Notices of the new scale have been served at all offices and consultation with the proprietor have been held. There was a meeting ot the Typographical union committee last evening to take final action In the matter. There 1 one point still unsettled. The printer dttnaod piece scale of 40 cent's per 1.000 tor" hand composition, but this may b waived It the other demands are conceded. The employers object to the Increase, which approximates 15 per cent all around, taking Into consideration the reduction ot the time one hour a week, and they point to the fact that certain classes of work formerly done in this city have been sent to other places. Chief among these is the telephone directory, a quarterly public tion which has been sent to a Lincoln office because that office can do the work cheaper, and a atandlng order for soap wrapper for a South Omaha concern which ha been sent to St. Loul. while other work placed on bids has been sent from the city. Some of the proprietor have told the committee that they oan not stand the Increase, but members of the committee say that the new scale will go into effect anyway. .

Glenn was resumed today, the defense renewed Its request thst Generals Chaffee and Smith R(1 other witnesses be summoned from the United Statea. The court refused this request for the present. The argument today developed sensational features. In opening the defense announced tbat It had declined to submit tb Inter rogatories for depositions ordered by tbe secretsry of war on the ground that the question of summoning wtneeses rested with the court, and submitted a written argu ment, arguing the right and Justice ot hav ing witnesses. It was charged by the defense that the records of the Sixth brigade, commanded by Oeneral Smith, had been tampered with and that Important documenta had been ab stracted. The defense wished to examine General Smith as to the documents and certain written and verbal ordero for the purpose of showing the character of the campaign Oeneral Smith desired to hv waged. General Chaffee wa wanted a a wit ness for the purpose of obtaining certain orders and documents which war not re corded at division headquarters. It was also declared that Oeneral Chaffee had sent a telegram to the Department ot Southern Luson, where Csbulle's force was operation clad in American u til terms. The text of this ' telegram is given ss follows: The division commander directs that no matter what measures be adopted, Informa tion as to the whereaoouts of tins lorce must be obtained. The defense argued that thia order au thorized the application ot the water cure and said that officers in the field so con sidered IL If this interpretation was proper General Chaffee was entitled to the oppor tunity to show why h had failed to Inter, fere to prevent officers being court-mar tialed for executing tbe order. A copy of a telegram sent by Secretary Root to General Chaffee when the form-r thought Major Glenn's trial would take place In San Francisco was also produced and instructed the general to send to Ban Francisco any witnesses Major Glenn de sired. The defense pointed out that when this message was lent war exlated, but now peace prevailed, and asked why the policy had been changed, why It was incompatible to the publte Interest to send General Bmlth, now retired, and Mr. Conkiln, a civilian, to Manila. If the witnesses were denied the documenta enumerated In the witnesses' aubpoenae were asked for. Major Louis F. Goodler, for the prosecu tion, held the decision given by Secretary Root in the matter to be final and charged the defense with seeking to force the court to go on record aa disapproving Secretary Root's decision. Major Goodler said the documents sought could b attached to the depositions and that the present wss not a proper time to ralae a constitutional question. The testi mony' will be taken tomorrow.

Testimony was presented before the Board ot Fire and Police Commissioners yesterday afternoon In support of several of the protests filed recently by I. J. Dunn against the issuance ot licenses to certain saloons, but none of the esses was de cided. The hearing brought together quite sn array of legal talent, each of the brew ery Arms and several of the saloonkeepers being represented by counsel. Much atten tion waa given to the record, which la be ing taken by a court reporter, and although Chairman Broatch presided, he was prompted in his rulings on legal points by Commissioner Wright. The first case taken up was that of William Buthorn, landlord of the Schllts hotel, and after questioning Mr. Buthorn briefly as to his ownership of the hotel business, Mr. Dunn withdrew the third clause of his complaint In the caae, which alleged that the real party in Interest was not the applicant, but that the license was sought In the Interest of the Schllts Brew ing company.

Thl caae waa taken under advisement. Next were taken up the two applications In the name of B. Jensen, bookkeeper of the Omaha branch of the Schllts Brewing company, for 1424 South Fourth street and 1209 South First street, respectively. Both of the cases were tried together, and In the absence of Mr. Jensen, Otto Siemseen, local agent of the Schliti company, waa questioned at considerable length as to the control of the licenses and the saloons by his corporation and the contracts between the company and the tenant of the saloons. Both cases were taken under ad visement. The case of William Krug, In whoee name a license was applied for at 1002 South Thirteenth street, waa tried and Mr. Krug was questioned to much the same effect aa Mr. Siemssen. The case waa taken under advisement. Drew Denied n License.
