Burlington Hawk-Eye: Now that
Quincy has awakened and states that
she has $4,000 on hand for the pur-
pose Of beginning the improvement
of her harbor; now that Muscatine
has started and that st. Louis has
made the first appropriation OF more
than a quarter of a million, to get her
modern harbor improvements, it
seems as If Burlington should delay
no longer. In fact. she ought to have
gotten busy early and ought to have

Juno primaries for the gubernatorial
nomination. %.
The Capital declares without quail
fication that Mr.. Harding is wet
and that II, he should be nominated
and elected, Iowa. Will either stand still
or go backward.
Cesson forces declare the Capitals
stand will add strength to Cosson's
side Cosson men believe the fight is
narrowing down to contest with
Harding alone and that the campaign
will be fought out on the wet" and
dry issue ~-
The Capitals editorial follows:
Lieutenant Governor Harding who
is a candidate for the republican NOM
iriation for governor, is socially popu-
lar and is making a careful campaign
of the state. The supposition is that
he is making votes. There are num-
Der of reasons, however why Lieu
tenant Governor Harding should not
be nominated for governor. One rea-
son is that he is a wet and is sup
ported by the vets The vets think II
they could elect Harding it would be
the beginning of the end of prohibit
ton. They realize that Harding. as
governor could do great deal toward
helping the vets without violating any
law. Every voter in this city who
fought the wet fight in the city cleo
ton is for Harding. Every wet voter
at Davenport is for Harding. Every
wet voter at Council Bluffs is for
Harding. The vets know whom they
are for and they are not going to dl-
vide their vote Lieutenant Governor
Harding is not in harmony with the
spirit of progress which prevails in
Iowa. All the speeches he makes sound
reactionary on adj our state questions.
He IS not sound nor progressive on the
road question. He Will have the vote
of all non progressive citizens. II he

SEEK TO GET RETURN
OF $4,000 PAiD TO CITY
Claim Made That Plumbers Should
Not Be Taxed For Privilege of Do
ing Business-vaiidity Of Ordinance
Questioned-M any Firms Join in
Suit to Compel Refund.

Sioux City, April 26.-Constitutional
ity of Sioux City's plumbing ordinance
will be determined in a test case which
was begun today in the district court
before Judge John w. Anderson. Z.
n. Agnes, a plumber, brought the &C
ton on behalf Of twenty-four plumbers
who have siXty-nine claims against
the city for the refund of license
money to the amount Of $4,000
In his opening statement to the
court, Attorney Chris Jepson counsel
for Agnes. declared THAI the evidence
will show that the ordinance requiring
plumbers to pay $50 license fee, is
unconstitutional and invalid.
1t was pointed out that the twenty
four plumbers have assigned their
for the period between 1911 and 1915.
during which time each plumber had
TO pay a fee each year in order that
he could ply his trade.
This money was exacted by the
city and paid by the plumbers under
an ordinance which is invalid" Attor-
ney JepSon said. The money was
paid involuntarily and the plaintiff
and his assignors are entitled to re-
cover the paid in money
No Trial by Jury.
A jury trial was waived by agree
ment between counsel. Attorney Jep-
son viii be assisted in the case by
members Of the law firm of Sargent.
Strong & Strube. Sam Page. former
city attorney, will handle the case for
the city with the assistance of former
Judge ]. F. Oliver and his son. Ralph
Oliver.
In police court, George NJ. Kellogg.
former judge Of that court. held the
plumbing ordinance constitutional. but
expressed an opinion afterward that he
had his doubts whether the measure
was constitutional. He was required
to pass on the ordinance when l.. r.
Piper was arrested for refusing to pay
his license fee
Piper appealed from Kelloggs ruling
and Judge George Jepson reversed the
lower court on certain sections Of the
ordinance Judge Jepson held that the
section requiring the $50 fee was in
valid for the reason that $50 is an ex-
orbitant fee.
After Piper's case the twentyfour
plumbers decided to fight for the re-
turn Of their license fee money. Agnes
launched an action in the district
court in hopes Of obtaining the fees
paid during 1871, 1912, 1913 and 1914.

CUMM SHOWS STRONG
Will Go Into Nationa! Convention
With $50 Pledged Votes - Ford
Strength Injuries Roosevelt-Huehe
Feared by Cummins' Managers.

Washington, April 26-That Sena-
tor Cummins will go into the Chicago
convention with something Ike $50 del
egates and will have more than any OF
the other o-called favorite sons Is the
view expressed by the men most &C
tive in the mana gement of his cam
paign here.
They were much pleased yesterday
to get final and definite news that Sen
ator Cummins had carried Nebraska
by substantial plurality. Advces from
Oregon. where primaries Will De held
next month. are encouraging.
Instead of the large Ford vote in
Nebraska hurting Cummins, 1t Is the
opinion Of Senator Cummins' managers
that it has hurt the chances OF Roose-
welt and has not Injured Cummlns.
They look on Hughes as certain 10
have much strength and probably be a
stronger factor than Roosevelt
That the nomination is likely to rest
between C,ummins and Hughes was the
view expressed here yesterday by some
of the prominent Cummins leaders.
Senator Kenyon expects to see Sena-
tor Cummins enter the convention with
more delegates than any other favorlte
son. He said yesterday the chances
for Senator Cummins' nomination had
increase perceptibly of late. g..
1t is pointed out here that II Jus
tice Hughes should eliminate himself
the nomination Of Senator Cummins
would become a strong probability
since the Ford vote will adversely ar
feet Roosevelt.
Opinion is widely divided whether
Hughes will eliminate himself A story
was published yesterday that Senator
Wadsworth, Of New York, and dele
cation waited on Hughes to sound him
out and he resented their inquiries
and dismissed them, saying it was an
insult.
Senator Wadsworth said the story
was "lie" and that he would not try
to "pry into Justice Hughes mind"

PEACE MEETING MILD
No Sensational Incident at Pro German
Demonstration at Dubuque - ResoIu-
tons Demand That United States
Give All Warning Nations Fair Deal

Dubuque. April 26.-The peace dem
onstration scheduled for Tuesday nigh;
! was pulled off exactly as scheduled
and was apparently the perfect success
that had been planned by those who
had the whole matter in charge. It was
estimated by persons at Fifth and
Main streets that there were between
5000 and 1000 men and women who
marched in the parade while there
were several hundred persons who
rode in the large number Of automo-
biles that followed the Inarchers.
Each marcher carried small Amer
lean flag while at convenient intervals
bearers carried larger flags. Banners,
proclatming for peace and a square
deal to all nations" were also carried.
The two bands leading the marchers
played patriotic American airs from
the time they started on the parade al
Washington park until the parade
ended at the Grand opera house. after
having paraded all Of the principal
down town streets.
Every available inch Of the opela
house was quickly filled by men and
women intent on hearing Patrick

ject Peace" and the stand the people
Of this country should take at this
time.
After a patriotic air by one of the
bands, Nicholas Conner chairman Of
the committee on arrangements, intro
duced the speaker and in doing so
thanked the people present for the in
.ba,- = tot tn ,a1
matter. commended them for their evil
dent wish for peace and continued
peace with the whole world.
The Chicago man maintained that
international law is what the strongest
sea power cares to make it. He ex-
planned that the submarine is such a
new implement Of war that it has
never been written into international
law and that it is folly for President
| Wilson to try to do it at this time.
The speaker was frequently ap-
plauded during the course Of his re-
marks.
Adopt Resolution.
Charles Sass, secretary of the ar
engagements committee. read q telegram
in the form Of resolution which the
committee desired to have adopted and
to be forwarded TO President Wilson
and the members of the Iowa delega
ton in congress. The resolution tele-
gram was adopted by rising vote,
| after which the large audience sang
America and was dispersed. The res
! olutions adopted were summed up in
! the concluding paragraph, as follows:
I'VE are convinced that America at
| this time can render no greater service
| to the world and to humanity. and no
| better maintain its national honor and
! promote it's material welfare than to
keep out Of the European struggle,
/ to stop in our own midst all agitation

nothing undone by way Of friendly ne
! gotiations to bring about peace be-

French DEPUTIES
ENCOURAGED At
VERDUN RESULT

Paris, March 7.-"My impression Of
the situation is that of my colleagues
and can be expressed in two words
growing confidence said the chairman
Of one of the chief committees of the
Chamber Of Deputies last night. There
is much speculation. according to the
same authority as to the exact mean
ing of the new tuin which the battle
of Verdun is taking. whether it is
diversion or the prelude of the trans
fer of the main German effort across
the Mouse. The latter is the prevailing
view, and the suspension of the attacks
on the Douaumont plateau is regarded
in itself as encouraging. for it is felt
that it amounts to an admission of a
check 1t also gives opportunity to
strengthen still further the defenses.
The hills known as LIE Mort Hommc
and L'Oie are considered by the mill
tary critics as stronger both through
geographical position and artificial or
ganization that Douaumont and on
slaughts on them with dense masses Of
troops. which are expected today or to-
morrow, will only lead, it is confidently
believed, to fresh cruel losses. The
put forth. the more rapidly it is ar
gued will their strength be exhausted
and the end come.
