ItlfBitjnf o JOPCB Yesterday , M
the Old-Luwlolds the Fort , ,
No Changeui the Traffic What
the City Authorities Will do.
AH Interview Witt Gen. BCoa-
derson.
Tlio new liquor law is a few hours-
old , but so far the saloons of the city
give no indication of any change in"
the mode of conducting the liquor
traffic.
The Mayor and Gen. Manderson
held a longconsultationyesterday , but
what was agreed upon , between the
gentlemen could not be learned. It ,
however , ias transpired that the city
attorney advised-that certain local
legislation would be necessary to effect
a proper enforcement of the law , and
that until this shoufd bo done no ar
rests should be made.
City Marshal Angell-said he would
nottakoanyactionyesterday. Howould
give the saloons ample time to re-
recognize the fact that the law has
come into existence , before arresting.
He would not intimate exactly -what
action would bo taken. It is
altogether likely a raid on the
saloons will not bo made , but that
a half dozcn will be arrested , and
fined. In order to do this , and estab
lish a case in each instance , the mar
shal will have to procure competent
evidence of a violation of the law. It
will not alone bo necessary for those
sent to investigate to satisfy them
selves that the law is being broken ,
but they must taste the liquid and
swear that what they saw was beer ,
wine , or whiskey , as the caso'may bo.
This , of course , "will take some days.
As stated in TIIE BEE the other
day , these arrested will bo arraigned
before Judge Beneke and fined. They
will refuse to pay their fines and will
be sent to jaiL A writ of Tiabcas cor
pus will at once be applied for from
Judge Savage , and then the contest
will bo fully under way. Some pre
dict that so bitter a fight will ensue
that the state will receive no license
money from Omaha for the next two
years. Tlio liquor men regard * the
law as more unjust than prohibition ,
and not only unreasonable in its proVisions -
Visions , but oppressive and unconstitu
tional.
All 'tho liquor dealers hare licenses
under the old law until January 1st
next. "The city aulhorities will insist
that these licenses are vitiated by the
Slocumblaw : Then , it may bo re
lied on , the validity of these licenses
will be as much gone , into _ as the con
stitutionality of the Slocum law.
When Mayor Boyd asked City At
torney Manderson for legal advice on
the whole question , that official in a
written opinion said that while there
were many now and strange pro
visions in the laWj and -while the
penalties were extremely severe , the
city authorities had nothing to do
ivith the question of its , constitution-
ility. He said that licenses must con
tinue to issue iill Juno 1st , but that
the moment the Slocumb law began ,
; hcse became valueless.
Thcso licenses have cost the liquor
uen about § 8,000 , and a reporter
risited General. Manderson to ask
vhcther this nioncj" should be returned
o them in the event of the Slocumb
being-sustained. .
"lam of the opinion , " said the
general , "that thcso moncye cannot
> e recovered , should thcso present
iccnscs bo declared void. A" licensee
o sell liquor is a police regulation
athcr than a measure of revenue , and
t taken . with the chances that the
ax may bo'increased at any time , the
KMinJties enlarged , or that the license
nay be at once invalidated by a pro-
libition to sell liquor. It ia not a
Contract , nor docs it carry any vested
- V 1 - 111 L ? A ? ? I * It
ights with it And U is owing to"tho
oluntary acceptance of thcso chances
hat the money for the license
annot bo returned. Since I gave my :
ipinion to the mayor on these ques-
ions , a case in the United States
luprcmo court has been reported
rhich covers tliis whole ground , and
cttlcs this pliaso of the matter bc-
end peradvcnturo. It may bo found
i the 101st JJ. S. C. reports , page
14. The legislature of Mississippi
.ad licensed a lottery company for
wcnty-five years , receiving therefor
stipulated sum in cash , the annual
ayment of another sum , and a' per
entago interest sin the sale of tickets ,
"ho year after .granting tliis license a
onstitutioii was. adopted in which
licro was a provision that the legis-
iture should not authorize lotteries ,
'ho lottery -was therefore required to
uspcnd and'litigation followed. The
uprcme court decided that the author-
ation of the lottery company was a
implo "permit , and not-a contract
liat it gave no contract right and
iat it was taken subject to the
dances J have just mentioned. And
liat is precisely the state of things
ndcr which the new Slocumb law
ill como into force. "
"What will the contestants cndeav-
r -establish in fighting the Slo-
imb law ? " the reporter asked.
"Well , it seems to me , the point
icy may bo .able to establish -will bo
10 unconstitutionality of tholaw on ac-
) unt of its want of uniformity. This
scms to me to be the only dangerous ;
jint of attack in the law. "
JMr. Albert M. Chadwick , the at-
rncy , of .No. 1504 Famham street ,
: ry kindly permitted a reporter of
HE BEE to examine a sort of digest
3 had made of supreme court doci-
nn of'various states on the liquor
icstions.
The supreme court of Now York
i the case of Metropolitan Excise i.
oard vs. Barrio , 34th N. Y. G59 , de-'w '
dcd tliat licenses to sell liquor are
at contracts between the state and
ic persons licensed , giving the hitter c :
ssted rights , protected on general
inciplcs , andby the United States
institution against subsequent legis- u
tion , nor. are they prdpcrty in any
gal or constitutional sense. They are
ere temporary permits to do what
ould otherwise bo unlawful.
The Massachusetts supreme court in ai
o case of Calder vs. Kurby , 5th Gray aiP' '
P'
" * decided licensing is an exercise P'H
the police power , and can bo ai H
red , or revoked , at any time. ti ;
The Illinois courts' hold Schwon- hi
ow vs. Chicago , CS Illinois , 444 , hipa
at the restraints on the traffic of
iritous liquors arc not like such as pain
strict the ordinary avocations of life ,
lich advance human happiness , or in
ide and commerce , tliat neither th
educe immorality , suffering , nor ra
int. Tliis business is , on principle , rate
tliin the police power of the state , topu
d restrictions which might right- pu
Uy be imposed on it , might bo ob- hi
xious _ as an illegal * re-
ru
tint of trade , when applied
ether trades. Likewise , the con- fube
3i of the liquor traffic being a police be
gnl&tion , no one can. acquire sucli a It
sled right in it by a license , as that Itwl
ch control may not be resumed when
o interests of society require it. prwl
In Maryland Fall vs. State , 42 , wl
dryland , 71 it was held'the Icgisla- ca
rp is the undoubted power to pro- ha
bit the sale of libuors in any part of
e state , notwithstanding a party to CO
affected by the law may" have pro- COha
red a license under the general ha
license laws of the state , which is not
yet expired. Such a license is in no
sense a contract made by the state
with the party holding the license. It
is a mere permit , subject to be modi
fied or annulled at tha pleasure of the
legislature , who have the power to
change or repeal the law under which
the license was granted.
A Tennessee report says llth
Heisk , Tennessee , 257 A license does
not protect the Jiplder from such police
regulations affecting the trade , as' arc
not unreasonable , "
The supreme court of Ohio 1st
Ohio , 15 decided that the state has
power to revoke license.
A Mississippi court says that a
license to sell liquof , though issued
under state la'w. constitutes > no con
tract Jbeivrocn the state alid licensee ;
that it is a more. , franchise. Reed vs.

vs. Harris , 43.Mississippi , 728.
Decisions holding contrary views
arc not common. In Missouri , Indi
ana and Georgia , the iendancy of
cases inwhich the construction of
liquor laws have been before the
courts , is the other way from decisions
reported above.
A Jlissouri case , Slate vs. Andrews
28 , Missouri 14 , decided that the re
peal of a law granting license to
grocers to sell spiritous liquors docs
not affect the validity of an unexpired
term of such license.

tliat the payment of license tax con

lars worth of parasols ranging in price
from § 5 to $15. These beautiful
goods are the very Litest styles out

they have shown this season. Some of
these styles' are simply exquisite , and
well worth a visit to their store ot
have a peep at them.
M I NOR OFFENDERS.
As they Appeared Before Judge
Beneke Yesterday.
The fact the new liquor law wont
into effectycsterdaj-jcaused an increased
attendance at Judge Bcnekc's court
in the morning. The well thumbed
legal volumes which have done such
good service heretofore were laid aside
for the time being and now statute
books taken up. The first person to
bo tried under the new
law ivas Alexander Sappen and a
charge of drunkenness was preferred
jigainst him , to which ho pleaded
guilty. He said , however , that it was
the first time he had been in a similar
fix and asfced the court to deal lightly
with him. Judge Bcncko said that
law was law and that ho would bo
obliged to fine him § 10.
Jim Kelly was arrested under the
tramp law but got off in consideration
of the fact that ho had only arrived
in the cityjTuesday at 5 o'clock.
A young man named McHugh got
out of the county jail Tuesday morn
ing and was given a ticket of leave.
Ho was found loafing around in the
afternoon and arrested. Ho told the
Judge that ho would have left the city
last night but for his arrest. Judge
Beneke gave him fifty cents to pay
liis fare across the transfer and told
dim to shako Omaha dust off his feet.
[ f ho did not ho was told ho might ex
pect a matinee.
James Luck told the court , that no
body would give him a chance to sleep
in a house and ho was therefore
jbliged to sleep outside. Between
deeping in the street and on the side-
ivalk Ho preferred sleeping on the sidc-
ivalk and that was why a policeman
: ound him there last night. Ho will

It was sa'd at the time of Us dc- rafo raT

A HUMAN ARM
Fouhd by Some Children hi
North Omaha.
A party of children-wore playing
Tuesday in a barn near Sixteenth
and Clark streets , . when ono otthcm ,
ft little girl , saw a .human hand stick
ing Up out of the "earth * She even
thought she saw the fingers movS con
vulsively and called the attention of
her companions to it. With rare
courage she caught Hold of the
hand and , pulling it , Tincarthed
a whole arm. The news at once
spread throughout the ; neigliborhood ,
and considerable excitement resulted.
The most horrible rumors prevailed
for a time and if the whole stable had
been made a sort of private grave
yard the affair could not have caused
more general speculation. A little
hunt was instituted for ether
remains but withou'i result.
Coroner Jacobs was notified
of the affair and started out post haste
yesterday under the supposition
tliat ho was on the trail ot a gory sen
sation and arrived On the spot , he pro-
cceedd.to investigate but soon satisfied
liimself that there were no corpses
strewn around. The only remnant
ho could find was the single arm and
that had probably dono' duty in the
doctor's private office or some museum.
It was merely the skeleton of an arm
nicely wired like those usually seen
on exhibition. It is not atlill proba
ble tliat the original owner of it ever
lived in Omaha.
The premises , No. 1312 north Six
teenth street , wore formerly occupied
by Dr. Leonidas B. Arnold , who re
moved to Plattsmouth a little over a
year ago. His office was at No. 319

AN TOOETMATE AFFAffi ,
Misunderstanding Be *
tween'Two Piremeil , - .
Result of the "Trial in Court
, Yesterday. * ,
An unfortunate , encounter took
place Tuesday between E. G. Rylcy ,
secretary of .Pioneer hook and ladder
company No. 1 , and Chas. Kostcrs , *
member of Engine Company , No. 2.
The actual occurrence seems to have
had no witnesses , and consequently
there arfl two sides to the story. The
'affair occurred on Farnham street ,
near the state bank. , Ryloy and Kos-
ters it appears first got into an alterca
tion near Thirteenth street in regard to
fire department matters. Charges and ,
counter charges were inado and finally
blows wore struck andja scufilo.on-
sucd. Kostors claims that ho was first
struck And Rylcy said ho acted in sclf-
defense in attacking Koatora. The
men were separated by a business man
who has store near at hand. However
more words followed and Ryley finally
drew his revolver and fired. From an
investigation of the matter it would
seem that this shot did ! not take effect
as Kosters1 face was noticed to
bo bleeding before the shot
had been fired. Tliis practically ended
the difficultyalthough there was some
little skirmishing' around after the
shot had boon fired. The affair caused
"a "groat deal of excitement and col
lected a largo crowd of people. Officer
Conner arrested Rylcy late In thtr
night and ho was held in $500 bonds
to appear before-JudgeBencko to-day.
The matter was fixed for trial at 10
o'clock yesterday , but atj hnlf an
hour later nothing had boon done in
matter. Ryloy and Kostcr's were both
present in the police court , the former
being attended by CoL Smytho and
ex-district attorney Ferguson , his
counsel Koster declined to prefer any
charge against Ryloy. Koster'a under
lip T J much swollen and somewhat
cut , out otherwise ho showed no
marks of hard usage. Finally , neither
side desiring to take any legal steps ,
Marshal Angell swore out a warrant
charging both men with disturbing
the peace. When Rylcy was asked
how ho pleaded to the
charge Col. Smytho , made
a little speech in his behalf. Ho re
ferred to the affair as an unfortunate
misunderstanding between a couple of
well-known and reputable gentlemen
and said that no doubt Mr. Ryley was
technically guilty of disturbing the.
peace and consequently would so
plead , relying upon the leniency of the
court. When Koster was asked how
ho pleaded ho said that ho did not
start the fight and was first struck
and would therefore plead " not
guilty. However , he afterward
changed his plea to guilty of disturb
ing the peace. Ho was fined ono dollaV
and costs and Ryloy was fined five dollars
lars and costs. Both paid the money
and the case was at an end.

JTho Irfrar Baker Verdict. '
Fo the Editor of The Bee.
On my return to Omaha my atten
tion was called to an article in your
paper of the 23d tilt , on the acquittal
rf Low Baker , and what ho claimed as
ihe cause of his being prosecuted , in
iho United States court under charge
sf embezzlement. Mr. Baker's statc-
iients that the'prosecution grow out of
icrsonal feeling against him on my
part and that I sent' 'a telegram
tthich caused the sickness . of
lis wife are , totally .false.
Information , of Mr. Baker's doings ,
vliich caused his arrestj camoto , the
[ J. S. officers from not less'tharf three
liffercnt sources on complaint.of the
[ J. S. attorney on.h'caTingtfio facts ,
and not by myself ) Baker was'arrest-
sd and before a preliminary court ,
it Sidney , Nebraska , was bound over
md finally indicted by a U. S.- grand
ury.
I had no personal feeling against
Baker , and sent no telegram whatever
ilaimiiig his conviction.
The United States attorney on hear-
113 the statement of the facts in those
se , thought liim guilty and made
ho complaint. The examining court

jrand jury indicted him , and much to
he surprise of all who know the facts
