I LEGAL OPINION ON CANTEEN Attorney Crnt-ral UrlKKH Preparing One for ( hi- ( initiative of Army Olllcer * . NEW YORK. April 3. A special from Washington says : Attorney General Grlggs will render an opinion this week on the question of authority of the secretary of war to permit the sale of beer on public reservations under his control. Temperance men throughout the country , assisted by whisky dealers , have been making a strong effort to sccuro prohibition of the sale of beer at military posts and soldiers' homes , and they succeeded In getting through con gress during the last session a provision In the army reorganization law that "no ollloer or private soldier shall bo detailed to soil Intoxicating drinks , as a bartender or other wise , In any post exchange or canteen , nor shall any oilier person bo required or allowed to sell such liquors In any encamp ment or fort , or on any premises used for military purposes by the United States. " The secretary of war Is specifically directed to Issue such general orders as may bo necessary to carry these provisions into effect. Judge Advocate General Lleber held that the section required the total prohibition of i the sale of Intoxicating liquors , but Secretary Alger simply published the law "for the Information of all concerned.

From surface Indications the city elec tion today , at which four members of the city council and three members of the Hoard of Kduciitlon will be chosen , will be a very quiet one. Very little enthusiasm has be n manifest so far and it Is pre dicted that the day will pass oft without disturbances of nny kind. Yesterday CHy Clerk Carpenter com pleted the compilation of the registration statistics. Transfers from one precinct to another to the number of S7 are noted , while iho new registration amounts to 686 , the total making 773. By adding the now reg istration to 'tlio registration ot last fall tlio total vote ot Iho city is shown to bo 3,911 , which is the largest in the history of the city. This Increase Is not surprising , how ever , when It Is remembered that scarcely a vacant house Is to bo found In the city. On account of the lack of Interest It Is not thought that the full vote will ho out to day , as spring elections frequently occur when only a two-thirds vote Is cast. Mayor Knsor yesterday Instructed Chief of Police Carroll to notify every saloon keeper to koi'ii hl place closed during the hours thu polls arc open. In this connection the mayor said ho would Insist that both Iho front and 'back ' doors of all saloons ho kept closed ami locked. Further ho would Insist that all screens In front doors , windows dews and liars bo removed during the voting hours. The Nebraska election laws are very strict In the matter of selling liquor on election days. Section 14 Is ns follows : "Every person who shall sell or give away any mall , aplriiuous and vinous liquors on the day of any general or special election F'hall ' forfeit and pay for every such offense the sum of J100. 'Nearly ' all the candidates iput In the day yesterday going about looking over their fences for the last time before the battle. Kelly stated that his chances In the First ward were excellent. Ho docs not expect any organized opposition and predicts a vic tory for the republican tlekot. In the Second ward Fltlc , the republican candi date , Is marked on the slate for a sure winner and Patrick Trainer's friends In the Third ward assert ho will have easy BallIng - Ing for re-election. Stlllmock was the favorlto In the Fourth ward last night. H Is thought that on account of the split In the democratic ranks In this ward that a republican will liavo no trouble in secur ing enough votes to elect. TJic packing houses will make an effort to shut down at 3 orI o'clock this afternoon in order to K'VO ' all employes a chance to vote. Xotlces to this effect have been posted , 'but ' the foremen were Instructed by ' the managers yesterday to handle the work so that all employes would bo given ample tlmo In which to vote. The same may bo said of the Stock Yards company. More interest seems to center about the election of three members of the Board of j Education than the selection ot four coun- cllmen. U is reported that the democratic ! candidates nro being assisted by their wives , j The republican candidates for the board are Jay Lavcrty , W. B. Olin and John Troutnn. while the democratic aspirants are James II. Bulla , John Ficenec and J. Hyan. 0. I K. Bruce , II. J. Shupp and Henry Michels i are the present members who will retire at the expiration of their terms. Those elected to 1111 the vacancies caused by the retiring of these three members will take their seats at the first regular meeting In July. Mayor Ensor does not think "that " It will ho necessary to swear in any special police , as he considers the regular force sufficiently largo to maintain order at the voting booths. The mayor said , however , that If the occa sion required he would swear In a tew men , but he does not anticipate that ho will he re quired to take any such action. The voting place in the Fourth ward was changed yesterday afternoon from the barn on Thirty-second and K streets to the old school house. The election board will ' meet this morning at the place advertised I and will adjourn to the school house. IIOAllll OH1 Hin'OATlOX MKKTIXC.

To the Honorable Board of lOducatlon of South Omaha Dear Sirs : I beg leave to submit my report of the Inspection of the school buildings erected by the Board of Education of the city cf South Omaha last year , and also enclose building permits Issued for the samo. I flnd the buildings In good condition , all of the structures being substantial , but the | piovlsion In case of lire is very poor. Tlio Central school , a three-story Btruc- i two , with a seating capacity of COO , which I is crowded to Its limit , is not suitably prj- I vided with fire escapes nnd should a lire I start in the stairs a great loss of llfo would I be the result. In my opinion this i-cliool I should be provided with four lire escapes. i The Brown Park school , being only two stories In height. Is not ho dangerous , but , It Inn a rapacity of & 00 pupils. Both the Hawthorne nnd the Lincoln schools liavo a capacity of 400 pupils < ach , but they are only two stories in height. T'.ui ' j West Sldo school , with 400 pupils , and all the others , need suitable lire escapes of some ni proved pattern and designed especially for the use of children. These lire escapes should ' he placed In locations selected by the chlel | of the flro department , the building Inspec tor and the board's architect. . I would respectfully recommeivl that these i Improvements be made at the earliest con- | venlenco of thu board. ; Superintendent \Volfo reported that tin 1 Highland nnd Hawthorne schools , were over crowded and m ro room was needed befon Iho commencement rf the next term. Ii addition to ono extra room needed for thi Central school , five other rooms are needed I The matter of changing the school district ' was discussed , hut 'was deferred wlthou I date.
