SEAVEY'S SEARCH LIGHT It Discloses Beveral Interesting Faots About Oertain Fines and Revenues. INVESTIGATING ALLEGED INADVERTENCE No Kecord Since June of Certaln Sources of Revenue—Tke Thomas Makes a Surprising Statement in Court, A fow days ago Chief of Police Seavey is sued an order to certain and report on the various sources of revenue from fines in the police This order may be the means of exposing the method of curing fines from a certain class of gam blers, according to local opinion, When the ordinance permitting and gov erning gambling was passed, Chief Detective Haze and Detective Vaughn secured evi dence against many of the gamblers and worked up cases against the policy shops. As s00n as they were ready to file complaints against the policy dealers City Attorney Cochran took up the matter and| signed the complaints himself, thus virtuaily taking the matter out of the hands of the police oftice Under Chief Seavey's recent order th policy men were brought into the volico court yesterday. They were Thomas Deni son, 1. J. Thomas and Frank Lynch. On Wednesday Denison saw the assistant city attorney ana after dictating a complaint went before Judge nd plead guilty to running one hous rward ascer tained that Thou running two houses and had only been paying a fine for one. As soon s this was learned another complaint was made out and he was again arragned id another fine amounting to #0. 1 ke Ihoma i man who runs whe pay for “gigs.” “saddles” and s arraigned. He plead guilty to the charge and the judge fined nim $40. He protested against this, saying that he had already paid his fine. He was asked if ho hud a receipt. “No. 1 have not, but [ have already paid my fine to Court, Oficer Walker ond don’t think it is right that 1 should be fined again.” Crused Some Surprise, This statement caused genuine surprise and upon investization it was discovered that there was no record of these men hav- ing paid any fines since last June. These fiues amount to about $300 per month and there is no record of any collections of these fines since June. This would make the amount nearly, 1f not quite $1,200, which the i s evidently lost, either through negli- e or through other causes. A thorough tigation is being instituted and a re- of the matter will be made public 1y. Court Officer Walker oty attending a trial and his side of the case cannot be learned until he returns. City Attorney Cochran could not be found, Chief Detective Haze, who seems cognizant with the details of the matter, said to a Bi reporter last evening: “When the gambling ordinance went into effect Detective Vaughn myself worked up cases. against the y men, to be prepared for in case they pleaded not Aftel we had ured the the city prosecutor practically took the matter out of our hands b ng and swearing to the complaints himself. There were several dealers in policy and one duy when I was talking to Mr. Cochran he said that these fines amounted to about £300 per month and in the course of a fow years the city would be able to build a fine new jail from this source of revenue alone. I went away and when I came back I had so muny other things to attend to that 1 have paid 10 more attention to the collection of these fines, supposing that some oue was looking after them. When Thomas was arraigned today and said that he had paid his fine to Walker, we began looking up the records. We cannot find that any report has been muado regarding the policy men. When ‘Walker returns we will know all about it and find out if Thomas told the truth in court. It looks as if the city had lost quite & sum of mouey in some manner.” A report about the condftion of affairs will be made to Chief Seavey some time today. Ike Thomas was seen last night and said that he had left the paying of his fine to his partner. He had the latter's word for it that it had been paid. Denison was seen later on and claimed that he had not paid any fine for several months, According to the police this would indicate that some one had been derelict 1n their Guty, as the gam- bling licenses are to be collected regulas each month. The ofticers make all the other gamblors pay their fines regularly or close up until the fine is paid. ‘The discovery of yesterday was the topic of general dis sion in certain circles last night, and th sults of further investigations are await with nterest. port sh 18 absent from the WANT THE BUNDS. Brokers Anxlous to Capture a's Improvement Debentures The increased interest taken in Omaha bonds by eastern inyestors is evidenco that the financial world 1s rapidly recovering from the depression of the past few months.

The universally prosperous farming communities are those under an irrigat ing canal. Soil in the arid region is ex- ceptionally h and water makes it re- markably” productive. The great in- crease in the yield has been so often demonstrated that farmers practicing this system unhesitatingly say that they raise more on forty acres than thoy ever BAW grown on the best quarter section In the humid region. The crop is ab- solutely assured and the quality brought to perfection. The rule becomes— smaller acreage and closer cultivation. This means more neighbors, more social advantages, better schools and churches and a happy, prosperons and contented community, as all irvigated sections quickly become. This is why land sells In settled communities at from $75.00 to 200,00 an acre, and it is worth it when rops are produced year in and year out which range in price from $45.00 to 00 an acre. G. J.

Omama, Oct. 12—To the Editor of Tnr Ber: 1 notice an article in the Omaha World-Herald under date of October 11, headed “Omaha's Fire Protection is entirely mislcading and unjust to the waterworks company. While as a general thing 1 do not care to go into print 1 deem it best in this case 1o reply to the article above mentioned in order toset the waterworks right with the people of Omaha, the larger portion of whom realize that Omaha has the finest and most e waterworks system of any city in the United States. Now, as to the determination of the Board of Fire Commissioners to bring the water. works company to time, 1 wish to_say that we are alrendy on time with eight or ten times the size and capacity of water pipe od for in our contracta vith a pressure beyond what the contract calls for in_every instanc that the contract calis for & all of which have been made and were required to be made before the water works were finally accepted by the city. A8 to the assertion that we are not abie to throw eight streams simultaneously through one-inch nozzles at the corner of Fourtcenth and Farnum streets, 1 will sim- vly say that iv is entirely false, The proposition 18 so simple that T am sur- prised that any man of ordinary sense could question it. It isa matter of figy Hgur will not lie, but sometimes politicians do if they can_thereby creat livtle political thunder. The pressure v Fourteenth ana am streets ninety- cight pounds at all tim, and night. It has not vavied from that the past ten years other than when the lines have been shut down for repairs or the necessary extensions. Now any opg familiar with hydraulics knows that a column of water 2 fect in height represents one pound of water pres- sure, Ninety-eight pounds of pressure through 100 feet of rubber hose with one- inch ring nozzles will throw water to an ele- vation of 130 fect, but some oue may raise the question tiat if sixor cight streams are simultancously thrown, it would perh; lower the pressure. In answering this, I will say that if the water maius were all small this undoubtedly would be the case, But our system of mains 18 so arranged and is so far beyond the capacity required that it matters not if eight or eighteen, or even twenty-eight streams are taken simultaneously. 1t will not mater ally affect the pressure. To prove my asse tion I have on tile at the water works oftice charts taken from an automatic pressure gauge, which vecords the pressure at all hours of the day and night, and_which «ny one can see by calling at our ofice. These records and charts have been taken for a number of yeurs and show vhat the pressure hus never vavied during any of the large fives or at any time other than when a main is broken, IFor furtber proof, and Tam going to back cment T make with proofs, ask am user or engineer up and down r Douglas strects, and they all it ever their prossure ried during any of the large fircs or time and tney will undoubtedly tell No. never.” "These engincers all ve water as well as steam gau hed to their boilers and other apparatus and constantly kecp watch of them the same as they do of their steam gauges. Now, as to the water company having been given too large a leeway, I desire to say that the water works company has not only lived up to its contract with the city of Omaha, but it has gone far beyond what it contracted to do and has never hesitated to make any expenaiture, no mat- ter how large, if it was convinced ' that it was to the interest of Omaha to do so. Look at the vast amount of money it hase ex- pended in large water mains throughout the city, notably the large hne from Florence to South Omaha, Think of the immense amount of money expended in machinery, buildings, grounds and reservoirs, which could justas well have been put off for years, and yeu listen to tnis sensc- s prattle about the Waterworks company not lhwving up to its contract. Many of these people who are creating the loudest noise are people whe have no idea of the immense amount ex- pended in coustructing and_equipping these splendid works, and are simply tilking at random, Those who are loudest in critici ing the works are men who have never taken enough interest in tho works to go out to Florence and sce what is there, but instead stay at home, and (as the World-Heral 1 puts it) “'put forth their splendid efforts to show up the defects of the water works.” This is commendable, to say tho least, but the American Waterworks company is ready to ackpowledge any defect they may point out, but it is a hard matter to show up defects where none exist.

The testimony of City Treasurer Bolln was to have been taken, but as that official is absent in Chicago his deposition will be recorded on his return City Attorney Connell also introduced certain documents from the treasurer's of- fice and especially the distre warrant, served upon the company, under which cer- tain cars were levied on for the payment of £16,274.10 delinquent taxes. The company maintains that inasmuch as it is taxed by the state on its carnings, municipal and county governments have no right to levy taxes against its rolling stoclk, because they indirectly receive the share of their tax from the sta Wrior to 1800 no return was made to the state board.

Statesman Macleod's Report of a Meeting Denied by Mr. Bem's. A morning paper quotes Sam Macleod, the athletic superintendent of buildings for tho Board of Education, as having had a row with Mayor Bemis. Macleod is quoted as suying: *I had asked the question in ‘a cer- tain body of men'—which, in parenthesis, means the American Protective association —whether any one knew whether Mayor Bewis had refused to vote on a cer- tain question in the fire and police board. Some of Bemis' hirelings ran and told him that I had said he had refused to vote, when 1 had only usked if he had refused. Bemis met me i the city hall and called me a liar. 1 said to him, ‘I don’t care whether you are mayor or not; you must take that back. I helped give your you dignity,and if youdon’t thit ba I'll wipe off the half I gave you, mayor or no mayor.” He took it back, The above publication occasioned consid- erable amuscment among those who were conversant with the real facts in the case. Tho idea of Mayor Bemis being bluffed by Macleod partook largely of the humerous, but the audacity with which the facts were distorted aronsed somo indignation, When shown the clipping Mayor Bemis simply declared that the account of the affair as published was false from begimning d. *I met Macl in the rotunda of the city hall,” said the mayor, “and toid him that I had’ heard that he had been doing a good deal of talking, 1 added vhat accord- ing to my information he had for several days past been engaged in cireulating the statement that at a secret meecting of the Fire and Police com- mission the question of dismissing Jack Galligan had come up for consideration and that two of the members present votes for dismissal and the other two on the con- rary, while I refused o cast the deciding vote, 1 then said thatany man who made such a statement was an infamous liar 10 such meeting of the board had been held, and that no oue could nceuse me of being afraid 1o tak idon any question which came before me in my official ¢ vy, " Do you mean to ealt me u liar,’ Macleod, swel himself up, say exactly what I said before,’ I replied, ‘that any man who ha ide such a charge is an infumous liar.’ Macleod then made & movement ns if he would strike me, to which I paid no attention and Mr, R.

Then Macleod expluined thay he haa never made such statement, but had only asked sonie one else fon whieh Johnuy Thompson had askea him, whether such an occurrence had taken place.

Pt obiel Y CONTEST OF CONTRACTORS, Mnaterial Men Have a Pretty Fight for the Paving of a Street, There is an interestiug fight pending in the city council over the ordinance providing for the paving of North Eighteenth street | from California to Cuming streets. The mat- ter has been hanging fire for a long tin lively difference of opinion among various members as to the question of its disposal The ordinance originally designated red as the material with which the street should be paved, but after the ordinance had been duly passed 1t was found that though a decided majority of the property owners had joined in a petition fc paving, there was no majority for any sort of material. Some of the petitioners wanted sandstone, others brick and a third pet was in favor of asphalt, Then a multitude of protests and remonstrances. It was claimed that the petitions wore being engincored by contractors in the inter of the three materials named men were on hand with a protest against the use of sandstone as contemplated by the ordinance. The itingent remon- strated against the use of brick and the re sult was A petition with a long list of signa tures, protesting against puving the street at all unti a8 contrary to the rs of the council who ved portion of the surrounded by paved views ¢ mainta street was entirely streets and in the interests of tho city large it was important that it should be pave as soon as practicable. The whole stack of petitions, protests and other docu- ments was finally veferred to the Iifth ward delegation, who veported in favor of the immediate paving of the street with brick. This called out more protests and the matt was laid on the table until the last meeting of the council, when it was r iscitated at the instance of Mr. Saunders. ‘The motion to take from the table was carvied by a vote of 8 to 4, some of the minority frecly announcing that the brick contractors had a finger in the pie. As it was seen that they couid not muster the ten votes necessary to pass the ordinance the majority cons it over for one week. “There is a bitter opposition to the passage of the ordinanae. conses.
