Bryan Reported Seeking Scalp of W. J. O’Brien Head of State Fish Hatchery for 30 Years Not Active Enough Politically—Ru tenbeck May Get Job. Special IMspalrh to The Omaha Be*. Lincoln, May IS.—W. J. O'Brien, for 30 years superintendent of the state fish hatchery at Gretna, has been ordered by Governor Bryan to live in the house provided by the state at Gretna and give up his resi dence at South Bend. The governor furthermore stated that in the future George G. Koster, slate fish and game warden, would be directly In charge of state hatcher ies, leated at Benkleman, Valentine and Gretna. In polictal circles, it is believed that the governor's action in ordering O'Brien to use the house provided by the state for the hatchery superin tendent is a first step toward oust ing O'Brien from his job. Ituienberk Wants Job. For weeks it has been known here that friends of Gu* Rutenbeck. chief state game warden under former Gov ernor Morehead, were working quiet ly and Insidiously to oust O'Brien and get the appointment for Rutenbeck. The story that O'Brien lived at South Bend across the Platte river from the hatchery and abandoned the home provided for him by the state has been circulated in state house circles for many days. Few expect that O'Brien will give up his jvivate home, which he built at South Rend, and return to the hatchery house, it is expected that as soon as he returns front Sioux fity, la., where he was called on bus K ss yesterday, and learns of the governor's order, lie will tender his resignation, unless the governor with- j draws his unltimatum. Records available at tile state house ■ show that O’Brien's action in building j s home at South Bend, a few miles ■ from the hatchery, has not detracted . from the efficiency of the hatchery, j Each yeor finds that propogation and distribution of fish from tile Gretna > hatchery has increased. Politician Is Wanted. However, numerous democratic poll- | ta-ians feel that while O'Brien knows ! more about fish and stocking of fish in streams than anyone in the state, he Isn't of much account in a political way, as all through his 30 years of public service O'Briea has worked steadily in increasing the numbers of) fish in Nebraska streams and has paid ! little attention to production of either ! democratic op republican votes. O'Brien and his brother founded the j state hatchery at Gretna. Hie brother is now in charge of the hatchery at Valentine. The two O'Briens prob ably have done more toward making J Nebraska a fishing state than any t other two men. The governor's statement followed ' action of the state auditor in with holding a claim granted O'Brien by lie legislature, which had been sane- J Joned by the governor. The claim ^^vas for *1.200 in hack pay which O'Brien asserts is coming to him. Legislature Granted Increase. Four years ago. the legislature in ' appropriating a salary for the super ntendent of the Gretna hatchery fixed the salary at *2.400 a year. Leo | stuhr, secretary of agriculture, under I whom O'Brien worked, refused to pay ) this amount and fixed O'Brien's c Salary at *2,100. This year, O'Brien went before the ; legislature committee on claims and ! 'old his story. An appropriation for ! Gretna Hatcheries Head Is Slated for Removal i Fish Commissioner “Bill” O’Brien, probably Ihe best known man in the stale anions sportsmen, who is reiwrted slated for removal by Governor Bryan. the $1,200 bark pay was the result, anti the governor signed the bill. Today, the governor asserted be didn't understand the clrcumtaances, when he approved the claim and inti mated he was willing to stand behind the state auditor in refusing to allow the claim. The governor did not state whether he intended to give Koster power to choose his own help at the hatcheries or whether he would dictate to Koster as to the personnel of hatchery em ployes.
