O'CONNOR CLAIMS A PLACE
t arriving Member f Pojnter Police Board
Dernanda HiiSeaU
INSISTS HE IS A DE JURE MEMBER
Jlew Complication Growing Ont of
the tiprfm C'nart'a Latest Opla
Ion In the Matter of th
Omaha (ommlitlot.
J. J. O'Connor now is, or claims to be,
member of the Board of Plre anil Police
commission.
When the board met In regular session at
It emce In tbe city hall Monday afternoon
O'Connor was there with a written appli
cation for permission to participate In Iti
deliberations. He also had hie commis
sion as a member of the board. Issued to
him by Governor Foynter and bearing date
March It. 1W0., to expire April 1, 1903. He
claimed that under the last ruling of the
supreme court the commission la vitalised.
"The way the matter stands now," said
lie, "I am tbe only legal member of this
board. You are de facto members, but
I am both a de facto member and a mem
ber do Jure."
The other members seemed deeply Im
pressed by this, and none had the hardi
hood to contradict the statement. His ap
plication waa ordered placed on file.
"I had no Idea it was as bad as that,"
aid Mayor Moores, "but If you say so. It
goes. Meanwhile we shall be pleased to
have your society. Have a chair."
' "Do I understand that I am to be per
mitted to participate in your delibera
tions?" asked O'Connor.
"How about that, gentlemen?" asked the
mayor, turning to Members Collins, Ken
nedy, Mead and Heafey. "Is he?"
Allowed Him to Take Part.
'Well," answered Kennedy, "we're not
going to deliberate very much today. Here
are applications from five firemen w!o want
a ten-day leave of absence each, and after
that will come the adjournment."
"It does really seim that the Ave of us
ought to be enough to do that," said Col
lins. , "We're solid on allowing these leaves of
absence," said Heafey. "Now If you'll prom
ise not to outvote us, we'll let you sit in."
"That's agreeable to me," said Mead.
,.6o, as there seemed to be no objection to
"the new member" sitting at the table
permission was granted by tacit consent,
end the question wss not put to a vote.
O'Connor retained his seat during the ses
sion. When the vote was called on whether
the leaves of absence should be allowed,
lie voted affirmatively with the others, and
be also voted en the motion to adjourn, but
the secretary did not record his votes, a
(act whloh he affected not to notice. The
greater part of the session was given over
to chaff similar to tbe foregoing.
Appointed by Poynter.
Attorney J. J. O'Connor waa appointed as
'a member of the Board of Fire and Police
omm is loners for a term of three years,
arch It, 1900. To serve with him on the
board the governor appointed Harry Mil
ler, William J. Broatch and Dr. J. H. Pea
fjody. Miller was to serve one year,
Broatch two years and Peabody four years.
Elnoe the terms of Miller and Broatch have
expired and Dr. Peabody has resigned,
O'Connor Is the only member of the board
created by Oovernor Poynter who has even
shadow of a claim upon the office.
The Miller - Broatch Peabody O'Connor
board waa a board In name only, since It
never performed the functions of Its office,
!t having been held by the Supreme court
In the fall of 1899 that the act of the leg
islature which placed tbe power of ap
pointment , in the hands of the governor
was unconstitutional.
At the time of O'Connor's appointment
another board, appointed by tbe mayor,
was holding office in Omaha. The attor-

oeys of the new board brought quo war
ranto proceedings as step preliminary to
securing control, but It failed ef Ha pur
pose. The supreme court held that the
rase was res Judicata, "Which In this esse
means," Said Mr. O'Connor, "that the eld
board bad no right to existence, but since
It did exist It could keep on existing."
Brosgkt In by Bedell.
The next time the matter came up John
Redell, former chief of the Are department,
was the ralator. He had been dismissed
by the present board, so brought proceed
ings to have the present board ousted and
to have the governor appoint a new board
In hope that he (Redell) would be rein
stated. Thia also failed. The supreme
court refused to mandamue the governor
to appoint the board.
The latest decision of the court la In
effect that it Is the duty of the governor
to appoint the board.
"Under this ruling," said O'Connor, "any
board that Is appointed by anyone except
the governor Is necessarily Illegal. I waa
appointed by the governor, so I bold the
office legally. I shall expect to have a
voice and rote at the meeting of the pres
ent board."
Mr. O'Connor declined to say what be
would do If denied a voice, but It la un
derstood that he will resort tar legal pro
ceedings to oust the entire board aa it now
exists.
Complicates the Case.
"this movement on the part of O'Con
nor complicates matters moat decidedly,"
said Mayor Moores, "and It la Impossible
to tell bow it will terminate.. Here Is a
board of six members, four of whom I ap
pointed and one of whom wae appointed by
the governor, the appointments having
been made under two distinct and antag
onistic laws. It Is aa Interesting mlxup."
Apropos of the new ruling of the su
preme court many discharged firemen and
policemen are returning to the city In
the hope of being relnatated. ' Captain
Haxe, Nick Halter and Captain Cormack
are among the old-time employes of the
city who have declared themselves so far,
also W. W. Cox, the hero of the "battle of
Cox'a Run." As yet no advices have been
received from At Stgwart.
MISTAKE MAKES FOOT RACE
Yoanar Man Leads Two Policemen a
Merry Daak Cn Leaven
worth Street.
A nephew of Edward H. Nash, 809 Park
avenue, had an experience with two police
officers wnom be thought were hold-up
men, and two police officers bad an experi
ence with Mr. Nephew, whom they thought
was a burglar, that not only tested the
sprinting ability of all three, but that
waked a half dosen alaepy residents of the
vicinity of Mr. Nash's home and scared the
greater part of Mr. Nephew's life out of
him, a few nights ago.
The nephew had missed the last car and
was compelled to walk home. At Twenty-
second and Leavenworth atreeta be apled
two men acting In a auspicious manner
acrosa the street, standing In the ahadow
of a telephone pole. Mr. Nephew walked
little more rapidly a few pacea and
looked back over bis aboulder. . The two
men were coming In his direction, and aa
there was not much else of not In that
direction be concluded they were coming
for blm. He struck a dog trot. So did
they. He broke Into a gallop. They called
to him to halt. He did the oppoelte at a
faster gait. The men took a fresh spurt.
The three then lined out up Leavenworth
street at a pace that kills. When almost
at Twenty-ninth the young man, though
slightly winded, took a fresh spurt and
ran around behind a building Into the
alley, and as th men came la atght they
saw blm mount tbe fence into a back yard.
On man followed . and the other ran
around to head blm off In front.
When both arrived at' the front of th
bouse they beard their burglar, between
his gaspt for breath, yanking at the screen
and yelling:
'Uncle Ed, open the door! They are after
mei"
Aa the two men reached the porch the
young man gave one more appeal to bis
Uncle Ed."
"My Ood, unclei It's too late,"
A white-robed individual opened the door
and oaught the young man as be tell In,
The police explained to the uncle. A half
doxen neighbors, who by; this time bad con
gregated, In company with th two police
officers, whose wideawakeneas bad caused
the commotion, walked away, discussing
the love of the twentieth century youth
lor late hours.

Twsnty-alxth and Douglas street and was
taken home unconscious, with his left leg
broken above the ankle, a deep gash In the
back of hie head and hla left shoulder badly
bruised and discolored. His condition Is

Mr. Brink wss discovered In the barn at
7:10 by a passing man. who stopped In to
talk to blm. He waa sitting on the edge of
a manger, his hands holding tightly to th
bridle reins on the horse, only partially
conscious. Blood from a deep gash In his
head had run down on hie clothing and bis
eyes bad th appearance of an Insane man.
The alarm waa given and the wounded
man was removed to his home at 2601 Doug-
la street and Dr. Porter summoned. The
left leg of the Injured man waa so badly
mangled that It is probable that amputa
tion will be necessary.
No one witnessed the fight between the
horse nd man and It la not known bow it
occurred. Mr. Brinks left his home at
an early hour to attend to bis horses and
he baa not rallied sufficiently to make a
statement.
He and hla family Intended to start yes
terday afternoon overland on a pleasure trip

he had gone to the barn to aee that bis
horses were In good condition, preparatory
to making the start. He has for a num
ber of years, aald Mrs. Brinks, been pas
sionately fond of his horses and had never
before been attacked by any of them.
While the family were attending to Mr.
Brinks, word was sent them that F. H.

SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNCIL
Passes Appropriation Ordinance and
Listens to BagrgeatlOA aa to
Improvements.
A Special meeting of the city council
was held Monday afternoon to pass the
monthly appropriation ordinance to pay all
bills Incurred by the city "during tbe month
of July and prior thereto." It carried an
aggregate of about $48,000. Before It final
reading It was amended by Inserting an
Item for 17,030.60 to pay Interest on cou
pons on apeclal Improvement bonds which
had been declared Invalid by the courts and
therefore had become an obligation upon
the general treasury. The ordinance was
passed by a unanlmoua vote.
J. H. Adams, assistant city attorney, made
an addreas to the council In which he ad
vised that no more paving, repaying or
grading be done by the council en anything
less than a unanlmoua petition until an
amendment could be secured to the city
charter altering or dispensing with tbe pres
ent petition system.
"Aa It is now," said he, "we can never
tell whether a petition Is a majority pe
tition or not, because we can't tell whether
the signers are In fact owners of the prop
erty for which they sign. A man may be
of record In the office of the register of
deeds aa owner of the property, but for
all we know to the contrary another man
to whom he baa conveyed It may have a
pocket deed. Then the man with the pocket
deed will bob up later to conteat the valid
ity of the Improvement and knock out the
bonds.
"It Is Impossible te avoid these compli
cations the way the charter reads now. It
eould be amended by dispensing with pe
titions and leaving the matter of whether
or not a street should be paved entirely
with the mayor or council, or it could be
amended by adding the words, 'as such
ownurshlp shall appear In the office of the
register of deeds.' I don't care to go on
record aa approving or disapproving either
of theee amendmenta, but I aay they offer
a possible solution of the problem."

Bee's Story Endorsed.
The following communication refers to
the story published In Th Bee yesterday
to the effect that the conductors and
brakemen on the Union Paclfle and every
other trunk line in America west of ths
St. Lawrence river would make a con
certed demand for an Increaae In wages on
August 15, of which story a Union Pacific
official yesterday said:
"The Bee'e story regarding dissatisfac
tion among ths trainmen is correct. We
do not know exactly the day on which
they Intend to make their demands, but
tor aome time we bav been aware that
thla thing was coming."
View of sv Trainman.
OMAHA. July 28. To the Editor of The
Be. Omaha: Dear Editor Trainmen may
not quit. In anawer to an article published
In The Pally Bee of July 28 I see an article
headed, "Trainmen May Quit," and that at
consiaeraoie oeie.il aid mis article put
forth, a damaging prestige to the conduc
tors and brakemen of th two orders In ths
United States.
In sDeakina of the railways belnsr con
fronted by a new and more comuTicated
phaae of labor trouble, which extends to
every trim line in me country west or tne
St. Lawrence river, will say that in the
first place I cannot see any reasonable
cause for serious trouble as tar as the ad
justment of railroad labor troubles are
concerned. In the first dace you will aee.
as every person who. haa given this labor
problem, especially In the railway train
service, a reasonable study, will see that
trainmen are not being paid per hour as
much as some of th meanest laborers In
this country. For Instance, stevedores on
are paid 35 cent per hour, which means t
cents an nour more man is paia oonauC'
tors and 15 centa more than brakemen.
Now. as far as labor troubles are con
cerned, taking into consideration the fair
ness of our demands, you will see, and It
must be readily admitted, that It requires
no small degree of Intelligence to handle
or intelligence to handu
ositlon of a train confluc
successfully the
Jo.mon ot a train conduo
alr or honest minded man
tor. And II an
sny lair or hones
can reason why that
why that a conductor whose
responsibilities are so Kreat should not re
celve more than thla kind of labor I would
like to know where his fairness begins. Bo
you will see that It la only reasonable that
we are asking for a reasonable da
pay
for a reasonable day s work. And I
. believe
taking Into consideration all these condi
tions snd circumstances, the general man
agements of our great railway Unas are
only waltlrig and expecting us to make
this demand, aa tney are not in tne habit
of giving up anything that la not asked
for.
Prim Canae ef Troable
And' In speaking of the Drlme cause of
nearly all our lanor troubles In the train
service, and, in ract, engine departments,
on our lines of railways. W Der cent out ol
100 serious complications have arisen and
have been brought about by the inconsist
ency of the subordinate officials. And as
far as schedule matters are concerned the
principal roads of this country today are
comDiuna or laying me lounaaiion ready
for the superstructure that Is to be built
upon it at tne appointed time,
And In speaking or some roads grantlnat
concessions asked for and others not, win
say that there will be no Individuality In
thla matter, but general. And Items at
issue will not be adjusted until they are
adjusted ss a whole.
It la understood by the Ksnsas City con
vention that the crvlnr need of todav
among railroad men lis the long hours that
railroad men are compelled to work
Eighteen, twenty, twenty-six and thirty
hours without any rest. Working far be
yond the capacity of anything except that
whlcA has sinews or steel and muscles ol
brass, fed by coal and worked by steam
Tnis is one or me prime reasons, jno
only for our own health, life and hapnl
ness, but the safety of the traveling public
demands It, and all we ask Is to be dealt
fairly with.
And In speaking of the machinists and
bollermakera' atrlke on the I'nlon Paelflo
will say that because of the laws govern
ine our orders we csn enter no oreenn
certed action along the line of sympathy
toward these people wno are now on striae,
But I assure you that our svmnathv and.
safe to ssy, a good deal of Individual money
will be donated to help these people who
are endeavoring to blot out forever the ac
eursed "sweat-snop system In this west
arn world, which is called "piecework."
Huiilng you will give this your kind and
carerul consideration. I remain,

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Petitioi to Allow Balooni to Open on Sua
(lay Show Up,
COUNCIL'S LICENSE COMMITTEE HAS IT
Pats Qnratlon Back to point Where
It Stood When Anti-Saloon
Leagae Commenced It
Agitation.
A petition containing about $.000 names
requesting th mayor and council to per
mit business bouses of all kinds to remain
open on Sunday waa presented to the coun
cil at the meeting held last night. The pe
titioners asserted that on account of the
closing of business houses here on Sunday
which, of course, mesne tbe saloons, as no
other business places hsve been Interfered
with, large eume of money are spent In
Omaha and other places on Bundsy, much
to the detriment of the business Interests
ot South Omaha.
After the reading of the petition the
mayor referred the document to the license
committee. There was no comment on the
petition by either the mayor or any ot the
members of the council during tbe session.
A dosen or more members of the Anti
Saloon league were present and remained
until adjournment, expecting that aome ac
tion would be taken on the petition.
The matter of Sunday closing Is now
right back where It was when the agitation
waa atarted by the Antt-Saloon league a
little over a month ago. When the ques
tion of Sundsy closing was first brought
to the attention of the council tbe matter
waa referred to the license committee,
which Is composed of Broderlck, Welsh and
Adklns. This committee In making a re
port referred the entire proposition to the
mayor and as the council had not seen fit
to take the responsibility the mayor ordered
the saloons closed. Now that the petition -to
open the saloons has been referred to
ths same committee which had charge of the
request to close the saloons there la con
siderable Interest manifested in the report
of the committee, which will under the reg
ular order of things be handed In next Mon
day night.
Through his attorney, H. C. Murphy, R.
J. Sutcllffe of Bellevue filed a claim for
damages In the sum of $1,500 against ths city
alleging serious and possible permanent in
juries. Some weeks ago Sutcllffe was thrown
from a wagon on Twenty-fourth atreet near
R atreet and was so badly injured that he
remained at the South Omaha hospital for
about ten days. It is alleged that the de
tective condition of the street caused the
accident.
Councilman Smith offered a resolution
directing the mayor to appoint August Mil
ler street commissioner. By a vote of 6 to
1 the resolution was turned down. '
Adklns offered a resolution directing the
appointment of a committee to wait upon
the officers of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany for the purpose of making some ar
rangement for an adequate fire alarm ser
vice. This waa carried and the mayor and
re and water committee will take the mat
ter up aome day thia week.
Only one bid was received for tbe repair
ing of the pavement on Twenty-fourth
street. That was from the Qrant Paving
company. It offered to lay asphalt tor $1.60
per cubic yard and concret base for 75
cents per cubic yard. Aa the bid waa consid
ered too high It was rejected.
A petition for an arc light at Seventeenth
and-Z streets was referred to the light
ing committee. '
The Hospital association asked that the
taxes on the property occupied be cancelled.
The flnanace committee will consider tbe
request.
A number of crosswalks and quite a num
ber of sidewalks and atreet repalra war
ordered, after which the council adjourned
until next Monday night.
Another Contract Let.
At an adjourned meeting of the Board
ot Education held last night the contract
for a two-room brick addition to the Al
bright school waa let. T. C. McDonald se
cured the work, his bid of $7,126 being the
