S e R e R — P THE STATE HOUSE SQUABBLE Bome of the Views Expressed in Rogard to the Matter. STATEMENT OF THE GOVERNOR Proceedings in the State preme Court—Death of Jon McConniff ~New Coiporations—-Lin= coln News Notes, LaxcoLy Brneav of tir Ovana Bas, } 1020 P Streer, LiscoLy, Jan, 23, 16 pending squabble at the state house for the rooms at present oceupied by Gover: nor Thayer provokes a good deal of comment in Lincoln at this time, Until yesterday, no one knew that the judges of the supreme court wanted the roomsin question, but Deputy Clerk Wheeler had long since ex pressed his preference for thom and through hiw it became common talk that they w originaily Intended for the suprome court, and by some it was understood that the board of public lands and buildings would assign them 1o that body. 1t seems, however, thit the governor took possession of them a few days ago, or about the time that the petition of the supreme court was presented to the board, This was the signal for tho commencement of whatever muddle may exist, and Tk Bee representative las sought to'obtain the hottom facts regarding the matter, The plans of the capitol, on file in the office of the commissioncr of public lands and buildings, show that the north rooms on the second floor of the main build ing were designcd for the executive depa ment, and the rooms directly above them fo the supreme court. These 1oc on the floor of the gallery of the state library which is intended for the volumes of Blackstono and his disciples, and to which two cosey reading rooms satisficd with the knowledge obtained direct from tho plans, an imterview was sought with several gentlemen who ought to know, as to the original intentien for the disposition of the TOOIIS In controversy. SIf my memory serves me,” said ex-Treas. ¢ Bartlett, “therooms now occupied b, svernor Thayer wero originally mtenc for the chief cxecutiveof the s 1 hay some means of kuow s o membe of the board of public lauds and buildings when the plans and specifications of the cap itol building were adopted. The rooms on the third floor, directly above the executive department, were intended for the supreme court, i apprehend, however, that the voard would have o right to change them if in its judgment it sccms best, 1 know nothing about the muddle between the governor and the members of the supreme court regarding the rooms the alleged trouble is ove A state ofticial said: “It has always boen my understanding that the rorth rooms of the main building, on the see ond floor were intended for the governor. It is my opinion that the kick over the rooms originates with Deputy Clerk Wheeler and not with the supreme judges, and that when they properly understand the matter oil could not” float wore smoothly upon the troubled waters, and the unpleasant subject will sud denly drop.’” An ex-state official also said: *“There is no doubt_but what Governor Thayer now oceu- pies the rooms orviginally intended for him It would be a bad move to put him on the first floor. e is locatea midway between the two houses of the legislature, and can be reached in i moment for conference when- ever necossa 'he supreme court will have easier uccess to the law library on the third than on the sccond floor, and I am of the opinion that this is a great blow about nothing. It would be a mistake to put the general library on the third floor.” ‘T'o the query of Tur Ber representative, “What have you to say regarding the con- troversy " ‘The governor replied: I have no controversy whatever. Neither of the Judges have ever spoken to me on the sub- ject. Nearly two ) 20 Mr. Wilcox, the architect of the capital building, informed me that these rooms on the second floor, that is the first floor above the ground floor, 'were designated for the governor, And 1 am in- formed by a member of the board of public lands and buildings that on the original plat, these rooms are warked for the governor’s oftices, The rooms dircctly above these rooms have been fitted up and partitioned off for the supreme court rooms. The law library would naturally be piaced in the alcoves of the new library room and they are on the same floor of the room which has been fitted up as a supreme court room, and could not bo more convenient than they are. The lower floor of the library 1s on the same level as the new rooms which the gov- ernor mow occupies, and are on the same floor with the hall of the senate and house of representatives. The law library should be placed in the alcoves which are on the same level with the room designated for the supreme court room, and could not be more easily accessible by any other arrangement. Turthermore, the olevators so that tho supreme court room can be reached without any trouble or effort, The supreme court room ought always, and always is, the most retired part of a public building.” SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Commission Men Interviewed in Re- gard to Their Management. FEW OF THEM FIND ANY FAULT. The Railroads to Blame For Existing Deficiencies — The Yards as Clean as Those of Other Places, Oplnions as to the condition of affairs at the South Omaha stock yards are being freely expressed, and appear to bo groatly diversified. There soems to be two sides to the question. The publication of complaints of some of the commission men doing busi ness at South Omaha has opened the way to afi ud full discussion of tho subject Monday afternoon a moeting was held in South Omaha aud the alleged irrogularitics considered at some length. Resolutions were passed and steps have beon taken to the eud of bringing about a sp, dy for any abuses that may oxist. Tur Bee to-day presents a number of in- terviews from prominent commission men doing business at the exchange, as follows: John D. Davidson—1 think the policy of the Stock Yards company has been as liberal towards the commission men asit has been towards the packing houses, and further it has treated us as fairly as any company I ve ever done business with, and I have hanaled stock in yards at New York, Pitts- burg, Buffalo and Chicago. The yards here furnish as good feed as any stock yard in the United States, and at a lower price than at any other place except Kansas City, where the prices are the same, The company gives full weight in hay and corn bought of them. I think this yard is kept cleanes than auy ard at which I ever did business. The ac- commodations are ample for the stock re- ceived here, In referenca to the statement that stock is held on the sidetracks and scales hof time, I can say that I never kuew stoclc to be held on or scales tor longer than two hours, and that was through the fault of the weigh ing association and not of the stock yard company. As far as advertising s concerned I think that it is doing its share of the advertising. It has men traveling over the country all the time. As for the grade of stock here, it is better than the ave of any yard in the United States. The com pany has been domg all in its power to make this a stock point, J -azier—As to whether the company is morc al to the packing houses than to the commission men, 1 couldn't say, asl don't know how liberal it is o the packing houses, The vards here are new and need mauy things which they have not, but as their men are working all the time 1 think these requisites will soon_be supplied. 1 don't approve of this “kick’ that 1s being made by some of the commission men. 1 think the yar > cleaner than the average, s y fault T have to find is with the quality hay furnished, But some- times the company can’t help this as the hay crop will be poor throughout. Where | have done business the price has always been $1 per 100, and you never get 100 ponnds of to the bald. I couldn’t say how extensively the company advertises. It is to its interest to advertise liberally and I think it does. If the compaay bad not ad- vertised and worked hard, the yards would not have attained the prominence they have in two years, Some effort should be made, I think fo induce the eastern roads to wmuke better time coming west. ames Foley—There is no discrimination made agai the commission men in favor of the packing houses; they have their yards and we have ours. [ have been in the Chi- cugo yards for sixteen years, and I say that the yards here are much cleaner. The com- pany is very accommodating, and whenever we need anything all we have to do is to ask for it. The charges for feed are just the same as in other markets, and while sometimes hay will run less than 100 pounas to the bale, other bales will run considerably over that amount, The yards are sulfciently large for the business, This summer the company increased the capacity of the yard one-fourth. Iam as hard to please as any of L'hmln and I have no cause, whatever to find ault, S. J. Coffman—T don't know anything about the hog yards, but the cattle yards are large enough, and are kept fairly clean. Mr., Coffman was called away and his partner, Mr. Grantham, continuing said: ‘““When this weighing system was first bezun ship- pers were hoard to complain that their st had been held on the side tracks an unrea- sonable time. The charges for feed are the same as anywhere else, but, as to quality we have had shippers complain_ - that tho hay was poor. [ have never scen any very extensive advertisiug done by the stocik yards com- pany. A. Waggoner—I think the statement that the yards' heve are more flithy than other yards s incorrect and as far as their capac- ity is concerned we have no fault to find, as the company has always handled our stock all right. The stock yard people have treated the commission men about as fairly as possible under the circumstances, The chiarges for feed are the same as elsewhere, and in weight and quality the hay furnished is as good as furnished by any yards with which I have ever had anything todo. There has been considerable complaint mado over the fuct that stock is held an unreasonable time on the scales and sidetracks, Idon't know whether the stock company has any- thing to do with this or not, but the ~ trouble is owing to the weighing system we have in vogue here. About the only fault I have to find with the csmpany is the fact that it does not expend enough money in advertising, [ think it should defray a good proportion of the ex- pense of advertising and should use every effort to vring shippers to this market, J. G. Martin —We have alw been treated very well by the company and have no complaint to make of discrimination in favor of the packing houses. I have done business in the Chic ards and I don't think the yards heve are apy dirtior than the ones there. ‘They are sufticiently large to handle the recoipts. One of the worst things we have to contend with is the fact that stock is sometimes permitted to lay on the side- tracks too long, but that is the fault of the ilr and not of swck yards company. The hay furnished is sometinies poor but as & rule I think the company gives us good hay. Dressed beef men kill as good stock here as they don Chicago. W. H, Alexander—I have never seen any discrimination in favor of the packing houses. I was in business in Chicago eleven years, and the yards here are kept as clean @s those in Chicago. It is not always possi- ble to keep yards in a first class condition on account of the weather. The yards are largo enough for the average business, although at times we have been short on room for cattle, but have had more room than we needed for hogs this season. ‘There's no question but that cattle are allowed to lay on the side- tracks too long betore they are unloaded, but that is the fault of the railroads. The price of hogs here is the same as in Chicago, while the price of corn is lower. The hay last year was poor here, as it was throughout the country, but this year the cowpany has had good hay. D. Hoppe—When I have got no remedy [ haveno fault to find. I don't refer to the press but to the stock yard company. I don't care to say anything more, J. B. Smiley—I think the yards hero are cloaner than the Chicago yards, and their ca- pacity is sufticiently large for the ordinary receipts, Itis true that stock is held too long on the side tracks, but I don’t think the stock yards company is to blame for that, but that the railroad companies are responsible. 1 have never heard any complaints mad2 about the feed furnished, except the quality of the hay. That bas often been very poor. 1have nothing to say regarding the other charges, as 1 know nothing about thew. J. B. Blanchard—My observation is that the policy of the stock yards company to- wards the commission men bas beeu the same as it is towards the packing houses. [ have been in the Chicago yards, and I think the yards here are kept cleaner than those at cme Chicago. They are sutticiently large to ac comuodate the av ceipts, although there are times whon they are overcrowded, The charges for feed are the same as at Kapsas City and less than at Chicago aud the weights are the same. It is JANUARY 24. 1880 not true that our! buyers ‘purchase inforior grades of cattle. | The cattle killed here are Just as good as thoge killed in Chicago, 1 don't know whether the company keeps its advertising men out, but [ do know that it advertises consideeable east and west. I don’t know what flte company has done to- wards securing bester rates on railroads, but I do know that mothing has been accom plished lately. Ttis true tnat the stock is held on the sidetraoks and _scales an unreas onable length of time, but this is the fault of the weighing association, Special Live Stock Exohange Meeting. President A, C.

To secure the concensus of opinion among the legal fraternity upon the relocation of the city hall, a Bee representative was de- tailed to canvass the office buildings of Omaba and interview each attorney. All of the oftice buildings were visited in the busi- ness center, and overy attorney found in his office was ‘asked to ‘state his preferences, The gist of the replies is given below. The vast majority favor the present site. The ratio is one in favor df removal to five in favor of the present location: The city attorney: 1 am convinced it would be a geat mistake to relocate the city hall on Jefferson square, My experience has been such that I know that the city officers have a great deal to do constantly with the court house. There 1s scarcely a day that 1 am not compelled to go down to the city clerkd’s ofiice or to the city enginecr’s offices, which are now tocated in the court house basement, for records and papers necessary for the trial of a case at the bar, and if the city hall were located at Jeflerson square I would have to send or go that distance every time a record was_required, which would in- volve a great_deal of inconvenicuce to all concerned. Out of the sixty-five cases that 1 have tried this year, in cvery other case it has been necessary to call the city on- gineer, or the chairman of the board of pub- lic works, or the city clerk, and also quite a num ber of the records of these ofticers into court. It is just seven blocks from the court house to Jefferson square, or about half a mile, and to make us go 'that distance with the books of the city, and to walk half a mile to get the ofticers, would be an_ imposition, “Then, again, the heads of these departments would hive to leave their oflices in' chargy of their deputies, to say nothing of the incalcu- lable loss of time to these ofticials if they are compelled to go that distance, and of the in- convenience to the city attorney, who is sup- posed to be ready always, or, at least, near at hand, when city cases are called for' tri “Pnen, the looking up of the dockets and the records in the treasurer's offica, which have also to be compared with the county records, and the tking of the tax lists from one building to the other would be intoler ble. “The truth is,” added Mr. Webster, *thio court houseand city hall should be un® derone roof, and I would have it so could T have my way.’ Paul Chariton—T prefer Farnam street. Anybody who has business to transact in public buildings would naturally prefer it. opi I am in favor of any sito near the court house. Jefferson square is too -far away from business. M V. iannon—Farnam street by all means, Ttis in the present and prospective business center and convenient to the court house. Besides these consideratione I think it would be a gross. violation of faith if the citizens of Omaha should change the loca- tion now after capital has been nvested in the vicinity of the present site on the suppo- sition that the eity hall would bo located there, It would detract from the excellent reputation Omaha now enjoys in th stern money conters, . A, Brogan—I favor phatically, Whata favorable impression it will create on the stranger visiting Omaha 10 see s0 many impesing structures clustere together. Jefferson square should be kept & breathing place for the people. L. Weaver—I object to going up to Blair when [ want to visit the city building on business. I want the city hall on the present site. W. Whipple—I own property in the northern part of the city, but prefer the present site for the good of ‘the taxpayers. John J. Points—refer the present. site, but think the plans should be chauged und & larger building provided for. Johu . Davis—The Faruam street site is the most convenient for the general com munity and legal fraternity. Judge J. Fawcetl—Farnam street is my preference. I believe the court house and city hall should be as near together us it is possibl: to get them. It would be & waste o money to abandon the preseut site and locate it on Jefferson square. Patrick O. Hawes—I want the city hall on Jefferson square. 1 don't waut to elimb stairs when I can avoid it, Jefforson square offers splendid location. A building can be erected there and securs plenty of light and venulation.
