HASCALL'S STUPID MALICE. The ‘“Judge” Makes Another BExhi- bition of His Quality. WEARYING THE COUNCILMEN. The Motor Granted the Right to Crose the Viaducts—Other Busis ness of Much Importance Transacted, The Council Meeting. “Judge'" Hascall didn't go to the council meeting in the patrol wagon last night, and consequently arrived late and in o bad bumor. He wanted the minutes of the last meeting read, and had Clerk Southard send up to the court house after the records to satisfy his whim, ‘Then he wasn't satisfied. He gave it ns his opinion that the council had no authority for its action taken on | Tuesday night in appointing Captain Cor- mack as deputy sergeant-at-arms, and told how he had defied the authority of the offi- % of the police force and réfused to go to council chamt the regular officer of the coun me after him. The ‘judge” pulled the and Couneilmen Ford and performed in responsc. Ford suid he'd be sick ever since Tucsday night to think that some of the men deputized by the council had not come to arrest him. He pictured how he would have mopped up the earth witk of the “mayor's minions” who would dare at- tempgt such an outrage on him. *“The ontle- man from Lincoln' took the ground that all of the proceedings of the Tuesday night meeting were illegal beeause a minority of the council had appointed deputics to assist the sergeant-at arms in_the performance of his duties. ‘Lhe council bore up well under the tirades and felt duly grateful that one or more tragcdies had been averted by the fail- ure of the deputised minions of the may cross the path of either of the trio of belli- gerents. Judge” Hascail exploded again when the resolution of Mr. Bailey was introdued instructing the committee on public and buildings to look the council and the city nfln lll' accused Mr. Rosewater of being at the bottom of the movement. He saw in it a scheme by which Mr. Rosewater was to find tenants for his bastile on Seventeenth and Farnam, and predicted that if that gentleman ever got the city offices into Tne Ber building the city hall never would be completed. He villiied Mr. Rosewater and the mayor in the choice billingsgate of which he is au accorplished master and intimated that the smell of horses of which the officials complained was not as offensive as the odor that clings to certain city officials, After he had talked himself hoarse the council was allowed to proceed with the tran on of business, The matters disposed of wi us follows : Commuuications and Petitions: ['rom the Mayor—Appointing appraisel for the changing of grade of Tenth street, opening Twenth-second street and opening an_ alley through blocks 1, 6, 7 and 12, Orchard Hiil gddition.

At | present this portion of the earth has only one use for an irrigating ditch, and that would be to carry off the surplus water. Rain, rain, rain, it has done nothing else for fourteen days, and the fellows who have been croaking about the dry weather have suddenly disappeared.

At a special meeting of the council, held Thursday evening, Mayor Rohrer had a lit- tle piece to recite relative to an encroach- ment on his rights &nd privileges by the council, and wound up by telling the alder- men that he did not want them to doso again, and they promised to respect his wishes. The trouble grew out of the vag question. It will be remembered that shortly after Mayor Rohrer took nis seat, he recommended that vagrants and others who could ndt pay their fines should be worked on the streets, The council concurred in his suggestion, and he was authorized to take steps to carry his cartler in Ang Part of heCitya enty Cents Per Week, . MANAGER, IUNl-;s: into effect. He then constituted r N. 1. Lyson boss of the hoe and shovel brigade, and the resuit has for months been apparcnt to all who have had occasion to pass along the public streets. Everything passed along smoothly until a few 1|n\'1 A0, Last Sunday evening the mayor and *Alder- Lucy had occasion to visit Cedar Rupids. ‘I'he ren der of the story can be told in the may own words. Said he: “You I judge of my surprise on my return to find that Robert Pettibone had been put to work as assistant to Officer Tyson, and that at a council meeting held Monday evening the ¢ marshal had been authorized to employ ail help necessary to work the vags. It was the first intimation 1 t the marshal was_working the vags. d fondiy imagined that I was doing it elf, so 1 indited little epistle to the a ce, and that 1 did not care for any, Our idea has been not so much to get a lot of work out of the vags as to keep them out of the city, For this reason Officer Tyson is in- structed to Lot any of his recruits get away who can do so ingeniously, and if they leave the city, well and good. 1f they are caught again, they are put to work under ball and chain, A'local drunk has to work out his fine, but the vag is offered inducements to leave the city. 1 tola the council that if iv was their intention to work convict labor for all it was worth it was something new to me, and I wished to be mformed of the fact, but until then I could handle the vags without further assistance. 1 don’t know who put Pettibone to work, but he was sent out Monday noon, and that night the marshal asked for authority which was granted. However, 1 will relieve him of all responsibility in that line. Alderman Waterman made a kick against the vags being utilized to curry horses and ‘do other work for the patrol driver. That was some- thing new to me, and I will not have it. If Hendricks 18 too lazy to curry his horses, 1 will have to find some one who can. As nearly as I can learn, there are several par- ties who have found it convenient to have the prisoners do a little work for them. 1don’t want to call any names, but I will say that . folks who live in glass houses shouid not be in swinging their clubs. I don’t gine there will be any more to this mat- nd I rather think that the vags will continue to clean the streets under the sole charge of Oficer Tyson, who has thus far proven himself able to take all necessary care of them, Cole& Cole, 41 Main street, best Lawn Mower on earth, for the sl i Dr. C. C. Hazen, dentist, Opera house block. Can’t Collect Saloon Licenses. The status of the prohibition question in Council Bluffs is well known throughout this section, and the wide open saloons excite no surprise to visitors, except to those from a distance, who have heard und read of the efiicient and satisfactory working of the prohibitory 1aw in Iowa, A briet review of the situation may notbe amiss, however, and will enable the reader to better under- staud the effect that will be produced by the ruling of Judge Aylesworth on a motion that was argued before him yesterday afternoon in the superior court. The prohibitory law has never been enforced in the city, and no attempt made by the authorities to enforce it. When Mayor Rohrer was inducted into office, he detérmined that the saloon men ‘should contribute a _certain sum per month to the city exchequer, as he was opposed to the enforcement of the law. He first fixed the municipal license at $25 and $50 per month, the latter for places that kept open after 11 o'clock, _The price finally came down to an cven $25, and_ the mayor taen managed to collect” them by the help of the police. The saloonkecper was charged grancy, and he put up his £5 with_the clerk ot the court *“for appearance.” Of course, ke failed to appear, and his ‘‘fine,” as it was called, was turned over to the city treas- urer, ' Matters progressed swimnmingly, and the mayor imagined that he had success- fully solved the liquor problem. ~The raloons were paying license in a_prohibition state, and the only thing to be desired was to raise the license, and the feasibility of uum%tlmt was being considered. sequent developments have shown that it was only the calm that precedes the storm. A short time since Messrs, Wynster, Lindt & Seabrook, attorneys, filed a motion with the clerk of the superior court, asking that the appearance money putup by several saloon men for the month of February be transferred to April, on the grounds that the records of the court showed no case agaiust them in the former month, and that the money was held illegally. The motion came up for a hearing yesterday afternoon. John Lindt, Esq., appeared for the plain- tiffs, and George A. Holmes, city attorney, for ‘the defendant, Mayor Rohrer and the city. Mr. Tindt added to his motion a request that the money already put up by the plain- tiffs for April be refunded. In his argument he stated that the course followed by the mayor in the matter was illegal aud simply a continued system of blackmailing. The money was turned over to the treasurer without an order from the court, which was an 1llegal manner of disposing of bail money. The money was thus disposed of solely for the purpose of defrauding the city marshal out of his just fees 1n the cases and enable the city to get possession of it all, “Isay that the mayor has brought this matter about simply by his extreme hoggishness, and I don’t believe the council or city solicitor are at all to blame,” continued Mr. Lindt. City Attorncy Holmes talked very briefly. s with va- Said “he, *I want it understood that I am indifferent in the matter. When jt comes to such @& pass that a certain cliquo ars going to run the city, regardless of its best interests, I don’t wunt anything to do with the matter. As for this appear- ance money, it was paid with the understand- ing that the parties were not to appear. It was an understandiug between the saloon- kecpers and the city official They knew that the interests of their business required them to pay it, and they are not entitled to have any part of it refunded or transferred.’ Tn ruling upon the case the court said: “1 supposed that these parties were charged with vagrancy, and I also supposed that the city wanted these vagrants to change their mode of life and go to work, but it seems that there has been a contract between th vagrants and the ulg council, mayor and cor- poration, and that the vugrants have been cornered and begun to kicl It seems to me that an old adage comes in very appropriate here—'When thieves fail out honest men get their dues.’ Tdon't know as it was applicable, but I am reminded of that adage. Now, instead of vags, it seems that several first-class citi- zens are parties to that contract with the city, and are paying so much & mouth for the privilege of being called & vegrant. It is a scheme for defrauding the statutes of the enforcement of its ndates, and this court will not be a party « “The posit of the clerk seems to be & matter of misunderstanding. The council makes him a creatura of its own, and the statute makes him a creature of the court, as the city clerk must be clerk of the court. He 18 a double-barreled shotgun, ‘The council cun charge and shoot one barrel just as much as they please, but the court loads the other barrel and the council must uot play with the trgger. The bail will be fixed at such a price as will enforce the appearance of the defendunt in court, let it cut where it will, and then, if he is & vagrant, he shall work on the sireets, the same as other torney comes into there 8 a ¢ the city vagrants. When an at- court and argues that ract betwoen lawbreakers and it is time something was done, and this court can't afford to wink ut such trans actions. The motion of plaintift*s counsel is overruled, and these cases are called for trial. The bail is fixed at §100, and if the de- fendants fail to appear, & bench warrant will be issuod * “1 will dismiss all these cases,” said City Attorney Holmes, It s useless to try cases where there isn't the slightest legal shiow to establish any grounds whatever for action,’ *‘Then T order this appearance money re. funded,” said the court, and so instructed the clerk, In speaking of the matter afterwards sev- eral different opinions were heard. Some of them are here give Judge Ayiesworth 'hey tiave een try- ing the only way in which they had any show whatever, That is, to bring & _charge against the saloon men, and then hold their appearance money, 1t won't work, for it is simply blackmail, and the court will not sub- mit to it. The mayor can not collect fines from the saloons. He has no more power in that direction than any private individual, He can not close the saloons or let them run without the authority of the court. If he tries to close them the cases must be tried in court, and no blackmail will be permitted. He can start out on the Overton plan, but that is his only way. He can't licepse sa- loons in opposition to the law any longer, and he must let my clerk alone Mayor Rohrer—‘*This is court da; you know there will be ‘s'mother day then we will see, City Attorney Holmes—*"1 knew it wasn't legal, and have always known, and wasn't .{.nnlu to fool away any time when it came to rial.” but and y i School House Finances, The matter of erecting a new school build- ing in the wrestern part of the city this year is not yet definitely settied, but the indica- tions point strongly to its crection, As is well known, the city voted at the last school election, held March 11, to erect a new build- ing on or near the Cochran tract in the west- crn part of the city, and authorized the board to sell a lot owned by the school dis- trict on High School avenue, and issue the necessary bonds to erect the new building. A committee of the whole was appointed to look over the ground with a view to report- ing in favor of some location. That renort has not yet been made, but will come up at a special niceting to be held the latter part of next week. It now transpires that certain members of the board are averse to erecting the building. The report of the flnance com- mittee, which was recently made, shows the present indebtedness of the board to be about €)7,000. With this fact in view, Mr. Schoentgen announces his opposition to erect- ing tho proposed building this year. He states that he thinks the present indebt- ©cdness is altogether 0o heavy, without in- creasing it $20,000, and insists that the plan be laid over for at least a year. Mr. Blaxsim is of much’ the same_opinion and states that unless it is shown that_the erection of the new building is a positive necessity he favors waiting another year. in is in favor of erecting the building as voted by the citizens, rs. Hunter and Stewart have not yet taken any decided stand in the matter. They are willing to build if the neeas of the_city demand it. The latter gentleman, who is president of the board, states that the board is quite conservative in the matter and thinks that five of the members will be will- ing to go ahead with the building if it is clearly shown that it is nceded, ¥o matter what the present debt may be.' They will furnish adequate school facilities at any cost and all school children will be provided for. Au attempt will be mude to provide for the children in other schools, but if thi be done successfully the' new buil undoubtedly be erccted, Mr, Lawson, the remaining member of the board, furnished some information that places the finances of the district in a much better light. Said he: “Itis true that our indebt- edness amounts to about 97,000, of which amount $0,000 represent the bonds on the new building on' Washington street erected lust year. Now, this indebtedness is in bonds that do not fall due until from seven to ten years hence. Only $,000 will fall due “before then—$2,500 next September, and $2.500 a year from that time. So you 'see we are not in such bad shape. If this proposed $20,000 building is erected, it will necessitate additional bonds of but $16,000, as the lot to be sold on High School avenué Wil bring $4,000. There are soveral such lots owned by the school dis- trict, and T am in favor of selling them. They can never be_utilized for school purposes, and T do not deom it wise to bond the dis- trict and at the same fime pay taxes on this property. We have to pay special grading, sewerage and_paving assessments on such lots, and it takes comsiderable money. 1f these are sold, the new building will not in- crease our indebtedness 80 very much.” ———— Remember!
