JUDGE DICKINSON SITS AT HEARING
Actlea l Oatgrawth ot CaaaelTa lie
claloa, After (arrfal lareelga
tloa, tkat Be Has Larger
I Ironist Ion.
The controversy between The Bee and th
V'otld-Hcrald to secure the dec'aratlon and
appointment ot an official paper ho been
carried before Judge LMcklnsun on the pe
tition of the World-Herald for a writ of
mandamus to estop the city council from
carrying out lta avowed purpose ot desig
nating The Hee aa the official paper of the
ilt3', following a hearing In which both
aides to thla controversy have previously
ret forth their claims, wherein It waa shown
that the World-Herald'a claim to a circu
lation of 6.000 and the further claim that It
waa the lowest bidder .were dlsproven, and
tho city council thereafter declared The
lice the official paper of the city. The writ
.for the mandamus Is the outcome of thla
action on the par: of the council and la
asked by the World-Herald.
Xn the beginning of the case yesterday
City Circulator Hemming of the World
Herald was put upon the stand. Mr. Hem
ming testified that the World-Herald now
has twenty-eight routes for the delivery
of the Evenlfit ' World-Herald, each of
which waa In charge of a carrier whose
duty It waa to deliver the papers dally and
to collect the subscription money. It was
shown that the actual list of subscribers
was vested In the carriers themxelves,
rather than being a matter of record on
the books of the World-Herald. Mr. Hem
ming could not testify as to the number of
subscribers during the last week In June,
which la tha time designated by law for the
filing of bona fide circulations on the part
of such papers as may desire to bid for
official printing.
Connell Make Motion. '
W. J. Connell, attorney for The Bee,
then attempted to aucertaln the extent
and character of the actual knowledge of
Mr. Hemming aa to the methods and
manner of determining the circulation of
' tha World-Herald and as to whether he
' was competent to testify upon that point.
Mr. Connell argued that the World-Herald
should not attempt, nor did It have the
right under the low, to Intrciuee new evi
dence, nor make an different showing
from that which was attempted before
the city council at the time when tho
question now in controversy was settled
In September.
Mr. (Connell objected on the ground thru
Mr. Hemming' testimony was Immaterial,
irrelevant and Incompetent; also espe
cially for Jhe reason that the petition
fljcd In the case does not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause of action or
sufficient to entitle the plaintiff to an In
junction, or sufficient to entitle the
plaintiff to a! writ of mandamus, or to any
writ of relief whatsoever; also for the rea
ls on that a mandamus will not require the
mayor and council to do an act In the
performance of which discretion or Judg
ment Is required to be exercised; also on
the ground that in the pleadings and un
der the undisputed Issues in this case, a
shown by the petition . of plaintiff, the
answer of tho mayor and council, the
petition of Intervention of The Bee Pub
lishing company, the supplemental petition
of Intervention of The Bee Publishing com
pany, and the reply ot plaintiff, the judg
ment ot this court must be for the mayor
and council and said Dee Publishing com
pany and against aald plaintiff.
Also for the additional reason that said f
testimony does not relate to the evidence
which waa before the members tat the city
council In general committee. Also for the
further reason that It la not stated In the
petition, nor Is it now claimed by counsel
for the plaintiff, that the member of th
city council. In determining that the Even
ing World-Herald did not have at least
S 000 actual and bona fide subscribers, and
waa not the correct bidder, acted fradu
lently nr.r colluslvely, or did not act In
good faith.
Bee Proves Its Claim.
To further establish the undoubted right
of The Bee to Its claim of being the lowest
bidder, and that It had an actual bona
tide city circulation of more than i.OM)
subscribers, Mr. Connell pointed to the
hearing which had been made before the
city council, as required by law, and the
resolution which wAa afterwards adopted
by the city council, as the result of Its
Investigation, wherein it was recited that
The Bee's claim was found to have been
clearly proven and substantiated In every
particular and that the claims of the
World-Herald had been dlsproven. The
resolution adopted by the city council on
September 29. aa a result of Its Investiga
tion In thla matter. Is here ahown:
Whereas, by the express provision ot
the charter of cities of Jhe metropolitan
class it is made the duty of the city clerk,
during the month of June of each year, to
advertise for proposals for publishing In
some dally newspaper all city notices, or
dinances, etc., which bids aro required to
be presented to the council at its first
meeting In July, and
Whereas, the city clerk, aa required by
law, did advertise for bids In the month
of June, 1903, and at tho first meeting of
the council In July did submit the bids of
The Hee Publishing company and the
World-Herald Publishing company to said
city council at Its first meting In .. ulv IHjJ,
at which time and place a written protest
was made and filed by The Bee Publish
ing company that the World-Herald Pub
lishing company was not the lowest bidder
and did not have S.ono actual and bna fide
subscribers for the Oman Evening WorW
Hersld in aald city of Omaha, and
Whereas, by the express provisions of
said charter It Is required that the daily
newspaper In which such publications are
to be made must have been published for
at least one year Immediately preceding
the time ot making the bh1 and must have
at least 6.000 actual and bona tide ub
scrlbera In such city, and
Whereas, for the purpose of determining
which of said bidders was the lowest bid
der, and for the purpose of determining
whether the World-Herald Publishing com
pany has 6.000 actual and bona tide sub
scribers for the Omaha Evening World
Herald, the members of the city council.
In general committee, held numerous and
extended meetings for the purpose of prop
erly determining such matters In dispute,
and at which meeting the said bidder,
their attorneys and representatives, were
present and offered evIHence and made
arguments; and,
Whereas, by the express provisions of
said charter the power to make all con
tracts and to all other acta In relation to
the property and concerns of the city
necessary to the exercise of Its corporate
or administrative powers, is vested In the
mayor and council; and.
Whereas, It has been shown and mode
to appear to the members of the city coun
cil on the hearing of the contest between
The Bee Publishing company and the
World-Herald Publishing company for the
publishing of all public advertisement,
notices and ordinances on account of the
city for one year as per notice of the city
clerk, dated June 17. 1903. that the Bee

such publishing and that the World Pub-

Be it resolved by the city council f the
city of Omaha, the mayor concurring:
That the bid of the Bee Publishing Com

at the time of making said bid, and for
more than one year prior thereto, had
over 7,000 actual and bona fide aubacribera,
and said mayor and council further find
and declare that said World Publishing
Company Is not possessed of the qualifica
tions of a bidder as required by law, and
that the Omaha Kvenlng World-Herald,
on June SO, 190S, and prior thereto, did not
have 5.000 actual and bona fide aubacribera
within the city of Omaha, and that tha
said Bee Publishing Company, at the time
of making said bid and aa ahown upon
aald hearing, possessed all the qualifica
tions required by law. for a bidder of such
publishing, and that under aald proof and
showing the aald Boe Publishing Company

Books Void of Trao Record.
In the questions submitted to City Circu
lator Hemming of tha World-Herald by Mr.
Connell soma Intereatlng facta were devel
ped, one of which waa that no true record
of the bona fide circulation ot tha paper
could be ahown or Indicated by the books of
the concern. Mr. Hemming testified that
the books would show tha number of
papers delivered to tha carriers, but that
they would not ahow the amount of cash
which had been paid to the carrlera by tha
actual bona fide subscribers. It also waa
ahown that there waa no record made or
kept of tha recalpta from the subscribers.
and that the books only show the payments
In cash made by the carriers for pupera
which had been furnlaheU them for delivery
to subscribers.
It waa ahown that only when required
to do ao did the carrlera aubmlt a Hat of
the aubacribera for whom and to whom
they were furnishing papers. Once each
month It waa atated that tha carriers
ordinarily turned In such a list, but that
auch lista could not now be produced for
the reason that they hud been destroyed.
It also waa ahown that some ot these
namea had been placed on file, but thla
waa not always done and for that reason
It would be impossible to ascertain tha
actual number of bona fide aubscrltiera to
the World-Herald at any given time.
Another important point in thla . con
nection waa developed when It waa atated
by Mr. Hemming that wherever tho books
would indicate the number of subscribers
at any given time, tha aubacribera to tha
Evening World-Herald could not be differ
entlated from those to the morning paper,
since the receipts for the two papers were
Iwaya combined, since only a few of tha
routea are independent of the morning
paper.
Vnder tho continued questioning of Mr,
Connell tha admission waa made by Mr,
Hemming that all ha actually and person
ally knew as to the exact number of sub
scribers to the World-Herald during 1903
and up to the present la limited to tha re
turne aubmltted In writing or verbally fey
the carriers.
World-Herald Ada Void.
in his arguments Mr. Connell aald that
but two quertlona are at Issue in this con
troversy, namely, whether the World lier
aid had t.OuO actual bona fide subscribers
and whether it waa the loweat bidder. An
important point waa scored by Mr. Connell
when he argued that sine the mayor and
council, after continued deliberation, had
determined that tha World-Herald did not
have l.ouu actual bona fide subscribers, tha
if important publications or advertisements
which are required by law ahould be placed
In that pauer they would bo void. Then It
was that Mr. Connell followed this up. with
tha luw point that the World-Herald had
r.o right In this hearing before a court of
tha law to introduce new evidence nor to
make a different showing from what It had
made before the city council.
Mr. Connell elated that the only ahowlng
which could be attempted at thla time

that tha council had acted fraudulently,
colluslvely or in pursuance of a combina
tion or conspiracy, or that It did not act
In good faith.
A suppository case was then cited by Mr.
Connell, in which It waa assumed that aome
paper had caused Its circulation to Jump up
wonderfully, after the fashion of tho'musli
room, just before the time designated by
law when the eubacrlptiona to that papr
should be shown to the city council.
"Would this constitute a legal and bona
Ada circulation?"
It waa found by the Investigation which
waa conducted before the city council that
certain routea of the World-Herald had
been checked up and gone over carefully
and that in many placea the alleged sub
aorlbera were taking tho Riper under
protest: others were taking It for Just one
day or a week on trial; othera were taking
It at tha personal request of the carrier,
while othera were taking it for various
reasons, but none of which would, under
tho atatutea. constitute a regular, bona
fide subscriber.
Finally, It was held that the power to
determine the question of circulation and
the loweat bidder waa vested tn the mayor
and council, and that the mayor and coun
cil of the city of Omaha, after a rigid In
vestigation, had declared the World-Herald
did not have S.OOO bona fide aubscrlbers.
Uarley Has His Bay.
In making the concluding argument for
the World-Herald, W. 7. Uurley said that
the question as to whether the World
Hcrald hud, or whether It did not have, a
circulation of S.nOO was not merely a mat
ter In which the city council or the court
could exercise Its discretion, but wus a
matter Involving an absolute fact. In this
connection Mr. Qurley held that the dia
cretlon resldlivg In a board, which a court
will not review. Is a discretion to Anally
determine condition, which, whether it
exlata or not. is a matter of opinion or
judgment; but where there Is an ultimate
fact to bo determined a fact which either
does or doea not exist the discretion exer
cised In arriving at the ultimate fact is
subject to review. ,
When Mr. Qurley had concluded his ar
gument, tha court announced its intention
to take up the question again on Monday
morning.
