POLICE ENTITLED TO PASSES Court Holds thatOoppenDtMne the Trans portation Facilities , JUDGE SUBAUGH RULES ON ONE POINT * < ! the Demnrrer Set Up In the ! ! Cane * d IloUU thnt Po licemen and Firemen Should Ride Free. , The court ba * held that Henry P. Haze , wptaln of the police force , did not violate or city ordinance or state law when ho accepted a pan entitling him to free rldea upon the lines of the OnMba Street Railway company. At the last session of the legislature a law WBS passed regulating the pass question nd decreeing that city tfllclals should not acccrt passes and be allowed to ride free. Come of the policemen had their own Ideas concerning the constitutionality of the law. Haze Is one of these men and to teet the law. some time ago he accepted a pass and then had himself arrested. The case was called In the district court , Haze being ar raigned on an Information that charged him with the violation of a stole law. His at torney demurred to the Information , alleg ing that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. In arguing the demurrer all of the questions were raised nd It was upon tbo matters brought out in argument that Judge Slabaugh passed. In sustaining the demurrer. Judge Sla- fcauzh saj'8 that according to his view of the law , there is a great dlf- fcrenco between the term "city officials" and "officials of the city. " The for mer means parties who are clothed entirely with authority derived from ordinances of the city , while officials of the city might be those who have authority to act , not only under city , but under the provisions of the state law as well. "Careful research of authorities shows ttiat they are unanimous In holding that po lice officers are officers of the state , and not olely of the municipality where they servo , , " ays Judge Slabaugh. "Under the provisions of the statutes of most states , Nebraska In cluded , they are clothed with the fame power te constables , sheriffs and other peace offi cers. No person will argue that because a sheriff Is elected by the voters of one par ticular county , that be Is not a peace officer for the entire state. Thla being true , and the duties of policemen being similar to tbose of sheriffs , there Is no valid reascu why their authority to act should be limited to the city whoretn they walk their beats. Their duty la general , and It In to maintain the peace of the state and suppress crime. " LETTEH AND SPIRIT OF LAW. Going farther Into the authorities , Judge SlatauEd holds that while Uio supreme premo court has not passed squarely upon the police question It has pasred upon a question of a like nature , ono that Involves firemen , and In that case It la held that firemen are officers of the state In this that while they are regarded as servants of the city , they derive their power and authority from the state law and not from any special legislation as applied to the government of the affairs of municipali ties. ties.Regarding Regarding thp'pplrlt of the law. the court toys that In his judgment It Is not the In tention of the legislators to make It apply to officers of a. city , but Instead they intended that It should apply to city officials ; men who had favors that they might glvo In return for such courtesies no free passes. In many reppects It Is an Injustice to compel policemen and firemen to pay their fare , 3. they are men whose whole JjUSfmrttrtTto J te pubMsu.iui JSClUs-prKute Interests. Policemen caAnnf be expecteJ toown | horsco and rldo them over "their beats , nor can they be expected to Jump on a car and pay their faro every tlmo they receive a call to report at some remote part of the city. In qrder to test the law and secure a final dec'slan , It Is'probable that an appeal to the supreme court will bo taken. The police and firemen want a final decision , and eo do the street railway people. The former want It In order that they may know how far their right ? extend In the premises , and the street railway people want It that they may know Just what city officers are entitled to re ceive passcBs in Uie event that they are of fer * d. d.PRESIDENT PRESIDENT MURPHY SURPRISED. President Frank Murphy of the Street Railway company , hoa just returned from Now York , and when asked at noon what action the company would take , In reference to the decision of Judge Slabaugh that the anti-pass law does not hold In the case of police officers , Mr. Murphy expressed surprise and raid It was the first ho had heard of the decision. As yet there had been no con ference of the offlccre of the company In re gard 16 the matter and no decision has been made as to what coureo will bo pursued. GnrliitKeHiialeri Win In Court. In Judge Fawce-tt'e court Warren M. Fleck nd a dozen other garbage haulers have won a victory over Alexander MacDonald , the man who boldo the garbage contract with the clly. Lafit year , when Judge Keyeor was upon the equity bench , through the Instrumentality ot MacDonald , Flock and the other garbage haulers ot the city were arrested , charged with hauling without'a permit. Then an In junction waa secured , restraining them from carrying ou their work. They continued to haul , and they were called In to answer to the charge ot contempt ot court , It being alleged that they bad violated an order of the court. In the change of dockets lat > t January , this particular case came to Judge Fawcctt , where It has been argued during the Met few daje. In passing upon the case , Judge Fawcctt ordered the release ot the defendants , holding that the proof did not how but that the parties charged had the consent ot MacDonald to carry on their work. ' Judge Fawcctt criticised the grabage system contending that It was a vicious monopoly , run In the Interest ot one man. i Und at February Term.

SlnbnnKh I'nuoen on Three Ap peal H from the Excluc llonrd , Judge Slabaugh has passed upon the cases wherein remonstrances were filed against Is- ulng druggist llcenecs to S. S , Lanyon and W. J. Shradcr , and a saloon license to Fritz Bloemer. He affirms the decision of the Fire and Police commission In the Lanyon and lloemer cases and ordered that the licenses asue. In the Shrader case he reverses the ire and Police comtnlaslon and denies the Icense. In the case against Schrader , It waa al- eged that as a druggist the applicant for a Iccnee had eold Intoxicating liquors as .1 beverage. On this point there Is the testi mony of two men who swore that they bought Iquor one Sunday evening during last Dc- : ember. This Surader denies , but the court lolds Idat the burden of proof Is upon him to show that ho has not violated the law. In the case of the Tempnstranco against Is suing a druggist's permit to S. S. Lanyon , ho charge before tbe Fire and Police com mission waa that 4hei applicant for llcpn g. old IntoxIcatlo , , jQa3rafi.a ; feifcrSge. The lift fcaids that on the hearing of the case , his question was not raised , the argument > elng that be Jailed to register , as required by law. There la no evidence , the co\irt saye , that liquor was unlawfully said by the applicant. ' "i Pacelng/on the case against Fcltz Bloemer , fudge Slabaugh says that the argument was advanced that' the applicant sold beer prior o the time of receiving his license from .he Board of Fire and Police Commlesloaer.s. This , he contends , the defendant doe.s not deny , but In mitigation msl&ts that be had made hli application , died hla bond and paid his money , doing all that was required of him. If lucre Is any person or persons to ilamo for the delay > ln tbe Hsue of the Icense , the members of the board were the ones who were responsible. Exceptlcna were taken In all three of the isert and It U llkoly that they will be ap pealed. IlaltlrlKc File * a. Demurrer. Seme .weeks ago Frank Bt Johnson , W. H. rohrson and Charles A. Sharp , officers cf the Midland State bank , defunct , were called before Judge Scott , on the chirge of fraudulent tanking and receiving deposits iftcr their bank was Insolvent. They were icld to answer before the Judje of the crlml- jal section of the district court. Later on .hey file ] a plea In abatement , contending that owing to the fact that ho was a judge of the equity section of the district court , Judge Scott had no jurisdiction as en exam- nlng magistrate. To th' plea. County At torney Baldrlgo baa filed a demurrer , In which he alleges that the Midland bank oltt- cla's have not eet up aMe-gal defense. Judg ?

William LaRuo Is a federal prisoner at the , city jail , the charge against htm being the manufacture and circulation of counterfeit tickets and twenty-flvc-cent pieces. The man was arrested by a police officer at the In- 'tlgatlon ' of Mrs. Joseph Johnson of 1515 Cumlng street , who complained that LaRue had Insulted her. At the central station _ were taken away from him , together witli two genuine nickels and as many good quarters of the leue of 1S97 , from the pat- erna of which the counterfeit money had > een moulded. The upurlous coins were secreted In the lining of a pair of panto over which LaRue wore another pair of trousers. The counterfeiter made no attempt after ils apprehea-jlon to deny that bo was Im plicated in this sort of lawlessness ; on the other hand , he made a clean breact of the whole affair. LaRue has been working on the farm of a man named Abrams. which Is located on ho Elkhorn river , near Elk City , in Douglas county. He says he made several pieces of the money oa the farm , but denies that 10 circulated any of them , claiming that he had coly been experimenting in the manu. acturo of coins. When he came to Omaha n his employer's wagon , a few hours before his arrest , he was accompanied by a negro , whom the police are now trying to locate. . LaRue told the authorities where the moulds and other counterfeiting apparatus the farm could be found , and this after noon Special Agent Donnella , of the United States secret service , went out there to con fiscate the property. The prisoner is an Intelligent man about IB years of age. Ho has been separated from its wife many years and saye lie docs not know whether she Is living or dead. Two of his children live In Iowa and the other one Is with hla mother in Nebraska. The coins that were taken away from the pris oner are deceiving counterfeits and well made. The federal authorities do not think .hat LaRue h > : o any associates la tha counterfeiting business and there Is no Indi cation that the spurious mcney he has been making has been circulated to any notice able extent In Omaha or the immediate vicinity. LaRue had a hearing 'before ' 'United 7 States Commissioner Anderson yesterday afternoon , waived examination and -was leld to the federal grand Jury In the sum of $500 , in default of which he went to Jail. _ UXSt'C'OKSSKUI * UUIIGLAR CAUGHT.

Being a pensioner of the government Mr. Patterson drew his quarterly pension on April 10. which fact , It Is asserted , McElvane was aware of.

AltnOR DAY AXD TIII2 SCHOOLS. \ebrnnkn Holiday thnt CliniiKC" Prlnrlc * to'Itaflky Dellm Next Friday the school children and not a few of the olded people of Ne- iraska will celebrate Arbor Day , and In nearly every school In the state the children are now preparing some program of special observance to mark the occasion. State Superintendent Jackson has Issued a very tandsome pamphlet that serves the double iurposo of affording all necessary Informa- tlon In regard to the day and Its purposes and furnishing the schools with a sufficient amount of material from which to select ap proprlato programs for the occasion. The book Is particularly creditable from an artls. tlo otandpolnt , In view of the beautifully Colored engravings which ornament the cov- ers. These are really works of art and deserve preservation. The title cover Is occupied by a picture of a passenger pigeon and the delicate colors of his breast and neck are depicted with starting accuracy. The back cover shows an equally well ex ecuted engraving ot Bob White , and the position of the bird la so naturally taken that- one almost listens to hear his ringing w.hfcjtle as he stanas with one foot uplifted on a patch of greensward. The Buperln- tendeat also suggests tiiat Bird day be cele brated together with Arbor day , and as' Nebraska has more distinct species ot birds than any other state In the union , this offers an unlimited opportunity for Instructive ex ercises. The celebratlwi of Arfcor Day has become one of the mo.'t Interesting fctaures of ths Omaha * .schools and nearly every piece of scKo6rpropcrty ; Tn"l e-eiy ! hears -JHiuievouii handsome trees , which represant the efforts of the teachers ani , pupllai to beautify their surroundings. During the last few yearn from fifteen to fifty trees-have beta planted around each scboolhouse ao a result ot the Arbor day celebrations , and In many c&aca the improvement that has resulted Is strik ing. The Lake and Walnut Hill schools Uave been especially enthusiastic In this particu lar , and their grounds are now well filled with handsome shade treeo. The Improve ment Is also marked In a number of the sur- burban schools , where the pupils have been abN tp secure trees by virtue of their ac quaintance with the farmers' children of the- adjacent country. Quito a number of thp farmers out In the county have taken an In terest In the efforts of the children , and several of them take especial pains to have a pretty tree ready to bring In for the Arbor day celebrations ct ( be children. This year It Is .likely that fewer trees will be planted than usual. This Is partially be cause extra preparations for the local educa tional exhibit at the exposition , aod also on account of the largo number of trees that have been donated by the Board of Park Com- mlesloners and planted around the various buildings earlier In the season. But a short program appropriate to the occasion will be rendered in moat of the schools , and the usual Instruction given In the lessens Incul cated by the sentiment of the day. Mortality StatUtlcn.

T. B. NORRIS , 1413 Douglas st. TKX OLD MGAf.AIX DISMISSED. Cox , Sliooti , Wlltmr n-nil the Other * Get Olllclnl Motlce. Official notice was served yesterday by Chief ot Police Gallagher upon Chief of Detectives W. W. Cox and Patrolmen W. H. Shooo. R. A. Wilbur , James Kirk , C. Dlb- bern. M. Bollard , L. Godcla , A. H. Burr , S. Q. Hoff and J. C. Luke discharging them from the police force forthwith under the recent decision of the supreme court. The order of dismissal was made by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners on Sep tember 29 , last , under the pretext of re trenchment necessitated by a shortage of $3,400 In the city fund for maintaining the department , and In addition to the officers named above it included Sergeants F. D. Mitchell and R. W. Chamberlain , both of whom have since resigned , and Chief of Detectives E. H. Hemlng , dismissed. Following this batch of orders the chief of pollco wnt Instructions to all detectives to get In readiness to assume the duties of ordinary patrolmen , under the rule adopted at Thursday night's session of the commls- slonera , and ordering them to hereafter report direct to the captain In command for duty and assignments. Twenty-two of the new patrolmen who are about to go on duty re ported at the uitr Jail for their first drill yesterday , and Officer Flynn took them In charge. As fast as the new policemen present themselves after the approval of their bond by the board they are sworn Into duty as officers. Their uniforms will be received within three days , and then they will bo assigned to beats. For about sixty days the nsw recruits will be put through a drill every morning for about an hour. The officers who are let out of their posi tions arc consulting their attorneys In rela- tloi to the legality of the latest order for their dismissal , and the Impression Is that the commissioners ulll be compelled to de fend their action In another law suit similar to the one that resulted In a court order for the reinstatement of discharged policemen. The contention Is that the dismissals were made before on the pretext of lack of funds , Inco which time aoother levy has been made for police purposes , and consequently he shortage has been .wiped out. DAUIXG DIP OP A SMOOTH THIEF. PItlJR n Focice t n nil Slip * Through u Flock of Detectives.

The young fellow followed the woman Into the car and came out In a short 'Ime. The brakeman saw him coming out and asked him what he was doing In the car. The reply was that he had lelped hU' mother into the car. In a short Imo the woman rushed to the platform of ho car and told the police her pocket had jeen picked. By this time the young thief iad disappeared on the couth side of . * > . ' rain and no trace could bo found of him. A purse "containing $7.15 nas all that was missing.
