Syndicate Park Will Go Further.
WILL TEST THE QUESTION OF TIRE
HoTOinont to llnvo the Turk Thrown Opm
M UeloiiBlng to the I'ubllo Humor
that n Jlrewery Is to
HIITO It.
The disposition of Spring Lake park con-
tlnucs to be the all absorbing topic of many
of the prominent people of South Omaha and
the property owners In the vicinity of the
park. The latest report Is that the park Is
to pass Into the hanJa of a brewing company ,
and that the natural park , with all of Its
rugged bsauty , will soon be converted to the
uses of a beer garden. This causes Indigna
tion.
It has been known for several years that
the South Omaha Land company was desirous
of disposing of the park to the city of South
Omaha , and when Mr. Johnston , the agent of
tbo land company , made" his race for mayor
on the last two occasions , this proposition
figured more or less in both campaigns , In the
first of which he was defeated. After the
last city election , which terminated In the
success of Mr. Johnston , very llttlo was
heard of the pqrk question until the 19th of
this month , when the council met and ordt
nanco C29 was suddenly sprung before Its
members without any previous Instructions to
the city attorney by the council ordering him
to draft an ordinance for the purpose of
placing the question of voting bonds for the
purchase of a park before the citizens of
South Omaha. During the session of the last
legislature , when the changes were being
made In the charters of the cities of the first-
class , the way was paved for submitting the
question to the people of a city of the flrst-
: lass to Issue bonds for the purchase of park-i ,
ind U Is claimed that this was accomplished
by the efforts of the lobbyists from South
Omaha.
Ordinance G29 , containing the bond proposi
tion , was Deferred to the committee , reported
favorably and passed all lu the same evenIng -
Ing , without giving the citizens of South
Omaha , who wore opposed to It , any oppor
tunity to make a fight against It. Within a
few days a strong opposition was organized
ind considerable money was subscribed to de
feat the proposition. The opposition devel
oped rapidly and grew to such proportion !
that It became evident that to try to carr >
the question would bo a needless expenditure
of money without any results , and accordingly
the ordinance was repelled at the meeting
held Wednesday evening last.
WILL TEST TITLE QUESTION.
The repeal of the ordinance has not satis
fied the opposition which was developed Im
mediately after the pisrage of the ord'nance
ind the members and subscribers to the fund
to bo used to defeat the proposition are con
tinuing right along In the line mapped out ,
and most of the money subicrlbed has been
collected within the past two days , and will
bo used In an endeavor to have the park
thrown open to the public. It was decided a
few days ago to await the opinion of the
ittorueys retained by the opposition , but
since It Is rumored that the pirk la to be
converted Into a beer garden , another form
of procedure Is 'developing. A movement
was started yesterday afternoon , which wis
vigorously advocated by a number of the
opposition. The proposition advanced now is
the outcome of the rumored deal to make a
beer garden out of the park , and those who
ire working to defeat It are. . advocating the
Idea of Immediately proceeding against the
South Omaha Land company and enjoining
It from making the transfer , and In this
way brlfig up the question of title Immedl-
itely , Members of the cppcslMon itite thit
It hag been the Intention to settle the quei-
tlon. whether the park thill remain a public
resort or not , but that the present rumor
T Kill necessitate quick action.
fl It U UU'd on jfood authority that had
the bond proposition met with no opposition ,
eighty-four acres of land would have been
sold to the city for $60,000 , and the remain
ing $5,000 would have been expended In
Beautifying the park. It Is also stated that
It was the Intention of the land company to
give to the city block 161 , to be used for a
High school site , but this proposition was
not made public.
WILL FIGHT DEER GARDEN PLAN.
Since the rumored deal between the brewIng -
Ing company and the land syndicate , the
property owners and residents In the vi
cinity of the park nre wrought up to a high
tension. A number of the owners of prop
erty adjoining the park were Been , and
several of them stated that they were bit
terly opposed to any such transaction , and
would do all In their power to defeat a deal
of that kind. They claim that If they are
unable to establish the title of the city to
the park and the brewing company should
gain possession of the park , they will make
It very disagreeable for the brewers In case
It Is made a beer garden , and that they will
spend half of what their property Is worth
or all of It , If necessary , to keep a saloon
license from being granted for a saloon In
the park. It Is also claimed that a beer
garden would not pay without Sunday pa
tronage , and this can easily bo prevented , as
It would bo contrary to the Slocum law. One
of the property owners exhibited to a re
porter two of the South Omaha Land com
pany's maps of different dates , and claimed
that It had been the Intention of the com
pany or Its agents to deceive the people wfib
bought lots In the vicinity of the park. He
explained that the first map was printed
In 18SS , and the existence of the park was
plainly shown on It and was designated as
Spring Lake park , which , In many cases , had
been the means of selling much of the prop
erty In the blocks adjoining the park , and
that It had been the means of Inducing him
to buy a lot adjoining the park. On the re
cently printed map ho explained that the
plot of ground known as Spring Lake park
had been left a blank , and was not shown as
a park , and Indignantly stated that the com
pany had disposed of nearly nil the lots In
that vicinity and was now trying to inaXe It
appear that the park was not Intended to bo
perpetual.
A number of the councllmen wcro seen In
regard to their Idea of allowing a beer gar
den to bo run In the park In case a transfer
were made for that purpose , and three of
them expressed themselves as opposed to
anything of that kind being done. Others
would not express themselves on the ques
tion. This leaves the question In doubt
whether a saloon license would be granted
to the brewers In case they should obtain
possession of the park.
MAYOR JOHNSTON TALKS.
Mr. Johnston was asked If there was any
truth In the rumor that the park was to bo
disposed of to private Individuals. He
neither confirmed nor'denled the rumor , but
stated that if such a transfer was to be made
he was not aware of It , but It might be pos-
sblo : that the land company had such a deal
on hand without his knowledge. In express
ing himself on the proposition of the oppo
sition to test the question of the uses to
which the park could be put and the validity
of the title , Mr. Johnston said that It would
suit the company to have the case decided by
the courts , and that In his opln'on there
could be but one opinion rendered , and that
would be In favor of the land company. He
also stated , to substantiate his opinion , that
the property known as Spring Lake park
had always been assessed to the company ,
and that the taxes had been paid when due
each year. This he claimed would In Itself
decide the question favorable to the com
pany.
It was learned from reliable sources that a
brewing company tried to lease the park from
the land company a year ago , and the deal
was all but consummated , nut was not car
ried to the point of leasing. U was to have
been used as a beer garden at that time.
When the city of South Omaha was laid out
and the city lots were staked off the original
plan did not take In what Is known as Spring
Lake park. A few years afterward , when
new additions were being added to the orig
inal plat , It was seen that It would be next
to Impossible to make residence property out
of a portion of the land lying east of Twen
ty-second street and north of G street. Nature -
turo made the spot beautiful In Its rugged
wlldness , with Us stately oaks and deep ra
vines and Its abundant supply of crystal
waters which flowed from numerous springs.
FAVORITE OUTING PLACE.
As soon as South Omaha began to grow the
people began to use the woods as a park In
the summer , and a Urge portion of the popu
lation visited It each Sunday and many days
through the week Its refreshing shadows
were sought. It was early named Snydlcate
park , and It Is much oftcner referred to by
this name at the present time than by the
name which designates Its position on the
maps of South Omaha. In 1SS5 at the south
ern limit of the park a dam was built across
tire ravine , and the water thus hold furnished
the supply of water for hie city during Its
Infancy. A pumping station was built at
this point and did service until the spring
of 1889 , when It was torn down by the watsr
works company , which hnd completed Its
system to South Omaha In the fall.
The park was laid out In 18S7 and the two
following years many Improvements were
added In the way of lakes and grading
driveways. It Is claimed that { 35,000 was
expended In this way , and the property In
that vicinity rapidly Increased In value. The
citizens often referred to Syndicate park
with pride and claimed It to be the best In
this part of the country.
Three years ago , while the park commis
sion of Omaha was casting about for suit
able park sites , the land company conceived
the Idea of disposing of Spring Lake park
and offered It for $05,000 , but this offer was
refused by the park commissioners , and It
Is claimed that a prominent attorney at that
time gave It as his opinion that It was al
ready a park and It was not necessary to
purchase It. Following this , tn the spring of
1893. the land company fenced In fifty acres
of the park with a tight board fence and re
fused to allow the public access to the
grounds without a special permit. It was
occasionally used by picnic parties and pri
vate parties , and during a portion of last
yrar It was thrown open to the public on
Sundays , but this has bjen discontinued.
The fenced fifty acres Is the part which It Is
claimed will bo disposed of to the brewing
company.

BOLLN EXPECTED TO STEP OUT
Probable that His Eesignation Will Bo Before -
fore Oity Oonnoil Tuesday Night.
SAYS HE IS WILLING TO LEAVE THE OFFICE
Blcot with Ills Ilomlamcn Tomorrow
Morning XVIioa the flutter Will Ho
Decided He Tells How the Duo
Hill Process IH-gitn.
It Is more than probable that at the meet
ing of the council to tie held next Tuesday
night the resignation cf City Treasurer
Dolln will be presented for the consideration
of that body.
Tomorrow morning Mr. Dolln and his bonds
men will ho'.d a meeting , at which It will bo
decided what course he will pursue In the
premises.
Last night Mr. Dolln was seen with ref
erence to tendering his resignation , and at
that tlmo ho volunteered the information
that ho was In the hands of his bondsmen.
"I have not talked with all of my bonds
men , " said Mr. Dolln. "Somo of them , I
understand , want me to resign , while others
want mo to continue In office and pay up
the shortage , If any , out of the salary which
I would receive during the balance of my
term. Tomorrow morning all of the bonds
men will meet , and I will bo with them.
At that time wo will consider what Is best
to do for the Interests of all concerned. I
want it distinctly understood that It they
conclude that I should resign I will get out
of the office. "
When asked what he would do In the event
that the council demanded his resignation ,
Mr. Dolln said : "If It Is the desire of the
council that I resign , I will willingly step
out , as I have no desire to stand In the way.
I don't think , however , that the council will
ask me to resign , as several of the members
have met me and advised me to continue to
servo out the balance of jny term. Some of
the members may Wan , me to resign , but
there are others who.uavo advised me to re
main. " , . , .
Going Into the questions pertaining to the
shortage in the olllcu , Mr. Dolln stated that
he was of the oplnloa that when the experts
had concluded their laWs , It wouU' ' be found
that he did not owe. thp city so largo an
amount of money a.s jiacj been stated. There
were some duo bills n the cash drawer of
the office last Monday. 'Ic , Dolln said , but all
of them had been tal anup and money sub
stituted for the paper , . , , i
GENESIS OF THJi'DUE DILLS.
Talking upon the Ub1tt of the due bills
and how they happened'to ' bd In the place of
city cash In the cash drawer of the office , Mr.
Dolln divulged some'.Information that has
never before been maW 'public. ' He stated
that during the first ] nbntli1of his Incumbency ,
C. L. Chaffee , who was'ttirti a member of tbo
city council , called at'tlib 6rfico and asked for
a month's salary In advance. "I refused to
let him have the money , " added Mr. Dolln ,
"but It was not long before other councllmen
came with the same request. For a time I
refuse ! to advance any money , tut eventually
I broke over. I Knew that It w as wrong , though
I could not see what harm could como from
letting men have money when I knew that
the salaries would be duo them In a few
weeks. "
Here It was suggested that one councilman
had drawn sufficient money to cover the
salary of his office for more than a year
after his term would exjilre , Mr. Dolln ad
mitted that this was true , and added that
he knew that It was wrong , "but how could
I stop after I had commenced the plan ? "
he continued.
"Were there others than councllmen who
drew money from the city treasury without
authority of law ? " was asked.
"Sometimes I accommodated the city of
ficials , " continued the treasurer , "and at In
tervals all of them have drawn their salaries
In advance and before they were earned.
They simply came to me and said that they
wanted the money and I paid It over , taking
: ho warrants when they were allowed and
charging cash with the money paid. "
ALWAYS WILLING TO BE CHECKED UP.
Mr. Bolln denied that he had ever refused
Comptroller Olson an examination of the
books. He said that the books were always
open to the comptroller , and that ho had al
ways been at liberty to go through them and
find the exact condition of the city's finances.
Mr. Bolln did not think that there had
lieen any studied plan to loot the treasury.
In fact , he did not think that a dollar had
jeen embezzled by himself , or the employes
it the office , though the deputy had always
iiad access to the cash drawer , and had been
allowed to take out cash and substitute his
due bills.
Asked If cash could not have been taken out
without the substitution of duo bills , Mr.
Bolln admitted that such a course would
have been possible , but ho did not think that
anything of the kind had been done.
Returning to the subject of cash repre
sented by due bills which took the place
of the cash Mr. Dolln said that he could not
estimate the amount. One month It might
be only a few hundred dollars , while the next
month It might reach up Into the thousands.
These due bills , Mr. Dolln said , were carried
along on the books as cash on hand , and ap
peared as the receipts of the office.
The delay In making public definite In-
DISPLEASES THE TAXPAYERS ,
formation In regard to the condition of City
Treasurer Dolln's affairs Is beginning to bo
the subject of a good deal of criticism among
business men. The Impression Is becoming
prevalent that the delay means that there
Is to bo a determined effort made to white
wash over the real situation and cover up
the true state of affairs.
The reticence of Comptroller Olsen and
others who are concerned In the Investiga
tion Is explained by them In the contention
that the least that Is said about the matter
the better for all concerned. They do not
hesitate to say * that the matter should be
hushed up as far as possible , but this view
Is not endorsed by the taxpayers , who have
an Interest In knowing the exact condition
of affairs.
One of the men who pays taxes on several
largo blocks of down-town property said
yesterday that the secrecy which was
being observed with regard to the Hltuatlon
was something unprecedented. In his experi
ence. If there were any who had. a right
to know at th earliest inisslble moment how
serious this situation was , It was the tax
payers and citizens who had elected Dolln
to olllce , and to whom he was responsible for
his conduct of the public affairs. "If 1 had
a man In my employ , " he continued , "who
was In any degree under suspicion I would
certainly lose no time In settling the matter
one way or the other. I cannot understand
why the people have not an equal right to
know Just what Is being developed by the
Investigation , So far as the statement that
It will be better to keep the matter quiet Is
concerned , I cannot see who will profit by
such a policy. To a man up a tree. It looks
as though the gauzy plea for the Interests
of the city were being used as a cloak for
the purpose of fixing up the matter and
serving the Interests of those who are tryIng -
Ing to afford Mr. Dolln an opportunity to
serve out his term.
"There Is one other point , " continued the
taxpayer , "that seems remarkable to me. I
was assured by one of Mr. Dolln's friends
yesterday that while Mr. Dolln would re
main In the office the Interests of the tax
payers would be protected by keeping Mr.
Suobe or some other of the bondsmen In
the ofllco as a sort of trustee to see that
the business was done In a business like
manner. Now this Is to me an un
precedented proposition. To put an overseer
In the office would be to Indicate that Mr.
Dolln was not flt to be trusted. If that was
the case , then the taxpayers certainly have
a right to Insist that he shall be superseded
by Bonie one who will not require to be
watched. It my cashier were short In his ac
counts , would I continue him In my employ
by simply hiring another man to stand be
side htm and see that ho did right In the
future ? Such a proposition Is ridiculous and
It ls equally ridiculous In the present case ? "
Comptroller Olsen stated yesterday that
ho would In all probability keep the result
of his Investigation to himself until It was
presented to the council. He had received
no Instructions from the council to make
any Investigation , but was simply acting on
the resolution of the Hoard of Education ,
which was passed Monday night. Dut nev
ertheless , tie would take 11 upon himself to
,
make a full report to the council at the
first meeting.
It Is getting to be n sort of conundrum as
to how far this report will go. Mr. Olsen
was asked If his report would include a list
of the amounts which had been advanced to
various persons out of the municipal treasury
of which the shortage Is claimed to largely
consist. Ho replied that that was none of
his business. If the treasurer had loaned
money to anyone that was Bolln's personal
affair and he had no right to Inquire Into It.
Ho wp5i there to examine the books , but the
cash was In the custody of the treasurer and
his bondsmen.
The comptroller was then asked what pur
pose , was to be served by making an Investi
gation since It was claimed that It was the
cash and not the books that was wrong ,
Ho considered a minute and then opined that
If he wanted to see the cash accounts he
guessed Mr. Swobe would let him look at
them , but ho did not know whether they
would enter Into his report or not.
Mr. Swobo's statement did not altogether
agree with that of the comptroller. He said
that the full list of the tickets found In the
drawer Indicating the amounts which had
been advanced to various persons was In the
hands of the comptroller and It was his ex
pectation that they would all be Included In
the treasurer's report.

The Interdenominational conference of the
Sunday schools of Omaha and vicinity opened
ts session by holding a meeting last evening
n Kountzo Memorial church. The conference
ivlll continue today and tomorrow , closing
with a mass meeting In Y. M. C. A. hall.
Rev. Frank Crane presided last evening
and Introduced Prof. H. M. Hamlll of Illi
nois , who has devoted his tlmo for the past
ten years to Sunday school work In several
parts of the country.
Ho said he had noted In all parts of the
LJnlted States an enthusiasm to do better
Sunday school work. Ho has found that the
> astora are more anxious than ever to give
their teachers the advantages of normal
work. The chinches In their arrangement !
are built for meeting the wants of the chil
dren as far as possible. Communities , too ,
show a similar disposition toward the Sunday
school pupils , and believe them to bo the
salvation of the nation. There Is need of or
ganizing for Sunday school work. The most
efficient Sunday school workers are thosu
who have Joined efforts with some Interde
nominational conference.
Prof. Hamlll spoke of the necessity for
moro bible study and showed the need of hav
ing the teacher admonished not to depend too
much on the modern "helps" Instead of be
coming directly acquainted with the bible.
To most teachers their Sunday school work U
a moro Incident In their lives , but they are
always anxious to learn , he said.
Co-operation was laid down as the first
principle which the teacher must adopt.
The teacher must know what ho Is teaching
and the pupil must be Interested. Sunday
school workers must have a better Idea of
the bible and they must know something of
the Sunday school and Its history , Just as
the secular teachers do of their schools. Tha
teacher should have definite alms and seek
to be thorough. Pupils are lee apt to get
only general views of the bible. "Drill the
whole school In the fundamental facts.
Arouse the mind of the scholar and get him
to study the bible In course. "
The great aim of all Sunday school work ,
the speaker said In conclusion , should be to
impress the heart and conscience- the
pupil.
The committee In charge of the conven
tion consists of Revs. S. Wright Duller ,
Frank Crane , S. D. McCormlck and D. D.
Odd ! .
This morning Prof. Hamlll will preach at
St , Mary's Avenue Congregational church.
This afternoon Sunday school questions will
bo discussed at the First Presbyterian
church , the meeting opening at 3 o'clock.
This evening Prof. Hamlll will address a
Sunday school mass meeting at the First
Methodist church.
