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

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.

DECIDES LIQUOIl LIOEXSE CASES.
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.

OlIlccTM 'Make n Good Cntch in a
'SliiKtilnr Manner.
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.

Next Friday the school children
and not a few of the olded people of Ne-

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.

Colored engravings which ornament the cov-

deserve preservation. The title cover Is
occupied by a picture of a passenger pigeon
and the delicate colors of his breast and

The back cover shows an equally well ex

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.

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.
A clover bit of thievery took place on
Union Pacific train No. 3 just as It was ready
to pull out of the Union depot. An elderly
woman , who was going to Fullerton , boarded
the train and Immediately behind her was
young fellow who Is described as being
about 22 or 23 years old. 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. At the time of the theft five
detectives were standing on the platform , but
none of them noticed anything suspicious
and the brakeman gave suh an Indefinite
description of the pickpocket that the ta&k
of hunting him up was a hopeless one.

One of the now things in our Underwear Garden is a
fine TTancy Balbriggan in a brown random stripe
same quality goods we sold last year for 45 cents a
garment. This year it will bo 85 cents. By buying
almost double and ordering early wo got the reduc -v-
tion and wo give you the benefit so that you can go
over to our sockwear counter and spend it for a pair
of the good substantial BOX we are selling for 10 cts.
The shirts of these garments are faced with best gros
grain watered silk and the sleeves have Jersey finish
ed cuffs so as to give some stores an excuse for asking
75 cents a garment for the same thing. As we told
you yesterday we are going to do the underwear
business of the Great "Vtest this season because
_ we can't help doing it with our goods and our
prices , for nowhere can you get so much underwear
for your money as you can right here. Tonight ,
when you are around lookin' just look at-tho shirts
and drawers we are selling this season for 25 cents.
Or the grand two thread Mace yarn garments in old
gold , salmon or azure for 50 cents. Yes , 50 cents.
It's another store that asks U8 cents.
