THE OMAITA DAILY REE: FKIDAY. SEPTEMBER 25. 1003. t CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mayor Koorsi eadi in lw Veto luM tgei toEodj. DECLINES TO BE PAW TO COERCION rlnta City Oat Rttl .Veeds of Ike la Wily of Itwcn and Is Sustained br CoonclL. In very plain and forcible language Mayor Woores yesterday vetoed the resolution Designating the Evening World-Herald as the official newspaper. Tie council met In adjourned afternoon iost.on because of the failure to got together Tuesday night nd sustained the veto, only Councilman Nicholson voting to the contrary. Coun sllmen Hoye and O'Brien were absent. Following Is the veto message: I herewith return without m approval concurrent resolution Ko. i!VC, d-sljfnatln the Evening World-lierald the otnctiu newspaper of the city. As la well known to the member of your honorable body, this d-t.gna'ton does not represent the judgment of the mayor end council, but is brought nbout by the action Of Judge Rend In allowing an Injun, tion preventing the mayor and council from eiercletng the discretion vested In them by law. If the el'y of Omaha In the rxerclas of Its legislative and administrative pow ers Is to foe run by a Judtse of the district Court, 1 sm In faror of such Jirice taking the responsibility of his own order. If we are to have " government by In1 Junction." let the responsibility be with the courts. Certainly the mayor and coun cil should not take action contrary to their own honest judgment except when com pelled to do so by the mandatory and co ercive order of a court. The granting of a temporary Injunction prevent Inglhe mayor and council from designating The Omaha Evening Bee the official newspaper In ac cordance with the evidence produced on the hearing before the council should not be allowed to force the passage and ap proval of this resolution. The charter clearlr vests In the mayor snd council the power and discretion to determine wnli Ich bidder for official advertising is the lowest bidder and whether the bidders are pos sessed et the qualifications required by law. Did Not Have the subscribers. One of the qual.Acatlons Is that the news paper In which It Is proposcu to du the city advertising shall have at least t.uuo actual and bona hde moacribera. In tne contest as to whether the veiling World Herald had 6.00U aciual and bna tide sub scribers, after a hearing lasting ubuUt ten Says, It was shown to and Ut-iennlnd by the member of your honorable body, In general committee, that the livening World-HeralU did not have S.OiU actual and bona flue subscribers. Notwithstanding this hearing and such determination, Juugs Kead uecidos upon affidavits, and without witnesses appearing before him and with out the evidence before him width was before the council that Th Evening Bee should not be declared the .ofticlul puper, and thereupon Issues his temporary order of Injunction according)'. The iias.-ag4 of this resolution is not only In violation of the plain provisions of the charter, but re quires the members of this council to stul tify themselves after devoting niu. h valua ble time to the hearing of the dispute be tween the bidders for the official adver tising. In view of the lateness of the season and the probability of an early determination of this controversy upon a final hearing In the courts, there Is now no pres-dng neces sity for allowing this order to control or Coerce action. The mayor and council should place themselves on record, so far as they can lawfully and properly do so, against coer cion of this naiure arid stand firmly for the exercise of the ihiwim and discretion clearly vested In them by law. imtr Plans Vetoed. The mayor turned down three proposi tions for building sewer by day labor and saying for them out of the sewer b-nl fund. The message accompanying one of the rejected resolutions not only sets forth the reasons In full, but suggests Improve ment In the sewer service in order that certain districts may not be inundated by heavy rains. The mayor says: , ' I return herewith without my approval document No.. ttA2 passed by your honor able body at your last regular meeting, September 16, lfcol. This document Is a resolution directing the Board of Publio Works to construct a main sewer on Boulevard street from Third street to the river. I veto this resolution because I do not believe that w should construrt sewers in the outskirts of the city, whan the sewers in the center or business por tion are totally inadequate to carry off storm water. This resolution authorises the construc tion of a main sewer on Boulevard street from Third street to the liver In the south eastern part of the city and is to t built for the purpose of carrying off storm water, or the draining of a largely wooded section with but scattering houses here and there. There Is no immediate necet sily for this outlay, as ti e streets are all in good condition and no demand for sew erage. We had better by far spend our money In our city where most needed, and where it will do the most good. For example, the sewer from Twentieth and Popple on avenue, paralleling the Union Pacific track to Thirteenth, and Jones streets should be rebuilt snd enlarged before th Chicago Great Western Hallway company make permanent Improvements. 1 am creditably informed that the Chicago Great Western Railway company, whone entry Into our city I consider the greatest event for Omaha of this year of our Lord. has purchased, or Is about to purchase Ian 1 running from Fifteenth to Twentieth street south of Ieavenworth for the purpose of erecting "freight houses and tciminal fa cilities. This sewer to which I refer runs through their newly purchase- ground. From Thirteenth street east there Is an eight and one-half foot sewer which I am Informed by the city engineering depart ment Is large enough to carry oft all the water east of Thirteenth street. Roods of Wholesale District. From Thirteenth street west, the water Is ettlt down to u. four and one-half and l.urr to a three-foot sewer, which is entirely too small to carry off the over flow water that comes from Twentieth and lpplton avenue and the adjaoent ter ritory. You will please notice that every year, owing to climatic ctanges we in having more ana more rainiaii. i nis year double the usual amount of rain ha fallen, and as a result the overflow water from Twentieth and Poppleton avenue east has run in route n to ne vicinity oi inirteenin and Jones streets, and the sewer Inlets there being inadequate to lake the water Into the main sewer, that portion of ths wholesale district eaat of Thirteenth street, occupied by MeCord-Brady company, . Booth rackets company, I'arlln.- Oren dorff 6 Martin company and many other wholesale houses has been damaged to a great extent by the overflow While suits nay not be commenced agaln-t the city by these people, yet I have received many complaints from there. They ate heavy taxpayers and are entitled to protection from the city. Uosenberry Planing M1U. Chicago Lumber company, Co-.itant & quires coal yard, our own city yards. Wilson Boiler shops and even "Little Italy ' have all suffer'! from this over flow caused br ti 1nad"uacy of our sewer fneillties in that Important section of our city. Now eomes he CW'-agi Great Western Railway cnmpar.y with Its l.r"'.i of In vestments snd Improvements and the least tt.at the rlfy mh do i to see that It is not annoyed by an overflow of water dam aging Its track" and railway fact ties. Ag.iln there should be a main fewer c-on-strueted on Douglas street from Twe fth to Flxtcnth street and alnrg Sixteenth street from Chieaso to isird: nisi on Thirteenth or Furtnth from Chlcsgn north. I ret this Information hv tareful exsmlnstlon of the p,i.ts and sewei svs tm as shown In our city engineer's office. 1 also And thst the chief engineer of the T'nlon I'arlrk Railway company complains that during the last rains, its new boiler shops stood In two feet of water and thst there was considerable water throuuhout the entire shop grounds, a great portion of which came from the stieets eari ng thereto The North Omaha "-a!i sewir from Fifteenth and Ixard to Tenth street should be rebuilt so as to receive tno sew erage west cf this point. At Thirty-first and Farnam Thirty fourth snd Davenport, Twenty-seventh and Birt and In Bemls Park the sewers shoull be enlarged iind the sewers In many otner points In our city should have Immediate attention. The Saddle Creek sewer system, when completed, will be a grest source of relief to that rectlon of the city. I believe the engineering department should be Instructed to go Into all these details find make a comprehtnlve state ment with estimates of the cost of these Improvements before funds are wnsted In such localities as. contemplated by this resolution. For these above reasons I veto this reso lution. Lights at Railway Crossings. The council adopted the street lighting committee's recommendation to require the railroads to pay for thirteen electric lights at grade crossings, subways and viaducts. Eight lamps are at grade and five on via ducts. Four of the latter specifically are required to be maintained by the railroads by contract, but the city has always paid the ex pens. It La proposed to bill against the rallroids for the amount, $1,800, and to Instruct the electric light company to charge the whole thirteen lamps against the various lines Interested. No bids were received for street lighting. Representatives of the gas and electric companies looked on, but offered no ex cuses for not presenting proposals. Mayor Moo res also attended the meeting, some thing he has not done since the beginning of the present term. An ordinance drawn up and presented by union labor Interests, and which had for Its object the absolute prohibition of the distribution of printed or written dodgers, handbills or advertisements about the city, was rejected and not Introduced. The present ordinances permit the distribution of certain kinds of advertisements, but forbids the use of boycott cards and the like. Councilman PybalVs ordinance, seeking to prevent the sidewalk concessionaires from doing business downtown, was intro duced, read ths first and second times and referred. Market Hons Matter. Led by Councilman Rack, and with the benefit of Councilman Hoye's absence, the minority succeeded In killing an ordinance on third reading which would extend the market place on Capitol avenue from Four teenth to Fifteenth streets. In connection with the market house matter the M. E. Smith, Byrne-Hammer and Great Western Type Foundry companies presented a peti tion asking for the abatement of the mar ket nuisance on Eleventh street, saying that the gardeners' wagons block the street. The communication was referred to the Board of Fir and Police Commls sloners. Authority was conferred upon the Board of Publio Works to rent stalls in the Capitol avenus market house without the payment of premiums after October 1. A resolution directing City Treasurer Hennlngs to bring suit for the collection of delinquent personal taxes was adopted. The comptroller reported as follows: AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMADA Opening" of Fortieth Street Eonth ii Sow Attracting Attention.

This will most likely be done as the ordinance declaring the necessity has been Introduced In the council and re ferred to the ' Judiciary committee. The street to be opened. Is through ths Hughes farm. It is understood that Hughes la not In favor of the farm being cut up and will demand damages, but the council proposet to go ahead. Soma say that after this street la opened that the abutting property will be cut up Into city lots and that the property will be placed on sale. There Is also a schema on foot to have the street railway line extend south on Fortieth street from Its present terminus on Q street to Good Luck addition. City officials think that Improvements of this sort benefit the city, ar.d that If any damages accrue the city will ba able to stand the expense. For a number of years there has been a demand for car service south of Q street to ths county line and now that Fortieth street Is to be opened the street railway company will be urged to extend its Una and thus give service to a large number of property owners who live in Corrlgan addition. Pupils and teacher attending the Corrlgan school are anxious to have thla street opened and the proposed car Una built. Carnival Fa a Coatlanes. There was a good crowd at the carnival grounds last night and all of the attractions paid well. The best paying of all was the kangaroo court presided over by Judge Powers. In his work the Judge, who ap peared in wig and whiskers, and an old- fashioned coat with brass buttons, was as sisted by Morgan Hearty. If Mr. HeafTy ever lives to get out of the carnival grounds he will be arrested by Chief Brlggs for a knocker. Police Judge King was called to account last night. The wsgon went after him and the warrant charged him with running away from a policeman who had ordered him to halt. The Judge took the matter good naturedly and settled. Eddla Halpln was pinched for being a democrat and fined. While the judge was making out his receipt Halpln stole the bell on the judge's desk and passed it over to Billy Jetter The result was that both went to jail again and this time they not only settled, but promised to be good In the future. B. E. Wilcox and John F. Schults were landed and fined for walking slow on the streets. Bruce McCulloch, captain of the South Omaha calvary troop, had the pleasure of riding In the patrol wagon. Ha was ar rested for being a soldier, but pleaded not guilty. The judge fined him Just the same. Dave Garrett, chief of the fire depart ment, and W. L. Holland, assistant chief, were sent for on a hurry call and when they reached the grounds the drill team attended to them all right. W. B. Cheek and Walter Slate were also on the list. In the auditorium the dance hall was crowded and the other shows were well patronised. The carnival will close on Sat urday night West Twentieth Street Opened. Yesterday a - committee from tha East Slds Improvement club watte- -upon ' the officers of the South Omaha Land com pany in reference to the opening of Twen tieth atreet through Syndicate park. Sec retary Kennedy of the land company prom ised that the atreet would be opened In the daytime, providing - the city council provided police protection. Aa there Is no money on hand to furnish special po lice protection for this street through tha park, tha council will not endeavor to take any steps to have the street opened. It Is claimed by tha city authorities that tha land company ahould have opened thla atreet a long time ago without asking for special police protection. The city council Is willing to swear In a special policeman for the work In case the land company or the East Slds Improvement club pays for the service, otherwise there wlH not ba any policeman. Tha American Women's club of Berlin has sustained a eeilous loss In the death of Its president. Miss Morgan. In addition to her club work Miss Morgan has been prominent In charitable work at the German capital for many years. The annual meeting of the Nebraska W omens' Christian Temperanc- vnton In session this week at Lexington is attracting attention of the women of tha state. The meeting opened Monday with an executive session and will continue through today. This Is the first time the meeting has ever been held so far west and cwlr.g tp the In convenience of reaching Lexington to mar.y of the women the representation Is smaller than usual, but the Interest has not dimin ished, and that all the women desirous of ttendlr.g may ba privileged to do so, it has oen decided to hold tha meetings for the next three years at Lincoln, which is the most accessible to the districts where ths membership Is strongest. Tha election of Mrs. Medora Nickel of Beatrice as a delegate from the Nebraska conference to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, to be held at Loa Angeles In May, meets the approval of women all over the state. As vice president of the Nebraska Womens" Christian Tem pera noe Union Mrs. Nickel is among the best known women of tha stats and will be a credit not only to the women but to the conference. And this recalls the fact that It was tha Nebraska conference that origi nated the controversy regarding the ad mission of women to the general confer ence. Sixteen years ago Mra Angle New. man of Lincoln was elected to that meet ing and hearing of her election the Rock River conference elected Miss Frances Wll lard to represent It. Neither of the women were allowed to ba seated In the general conference, but their election and the con- teat that followed was the beginning of the agitation that has finally resulted In the amendment of the constitution and, for the first time, women will be seated at this meeting next May. Mrs. Dora V. Wheelock of Superior, pres ident of the Nebraska Women's Christian Temperance union, will attend the meeting of the board of temple trustees, to be held in Chicago September 29. .$o90.177.0i Jhoa L FOR STEALING SETTER DOG William Bonnevler Is Heavily Fined and lost to Jail by Jndga Berka, William Tetsel owns an English setter which ha valuea at 1600.

Plans for parly harmony were laid and dealt out In large chunks last night at the meeting of the Fifth Ward Republican club, Sixteenth and Corby streets, by the few stalwarts who assembled to discuss the Issues of the coming campaign. The olive branch was waved peacefully to and fro by rock-ribbed republicans, and the white-winged dove of peace soared gently through the atmosphere, while the caucus was In session. Harmony was the one prevailing element, and was evident in every movement, every gesture and every action that took , place. Candidates were also there, those who "Just happened In," Japanese ... fQr thl tlm.,tajned prfU,pon , UBed Imitators, and Imitate only the best, and from William A, Rcdlck. who is a candidal for district Judge. Mr. Rcdlck said In part: 'In this judicial district we hsve a republican majority of about 1,000 voters, but we cannot rely upon every one, for the republicans don't always vote the same way. We must take the advice that was given the young lawyer, 'Always be sura of your case.' So we must work and vot together, for It does not do to be too sure of your case. Make a friendly fight. Thero are democratic candidates, put up under the label of nonpaxtlnanism, but a non partisan ticket in truth in fact. Is deter mined wholly by Its mode of selection, and a judge is Just ss much a republican when he is elected, as when he Is on the bench. Nonpartlsanlsm comes in after tha man Is in office." Mr. Redlck said he once knew of a Jus tic of the peace In Bon Diego, Cel., who after hearing the plaintiff and his wit nesses, would render judgment in his be half. He was asked why ha never heard the defendant, to which he replied: "It tends to produce doubt In the mind." E. V. Pratt of the Sixth ward said there were 150 offices In the courthouse now held by the democrats, and if the two factions of the party get together, they can he routed and the republicans will "sweep the platter clean." Other short addresses were made by Charles Bachman and ex-County Superin tendent J. B. Bruner, who advised all tha staunch and true to go to tha meeting to night and follow the dove.

The Japanese international exposition has Just closed at Osaka, and It was a great affair. I regret to say that very few American exhibits were displayed there. Germany, France and England war the most largely represented of foreign exhibitors. The Jspanese exhibits were varied and ex tremely beautiful. Most of these exhibits will be shown at the St. Louis exposition and are destined to attract the utmost at tention. Many hundreds of Japanese will also visit tha exposition at St. Louis.
