brought out. Ho read a quantity of tlio tes

tradicted hlmnclf on Important points a great
number of tltnci and Bhowlnst , also , how
Orr Mlno Rave the lie to the Btront ; stale-
rncntn of Manager Klrkcndall to the effect
that Gcraldlno had represented that the
Fambcr for ihc lagoon should be bought by
the exposition for the reason that It could be
bought for $1.50 below the market prlco and
money could thus bo saved. The whole lum
ber deal was directed , showing clearly that
Geraldlnn'B own teatlmony on thn witness
ntand proved conrlualvcly that ho had lied ,
ml Mr. Hosewater said ho was firmly con-
Ylnceil that fraud and collusion existed alt
through the whole matter , find that ho would
Kftt bellcvo Oeraldlno under oath. He a ld
| ljat If Gcraldlno were to testify In any
court ns ho had testified In this Investiga
tion ho could be nont to the penitentiary for
perjury.
OIVINO VERBAL ORDERS.
/ - > Mr. Il08owatcr continued to read portions
of the testimony bearing on the salient
points oml led by the committee In Its re
port. coriirrc.itlnK on Qeraldlne'n method of
buying large bills of materials , amounting In
savoral Instances to several thousand dollars
lars , by simply giving verbal orders anil
without having any written evidence of the
prlco or other protection for the exposition
tfgalnst a disposition on the part of the
ciollera to raise the price. Ho MHO commented
on the transparent explanations Invented
by1 Geratdlno to account for some of his pe
culiar transactions.
Mr. llosowatcr took up the method pur-
, ttcd by Gcraldlno In the case of the sewer
put In by J. P. Daly , In which cose It was
charged that the plans for the sewer had
b'ecu made after the work was completed ,
and connections shown In the plans were
proved not to exist under the ground , as
w a shown by the fact that the engineer on
the grounds , the contractor who built the
Bower and three or four men engaged for
two and one-half days In digging up thn
sewer to find a connection which the plans
showed should have been at a certain point ,
but which could not bo found nt all , making
It necessary to break Into the newer to make
a connection with It.
The matter of Tamm's employment was
touched upon , and Mr. Ilosewatcr also called
attention to the fact that Gcraldlnu had Im
ported a man named Joe Schwartz , a man
who had been with Geraldlne nil over the
world , and who was carried on the piy roll
as a redman , but who docs nothing but act
ns a spy upon every person who visits the
grounds , and reports all their doing to Ger
ald Inc.
INSULTING AND AUUOQANT.
In conclusion , Mr. Hosewater said that
even If there wag nothing In these charges ,
Geraldlne's arrogance was enough to demand
hU Immediate dismissal. He detailed n num
ber of Instances where this employe had
acted as though ho owned the.exposition and
had Insulted' ' members of the executive com
mittee In the most outrageous manner. He
said that the general public had lost all
ccafldonce In Oeraldlne and believed him to
bo crooked. To such an extent had this
feellng > obtained that Mr. Hosowater warned
the directors that his retention meant that
all hopes of carrying the $100.000 In bonds
proposed to be voted by Douglas county
might as well bo abandoned , as the voters
of this city and county would not vote to
turn $100,000 Into the treasury of the expo
sition where It could bo mnlpulated In anyway
way by this man.
After Mr. Rc-cwatcr had taken his scat
F. M. Youngs , the representative of organ
ized labor on the Hoard of Directors , t > ald
a lot of cvldenco was unnecessary to con
vince him that Ooi-aldlno was Incompetent.
He said there had bsen plenty of people
watching the manner 'ni which things had
beoU carried on and the feeling was general
among nil classes of people that Gerali'lno
w\is not to 1)0 trusted. If an Omaha man of
gocd standing In the community was put In
charge of this work thly suspicion would be
allayed , but ho endorsed what Mr. Itosewater
liad slid , that Gcrald'cie's retention meant
{ hat exposition bonds would be defeated ,
and that a large number of people In the
city would refuse to pay anything further on
their subscriptions.
No further remarks y.'cre.made by any of
the illrecfibbifiuid > ilio"qu ftlon was put on
the adoption .of thd resolution. Ths "noes"
mjide more nolsb tlian the "ayes , " and a roll
call w.as demanded. Then a votu by ballot
wascalled' for , resulting In 12 ayes and 23
nays.
MR. UOSnWATER RESIGNS.
Immediately following this actlcn Mr. Rcse-
watcr handed to the secretary and had read
the following letter :
Gurdon W. Wattles , president Tran'ime-
slsslppl Exposition : Dear S'r I desire ,
through you , to tender to the board of di
rectors my resignation ns member of the
executive committee of the TransmlBsIfulppI
Exposition , to tr.ke effect from and after
Octoher 13. 1M)7. ) 1 am Impelled to tM * step
by my Inability to sanction the retention In
the service of the exposition ns superin
tendent of grounds and' buildings of n man
who ban usurped the powers and preroga
tive's of the executive committee and by Ills
own testimony convl ted himself of wilful
deception , imlcfcnclblu partiality to con
tractors , flagrant disregard of thei interests
of the exposition anil expensive Incniupe-
tency. In retiring from the executive board
I do not yield to anyone In my desire to
promote the mcccss of the exposition , but
In Justice to the stockholders and the pe.plo
who are taxed for this great enterprise 1
propose to discharge consc'Ientlou.s'y and
fearlessly the duties devolvlne on me ns im
editor. K. HOSBWATKU.
Mr. Roacwater moved the Immediate ac
ceptance of his resignation and his nutlon
was Beconded by Frank Hlbbard. The presi
dent put the question and Hlbbard's was the
only voice heard In favor of the motion.
A number of the directors voted against ac
cepting the resignation and the president
declared the motion lost.
Mr. 'Rosewater ' declared that such action
was chlid'a play.
Mr. Llndsoy said iMr. Roscwator must bo
retained on the executive committee1 , as his
experience was necessary In conducting the
Department of Publicity and Promotion and
In assisting the committee.
Mr. Rosewater salJ It was useless to talk
of It ; that ho could not continue to work
with the committee and he would iut stay on
the committee and see the -pilfering and
stealing going on all the tlmo without lulug
able to stop It.
Prank Hlbbard suggested that while sal
aries were under consideration It would be
a good Idea to appoint a committee to adjust
salaries , , and If this committee found people
who could us well be dispensed with I In ad
vice should be taken. He moved the op-
polntmcnt of such a committee , but there
was no second to his motion , and a moMor
< o adjourn -was put and carried.

work.
HAD HIS OWN IltiASONS.
Supcrlntfndcnt Oernldlno Btntrs that ( for
renfons which seem to be B-itlsfuctory to the
Department of Grounds nml IlitlldlnKs ) ho
clmtiBed tlio pinna nnd ? it-clllputlons of the
work in nome minor pnrtloulnrf , nnd that
both contractors were asked to make their
new bltln upon tile mortified or chanwd
npcclflcatlnns. Jlr. Connelly Btntcs that ho
knew nothing of the change In spccltlcn-
tlons nnd rrmdo hla bid upon the same plann
nnd sCRlllcatlons | ) ns the Ilrst one. It would
appear to your committee that the dltrcr-
tnco of understanding between Contractor
Connelly nnd Superintendent Ooraldlno Is
of n character which might and frequently
tloea nrlso In connection with contracts.
Contractors frequently take for Krnnted
ihlnfs told thorn by others and fnll to take
due notice of things which may bo placed
before them , while otheis may crisp the
situation more clearly from the same pre
sentment of the CUSP.
However that may be , the bid of Con
tractors C'recdon A Mahoney on the second
letting wns $ . " ,030.60 , inclusive of the stay
anil anchor pllcn. Connelly's bid. Including
the stay ami anchor piles , was JT.SOO. The
cost of dolns the stay nnd anchor pile work
was estimated to be between $ TOO and JW ,
nnd aa n matter of fact did cost JTTfl.M ,
whichndded to Creedon & Mahoney's hid ,
m.iilo tlm cost of the work on their bid
? G,71fi.3 | , nKaltiKt Connelly's bid of $7,800. , A
deduction of ? 7CW was made In Connolly's
bid If ho wns allowed to set Ills sheet pll-
Inff "In a trench Instead of belnir driven , "
but It wns required by Creedon & Mahoney's
contract to drive flic piles six Indies nnd ,
an a matter of fact , ttiey were driven six
Inches. It U dllllcult to see how this de
duction' could bo considered by the super
intendent. Mr. Connolly Matew that ho
meant ta say In his bid that if allowed to
sit the piles In a trench two feet nml drive
them the other six Inches he would deduct
$700 , but his bid clearly states that If ho
was allowed to j'-st the piles "In a trench In-
stend ot belriK driven , " he would deduct
$700. Wo cannot see that the superintendent
watt charRcablo with dereliction of duty in
dlareEardliiK the deduction of $700 , cloaked
In the liinmiap.o In which Itvas. .
MONKY WAS SAVED.
Wo think , therefore , that It Is but fair
to consider the case from this point , upon
a basis of bids from Crcedon & Mnhonoy of
$ . " , y.G.5 ! | > , plus the cost of driving main nnd
anchor piles ( Including Inbor and material
which wns furnished by the exposition )
amounting to $773.93 , equals $6,716.43 , against
Connelly's bid of $7SOO.
At thin point u. question In Mnnauer nose-
water's duirRes ptesents Itself : A bill of
lumber for t'hls shiet pllliiR wns contracted
for by Superintendent Geraldlne , nmountlnfr ;
to 175,000 feet , under the order or approval
of the executive committee. As to the pur
chase It Is dllllcult to BCO how the. superin
tendent can be charged with dereliction of
duty , asthe traiiRictlon wns approved by
the executive committee. Manager Hosc-
\vntor , however , tooius to have understood
that the price of the lumber wan $1 or $1.59
per thousands feet below the market price ,
thus effectltiK a saving of that much to the
exposition. Superintendent Oeraldlne statoi
thn't the price was the market price for s uch
material nnd the paviliK In muklnc his pur
chase was to bo realized In seeuriiiR at the
market price for ordinary material cut to
Mtnmlnrd thl knoj's nnd design , n stock of
material for this special work of special nnd
unusual thickness and design. It would ap
pear to t'hls committee that the supjrinten-
' intentions ' and
dcnt's were clearly honorab'o
MM jiu'Bment well fo mde I , but , In any event ,
this contract seems to have been placed In
the name cf the exposition among other
tilings to save time , and put In process of
manufacture while the bids nml contracts
were being adjusted , and in order that it
might be had promptly In case the exposi
tion frilled to make a dtslrable contract and
v.-as forced to do the work Itself.
LOSS TO TUB CONTUACTOU.
A < a mailer of fact It appears that the
contract was transferred to the contractors ,
Croedon & Mahoney , who assumed all the
obligations of the exposition in the matter ,
but by Superintendent Gcraldlnn's report it
appears that this was not done until after
the contract was awarded to them , they
being the lowest bidder , and It does not ap
pear to your commltteo tliat any loss was
sustained by the exposition in the transac
tion , nor any gain to the contractors. On
the contrary , It would appear from the
statements submitted to your commltteu
( Hat the contractors ( dole the lumber at a
price above .that they expected to pay other
lumber dealers for It. There may be a ques
tion of io.ss raised in connection , vlth thci
traiiMU'tlon , on account of the the waste in
thehillthus 'boUht ' ! > "aiil transferred , on
account of the change In the specifications
made after this lumber inns contracted for
and before Wo contract was let to Crcedon
& 'Mahoney. If so , It would bo a loss to
the contractor and not to the exposition , nnd
could bo reasonably charged to error In
judgment which might be noted In connec
tion with other like errors , or dereliction of
duty.
In connection with thin branch of the con
troversy something Is said about the differ
ence In value of white and yellow pine for
s'aeet piling. Contractor. Connelly's bid was
made , us shown upon Its face , based on a
price of $1S per thousand feet for yellow
pine , and $18.50 for white pine , lilda from
reputable lumber dealers appear to Jinve
boun mudfi at or about the same time for
this same material at $14 for yelloiN- pine
and $14.'iO for white pine , and in ono case
the -white plno was offered at 15 cents per
thousand 'eet less * than the yellow plue , so
that in any computation to ascertain the
loss to the exposition on account of the use
of yellow pine Instead ot white pine It would
not seem to bo reasonable to estimate a
difference of more than 50 cents per thou
sand feet.
H Is stated that the wood work on tile la
goon remains unfinished. It would appear
that Superintendent Oeraldlne's explanation
of this should be accepted as reasonable , to-
wlt : That the openings shown on the work
are left for a class of construction not yet
determined upon by the executive commit
tee , and arc not Included In the > , vork paid
for.
SILENCE GIVES CONSENT.
The second cause for complaint against the
superintendent la in reference to the em
ployment of II. W. Tnmm as superintendent
of construction. The statement mudo to
your committee would Indicate that Super
intendent Gcraldlna u-as acting under the
tacit permission of the acting manager of
the Department of Ilulldlngs nnd Ground ? ,
If not of the executive committee In th's
matter , and your committee is of the opin
ion that If the executive committee Intended
to have cut Mr. Tamm off the list of em
ployes , It should have taken affirmative ac
tion to that effect , and that It did not do BO
would reasonably bo accepted by the super
intendent as tacit consent. Your committee
would not i-ndorsu this method of treating
such mattera , however , but realizes that
with n. number of .ho members of the ex
ecutive committee absent from the city on
biulness of thf exposition and otherwise
during a greater portion of the summer , It
was exceedingly dlflicult to transact thu
largo amount of business to be considered
and at the same tlmo attend to the private
business needing their can ; and attention ,
and abide by all the strict rules of the com
mittee In each CUSP.
The third cause for complaint Is that Su
perintendent Ger.ilillni- the contract for
a sewer amounting to JJr..3o ) without plans
or E-peclflpatlons and without bond. This
would appear to bo a transaction srowlng
out of the exigencies of the situation. The
statements1 made In reference to It Indicate
that ItMIS a piece of work which required
abouu ton days to complete. It was to beef
of the same general character as the city
sowers. The city sewer specifications would
govern. The letting of the contract was approve
proveby the executive committee. No pay
ment was to bo made until the work was
completed and accepted by the exposition ,
under which circumstances a bom ! would
not curry the weight that ordinary cntten
would mil for. The exposition could lose
nothing on account of the absence of the
bond , aa no payment was to be made until
the -work was satisfactorily completed. It
would appear to your committee that the
superintendent should have secured , at
least , the written approval or endorsement
of the manager of his department to the
Inttlni ; of a contract In this form before
putting It Into execution.
ISCONOMY IN DALV.
U Is charged that Mr. Daly was employed
previous to the letting of this sewer con
tract by the exposition at J5 per day us Inspector
specter , whllo illy Inspectors only received
$4 per day. It would appear , however , that
In the fo per day was IncluJul the use of
certain tools and thn use of a hor.'f and
wu oii , which Bavecl the expense of such
tools , etc. , to the exposition , und In fact
worked an economy. The pay rolls ap
pear to have shown this tilute of fnct upon
their fuee and were approved by the man-
nger of the department , Subsequent to the
construction of tlio newer Duly Is nald to
have been employed aa an Intpector at $1
per day. the regular rale , but while BO en
gaged WON ruklng up shaving * , etc. , In the
bottom of the lagoon , for which work the
contractors were belng'pald. It appears that
It was pile heads , etc. , which Daly was
cleaning1 up from the bottom of the lueonn.
which were put there by the exposition
Itsulf , and therefore not Included In tlio
work to be done by the wheel piling con
tractors , und , therefore , Daly was working
n u economy for the exposition In perform
ing mieh work and hardly subject to ceneuro
therefor.
The next cause for complaint Is on ac
count of changing the landscape plans of
the grounds. Manager Rosewuler with
draws this complaint , und It therefore does
not com ? within the scope of your cim-
mlttce'o labors.
The next cause for comn'ulnt Is ffrops necr *
llg-nco of duty In allowing n planing mll !
to IIP built in too clo.oa proximity to the
cxp'-sltlon buildings. It Undoubtedly well ! ' !
have boon avlso thins for th" superin
tendent to have called the attention of the
executive committee to thli matter ns so n
ns It came to hli nttcutloli , In brdtr that nn
attorney of the exposition might tnko strjw
to pn-vcnt ItB completion. It appears thnt n
proper permit wns Issued by the city oin-
cialEt , nnd your committee Is not advised as
to whether It wan within the power of the
exposition to prevent Its construction.
TAFFY FOIl MANAOKH8.
To uim up this controversy , your com
mittee' would make the following observa
tions :
A prodigious task hns bcCu undertaken by
the exposition organization. The time al
lowed for the consummation of Us plans Is
short. That ro much hns been accomplished
up to the present moment l. = i a marvel to
many , If not all. the directors.
The wavs ? nd means committee has
shown remarkable wisdom , care nnd cnprey
nnd I ho result ! ? are such ns to qulckpn the
enthusiasm of the most doubtful cltlr.eu.
The Department of Publicity and Promo
tion has ascompllshcd like niarVeloiuj re
sults. Our exposition Is the bept advertised
enterprise of Its kind , In the Judgment of
your committee , since the. World's Colum
bian exposition , oven If Its widespread no
toriety does not exceed thnt of that oxpo-
wltlon In the s.imo period of time.
The Department of Grounds nnd Buildings
has likewise accomplished a great amount
of work and has shown marvelous energy
In Its administration.
The Departments of Concessions , Privi
leges , Kxhlhltp , and In fact every depart
ment hns ? hoxvn such energy as to merit the
approbation of every friend of the exposi
tion. The amount of work done nnd the
rpsntlts accomplished would Impress fnlr-
mlndod men , In the Judgment of your com
mittee , With the thought that oven though
there may have arisen Internal differences
of opinion as to detail , that the work has
been well done nnd well administered as a
whole , and that It would bo a calamity to
be deplored that the organization which has
thus Car produced those results should bo
disturbed.
As Imllcatod In this report , there are un
doubtedly "methods In force at present that
might and should be Improved. All business
organization.1 * find the mme situation con
stantly. Through reforms Instituted under
such circumstances our civilization pro
gresses upward nnd In It our material
strength lies.
MILD CHASTISEMENT.
It appears from all the testimony sub
mitted to your committee that In his ad
ministration of the duties connected with
his employment Superintendent Oernldlnc
has not had that regard for the manager of
his department und for the executive com
mltteo that would scorn proper , by way of
submitting general Information concerning
the work to his manager and to the execu
tive committee through the manager , In or
der that the approval and omlorsament of
tile manager of the department might be
secured in advance of actual execution of
proposed detail ; but It would seCm thnt this
was a matter which could bo remedied for
the benefit of the service. If Superintendent
Geraldlne rpmnlns In the crpnlov of the PX-
pnsltlon hoshouIJ In al'casnadhero strl tly
to the rules of the department and the In
structions of the manager. The subordinate
employe should and oug-ht to be willing to
keep In close touoh with find report fully to
and act under clearly stated Instructions of
the department manager.
Wo are unable to discover any Indications
of dishonesty on the part of the superin
tendent or any employe connected with the
exposition , nnd believe the controversy to
bo one of misunderstanding of motives and
positive acts , which can readily be adjusted
In future transactions by a union of heart
and sentiment In tlio great work by nil , un
der the guiding wisdom of the executive
committee as n whole.
Your committee would extend Its inllucnce
In Its present relations as n cpeclal com
mltteo and recommends tlint such n result

GEOHGK F. HI DWELL.
THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE ,
After the reading of the report Mr. Rosewater -
water moved that It bo placed on. flic. This
was adopted , as was also a motion by Mr.
Reed , returning thanks tn the special com
mltteo for Its tabors.
After this had been done Mr. Rosewater re
marked that the report discredited every wit
ness except Gernldlne and Ignored com
pletely the most Important points brought
out by the testimony. lie said he would
bring the matter before the board of direc
tors and would also publish the evidence ,
so that the public might sod that Geraldlne's
admissions of manipulation were suniclen.t
to convict him without any further evi
dence. He charge ! ! ' that Geraldlnp's con
tradictious of his own testimony "and his
wilful missmtemenU while under exami
nation wcro enough to convict him of per
jury In any court In the land. Mr. Rose-
wetor continued to recall numerous Im
portant points which the committee had
failed to touch upon and referred to the
changes which had been made In the ground
plans of the bluff tract by Geraldlno. which
charge Mr. Rosewater said he had dismissed
before hu learned that Geraldlne had been
holding Ulrlch's resignation ; for two months
"
without the knowledge - of "any member of
the coirmlttcc.
In this connection President Wattles said
ho had ordered Gemldine to atop grading the
bluff tract , as It would coat $15.000 or $20.000
to make It level , and he said that Geraldlno
had stated at that tlmo that Ulrlch had
written him n letter saying he had de
cided to sever his connection with the ex
position entirely. Mr. Wattles said ho then
told Geraldlne to stop all < work In carrying
out Ulrlch's plan and remarked to Geraldlne
that some local part ? could probably bo se
cured to make a plan for this tract which
would be cheaper to execute. Mr. Wattles
denied most emphatically that ho had au
thorized or Instructed Gcraldlno to make
any now plan for the bluff tract , but de
tailed a few small changes ho had authorized
made In the way of preparatory grading ,
which 'were In the nature of omissions from
Ulrlch's plan.
PUBLIC OPJNION AGAINST IT.
Mr. Rosewater rather warmly denounced
the methods which had been pursued by
Gcraldlno and , declared that the court of
public opinion would not countenance such
open disregard of business principles as had
bpen admitted by Geraldlne on the witness
stand. Ho cited instances where Gcraldlno
had admitted buying largo lots of supplies
and materials on verbal orders 'without con
tracts or other written evidences of prices
or other necessary data and he charged that
such loose methods of doing business might
cause the loss of thousands of dollars. Mr.
Itosewater declared that Geraldlne was not
an expert In any sense of the word and was
no mere competent to conduct the affairs of
the exposition than hundreds of other men.
At this point Mr. Wattles Interjected the
remark that Geraldlno had saved the exposi
tion money by buying water pipe for $16.75
per ton , whereas the vrater company had said
that. It would cost at least $20 per ton ,
In reply to this Mr. Itosew&icr said that
the plpo purchased by Geralilino was such
rotten stuff that the water company would
never allow It to be unloaded If It was
shipped to them. Ho said that fully 20 per
cent of It was broken In shipment and that
pieces of It In hltf possession showed that It
was an exceptionally poor lot of stuff that
was dear at any prlco. He also charged that
" " Geraldlne and
the "specials" purchased by
landed on the exposition grounds , t'ae pieces
of plpo other than the long , straight plpo ,
were of a pattern and quality which had
been rejected by the water company four
teen years ago , anil which would not be used
by the water company under any clrctim-
t-tances , eo that the alleged saving affected
by Geraldlne was entirely Imaginary.
This discussion was continued for some
time , but no action was taken on the report
by the committee other than to place It on
tile.
OTHEIl MATTBHS CONSIDERED.
When regular business was resumed
President Wattled stated that the govern
ments of Ilollvla and China had accepted
the Invitations to participate In the exposi
tion , am ! the Costi Rica government had ex
pressed the hope that U would bo able to
participate ,
The secretary laid before the committee a
document which , ho said , had been handed
to him by Home- Moore with the request
that It ho presented to the commltteo. It
proved to bo a letter 'written by Mr , Moore
transmitting a petition , signed by a num
ber of the musicians of Omaha , entering a
vigorous protest against the appointment or
-confirmation of "one Mr , Rom in ell as musical
director o' the exposition. " As no appoint
ment of Mr. Rommell , or any other person
had been submitted to the committee , and as
the matter of the appointment of a musical
director had not been brought up , the pro
test was not considered.
Mr. Wattles reported that he had Investi
gated the question of city taxes on the prop
erty being ueed for the exposition grounds
and had found that the city authorities hail
no authority to rebate the taxes for this year ,
and he suggested that the only remedy
seemed to be for the management to pay
thesa taxes and to endeavor to have the next
hoard ot Equalization oi-.ilt or reduce thu
taxes on this property for next year , The
matter was referred to the Department of

All members except Uechel were prescnl
at the regular meeting of the city count * ! !
last night , but the lobby was tenanted only
by a dozen or so of moreor less Interested
spectators , who found little In the proceed
ings to repay them for their attendance. The
session wis entirely featureless and only
occupied an hour and a half.
Mayor Moored appointed Harry D. Heed
and John L. McCaguo as members of the
Hoard of Review to act with the tax com
missioner In equalizing the 1S97 assessment
and the appointments were confirmed with
out reference.
The resolution by which $1,000 was ordered
transferred from the General fund to the
sewer maintaining fund was vetoed by
Mayor Moorcs for the same reasons that In
duced him to veto the resolution making o
transfer to the flro fund at the previous
meeting. In this case the veto was sus
tained by a unanimous vote.
City Treasurer Edwards submitted a let
ter from the purchasers of the recent Issue
of renewal bonds , In which they stated that
tlit'Ir attorneys had reported favorably on
the bonds and suggested that the council
pes a resolution formally approving the sale ,
Keferred to the llnance committee and city
attorney.
The communication from Chief of Police
Gallagher complaining of the condition of the
loot of the barn connected with the city
jail was referred to public properly and
buildings.
THAT JAIL , CONTRACT AGAIN.
Irving Allison , who entered Into a con
tract last spring to erect a city Jail at Six
teenth and Leavcnworth streets , petitioned
the council for a further extension of the
tinio within which the building was to be
erected. He explained that up to this time
ho had found It Impossible to negotiate the
r.ccessary loan , but with the Improvement
of business conditions he hoped to bo able
to do so at an early date. The matter was
referred to public property and bulldlngo.
A communication from Treasurer Edwards
stated that ho would not make any transfers
from one fund to another , as It was his
opinion that it was an Illegal act for the
commission ot which he could be removed
from olllce. The communication was placed
on llle and on the recommendation of the
finance committee the ordinance transferring
$5.000 from the general to the lire fund to
pay September salaries wan placed on flic.
Ily the same action the comptroller was dl-
iccted to draw the warrants for these nal-
arlcs on the general fund Instead of the lire
fund. The appropriation ordinance was
amended In accordance with the report and
passed , all councilmen voting for < it under
the Impression that it was the regular ap
propriation ordinance. When the regular ur-
dlnance came up Immediately afterward they
began to debate It on the supposition that it
was the special ordinance and then someone
discovered that the ordinance they were
object/ing / to had already been passed.
lllngham moved to reconsider , but the mo
tion was lost by a tic vote and the ordinance
paying the firemen out of the general fund
was passed , when only four of tne members
present favored It.
Ordinances were also passed providing for
repaying Sherman avenue from Wire to Lo-
cubt streets , repavlng Twenty-fourth street
from Patrick avenue to "U'lrt street , and for
Issues of special district bonds to cover the
cost of paving Farnam and Center streets.
IX.SISTS IT WAS XOT IXJIAHITKIl.
Prof. Wlllluiii Mlilit-y HIIHnt ( JIiiiiiKcil
IliM VU-WM About the Menu.
Prof. William Llbbey ot Princeton uni
versity has furnished the Associated Press
with the following observations concerning
criticisms upon his recent work at the Meaa
Enoantada , N. M. :
"The main point in. the discussion of the
verity of t'ae ' myth in connection , with this
famous rock seems to have been left out
of account.
"After scaling the Mesa , last July I stated
that to my mtad It had not been Inhabited.
Mr. Hodge's pany went to the top in Sep
tember , and finding certain relics , main
tained that It' ' had been Inhabited. It seems
to me a great deal depends upon what Is
meant by the worcV Inhabited. A temporary
visit cannot In any ser-ae constitute such a
position a permanent residence. The calrn-
llko pile of rocks , which I am glad Mr.
Hedge so clearly decides Is a cairn. Is pos
sibly the best proof of a mere visit , for
even primitive people are not given to buildIng -
Ing cairns In their back yards. They con
struct them to commemorate some visit or
feat , and such a monument I believe this
ono to be ; but my travels In the west and
southwest for more than twenty years have
taught me caution , since I have lour.d many
similar piles In that region which were diul
only to erosion.
" 'If a village or permanent residence had
ever existed on the top of the Mesa , all
traces of It have been completely obliter
ated. ' was the answer given by .Mr. Hedge
to an Intelligent citizen of that part of the
country , to a direct question upon this sub
ject , shortly after his climb. If so , why try
to construct a technical proof of Inhabita
tion , blued upon the finding of a few relics.
I am sorry that Mr. Hcdgo tins not made
any statement over his own signature , for I
cannot Impute to him the Ideas advanced
by some of his friends , who have appeared
In print to attack us , as for example : In
the early summer It was stated that two
years ago he had tried to make the
ascent , but was unsuccessful , because of the
precipitous character of the rocks , which
aoems quite reasonable , in view of even his
experience this summer. Hut It Is now
stated that he refrained from going to the
top at that tlmo out of regard for the super
stitions of the Acoir.as. It appears , however ,
according to ono friend , that after my atro
cious attack upon their myth the Aconias
were cnly too glad to have him go to the
top , because ho could give an authoritative
opinion upon the subject. According to an
other friend some of these same Acomas
appeared upon the Up of the rock while he
was there by using Ills ladders , and were
quite enlmlMl at first , hut'wero soothed by
coffee and ciher agencies ,
"Strangely enough , most of the things
were found after these men had been al
lowed to wander about upon the top of the
rock. I sincerely hope that some safeguard
was taken to prevent thler throwing sus
picion upon the various flnds ; but from
the loort it Bcems such was not the case ,
since thny were allowed to find thlngii up
there when away from the white men. I
cannot believe that an acute archaeologist
like Mr. Hodto would tolerate such a pro
cedure , It U aiso noteworthy that Mr. Hodge's
friends do not mention the finding ot u
single relic by himself.
"Mr. Hedge does not appear to have con
vinced several of the white citizens of the
region , who have held and now hold posi
tions of honor and trust in these Pueblos ,
that the Mesa was over Inhabited. Their
opinions are certainly worthy cf soma weight
an evidence , and when they dcEerluo the
myth as a pure dream , after a residence of
many years in the country , I am Inclined
frm the facts which I was able to observe
upon the tci. ) of the Mesa gull to believe that
while ( ho top may have been visited , no
evidence exists at present of Its ever having
been permanently Inhabited ,
"The existence of that rat H > on the top
of the rock seems to have foubled name
pet { > lo ; to tnu It Is oislly explained by the
existence ! of birds' nests and eggs In abun
dance upon the rocks.
"My Investigation hag been criticised as
being tco cursory to admit of Its helm ; thor
ough , and that 1 wan driven off by a thunder ,
storm ; hut my cilt a seem to ftrget that my
apparatus was Etlll In place and In good |
order the no it day , and nothing would have
bo'-n easier then to have gone up th--re again.
If It were thought either necessary or profit
able. In vlow of the main problem In
volved I. e. . had It ben Inhabited 1 did
not thin' * It tiecf'sary to go hick again , a
the surface of the rock convinced mo on
this point.
"I picked up Homo fragment ! ) which rcscm-
bled ancient pottery , hut could not pc'stude
mysdt that they were. I took them to Mr.
Pe.ircc , and ho agreed with me that they
were not pottery.
"The shell bracelet might also bo taken
aa a proof of a comparatively recent visit ,
for It certainly could not have withstood the
atttacks ot the climate for any very long
period of time.
"I also found several pieces of pottery at
the biso ot the Mesa , not only near the
amphitheater where Mr. Hoilgo evidently
made his climb , but also at other points
around the base ; but these only Indicated
the possible visit cither to the top or the
base of some of the natives. As such relics
have been repeatedly found In this position
before I did not think It Important enough
to mention.
"It Is hardly necessary , I think , to state
that persouil abuse docs net enforce an
argument , but rather tends to weaken the
position of the man who makes use of It.
I am as anxious as any one to atrlvo nt a
serious and tight-minded solution of such
P'oblcms ; but I am wholly unprepared to
ilsscend to quibble over doubtful Items. !
am prepared at any tlmo to admit that I
was wrong In my Interpretation of the facta
I saw , It sufllclent and proper arguments
are produced , and 1 do not think It Is asking
too much of those who oppose my opinions
to meet mo In the same fair spirit.
"As long as thn main question Is kept In
vlow I. e. , was the Mcsi ever Inhabited ?
I think I am warranted In answering it In
the negative , for I have not yet seen any
proof which would establish anything more
than the evidence of n temporary visit.

lint \Vn * llrou/flit / to n Hull ,
Several years ago no man was better
known on thn frontier of South Dakota than
General C. T. Campbell , who was sent to the
territory In the 'COd by President Uttchanan
as Inspecting officer of the United States
army. Campbell had been severely wounded
and his trip west was more to recuperate
than for actual duty. He had a good war
tecord , having ecrvcd throughout the Mexi
can campaign , and ho was the moat accom
plished swearer that ever came west. Ho
nettled on the 'Missouri ' river about sevcnty-
flvo miles above YanV.ton , relates the New
York Sun , where ho maintained a ranch and
wayside Inn , patronized almost wholly by
freighters , army ofllclals and frontiersmen.
Ho was not tough , but ho carried this Im
pression until It came to bo believed that ho
would as soon kill a man as eat Ms break
fast.
Campbell had a habit of telling the guests
who honored his house with their presence
that they could have anything they wanted
to oat , but when they called for anything
he did not have he would inform them that
ho was not running a Uelmcnlco restaurant ,
and that they would have to take what they
could get and be thankful.
One evening a stranger came along who
was traveling for a Chicago house. He was
a tenderfoot , Inasmuch a. ? he had never been
so far west before. Campbell rated him up
as a dude , he afterward said , and asked him
what ho wanted to cat , after he- hail been
seated with a dozen or more frontlemmen.
"What have you for supper ? " asked the
newcomer.
"What have I got to cit ? Why , I've got
any d rt thing you want , " replied the gen
eral , "and you had better bo quick -about de
ciding what you do want. I can't keep the
cook up all jjjght waiting for a d d dude
to llnd out what he Is going to eat. "
"All right , landlord , " said the traveler ,
"bring me some dog and coflce. "
There was a smile nil round the table , as
the ranchers recognized the probability ot a
row between the general and the now man.
"Dog , " yelled the general , and ho walked
around to the opposite Bide ot the table ,
where ho could look his guest squarely In
the face. "Dog , did you say ? Do you take
mo for a Sioux Indian ? "
At that moment , when the general was
working himself Into a rage , a sudden
thought occurred to him.
"You want dog. do you ? I thought you
wcro a tenderfoot , but I see you are an In
dian ; I'll flx you. " With that ho strode out
of the room , curt'hig like a pirate , while
everybody laughed at him for the joke the
stranger had perpetrated.
Presently Campbell returned carrying a
largo dish covered with a cloth , which ho
set down In front of his guest. In his
right hand ho carried a big revolver , and
while he removed the cloth with ono hand
ho covered the stranger with the revolver In
the other hand. The cloth being removed , a
litter of puppies was found sleeping In the
dish.
"Now , young man , you see that there is
nothing that this house cannot supply at
a moment's notice. You wanted dog and
now you must eat. "
The general had realized that some ono
had perpetrated a. joke on him and ho
thought to turn It on the stranger , but the
young man from the oaat was equal to the
emergency. Without appearing to take no-
tlco of the big pistol or the general's threat
ho carefully reached over , selected the best
looking puppy and began to prod it with his
fork , and In apparent seriousness tried to
cut Into the animal with his knife. The
general's hand became very shaky. After
several trials tlm stranger called for an oil
stone , and with the greatest deliberation pro
ceeded to sharpen -the knife. Still the knife
was not sharp enough , and grumbling at the
hotel which provided such dull knlve , the
stranger reached In his pocket and drew out
his own pocket knife. A smile overspread
his face &a ho remarked that "It was more
than a week since he had had any dog ; "
