WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. (Special Tele
gram.) J. P. Jenal of llartir.gton. Neb.,
special agent of the land department, has
been removed, and back fcf his removal Is
a very Interesting story. When Mr. Jenal
m-B Anrwtlntori mm ancll ItMlt of the land
" - -
office he was called to Washington to be-
come familiar with
the work of tha depart-
ment. After some weeks here he was sent
to Denver under the agent at that place,
having charge of three states. It has been
the custom of the department to call every
new special agent to tills city for Instruc
tions as to the methods In vogiis In ths
lajid department, and after certain prelimi
nary Instructions he ia sent Into the field
under the direction of some older official,
where he perfects himself In field work.
After a novitiate In the field working under
an older official the appointee la then .sent
Into a territory which he may call his own.
This is the esse of Mr. Jenal. He had
served time In the Meld with the agent at
Denver looking after land matters, when
on January 9 a telegram from the commis
sioner of the general land office went to
Mr. Jenal ordering him to BUckfoot, Idaho.
Mr. Jenal did not want to go any fsrther
west. He thought Denver was about as
far as he cared to penetrate, and he Imme
diately began to wire his friends here with
a view of having the order to Blackfoot
recalled. Congressman McCarthy, his
friend. Immediately became active and
called upon Assistant Commissioner Flmpla
and the chief of that division, asking that
Mr. Jenal be assigned to duty near his
home. Mr. Flniple told Congressman Mc
Carthy of the rule established In relation
to new special agents, that they had to
undergo a probationary term before In
coming full-fledged Inspectors and that In
the absence of Commissioner Richards hs
could do nothing. Mr. McCsrthy wired Mr.
Jenal urging him to take the Blockfoot as
signment. On January 10 Mr. Jenal telegraphed the
White House wanting to know If he was
to be transferred from Denver to Rlackfoot
to make place for some "Wyoming pets."
This telegram was sent to the land office.
In due course reselling Commissioner Rich
ards on January 14. Commissioner Rich
ards, recalling that tr. Jenal had been
loathe to leave home when bis appointment
was made and feeling the covert suggestion
that he was playing favorites, ordered Mr.
Jena I s removal.
The removal was Indorsed by Secretary
Hitchcock and was acquiesced in by Presi
dent Roosevelt.
Feelfng that there was a mistake made
Congressman McCarthy and Senator Mil
lard called on Saturday to see Commis
sioner Richards with a view of adjusting
the difficulties between the land office and
Mr. Jenal, but they were not successful)
and as It looks now Mr. Jenal Is separated
from the service.

chandise. Independent saluou owners of the slate
have precipitated a right against the brew
ers who seek to "corner" the business by
establishing numerous saloons in the vari
ous torn ns. Ernst of Johnson Introduce!
a bill In the house this afternoou which Is
the opening wedge. In brief the bill limits
the number of licensed saloons In tonus
under l.uro population tu on for every
people and in towns and cities of over
l.ofni population to one saloon for every s" ,
people.
t'nder present conditions this bill waul4
havs no effect Vt Omaha. Omaha now has
Jan salonns and the hoard of Fire and Po
lice Commissioners has taken a stand
against granting pry more licenses for ttit;
present yesr at least. Taking the popuT.
tion of the city at lU'.ono. this would make
ona saloon for every 473 persons, letting
the city under the wire by an essr msr
gin. But it ail depends, of course, on what
Omaha's population Is.
Promoters of the bill assert it will have
a tremendous effect In some of the smaller
towns and cities where the number of ss
loons will be material!- reduced that 1v
of course, providing the bill passes.
Iodge of iHmglas Is the author of s
bill which will be of vitsl interest In
Omaha and South Omaha. It provides that
no land within the city limits used ex
elusive. y for farm or agricultural purposes
shall 1 subject to city taxes that Is, aurh
land that Is unplatted. The Idea Is to
relieve owners of such land from the bur
den of city taxes since they, for this pa:--tlcular
land, receive none of the benefits
derived from city taxes. The bill pro
vides thst such land may be- removed from
the ally's Jurisdiction by process of pe
titioning the district court. Representative
Dodge says such a law Is In force In Iowa
and has given eminent satisfaction and
hs thinks It should he enacted in Ne
braska, as It Is sorely needed.

Dodge RIM Came t l In Committee
rtnrlna, the Day.
(From a Staff Correspondent.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Jan. 23 -(Speclal Tele-
gram. 1 A warm si ssion is promised w hen
the house committee on cities and towns
meet tomorrow st 2 p. m. to discuss the
Dodge bill, which proposes to make the
Omaha Water board the arbiter of
Omaha's destiny. By some of the promi
nent members of the legislature, this
measure Is regarded as the most drastic,
and radical' that has been introduced at
this, or any other session of the Nebraska
legislature and If the general trend of
sentiment, aa expressed In prirate Inter
views with members, is any criterion the
bill mill meet otic of the worst Waterlooe
ever dealt to pernicious legislation.
While A. H. Burnett and others from
Omaha have been kept in Lincoln to lobby
for this measure, apparently, their efforts
have not met with the succeers expected
by Its promoters, for It Is evident the
srntlment of the house is against the bill
on the grounds that It seeks lo foist upon
Omaha Impositions for which there Is no
warrant, doing this by Investing the sin
ecure water board with powers unlimited
in the control of the system and privileged
to favor, as against the Interests of the
city, the water works.
Dodge, who introduced this hill, pro
poses to make his most powerful effort
in addressing the committee on this bill.
It was rumored tonight thst R. B.
Howell, father of the original water
board bill and member of the senate last
session, would come to Lincoln In the
morning to reinforce Burnett, Dodge and
others who are making a last desperate
effort to hoodwink this legislature into
playing their political cards for them.
"We washed out enough of dirty linen
for these Omaha fellows two years ago,"
said a member from the western and of
the state tonight, and I for one object
to being used as a tool to help Impose any
more such outrageous legislation as em
bodied in this bill on Omaha or any other
community."
