PROTECTING ALL INTERESTS Mayor Weir of Lincola Disonsses His Tele- phone Ordinance Veto. WITHDREW IT AT THE PUBLIC'S REQUEST He Desires a Thorough Investigation of All Phases of the Situation by the Peoplo Interested In the Matter. LINCOLN, May 5.—(Special to The Bee)— Mayor Weir's action in vetoing the telephone ordinance has created so much comment that he addressed a communication to the press this afternoon in order to explain his position. The salient points of his com- munication are handed to The Bee for repro- duction. They are as follows: “There are two sides to such a question. The company proposes to expend considera- ble money in Lincoln, and of course it should be done on terms satisfactory to the clty and on no other terms, but it an ar- bitrary enactment is made, which the com- pany will not accept, the work will not be undertaken, and the city will lose the im- provements proposed, at least for some time to come. 1 heard several parties say that the company would not accept this ordi- nance, and some of the councilmen made the same statement. I certainly am of the opinion that the ordinance will not be ac- cepted, though I know absolutely nothing of the company's intentions. Al these polnts must be taken into consideration, and if, after the citizens and the council under- stand all the issues involved, and it is the wish of the general public ‘that the ordi- nance become a law, I will withdraw the veto and sign the ordinance. The council can lay the veto over for a week, and in the meantime I have no doubt the papers will open their columns for a discussion of the subject. “I do not believe that such franchise should be given away revenue Is to come to the city, should it be by the free use of telephones or by a tax on each 'phone? If telephones are furnished free it should be done for or during the life of the tranchise and not simply for five years. The right to regulate the prices should be re- served, and many similar points considered But it takes two to make a bargain, and such measures should be adopted as can be put into eftect and the proposed improvement and expenditure of money in the city should not be prevented by legislation that will absolutely block the work, if it is possible to avold it. “I do not believe the matter should be controlled entirely by parties who have a rival or competing interest to serve, nor should any dog in the manger policy be allowed either on the part of the present company cr that of any new organization." ROW IN LABOR RANKS. Something of a sensation was created last night when the Lincoln Labor club, a branch of the American Federation of Labor, took up for consideration a resolution haying for its object the expulsion of John Currie from the club. The resolution was as follows Whereas, John Currie, a member of this olub, has shown by his'talk on the streets of Lincoln and by Jils foul, false and traitor- ous utterances through the State Journal the avowed and unscrupulous enemy of all honest labor—that he is an injury to the club and has violated the obligation he took when he became a member; therefore, be it Resolved, That John Currle be dishonora- bly expelled (rom this club and his pres- ence at the meeting denied. The resolution went over until next week o order to give Currie an opportunity to appear in his own defense. Currie has long been & prominent labor agitator, but has never hurt himselt by overwork. He was one of the first to join the Commonweal movement in this city, presided over the publie meetings at the time and prondly carried the flag in the processions that marched through the streets several nights two weeks ago. At the last election he was the labor candidate for councilman in the a valuable and it any First ward. It is claimed that he aspired to the command of the Lincoln branch of the Commonweal army and that when he was defeated he became sour on the move- ment. EXPELLED A SWITCHMAN. ‘The local lodge of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen has expelled from its order E. M. Gardner, a former B. & M. employe in this city., Last year he became acquainted with a young girl named Conkling, living with her parents at the corner of Twenty- third and R streets. The young couple were married with considerable haste in order to prevent the disgrace of the girl. They went to housekeeping at 1544 O street. A few days before his young wife was about to become a mother Gardner decamped, first glving his mother a bill of sale of all his household goods. The old lady came around the following day and carted off the furniture, leaving the young wife sick and alone in the bare rooms. She went home to her parents, was forgiven and cared for. Gardner's inhuman conduct came to the knowledge of his fellow switchmen, and, as a result, ho was expelled from the order. He has left the country. ABOUT THE BONACUM TROUBLES. Archbishop Hennessy's Visit to Hastings— Father English's Statcment, HASTING eb., May 4.—To the Editor of The Bee: The unhappy events of the past week, which have shaken the usual peace and good feeling of our city, urge me at this time to make some statements. His grace, Archbishop Hennessy, came to Hastings last Friday to investigate the Bonacum troubles. He went to the Convent of the Visitation and summoned the three of the twenty-two Sisters of the Community who were considered friendly to Bishop Bonacum in the pending controversy. His investigation ended by taking their testi- mony briefly. He informed the sisters then that a meeting of the members of the congregation was to be held at a hotel in the vity, and that he must speedily return to see and hear them. The meeting as planned did not materialize, Kive men who are nonpractical Catholics met his grace just as he was about to leave the city and presented a petition that was drawn up by two priests, friends and champions of our bishop. These priests, I am told, excuse themselyes for having come into my parish to do such an unprofessional and dishonora- ble act by saying that they were obliged to da s0. It is also said that the bishop wrote to one of the five others and urged him to act as he did. The meeting was a gorgeous fizzle and the archbishop could not but so egard it He told the committee that they should have more names to their paper and when they got them to send it to him at Dubuque. Now, some who know how his grace can deal in sarcasm when he wishes consider his words as a fitting re- buke for the action of these so-called repre- sentative men, who, with all the ecclesias- tical power at their back, could mot in a whole week have mustered more strength in a city of some 13,000 population. The com- mittee, however, took the words of his grace seriously and as a command to go about as a matter of consclence and circulate the pe- tition in our city and parish, and this they have done. Now I consider all this a gross libel on the archbishop. I know him too well and too favorably to think for a moment that he would encourage, under the circumstances, the circulating of a petition for my re- moval. I resent once and for all, with all the vehemence of indignant asseveration, such a charge made against one of our uoblest prelates. My congregation and non-Catholle friends want to rise up in angry thousands against the indignity I have suffered, but for the sake of religion and peace I will not permit it. 1 have only to say that if the author- ities of the church do not soon interpose a remedy and end our ecclesiastical difficulf my services here as a pastor will not be needed much longer, and I shall have to serve my God and country in other and happier places 1 have not seen the petition spoken of, but rom what I have heard of it I most sin cerely thank, for one thing, the pastors of York and Highland, who left their flocks and came into my parish to stir up unchris- tian strife and frame a petition for my re- moval, that they have not assalled my moral character, which, with my American citizenship, are all I have that I much prize. J. E. ENGLISH. Kearney's Can: Bonds. KEARNEY, Neb., May 5.—(Special to The Beo.)—The $60,000 bouds voted at the last city election for the purpose of widening, deepening and enlarging the Kearney canal to 9,000 horse power have been granted and signed by the mayor and city clerk, and will be sent to Lincoln to be registered next week.

Overmier re- ceived an invitation from Chief Seavey ot Omaha yesterday to attend the chiefs ot police national convention at St. Louis next Monday.
