COUNTY COUNCIL
VOTES $4,000
FOR new BRIDGE
North Twelfth Street Struc-
ture Will Be Replaced by
Modern Concrete Two
Arch Bridge.

The construction of a new bridge
across the Whitewater river connect.
ing North Twelfth street and the Mid.
dleboro pike, is now only a question
Of letting the contract and proceeding
with the work.
After viewing the site OF the old
Twelfth street bridge, probably the
oldest bridge OF it's size in Wayne
township and in worse condition than
any other big bridge, the county coun-
Gil voted an appropriation of $4,000
for the construction of modern con-
crete two-arch bridge.
The appropriation was cut $4,000
and the engineer will be required to
alter the plans slightly. The original
plans called for bridge with a forty.
two foot roadway and seven foot side
walks. ornamental light poles and
graceful design.
How Money 10 Raised.
The bridge will be paid for with a
single tax levy of four cents which
will be paid in the 1916 collection. AS
usual in building new bridges recently,
the money for immediate purposes
was borrowed from the south side
bridge fund without interest. . 1t will
be repaid in full at the same time all
other loans from the fund are due,
December, 1916.
Members of a citizens committee
appointed to assist in the selection of
a site for the south side bridge were
present but had no report to make.
The matter was turned over to the
engineering corps appointed to make
surveys and draw plans.
MueiIer's Report.
Engineer Mueller made an abstract
OF the report he expects to make to
the county commissioners and county
council in three weeks. This includes

Peace, the speaker predicted would
be the ultimate victory wrought
through this war. He said he could
not see how any one nation could win
or secure victory in military affairs
since it was from the beginning a
drawn game.
War a False Notion. e.
In large degree the present war is
an outcome of the false idea of q ma
ton that a country is something that
stands in opposition, that the 4prcs-
perity Of one nation must rest on the
downfall of another. Militarism, too
he said. was responsible in part for
this war.
Preceding and following the speak.
er's address, songs were rendered by
Mrs. F. w. Kruger and Mrs. Charles
Igelman. These numbers were espe-
cially appreciated. Rev. Lightbourn
delivered the invocation and the Rev.
Mr.. Huber pronounced the benedic-
tion
The Coliseum was decorated with
flags and bunting of patriotic colors
and flowers, ferns and plants.
Seats on the platform were occupied
by members of the Ministerial associa-
ton, educators and prominent citizens
of the city. Prof. Allen D. Hole pre-
sided as chairman of the meeting.
William Dudley Foulke paid tribute
to the works of DR.. Jordan in introduc-
ing the speaker. He also expressed a
hope that a world peace court would
be the result of the present conflict in
Europe, when all nations are united
in a permanent league.
Grow Very Attentive.
DR.. Jordan's address was delivered
in little more than an hour. He was
frequently applauded. and throughout
his speech his remarks were accorded
interest and attention.
During the lecture Dr. Jordan spoke
of his recent visit to England. where
he watched the work of Herbert Clark

I'm a large degree. the present war

OBLIGATION OF
THE CITY WILL
Be ASERTAINED
L., III. & p. Will Claim Un-
fairness of Valuation
Made Without City Being
Bound to Purchase.

1t is believed by those who are fam
tliar with the plans of action Of the
Light, Heat & Power company before
the state public service commission
tomorrow that the company will make
demands on the commission at the
opening of the hearing for a ruling
on the question Of the city's obliga-
tion to purchase the L. H. & P. COM
pany's electric light plant after the
valuation is fixed.
This would be a logical move on
the part of the company and will place
the city in the position of being COM
PEELED to commit itself on the question.
The company will probably attempt
to show the commission that it would
be unfair to proceed with the fixing of
the valuation unless both parties will
be bound by such action.
Must Abide or Dismiss.
II the members of the commission
rule with the Light, Heat & Power
company the city will be compelled to
abide by the decision or dismiss the
proceedings. AS the city officials are
unit for the purchase OF the plant
they will undoubtedly go on record in
favor of the purchase of the property,
which will bind the city for all future
action. If this action is taken there
will be no possibility of the city reced-
Ing from itS position after the valua-
tion Is fixed.
= sIIt was also.reported today that
Henry c. Starr and John F. Robbins
of Indianapolis had been added to the
already large legal staff Of the Light,
Heat & Power company Both Of these
attorneys took. very active parts in
the Richmond City Water Works case
before the commission at the time the
valuation was fixed on that property
Whether City Attorney Bond will
have additional counsel to assist him
in representing the city's interests in
the case appears to be an open ques-
tion
Conflicting Statements.
1T is my understanding that Mr..
Bond has retained an Indianapolis at
torney to assist him in this case, but
cannot speak authoritatively for Mr..
Bond has not taken me into his cpnfi-
dence in this matter" President Bavis
of the Board of Public works said to-
day. THE special committee which
was appointed to supervise the con-
duct of the case on the part of the
city left it to Mr.. Bonds discretion as
to whether additional counsel should
be engaged to assist him"
Not so very long ago Mr.. Bavis in
formed Secretary Haas Of the Com
mercial club that Mr.. Bond had retain
ed an Indianapolis attorney to assist
in protecting the city's interestes in
the valuation hearing before the CON-
mission.
Today Mr.. Bond guardedly remark
ed that "it was not his understanding
that any attorney was to be employed
to assist him in the conduct of the
case.
Secretary Haas will represent the
Commercial club in the hearing before
the commission tomorrow. Mr. Bavis
and Supt. Kleinknecht will be on the
"side lines" as representatives of the
city government

REMAINS SAME
SAY OFFICIALS
County Auditor Bowman Be-
lieves Old Rate Will Stand
and County Council Will
Keep Budget Down.

That tax rates will not need to be
increased for next year, was the state
ment of Auditor Bowman to the men,
bers Of the county council today when
council members spoke Of the advisa-
bility of cutting necessary expenses.
On the board of review, Treasurer
Chamness made a statement that the
increased assessment this year will
permit slight cut In tax rates.
1t is evident that the council mem
bers will not make unnecessary appro-
priations. From the sentiment ex-
pressed at a special meeting today,
the making OF q 1916 budget will be
approached with extreme care to keep
current expenses at minimum and
to provide for improvements only
where necessary.
The council members appropriated
for special purposes $4,000, cutting
the appropriation list $3,40O, but leav-
ing fourteen out of sixteen items stand
as read by the county auditor. All the
appropriations were necessary as the
expenditures in most cases have al
ready been provided for.
The list includes treasurer's fees for
collection Of delinquent taxes, $3.50;
sheriff's fees, $3.50; county assessors
deputy, $33; board of health for ex-
pense in handling foot and mouth dis

Johns Hopkins university, like SO
many of the other larger American ed
ucational institutions, is to put forth
effort to provide more moral and re-
ligious atmosphere for its students,
and to carry out this policy the uni
versity has offered a lectureship to
Prof. Ebert Russell Of this city. He
announced today that he had accepted
the offer. He and the members of his
family will move to Baltimore the
first of September to assume his new
duties
The position offered me by Johns
Hopkins university is tentative, to ex-
tend for the period of one year.
Whether l shall continue to be con-
nected with the university will be de-
termined at the expiration of that
time," Prof. Russell said today. 1T

lectures to the college public on Bibli-
cal topics, and will also be in charge

Pieases Prof. Russell.
Prof. Russell said that he was much
gratified over the opportunity afforded
him to be connected with the Johns
Hopkins university, which is an insti.
tuition OF international reputation. He
expects to qualify for the degree Of
Phi. D., for which he studied at Chi
cago university, and he will also have
the opportunity and the time to pursue
his religious research studies. He will
continue to be actively identified with
the Friends church, Of which he is one

flied that Johns Hopkins university
should have selected me to carry out
this work in that institution, a work
nearest to my heart and which l con-
tended for while connected with Earl
ham college," Prof. Russell said.
Eariham Loses.
Friends of Prof Russell, who have
contended that he was virtually driven
to tender his resignation as the head
of the Biblical department of Earlham
college, because of the hostile attitude
assumed toward him by President r..
L. Kelly, state that Earlham's loss,
caused by his retirement from it's fac
ulty, is forcibly emphasized by the
action of Johns Hopkins university in
selecting him from a large field of
brilliant and capable candidates to
carry on the important work it is to
undertake.
Since his resignation a few weeks
ago, every effort has been put forth
by his many loyal and active support
ers for his reinstatement on the facul-
ty of Earlham college, and they have
precipitated a controversy which may
result in the retirement of DR.. Kelly
from the presidency of the institution.

MAY REFUSE TO
TELL ABOUT VALUE

Des MONIES, April 17.-George B.
Hippee, president of the Iowa Loan
& Trust Co., arrested last week for re-
fusing to answer question relative to
his income, asked him by a census
enumerator won his fight in q decision
handed down by Justice of the Peace
John Conroy, before whom Hippee was
tried.
Justice Conroy stated that 1t is his
belief that anyone may refuse to an
swer questions relative to his income
and as to the value OF his property.
Intense interest has been displayed
in the case, as Mr.. Hippee was the
first Des Moines citizen to take up q
fight against answering questions ask
ed by an enumSrator.
City Census Taker Ben Ness when
informed of the decision. handed out
by Justice Conroy stated that although
the state has no recourse he thought
that the law has not been interpreted
rightly and that it will have bad ef-
feet upon census takers securing
names.
Assisted by commercial organiza-
lions the census takers Office has been
making every effort to place Des
Moines in the 100000 class.
According to Ness several men who
have refused to give out their names
until the decision upon the Hppee
case was rendered will now refuse to
answer questions.
