He wanted the contract referred back to the committee.

Mr, Prince did not think that it ever was the intention of the company to have 60 hydrants pulled out and put into 310 loca. tions.

Mr. Saunde s of the opinion that the city could not hold the water works com- pany and that if suit was brought, tho city would have to pay the bill, Mr, Wheeler read the proposition sub. mitted by the water works company last January, in which it agreed to relocate 100 hydrants at intermediate points Mr. Hascall claimed that thoe city authority to compel the company to place $00 hydrants in $10 locations, He held that when the hydrants were once in 60 loca- tion they should always remain in such lo- cutions. de with ally and min fave power of re Venner of and that kick at the the it was eleventh an! had no No Mr,Elsasse o for the City took occasion to remark that the city uever stood any chance with the water works company.

As it was the desire of Mr. Rosewater that the trial procecd on the fivst count and that adecision on the charge of illegal publication be pustied first and the case decided on the i papers, the other charges were for the time bein laid aside, In opening the case Mr, Simeral offered in evidence the resolution of the board asking the proprietors of newspapers to submit sworn statement, of the circulation of the morning and evening papers. The resolution declaring Tie EVENING BEE the newspaper having the largest circulation in Douglas county was also submitted and allowed. But this conclusive evidence was not admitted without & fighton the part of the attorney for the World-Herald. In fact the legal light employed by Mr. Hitcheock kicked o everything that was smid or done and the stenographer was kept busy noting obje tions. Mr. Simeral said that the fact that Stuht placed his advertisement with the World-Herald was prima facie evidence that the applicant had not acted in good faith and in accord with the resolution of the board. The World-Herald lawyer couldn't see how the resolution bound Mr. Stuht. In reply to the objection, however, sioner Gilbert adwmitted that the resolution did not bind anybody, but said that if ap- plicants wanted their licenses they would have to comply with the rules of the board Both resolutions were admitted as evidence Then the attorney for the defense talked for awhile about the board depriving a man of his property by refusing him a license and thought it should not prejudge a Mr. Simeral said the rejection of license was not depriving 4 man of property, but in granting one the board merely allowed him a privilege, which. as had been shown, was only granted when the applicant had complied with the law, Willium Dox, city circulator of the World- Herald, was ealled and identified the afi- davits filed by himself regarding the total he paper. her objection was interposed Stulit's attorney, and it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The mayor suid: testimony will be admitted’; we have been very easy regarding the admission of testimony, and 1 ean't see why suc ab- jection should be made every time any docu- ment,which is a part of our record, is offered We are running this board and don't want or need any pointers from outsiders, There has been too much boy’s piay on the part of the World-Horald counsel. What were th Aflidavits brought he if not to proy cireulation of the newspapers?” Continuing the mayor said: “Our resolution binds body who applies for a license. Mr, Feil then swore that the afiduvits jed by Tue Bee had been madein con formity with the law and that the figur given did not include frec or returned papers, those sold to newsboys, news stands or_on railway trains. After the statement of Mr. Feil, the World-Herald s lawyer demanded that the total circulation of the sheet he vepresented be placed against the cvening edition of Tug Bre. But the board only laughed. Then he wanted to have the board decide the cas on the December cireulation, but Mr. Gil- bert said the board did not ask last Novem- ber for the circulation a month ahead. M. Simeral wanted a ruling on the edi- tions, and_wanted to know whether the board would follow the decision of the su- preme court in regard to_declaring each ed tion A separate paper. The mayor said each edition was, as he understood it, 4 separate newspaper.

J. Weaver was clected to pre side. Ho had a previously avranged list which he said he would name “as per stipulation.” It seems that Sheridan also had it avranged ‘per stipulation,” but he had two lists in his pocket and pulled the wrong one first, and that was why the house smiled audibly at his expense It is estimated that the men in this eity today pulling strings make a United States senator and it is quently remarked that they all hands behind them. A prominent republican from Saunders county said today that he would like to have Speaker Gaftin state how he stood on th prohibition question now and how on it two years ngo.

Paddock and Majors state how much time they wanted to develop their strength, the object being to compel them to show a stated strength within a certain time or consider themselves distanced in the vace.
