Mnkes SoHie Suggestiotis.
OMAHA , July 25.-Z. T. Lindsay , Esq.-
, bty Dear Sir : At a meeting of the executive

, however , I have sjent sonic time in inak-
lug inquiries , and submit the following nug-
gestions as to inhhrmities discovered :
1. 'rho card passes , trip passes , working-
mcn' passes. press passes and enployes :

' whatever against abuse.
" 2. There Is no check attempted whereby
: to detect. abuses In the matter of issuing
t.a L passes on the request of heads of depart-
flents.
3. There Is no record of the use made of
any form of time lasses.
4. There Is no check against the nuin-
bors , aid any lrlnte ) ! could duplicate any
form of exposition pass except the photograph -
graph passes without danger of detection ,
5. CollusIon between thu holder of any
form of pass and the gatekeeper will permit -
mit oie , two , three or oven six persons to
use the same pass ,
. 6. The gatekeeper's sole reliance as to
the Identity of the holder of the pass
other than a photograph pass , is the signature -
ture the holder of such vase makes with a
send pencil.
7. There is no record made against a
department on time passes , nor against any
exhibitor or concessionaire who may hold
audi pass.
8. In the matter of certain kinds of passes
, . - . , the superintendent of a department makes
- a request for a lint number alid ho is not
- required to advise tlio Bureau of Admuls-
nions to whom the same were Issued or by
whom they were USel ,
9. When a fraud Is detected no record is
made , which viiI prevent the same party
froiti the same fraud Litmuogli another department -
partment , or even the samoa department.
10. Instances have come to the attention
of the flurcan of Admnissiomms where out-of-
town persona have loaned their imasse to
other visitors , hut these would not have
. been detected , except for the excesHivo 5tH-
4 ' pidity of the recipients of time iaSScs. A

ing whether the party presenting it , is the
one to whom it as issuel or not , might
almost as well read , "Admit bearer. "

11. The forms adopted for passes , with
'
the cxception of the photograph pass , are
all wrong , and niforti unlimited opportunity
for fraud. In fact , they Imivite deception ,
amid place a Premniuni upon sharp practice ,
and I do not see how it is possible to avoid

, When the committee met Tuesday , Man-
egor Lindsay , who has just roturneit front

water had invaded his prerogatives as head
of the Bureau of Admissions. Manager
Bosewater recalled the tact to Mr. Lindsay
that he had been ashuui to flnd a good moat :
who was utualifled for the important position
which the Inr4 sought to liii. Ito belcyd
the man the board hie chosen to be fully
qualified. h1 assured Mr. Lindsey that he
had no desire to Invade his department , or
pay other prerogative , but called his attention -
tion to the fact that while he had for eight-
ten months allowed Mr , Linulsay , who is
chairman of the board , to call to the chair

had been employed , Manager flosowater
said $5 a day was not too much to pay it

Manager flosewnter , in order to ieavo the
matter entirely to the disposition of Met-
ager Lindsay , moved a. reconsideration of
the vote by which Mr. Blackburn had been
employed , and the rescinding of the resolu-
thin directing the employment of an InSpector -

BALL IS HELD FOR TRIAL

County Judge Baxter dismissed one of time
cases against William flail of Valley , tim
one for Iceeping liquor on hand with Intent
to violate the law , but he lelch him on time
other , namely , for disposing of beer consigned -
signed to Itim , The bond was fixed at $300.
Time complaint in the fernier case was
based om : section 20 of the liquor law. The
only eridenco In this , said the court , against
flail amounting to anything was that of
Andy. Sitwyer , but it. tvas of a questionable
character and the court. would not hold any
jerson on an ) ' evidence of that kind. As to ,
the other ease , Bali , himself , bad stated on
the stand when testifying in his own behalf -
half , that. he had had beer consigned to
him by the keg from this city , his explanation -
tion being that ho had turned it over to
John Yager without profit. It was cmi
arrangement entered into between time two
men to save Yager mooney. However. the
Section under which thin case was brought
Is very oxp1Ittt , It Is seCtlfl 11 and does
not make any allowance for any question of
intent. It says : To sell or give away on
any. pretext. " Judge Baxter comisidered the
evidence of Ball ample of Itself to show
lnobablo cause that there bad been a viola-
thou of the iaw.
The substitute bottle of liquor did not cut
much of a figure either way. Anticipating
that the defense wouhil tr to make it
sear that there was a consiraey among the
witnessen for the etato to pain : oft the substitute -
stituto on the court as original , Mr. Winter
endeavored to have Lon flyers , one of the
Valley village board , swear that Attorney
A. J. Sullivan representing the defense , had
told him on Sunday last. while Marshal
Miller and Constable ilice were armed with
a search warrant , that he ( Sullivan ) had
them : the original bottle in imis possession ,
but the court sustained an objection from
Attorney Rich , who also engaged in the do-
fcase.
Mr. Rich , it : imis argument , contended that
the authorities for the state wore 'persecut-
lag rather that : prosecuting" his client , con-
eldurlng that the matter had already been
sifted by Justice of the Peace Steoglein and
ho made much of the right of time defendant
to have a bottie of Iiqubr In his ice box at
homne for the benefit of himself , fanliy anti
friends , If ho desired to keep it. Thio consignment -
signmont of the beer to Ball. said Mr. Rich ,
was not conclusive in showing that Bail
wits criminally guilty of a Violation of the
law.
law.The
The surety for Bail was Edson Rich him-
self. Mr. Rich did his best during the attor-
noon to have Judge Baxter reconsider his
order by presenting to him the law and
some decisions covering the point of Ball's
responsibility for having the three kegs of
beer pass through his hands , but Judge
Baxter maintained that all he could do waste
to determine as to timeprobable cause of a
violation of the law by Bail. If the guilt or
innocence , said ho , had to be settled one
way or the other by himself ho did not
think the evidence was sufficient to convict
in the taco of the rulings of the courts on
limo question of "giving" liquor. Mr. Rich
titeli endeavored to persuade the prosecuting
attorney , Mr. Winter. to have the case
dropped or : the ground that It would be Im-
IOSsibIe to find a jury that would convict.
ML' . Winter , too , thought that a conviction
would be rather Inmprobablp , but he felt it
his duty to take the matter into court and
have it determined there.

In accordance with an order issued by
the comptroller of the treasury the Omaha
banks have just made a report of timeir 11-

over thio contlitiona which prevailed at time

community's prosperity can be found than
the batik deposits and they lmnvo Increased
almost 33 14 per cent during the inst year.
In 18t17 the aggregate resources of the
national banks of the city amounted to
$17,916,904.64 , amid time recent report shows
that the resources at present amount to
$22,4G9,071O& , an Increase of $1,521,070.41 , or
about 25 per cemit , The deposits in the an-
tional banks on July 23 of 1897 amounted
to $13,190,774 28 against a tieposit this year
of $17,632,604.94 , a gain of more titan 33 1-3

also been a promising increase in the

Wimen asked for his opinion concerntng
the financial condition Henry W. Yates ,
president of the Nebraska National bank ,
said that the amount of money deposited
in banka by individuals Is a reliable means
of judgIng the plentifulness of money , and
that the showing In the last report Is a
very encouraging one in that respect. Time
entire deposit of iMinks does not indicate
much regarding the finances of it comomu-

draw Interest and do not represent local
capital , which is awaiting Investment , An

The opinion of other bankers and men
who are posted in financial matters Is mnuch
the same. All express the belief that much :
more money Is awaiting Investment. in

NEW CHIEF OF DETECTIVES
McCrntk Takes Ilolul nuil iye , , an
Order for tIme Smippressioji of
I Slot atnellifleM ,
The newly appoInted chief of detectives ,
James McGrath , has assumed his new title
and taken possession of the email room in
the south front end of the police court room
formerly occupied by City Attorney Miller ,
which he will use as his private office. To
give it the appearance of the secret cham-
hers of a sleuth detective Is supposed to
have the walls now covered with circulars
bearing the pictures of crIminals wanted
and reward notices for fugitives.
The flrBt order the new chief made was
for time suppression of the gambling slot
machines used in the saloons and cigar
stores about to city , Detectivea Savage
end Dempsey were detailed for this work.
But only machines that pay the player
money are Included In tbc order.
A great deal of dissatisfaction exists among
the old members of the detective force ; men
who have grown gray in the service , over
the appointment of sd inexperienced a man
as McGrath. This feeling is only expressed
covertly as any outw'afd sigmi of dissatlerac-
tion would cause a dismissal from the force.
Thu men are more loud in their denuncla-
tion of the reducing to the ranks of De-
tectives Dunn. Donahue anti Sullivan for no
apparent reason , though these three officers
refuse to discuss the pctions of their an-
periors. All three donned their uniforms at
noon and will be assigned to posts.
It Is hinted that several other detectives
will be reduced to the ranks and their
places filled by uniformed men who have
beet : prominent in their work for the police
board.
