the pavement.
Lots at corners where both streets
are being paved will be subject to a
double assessment, one assessment for
each side.
To Assess Back 900 Feet.
In the case Of Twelfth, Boone, and
Church streets that are in the section
two" of the paving contract, the as
sessments will be spread back to 800
feet from the property line instead OF
only 10 the alley. This condition will
exist because north and south of Boone
street, east Of Twelfth street and south
of Church street there are no streets
for more than 600 feet. This condition
allows the city to go back 800 feet,
which is the maximum 1t can go, in
spreading out the assessment, there
being no alley half way that is closer
to these streets on the sides listed than
800 feet.

Does the daily use OF coffee as a

years. do HARM"
Yes" says DR.. W. A. Evans in the
Chicago Tribune. "a horse cannot be
whipped daily for years without being
harmed. A man can not be nagged
continuously for years without being
harmed. The very fact that, when ia
tigue is slowing down muscles and
brain cells, coffee will whip them on,
and that under the stimulus Of coffee
the working capacity is unduly ex-
cited, is proof that harm will come il
the process is kept up for series OF
years"
Fatigue is a danger signal" adds
another investigator. 1T means that
the weary body should Immediately
seek rest. Caffeine In any form puts
mask on this signal and temporarily
conceals it by whipping up the reserve
forces and then consuming them.
I Fatigue is like a red light that calls
attention to ditch In the dark. No
body with common sense would as

Of a completed schedule. Boston yester-
day blocked the negotiations when the

disappointment Of the Philadelphia
players, who were willing to make the
trip as originally planned.
The first notice Of the abandonment
Of the trip In this city came to Lewis
Tate late Thursday afternoon in reply
to message asking that the two clubs
arrange to play one OF the exhibitions
in Marshalltown on the trip west.
Messages to the managers OF the two
teams and other baseball officials. were

were to have been played. AS it has
been demonstrated the past season that

Of securing the two pennant winners

music lovers. The production here re-
yealed is one Of the best that has been
offered Of The Bohemian Girl In the
tri-cities for several years. 1t has a
strong cast Of principals. all OF them
worthy; the best singing chorus that
has been heard here in a standard
opera for long time; and the scenic
environment and the costumes, par
ticularly in the closing act, are more
pretentious than the productions this
same company have staged here In the
past.
"Prominent in the cast are Joseph
F.. Sncehan, still huge favorite, who
sings the role of Thaddeus: Miss
Mirth Carmen, who makes much OF
the role Of Airline; Miss Elaine De

Coach Sanford called halt on prac-

and the Marshalltown high school foot
ball eleven was declared fit for q cruel
ing battle with Cedar Falls on the lat

The work this week has been most
encouraging, the members Of the squad
getting into the game with more vim
and determination than has marked the
play this season.
The line looks At to meet any team In
the state, and the back field is showing
greatly improved form. j. Smith, at
tackle, who has played remarkably
good game in the early contests, is
proving himself one Of the real sensa-
| tions Of the season. and with Captain
Packer on the opposite side Of the line,
the Marshalltown school probably has
the best pair Of tackles in the state.
This afternoon the second team and
| the "scrubs" met In match contest.
The game was important in that it
was expected to show the real playing

looked upon as first team possibilities.

DETERMINED TO END
ENL|ST|NG OF ALIENS
Secret Service Operatives
Make Arrest on Conspiracy
Charges at San Francisco.

Representatives Of the European bel
ngerents who are enlisting soldiers in
this country will wind UP in the Federal
penitentiaries.
President Wilson. II has been learned,
has decided there have been too many
fragrant violations Of the neutrality OF
this country. Aliens have been enlisting
men for service abroad in absolute dis
regard Of the Revised Statutes, which
makes such action a felony punishable
by three years' imprisonment and 81 900
fine. In order to end this the special
agents Of the Department of Justice and
Secret Service men especially loaned to
the State Department have been in
vestigating. Because 1t is hard to get
evidence that will convict of conspiracy,
only a few arrests have been made. but
others are declared to be In contempla-
ton.
The first big effort to obtain convic-
tions will come In San Francisco. Harry
@. Lane Is under arrest there charged
with being the head of a conspiracy by
which eleven men were enlisted. Seven
Of these men we're picked UP in New
York. and are now en- route back to
San Francisco under guard. II convic-
tions are obtained in these cases, Il Is
| likely that arrests will follow.
The Lane case consisted Of enl!sting

| attempt has been made to get men to
| fight with the Germanic nations Is a
matter on which none OF the officials

Opinion on Holding Ord

Army officers were deeply interested
today In q report that gained wide cir

ney General Gregory is prepared to
rule that President Wilson has sole
authority to reject designations OF
army, navy and marine corps officers.
The Attorney General. It is said. this
week will submit a written opinion to
Secretary OF War Garrison. who put
tho question UP 10 him after holding
UP the designations of two ordnance
officers desiring TO quit to take Jobs as
chief of departments IN big munition
plants.
The ruling Of the Attorney General
will be based, It Is said, on the fact
that he found no specific provision In
law preventing the President from
withholding acceptance of officers
designations.
A number of army officers who have
been given tempting offers by private
concerns are interested in the forth
coming ruling, in addition to Capt
Odns c. Horney and Major William A.
