Pickett. Mr.. Watts denied the
charge of being a dangerous
man. in the Legislature and
that he believed himself prepar-
ed to represent every walk of
life. He is a staunch believ-
er in a State Reformatory and if
elected will do his best to estab-
lish such an institution.
Mr.. Ware followed Mr.. Watts
in a short but brief talk. On
account Of having been sick for
several days previous Mr.. Ware
did not attempt 10 make a for
NAL speech. He has no def
nitely platform but if elected
makes the one promise, that he
will serve the people of his coun-
ty to the best Of his ability.
Last but not least comes our
present Representative, Mr..
Stubblefield, who recalled the
promise that he made under the
same ancient oak four years ago
and that he now comes with a
clear conscience, believing that
he has faithfully served the peo-
pie who elected him. Mr.. Stub
blefeld recalled a number of
laws which he helped to pass
and rehearsed the manner in
which he went about in the de-
feat of the new county bill.

THIRD WARD PROPERTY ACTIVE
Lively Trading in Outlying Real Estate
Is Market Feature,


A brisk market that included deal
ings in all classes Of city real estate,
rather more than the usual number of
small town properties and some farm
lands. made the market for the week
ending Monday the liveliest Of recent
months. Altho the amount involved in
the trading was Of good size, it was
not exceptional, but the number of the
transactions and the inclusion Of all
classes of property made the market
for the week Of unusual interest
The trading in Third ward property,
and especially modern and low-priced
homes and some building lots, the
most Of which are outlying. was the
distinct feature Of the city end Of the
realty market. Almost half Of the
transactions Of the week were deal
ings in property Of this ward. The
Second ward. which is always repre-
sented in each weeks market, figured
rather less than usual last week.
The largest transaction in city prop
erty in the week was the sale by DR..
Arminda c. Fry, formerly Of this city.
but now Of Chicago to Homer G.

LOCAL ELECTRICAL PLANT SOON
TO SUPPLY POWER TO BELLE
PLANE.
PUBLIC UTILITIES PLAN
EXTENSIVE EXTENSIONS
Electrical Line That Now Carries
Power to Tama and Toledo to Be
Extended at Once to Belle PLANE and
eiairstown-AIso Building to Berlin
and Reinheek.

BY some time this winter thirteen
towns east and northeast of this city
will be lighted and will receive electri-
cal power from this city. Power from
the local plant of the Iowa Railway
and Light Company will light the
streets and homes, heat electric irons
for the women and their bread toast
ers, run street cars and furnish com
mercial power in LeGrand, Gilman,
Montour, Tema, Toledo, Chelsea. Long
point, Belle Plaine, Blairstown, Glad
brook, Berlin. Reinbeck and Morri-
son. That is a summary of what the
result will be of extensive extensions
Of it's distributing lines now under
way and soor to be begun as an
nounced by the Iowa Railway and
Light Company.
The most important project is the
extension of the high tension line from
this city to Tama and Toledo to as far
east as Blairstown this winter.
Distributing Material.
Material has been distributed be-
tween Tama and Blairstown 1or this
extension, which will be begun very
soon. Recently six carloads of steel
towers have been unloaded at Tama,
Belle PLANE and Blairstown. For this
extension, and for all future extensions
Of their main line, the company mas
adopted steel towers instead of wooden
poles. These towers are forty five feet
high, weight 1000 pounds each, and
will be set Az feet apart. This line
will be insulated for 10000 volts.
The company has franchises in all
these places. and at Belle PLANE and
Blairstown ii owns isolated electrical
plants. They will probably be kept in
operating condition for emergencies
when the line is connected so power
can be distributed from this city. Next
summer the company plans to extend
the line to Cedar Rapids, and thus
connect the local and Cedar Rapids
plants.
Extending GIadbrook Line.
Since April the company has been
supplying electricity to GladbrooS
over distributing line that taps the
trunk line to Tama near Indian Town,
close to Montour. This line is being
extended from Gladbrook to Berlin,
Morrison and Reinbeck and the extern
sions will oe completed soon ready for
power.
The line TO Gilman that was built
this summer, and the poles and other
apparatus for distributing the power
in Gilman are all completed. Delay in
getting the wire for the high tension
line has temporarily held up this pro-
ject. The wire should be delivered at
any time now and the company expects.
to be serving Gilman by Nov. I.

DONNELLY HELD FOR
 DEATH OF GROVE
Coroner Mix Finds Yale Man
 Criminally Responsible

New Haven, Sept. 28.-Thorne Donnelly, of Chicago, who came to New Haven to enter the freshman class at the Sheffield Scientific school, Yale, is held criminally responsible for the death of John F. Grove, an automobile chauffeur of this city, by Coroner Eli Mix, in finding made public today
 Grove suffered injuries which caused his death when high powered car owned and driven by Donnelly, and in which Grove was a passenger, was wrecked on the state highway in Orange early on the morn ing of September IT. The car, ac- cording to the coroner, was being run at high speed. Four others be- sides Donnelly and Grove were in the car but the latter was the only one fatally hurt. ..E.
 Discussion on Speed.
 The coroner in his finding says that the machine was capable of a speed of about eighty-five miles an hour. On the night of September 16, at local garage, there was some discussion as to the speed of the car. in which Grove and Donnelly took part. To settle the dispute Grove was invited to be one of a party to a demon stration by Donnelly of the cars speed.
 The test was made on a stretch of concrete road in the town of Orange shortly after i o'clock on the morn- ing of September IT. As. Donnelly was driving at a high speed over the state road, a one horse wagon ap- preached.
 Crashed Into Fence.
 Without abating his speed Donnelly, according to the coroner's finding, att tempted to pass the approaching vehicle, on the left. In doing so the automobile collided with heavy fence or guard railing at the side of the road, partly breaking it down and then shot across the highway and crashed into fence on the other side, breaking it down, wrecking the car and throwing the occupants out, with the exception of the driver. Grove and the other injured were brought to this city by a passing automobile.
 The coroner says he finds that the highway at the point of the accident was dry, the night clear and that the automobile carried two powerful elec- tric searchlights, that Donnelly was with the highway that he had made two trips over it on the evening of the 18th, that he was aware it was used by drivers of motor and other vehicles constantly and that ordinary care and prudence re- quired him to have his motor vehicle

FRENCH CREEPING
 CLOSER TO METZ
German Grown Princes Army Said to Have Lost 100000 Men

Paris Sept. 2S, 11:2O a. m.-Intel- | ligence from the Champagne front be- vond Chalons which reached Paris 1 today shows that it was the right of the German Grown Princes army which was shattered in the attacks of Friday and Saturday. The Grown Princes center made furious efforts to counter in the Argonne yesterday, with the result that all railway lines to the east and north, according to French information, were engaged last night in carrying away German wounded.
 French officers reckon that the Grown Princes army lost 100000 men in this attack and the previous assaults during the summer.
 Break German Charge.
 In yesterdays attack the Germans sent two divisions against the French lines after a preparatory lombard ment The artillery fire did not de- >moralize the French line, which held everywhere when the German infantry charged. The two German divisions broke, leaving the ground dotted with their dead. aaa..
 Three times the Germans renewed their assault, making the attacks with extreme courage. Each time they re- tired, leaving more dead. Many of the wounded are still lying between the lines.
 Creeping Toward Metz.
 Although the attacks of the Crown Prince have been violent and we'll or ganized, French officers say the drive against Verdun is being transformed, gradually into a defense of Metz, for the French are creeping slowly and steadily closer to the Lorraine strong hold.

APPEAL IS FILED
 BY WERNER HORN
German Reservist Who Tried to Blow Up International Bridge Takes
 Case to Higher Court.

Boston, Sept. 2S.-Werner Horn, the German army reservist who tried to blow up the international bridge between Canada and the United States at Vanceboro, Maine, last February, yesterday filed an ap- peal from the decision of the federal court in denying his release on a writ of habeas corpus.
 Through his counsel, former Con- gressman Joseph F. O'Connell, the prisoner questions the regularity of the extradition proceedings by which he was removed from Maine to this state and also the refusal of the court to permit him to invoke the law of nations, or present a commission as an officer in the German army in defense of his actions. Horn makes general allegation of error by all the judges and magistrates who have acted in the proceedings since his arrest
 The appeal will be heard by the federal circuit court of appeals which begins sitting here next Monday. In the meantime, Horn will remain in the East Cam bridge jail where he is awaiting trial on the indictment charging him with illegal transporta- tion of dynamite from New York to Vanceboro.

Sixteen organizations are numbered among the United German societies. It was reported that $125 was netted on the outing of the Austrian Military society for the benefit of the German War Relief fund.-
