THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1902. MAYOR HAS LEVY ORDINANCE Has Not Made Up His Mind 0. Approve or Veto the Measure, UNWILLING TO CAUSE FURTHER DELAY Jis Homor Enumerdtes Needs of Fire Pepartment Which He Thinks Should Hive Been Provided for by Counefl. Mayor Moores recelved the ordinance from the city clerk’s office yesterday morn- ing and now has it under consideration. To @ reporier for The Bee he sald: “I was in hopes the council would provide for a 31- mill levy, as the fire department is sorely in need of equipment and betterment. Two mills_are needed for this. To have levied | thesd two extra mills would not have laid the council open to oritictem for extrava- gance, since it would be providing for mething in the future, and the levy for he year's current expenses would have {been only 20 mills, “Our fire department is wholly out of proportion with the magnitude of the inter- | ests 1t has to protect. Suppose the linseed ofl works at Seventeenth and Nicholas | streets should cateh fire and there should bo & general alarm, assembling at that ppint Jalt of the city’s avatlable fire-fghting ap- ?’Irlluu, and that a few minutes later M. E. Smith's wholesale house, or some other house in the wholesalo district, should take fire—the greater part of an hour would { elapse before the equipment could be trans- !gerred to this locality. Enough damage ! could be done in that time to pay for two ! or ‘three extra fire engines. Fire Department Needs. A lot has been selected at Eleventh and Jackson streets as the site of a new engine house and the city has paid $1,000 on it; 14,000 remains to be paid. I figure that hotse would cost $26,000. The other 1tems needed are as follows: One fire en- gine (most modern type), $5,000; hook and Jadder truck, $4,000; four hose wagons, ; 7,000 feet of hose, $7,000; seven $1,400; engine house at Twenty- fourth and Lake streets, $10,000; engine t Twenty-seventh and Leavenworth Istreets, $8,000; engine house in rear of High school buflding, $8,000, making a total «of $88,400. Of course, it it were necessary, wome of these items could be dropped for 1his year, but to stint ourselves In the pur- ,chase of needed fire equipment is poor ‘nconomy. ) “I have not made up my mind as yet Ywhat I'm going to do with the ordinance. 1 belleye i I should veto it there would be enough votes in the council to sustain the ‘veto, despite the number of friends the !messure seemed to have in last night's meeting. If I don’t veto it, 1t will be be- cause I don’t want to still further postpone the payment of city warrants.” 'STEALS SMALLPOX ~GARMENT Mhdet Sells the Dangerous Cont-to an N Innocent from the R Country. | Fenry Letsenberg, who, while not in sail, s hils time in getting there, was given a thirty-day sentence yesterday in po- jce court for the worst trick he ever urned. Henry. spied a medicine case in the _{buggy of Assistant City Physician Arnold ('l'u-dny afternoon and grabbea it. With- lout walting to work the lock he slit both mldes and the bottom out with a sharp Hmife and for his trouble discovered the grip contalned a coat. He immediately re- lalized on the garment by selling it to a farmer who chanced to be in the neighbor- 'hood. The coat was worn by Dr. Arnold in \calling upon smallpox-patients and the po~ * flice are keeping an eye on rural-looking in- \dividaals to discover a new case of small- Pox.

Principal Waterhouse Bas rescinded his order issued Tuesday re- Quiring the lads to wear their coats in the «class room. “After thinking it over,” sald he yester- day, “I decided to revoke the rule and per- mit the boys to wear shirt waists, providing they dress modestly and with the proper decorum. The boys promise me that there will be no more hitching up of .trousers, but ¢hat suspenders or belts will be used “%o retain the nether habiliments in place.” The boys, who greet the new ruling with delight, say that the first hot day the #thool rooms will look ke a girls' semi- nary: G004 licalih Ia doubtless the highest human good.

VAN DUSEN DENIES A FAKE Discloses the Im native Powers of Political Newswriter in Demo- eratic Organ. With reference to the etory printed in a local democratic organ about an alleged political tleup between J. H. Van Dusen and Mayor Moores and Edward Rosewater in the interest of the first named, as candi- date for governor, Mr. Van Dusen ha: given out the following interview: “It is true that I would prefer to have without a fight a delegation from this county which will present my name to the state convention as a candidate for gov- ernor, hut it Is not true that a compact has been eutered into between Mr. Rose- water and myself, - either in person or through Judge Baxter. Neither has M. Rosewater sald to Judge Baxter or myself that he would support a delegation which was for me. No question in regard to the board of fire and police has ever been discussed. I have not been asked to use my influence with Qovernior Sayage in the appointment of a board of fire‘and police for the city of Omaha and I have no resson to believe that I would have any particular influence with the governor; even it I desired to usé it “I am » candidate for governor and hope to secure a delegation from this county. There is, 5o far as ¥ know, no other repub- lican from Douglas county aspiring to any state office, and this being true, I trust that the members of the party to which I be- long will see fit to honor me with a united delegation. “I have not been asked by Mr. Rose- water or Mayor Moores to ‘keep the mat- ter of county nominations out of the com- ing convention.’ That: question will be controlidd by the county central commit- tee and I have not the houor of being a member of that organization. “I am not given to denying rumors or Teports in the newspapers and do not want to be held responsible for any article which may be published as a matter of news in regard to the motives of my candi- dacy when the sameé is unsuthorized by me, and I give this interview out of justice to my friend, Judge Baxter, and also to correct an unfounded rumor CHRISTIAN CONVENTION RATE Central Passenger Assoclation it One Fare for Round Trip. Mak C. 8. Payne of the Christian church com- mittee announces that he has received word that the Central Passenger assoclation has granted a rate of ome fare for the round trip for the convention at Omaha in Oecto- be ‘This rate is one which the committee desired from the Western Passenger asso- clation, but falled to get, and one which was later granted by the roads reaching Omaha regardiess of the assoctation.’ The Central Pussenger assoclation reaches from the Allegheny countains to the Mississippi CLARK—Mrs, D.

Officers at the headquarters of the De- partment of the Missouri are interested in the case of Captain Deming, recently de- cided by the supreme court of the United States, in which that former officer of the United States volunteers will be released from the United States penitentiary be cause the officers who convicted him were of the regular army instead of the volun- teers. The local interest ls deeper from the fact that two officers who will be re- leased in consequence of the decision in the Deming case, were placed on trial at the order of General Bates, then in the Philippines. These two officers are Lieu- tenant Frederick Boyer and Lieutenant Frederick J. Barrows, both now in prison at Leavenworth, Kan. Each was con- victed of peculation while in charge of government stores at Manila. In each case it will be necessary for the friends of the convicted officers to cause writs of habeas corpus to issue. In addition to the officers to be released there are nearly 300 enlisted men in the different prisons of the United States who will also be released when the proper step is taken. Some of the persons are under conviction for gerious crimes, including as- saults upon women and murder. As the statute of limitations does not run against murder it is possible that those under sen- tence for this crime may be taken back to the scene of their offense for trial by civil authorities. May Claim Back Fay. ‘The most Interesting phase of the ques- tion from the standpoint of the army offi- cers is the effect of the decision upon the pay and allowances of the men and officers illegally convicted and sentenced. Under the rule of the supreme court, as it s un- derstood here, the action of the courts- martial are entirely void, so the orders of dQismissal entered against the persons con- victed are of no force and effect. There- fore both officers and men are still upon the rolls of the United States volunteers. As such soldiers or officers, they are un- doubtedly, In the opinion of the persons discussing the guestion, entitled to pay ac- cording to their rank at the time they were arrested. There is a difference of opinion as to the length of time for which they are entitled to their money. The law creating the United States volunteers in the Philippine war limited the time for which they could be maintdined to July 1, 1901, and at that time all of the volunteers, with the exception of one or two regiments en- route to thls country, were mustered out. and for that reason certaln of the officers at headquarters hold that the pay and al- lowance of the persons convicted of of- fenses and are now released by the supreme court can only be made for the time be- tween such convictions and July 1, 1901. Others, referring to the regiments which were on the water at that date, call atten- tion to the fact' that they were allowed pay from then until they were finally mustered out, and say that as the convicts have never been discharged they can clalm pay until the order discharging them is issued by the department. TRYING TO GET AT THE fiEAT Jury in Distriet Court Endeavoring to Solve Question of Galves. \ Alfred Swan and Alfred Nelson have waded into litigation ankle deep beoause of & similarity in calves. Swan put his foot in first by starting a replevin sult against Nelson, and Nelson had to follow, the proceeding having finally reached Judge Slabaugh's court, where & fury Js trylug to get at the meat of the matter. The bone of contention is a very young heifer which Swan left on his farm to be cared for by Nelson when the latter took tho place. He claimed that when, some time later, he claimed the property, Nel- son held it and tried to pass another calf on him fnstead. Swan insists that any in- telligent man knows his own calf and states that he declines to have his leg pulled fa such bold manner. The heaying was given a little extra interest yesterday morning when Judge Sla- baugh fined Karl Robinson 32 for being fit- teen minutes late and had Robinson re- leased from serying.on this jury, the at- torneys agreeing to proceed with eleven men in the box. The jury found for the de- fendant. Mother and Chil are both benefited when the nursing mother st Malt-Nutrine part of her dally meals.

Gray-Haired Othey August Enquest, age 70 years, appeared in police court yesterday with two black eyes to prosecute Oharles Kimball, age 69 years, for doing the coloring. Kimball falled to appear and the case was set for Friday. For years the men have been intimate triends and out at Larsen's boat house, where Enquest holds forth and makes a livellhood by catching minnows, he and Kimball have been in the habit of meeting dally and over a can of beer discussing the good times of long ago, when whales and alligators were-as plentiful in the river as they are scarce mow. Monday, after the beer gave out, one of the men produced a bottle of pop with which to loosen up the yocal organs. BEnquest took the bottle to open it. Part of its contents flew into Kimball's eye and Boquest made the mis- take of laughing at bis old pal. Kimball became enraged, the friendsbip of years was forgotten and he flew at Enquest like a sucker at & fly. When the fight was ended both mign were badly used up and Tuesday Enquest swore out a complaint against Kimball, —_—_— Warm spring deys produce a feellng of drowsiness. it the body (s loaded with the impurities of “wipter dlet.
