RATE REDUCTION ASKED.
Receiver Of Iowa Falls Plant Asks
Changes in New Schedule.

Receiver OF Iowa Falls Plant Asks
Changes in New Schedule.
Special to Times :,
| Iowa Falls, Feb. 3.-One Of the first
Official acts Of A. B. Miller, who has
been appointed receiver for the cleo
trio light plant, was to appear before
the council and ask that some changes
be made In the new light and heat
schedule that the city put into effect
the 8th day of last month. It was
stated that the plant could not make
profit under the new rates, but the
| members Of the council declined to
| take any action unless some figures
could be offered that would warrant a
change. The matter was left and if
Mr. Miller can convince the council
| that the rates are confiscatory, some
relief may be offered, but this seems
hardly probable inasmuch as the best
experts in the state passed on the
plant before the rates were fixed and
the new schedule is based on a fair
earning power after operating and re-
pair items are taken care Of.
The rates now in force are also in
line with other cities and towns of the
size of Iowa Falls, and are also about
the same as are provided for in the
AA"ASHAoO "a SAY SSuai ISoPioS PSoPIc,
who are under contract to build
heating plant here this year or forfeit
their franchise. Dissatisfied with the
! conditions that have prevailed here
for some time and disguised with the
prolonged litigation in which the local
plant has been involved for years, the
sentiment in favor of municipal own
lership of the electric light plant seems
to be crystalizing and it looks as tho
some definite action along this line
would be taken unless some solution of
the matter is Forthcoming the next
few months.
The appointment Of receiver in
Polk county after application for one
had been made In this county and the
matters taken out Of Judge Wright's
hands, has met with considerable dis
favor here and it is possible that Judge
Wright may claim Jurisdiction and yet
act in the matter. The success Of the
municipal water works plant here and
the success that other Iowa cities have
made Of their municipal lighting plants
are elements that seem to influence
people here to support the municipal
ownership of another public utility.

| Corning, Feb. "a special train
carrying $4,000 in gold and currency
and an additional $4,000 in cash re-
ceived by express, aided materially
yesterday in stopping a run on the
Okey-vernon National Bank of Corn
ing. q run which had started Saturday
because of what-no one knows or
can find out. The 100000 in cash
| was secured from the banks of Omaha
| and Council Bluffs and the sight of so
much money, coupled with the appar-
ent readiness with which the officers
OF the institution were able to fortify
! themselves for a run, turned a feeling
of nervousness and fear for their money
| into one Of confidence and the de-
posts of the bank today are said to be
greater than when the run began Sat
urday in the blizzard.
Blizzard Adds to Troubles.
| The blizzard had it's terrors not
known to ordinary mortals for it
threatened to increase the troubles of
i,the bank officials as train schedules
were slowly smashed and telephone
and telegraph lines were being put out
of commission, but Sunday came a day
/ of respite and gave the officers Of the
bank time to reach Omaha and make
their plans for the special train to
carry their extra cash for the depos-
itors.
The bank is one Of the strongest in
southwestern Iowa, say business men.
1t has deposits of approximately $780,
600 and when the run on it started the
bank had over 100000 in cash with
unlimited resources
Failed Bank Pays Dividend.
At the time the run started there
was being paid to depositors Of the
failed First National Bank of Corning,
which has been closed about eight
months. the first dividend of 30 per
cent and the coincidence is SO marked
as to cause comment. Corning people
have had other embarrassing expert
ences in banking and for this reason
(, it is believed they are more than usu-
ally nervous and conditions make the
| life Of the present bankers more than
a simple burden at times like Satur-
! day and early this week.

Mason City, Feb. 3.-Rollo Van Horn,
arrested at his home near Clear Lake
early Saturday morning and brought
before daylight to the county Jail, was
released from custody late yesterday
afternoon. Van Horn was charged with
the murder Of his brother, Chester Van
Horn, for which Mrs. Chester Van
Horn is now in the county jail await
ing the action of the grand jury.
Officers said the severe SHOW storm
of Sunday night made it impossible to
bring witnesses here for i preliminary
hearing for the man either yesterday
or today and it was impossible to hold
him longer. His attorneys, who de-
manded his release or hearing,
claimed the state would not give> him
hearing because they had no evil
dence. The grand jury is now in ses-
sion and it is probable if the state
has evidence against the man it will
be presented to it directly.
