FIVE RIDES FOR A (UARTER Lincoln Street Car Company Says that's All it Can Afford to Give. TRYING HARD TO REPEAL THE ORDINANCE DiMculty In Paying Dividends Makes Economy a Necessity—Conductors Also to Bo Dispensed with if Pres- ent Intentions Prevail. LINCOLN, May 17.—(Special to The Bee.) Another fight between the city council and one of the municipal corporations of Lin- coln is on, and, as usual, the contest has taken the place of everything else as a subject of general conversation. The Lin- coln Street Railway company has secured the introduction of an ordinance in the city council repealing the law requiring it to soll six tickets for a quarter and permit- ting it to place fare boxes in the cars and thus dispense with the conductors. The in- troduction of the ordinance has arouscd a storm of protest, and, on the other hand, a xery few people stand up for the street railway company. When the Lincoln Street Railway com- pany sccured its charter the city council exacted a condition that six tickets should be sold on the cars for 25 cents. When the cars commenced running the company de- clined to sell six tickets for 25 cents on tha cars, and sought to evade the law by plac- ing tickets on sale at different stores around the city at the rate of twenty-four for $l. For some time the patrons of the line grumbled at the cvasion of the law. One day a man tendered 25 cents for six tickets and was refused. He declined to pay 5 cents for his fare, but agreed to pay 25 cents Jor six tickets and give the conductor a ticket for the fare. A free fight ensued, and the conductor finally succeeded in ejecting the passenger from the car. The passen- gor sued the company, and the case found its way to the supreme court. That body decided about a year ago that the company would have to sell six tickets for 25 cents and that conductors must be supplicd with tickets for sale to all who called for them. The company now states that it cannot pay dividends and must do something to in- creaso its revenues and cut off expenses. It desires to rapeal the six tickets for a quarter ordinance and wants the privilege of running its cars without conductors. The ordinance will be hotly contested in the city council, but it is generally believed that it will pass. REFUSED TO PRODUCE ITS BOOKS, A case of considerable importance to Lin- coln newspapers and saloons Is in progress before Justice Spencer of this city, and the proceedings came to a somewhat abrupt ter- mination this afternoon because of the re- fusal' of the manager of one of the news- papers to produce evidence of the circulation of his paper. One of the Lincoln saloon kecpers sued the Daily News for $10, that being the amount fn excess of the fee charged by the State Journal for printing the annual notioss of applications for saloon license. When the printing was done the notices were all inserted in the News, for the reason that that paper claimed to have the largest circulation in the city. The notices were also published in the Daily Journal and the daily call because those papers also claimed to have the larg:st circulation. The News charged the regular legal price of $7.50 for each notice, while the other papers charged but $250 for e notice. H. Waltemade brought suit to recover $5 each on two notices ho had published in the News. In the trial before Justice Spencer Waltemade alloged that the News' publica- tion of the notice was illegal because it had not the largest circulation in the city. The business managers of the three papers were called into court and instructed to bring their circulation books. The News re- sponded, but Manager Sechrist of the State Journal refused on the ground that the Jour- nal was not a party to the suit and could not, therefore, be compelled to give testi- mony. Justice Spencer then atked the Journal manager to submit his circulation books to the court and the attorneys for each side. This offer was also refused. The caso was then adfourned until next Tuesday afternoon, before which time Justice Spencer will make up his mind whether he has the right to compel the Journal manager to pro- duos his books. MORE CAPITAL NATIONAL SUITS. Recelver Hayden of the Capital National bank today commenced' siiit against J. W. Latham to set aside a transfer of Lath; 's property to a relative: named J. W. Perry. Latham was one of the stockholders of the Capital National bank at the time of its failure and held 100 shares. He refused to pay the 100 per cent ‘assessment levied by the comptroller of the cugrency, and when the receiver commenced suit transterred all his property to other parties. The prop- erty at Tenth and N strects was transferred to Perry, other property in Lincoln was signed over to his daughter, while still more !in Harvard and Sutton was transferred to N. D. Laughlin. The above transfers were all executed on April 17, 1893. On July 21 , of that year Receiver Hayden attached the property for the benefit of the creditors of the bank. In the suit commenced today the receiver alleges that Latham transferred the property with the purpose of defraud- ing his creditors, and that the property Is still managed in Latham's interests.

The National Wall Paper company today commenced suit in_disirict court to set aside the bill of sale of the Clason & Fletcher stock of books and wall < paper to W. E. Burlingim of Omaha ‘ot the ground that the sale was made with intent to defraud ditors. The stock wAE first transterred o to the Columbla Natibnal bank for $10,200 and by the bank sold to Burlingim. The plaintift in the suit ponmenced today al- leges that the stock wa$ worth §$21,000 and that eastern creditors were purposely de- frauded in the transaption, The law against leaving teams untied on the streets Is being rigorously enforced. Several prominent business men were ar- rested today. Tho case against A, S. Jones, charged with the murder of Jorfy Peck at Sprague last February, has been gontinued until the September term. The contract for Lincoln's new schook building has been let to Tri Oleson for $67,020. The bid does clude heating and ventilating. The Lincoln Board of Rducation has tssued warrants to the amount of $59,020 in excess of the general fund. A deficlency of $65,000 at the end of the fiscal year Is estimated. The Elite castle, Knights of the Golden Eagle, of Omaha, and Red Cross castle of this city united in a picnlc at Lincoln park this afternoon. Both lodges paraded the streets with bands and banners before tak- ing the cars for the park. At the park Mayor Weir delivered a brief address of welcome, Deputy Supreme Chief Haas of Omaha responding. Adresses wore delivered by Victor Seymour and C. W. Derry. After a basket dlnner tho afternoon was given High & not In- up to the enjoyment of athletic sports and games. PARK IMPROVEMENTS. Funds Will Not Warrant the Carryluz Out of Enrly Plans, The plans of the Board of Park Commis- sioners are likely to be seriously em- barrassed by the recent decision against the city in the case where Clark, Dumont and others brought suit for additional damages growing out of the condemnation proceed- ings at Riverview park. According to the report of the appraisers the damages in tho caso were assessed at about $10,000. The plaintiffs refused to accept this estimate and brought suit for additional damages. The verdict in their favor was for $15,000, and as there is only $37,000 in the park fund, nearly half of the available funds for this year's improvements are disposed of. Tho result is that the board will follow a very economical policy for the remainder of the year. No further improvements will be attempted and it is likely that some of the men now employed will have to be dis- missed. Superintendent Adams was at the High school grounds yesterday preparing to begin the improvements contemplated by the Board of Education. These will be pushed forward at once, and will be completed during the summer vacation. The park board is beseiged by scores of men who want work. There are a good many men employed In the work now going on at various places, but as the force will be diminished rather than increased all applicants for employment are turned away A We could not improve the quality if we paid double the price.

Will Plead Irresponsibility to the Charge of Duplicating Pay Checks. Nothing was done yesterday in the Max- well court martial case at Fort Omaha. Licutenant Maxwell has sent to Chicago for depositions bearing on his case and it is understood that he will make a hard fight for his job. It is reported that Sergeant Tom Ormsby of the Omaha police force will be called as a witness for Maxwell. The defense wants to prove by Ormsby that Max- well was at a downtown hotel for nearly a week when absent without leave and part of the time was on the verge of delirium tremens, This testimony, Maxwell thinks, will prove that he not responsible for his acts and therefore did not know what he was doing when he duplicated his pay accounts.
