March 19.—(Special.)— Omaha ministi rs nre beseeching legis lator* to kill the Chambers-Larkin bill which would take the alleged $10,000 made annually by Sheriff Kndres out side of his salary for feeding prison ers and place this money jn the hands of the taxpayers. Following is a copy of the letters being received: "We have reason to believe that the movement to deprive the present ser iff of any income from feeding the prisoners is fostered by enemies he has made by his publicly avowed pur pose to enforce the law against exist ing crime.” Senator John L. Larkin of Omaha, one of the introducers of tho bill, charged tonight that the signatures of ministers of Omuha had been ob tained by a woman stenographer In the sheriff's office, through misrep resentation of facts. The senator asserted' that the min isters did not realize that the hill in no way crippled law enforcement in Douglas county and merely was an attempt to save an overburdened county of thousands of dollars. "I have been informed by two ministers who fairly understood my bill and who refused to sign the. letter, that the facts had beep misrepre sented.” said Senator Larkin.”* It is utterly unfair for Sheriff Kndres to appeal to a nontaxpuyinc body, such as the ministers of Omaha, on a pro position which Is not moral and which Is of concern to the taxpayers of the county only. "Not one *of these ministers Is sub ject to taxation under the law be cause their parsonages are exempt and I know that If they realized that it was a taxation Issue and not a moral Issue, they would never have affixed their signatures to the letter." Ministers signing the letter are: B Sinne, St. Mary Magdalene Catholic church; E. P. Jenks, First Presby terian church: Arthur Atack, Hanecom Park Methodist church; William M. Franklin, Baptist church: Edgar Mer rill Brown. Deitz Memorial church; P C. Gannon, St. Patrick Catholic church; Ezra Duncan, superintendent Baptist city mission work; G. H.
