POWER OF SUPERIOR COURT
Extent of Its Jurisdiction in Contested Elec
tion Oases to Ba Tested.
SUPREME COURT WILL RULE ON THE POINT
Writ of Certiorari (irnntci! In the
Dai ls-llnverstnek Controversy
Which AVIlt Kml One
Phase of the Dispute.
The contest over tho office of treasurer
of tho Independent school district of Coun
cil Bluffs la now up to tho supremo court,
or at loast so much of it as has to do with
tho Jurisdiction of tho superior court of
this city In tho quo warranto proceedings
Instituted by George S. Davis against W.
K. Hnverstock. Should tho supremo court
hold that tho suporlor court is not tho
proper tribunal to dctermlno the contro
versy tt will bring tho contest to a close
and Havcrstock will remain in pcaccablo
possession of tho office.
Judgo (liven of tho supremo court, on the
application of Havcrstock, has issued a
writ of certiorari ordering thnt tho pro
ceedings so far held in tho superior court
bo transcrlptcd up to tho supremo court
for a hearing and determination as to tho
Jurisdiction of tho superior court. The
writ is returnable at tho October term of
tho supremo court and acts as a stay on
nil proceedings In tho court hero until the
supremo court shall hand down Its ruling.
When George 8. Davis, former school
treasurer, who claims to have been duly
elected to tho ofTlco again, brought tho quo
warranto proceedings In tho superior court
against W. K. Hnverstock, tho republican
candidate to whom tho Hoard of Educa
tion had issuod u certificate of cloctlon, the
latter demurred on the grounds that the
suporlor court is not the proper tribunal
to try and determine the controversy. It
was asserted on behalf of Hnverstock that
tho dlsputo over tho election should be de
termined In tho samo manner as other
olcctlon contests, namely, that Davis with
in twenty days after tho election should
have filed with the county auditor a notice
of his Intention to contest, and that then
the chairman of the Doard of County Su
pervisors should have set a day for tho
hearing, tho trial board to consist of tho
chairman of the Hoard of Supervisors and
two Judges selected by tho contestants.
This, it is asserted by Haverstock, should
hnvo been the proper procedure on tho part
of Davis, and that ho having failed to tako
advantage of it within tho time prescribed
he is now without redress.
Judgo Aylosworth of the superior court
overrueld tho demurrer and held that his
court is a proper tribunal to determine tho
controversy.
AVnntn a Mounted Policeman.
Alderman Hoyer, chairman of the com
mittee on poltca and health. Is in favor of
having a mounted officer added to the police
force. With tho present number of men on
tho foree it is found Impossible to afford
propor pollen protection in the outlying
portions of tho city. This protection Al
derman Doyer believes could bo partially
afforded by n mounted officer, who' would
bo odded to tho night detail and who could
cover n large portion of the outlying terri
tory Since the opening of the dancing resort
in the southwestern part of the city known
as Meadow Lawn fights have been of almost
nightly oeurrenca, which the police havo
been cnlled upon to quell. By tho time tho
officers would drive to the scene tho sar
ticlpants would have dispersed and con
siderable trouble has been experienced in
consequence in making arrests. Another
Instance of tho need of a mounted officer.
Alderman Doyer claims, has been furnished
by tho recent frequent fights in the saloon
nt tho corner of Twenty-first street and
Broadway. On one occasion the officers
succeeded in reaching tho place before tho
fighters had managed to got away, but on
several other occasions when called to tho
saloon they wero unablo to reach there in
tlmo to male any arrests.
A mounted officer, it Is claimed by Alder
man Hoyer, could cover qulto an extensivo
territory and visit these places where
fights so frequently occur at any time in
tho night. Tho fact that an officer might
drop In at theso places at any mlnut?
would, it is belloved, keep away many of
the toughs who now make it a business of
creating trouble there. Alderman Boyer
expects to bring tho matter up at tho meet
ing of tho council tomorrow night.
Chief Albro is talking about securing a
couplo of bloodhounds for his department
since, the holdup on tho Manawa motor. He
believes they would bo a most useful ad
junct to tho forco nnd that with the
hounds and Detective Wolr, mounted on
his bicycle, thtoves, burglars and highway
men wiuld have a poor chance of escaping
from being caught.

nnvi' yard Juno 2(! and embarked aboard
tho Brooklyn, which left Manila that same
evening. o arrived at Hong Kong tha
23rd and laid there until the 20th, when we
again put to so. Nothing eventful marked
tho trip from Hong Kong to Nagasaki, ex
cept it rained ull the way and was very
forgy, nnd for thnt reason wo could not
mako nny very gooil tlmo. Wo arrived nt
Jngasnkl July 4 and spent tho day coaling:
snl;i left Julv G.
We arrived In tho harbor of Cho Foo
after two moro days of misery In tho fog
anil rain and I can tell you tho sun was n
welcome sight when wo got there. Did not
stay very long, only long enough to rind out
about the Oregon, which was reported lost
on a rock, but tho rumor wns without
foundation and the ahlp was safe, so wo
shored, off ouin.
wHr now headed for a place called
Tak.' nat P,acn ls situated at tho mouth
of the Pel Ho river and tH entrance to
tho river nnd all the bay surrounding Is
commanded by fine forts which I think
rannot be excelled In any part of tho world.
I saw moro warships at Taku thnn I ever
jaw before. I mean of all nations com
bined. There were about eighty all told.
July 9 was the day sot for tho landing of
the troops, which by the way consisted on
our aldo of the Ninth Infantry.
Wo had considerable trouble In getting up
the river, which Is very narrow and shal
low and full of bends and It took us nearly
fourteen hours to travel flfty-ene miles, so
yoti can Imagine about how fast wo wero
going, and finally arrived at Tien Tsln nt
12 a. m. July 12 and were quartered In the
custom house. About 3 n. m. on tho morn
ing of the 1.1th all hands wore ordered on
tho march to make an atttack on a portion
of tho city called the walled city. There
were six companies of the Ninth infantry,
five companies of marines with one com
pany as artillery, to which I belonged, nnd
several companies of English troops, which,
taken nil together, r mado a formidable
force. Tho march was long und tiresome
and we had many ditches to cross which
made It hard for the men who handled tho
guns. I mean the fleld-sleccs. Every one
was equipped with haversack, canteen, rifle
and ISO rounds of ammunition, and that in
Itself was qnlte a loud. About sunrise tho
English forces opened fire on the city with
a heavy return by the Chinamen. We
could see the tiring from where wo were
very plainly, but what the effect was we
could not ascertain. We were going as
fast as we, could so that we could get Into
line and do some work, but 1 can toll you
every one was near played out before wu
got half wny, but not a man faltered.
As wo nearctt the wolf, or gato rather,
where the most of the forces wero centered
wo encountered a heavy rifle fire, but that
didn't phaze us. We kept on going and the
bullats were hitting tho ground all around
ns. Just before we got to where wo were
to take place In line there was a swamp
to cross and I thought our guns would
sink out of sight In the mud and water,
which was up to our knees. Wo finally
got our cans Into position and commenced
firing. Directly a large explosion was seen
and heard which we found Inter was tho
mngnslne and tha Americana are given tho
credit for thnu We fired about twenty
shots from each gun from that place nnd
then tho battery was taken Inside of u
large mud wall where we effectually shelled
the city and I can truly say I don't think
thoro were ten shots In. all tho 300 which
wero fired from tha three guns but what
took effect. We ran out of ammunition for
our field guns nbotit 10 a. m. and of course
wo had to haul off from action under as
heavy rifle fire as I think any ono was over
hi. There were snipers or Chinese sharp
shooters all over the place and every time
unv one stuck his head out ho was gone.
Tnlk about tho Filipinos, I would rather go
up against tlvo million of thorn than ono
thousand Chinese. About 12 o'clock noon wo
wero sent to reinforce the firing lino nnd
here we met another heavy rifle fire. When
wo wore almost to the line I was hit by a
spent ball in tho cheek, but it did not
do any damago any moro than to make a
hole In my cheek, knock ono tooth out.

Secretary Overton of the local Young
Men's Christian association said yesterday
that tho organization Is considering the
purchaso of a good location on which to
erect a haudsomo Young Men's Christian
association headquarters In tho city. Plans
under contemplation, according to the sec
retary and other Influential workers, aro
for the erection of a four-story building,
with the ground and first floors to be rented
as offices and store rooms, and the third
and fourth floors to be used as Young Men's
Christian association rooms. However, no
site has as yet been decided upon, owing to
the high prices asked by property owners
in the central part ot tho city.
Tho Young Men's Christian association
rooms are entirely too small for the ac
commodation of all Its members. The lease
on tho rooms now occupied Is about to ex
pire and tho directors have decided that if
at all possible to build they will only ex
tend their lease a very short time and
proceed to secure tho necessary money for
the erection of their own building.
According to tho figures of tho secretary
a building such as will be sufficiently large
can bo built for less than $15,000. Then
the prico of the lot being less than 310,000
will place the top flguro at $25,000. When
seen yesterday Secretary Overton declared
that if the building could bo put up at n
flguro In the neighborhood of $20,000 that
he foil confident the work could bo done.
He said: "We have made ono of tho best
records of nny of tho Young Men's Chris
tian association organizations in the state,
and .our work continues to grow. New
members are being enrolled and tho rooms
that we aro now occupying are entirely too
small. Wo have only three bath rooms,
and on Saturdays these are taxed to over
flowing. Besides this, wo believe a new
building can and should be built by us.
Fremont has a magnificent structure of
their own. Wo bcltevo that the business
men of South Omaha would contribute suf
ficiently for us to bavo our own headquar
ters. When the Chicago Young Men's
Christian association headquarters wero
built Armour and Swift each contributed
$20,000 to the fund, and as they havo prac
tically tho same Interests hero will do tho
samo with us."
It seems thogener.il Impression that a
building such as they propose erecting
would bo a paying venture In tho city. It
was further proposed, hy tho promoters of
the Young Mon's Christian association yes
terday to contribute to tho Commercial
club a fine club room, to bo used by them
free of charge. This will bo in recognition
of tho help they feel confidont will ba ex
tended to them by tho club. At tho noxt
meeting of tho club it is thought that tho
matter will bo brought up and a Young
Men's Christian association delegation will
ask Its asslstanco In the work.

which Is stretched with beautiful private
lawns, was used by the happy gathering.
It ls estimated thnt at ono- timo during the

OrpeM furnished tho music of tho night
and tho women who had gotten up the affair
sold ico cream and temperance drinks al
