nllt while the ( senate commitee was mak-
InK a flourish oC Its open meetings , and whIle
the orators were dl'lalmln against the proS
vIsions that seemed to be demalllel , by the
test Interests ot Omaha , the charter Itself
was being secretly patched up In the house
: committee rooms. I was In ( Representative .

; sioner was knocked ont , that limo pay If the
police officers was raised , that the meat In.
specter was made a charter alice . that the t
' comptroller's term of olco was extended a

charter absolutely worthless were ma < 1e. I
was In Representative Johnston's star chatn

, to carry out the purposes of the Russell .

In the holy , of the charter ImmedIately ( al .

was fxell :

f ) At I special meetIng ot the Board of FIre

afternoon Chief of Police Seavey was given
' 1 first-class reputation , but there was a I
failure to rebtore him to the position from
which he was suspended < some well < s ago and I
at the same time when time police Investiga -

, AU the members of the board were t
at the meeting and a couple or hours were
spent In executive session. After comIng

asked Attorney Mahoney , who represented
Mr. Savey , I ho hal anything to say rein
( lvo to the duet oC police matl r , Mr
Mahoney replied by stating that ho dId not

case for the reason that there was no testi .
test.
T mony to be discussed Continuing hIs re .
i marks , 11' , lahon y stated that there was I
reason for certain parties to have thrown
, discredit upon the acts oC Mr Seavey , as I I
had been II < 1e clear that there was no evidence -
deuce to sustaIn II charges which hal bcen
made. I was apparent that one Illviduat 1
who had ben the foremost In making charges
had made them In bad faith , for when he

testify under < oath he had shlrlid the respoim -
stbliy and had faied to aplear reSJn-
charges , Mr. Mahoney contended , had bee
made for the purpose or throwing a cloud
about the official acts of Seavey
At this point Commissioner II\rtman interrupted . -

Another warm discussion occurred when
the retrenchmeRt ordinances , which were
reommenced early In the year by the
finance commIttee , came up for their third
and final reading. These provide In brief i :
that the salary of the superintendent of
the city hal bo reduced to $1,000 a year ;
thee of the Janitor from $50 10 $10 ; that
or the clerk In time office at time building In-
specter to be dispensed with and that the
expenses of the Board of Public Works Cor
clerk hIre bo lmited to $1,600 a year.
howell moved that- the salaries ot the
janitors be continued at $50 lie asserted
that no man could support a family deceoti y
on less than that amount.
KENNAnD WAS HEAnD.
Prince moved that the ordinances be re-
' rri to the committee at the whole. This
was recognized as the final quietus oC the
ordinances nnd was vigorously , but Inerfectu .
