DISCUSS AFFAIRS OF CHURCH Episoopal Olerp and Laymen of Nobraska in Bession at Oathedral. AMENDMENT TO THE CANONS GOES OVER Recommendation of Extension Com- mittee for the Employment of General Missionary to Assist Bishop s Adopted, ‘The ‘reports of the standing committees becupiéd the early part of Thursday morn- fng's session of the diocesan council of the Bpiscopal church, that of chief consequence Peing made by the church extension com. mittee, and Including a recommendation that a general misslonary be employed at # salary of not less than $1,000 per annum to carry on the general work, much of which now devolves upon the bishop. Con- #iderable djscussion arose over the advis- Ability of assuming any such additional expense, but committeo was adooted. The repom of the drocesan board, as pead by the secretary, showed that of the forty-two countles Included in the diocese of Nobraska, In #~rteen no Episcopal par- ishes have been established at all and ‘n saventeen others but one parish exists in each, leaving almost two-thirds of the dlocese without the church To Chanme Assessment. i The really interesting feature of the morning arose from the report of the con- atitution committee, which, in addition to ral minor amendments, proposed the mmendment of canon 14, which reopened a controversy of long standing. This canon provides for the dlocesan assessment, which | 1s devoted to the current diocesan ex- penses and the bishop's salary. The com- mittes acting was composed of Rev. Father Willlams, Rev. Marsh, Rev. Woolworth and Henry W. Yates. Father Willlame, Mr. Yates and Mr. Woolworth presented a majority report which recom- mended leaving canon 14 as it s, Rev. Marsh and Rev. Ausborne offered a minority report which proposes to change the basis of this taxation from $1 per an- num for each communicant to some per- centage of the parish income. While such & change would not make so material a change in the assessment of the majority of the parishes, it would lay the heavier burden upon the larger and wealthier par- fshes and reduce the assessment of the weaker ones. A long diseussion ensued, which had not been concluded when the noon hour arrived, and & recess was taken until 2 o’clock. Amendment Goes Over. \ At the afternoon session the report of the minority on the subject of nssessments, changing the plan from a direct assessment of $1 per member to a percentage of the recelpts of each parish, was passed, but it falled to receive the necessary two-thirds vote of the lay members necessary to make it effective at once. Under the rules the matter went over for a year and at the next meoting of the council it may become ef- fective by a majority vote. . Upon recommendation of the committee on unfinished business the constitution ot the council was amended to make provision Yor the coadjutor bishop. John W. Wood, corresponding secretary of Board of Missions addressed the counll on the work of that board, showing its objects and aspirations. He defended the apportionment system of raising funds, saylgg that it was the only way in which the Hoard could arrive at an approximate a t of the funds it would receive. Rev. ‘Willlams then ‘nt.euuced a resolugjon th s of the council to srenew: in missionary work. On motion the bishop coadjutor was au- /thorized to appoint a committee to codify [the canons of the council passed since 1894, 500 coples of the journal and a like number of the canons were ordered printed. The annual report of Clarkson hospital {was recelved, showing the work of the {institution and the receipts and expendi- ‘tures.

MAYOR SIGNS TAX ORDINANCE Oouncil Meets Immediately to Pass Four Months' Appropriations CITY GOVERNMENT IN ACTION AGAIN Finance Committee Chairman Says There Will Be Sufficient Money to Provide Fire House in Jobbing District. Mayor Moores signed the tax levy ordi- nance Thursday, thereby removing the last obstacle in the way of the payment of overdue salaries and bills. A special meet- ing of the city council was held at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon to pass the salary ap- propriation ordinance. Friday and Saturday wiil be put in by the mayor and comptroller in signing warrants and by Monday the wheels of the city government will be once more thoroughly greased. 4 “‘While this levy ordinance doesn't pro- vide as much money for the betterment of the fre department as I thought it should,” sald Mayor Moores, “the boys need the money, and the merchants need it, and so I am willing to walve my objections in or- der that the warrants may be issued with- out further delay. “I don’t think it fair that the news should go out that Omaha has voted a 30- mill le¥y. The fact is it is only a 24-mill levy, as the 6 mills voted for the schools is entirely separate from the levy voted for the support of the city government.” The city treasurer's office looks like the distributing room of a postofice, as the force is preparing for the mails 16,000 postal cards calling the attention of citizens to the fact that their personal taxes for 1902 are due. These will be sent out as s00n as the assessment amounts can be re- celved from the tax commissioner. After a vacation of one day, caused by the report that Mayor Moores would vet: the tax levy ordinance, Tax Commissioner Fleming's office force is again dt work on the books, figuring out assessments on the 30-mill Lasis. As to New Fire Hall. Councilman Mount, chalrman, of the finance committee, sald: ‘‘The finance com- mittee has finished checking over the levy ordinance, and everything is ready now for the passage of the appropriation ordinance which will be attended to by the special meeting of the city council this afternoon. The ordinance will be placed upon its first and second readings; then the rules will be suspended, and it will be passed. We are going to rush the thing through with the least possible delay, and by Monday the ‘eity hall gang' will again be solvent. “&Ve can spare out of the general fund about $48,000 for the fire department, which will enable us to bulld the fire engine house at Eleventh and Jackson streets, involving an outlay of $25,000, and to pay the balance due on the lot, §14,000. There will then be enough left to purchase hose and other necessary equipment.” Passes Appropriation Ordinance. Pursuant to a call of the mayor for & special meeting of the city council, Mount, Hascall, Burkley, Hoye, Trostler and Lo- beck met in the council chamber at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon and passed the salary appropriation ordinance for Janu- ary, February, March and April. This doe- ument, which provides for the payment of $125,668.50 and comprises fifty-two pages of manuscript, is the largest salary or- dinance ever passed by the city council. The city clerk announced that, while the mayor had signed and approved the docu- ment, he had not sent a communication with it. The report of the finance committee, which recommended the passage of the or- dinance, called attention to the fact that since the passage of the last previous s ary ordinance several salaries in various departments had been raised. Those who had enjoyed an advance of salary were women stenographers, whose pay in most cases was raised from $65 to §76 per month. The ordinance passed by a unanimous vote.

PRESIDENT BURT GOES WEST With Mr. Harriman He Will Inspect Lines Between Omaha and 'Frisco. The departure of President Burt, General Manager Dickinéon and Superintendent of Motive Power Higgins of the Unlon Pa- cific rallwey for the west Wednesday night on an extended journey discloses two im- portant matters. In the first place, the of- fictals will bring back with them to Omaha when they eventually return E. H. Harri- man, the rallrad king. Secondly, the ex- tended absence of these men indicates that the conference which it was announced the executive board of the, Unlon Pacific dis- trict of machinists’ unions would have with them regarding an increase of the machin- ists’ wage scale will certainly not occur for some weeks, and perhaps not at all. Mr. Burt and his party went out in the president's private car. They are bound direct for Ogden, where they will meet Mr. Harriman, accompanying him then on an extended tour over the lines in which he is interested. This will be the final heat of an inspection trip in which Mr. Harriman has been engaged for months, and which 18 the most extensive and thorough thing of the kind he has ever done. It was early last March that Mr. Harrl- man started on this journey, leaving New York City for Chicago during a spell of pleasant weather. His plan at that time was to come directly to Omaha, and inspect the Unlon Pacific from here west first of all. Then, just as Mr. Harriman reached Chicago, came the fierce cold wave that laid its frigid grasp over all this middle west, and the magnate changed his plans. He left Chicago over the Illinois Central ning directly down to New Orleans and began on the Southern Pacific at the gult end. Since then Mr. Harriman has spent the time on the Southern Pacific, the Oregon Rallroad & Navigation company and the Oregon Short Line. The latter two he has completely covered. The former he b reviewed with the exception of the San Francisco-Ogden line, which he will now do in company with the Unlon Pacific of- ficlals. Going from Ogden-to ‘Frisco, they will all then return over that line and start in at Ogden to Inspect the Uniom Pacific, coming this way and working finally into Omaha.

MAYOR COMPLIMENTS POLICE His Honor Well Pleased with Appear- mee and Work of the Omce: At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Cap- taln Hayes lined up sixty patrolmen, mem- bers of the Omaha police department, for their annual inspection by the mayor and Board of Commissioners. With Sergeants Dempsey, Bebout, Davis, Whelan, Wisen- berg and Hudson as lleutenants, he put the men through a half hour's drill, after which the mayor personally Inspected the accoutrements of the men, the patrol wagon, the ambulance and the jafl. In a short talk following the inspection Mayor Moores stated that it was the most satisfactory inspection in which he ever participated and thanked the men for their great services to the city. “I see a great improvement over last year,” sald the mayor, “and I congratulate you. It shows that the longer you are on the force the better and more efficlent you become. 1 do not want any of you to worry about any change or feel afraid that you will be called upon to take the place of the chief or the captains or sergeants, for the supreme court has decided the question of the ap- pointment of a board and that power Is vested in the mayor. This board and I will treat you right and just good as any board that Gevernor Savage would have appointed. Do your duty and your promotions will come.” The mayor stated that in visiting other cities he always noticed the appearance of the patrolmen and that Omaha’s police in appearance compared favorably with of- flcers of other places. The mayor then brought down a storm of applause by re- questing the men to call for their warrants for the last four months' salary next Mon- day. After inspecting the jail the mayor and the board reported its condition satisfac- tory and complimented the jail crew on its appearance, {noidentally throwing a boquet to Ollle Jackson, the janitor. The men were dressed in their best bib and tucker, and stars and buttons were as bright as sunshine. The drill was a credit to the men and enough compliments were paid Captain Hayes, the drillmaster, to last him a lifetime. The inspection party was composed of Mayor Moores, Chlef Donahue, Commissioners Heafey, Mead, Collins and Kennedy and Secretary Kierstead. SUIT OVER TRADE MARK, A California Concern Stoppe Using the Name “Ralston LOS ANGELES, Cal,, May 22, 1002.—Judge Rose of the circult court of the United States, Southern district of California, has handed down a decree in favor of the Rob- inson-Danforth. ‘M{lling . company, propri- etors of the Purina Mills, St. Louis, Mo, The defendants, Messrs. R. L. Cralg & Co., have been restrained from using the word “Ralston” in’ connection with health foods or cereals. The Los Angeles concern was compelled to turn over thelr entire stock of labels and cartons, the same being burned in the furnaces at the Capitol mills of Los An- geles. Judging from the numbers of labels printed R. L. Cralg & Co. were evidently prepared to do an enormous business on “Ralston Foods. The Robinson-Danforth Milling Co., by this decree are provided with a perpetual injunction against the defendants. The name used on the packages of wheat foods was “Dr, Ralston” and the same is & dli- rect infringement on Ralston-Purina Cer- eals.
