The footings | as made by Mr. Gordon gave Sioux City | & and Council Bluffs 345, where: the | | correct totals gave Council Bluffs 355. It | | l | | § | | | | 2 | was thcught poesible that Mr. Gordon had | arrived at his decision in faver of Sfoux | City by these footings and had this been | the caee his decision should have becn In ' faver of Council Bluffs. Mr. Gordon was reacked at the depot by telephone and sp- | Prised of the discrepancy. In a letter re- celved by Principal Ensign yesterday ever- | ing Superintendent Gordon stated that he regretted exceedingly the apparent mis- take, but In his haste to make his train he had not had time to correct any of hia figures.” His conclusion at the close of | the debate was that Sioux City should have the decision by a slight margin and ' | he hed 6o written on his report. In making | this explanation Superintendent Gordon { took the occasion to compliment Council | Bluffs on the excellent showing it made, | Principal Marshall of the Sioux City ' | High school before leaving for home yee- terday notified Principal Ensign that his school, under the clrcumstances, consider- | ing the closeness of the debate, could not accept the si'ver cup presented by Jacque- | jmin & Co. as the permarent trophy of the ! | school. The cup, he satd, would be a chal- | lengs trophy to become the property of { any High school winning it In debate three times In succession. N. Y.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oouncilmen and Citisen: Object to Fire and SAY IT WILL BRING USELESS EXPENSE Principle of Home Rule Also Fignres in Opposition pointed Ror otes from the Magle City. to Governor-Ap- South Omaha taxpayers seem to be divided as 1o the necessity for a fire and police board for this city. It is deemed absurd by many to have a board of five members appointed to govern less than three dozen | men. Councilmen Queenan, Broderick and | Joscph Murphy, J. J. Ryan, Thomas O'Con- nor and J. M. Tanner constituted a commit- tee which went to Lincoln lest week to protest against the appointment of such a board. Queenan said yesterday that all he objected to was the expense. He sald: | “In the first place, under the charter less than $100 a year would have to be pald office rent, $300; stationery and ps, $400, and miscellaneous expenses, making a total of $2,500. All this money will have to come out of the tax- payers and the people will not be benefited. At the present time the mayor handles the police and fire departments and it does not take much of his time, either. In the opinion of many citizens of South Omaha the appointment of a fire and police board for South Omaha is a useless expenditure ot money.” Continuing, Queenan sald that the money spent in salaries for an ornamental board could much better be spent in Improving the city's streets or in assisting people who are destitute. It is understood ttat there will be a lively fight made on the fire and police bill and also on the amend- ment to the charter which provides for the appointment of a fire and police board. Prominent citizens who were interviewed yesterday asserted that they belleved In home government and therefore could not see any reason why the governor of the state should take the government of the Magic City out of the hands of its duly elected officers. Wanting More Improvements. About sixty taxpayers in the southeast- ern portion of the city have organized a club and meetings are being held at Thir- teenth and Harrison streets. At the last meeting, held on Friddy, the secretary of the club was directed to send a notice to the mayor and eity council requesting more water hydrants, more electric lights and the extension of the street car stub line to the Sarpy county line. The members of this club, who reside in the diétrict east of Twentleth street and south of Wyman street, appear to think they are entitled to some improvements and they propose to do what they can to get them. Of course all of the members money on hand now to provide for the im- provements asked, but they desire that ar- rangements be mads at the next levy to set aside a little money for them. It will take an increased levy in the water and lighting funds to give to this portion of the city the improvements suggested, but some say the money will be well spent, | as this section of the city is growing rap- | 1aly. Those Sewer B In The Bee of Friday mention wa mlde‘ of the possibility of the proposition ofl voting $100,000 for sewer bonds and the inference w that these bonds, If voted, would aesist the corporations in bullding | a big sewer to the river. Members of the council say that this is not the intention. The money, If voted at all, is to be used | for the building of a sewer system in dif- | ferent parts of the city. The plans for new ewers have been mapped out and In these plans there is nothing to show that the money, If appropriated, will be used lo" essist the corporations in bullding an eight- foot sewer from Swift's to the river. The | present city officials say that if the stock | yards and pack'ng houses want a sewer they are able to bulld it themselves with- | out ald from the city. Magie City Gossip.

FORESTERS MUST SERVE TIME Brought Two for Commitment After Years' Fight Higher Conrta, Adam and John Forester of Niobrara were breught to Omaha yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal James Allan and will be committed to serve sentences imposed nearly two years ago by Judge Munger after conviction of selling liquor to Indians. | Adam Forester was sentenced to serve a year and a day at Sioux Falls penitentiary and John Forester to four months in the | Douglas county fail The case against these parties is pecullar from the fact that the litigation resulting was greater than h ever followed a trial on so trivial a charge in the federal court | of this district, baving reached the United | States supreme court before the judgment of Judge Munger could be enforced. Three lawyers were interested in rhe case from its inception. After their conviction the defendants employed other attorneys and took an appeal to the United States cireuit court of appeals. This court confirmed the opinion of Judge Munger. Another lawyer | took the case to the United States supreme court, where he attempted to secure a writ of certiorari, which was denied. He then made an appeal, for a writ of habeas corpus, which was not prosecuted, and now, upon the mandate of the circuit court, the de- fendants are to be committed to prison. FISH REJECTS STATE CONTROL Ilinois Central OMelial Thinks Com- mercial Transportation Routes Were White Elephan NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The second annual dinner of the frelght agents of the great shippers and transportation lices of the United States and Canada was held to- night at the Arkwright club. Vice President Burns D. Caldwell of the Lackawanna presided and read a letter of regret from Secretary Cortelyou on behalf of President Roosevelt and one from Sen- ator Depew. President Stuyvesant Fish of the INli- nois Central spoke of the freight traffic of a rallroad as being its most important source of revenue and facetiously referred to the passenger service as “the dress parade.” Mr. Fish attacked government ownership of rallroads, comparing his own line with the Illinois and Michigan canal. He sald the state of Illinois controlled and owned the canal and lost $100,000 yearly through its operation. On the other hand, the Illi- nols Central was putting $942,000 yearly into its treasury. “If these figures might go to Albany,” he added, “I think the state of New York might benefit by the experience of Illinois in conducting its own canals.” OIL MAGNATE TO AID MEDICINE Will Give New York ution for Original Rockefeller Finest Research in Country.

It 1s & matter of comment in official cfr- cles here that perhaps without intending it, Germans are alding the Veneruelan rev lutionists in refusing to return at once President Castro’s ships. Word bas been received here that the German commander has informed the Venesuelan government that the ships will be turned over to it at Port of Spain on Monday afternoon. Meantime the revolutionists are import- ing large supplies of arms and ammunition into Coro and other unguarded ports. Pree- ident Castro has no navy to prevent this and Is therefore becoming restive at Ger- many’s conduct. It has not been decided whether the United States, in the event of President Castro again declaring a block- ade of the Orinoco, will recognize it as effective. This matter has been a subject of com- munication between the United States min- ister at Caracas and the officials here, but the matter will probably not be decided un- til Mr. Bowen returns to Venezuela.

LONDON, Feb. 2L—A dispatch to the Times from Ottawa declares that Canada has formally protested to the tmperial government against the appointment of Senators Lodge and Turner en the Alaskan commissfon. The forelgn office, which has received no officlal protest, is, however, unofficially aware of the fact that the Canadians are dissatisfied with the appointments, but the officials here do not see how they can take any action in the matter. The Spectator, discussing the American appointees, says “Secretary Root is unquestionably one of the ablest men alive today in the Anglo- Saxon world of politics. Senator Lodge is also a man of great weight and influence, and s a worthy representative of the best traditions of the senate, a delibera body which for the direct powers it ex- ercises has no fellow in the world. Continuing, the Spectator expresses the hope that the British representatives will not only be men of equal Intelletual powers, but also of equal standing before | the nation.
