Jhn Hoard of Flro and Police Commission-
* r rendered a decision yesterday In the
* lx cases In which the protests of K. Rosewater -
water against the Isnuanco of licenses were
heard Friday. The protests were for the
reason that the applicants l.oil been violat
ing the Slocurn law by sclHng liquor without
n license since January 1 > Substantial proof
of the allegation was submitted In each In-
nUnce nnd was not contradicted. But this
morning when the board convened Commis
sioner Gregory stated that the protest * were
overruled and the licenses ordered granted.
Mr. Hoscwatcr Immediately gave notice
that ho would take an appeal In each In
stance , and In this connection he vigorously
arraigned the board for Its evident deter
mination to close Its eyes to the plain pro
visions of the law. Here Is ft verbatim re
port of the proceedings on this point :
Commissioner Gregory The protests are
overruled and licenses are ordered Issued.
You can lnvo your notice of appeal entered.
Mr. Uosewatcr Mr. President , and gentle
men of the beard : I give notice of appeal
In each ofthese cases that have been de
cided by your board , wherein tlio protest
Jllcd by myself Is overruled , and I want en
tered Incidentally a remonstrance , a most
emphatic remonstrance , against the course
which this board Is pursuing In the promises.
The Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners
Is not a law uiito Itself.
Commissioner Gregory The gentleman
will please take his seat. This Is a court
end you have your remedy by appeal. We
will not listen to nny remarks upon cases
clrertdy submitted unless you wish to present
something which we as a board would have
cognlanco of. We would aiot have any cog-
nlztnce of nn oral protest and we cannot
hear It. Please take your scat , Mr. Hose-
water.
Mr. Hcaowator Then I will Insert the re
marks In the case that Is now to bo tried.
Commissioner Gregory Yes.
Mr. Slmcral What Is tlie next cnsc ?
Mr. Welshans ( Clerk of the Hoard ) The
first case In order will bo James King , case
No , 30.
GIVEN LEAVE TO TALK.
Mr. Hosowater I want to Insert In that
case. If It can ho done , an additional
remonstrance.
Commissioner Gregory Tlie board has not
ruled upon that. If you have any legal
reason to suggest to the board why Its flnd-
Ins in the former casca Is wrong we will
hear you , Mr. Hosewater. We will hear
anybody patiently with regard to a proposi
tion of law.
Mr. llosewator Then I will now present
my reasons why ( tils board should not over
rule the protest cri ] remonstrance filed hereby
by myself. First and foremcBt. the Hoard or
Flro and Police Commissioners ere servants
of the people. They are appointed to super
vise the grunting of excise and to see to .It
that the laws as they ore found on the
statute book.i arc properly executed To say
that they can create uny law c.r overrule any
existing law would be to assume that they
are a higher power than any court In the
titato , barring the supreme court.
Commissioner Gregory We have primary
jurisdiction in the determining of a proposi
tion Mr. Hosowater. We would have the
same power primarily that any other court
wct'ld or possibly could have. Now the
simple question Is this , Mr. Hosewater. and
wo would like to hoar you upon It If you
3'avo any law , that Is , where a party is en
titled to a license but for a protest : has
tmade his application In time ; has paid his
inonoy Into the treasury ; that but for the
protest which lias been withdrawn the license
would have issued at the time the application
was made , and the time had arrived for Its
Issuance ; tliat everything that the applicant
could do had been done and It was neither
In his fault or wrong that the license did
not Issue at the time that he was entitled to
It. The question Is whether by reason of a
wrongful protest he shculd bo deprived of that
which in law lie was entitled to. Now we
will hear you on that proposition.
LAW IS VEHY PLAIN.
Mr. Hosowater I want to say to your
board that there Is no law In this state
Krantlng to anybody the privilege of Belling
Ilauor , but on the contrary the supreme
court of Nebraska has time and again ruled
th'it this la to all Intents and purposes a
jiroblbl'.lon stale , that Is , the sale of liquor
Is not permitted except under certain con-
dl'ions , Thcso conditions are prescribed In
tbe law providing for the regulation of the
sale or liquor. .NOW tnat law expressly pro
vides that no person ahull either give away
cr sell liquor unless ho has n licence , and
no board and no court can rule with that
law In Its face that that nerson
lias any rlsht or tltlo to sell
lliuor until after he has procured
Ills license. Now , let us assume that
a party Is In Rood fait'.i with regard to all
this and n remonstrance W.IE entered here ,
for Instance by people rwldlng In the neigh
borhood where his saloon Is to bo estab
lished by him , cither desiring that locality
free from the sale of liquor , or the person
proposing to locate there may bu offensive ,
or there may bo a school house there ; does
this b'ard contend t'.iat the more applica
tion nnd the filing that the fllliiK of the
application and the filing or a receipt from
the trrosuror that the imney had bern
deposited would entitle that party to sell
liquor until after tile board had acted , and
until the license had been granted. Now
assume , If you please , that the party who
lias made application for selling liquor for
the year 1S9S llnds himself barred , as ho
undoubtedly Is by the violation of the law ,
would any ouo contend that he cannot with
draw his money from the treasury today ?
Then you have allowed him to sell liquor for
two weeks without any payment whatever ,
nnd In violation of the law. and you assume
to Hay that a man. because ho claims good
faith , and for sonic reason or another has
failed to bring In his papers and have them
acted upcn by the 1st of January , has a right
to procenJ with the sale of liquor unlaw
fully and without a license , because ho has
Kood Intentions. There Is no moro right In

JtmismmoN OF TUB BOARD.
Commissioner Gregory Let me
It has been the Imperative rule of this
not to consider or take up any application
for a license until all the pre-rcqulsltcs have
been complied with. We would not listen to
an application until the money was paid
Into the treasury , notice given as required
by law , and a good bond on file. Now , we
hold that this board has not jurisdiction of
the subject matter until all these conditions
were complied with.
Mr. Hosewater And after they are com
piled with , then the board still has no juris
diction to grant a license If a protest la
filed here , showing that the person has violated
lated the law In 1S9S. Why does not the
bonnl say today to those who have not filed
their applications In good faith , you close
up ? Yet there are In this city , whether the
police know It or not , the record shows It ,
cases whcro the application has been filed
and no money paid In. I say
the action of this board In re
gard to this matter , ruling that any one
who flies his application , accompanied with
the money , by the 1st of January cr be
fore , has a right to go on selling whel'jqr
the board grants a license or not. Is In ccti-
trnventlon of all the decisions of the courts ,
In contravention or law. and creates a new
departure In administering Justice through
this board. There never has been such a
ruling before by this body. I have been be
fore all the boards. The first board created
by Mayor Iloyd , and the president of the
city council , and the clerk of the city , was
the first oxclao board , aud from that date
to this members have been adverse , so far
as The Bee la concerned , and sometimes In
dividuals personally hostile , but no beard
has ever made such a ruling. Whenever a
protest has be n filed showing a person has
violated the law , whether It was selling
liquor without a license , or with a license ,
on Sunday or after midnight , the boards have
considered It , where the evidence has been
conclusive , and they have cither refused the
license or revoked II. That Is In my Judg
ment the duty of this board. Maybe I am
mistaken , but I want to enter that Vrotest.
And I dcslro to add that the ruling of this
board on the last remonstrances Is wholly
without foundation of law and contravenes
every decision of the courts , district and
supreme court. No man can sell liquor
without a license , because in this state no
man has a right to sell It. I will now yield
the matter.
Some further colloquy ensued ana then the
board proceeded to hear the evidence hi a
number of additional cases. This was ex
actly similar to that which was offered yes
terday. It wan proved by competent testi
mony that the applicant In each case was
selling as usual and that he had no license
for 1S9S. The attoni3ys who represented the
applicants ) made no effort to attack Uio evi
dence and apparently relied on the sympa
thies of the beard to win their cases.
Complaint was sworn out in the police
court yesterday , charging Fritz Uloemer , 1COt
hoavcnworth street , with soiling liquor with
out a llcenae. Blcemer was arrested at 5:30 :
and released on his own recognizance. A
protest had been filed against iiloemer's ap
plication before the llconao board , which us
overruled by that beard. A teat case will bo
made of this and < If conviction follows ; n the
district court Bloemer will be barred from
securing a llccnso In the year 13S. ! )
The trial of the case was set this mornlns
by Judge Gordon for next Friday , January
21 , at 2 p. m. Bloemer , as soon as released
lost night , at once returned to his saloon and
continued the selling of liquor. Arother
warrant lodging the same etoarge against him
was sworn out this morning by Mr. Kcfie-
wntcr. Ho was arrested the secoiU time this
afternoon.

CoiiiptnilliT WcHtliiTK'.s HiMiurftt to lie
I'ri-Ki'iitcil ( o the 'Council. '
Comptroller Westberg Is preparing a
recommendation to the council , In which he
asUs that steps bo taken to put the special
district bonded accounts on the books in'
such a manner that each of the 1,800 did-
trlcts shall constitute a separate account.
Up to this time the comptroller's books have
shown the aggregate of the warrants issued
against grading districts , street improve
ment districts , etc. , and also the aggregate
sinking fund , but the accounts have never
been Itemized to show exactly the conditioner
or each district. Under the resolution by
which the treasurer is required to pay items
of Interest on bonds only on a warrant duly
drawn and executed , It becomes essential
that the comptroller , as well as the treas
urer , should know the exact condition of
each special fund. As nearly al ! the special
districts are bonded , it will require 3,300
distinct accounts to keep the bond and - warrant
rant records in addition to the present
recoids of the office. Comptroller Westberg
says that It will be absolutely Impossible to
do this work with his present ofllce force
and that 1C the council sees lit to malic the
clianse on extra bookkeeper will bo Indis
pensable. In his opinion the change Is ab
solutely necessary if a proper check Is to
bo maintained on the special funds and It
represents the last of the various Improve
ments In the methods of the office which he
determined on from the beginning. With
an accurate record of these funds the treas
urer's books might be burned or stolen and
the city would still have an absolutely com
plete record of every financial transaction.

Quito a number of special permits have
recently Issued by the city council
which allow the erection of cheap corrugated
Iron buildlnzs In various parts of the city
for use during the present year. Demands
for these favors are accumulating and some
of the councllnipn suggest that if the present
system U continued the city Is likely to be
overrun by these structures. Slost of the
buildings are for use as restaurants and It
is asserted that they are nece.'sary if the
city Is to feed all Its visitors during the
summer. The applicants say that every
storeroom In the city which is available for
this purpose is now occupied and thnt tem
porary structurea offer the only mcaiis of
adding to the present resources. The per
mits contain a provision that the buildings
ravst to torn down before January 1. 1899 ,
and Building Inspector IJutler says that he
will see that this clause Is rigidly enforced.
Critic ill Ili-llillluv Tor SclionlM.
A' new feature has been Introduced In the
curriculum of the public schools 'which Is
designed to give the pupils a taste for
literature In connection with the regular
reading exorcises. It consists In reading a
book aloud In each room with such comments
and Information as may suggest themselves
and the pupils are encouraged to comment
and criticise the style and diction of the
author. The flrnt book to bo read In this
manner Is Edward Everett Halo's "A Man
Without a Country , " and one copy of this
book has been sent to each school. It will
be passed down from ono room to an
other , in the expectation that Interest In the
book will precede It and that It will bo
discussed In advance by the classes which
have not yet received It.

The trnnsmlssonrl states arc not to b
denied the benefits that accrue from th
fcomeneokcrs' excursions at reduced rates dur
Ing the remainder of the winter. Though the
lines east of the Missouri river have declde <
to discontinue the practice of granting re
duced rates for homeseekers' excursion
during the months of January , February am
March , the lines west of the river will con
tlnuo to offer rates of one faro plus $2 for
the round trip on the first and third Tuesday
of February and March and on the thin
Tuesday In January , as was the original In
lentlon.
Announcement of the continuance of the
homeseekers' excursion rates was made hero
yesterday by the Union Pacific , the Dur
llngtcci , the Elkhorn and the Hock Islam
railroads. Too rates will be offered to al
points In Nebraska , Kansas , Utah am
Idaho and to certain territory In Colorado
Wyoming and Oregon. The rates will appl >
from Omaha and other points on the Mis
sourl rivet. The decision of the eastern
committee of the Western Passenger Asso
elation will prevent the rates being offtxec
from points cast of the Missouri river.
Tlrls settlement of a controversy that his
been waged for more than a. month by the
passenger men of the Western Passenger
association has been brought about largely by
the free latico policy of the Kansas City
PHtsburg & Gulf and the 'Missouri ' , Kansas
& Texas railroads. When the Western Pas
senger association decided to call oft the
homcseekers' excursions for the remalnjur o
the winter the Port Arthur and the "Katy1
lines announced that that they would con
tinue tdio homeseekers' excursions to al
points on their lines , the decision of the
Western Passenger association to the cm
trury notwithstanding. The argument of tfco
passenger ofllclals of these lines was t ! the
winter months offered the very best opportu
nities for the travel of the prospective eet-
tlers Into southern territory.
When the action of the southern lines that
so frequently act Independently of the asso
ciation agreements became known to the pas
senger otnclals of t'oo transmlssourl railroads
the latter decided to protect this section ol
the west against competition by keeping In
the rotoa that were at first agreed upon anc
later withdrawn. Therefore the annauac-j-
ment that the trai nmissourl lines would keep
In the ihomcaeekers' excursions rates during
January , February and March was made till ;
morning. It Is believed that this action wil
bring many prospective settlers to look ovei
western homesteads dur'ns ' the next lev ,
months , and It la certain that many of ihcso
settlers would have gene southward If the
southern Hoes had been the only ones to
maintain the homcseekors' excursion rates
during the winter. The full benefit of the
excursions to the west will not be fell , lioiv-
over , because the lines cast of the Mlieour !
river decline to put In the reduced rates.
llIUUvKKS MAKI3 A FIGHT.
I2iiriiitll > " Opposi- the I'IINMIIKC of the
Autl-Soiilprr Mill.
Passenger ofllcials and ticket brokers are
eagerly watching the progress of the hearing
on the antUscalpIng bill now In progress in
congress. There is unusual Interest io the
proceedings and much speculation as to the
outcome of the fight for and against the anti-
scalplng bill by the passenger men an3 the
ticket brokers respectively. The railroaders
appear confident that the bill will be passed
and the ticket brokers say that It It dees
become a law the matter will be tested In the
courts and every effort made to have such a
law declaied unconstitutional.
A vigorous fight is admitted to be on and
both sides are straining every nerve to win
out. A number of the western passenger men
have written strong articles In favor of an
antl-scalplng bill and these have appeared
In pamphlet form. Most of these are being
used by General Passenger Agent Daniels
and the other railroad leaders In their fight
for the law. The scalpers of Omaha and
other leading cities have each contributed $40
to aid In the fight agatast the bill and thou
sands of copies of papers containing edi
torials against the passage of an antl-scalplng
bill have been purchased and sent to Wash
ington.
A now phase of the controversy has re
cently developed. The scalpers are making
an effort to break up the system of market-
testing , followed by detectives In the employ -
ploy of the local agencies of the Western
Passenger association. The Interstate Cora-
mcrce commission provision makes the re
cipient of a cut rate as guilty or violation
of the law as the person offering it. The
scalpers now argue that If the nntl-scalplug
bill becomes a law they will hnvo every
sjwtter In the employ of the passenger cn-
sociatlons arrested for violation of the lawj
by accepting cut-rate tickets. The paEsen-
Eer men answer this threat by saylcg that
If the scalpers' business is declared Illegal
there will be no necessity for further tests
of the ticket market by spotters , but know
ing once ; declare that the ticket agents
would not all be good and llvo up to tariff
regulations if the association spotters were
withdrawn from the field.

first announcement of the results of his
trip to The Uee yesterday :
In an Interview ho said : "Tho main Idea
In my trip hero at this time Is to secure
co-operation between the cattle raisers of
Oregon and the cattle feeders end the stock
yards mon of Nebraska. Wo raise cattle
that cannot be excelled In America , and we
are raising lots of them. They have to bo
fed somewhere and sent to some stock
yards. Nebraska might as well feed them ,
and the South Omaha stock yards might
as well handle them as not. As It Is a
good part of the Oregon cattle come here ,
but there wight bo more.
"It U with this Idea in mind that I have
induced a number of prominent men of < hta

the cattle growers of Oregon , Washington ,

of a traffic arrangement has been entered

Tlo Grande Western , the Oregon Short Line ,
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company and
the Great Northern , which will open up a
channel heretofore closed between this part
of the country and that touched by the Great
Northern. This deal will remain effective
is long as that great portal widely known
as the Ogden gateway remains open to
ransportation. Heretofore the close alliance
jetwecn the Northern Pacific and the Hur-
Ington at Billing , 'Mont. , and the Inck of an
arrangement between the roads forming the
Ogden route has tended to throw most of
ho castbound tratllc from Oregon and Wash *
ngton to the Northern Pacific. By the now
arrangement , however , a largo percentage
of this business will go through Ogden over
ho various lines connecting with the Ulo

necessity , come through i Colorado ,
