LIQUOR LICENSE NOTICES IN QUESTION Itcunlnllnit tor Hxlilltlt of ClrciilnUonn llclcntcil l > r Itcform Trio AcconlltiR to 1'rcnrrniiKCd I'lot , , ' The nonpartl an reform members of the "Board of Flro and Police Commissioners gave on example last night , ot partisanship for the furtherance of selfish cc'1 end the pay ment of political debts , The partisanship ot tbo board could not have been more op- ' parent -than when the question regarding the proper medium for the advertisement ot liquor HCCMO notices for the coming year arose. It Is the reading ot the law that tbo advertisements tiiall bo Inserted In the paper liavlng the largest circulation In the county. _ lAs a means ot determining- what paper was legally entitled to the notices nnd to prevent costly mistakes by tlio liquor dealers tbo following resolution was Introduced by Mayor Moorcs : Whereis , The law governing the sale of malt , spirituous nnd vinous liquors requires that each applicant ( or license * to sell such liquors ndveitlso In the paper of largest circulation In the county his notice of ap plication for HUcli license for a period of two weeks ; nnd , Whcrcns , For the last few years there has been much controversy between the different newspapers In this city us to which wan the proper paper In which wild notices were to bo published , causing n great deal of annoyance nnd loss of tlmo to the license board ns well ns to the appli cants for licenses ; therefore , bo It Ilesolved , That for the- purpose of ending such controversy and loss of time the dif ferent publishers of this county be Invited by this board to furnish statements under oath of Iho circulation ot each separate edition of their newspapers ; said state ments to bo addressed to this board and delivered to tliu clerk no later than De cember C , tit 5 o'clock p. m. ; said state ments to cover only the actual paid circu lation In Douglas county for a period of three months ending November 30 , 1S97 , these statements to be given to the clerk of this board for the guidance of appli cants. This effort to deal with till In an Impartial manner met with scant consideration at the bands of the reform board. It was ot once evident that the majority had no Intention ot acting In the matter with any pretense ot fairness. In splto of the express words of the law that licenses shall ariiear In the paper of largest circulation the sa-called uon- partltan appointees of Governor Holcotnb at tempted -to declare the World-Herald to ho entitled to the publication ot thcso notices without any testimony whatever as to Its circulation. Mayor Moorcs1 resolution was voted down by Commissioners Ilerdman , Gregory and Pcabody Dullard being absent. The foreordained purpose of the board In Btlppresslng fair play was cirphaslzod In n resolution offered by Commissioner Ilerdman and affirmed by his two associates In the last previous vote , as follows : Ilesolved , That liquor dealers are hereby ndvlsed that under the law they should publish thulr notices In the newspaper of largest circulation In Douglas county for two weeks nnd that these publications ( should be completed before the expiration of their presiMit licenses. If possible. Resolved , That this board will abide by nnd recognlzo the decision of the boaid jnado upon January 3 , 1S9S , wherein , utter nn Investigation , It was found that the dally World-Herald was the paper of larg est circulation In Douglas county until the further order of this board. Mayor 'Moores protested against accepting any circulation statement mads two years ago as holding good at present. The law , bo said , contemplated the publication ot no tices In" the paper having the largest cir culation at the tlmo ot publication nnd It made no difference whatever what might Jiavo been the circulation of any paper two years ago. Mayor Moorcs' vote , however , was the only ono recoided against the Herd- man resolution. MERCHANDISE SLOT MACHINES. In wcard to the Inclusion of merchandise slot machines In the order for their gen eral suppression the chief ot pollco sub mitted Instructions which ho had received from Mayor Moorcs. It had been generally felt thai an Injustice was done In abolish ing machines which \\ero merely automatic .vendors . and In the operation of which the clement of chancs did not enter. The chief , Jn his Interpretation of the order Issued previously , had Included them In the gen eral abolition or the machines. The mayor's Instructions made an exception In thelr re gard and his view was upheld by the en dorsement ot the board. The mayor's order Svaa addressed to Hon. C. V. Gallagher , chief of police , and was as follows : I am Informed tlmt you have construed thd action of thu IJoard of Fire and Pollco Commissioners nt t'ho last rr.eellnp In ref erence to "nlckol-In-the-slot" machines ns including all slot machines which do not Imvo any element of chance about them nntl that under such construction you Imvo Included telephone ) Instruments , music boxes and automatic sales boxes which have slot attachments , but which deliver each tlmo to t'ne customer a cer tain definite value , nnd that you have ordered the police to rqmovc them. Any slot machine which does not Involve the element of chance Is a legitimate en terprise , nnd tbo Hoard of Flro nnd Police Commissioners lias no more power to order them removed than It would to order n business enterprise to run without clerks , 'Any Interfering with such machines would certainly render the otllcer so doing liable for any damage resulting from such illegal action. You will therefore direct the pollco to re move only such , "nlckel-ln-the-slot" - - - ma- chlneB as nro gambling devices nnd Into .which the clement ) of chance enters. A resolution of endorsement was passed directing the chief ot pollco not to Interfere ( with any islet machine , In which there ia no clement of chance. The quarrel In engine house No. 3 was then brought up before the board for adjustment. The- facts disclosed that Lieutenant Frank Urban had lost his temper regarding the proper fuel for the company steve and" had Insulted and areaultod Captain Taylor. IA number ot firemen stationed In the house testified to the Improper conduct of the lieu tenant and the board reduced him to the ranks , Uio action to take effect at once. F'ivo days' pay wore deducted from Iho salary of Driver Sldncr , cnglno company No. 3 , for driving down Eighteenth street north from Dodge , a route against the runes ot the com pany.

IL. ( Marlln of Fremont responded gracefully from the floor. Tlio program for the day was presented by the department of social science , Mrs. Ella 1) ) , Pcrlno leader. This department Is making a study of municipal government this year , using , with some modifications , the outline prepared by IMrs. W. L. O. Tay lor of the State university. 'Mrs. ' Hchlaender stated that the course of study In municipal government In her club hid at first Included the consideration of the government of Eng lish and continental cities , and that having learned what hnd been done and what It was possible to do , the next concern of the clars had been to know what the good gov ernment and the civic clubs In the United States had accomplished , especially In Phll- adclphh , Chicago and Denver. After three years of this study the club felt moved to put some of Its knowledge Into practice and the City Improvement society was organized. This association docs not define the limits of Its work by a constitu tion and It holds Itself free to co-operato with the olllclals In anything they may undertake for the benefit of the city , seek ing , meanwhile , a bettor understanding and appreciation of any movement to that end that may be contemplated. Mts. RchlacnJcr slid that the efforts of the committees on streets and alleys1 , health , bill boards , etc. , had been warmly commended by the olllclals , notably by the health commissioners , \\4io had publicly stated that the Insistence of the women upon general cleanliness , and espe cially upon the enforcement of the garbage ordinance , had brought about the best sani tary conditions Lincoln had over enjoyed. Tue society stands also for the Improvement ot school grounds , and a patroness with her as sistants plants trees , fills window boxes , makes flower beds and beautifies In her own wuy the surroundings of each school building. OTHER TOPICS. The other address of the day was by Mrs. Towne. president of the Visiting Nurr.es' as- eoclatlon. who described the work of that as sociation under four divisions , namely : What ho have tried to do ; what wo have tried to avoid ; our difficulties , aail our Ideal. Mrs. Towno spoke ol' the comfort and Instruction given ; of the effort to give assistance only where It could not bo otherwise secured ; of the effort required to provide nurses , medl- clno and food suitable to the sick , and of the htoo that a membership of 1,000 would Eosn. by its annual fees of $1 each , put the association where there need be no further anxiety about funds to carry on the work. The program lacluded two pipers. One by Mrs. Delden , entitled "Somo Municipal Ex periments , " described certain methods In use In European cities which might well bo adopted elsewhere. The police system ot Paris and the sewage system of Berlin and Glasgow were cited s examples. Mrs. Del- den's picture of a city , clean , beautiful and convenient , with municipal ownership of gas , water and strpct transit , acid withal , with lower taxes than Omaha enjoys today , made every woman echo the closing words of the rpeakor : "May I bo there to see. " The otlior paper was a resume of the philanthropic work of the club by Mrs. Hoobler , and It was a sufficient answer tD the criticism that Is sometimes made that the club exists for Itself alone. Mention was made of various efforts to secure municipal and legislative action In the direction of reform , of classes conducted la cooking and other branches and nf the work at the railroad station main tained by the club and conducted by Miss northa Burket. The program wan opened and closed by Miss Sadie Bowen , who sang "Florlan's Song" by Goddard and "Far Away" by Chadwlck. T. C. Hadlcy , a new comer , was also heard in the "Torreador's Song" from Carmen. He has a fine baritone volco and his staging was very cordially received. He responded to hla encore by "Marguerite.

AMUSEMENTS. That Flo Irwln Is not so well known In the west 'as her sister , May , 'Is not the re sult of any artistic Inferiority , but a conse- sequence of her prolonged absence from this part of the country. She was last seen In Omaha half n dozen years ago , when she and May together were the. bright rartlcul'ir ' stara of a farce comedy company which played "Boys and Girls" at the old Boyd , and which Included Otis Harlan and others of note. The two sisters are not unllko In appear ance and their style is very similar. Some who object to May's largeness of method find In Flo a greater dclloicy and refine ment. Flo has won equal fame with May tu tlio singing of 'the "coon" songs which are now so popular , and Is especially well qualified to take up the title role In "Tho Widow Jones" whcro her Jolly sister left It ofr. ofr.Flo Flo Irwln will appear In "Tho Widow Jones" at the CrelRhton , beginning on Taurs- day cvcnlug of this week.
