The aispasition of the communication depends entirely upon how the mayor feels when the paper is read. For years past the city has received a portion of the county road fund. The amobunt received varles according to the amount of taxes pald in on this fund. When & sum of money accumulates the ety treasurer 1 notified and he goes to Omaha and obtains a check for the por- tion of the fund dfie South Omaha. Some years it is $3,000 and then again it is more. ‘When the matter was brought to the at- tentlon. of the city authorities yesterday the general impression was that if the park board wanted to obtaln this money, especially the money that had been secured and already expended for street repairs, it would have to bring sult. . When shown the communication from the park board one member of the council who is well posted on city affairs said that the present mayor and council would not e bluffed by Mr. Van Dusen or any other member of the park board, and that only @ decision of the courts would compel the city to disgorge the money already re- celved and spent. The park board is now composed of John F. Schultz, W. J. Mc- Crann, J. H. Van Dusen, Willlam Maberry and C. M. Hunt. The opinion is freely expressed that the park board wants to establish bouleva: and go to expenses entirely beyond tl means of the city. Express Companies Balk. It was stated yesterday that the express cempanies doing business in South Omaha ‘would refuse to pay taxes on the valuation of franchises and stock as returned by the city tax commissioner. While the atten- tion of the city authorities has not been called to this matter yot, it is presumed that since the fact has been made public some steps will be taken by the city treas- urer to collect this tax. The express com- panies assert that they are doing an inter- state business and for that reason no mu- nicipality has & right to.assess a franchise.

Officers of the assoclation report that a large number of tickets have been sold and that a big crowd is expected.

Dezer's saloon, | Thirty-sixth and U streets, last night Patrick Shea cut and badly injured Jo- seph Rezek. From all accounts, there was a rough house. The story told by Shea, who'is now in the South Omaha city fail, Is about as follows: “There was a gang of fellows in the saloon talking about the Venezuela question and the result was a mixup. When the stove went over I was the under ome in the fight and I did the best I could to protect myselt.” Continu- ing, Shea sald that if he cut Rezek he did not know it. Later on he admitted that he did the cutting, but it was dobe in self- defense. Shea has been employed at Cudahy's for years and s considered an expert butcher. From accounts, he had a skinning knife with him at the time of the trouble and went into the fight well prepared. Shea lives at Thirty-eighth and U streets, where he owns property. As for the injured man, the police had him removed to the South Omaha hospital, where Dre. McCrann and Delanney at- | tended him. An inspection showed two | long cuts &n the scalp and one quite deep cut just over the heart. At first it was thought that the blade of the kuife had plorced the heart, but this did not prove o be so. At midnight Rezek was resting fly and it is expected he will recover ess complications arise. Rezek lives whh his family at Thirty-ninth and Jack- son streets and has a wife and two chil- dren. The police are of the opinion that all those implicated were under the influence of liquor at the time of the fight. Shea, while held at police headquarters, has not been booked, as the police are awaiting the outcome of the injurles to Rezek before making formal charges. Magie City Gossip. Hard coal, all sizes. A.

FRAME NEW STATEHOOD SCHEME Sultan of Morocco Sends Strange Doc- ument to Visier of Forelgn Af- rs of the Excited Amer- fean Government, WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The conferees on the Department of Commerce bill have reached an agreement. The contention of the senate In the most important matters have been acceded to by the house con- terees, which leaves the Interstate Com- merce commbssion a separate organization. All reference to the Interstate Commerce commission is eliminated and the statis- tical bureaus to be transferred are speci- fled as being confined to the War depart- ment, the Navy department and the De- partment of Justice. Previous to the meeting of the sen- ate Senator Clay asked the democratic members to meet him fot an informal dis- cussion of the deadlock over the dispo- sition of the Interstate Commerce com- mission. He explained the siuation and all of them expressed their willingness to stand with him in opposition to the report in case the bureau should be transferred to the new department. Senator Clay car- ried the information of this proceeding to the conference. Senator Nelson stood with bim in demanding that the commission be left as an independent division of the gov- ernment, while Senator Hanna declared that he did not desire that the success of the bl should be incumbered by an amendment to accomplish a purpose which he thought had already been accomplished. Senator Nelson suggested the provision specifically mentioning the statistical bu- reaus to be transterred. Mr. Hepburn was the first of the house conferees to yield and soon afterward the other members came over and the work of creating the new ex- ecutive department was completed. Cal Hay Visler. In florld Oriental style the State d partment has been notified that the sultan of Morocco has decided to make an exhibit at the St. Louls exposition, and has set apart $100,000 for that purpose. The notice came to the department with the following preface: ““Thanks be to Allah; alone to the vener- able, the highly honored, the wise, in whom reliance is placed, John Hay, vizter of forelgn affairs of the exalted American government." Hope to Settle Statehood Deadloek. The ieading republican members of the senate who oppose the omnibus statehood bl were in conference for quite a- timo today trying to devise a compromise meas- ure. They did mot change their plan for a double consolidation, providing for the ad- mission of Oklahoma and Indian territory as one state and of Arizona@ind New Mex- ico as another, but they -talked especieily of the time and method of bringing the subject before the senate. Finally they de- cided that the mew. bill should be eubmit- ted first to the committee on territories, and that the question should be sprung next week, but did not set any definite day. The one difficulty was the doubt of securing the adherence of all the repub- lican senators, as.the opponents of the omnibus bill object to the admission of New Mexico and Arizona even as one state. The democraty generally declare that they will not agree to consolidation, and some of them say that rather than submit they will let the bill fall altogether. Leaves Land Ofiice. Fillbert Roth of New York has resigned as ‘chief of the forestry division of the general land office to return to the for- estry bureau of the Department of Agri- culture. H. H. Jones (Ind.), the present assistant chief, has been selected as chiet of the division. Plan for Commercial Exchange. Senator Patterson today introduced an amendment to the Philippine currency bill to carry into effect the president’s recom- mendation for a commission to devise a plan for a commercial exchange relation between gold standard and silvor standard coins. The amendment authorizes the president to invite Great Britain, France and Germany and other gold standard countries, Mexico and China and other sil- ver standard countries, to appoint repre- sentatives to a conference to devise a plan for adoption by the several governments by which a fixed commercial exchange might b established. Salvador Wants No Wa: Senor Lopez, the Salvadorean minister, has had a message from his government of a reassuring character which he com- municated to Secretary Hay. Generally it was to the effect that the people of Salvador were not inclined to war with their Central American neighbors and were determined to keep the peace. President Makes Nominations. The president today sent the following nominations to the senate: Navy: Lieu- tenant Commander Robert C. Dennlugz, to be commander. Revenue cutter service: Promotions—First Lieutenant Willlam F. Reynolds, to be captain; Second Lieutenant C. E. Johnston, to be first lieutenant; Third Lieutenant Joseph H. Crozier, t be second lieutenant. Wi Senator Foster today presented to the president Clarence W. Ide, collector of customs of the Puget Sound district of Washington. Mr. Ide is in Washington in conference with the treasury officlals re- garding the smuggling of oplum and the illegal entry of Chinamen into the United States. It has been determined, as & re- sult of the conferences, that radical meas- ures must be resorted to to put a stop to Stop Chinese Smuggling | both practices, which are particularly fla- grant in Collector Ide's district. Frepeh Ambassador is Prehented. M. J. J. Jusserand, the recently ap- pointed French ambassador, was presented | tormally to President Roosevelt today.

Bristow, fourth assistant post- master general, has returned from a tw weeks' visit in Kansas. While out in his native state General Bristow purchased a newspaper plagt and the announcement of the fact caused a renewal of the rumors that be 18 to retire from his present posi- tion in the government service. The gen- er.l stated today that he had no intention of Tesigning.and further, that he was get- tirg very weary of hearing that resignation report which had been circulated almost weekly for the last three years. It is known, however, that certain influentia political friends of Representative Dave Mercer, who falled of re-election In the Second Nebraska district, are urging the edministration to find & place for him, preferably one i the postofice department Several senators and representatives have urged the Nebraskan for General Aristow PLURAL WIVES IN MEXICO Discussing Statehood Hears Anti-Polygamy Revela- tor Could Not Speak Spanish. nate Mormon WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The statehood Bill again today claimed the greater share of the senate's attention. Mr. Kean (N. J.) continued, but did not conclude his speech, and toward the close of the day there was & general debate on the necessity of in- serting! sateguards againet polygamy. A large number of bills to which there was no objection were passed. Senator Gallinger (N. H.) presented a partial report of the conference on the bill increasing pensions to ex-soldiers who had lost limbs. He stated that the house had changed the rates materially. The re- port was adopted and further conference ordered Mr. Morgan (Ala) again called up his resolution calling for papers concerning the | movements and correspondence of naval officers in Colombian waters. Mr. Hale's (Me.) motion to refer this resolution to the committee on naval affairs prevalled by a strictly party vote of 31 to 18. The resolution was therefore re- ferred and when Mr. Morgan complained that it would not be acted upon by the committee Mr. Hale replied that it would not be favorably reported in its present form with his consent. The senate then passed the following bills: Authorizing the promotion of Major Willlam Crawford Gorgas, surgeon in the United States army; for the relief of Cap- taln Joseph D. Sims of the United States revenue cutter service; providing for the holding of circuit and district court of the United States at Kansas City, Kan.; giv- ing pensions of $75 each to the widows of Generals Sigel and Negley; for the pro- tection of the public forest reserve and national parks of the United State Mr. Kean then resumed the statehood debate and read a book of travel by a German author to show that polygamy still existed in the Mormon church in the re- public of Mexico. This fact was after- ward commented upon by Messrs. Bever- Idge (Ind.), Spooner (Wis) and Depew (N. Y. as proving the contention that polygamy had not been abolished Mr, Spooner asked Mr. Rawlins (Utah) whether the revelation for abolition had covered Mexico. Mr. Rawlins referred him to the documents, saying he did not care to put any construction on them, but Mr. Hoar (Mass.) remarked that *‘possibly the revelator had not been able to speak Spanish.” Mr. Rawling added later that as he re- called President Snow's proclamation for- bldding polygamy it had covered the Mor- mon church throughout the world. Mr. Depew read the proclamation to ehow $hat polygamy had only been “suspended,” and not prohibited. He thought another revelation from the Mormon church should be forthcoming. Mr. Bacon (Ga.): “If the semator wants an authoritative statement in the semate on the subject, he may have all his doubts .removed next session, when the new sena- tor from Utah takes his seat.” “That,” replied Mr. Depew. “is the only argument that I have heard for the admis- sion of a Mormon to the senate.” Mr, Teller (Colc.) expressed the opinion that, notwithstanding the book quoted, po- | lygamy did not exist among Mormons in Mexico. He did not belleve the people or the priests of that country would tolerat it. However, it was his opinion that polyg- amy was entirely foreign to the subject of statehood. Mr. Spooner took issue with him, urged the importance of the matter. “With me it is no trifiing matter, no question of delay, and when we are told here that the Mormon church controls the elections in a state now in the union, we must admit that that state was not pre- pared for admission.” Replying, Mr. Teller contended that the tew Morwmons in Arizona would not be cap- able of controlling elections there. So small a consideration should not stand in the way of a promise made in the treaty of Guadaloupe, Hidalgo, to admit as states the territory acquired from Mexico. The memate then went Into executive ses- slon, and at 4:50 adjourned. ANTI-TRUST BILL PASSES imously Adopts Littlefl Proposal to Curb Cor- porations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—By an ananimous vote—245 to O—the house today passed the Littlefield anti-trust bill. For three hours the democrats ofered @ serles of amendments designed to place “teeth” in the bill, but they were elther ruled out of crder or voted down by a strict party vote. On only one occasion were the political ranks broken. It was on an amendment offered by Mr. Thomas (Ia.) to compel the filing of returns by all corporations. On that amendment seven republicans voted }with the demacrats. The bill as passed requires corporations “hereafter organized” to file returns, but the interstate commerce commission ‘s given suthority to call for returns from similar existing concerns doing Interstate business. In the absence of Speaker Henderson, who I8 1ll, Mr. Lacey (Ia.) today presided. Routine business preceded the resump- tion of consideration of the anti-trust bill. The senate amendments to the army ap- propriation were concurred in/ and the bill was ent to the conference. Hull (Ia.), Capron (R. L) and Hay (Va.) were ap- pointed conferees. General debate on the anti-trust bill hav- ing closed yesterday, the bill was read for emendment under the five-minute rule Mr. Littlefield (Me.), in charge of the bill, offered an amendment, which was adopted, providing that suits for fallure to make re- turns could be brought wherever the de- faulting corporation “bas a place of bus ness.”" Mr. De Armond (Mo) offered the minor- ity amendment to this section, providing that all corporations with & capital of $10 000, or more, doing an interstate business should make aunual returns. It was voted down—T0 to 96, The roll was called upon the demand of members on both sides, and not a single vote was recorded against the bill, it be- Ing declared passed by & unanimous vote— 245 to 0.
