O'CONNOR CLAIMS A PLACE Surviving Member of Poynter Police Board Demands His Seat.

O'Connor now s, or claims to be, & member of the Board of Fire and Pollce commissioners. ‘When the board met in regular session at its office in the city hall Monday afternoon O'Connor was there with a written appli- cation for permission to participate in its deliberations. He also had his commis- slon as a member of the board, issued to him by Governor Poynter and bearing date March 16, 1000., to expire April 1, 1903. He claimed that under the last ruling of the supreme court the commission is vitalized. “The way the matter stands now,” said he, “I am the only legal member of this board. You are de facto members, but I am both a de facto member and a mem- ber de jure. The other members seemed deeply im- pressed by this, and nove had the hardi- hood to contradict the statement. His ap- plication was ordered placed on file. . "I bad no fdea it was as bad as that"” #ald Mayor Moores, “‘but If you say so, It es. Meanwhile we shall ba pleased to ve your soclety.

Here applications from five firemen who want # ten-day leave of absence each. and after that will come the adjournment.” “It does really seem that the five of us ought to be enough to do that,” said Col- [ ‘We're solld on allowing these le of absence,” sald Heafey. “Now if you'll prom Ise not to outvote us, we'll let you sit in." “That's agreeable to me,” sald Mea 480, ere scemed to be no objeciiun to “the new member” sitting at the table permission was granted by tacit consent, #nd the question was not put to a veote. O'Connor retained his seat during the s slon. When the vote was called on whether the leaves of absence should be allowed, he voted afirmatively with the others, and he also voted on the motion to adjourn, but the secretary did not record his votes, & fact which he affected not to notice. The Ereator part of the session was glven over to chaft similar to the foregoing. Appointed by Poynter. Attorney J. J. O'Connor was appainted as @ member of the Board of Fire and Polico fiommllnmnefl for a term of three years arch 16, 1000. To serve with him on the board the governor appointed Harry Mil- Yer, William J. Broatch and Dr. J. H. Pea- body. Miller was to serve ome year, Broatch two years and Peabody four years. Bince the terms of Miller and Broatch have expired and Dr. Peabody has resigned, ©'Connor s the only member of the board ereated by Governor Poynter who has even & shadow of a claim upon the office. The Miller - Broatch - Peabody - O'Connor board was a board in name only, since it mever performed the functions of its office, It having been held by the ‘supreme court in the fall of 1899 that the act of the leg- tslature which placed the power of ap- pointment in the hands of the governor was unconstitutional. At the time of O'Connor's appointment another board, appointed by the mayor, was holding office n Omaha.

Brought Up By Redell. The next time the matter came up John Redell, former chief of the fire department was the relator. He had been dismissed by the present board, so brought proceed- ings to have the present board ousted and to have the governor appoint a new board in hope that he (Redell) would be rein- stated. This also falled. The supreme court refused to mandamus the governor to appoint the board. The latest decision of the court is in effect that it ie the duty of the govewmor to appoint the board. “Under this ruling,” sald O'Connor, “any board that is appointed by anyome except the governor {s necessarily illegal. I was appointed by the governor, so I hold th office legally. T shall expect to have a voice and vote at the meeting of the pres- ent board." Mr. O'Connmor declined to say what he would do if denfed a voice, but it is un- derstood that he will resort to legal pro- ceedings to oust the entire board as it now exists. Complicates the Case. “This movement on the part of 0'Con- nor complicates matters most decidedly,” sald Mayor Moores, “and it is impossible to tell how it will terminate. Here is a board of six members, four of whom I ap- pointed and one of whom was appointed by the governor, the appolntments having been made under two distinct and antag. onfstic laws. It is an interesting mixup. Apropos of the new ruling of the su- preme court many discharged firemen ana policemen are returning to the eity in the hope of being reinstated. ~Captain Haze, Nick Halter and Captain Cormack are among the old-time employes of the city who have declared themselv tar, 60 W.

Nash, 809 Park avenue, had an experience with two police officers wnom he thought were hold-up men, and two police officers had an experi- ence with Mr. Nephew, whom they thought was a burglar, that not only tested the sprinting ability of all three, but that waked a half dosen sleepy residents of the vicinlty of Mr. Ni ‘s hom d scared the greater part of Mr. Nephew's life out of him, & few nights ago. The nephew had missed the last car and compelled to walk home. At Twenty- second and Leavenworth streets he spled two men acting in a euspiclous manner across the street, standing in the shadow of a telephone pole. Mr. Nephew walked a little more rapidly & few paces and looked back over his shoulder. The two men were coming in his direction, and there was not much of note in that direction he concluded they were coming for him. He struck a dog trot. So did they. He broke Into a gallop. They called to him to halt. He did the opposite at a faster gait. The men took a fresh spurt. The three then lined out up Leavenworth street at a pace that kills. When almost at Twenty-ninth the young man, though slightly winded, took a fresh spurt and ran around behind a bullding into the alley, and as the men came in sight they saw him mount the fence into a back yard. One man followed and the other ran around to head him off in front. When both arrived at the front of tI house they heard their burglar, betw: his gasps for breath, yanking at the screen and yellin “Uncle Ed, open the door! They are aft mel” As the two men reached the porch the young man gave ome more appeal to his “Uncle E4.” “My God, uncle! it's too late.” A white-robed individual opened the door and oaught the young man as he fell in, The police explained to the uncle. A half dozen hbors, who by this th had con gregated, In company with the two police officers, whose wideawakeness had caused the commotion, walked away, discussing the love of the twentleth century youth for late hours. AT KING AK-SAR-BEN'S COURT Last of the Distinctly Omaha Nights Sees a Good Crowd at the D It was simply an Omaha night at the den last night when the Knights of Ak- Sar-Ben met for the last time before the reduced rates on the rallroads become ef: fective. The chalrman during the coursé of his remarks sald that the paid initia- tions this year were 200 in excess of the number recorded at this time last year, and this number will be materially increased during the coming weeks. Congressman Mercer was the first speaker on the program after the new members had been enrolied. Referring Lo the elegant stage setting, he sald that it reminded him of an experience in Japan, which he visited on one of free junk and the story hé told had for its point that be actually paid fare on a Japanese raflroad operated between the coast and the in- terlor. The principal speaker of the evening was Rev. E. F. Trefs, who took occasion to boom the coming excursion into the Black Hills country. He was followed by Carl Reiter, who amused the crowd with a few storles. In the games of the evening the interest ‘was inten: ‘The final was between Peter Jensen and T. B. Norris, who played with unfaltering good luck, capturing the ma- Jority of the circulating medium from their less fortunate competitors early in the game and striving sturdily for the victory at the close. The game was won by Mr. Norris, who gei th Mr. Jensen. Among those from the state who were made knights of the Neébraska order were: James Wisde of Ord, T. P. Shively of Falr- 1d, Harry C.

His condition is critioal. Mr. Brinks was discovered in the barn at 7:30 by a passing man, who stopped in to talk to him. He was sitting on the edge of & manger, his hands holding tightly to the bridle reine on thé horse, only partially Blood from a deep gash in his head had run down on his clothing and his eyes had the appearance of an insane man. alarm was given and the wounded man was removed to his home at 2602 Dou, las street and Dr. Porter summoned. The left leg of the injured mau was so badly mangled that it is probable that amputa- tion will be nec ry. No one witnessed the fight between the horse and man and it is not known how it occurred. Mr. Brinks left his home at an early hour to attend to his horses and he hae not rallied sufficiently to make & statement. He and his family intended to start yes- terday afternoon overland on a pleasure trip to New Mexico to spend the summer and he had gone to the barn to see that his horses were in good condition, preparatory to making the start. He has for a num- ber of years, sald Mrs. Bri slonately fond of his horss before been attacked by any of them. ‘While the family were attending to Mr. F. H a son-in-law of Mr. and Mra. employed by the telephone com- pany, had been taken seriously ilI during the night and had been removed to a bospital. Mrs. Brinks immediately sent an ambulance for Mr. Gwynne, and both he and Mr. Brinks were brought .to the house about the same time. Mr. Gwynne is suffering from nervous prostration and Is a very sick man. Mr. Brinks s 55 years of age. Mr. Brinks is still in a eritical condition and his recovery is doubtful. Mr. Gwynne ‘was reported much better last night. SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNCIL Passes Appropriation Ordinance an Listens to Suggestion as to provements, A speclal meeting of the eity coumcil was held Monday afterncon to pass the monthly appropriation ordinance to pay all bills incurred by the city “during the month of July and prior thereto.” It carried an aggregate of about $48,000. Before its final reading it was amended by inserting an item for $7,030.50 to pay Interest on cou- pons on special improvement bonds which had been declared invalld by the courts and therefore had become an obligation upon thé general treasury. The ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote. J. H. Adams, assistant city attorney, made an address to the coumell in which he ad- vised that no more paving, repaving or :Mln: be done by the council on anything less than a unanimous petition until an amendment could be sécured to the city charter altering or dispensing with the pres- ent petition system. “As it is now,” said he, “we can never tell whether a petition is majority pe- tition or not, because we can't tell whether the signers are in fact owners of the prop- erty for which they s A man may be of record in the office of the register of deeds as owner of the property, but for all we know to the contrary another man to whom he has conveyed it may have a pocket deed. Then the man with the pocket deed will bob up later to contest the valid- ity of the improvement and knock out the bonds. “It is impossible to avoid these compli- cations the way the charter reads now. It could be amended by dispensing with pe- titions and leaving the matter of whether or not a street should be paved entirely with the mayor or council, or it could be amended by adding the words, ‘as such ownorship shall eppear in the office of the register of deeds.’ I don't care to go on as approving or disapproving either amendments, but I say they offer & possible solution of the problem.” WOMAN FALLS IN A TRANCE Attacked Just After Being Locked in a Cell at the Police Stat: Throwing out her hands to shield her- self, Lucy Snowden, a colored woman of about 20 years of age, suddenly fell for- ward on her face in a cell of the police station yesterday evening in an uncon- sclous condition and 1:30 & m. still lay in a trance. At about 6:45 o'clock the jaller took the woman to a cell to lock her in with several other female pflln."‘ She at first refused to enter, but soon in and he locked the door. He had olly gone a few steps when the women in the cell cried out and he returned to find the prisoner lying on the floor. As the first measures taken for her rellef did not ap- parently change her condition, the city phy- siclan and others were sent for. These came to the conclusion that the symptoms were those of the letha e of hyp- Dotism, but would not make any statement pending further developments, Lucy Snow- den Was arrested on a charge of using pro- fane language on complaint of her em. ployer, J. O. Wilson of 209 Center street. They bad had some quarrel over & question of wages earlier in the day. HE TOOK HIS TIME TO REPORT irst of Columbus Asks Police to Investigate Robbery of Month Ago. Geor, George H. Hirst, who comes from near Columbus, Neb., has just reported to the police & theft which occurred July 3, by which he clalms to have lost $130 and s $2 ch. On that day Hirst started out for a carriage ride. He remembers that he paid the driver §10 and that there was some woman Iu the hack, but none of the minor detalls impressed themselves on his m-- ory. Afterward he did not have his mo or watch. The driver, Lee Shafler, has besa arrested and will be beld until fn tion can be made. Th the carriage wi closed window of the hack and did other things which caused her to leave him. She was released. The police have found where Hirst spent 3§26, so that he probably did not lose as much by theft as he supposes. After test of forty years connolsseurs promo: it the best. Cook's Imperial Dry Champagne. Former Treasurer of the Boyd Spe D. W. Haynes of New York visited rela: tives In the city Sunday and Monday. He i now connected with the management of the Lulu Glaser Opera company and succeeded in producing “Dolly Varden" 180 nights at the Herald Square theater in New York last season, the play being one of the big successes of the season. This summer Mr. Haynes has managed a sum- on of light opera in Chicago, but ns to New York in September. Lulu r 18 known in Omahs, where she ap- peared as leading lady for Francis Wilson, and will probably be here in February at the head of her own company. “The most interesting thing light opéra to which the New Yorkers are look- ing forward to,” said Mr. Haynes, “Is the coming production by F. C. Whitney of the opera ‘When Johonle Comes Marching Home.' The scene is laid in the north and the time at the close of the revolutionary war. The New York production will re- quire 224 people and tax the resources of the house. There is & rumored revival ot the Shakespearian drama in New York by Wagenhall & Kemper, the Kansas City men who made such a success of Louls James in past seasons. Just what this will amount to is problematical, as Shakesperian re- are often prophesied, but seldom ma- zed. In Chicago they are looking for the ‘Wizard of Arles, which will be put on by a strong company. It was written by Fred Baum, a resident of Chicago, and in the cast & preference will be given to Chicago talent. On the whole the year has been a suc- cess from a financial standpoint, and the prospects are that the next season will equal it. JOHN H. MICKEY IN- THE CITY Petition to Allow !dm- to Open on Bun- day 8howa Up. COUNCIL'S LICENSE COMMITTEE HAS IT Puts Question Back to Point Where It Steod When Anti-Saloon League Commenced Its Agitation. A petition containing about 3,000 names requesting the mayor and council to per- mit business houses of all kinds to remain open on Sunday was presented to the coun- cil at the meeting held last night. The pa- titloners asserted that on account of the closing of business houses here on Sunday which, of course, means the saloons, as no other business places have been interfered with, large sums of money are spent in Omaha and other places on Sunday, much to the detriment of the business interests of South Omaha. After the reading of the petition the mayor referred the document to the licenso committee. There was no comment on the petition by either the mayor or any of the members of the council during the session. A dozen or more members of the Anti- Saloon league were present and romained until adjournment, expecting that some ac- tion would be taken on the petition. The matter of Sunday closing is now right back where it was when the agitation was started by the Anti-Saloon league a little over a month ago. When the qu tion of Sunday closing was first brought to the attention of the council tbe matter was referred to the license committee, which 1s composed of Broderick, Welsh and Adkins. This committee in making a re- port referred the entire proposition to the mayor and as the council had not seen fit to take the responsibility the mayor ordered Aate for Governor Speeches This Week. John H. Mickey of Osceola, republican candidate for governor. arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and will remain here on a business visit until today. Mr. Mickey is already doing some active campalgning. He has three dates for this week, though nomie of them are of a political character. Tuesday he speaks at the Ch Tecumseh upon “Ploneers’ Day, he addresses the old settlers at Rulo and Saturday he speaks at an emancipation proclamation celebration at Falls City. Mr. Mickey is rather enjoying the cam- paign so far, though he admits he has not gotten into the & uous part yet. WASHINGTON OFFERS HELP (Continued from First Page.)

The following communication refers to the story published in The Bee yesterday to the effect that the conductors and brakemen on the Unlon Pacific and every other trunk line in America west of the St. Lawrence river would make a con- certed demand for an increase in wages on August 15, of which story a Union Pacific official yesterday said: “The 's story regarding dissatisfac- tion among the trainmen is correct.

They cure or no pay. ble. the saloons closed. Now that the petition to open the saloons has beem referred to the same committee which had charge of the request to close the saloons there is con- siderable interest manifested in the report of the committee, which will under the reg- ular order of things be handed in next Mon- day night. Through his attorney, H. C. Murphy, R. J. Sutcliffe of Bellevue flled a claim for damages In the sum of $1,500 against the city alleging serious and possible permanent in- Juries. Some weeks ago Sutcliffe was thrown from a wagon on Twenty-fourth street near R street and was so badly injured that he remained at the South Omaha hospital for about ten days. It s alleged that the de- fective condition of the street caused the accident. Councilman Smith offered a resolution directing the mayor to appolnt August Mil- ler street commissioner. By a vote of b to 1 the resolution was turned down. Adkins offered a resolution directing the appointment of a committee to wait upon the officers of the Nebraska Telephone com- pany for the purpose of making some ar- rangement for an adequate fire alarm ser- vice. This was carried and the mayor and fire and water committee will take the mat- ter up some day this week. Only one bld was recelved for the repair- ing of the pavement on Twenty-fourth street. That was from the Grant Paving company. It offered to lay asphalt for $1.50 per cublc yard and concret base for 75 cents per cuble yard. As the bid was consid- ered too high it was rejected. A petition for an arc light at Seventeenth and-Z streets was referred to the light« ing committee. The Hospital assoclation asked that the taxes on the property occupied be cancelled. The finanace committee will comsider the request. A number of crosswalks and quite a pum- ber of sidewalks and street repairs were ordered, after which the council adjourned until next Monday night. Another Contract Let. At an adjourned meeting of the Board of Education held last night the contract for a two-room brick addition to the Al- bright school was let. T. C. McDonald se- cured the work, his bid of $7,126 being the lowest. The next lowest bid was filed by Contractor Charles Winters, who wanted $7,400 for the construction of the build- Nellle Fitzgerald, Etta Reed and Miss Grifin were placed on the unassigned list of teachers. The West Side school is to be painted at a cost of $185 and the High school buflding is to be shingled all over. Buperintendent McLean requests that all new teachers eend their names and ad- dresses to him as soon as possible. Repairs to a number of bulldings were ordered, after more or less wrangling among the members as to the cost and the necessity for advertising for bids. The county superintendent of schools re- ported that $5,502 of the state apportion- ment was now on hand to the credit of school district No. 3. This money will be placed in the ti ry of the board as soon as the transfer can be made. 3 n School Roof. About §150 has been spent by the Board of Bducation within the last year on re- paire to the roof of the Jungmann school bullding and now the members of the building and grounds committee propose to have a good, substantial roof placed on the bullding in order to prevent leaks in the future. The present roof is of gal- vanized firon, and President Miller eald yesterday that the seams had cracked to such an extent that water had run down onto the cellings and had caused quite a bit of plaster to fall off. He favors a good gravel roof, one that will be guaran- teed for a term of years. Arrangements are to be made to replace the old roof with a new one and repalr the plastering before mmol opens in Sep- During the last few years the city has spent considerable money in repairing and building new wooden culverts at Thi\tieth and Y streets. When the rains this year washed out the street and carried away the old box culvert City Engineer Beal decided that something should be done to stop the continual repairing of this culvert. He talked with the members of the coun- el and the result is that & new culvert with & base of concrete is being laid at a lower level than heretofore. When the new culvert is completed it is expected that it will last for & number of years without any repalir: James Sheehan and August Papes ap- peared before Judge King yesterday and were served with complaints chargi them with, keeping thelr saloons open on Sunday. The hearing of Sheehan was set for Wednesday of this week, while that of Papez was put off until August 14. The Sheehan case will come up at the same time that the others charged with & sim- flar offense is set for. Fire Department Matte: Chief Etter of the fire department said yesterday that he would be able to move into the fire hall in the Fourth ward by Friday or Saturday of thig week.

Gus Werde- man was the first of the accused to be tried and Judge King gave him a fine of $2 and costs, which was promptly pald. In addition to Werdeman about twenty- five complaints have been drawn out and will be eworn to by Sanitary Inspector Jones, who, declares that he will have every one ‘of these people arrested.

Councllman Hoye will make the ini- tiative move at Tuesday night's council meeting by reporting in favor of the ap- pointment of a board of appraisers to ap praise the damage of opening the roadway, the proposed line of which is nearly three miles in length. Plans of the improvement in the office of the city engineer are engrossed as fol- lows: “Proposed line from Pinkney street, east of Thirty-third street to Seward street, west of Forty-first avenue, for road and drainage purposes.” The proposed line traces a devious course through the Clifton Hill and several other neighboring addi- tions, following the line of lowest depre sion, and will be used for both road and éwerage purpo “It will afford sewerage facllities for a large portion of the city near the northern and western limits,” sald City Engineer Rosewater, “and will also make a beautiful driveway. Its course will be approximately parallel with the Belt Line road and will connect with the Saddle creek boulevard." The following right-of-way will be con- demned: From Pinkney street near Thirty- third street, west through Bedford Plac thence it will extend through an unplatted tract for a distance of mearly five blocks, thence through Omaha View addition, thence it will follow the streets north and west through Hitchcock's addition to Thirty-eighth and Lake streets; thence through Olifton HIiil addition on Forty-first and Blondo streets, thence along the west line of Orchard Hill addition to Forty- second and Seward streets, where it ends. It there is no hitch in the council the en- gineering department hopes to begin work on this improvement within a month or six weeks. W.
