"For the betterment of the police force
of the city I'ollco Judge Gordon Is to bo re
moved. The city ofllclals are united upon
this point anil the llrst move In this direc
tion was the adoption of the resolution at
1'rlday 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 bo tried , but It IB more
than probable that the legislature "HI bo
appealed to to remedy the situation. " aald
an ofllcer of the city.
"Impeachment proceedings could properly
be brought In the district court , " says City
Attorney ConncllVo ha\o plenty of tvl-
denco to support them much more than was
disclosed at the board meeting. Judge Gor
don's withdrawal Iron , .lie meeting pre
vented us from showing our full hand. Hut
we have evidence to prove not only that the
police judge has accepted straw bonds In
police court , but also that he has approved
worthless bonds for men and women whom
he 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
dlfllculty In showing that I'ollce Judge Gor
don has practically granted Immunity to the
disreputable and criminal characters who
prey upon the citizens of Omaha and upon
strangers to the city.
Solution u ( ( he I'rulilein.
"A much easier way of solving the
diniculty , however , leads through the legis
lature. This Is the more practicable owing
to the fact that some clause must bo In-
ecrtcd In the city charter to provide for the
election of a police Judge. The section re
garding this matter In the present iliarter
has been held unconstitutional by the supreme
premo court and consequently the city finds
Itself In u position \vhcro It cannot secure
a successor to Judge Gordon. According to
the supreme court Judge Gordon was not
ro-electcd In the last spring election , but Is
simply 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 the in
sertion of a provision In the charter that
will call for the appointment of a police
Judge by the council. The Judge Is to be
ono of the regularly elected Justices of the
peace for Douglas county , six of whom are
elected every two years.
"That la 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 jcara. Under the
charter , which makes an Interim of ttvreo
years between city elections , the police Judge
could not be chosen at a city election. We
cannot raako him an appointee of the mayor ,
as ho must bo elected. Therefore. If ono
of the Justices of the peace Is chosen , wo
will comply with all legal provisions. The
police Judge will bo elected by ttio people
and elected for a term of two years. "
Cordon HUH HIM Huy.
The trial of Acting Polleo Captain Her
formed the leading topic among the habitues
of the police court , with Judge Gordon ns the
central figure. Ills honor seemed to take
the result good-naturedly , remarking that
he might have known bettor than to have
filed the charges before the Board of Flro
and Polleo Commissioners. In referring to
the findings of the board ho pointed out that
lie has been found guilty of having continued
several hundred cases and dismissing them ,
also of having made It a practice to take
straw ball when not the least evidence was
submitted on which to base such findings.

Chief of Police Martin White trcmed
greatly pleased at the action of the board
in upholding the police. Ho said : "It was
not tlio Intention of tbo defense to show
that Captain Her was justified In ejecting
Judge Gordon from the jail office by the
judge's past conduct , but that the arreet of
NcUon was justifiable. Ono of tbo charges
against Her wus that ho interfered with the
administration of justice. If he could show
that tbo man was really guilty and that
Judge Gordon had made 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 ha\o been possible to have shown that
Judge Gordon was not In the habit of enter

Plan- ? for the smallpox hospital that IB
to be located in Fontanello park have becu
completed. The building will be plain and
at 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 hospital will bo completed In
a few days , so Building Inspector Duller
says.
says.Tho
The authorities are determined to locate
the hospital In Fontanelle park despite the
protests of neighboring residents. RegardIng -
Ing this Major Moores eajs : "I fully ap-
prcclato the objections of the people who
live about the parlc , but , sifted down , they
are morn of a financial character than the
result of any fear of the disease. They
think the value of their property will bo
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 euch 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 there-fore get the.
ono that Is least so. After thoroughly con
sidering a number of sites , we selected Fon-
tanello park as the one that will do the least
Injury and there the hospital \\111 bo lo
cated , although It may never bo used. "
No now casea of smallpox have b on re
ported at the ofllco of the Board of Health
and all the patients are in a favorable con
dition.

SCOTT GRANTS MANDAMUS
Conrt Settle * the Connty Printing
Contract , Overturning the De-

Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application of 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 1899. The arguments related merely
to the facta preUously 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 protalned to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 32 , winch
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 was 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 Ellis 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.
The Nebraska law under which thieves
are liable for forcing their way Into vacant
dwellings Is not as specific as U might be ,
and the agents intend to see that the in
terests of the owners are protected by their
own vigilance. Numerous houses have been
entered and the plumbing torn out Just as
U was In Mr. Plerco's house and It U a hard
matter to pet at tbo men who do the work.
Tbo pipe , brass and copper , are sold to the
junk dealers , who usually keep no record
of such n purchase , so it is hard to get a
trace of thtevex. An organization for the
prosecution of thlc\cs and the protection
of all vacant houses , they think , would go
far toward lessening the larce number of
depredations and euch an organization is
in process of formation.

SECRETS 01 THE SAUSAGE
City Veterinarian Finds that Diseased Meat
ia Being Bold ,
CONSUMERS UNAWARE OF THE PRACTICE
InnpecUon ntiil Set ere 1'cnnttlrn
Arc Proponed In Order tlint the
Public Mny lime Proper
Protection.
Decf Impregnated with tuberculosis , pork
from hogs afflicted with hoc cholera , meats
from the carcasses of cattle , hogs and sheep
which have died of disease or have been
killed when afflicted with dlioaso are some
of the wares that Omaha butchere are sell
ing to consumers In this city. So City Vet
erinarian and Meat Inspector Hamacclottl
declares and because of his belief In this
condition of affaln bo Is about ready to
submit to the cltj- council an ordinance
whereby the sale of such meats will be im
possible in the future.
"A few days ago I obtained
trace of a man who was trying
to sell the carcasses of two hogs
which were plainly affected by hog chol
era , indicated by red spcts , " sajg 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 the-
butcher shops of the city on sale. "
Sometimes diseased meat will bo bought
by a butcher because ho 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
dlnanco whereby this practice can bo wholly
stopped.
Method of Introduction.
There nro two ways in 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 1I11 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 ds qulto extenslvo , says the
city veterinarian.
Attempts have been made to stop these
butchers. Men have been arrested for sellIng -
Ing diseased meat , but the ordinances of
the city are not sufficient to result in con
viction. Other men have been arrested for
buying diseased animals and eel ling them
to butchers , but they have claimed that
they bought the animals only for their
hides and did not sell the meat , although in
many cases there Is a moral , If not a legal
certainty , that they did aell the meat lor
consumption.
TO put ar cod 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 ally. 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 come 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 itamp will be
affixed and tbo meat miy 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
wilt confiscate It. The ' ( penalty for the
\lolatloa of any provisions of the ordinance
Is to bfi a fine of not Icsa than $50 nor
more than $200.
City Veterinarian Ruraaoclottl has drawn
up this ordinance and has eubmltted it to
the city attorney. It ivlll b handed over
to the council In the near future.

to conduct the tnlcslon. Father Marshall
Ignatius Boarman Is a typical American , beIng
Ing on his father's side , a lineal descendant
Of Captain William Boarman , one
of the founders of Baltimore's
Catholic colony of Maryland. His
family alone has , within the last 2SO
years , gl\en to the church one bUhop , sev
eral eminent eeculor clergymen , a half dozen
Jesuit priests and a large number of relig
ious women. On his mother's side Father
Boarman is a near ami blood relation o !
General R. E. Lee. He Is widely known as
a zealous and successful missionary. His
style of preaching is plain , scholarly and
persuasive. Father Eugene Aloyslus Ma-
geveney was born in Mtinnhls , Tenn. , of
Irish parentage. After completing a bril
liant course of studies in the University of
St. Louis , he entered the Society of Jeeua
while yet very young. In the society Itself
he made a long course of fourteen years 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 has lec
tured several years before the Catholic sum
mer schools and It well known as a lecturer
on history. Ills style of preaching U very
nttracthe , forcible and ornate.
The Sacred Heart parish \ coming to b
ono of the most flourishing In the community
and contemplate * erecting In the near future
a temple of worship that will be a credit to
cccleslaitlcal architecture In this city. Its
people are very zealous and rncrgcttc church
workers. The pre ont mlwlon Is expected to
be of unusual Interest and Importance and
to contribute largely to stimulate stilt 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 all ore 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 of Christianity as explained from

matron of the poor farm and two janitors.

The poor farm Job went to William Olm-
stead over Ostrom's minority vote , and Mrs.
Olmstcad was elected matron by a unani
mous vote. Ostrom explained that Elnco

bo the matron , and joined the majority on

AUTOMOBILE CABS IN PARIS

WASHINGTON , Jan. 28. 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 large plot of ground
has been secured , where the building of
works necessary for the bousing of the cabs
and machinery for the electric supply are
being rapidly completed. The training
ground also has been inado for tbo cab
men. This Is laid out with every possible
form of paving wood , asphalt , stone , etc.
Including two steep hills. Hero and there
are dotted about a number of dummy figures
and In and out of thcso the cabmen have to
maneuver under the orders of an 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.
