"For the botUrment of the police foroo
of the city Pollco Judge Gordon Is to bo re
moved. The city ofllclals are united upon
this point and the first move In this direc
tion was the adoption of the resolution at
Friday night's police board meeting , rec
ommending to the council that It take steps
to remove him. Just what course la to bo
pursued from now on Is somewhat doubtful.
Impeachment may be tried , but It IB more
than probable that the legislature will bo
appealed to to remedy the situation , " said
an ofllccr of the city.
"Impeachment proceedings could properly
bo brought In the district court , " says City
Attorney Council.Vo have- plenty of evi
dence to support them much more than was
disclosed at the board meeting. Judge Gor
don's withdrawal frori .ha meeting pre
vented u.i from showing our full hand. Hut
v/o have evidence to prove not only thnt the
police Judge has accepted straw bonds In
police court , but also that he has approved
worthless bonds for men and women whom
ho has adjudged guilty enough to bind over
to the district court. Transcripts from the
records of the district court fully prove this.
With this In hand the city would have no
dlniculty In showing that Pollco Judge Gor
don has practically granted Immunity to the
dlsreputablo anil criminal characters who
prey upon the citizens ol Omaha and upon
stranger * ) to the city.
Solution of ( he Problem.
"A much easier nay of solving the
dlfllculty , however , leads through the legis
lature. This Is the more practicable owing
to the fact that uomo clause must bo In-
ecrted In the city charter to provide for the
election of a police Judge. The section re
garding this matter In the present < tiarter
has been held unconstitutional by the supreme
premo court and consequently the city finds
itself In u position where It cannot secure
a successor to Judge Gordon. According to
the supreme court Judge Gordon was not
ro-clcctcd In the last Bprlng election , but Is
elmply holding over under the city election
that was held In the fall a year before.
"Tho charter revision committee grappled
with the problem and has asked for tile In-
crtlon of a. provision In the charter that
will call for the appointment of a police
Judge by the council. The Judge Is to bo
one of the regularly elected justices of the
peace for Douglas county , six of whom are
elected every two years.
"That Is the best way out of the diffi
culty. Moreover , it will comply with every
provision of the law. The constitution re
quires that tlio police judge shall bo elected
and shall hold office two years. Under the
charter , which makes on Interim of three
years between city elections , the police Judge
could not bo chosen at a city election. We
cannot make him an appointee of the mayor ,
ns ho must bo elected. Therefore If one
of the Justices of the peace Is chosen , we
will comply with all legal provisions. The
police Judge will bo elected by ttio people
and elected for a term of two years. "
( oriluu HUH III * Hay.
The trial of Acting Pollco Captain Her
formed the leading topic among the habitues
ot the police court , with Judge Gordon ns the
central figure. Ills honor seemed to take
the result good-naturedly , remarking that
ho might have known bettor than to have
filed the charges before the Board of Flro
and Pollco Commissioners. In referring to
the findings of the board ho pointed out that
he has been found guilty of having continued
several hundred cases and dismissing them ,
also of having made it a practice to take
etraw ball when not the least evidence was
submitted on which to base such findings.

Gordon. "I could have sat there and have
refused to answer ( its questions , and I
adopted this course at fUat In the hope that

tended then to read the board some of Its

titcly nothing further to do with prisoners
than to bring them to tlio police station

Chief of Pollco Martin White seemed
Breatly pleased at the action of the board
In upholding the police. Ho said : "It was
not the Intention of the defense to show
that Captain Her was justified In ejecting
Judge Oordon from the jail office by the
judge's past conduct , but that the arrest of
Nolkon was justifiable. Ono of the charges
against Her was that ho Interfered with the
administration ot justice. If he could show
that the man was really guilty and that
Judge Gordon had mnJo it a practice of
wearing out the patience of the prosecution
by continuing cases and then dismissing
them , and further by the release of prison
ers on straw bond , the charge must natu
rally fall , or at least lose its weight. It
would have been possible to have shown that
Judge Gordon was not In the habit ot enter
ing the jail office ; In fact , that this was the
flr t time ho ever had gone there to Inspect
the jail record. "
DISREGARD THE PROTESTS
Sninllimx Iloniiltnl GOGH Into Fonta-

I'lans for the smallpox hospital that Is
to be located in Fontanello park have been
completed. The building will be plain and
ot first of a temporary character. It will
bo 24x60 feet In size , one story In height
and will contain ton rooms. Lumber for
the structure has been carted to the park
and the building will bo commenced as soon
as the weather will permit. After the start
Is made the liospltal will ho completed in
a few days , so Uulldlng Inspector Duller
says.
says.Tho
The authorities are determined to locate
the hospital In Fontanellc park despite the
protests of neighboring residents. Regard
ing this Mayor Moores says : "I fully ap-
prcclato the objections of the people who
live about the park , but , sifted down , they
are raoro ot a financial character than the
result of any fear of the disease. They
think the value of their property will be
depreciated. Such considerations cannot
bo regarded when the health of the
city or the care of a. victim of
smallpox is in the balance. In such an
emergency the city must take steps to pro
tect the health of the city and to care for
its sick , without regard to minor considera
tions. In the present situation we must have
a smallpox hospital. We could not select
any site In the city that would not be ob
jectionable , and wo must therefore get the
ono that Is least so. After thoroughly con
sidering a number of sites , we selected Fon-
tancllo park as the one that will do the least
Injury and there the hospital will bo lo
cated , although It may never bo used. "
No new eases of smallpox have been re
ported at the office of the Board of Health
and all the patients are in a favorable con
dition.

Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application ot the Festner Printing com
pany for a mandamus to compel the Board
of County Commissioners to execute a con
tract with the company for the county printIng -
Ing for 1839. The arguments related merely
to the facts previously stated , County At
torney Shields contending that the board
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids and that the bid of the Festner com
pany was not complete. The court granted
the writ after an extended monologue , a
considerable part of which pr'etalned to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 32 , which
had been Introduced In evidence. He con
tended at length that the board had no right
to consider union or non-union labor In
granting contracts. Ho declared that tha
right to reject all bids waa not an absolute
right and that the board should have ac
cepted the lowest bid at once after it was
received.
HOUSE LOOTING MUST STOP

Since the binding over to the district
court of Charles Kills and Peter Green for
breaking Into the dwelling house owned by
R. G. Pierce , tbo real estate men have
recognized the necessity of organization
against depredators of this character.
Ttie Nebraska law under which thieves
are Itablo for forcing their way Into vacant
dwellings Is not as specific as It might be ,
and the agents Intend to see that the in
terests ot the owners are protected by their
onn vigilance. Numerous houses have been
entered and the plumbing torn out just as
it was in Mr. Plerco's house and It Is n hard
matter to get at the men who do the work.
Tbo pipe , brass and copper , are sold to the
Junk dealers , who usually keep no record
of such a purchase , so it is hard to get a
trace of thieve * . An organization for the
prosecution of thieves and the protection
of all vacant houses , they think , would go
far toward lessening the larce number of
depredations end such an organization is
in process ot formation.

SECRETS Ol1 THE SAUSAGE

is Being Sold.
CONSUMERS UNAWARE OF THE PRACTICE
Illicit ! Inspection anil Severe rcnnltle *
Arc 1'ropofti'd In Order Hint the
1'ubllc May Have I'roper
Protection.
Beef Impregnated with tuberculosis , pork
from hogs afflicted with hoc cholera , merits
from the carcasses of cattle , hogs and sheep
which bavo died of disease or have been
killed when afflicted with dUoaso arc some
of the wares that Omaha butchers ore sell
ing to consumers In this city. So City Vet
erinarian and Meat Inspector Ilamacclottl
declares and because of his belief In this
condition of affairs ho Is about ready to
submit to the city council an ordinance
whereby the sale of such meats will bo im
possible in the future.
"A few days ago I obtained
trace of a man who was. trying
to ficll the carcasses of two hogs
which were plainly affected by hog chol
era , Indicated by red spcte , " says the
veterinarian , "I tried to find this man , but
failed. I have little doubt that he succeeded
In disposing of the meat and that It was ul
timately sold to Omaha consumers , because
I have quite often confiscated as badly dis
eased meats that I have found In ths
butcher shops of the city on sale. "
Sometimes diseased meat will bo bought
by a butcher because he does not know that
It Is diseased ; In many cases it Is bought
because It Is cheap. In the former case the
city veterinarian frequently detects it and
confiscates It ; In the latter , the butcher dis
poses of the meat as quickly as possible
either in Its original form to. private con
sumers or to the cheap chop houses of the
city or in the shape of sausage or other
form. City Veterinarian Ramacclottl says
that there Is no way under the present or
dinance whereby this practice can be wholly
( topped.
Method of Introduction.
There are two ways 1n which this dis
eased meat is generally Introduced In the
ctly. A farmer or some other owner may
have on hand some stock that dies or Is
about to die. In the latter case ho 1:1110 it.
Ho flays the carcass , dresses It and then
disposes of It to the city butcher. Other
diseased meat comes from a "broker" who
makes a practice of buying stock rejected
at the stock yards and of buying dead or
diseased animals from their owners. These
animals are also flayed , dressed and sold.
This business its quite extensive , says the
elty veterinarian.
Attempts have been made to stop these
butchers. Men have been arrested for sellIng -
Ing diseased meat , but the ordinances ot
the city are not sufficient to result in con
viction. Other men have been arrested for
buying diseased animals and selling them
to butchers , but they have claimed that
they boucht the animals only for their
hides and did not sell the meat , although In
many cases there Is amoral , If not a legal
certainty , that they did sell the meat for
consumption.
TO put ar cad to such a condition , of
affairs the city veterinarian proposes to es
tablish a public abattoir. This Is to be
run by contract by the < slty. Here every
particle of meat Is sold In the city , except
such as passes through the packing houses
and therefore Is marked with the stamp of
the government Inspector , must como In on
the hoof. The animals will bo examined ,
while allvo by the city meat Inspector. It
they pass scrutiny they will bo killed at
the abattoir and the city meat Inspector
will hold a post mortem on the carcass to
discover traces of disease. If the examina
tion proves satisfactory , a stamp will be
affixed and the meat nuy be eold to the
butcher. The meat inspector will continue
to make the rounds of the butcher shops
and if ho finds any meat without his stamp
or the tag of the government inspector ho
will confiscate dt. The penalty for ths
violation of any provisions ot the ordinance
Is to be a fine ot not Icsa than (50 nor
more than $200.
City Veterinarian Raraacclottt has drawn
up this ordinance and has submitted it to
the city attorney. It will bi handed over
to the council In the near future.

A two-weeks' mission at the Sacred Heart
church , Kountze Place , will open with great
solemnity at the solemn high mass , 10:30 :
o'clock this morning , The celebrant of
the mass will bo Very Rev. A. M.
Colanerl , vicar general ; Very Rev. Dean
Jennctto , deacon ; Rev. J. M. Stensen , sub-
deacon ; Rev. S. F. Carroll , master ot

of the mission. The evening services at
7:30 : o'clock , of the first week , will bo for
the women , of the second week for the men.
The mission ia expected to be a series ot
most Interesting and Instructive discourses.
The pastor of the church , Rev. P. J. Judge ,
IB considered most fortunate In having
secured the services of the.two eminent xnls-
lonarles , Fathers Boarman and Mageveney ,
to conduct the mUslon. Father Marshall
Ignatius Boarman Is a typical American , beIng
Ing on his father's side , a lineal descendant
ot Captain William Boarman , one
of the founders of Baltimore's
Catholic colony of Maryland. His
family alone has , within the last 250
years , given to the church one bishop , nev-
eral eminent secular clergymen , a half dozen
Jesuit priests and a large number of relig
ious women. On his mother's side Father
Boarman Is a near and blood relation o !
General R. E. Lee. He Is widely known as
a zealous and successful missionary. His
style ot preaching is plain , scholarly and
persuasive. Father Eugene Aloyslus Ma-
cevenex was born in Memphis , Teiin. , of
Irish parentage. After completing a bril
liant course ot studies in the University ot
St. Louis , he entered tbo Society of Jesus
while yet very younc. In the society Itself
he made a lone course of fourteen yearn of
special studies In literature , philosophy , sci
ence and theology , and was thereafter as
signed to the chair of higher studies In va
rious colleges and universities. He baa lec
tured several yean before the Catholic sum
mer school * ) and is well known as a lecturer
\
on history. Ills style of preaching la very
attractive , forcible and ornate.
The Sacred Heart parish Is coming lo b
one of the most flourishing In the community
and contemplates erecting In the near future
a temple of worship that will be a credit to
ecclcslaitlcal architecture In this city. Us
people are very zealous and energetic church
workers. The present mlsalon Is expected to
be of unusual Interest and Importance and
to contribute largely to stimulate still more
the various energies of the parish In the
Lord's work. The mission Is Intended pri
marily and principally for the parishioners ,
but Incidentally nil nra Invited and cordially
welcome , Catholic and non-Catholic. No
doubt many non-Catholic Inquirers will come
to hear from two such able exponents the
doctrines ot Christianity as explained from
the standpoint ot the Catholic church. Scats

AUTOMOBILE CABS IN PARIS

WASHINGTON , Jan. 2S. Consul General
Gowdy at Paris reports to the State depart
ment that there has been a marked Increase
during the last year In the use of automobiles
In the city of Paris , not only as pleasure
vehicles , but for practical application as
public cabs and for business purposes as
delivery wagons. It Is announced that soon
there will be 100 motor cars driven by elec
tricity running In the streets of Paris , and ,
If the experiment be successful , the cabs
will be Increased to 1,000. With this par
ticular project In view a largo plot of ground
has been secured , where the building of
works necessary for the housing of the cabs
and machinery tor the electric supply nro
being rapidly completed. The training
ground also has been made for the cab
men. This Is laid out with every possible
form of paving wood , asphalt , stone , etc.
including two steep hllla. Hero and there
are dotted about n number of dummy figures
and In juul out of these the cabmen have to
maneuver under the orders of nn Instructor.
As a rule In four lessons the driver Is ready
to navigate Paris and after ten lessons is
considered thoroughly competent. Each cab
Is supplied with sufficient power to be driven
thirty miles at about eight miles an hour.
Among these systems of automobiles In
Paris there are many using petroleum , which
called forth a most pronounced objection
from the public by reason , first , of the odor
following their passage ; second , the noise ,
and , third , for the passengers , the extraor
dinary vibration. A consummation of great
value would bo a machine which would
combine durability , speed and economy with
out these annoyances and defects.
