MEANS START OF A GENERAL WARFARE
Attorney for store Company Promises
to Press Actios Against Every
Other Saloon la tho
City.
Injunctions against the St on Brewing
company's saloons la this city were not
Issued yesterday by Judge Thornoll of the
district court, but It Is likely that they
will be some time today. On the canes
being called In court attorneys for Mrs.
Maggie Buck, tbe ostensible owner of the
buildings in which tho Stors company's
saloons are located, moved to havo the
suits against the saloons at the corner of
Broadway and Scott streets and Broadway
and Tenth streets removed to tho federal
court on the grounds that Mrs. Buck was
a nonresident of the state of Iowa. .
This was opposed by Attorney Benjamin,
who appears as plaintiff In the injunction
suits against the Stors company's saloons,
he contending that the action to restrain
the sale of liquor contrary to ttie mulct
law was In fact the enforcement of a penal
statute and therefore not transferable to
the federal court like an ordinary equity
or law cause would be. '
Judge Thornell In taking this question
under advisement said that his decision
would depend entirely on whether an In
junction suit was an enforcement of a penal
statute and that he was Inclined1 to tho
opinion that it was. In view of the court's
remarks It is believed that the injunctions
will be granted in tho six cases pending
today and that the removal of tho two to
the federal court will bo denied.
As soon as Attorney Benjamin secures his
Injunctions Attorney Wadsworth, repre
senting the Stors company's interests, will
retaliate by asking from tha court similar
restraining orders against every other sa
loon in the city, and what : tms final out
come will be no one seems able to foretell.

Expects Omaha to Help.
Alderman Casper announced yesterday
that he had a scheme for securing the
necessary funds with which to Improve
West Broadway, but that he was keeping
It under his hat for tha present, as he
was not aa yet prepared to make public
the details and he wished to think over
It further.
"All I ask," he said, "is that the city
council shall Stand back Of me In the
matter," and then explained that his
scheme contemplated donations 'from
Omaha sufficient to cover a large part of
the cost. How he expected to secure the
money from across the river, however,
Alderman Casper declined to say. To re
pave a strip sixteen feet Wide in Broad
way from Thirteenth street to the ap
proach to the motor company's bridge, Al
derman Casper estimated would cost from
K&.000 to 830,000, and of thla amount ha
said he expected from 812.000 to 810,000
would be contributed by Omaha parties,

plan will not be to exceed 83,000 and It will
all be done and out of the way Inside of
