Mercer left ¶ or Slllrlt lalee I.'rhlay evening.
The mornIng was consumed with In\'est-
. . gatlng the actions of the city council In con-
nection with the caae. When put to the test
the members weakened and advanced the
theory that the teeram ) sent by Judge
. $ lopewel advising them of the restraining
order appeared to lack authenticfty. In
obedience to conscientious fcrnples , as to a
neglect at councimanIc duty they said they
Ignored the order , taking chances.
On the legal questons , as far as Investigated -
gated yesterday , the city council and Its
attorneys completely backed Ilown and ad-
r mUted that Judge Hopewel could issue a
. restrainIng order before a petition was fed ,
In fact that It WS the usual proceeding. The
upshot ot the Investigation Is that the ten
counclhneii must answer to the charge of
contempt or court.
The hearing first called at 10 In Judge
. . Ifopoweli's room was transrerrell to Judge
Illair's room , owing to the crush. Messrs.
flojup , Or"Inl and SlmPal appeared for the
\ complainants council. - - and Hal and ltnsoln for the
I counci. ONIN TO DO IS DUTY.
t , After colvenlng court Judge Hopewel sid
that on I.'rhlay. before hIm at 'ekamah , a
Petition. verified as IlrO\'lled by law , had
petton. Ilresenell to him , the petton asking
that an injunction issue against the city
. the
counci , restraIning I from approving
bonds at Uroateh Vantervoort and Foster ,
who clahnecl to ( hohl al1polntments as mem-
bera .ot the Fire and Ialce Conintisslon. He
had cxnmh1l the petition and found that It
' by the statutes.
was july drawn as provided
He could do nothing hal he del red , other
his order .
than to issue arier.
In order that all the parties mIght have
t notice and be given a chance to show why
I such an Injunction should not ; : sue. he had
. set the hearing In Omaha at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning. lie therefore wrote a telegram
notifying the president and member of the
: lty council of the temporary restraining
order. lie then took the evening train for
Omaha , to be present at the hearing.
When he reached OmAh he was surprised to
find that the restraining order ot the court
had been Ignored and the express orders at
l\d anl
the \ court defied . He had hoped , that yesterday
morning he could hare taken up the legal
aspect ot thu case presented hy the In-
Junction. "thit the question now presents
juncton. IseU , sall Judge 10pewel. "Shalt the com-
muniy allow this defiance at the law to pass
without calment ; or rebuke ?
wihout complications now arising. " .oncludell
the julge. " are legal 01 ! oC a peculiar ra-
ture. " He expressed regret that this com-
pilcatlon had arisen , but as a judge It was
his lut ) ; to ee that the court W3s honored
and Obe'ell. The situation was such ' that he
.
said that he could not hu'r It .nd must :
sea what hIs .Iuty as a court was. 'rh Judge
lel vss much appolnted , ho said , to find
wa
thIs complication because , being free
from any concern I the ! Hater because he
ltred In another county. he had not had
that Interest which mlht have dCllnahd
some
some.DRNOUNCED AS ANATWHY.
Judge Daane sta'ed that the question at
tim Integrity of the curt was at
stsko. "Your honor can take what course
he wishes In regard to the Injunctol , because -
cause we can try all the questions we wish
In the other Injuncton iroccolins. " added I
Judge Doane , "but wo do Insist that the '
dignity a 111 IntegrIty of this court . should
be malntalnell. The actln or the city coun-
cii was In defiance ot law and nothing but
anarchy uml an attempt on their Part to
carry their point In spite ot law and , order. "
Richard ltl Insisted that bemse : Jud.e
Dlano stated that the law polnt could n"w
be rll11 In the second injunction there-
fore the first suit mUbt bo a fraud on the
court. To this C. J. Greene responded that
thits waD merely an attempt 10 mlslpad the
oourt. He apprlclated the emlIrrassmenl or
the court anti hoped that the dispute would
properly be \rought to Issue In the courts
and so get a peaceable determInation at the
controvers Neither he nor his clients had
any intention to make I unpleasant for the
other ade , but It was the duty at the julge
to protect the honor or the courts ot the
people.
Ilr. Oreena saId that he had no desire
' by any method to carry this case blycnd a
Point which would be pleasant to both aldee. !
"It l evident , " he salt , "that I the pro-
the city will

City CIHk Beech Igby explained that he
was doing the proper thing when he handled
the bonds and had no Intent' ' ) at dIsobeying -

After the members of the council had
male . their explanations Judge Hopewel said
that it seemed that when an order purported
to come from a court the gentlemen might
have said : "This only requires a tel hours
delay and we will walt. Your answers nearly

The judge said there might he a distinction
between those who were attorneys ant those
who dId not know the law. He was surprised
at statements or aUorne ) ' ! "It Is the ( duty
of attorneys to be friends at the ( court , " he
added. "Attorneys who gIve advice to bring

N1I't'OttlC , An : --What hooks very
much like n spilt In the board of polcJ
c mmlsloners has developed today from a
remark male , by Commissioner Grant yes-
tertiay at the trial of Polce Captain 1 lklns
for failing to'suppreu crime In his precinct.
Commissioner Grant plt several questions to
g.klns to which he received replies that the
captain hail bean In the service twentr-nlne
years and halt but twice had charges pre-
erred against imimmi and that several
years age he had saved but lGOOO , and his
defense In the ( trial hat cost hll ,000 , a
quarter ot hIs savings
Thereupon the commissioner said : "I be-
leye I heard you say this trial was for a
crime ? "
" . " .
1 did
" 1 agree with you , " said Commissioner
Grant , and with that left the room. The
three other eonlnlsloners , Messrs. Parker ,
Roosevelt amid Amudrews . did nol approve of
the COUISO taken by Commissioner ( Grammt
They made Iwown theIr posiion In a state-
ment to the ( public. They state that Commls-
slcner Grant was an active partcipant all
along to bring the charges against CaptaIn
Baklns to trial Commissioner Grant , as
chairman of the commlteo on rules and dis-
ciplne , sIgned the official charges against
Captain Iaklns , whIch allege gross negl-
genco and Incompetency.
They declare that Commisioner Grant ,
early In the proceedings declared In the
presence of the other commIssioners that he
would vote to dismiss aklns wlhont readIng
the testimony , as It was too volumInous to
read I Is asserted that CommIssIoner Grant
has beard less of the testimony than any
other member of the board In conclusion
they assert that Captain I alcns wIll bo given

After the other commissioners had handel
around their statement , Commissioner Grant
was seen. lie RaId "As to , the statement
that I would vote for galins dismissal without -
out seeing the testitnony . I did make that
remarl to both Mr. Ioosevel and l'arker
but I was Intended only as a jole. I feel
that no one Is to blame. "

NEW YORK , Aug. 3-Ex-Mayor hugh J.
Grant returned tq.Uy from Europe , wherQ
he has been on 111"jwedtlng tour with Il
bride , the daugbtl' tf Senator Murphy
To a reporter : Ir. Grant said : "It Is unusual -
usual to declllQI to . huko ! something that has
not been offered. . 1 have given no Intimation
to anyone Ulat I w ull ( alto ! an active part
In isolitics. I shall : take only that Interest
In Politics that 'fvery citIzen ought to take.
I said In April ' hint as a member oC the ad-
Ylsory commlUf composed of wel Imown
tiemnocrats I would Ida all I could for the
success of .Taninlany hall. Tammany has I
many level headed men In It nnd they are
able to work ant Its success ' without dIrection
from me. I dofi't believe 1 leader Is necos-
sary. The execfllve ( commitee Is competent
to do Its work . , .
"Yes , I have beard about the rlglll onrorca-
ment of the excise law here and that on Sun-
day New York becomes a desert. 'rhls liquor
questIon was 1nruolyriiapouisible for the ule- !
feat at the liberal party In England. Nobody -

forced , but the excise laws should : : D : ,
changed as to permit time oters In the several - i
oral parts at the state to determine whether
Hquor should be sold In their communItes on
Sundas. "
Regarding the propsed free coinage of
shiver , Mr. Grant salt : "I dou't thlnlt I Is
now so disturbing a qeston as It was , but
the general Queston of bimetallic currency
Is Interesting people abroad There are
many bhnetalsts In Bngland and In Ger-
many. There Is a marked , willingness to en-
ten Into an international agreement for the

talns some ardent advocates of a himetalic
currency , notably Mr. flalfour . anti the new
