Tbo evidence In the Droatcb-Mooreo case
was practically completed jcsterday forenoon
and the afternoon was occupied by the artju-
mentts of counsel. Otio of the wlttictsrea
called by Mr. llroatch'fi attorneja proved to
bo a Oral-class wltnes-i fur the other side.
This Mas Hen I ) , Wood , whj was called to
testify In regard to the business rt'Utlona ot
Mayor .Moor s with the Merchants' National
bank , The purpose < J to impeach the evi
dence offered by the mayor in relation 'o

Ion and about tbe flm dUcovery that was
tuaJo uuu the fact that Mayor Moorcn had
one deposit ot 14.300 In the bank on January
3. 1SOG , which ho luJ forgotten all about and
had not Included In lila schedule of property ,
The wltncus was very promptly cxcuacd.
County Attorney Daldrlge vvus railed
and questioned 1 < 1 regard to hU
transactions with Ma > or Moored with regard
to the Wclleliz flue. lie testified that be had
never to hU knowledge directed Mr. Moores
to hold the money. He stated , however , that
uhcn Assistant City Attorney Cornish had
made a demand forthe money he bad told
Mr. Mooves nut to pay It to the city , ae the
county would hold dim responsible for the
amount. lie testified that Mr. Wharton bad
asked him for a statement of the fines and
penalties claimed by the county wben the
matter first came Into controversy and had
aestred bin. that as noon as the ( statement
could bo checked up Mr. Mcores would at
once ray the amotnt If It was found to be
correct.
John Li. Kennedy was called to ( eitlfy in
regard to the certlfiej check for $ S,200 al-
Icged to have betn cVpmltcd In the Mer
chants' National bank to co\r the amount
In the herds of Mr. Moores on account of the
i case of Fairbanks ! , Morse & Co. aKalr.U Wei-
I ibms He slated that he bad supposed that
I Mr Moorcij had depculled ( be amount In the '
b.i k , but he afterward found that this ua
no' the cce.t. He had. called t&f matter to
{ ino altcntlm ot Mr Moorea and the latter 1
made the dffoilt ta requested , Thla waa I

consumed In offering parts of exhibits pre
viously Introduced In order to avoid the ne
cessity of Including the entire exhibits In
the records
The hearing was adjourned to the county
court room In the afternoon , where Attor
ney Wright occupied nearly the entire ses
sion with his opening argument. This fol
lowed the lines outlined during the prevJouii
procedure. Ho labored with particular vigor
to convince the referee that the fact that
.Moores had sudlclent properly to meet any
difference that might remain In favor of
the county after the accounts had been
checked , up did not count anything In his
favor. Jle contended that the bare fact that
ho had not paid over before leaving the
otllce all that the county ctalmeil was suf
ficient to Indicate an Intent to defraud. The
argument of John C. Wharton for Mr.
M cores will be beard this afternoon.
In CurfiMV Orilliiuni-p.
Judging from the number of communica
tions received by Mayor Moores , a lot of the
smaller eastern cities have become afflicted
with a regular contagion of curfew legisla
tion. The epidemic seems to be moat preva
lent In 1'ennsylvanla and soutbern Indiana
and Ohio. Kvery mall that come * to the city
ball contain * a number ot letter * from tbuo
localities In which the mayor Is asked for
Information In rcgaril to the success or
failure of the curfew law , which was passed
by the clt/ council ladt year. The mayor
Is cssurlng all Inquiries that the law baa
been a spectacular farceIn : Omaha , although
It might bo adapted ta the situations In
smaller towns. ' i

There Is already a acBly developing op
position to the resolution that wa Intro
duced at the last met'tfag ' of the Doaru of
Education which.provides that all the grades
shall bo , closed May 27 { Tbo principals of
* "
a number of the "largest , echools ateert that
If two weeks Is dropped' from tbo school
year the eighth grade will not be able to
complete Its co-jr/e and. past tbo examina
tion for entrance to the High school.
Theie 1 also some opposition on the score
of an alleged blow to the' prospects for the
TransmlesUiflppI Educational congress ,
which Is to be held In Omaha during the
last week of June. It Is urged that If the
schools are doted at tpp' cud of May , the
teachers would be compelled to remain here
an entire month In order io be present at the
congress , and assist In the preliminary ar
rangements. H Is contended that the as
sistance of tbe tcacherv U neceasary to carry
the rntvrprlie ( Q a successful conclusion ,
and that it the tcboals are closed a the
resolution contemplate * the bulk of them
would bo compelled to leave the city before
the congress convenes. While the members
of tbe board are not willing to spend $15-
000 for the additional two weeks merely In
order to accommodate the congress It IB
quite urgently suggested that In view of
the situation of the eighth grade clashee It
might be advisable to complete the year
and then cut two weeks from ( ho begin
ning of the next year If It should be neces
sary. It Is declared that If this was done
the teachers would know what they had
to expect and with the two weeks lost at the
beginning of tbe year Ihe course of study
could be arranged to make up the los-t time
during the year.

There are a number of rcr.satlonal rumuri
floating around the city In regard to tbo
condition of the Omaha High school building.
Then/liave circulated pretty freely among
the people who have children In tbe school
and a number of anxious Inquiries have teen
addressed to members of the Hoard it
Education. It h alleged that the structure
shakes to Its foundations under the tramping
of a room full of pupils and that the iloor
ot th room occupied by the commercial de
partment is perceptibly settling.
It Is officially stated tnat there ls absolutely
no foundation for tbeoe reports. Tbe build
ing was thoroughly Inspected tome time Ago
by a committee of architects at the In
stance cf the board and last year a com-
mlttcs of the board also made another critical
examination of the entire building. The
members now assert that while ( hp building
has certainly become Inadequate to the
necessities of ( he city , It U far from being
In a dangerous condition and will be per
fectly safe fc/r several years to come. It Is
admitted that there Is a perceptible quiverIng -
Ing of the upper flours , but It Is contended
that this Is the ease In nearly every large
building In the pity. The depression In the
floor of the commercial department has
existed for nfteen years. This floor Is supported -
ported by suspension trusses and years ago
tbe depression was caused by a slight settling
of adjacent parts of the building. The Iloor
new reals solidly on the trusses and it Is
emphatically asserted that there Is not the
slightest danger of any further settling ,
The members ot the board unite In assuring
the patrons of the school that there Is no
reason for alarm and that in cate there wo a
any foundation for the rumors Inclrculatlon
the board would have taken jororupt action , i

Only one proposition wiis received yesterday
morning to furnish the city with temporary
Jail quarters. This was from George I' .
Ilemls a ? agent for the owners of tbi > Klk-
horn Vul'ey ' house at Eleventh and Paige
streets. Ho proposed to put In a heating
plant and heat the building and rent It for
from one to five years for f 154 per month. It
was stipulated tnat tbe city should pay for
any other alterations that might ho neces
sary , remit the taxes and pay the water
rent. The fpcclal committee made an In
spection of the premises und will report at
a future date.
