The secretary reported tlmt the certifi
cate asked for by the Treasury department

ington.
An application from ex-Governor Pumas
for appointment to the position of director
general was read and laid on the table for
future consideration.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to prepare by-laws for the associa
tion presented a number of by-laws pre
scribing the powers nnd duties of the of
ficers. These were approved by the com-
mlttco and will be presented to the board
of directors at the next meeting.
The sanio committee also reported a set
of rules for the government of the executive
committee. These prescribed the order of
business , and provided that the head of
each of the departments shall be desig
nated as "manager. " The rules also pro
vided that the approval of the entire board
must be obtained before any person Is em
ployed In any department and nil salaries
nro to be fixed by the executive commit
tee. The rules fixed Saturday of each week
as the regular day for meetings of the
committee. These rules were adopted.
The managers of departments were then
called on to state the needs of their de
partments In the way of nsslstancc. Chair
man Llndsey , manager of the ways nnd
means department , reported that for the
present ho would require only one mnn to
tnlto general charge and devote the greater
part of his time to getting subscriptions
from people who have not yet subscribed
to stock. Mr. Llndsey was authorized to
employ such a man as ho had designated.
Mr. Ilosewatcr , manager of the depart
ment of publicity , reported that he would
require one chief of the press bureau to
commence Immediately the work of pre
paring the press notices of the exposition
and descriptive matter of all kinds for cir
culation over the entire transmlsslsslppl re
gion. Mr. Hosewater Hnld this work was of
such Importance that It would have to be
done nt once and It would be necessary to
employ ono stenographer nnd one type
writer. He was authorized to employ the
assistance ho had Indicated.
Manager Hitchcock of the department of
promotion said the only help ho would need
nt present would he a typewriter to turn
out correspondence. The method to be pur
sued In securing subscriptions from other
states was discussed and several plans
were suggested , but the matter was laid
ovei' ' for future consideration.
Manager ICIrkcndall of the department of
buildings and grounds said ho would not
need nny nsslstanco nt present , but would
probably require the services of nn engineer
nnd nn architect ns soon as the slto Is de
cided upon.
TO EMPLOY AN EXPERT.
E. 13. Hruce , manager of the department
of exhibits , said ho had not formulated
definite plans for his department beyond
outlining sixteen bureaus. How many chiefs
of bureaus ho would require be said ho
had not decided , but ho desired to employ
ono man of experience In exposition mat
ters. Ho .was authorized to make such ar
rangements ns he saw fit.
A. L. Heed of the department of conces
sions wanted the opinion of the committee
as to the advisability of having all the ad
juncts of the exposition operated under con
cessions. After discussing the matter It
was decided that this would bo more sat
isfactory than for the committee to atte-ipt
to operate nny of the adjuncts. Mr. Heed
announced that ho would need one clerk for
the present at a nominal salary. The nu-
thorlty was granted , to employ a suitable
person.
W. N. Habcock , manager of the depart
ment of transportation , reported that ho
would not need nny assistance for the pres
ent.

ll\Ulng such n department and the matter
was referred to Messrs. Wattles and Ilruce
to dcvlso a plan nnd submit It at the next
meeting of the committee.
The question of n salary for the secretary
was suggested , but was laid over without
action until the next meeting of the com
mittee.

department to announce the appointment
of a bureau chief. Shortly after the meet
ing adjourned ho announced that ho had

CANNOT HOLD BLACKBURN
Judge Fawcott Releases Him on a Writ of
Habeas Corpus ,
COMMITMENT PAPERS ARE INSUFFICIENT
Inelileiiliilly SluteN ( lint He
Does Not Think ( hooltirlen
Have I'mrer In Compel Wlt-
iiesteM to TeNtlfy.
The habeas corpus case of T. W. Blackburn
waa called yesterday afternoon In Judge
I'awcetl's court. Mr. Illackburn had been
committed to the county Jail for contempt
by Notary Plattl for refusing to answer a
question put to him In the contest proceed
ings now In progress for seats In the state
legislature. W. II. Herdman appeared and
asked to Intervene In behalf of the contest
ing claimants for seats In the legislature.
The Judge knocked out his nsperatlons with
very little ceremony , holding that the pres
ent one was not nn action In which an in
tervening petition could bo entertained'
The attorrey for Mr. Illackburn raised the
point that the commitment on
which his client was held wns
Insulllclcnt and after the ques
tion had been argued nt considerable length
Judge Faweett held that the point was well
taken. The commitment simply commanded
the officer to take and hold Mr. Illackburii
until such time as ho should be released by
due process of law. The Judge held that the
terms of the commitment were too Indefinite.
Incidentally Judge Faweett stated that
while what ho said did not have the binding
force of a judicial decision , as the point waa
not up before him for adjudication , hu was
of the oplnlou that the notaries did not have
the power to compel witnesses to answer any
questions put to them or to punish them for
refusing fo to do. The provision of the
tatuto which conferred upon the courts and
upon notaries acting under orders of the
court the power to summon witnesses and
compel them to testify wcs specific and reI
forrcd to specific conditions under which the
power waa vested in them. The section which
empowered notaries to hear evidence In
contest cases was lacking In thu provision
giving them power to compel the attendance
of witnesses and to force thorn to testify
and It was a presumption that the lawmaking -
making power did not Intend that they
should have such authority or It would have
been specifically conferred upon them as In
the other Instances.
At the conclusion of the henrlng Judge
Faweett entered an order for the discharge
of Mr. Uluckburn from custody.

Inlroiliiee n I.Idle .Spier Into Hie Con
ic * t Proceeding * .
The proceedings In the legislative con
test yesterday morning Included only the ex
amination of one witness and n very lively
squabble between the attorneys. James
Iloylc , prominent In South Omaha politics ,
was on the stand and testified that ho had
received various sums from M. T. Ilarlow
during the campaign , aggregating from $200
to $300. The contestants wanted to know
when the money was received , and .when
the witnt s answered that be did not re
member , they repeated the question with
variations , until Attorney Shcean became
disgusted and objected for the reason that
the questions were "nonsensical , absolutely
foolish anil characteristic of the attorney. "
At this Attorney Nolan waxed wroth , anil
for about live minutes the proceedings were
enlivened by the prettkat exhibition of
verbal sparring yet In the iccord. The
personalities became decidedly animated ,
when the court Intervened , and an armistice
was declared.
Mr. Iloylc testified that the money ho
received was all expended In the dldtrlbu-
tlon of sound money literature.
Manager Holdrego of the llurllngton , for
whom an attachment was Issued Friday ,
was not nn Imml. nnd the constable ex
plained that he had gone to Chicago.
The afternoon session was oven less pro
lific of results. Joseph Mlllaril waa called
as a witness , but stated that
liu was connected with no enm-
palgn committee and knew nothing
nbont the conduct of thu campaign. Ho hail
contributed several hundred dollars to the
campaign fund and that was the extent of
his Interest.
Ooorgo A. Joslyn was called by the con
testants In the expectation of proving that
the Western Newspaper union had received
monny In connection with thu campaign.
HU testimony amounted to nothing moro
than a positive denial that such wan the
