Near Inspector Landergren’s Case Henrd by the Henlth Board Committ The official investigation of the alleged misconduct of Sanitary Inspector Lander- gren, in threatening members of the council n order to obtain an additional approp: tion to carry on the work of the Board of Health, proved to be a fiza The special committee, consisting of Councilman Bruner, Health Commissioner Saville and Chief avey, met in the committee room of the council yesterday and heard the evidence in the case and will report the result at the next meeting of the board The man who claimed to be threatened was Councilman Back, who sald that Lander- gren had approached him in regard to th matter and had told him that he would make the council pass the extra appropria- tion. This was all the evidence that was adduced against Landergren Councilman Howell sald that Landergren had merely talked to him with regard to the appropriation and had urged the im portance of the work of the Board of Health. Jacobsen told a similar story, with the ad- ditional statement that Landergren had told him that he had no personal motive in speaking to him in regard to the matter, but that he was convinced that the work of the board was too important to the interests of the city to be allowed to drop for lack of funds. ~This ended the investi- gation and it is probable that the committee will recommend that Landergren be exoner- ated, Canceled Huse's Contract. The failure of M. J. Huse to furnish lum- ber of the required thickness for sidewalk construction has resulted in the action of the Board of Public Works in canceling his con- tract and the matter will come before the council for approval Tuesday night Huse submitted a_very low bid on wooden sidewalks when the bids were opened last spring and the contract went to him without opposition. Sirce then the board has found it impossible to get any work done by the contractor. Huse delivered the lumber on several jobs, but in each instance the in spector decided that it was not two inches thick, as required by the contract. Conse- quently no sidewalks have been built by the contractor, and something over a week ago the board warned him that if he did not begin the construction of sidewalks according to contract inside of a week his contract would be canceled. The contractor failed to get action and the threat was made good. If the action of the board is approved by the council they will at once readvertise for bids, and if no bids are received as low as that on which Huse obtained his contract they will let the contract and endeavor to hold Huse and his bondsmen for the differ- ence on the ground that it is expense In- curred through his failure to carry out his contract. The contractor claims that it is impo: at this time to procure lumber of the thic required, but members of the board say they have investigated the matter and find that the required lumber can be ob- tained, but that it costs $2 more per 1,000 feet. hle S A seasonable ' suggestion—CourtlandBbach.’ CITED FOR CONTEMET. ald to Answer Judge Ferguson's Questions Next Tuesday. Alexander MacDonald, the man who cured o garbage contract with the city of Omaha a few months ago, has been cited to appear before Judge Ferguson at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. This is one part of the fight between Mac- Donald and other garbage men, and some time ago the court granted an injunction against MacDonald to prevent him from in- terfering with other persons who were re- moving garbage, and to prevent him from filing complaints against them on the ground that they were interfering with his exclusive contract. Yesterday Judge Ferguson was to hear arguments regarding the location of a dump where all the city garbage could be deposited, but when the case came up Attor- ney Brent K. Yates, who is representing the men whom MacDonald is trying to suppress, filed afdavits setting forth the allegations that MacDonald had violated the court's in- junction by causing the arrest of five men Who were hauling garbage out of the city Upon this showing Judge Ferguson issued a symmons for the former garbage contractor. There may be another contempt case in this connection unless the Board of Health gets a move on itself and locates the dump botween now and Wednesday night. When the court set aside the contract which Mac- Donald claims to have had with the city, as being unjust and illegal, the Board of Health was Instructed to locate a dump where all the city's refuse might be unloaded, within a reasonable length of time. So far as could be learncd the board has taken no action in the matter. Unless the dump fs located by Thursday morning the court will have some- thing to say in the matter, as it has been vepresented that the board intends dallying along until the court adjourns for this term, and after it adjourns nothing will be done in the matte The attorneys for the men who are hauling garbage on their own ac- count promise to keep the matter stirred up until it is settled, and that before the court adjourns. Macll se- e BADLY BEATEN BY FOOTPADS. Hurry and Robbed In MeCreary Slug S'Eht of Hoj Harry McCreary was slugged and robbed shortly after 10 o'clock Friday night near his residence at Twenty-Fifth and Manderson. His father saw him get off the car about 10 o'clock, but it was nearly 11 when he was fovnd unconscious on the sidewalk. His wife heard the groans that led to his dis- covery. His head was cut and bruised in several places and there was evidence of a heavy blow across the nose and face. ' The most. serious wound was at the base of the skull and the doctor who was called to a tend him stated his bellef that the skull was fractured The unfortunate man had not recovered consclousness at noon yesterday. When found his pockets were turned inside out, and his watch and what money he had were gone. That it was the work of footpads there is not the slightest doubt McCreary was struck several blows, but | it is believed that the first one rendered him unconscious and prevented any outery as no sound of a struggle was heard by one in that vicinity.
