WHO WILL RUN THE PRISON Question of Grave Impertenco that Now Confronte the Btate Authorities. WARDEN LEID:GH WILL KOT BE THE ONE Board of Publle Lands snd Baildings Power- lews (o Appoint hut Powerfal to Prevent ~Matters Heach a Decldedly Mized Stage, LINCOLN, June 11.—(3pecial)—Tt any one desires to secure a states prison contract for two years ft will soon be time to apply. This is the decision arrived at by the Doard of Public Lands and Building a meeting held this morning Bee of yesterday morning, Al Beemer will not accept the twin positions of steward and superintendent of the state’s prison offered him by the board. The day following Beem- er's appolntment Governor H went to the board and emphatically stated that, unier the law, that boly had not right to make any appointments whatever in the prison. Kvidently he succeeded in impres<ing his views upon. the members of the board. Attorney al il and Land Com- missioner Russell sald that they agreed witn him. Instead of receding from the appolnt- ment of Beemer, it was arrangel be him and the Loard that he ehould not cept, and thus end the misunderstandmg quietly. The board then found itselt confr the problem of how to pay a warden, guards and keepers of the convicts with no mon appropriated for that purpose. There 000 appropriated by the last legislat the first year and $51,000 for the malintenunce of the convicts, penny, according to Aulitor Moore, can be usad of this fund to pay a warden or any other employe of the penitentiary. The Board of Public Lands and Buildings wanted to run sub-contracts at the prison shops under a superintendent of its own naming. Mr. Beemer held that this could pe done at a profit of about $1,000 a month to the state. The contention of Governor Hol- comb fs that the same result can be accom plished under the charge of Warden Leidigh and the profit arising therefrom could be applied (o the payment of wages of employes. But here the board takes issue with the governor. It says that the law confers on it the power to “manage” the state’s prison, but deaies the right to name a manager. One of the board frankly told a Bee reporter that he would not consent to be responsible for the management of the Institution with War- den Leldigh in solo charge. The board mem- ber pointed to the last month’s estimate of Warden Leidigh in the office of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. He sald that according to ex-Warden Beemer It was fully twice, and nearly three times too high, and out of all proportion to the amount of the yearly appropriation, $49,000. The board membor also added that he believed the con- tract could be let for 20 cents per capita per day for two years. This, he claimed, would bo a great saving to the state. Tho contract will, undoubtedly, be let for two years by the board. Bids for the same will ‘soon be asked for by advertisement. Under the provisions of the act the board is_authorized to do this. Warden Laidigh has refused to accept the services as clerk of Abe Abbey, appointed by the board of Public Lands and Buildings, and Installed Chris Frahm in that office. Frahm, who Is a convict and ex-bookkeeper of an Omaha bank, has been paroled and doffed the stripes. TO HOLD mb tween ac- nted witn but not one UP DORGAN'S WARRANT Court Asked to Prevent Anyono Cashing the Order at Present. LINCOLN, June 11.—(Special)—The ar- guments in the Dorgan Injunction suit were suddenly cut short today by the death of the fathier of Judge Holmes. Although the ceased has been very {1l for a week past, his death was not anticipated and his demise caused the dlstrict court to adjourn at noon. A new turn has been given to the case by a petition filed by Recelver Hayden, asking for an additional order prohibiting Dorgan from transferring or disposing of the war rant pending the settlement of the action whereln the validity of the assignment of prison contract by Mosher to Dorgan is at- tacked. The fact that thero will not be any available funds out of which to pay the Dor- gan warrant for one year to come will pre- vent the state treasurer from paying the same In any event. By that time both actlons pending will have been decided, and in the interim, should the court grant the order prayed for by the receiver, Dorgan will he unable to make any disposition of his big warrant. A big mass meeting of Methodists in the interests of education was held at Wesleyan university this morning, with Bishops New- man and Vincent in charge. Governor Hol- comb was among the speakers. The financial condition of the university was detailed and the information given that of the $50,000 indebtedness $20,000 has been received in the form of pledges to lift it, and pledges for the remaining $21,000 were quickly taken, thus freelng the institution from debt. The class of '05 evinced commendable originality today in the class-day exercises held at a local theater and shed considerable histrionle luster on the State university by presenting a travesty, entitled “The Council of the Gods.” The burlesque was arranged by the commitie, Misses Martha Burks, Grace Bridge and Messrs. Lyon, Sherman and Hildreth of the graduating class. The open- tng scene disclosed the home of the gods on Olympus with the “ox-eyed Hera” scated to the left of “almighty Zeus," and ‘“swift- footed Hermes" in regulation messenger boy costume, and all the rest of the immortal boys and girls celebrated by the blind bard, Homer. The farce deals with the attempts of certain mortals of the present day to gain admission to the council on Olympus. Of course the class of 95 are the only ones who in the end are found worthy to sit with the mighty “wielder of the thunderbolt” and the “white-armed Hera.” The humor of the play was of the broadest variety. The second scene opened upon the banquet of the im- s. Hephaistos and Hebe passed around wiener wurst and cherry phosphate drawn from a Woman's Christian Temperance union penny fountain, as the ambrosia and nectar of the gods. In this scene a ‘“pony" keg of beer and the large and beautiful bird belong- ing to Holman, the fruit dealer, put in an un- expected appearance. Holman's advertisement did well in his role as the eagle bird of Zeus hovering above the throne. de- Kearney Nationil's Condition.

J. Hill of Norwalk, Conn., and E. W. Maples, editor of the Norwalk Hour, came in vesterday from a loug irip along the Pacif coast, including a visit to the Yosemite, Ye lowstone National park and other show places of the extreme wést and northwest. They bad started on a trip to Honolulu, but they had the misfortue of being caught in a washout on the Northern Pacific, which de- layed their train twenfy-two hours, causing them to miss the beat. However, they im- preved the opportunity by seeing the country and sights along the Pacific coast, coming into Omaha by way of Edgemont, in which Mr. Hill has large interests Congressman Hill, in'speaking of the pres ent financial discussion, sald that he was wonderfully surpi to find =0 many gold bugs on the Pacific const, and he was in- clined to the opinion that if a poll of Califo; nia could ba made on the silver question a majority would be for honest money. For himself he said he was an out and cut gold bug, believing that there can be but one unit of value. As for international bimetallism, he regarded the idea as chimerical, simply be- cause such a thing was impossible In cf ized and enlightened countr: While 1 cannot say what will be the utterance of the next republican national convention, I beleve the financial plank will declare in favor of #old as the unit of value, However, some idea of what the convention may do may ba zathered from the result of the League of Republican Clubs next week in Cleveland. One thing, however, struck me as most re- markable on this trip, the absolute unanim- ity with which the people with whom I talked expressed themselves against the present ad- ministration. It was startling to say the least.” Mr. Hill was highly eulogistic of Edge- mont and the work being done by Mr. Grable in developing the industries of that Black Hills thriving town. Mr. Hill is vice presi- lent of the National Bank of Norwalk, pres- ident of the gas conpany and street rail- ways, and ore of the brainiest business men in_Connecticut Mr. Maples has retired from active business life and edits the Hour as a recreation.

The board will take a trip to the fair grounds this afternoon or tomorrow morning to insp the progress of work and Incidentally to settle the difference of opinion among the implement mer.

In tho light of recent developments Gen eral Solicitor Thurston's statement that the Sanborn and Gilbert orders were simply the overture to the play becomes prophetic. THEY DID NOT EXPECT IT. The order of Judge Merritt was wholly vnexpected to the American Loan and Trus company; that much is gathered from the refusal of John M. Egan to take the Utah properties surrounded by the Merritt condl tions. Should, however, better counsels pre vail and Mr. Egan, with Mr. Bancroft, enter upon the trust, it s Interesting to know that the American Loan and Trust company would have to pay in cold cash for defaulted in- terest as follows Oregon Short Line & North- n, due February | Y] Utah Northern, due January 1.,..

In a dispatch to The Bee from 1t it is represented that Judge Merritt issue an order granting receivers' certificates along the lines of Judge Gilbert's order, but it is as positively given out that an appeal will be taken to this portion of the several orders and the minority bond- holders of the consolidated mortgage will seek to restraln the issuanc of re celvers' certificates by process of injunction, which will have to be p; ed upon by the circult court of appeals In both the Eighth and Ninth circuits. The following summary of the situation was authorized by the Union Pacific yesterday morning as embodying its understanding of the status of Judge Merritt's order. “Our advices are that Judge Merritt has made one order uniform in the three Utah cases, by which he requires payment of in- terest past due on all properties before d livery and requires the continued payment of interest as a condition of retention of property. It seems that this order simply secures an houest and fair administration of the Short Line properties. “If the American Loan and Trust company is sincere in its desire to have the property operated in its own interest It certainly can ask nothing better than to have so able and experienced a man as Mr. Bancroft associ- ated with the receivership. Mr. Bancroft has known the property for many years, is thoroughly familfar with ite wants and ne- cessities and with the business Interests of the country through which the road runs. His appoiutment, thercfore, is one fit and prober to be made. “It would seem to us that the American Loan and Trust company could not object to Mr. Bancroft unless its real purpose is to get possession of the property and run it in the interest of some other railroad for some selfish purpose, or to operate it at the expense of maintenance in order to make fictitious showlng for reorganization purposes.’ In view of all that has been done and taking into consideration that there are many holes in the skimmer, it seems safe to as- sume that for the next nine months the present receivers of the Union Pacific will manage the properties in Utah, it not the whole Oregon Sktort Line & Utah Northern.

The meeting lasted all day and at its close Chalrman Caldwell, General Passenger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Island and Special Assistant Passenger Agent Smith of the B. & M. were appointed a committes to draw up an agreement, which is to be pre sented to the meeting tomorrow. The com- mittee was also asked to confer with the lines not represented and ascertain their views on the formation of an assoclation Lines not ropresented were the Missourl Kansas & Texas, Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland. The general fecling todsy was in favor of | one assoclation to cover all the teritory much ! & between Chicago and Utah.
