TITE OMAHA DAILY HER: THURSDAY, APRIL 2S, 1001. WAY DIKES ARE KOI BUILT County Official Talks ef t.i to Cub ia ' Missouri. scorrs at plea of impassable roads Say Tnree-Foartn ! Material la a Crtaaa anV- Work Might x Hav at Lni( Been Started. brought In on oar thla morning and the Chicago, Bt. raul. Minneapolis Omaha also had a car. The Rock Inland It run ning extra car on all of Its westbound train to accommodate the Increased traffic on account of th conference. The party will atop a day In Denver and on In Bait Ik City. Th why and wherefore of the move menta with regard to the conatructlon of the East Omaha dike are easily accounted for, according to the statement of a promi nent county official familiar with the cir cumstances, but who, for a variety of rea sons refuses to have his name used In connection with the matter at this time. "All this talk," he said, "about the work not being done on account of the roads being In such a condition as to make It Impossible to get the material for the con struction to the river bank Is unfounded. As a matter of fact 75 per cent of th piles and stone necessary are now on th ver bank, and if It has been possible to mna that much of it tnue far tnls season the rest might have been got there with much les trouble. Anybody could figure out that the work might have been begun with what Is there, anyway. "But the truth Is the county commission era have been caused to change their minds with regard to doing the work at all, at the expense of the county, and I will under take to say that It never will be done by them unleaa some new pressure that does not now appear on the surface is brought to bear. Weat at It Wrong. "Then went about the matter wrong In the first place and I know that when Colonel Chittenden of the I'nlted States engineering force was here he told them they had no call, and really no business, to build any dike for the restraining of gov eminent waters. When the delay that al ways characterises government construc tion of this kind was mentioned to him he replied that the government had never heen asked to do nnv work here, cither of a permanent or temporary nature, and that unless It was, It certalntly would never be started. "The county commissioners realise they have exceeded their nuthority In the mat ter, but I do not see how they are going to get out of It gracefully now, for if the work Isut finished they have two or three contracts on their hands where they have got to make good. One of these has been annulled ond a perfunctory reason given but the others cannot be disposed of that way. Edanlst Is Guarded In Speech. County Surveyor Udqutst was then looked up and questioned with regard to the ihivi statement, but refused to throw much of pny light upon the subject. "Aren't the roads in such condition now that the rest of the material necessary could be taken to the river bank?" he was . asked. "Thev have been very bad," was the snswer. "Aren't they in such condition now that the balance of the material could be hauled over thcro?" "I haven't seen them for several days he said, "and would not care to make any statement In this matter, even if I had. "Don't you know whether they are In passabl condition or not, and If their con dltion, on way or the other, has any thing to do with the dike not having been built as projected?" "Tes, 1 do know, but do not care to state." "Is ther anything in the statement. , so far a you know,' that the county 'com mlssloners have . come to the conclusion inai me position inai iney iook in ins matter Is untenable and that they must back down In some way?" "I do not care to answer that, either . All I will say Is that I am ready to go on with the work as soon as I shall receive ord-M-s from the commissioners to do so. "Then you have never received any orders to do the work?" "I have not." , "Hut you could go ahead with th work If you received the orders, according to what yon have Just sild. could you not?" Mr. Edqulst's answer was a smile and shrug of the shouldnrs. Will help down billboards Real Eatato Exchange Tote o C - Operate with InpraTesitat Leas for an Ordlaaaee. The Resl Estate exchange will ro-operate with the Omaha Civic Improvement league In the matter of th anti-bill board ordin ance. A committee, consisting of J. II. Parrotte. C. H. Harrison snd It. A. Wester- fleld was appointed at the meeting yester day to attend the Monday afternoon meet ing of the council committee and In con junction with representatives of the Im provement league urge the passage of the ordinance. John W. Robblns brought the matter up for consideration, and, as the representative of the league, spoke strongly In Its favor. Several members made re marks, pointing out the advantage of such a move to real estate. The exchange moved to support the ordinance. The committee on the form of lease made a supplementary report ana proaucea printer's proofs of the blanks for approval. A. P. Tukey announced he would sell some lots at the next meeting of th exchange by auction. Superintendent Davidson of the Omaha schools was a guest of the exchange. After the luncheon he made a short speech. Tie expressed his pleasure at being In Omaha. .He said good schools were a great advantage to a city and fully equipped buildings meant very much to a neighborhood. Strangers coming to a place to locate would always ask, "Where is the best school?" with the Idea of locating near It. They also would ask If It were In touch with a high school. He believed schools should be built with all the grades up to the high school, even If some of the rooms stood vacant several years. A school which only went to the fifth grade was a detriment to a neighborhood, because the children would have to be sent a mile or two from home for the next grades. 80 people would not locate near such a school.

Holmes, building Inspector cf Pueblo, Colo., who has been Indicted by a grand Jury there on the charge of etn bexxlement. Is In Omaha with his wife and family. He Is the only oner of nine Indicted city officers of Pueblo who left town. All the others have appeared and have been released on 12,000 bonds. Holmes, however, came to Omaha and escaped ar rest. Bo far no efforts have been made by the Pueblo authorities to apprehend him. although his whereabouts are known to them. Holmes Is well known In Omaha. He was a member of the city council from January, 1894, to January, 1S96, being elected as councllman-at-large from the Sixth ward, where he was a worker In th republican party. He failed for renomlna tlon, however, being defeated by Carr Ax- ford. Holmes lived In ' Omaha for years and was In th building business. He was Identified to some extent with anion labor, but his service as councilman was the greatest degree of prominence that he attained here. Pears Some Exposures. The Denver Post says in a Pueblo dis patch: All of the indicted officials, excent Rob. ert H. Holmes, the city building Inspector, iiuve oeen reieasea on oonus eiicl). Holmes some time ago removed his family to Omaha, for the reason, It Is suld. that he feared that exposures In the cltv de partments of wrong doing would sooner or nuer oe tnaae. The Times of Denver has the following concerning Holmes: Robert H. Holmes, ex-buildina- insnector of Pueblo, who Is under Indictment by the grand Jury for embezslement, has not yet been placed under nrrest. The sheriff's office has been informed that Holmes Is at present in Omaha, but there is no cer tainty or tnls. do stops whatever were taken up to last night leading to his find ing and arrest. The sheriff's office has not sent any telegrams to the authorities of Omaha asking them to make anv effort to locate or bring him under bond. There seems some uncertainty as to what will be done. While the Pueblo building inspector has taken no pains to conceal his presence In Omaha and was on Farnam street Tuesday, yet . few of his old essoclates about the city hall knew he was in town. The exact nature of the charges against him are not known here. It Is said the disturbance In Pueblo municipal affairs Is not yet fin ished and that a second grand Jury is to be called.
