Argument, on "the granting of a tempo rary Injunction restraining tb council from pausing tne Roeewater electric franchise ordinance was begun yesterday before Judge Dickinson. Judge Day. who was to hM tho case, having been called to Sarpy county to , hold court. One of the featurea waa the appearance of W. W. Morsman.' attorney for; the electric light company, aa an aid to Carl C. Wright, who haa been handling the application for the injunction, which waa made In the name of Btephen Rice. ; la the. answer filed by Councilman Harry B. ZImroan, one of the defendants, It la declared that Rice Is a laborer In the employ of the New Omaha Thomson. Houston Electric Light company and Is being used aa a tool by thla corporation to prevent the enactment of the Roeewater franchise ordinance. Rice waa In the court room Monday during the talking and aubmlasion of documentary evidence, but waa not called upon to tsatlfy. He Bled an affidavit declaring that he la a free holder, owning lota 24 and 25 In block 1 of Armstrongs First addition. According to City Attorney Connell. the "expense" of submitting the franchise matter to the people, which Rice objecta to, at the broad est calculation, would amount to about one-hundredth of a mill in taxes agalnat his property. Morasnaa Cltea Aathorltles. Although the city attorney outlined briefly hla aide of the caae, the greater part of the morning waa given over to Attorneys Wright and Morsman, the former arguing on the merits of the evidence and the lat ter citing numerous authorities from many aalfakin-bound volume. Mr. .Wright said $b temporary Injunc tion was asked for on two grounds; first, because there had been certain Irregulari ties In procedure in the council, the amended Roeewater ordinance, which ia practically the same as the Hascall or dinance, never having been published, and the amendments never having been recon sidered or revoked, and aecondly, that An drew Roeewater had no right to the fran chise because he la an officer of the city and the charter stipulates that no city employe- or officer ahall be Interested In con tract! with the municipality. City Attorney Connell aatd that the facta were agreed to and that the questions to be decided were those of law. "Thla seems to, be an attempt," he asserted, "to carry gov ernment by Injunction to the wildest ex treme. The ordinance that it Is now pro posed to pass after a third reading haa been read the first and aecond tlmea and pub lished. The amendments Introduced by Councilman Mount have not been reconsid ered. It Is true, but there ia no reason why they cannot be. Six votea may do it at aay time. Therefore the charter requirements Wilt be in everyway filled. Hays Coart Cannot laterfera. "The court cannot coma in and Interfere ' with the legislative action of the council any more than It can interfere with the legislature ' The, mere proposing of amend ments and, never carrying them Into effect could not invalidate the ordinance. 'It la true that Mr.' Roaewater, who wanta "this franchise question ub'mltUd to the; vote of the people, la the city engineer. It , la true. . alao, that hla term of office ex piree In May, and It ia safe to aay that Mr.' Rosewater will not be the city en gineer when he accepts this franchise, with in alxty daya after the election, provided It Si granted to blm. The desire of hla ad eraarlea Is to delay matters ao that the queatlon cannot be aubmltted at the aprlng election so that it the council passes the ordinance it will be too late to get It into the mayor'a proclamation. The time la growing short and if your honor had not been here this morning these people would have accomplished their . purpoae of de lay without regard to the right or wrong of the queatlon."

HE WANTS TO BE CHASTISED nave Aadersoa Trlee ta Apoloarlsa fa Booth Omaha Pollee (omnli. loa Graftrra. BOT.TH OMAHA, March . 1903. Editor of The Bee: Referring to your article. "Chastising South Omaha," I cheerfully atate with pride and pleasure that the new school law and fire and police measures both originated In the Taxpayera' league, both of which are calculated to advance and Improve the aoelal, moral and political situation In this public echool district and city In general. The movement In behalf of these bills haa behind It 9S per cent of the republican party, aa, yon see. only 85 or 60 votes out of 2,000 were polled at the primaries held last week. It has also the very best ele ment of the democratic party's support. Your reference to Mr. Van Duien'a valiant activity la support of these bills la totally misunderstood and certainly misconstrued. Mr. Van Duien Is not the father and first promoter of theae beneficent' bills. The committee from the taxpayers' league called upon him and, after ascertaining that he favored these measures, engaged him to draft the fire and police bill, as outlined by the league. Ita paisag through the legis lature and his efficient services are fully appreciated by all those favoring the bill, and they are a legion. It must be remem bered, however, that acoree of our business men and best cltltens have made frequent trlpa to Lincoln, for a time sacrificing their bualneas Interest and defraying their own expenses, to work with our lawmakers for the enactment into law of these laudsble measures. H la hlch time for our better cltlxenshlp and the people who furnish the money to run our local and atate governments to have a voice In legislative affairs. Cheap politi cians and demagogue have dominated the publle and political situation already too long. Why, let me ask, does not the organ of our grand old party Jump into the breach and aaelst to bring about a state of econ omy and reform In our local government.? The great Influence of the dally newspapers la aought and rightfully expected to asalat In the good work of Improving the condi tlona of aoetety and the people. In general, but how often la the worthy public dlsap pointed. No, South Omaha ia not being chastised. Only a handful of the agitators and office holders are a Uttte disconcerted, but the people ia general will be radically bene fited. D. ANDERSON. IECEW0RK AND AMBITION Oplaloa . at a Cernaa Maaaarer sad Exnertaaeat of aa Amer ican Railroad. OMAHA, March 20. To the Editor of The Bee: I have no peraonal Interest in this long atrlke of the Union Paclfio railway workmen further than that which every cltlxen takea In the welfare of hla fellow cltliene, and therefore we are all Inter ested. My sympathies are with the work men for the reason they are the sufferers. and they bear up well and undoubtedly be II eve they suffer In a Just cause. They de serve to win.' What haa made me think of writing thla abort letter I to call marked attention to a paragraph In Frank O. Car pentera letter In yeaterday'a Sunday Bee Among the Great Berlin Workahopa" (Mr. Carpenter'a lettera are always Interesting), which gives the opinion of Mr. Catton, the asaistant manager of the Union Elektellch Oeaellschaft in Berlin, employing 2.000 men, aa to tha effect of employing the men there by piecework. Mr. Catton aaya: "The Ger man laborer have not the same Incentives to work that wa Americana have. The Ger man system of employment 1 bad. Every' thing her la dona by piecework, and the price la gauged by what a man can do In a day. If he doea much more than haa been expected hla employers lower the price and the result la he haa to work twice aa hard for tha same money. There ta little chance to rlae. The common laborer aeldom be comes the head of the ahop, and aa a reault there Is an unexpressed enmity between the laborers and their mastsrs." Here la the opinion Of an American man ager la a large concern away from the acene Of the struggle here, and who possibly knows nothing of what la taking place. Such a man'a opinion ahould carry much weignt with It, and I would hope It will be taken notice of, and for that reaaon I write The Bee, and I would also hope that those who took up the stand to Introduce piece work Into the Union Paclfio shops can aea they took up a wrong position and will with good grace give up the fight and not continue It almply to try to win. P. L, FORQAN, Sells His Niece for Seventy Dollars A curious slave-girl suit waa heard one day last week before a Justice in Diamond, a small town a few miles north of Br axil lnd. James Vanso claimed tbat he had paid Antoola Plana 270 tor hla niece, but that after the deal had been transacted the girl refused to wed him and he brought auit to recover the money. The Justice decided In favor of the defendant and Vacuo will ap peal the caae. Anna Plana, the niece, la a pretty girl aged IS years, who arrived from Aus trla a few weeks ago to marry William Mundy, an old aveetheart, but two daya before the date set for the ceremony Mundy waa killed by falling alata. The girl uncle then put hla niece up for sale, but when the girl waa informed of It ahe re fused to wed. A Spralaad Aakla ttalakly Carod.

FIXES RATES FOR SHAVING Barbers' I'ntoa Makes Hew Bealw, to Go Iato Eflet Nest Wednesday. Beginning Wednesday morning the new rale of the Barber' union will go. into effect and patrons of the shops will be given an opportunity to choose the char acter of ahave they dealre. for the union ha divided the ahop of the elty Into two claise, one where ahavea will cost IS csnt and the other where a ahave can be aa- cured for 10 eenta. There will be no dif ference In the ahave, but the concomitant will vary with the price. If you desire to have your mustache curled or the super fluous hair removed from your neck the shave will cost 15 cents and you can have two warm towela with the proceas. If you cars not how the hair on your upper lip may wander, or have Joined the smooth faced brigade, the ahave, minus all but the towela, will cost 10 cents. The secretary of the Barbers' union explains the reasons for the change aa follows: "It takes tenmluutes to shave a man if you do not have to curl his mustache or shave his neck. It take fifteen minute to complete the shave it you have to do the thing. The barber 1 paid by the week up to a certain amount and then receive a commission on ail work don over a certain amount. We have fixed theae prlcea ao that a man working In either a 10-cent ahops or a lS-cent ahop may make the ame amount of money. "Heretofore a number of shop have been doing work for 10 cent for which other hop charge 15 cent, and thua they have drawn trade from houses which have paid comparatively better wages. The new scale Is to make all shop charge alike for the aame eervlce. When we first sub mitted the scsls ws fixed a price of 25 cent for hair cutting in th hop wher 15 cent 1 charged for shsvtng. but upon the requeat of the proprletora we placed all hon at 25 cent with th understand ing that eight down-town ahop which have heretofore charged 10 cent wpuld adopt the higher cale. Thl cale will be dls clayed in all union ahop.
