Another Property Owner Secures Injunc

MOTOR COMPANY NOT A PARTY THIS TIME
In This Manner Case Is Kept Oat
of Federal Court, Which Had
Passed 1 pon the Pre
vious (an,
Fresh complications arose yesterday In
the controversy over the vacation of the
streets and alleys at Manawa asked for
by the street railway company. The pro
ceedings before the Board of Supervisors
were bi ought to a sudden termination, at
least for the time being, by a temporary
injunction served on them at the Instance
of A. O. Gilbert, who owns a large tract
of land at the lake.
The suit begun by Mr. Gilbert was filed
In the superior court and in the absence
of Judge Scott from the city, Judge Whee ler
of the district court issued the temporary
restraining order and aet the hearing on
the application for the temporary injunc
tion for Monday next.
In his suit Mr. Gilbert makeo the Board
of Supervisors sole defendant, the motor
company not being Included, as It was in
the previous suit. Mr. Gilbert was not a
party to the other suit, which was trans
ferred to the United Slates court by the
motor company, und therefore was free to
bring an action on his own behalf, he not
being affected by Judge. McPhersons rul
ing. Among the grounds on which he buses
his suit, Mr. Gilbert seta forth the fact
that he was never served with notice of
the proceedings before the county super
visors, as provided by law.' For some rea
son, it appears that the motor company
had Ignored the fact that Mr. Gilbert was
owner of considerable land at Lake Man
awa. Mr. Gilbert owis a large tract of land
fronting on the lake just west of the club
house of the Rowing association, also a
lot 130x35 feet Inside the motor company's
enclosure.
The local attorneys of the nv t com
pany lost no time after the ser -.i. of the
temporary injunction on the county super
visors in filing a motion to dissolve or mod
ify the restraining order. Subject to the
motion to dissolve the temporary injunction
they ask that It be modified so as to oniy
refer to the county road known as Main
street, which lies west of the inclosure.
They asked that the hearing on their mo
tion to dissolve be had this morning be
fore Judge Wheeler.

erty to apply on any deficiency, nnd It Is
claimed by these creditors that the State
Bank of Chicago concurred in this ar
rangement. The State Bank of Chicago,
however, hit commenced an attachment
suit against Judge Green In the circuit
court of Cook county, Illinois, and levied
upon some real estate Interests owned by
Judge Green there for the purpose of sub
jecting all of that property to the payment
of Its debt to the exclusion of the other
creditors. The only way for the other
creditors to protect themselves against
this was by tho filing of the petition, thus
making all the creditors share equally in
the property.
It Is understood that, while Judge Green
had hoped to be able to have the matter
adjusted according to the original arrange
ments, he appreciates the fact that the
commencement of the cane In Chicago
makes the filing of thb petition necessity
to protect his other creditors and to bring
about an equitable distribution of his prop
erty among all of them.
IVTERAI, VACCIATIOS BAIIHl'U
Judge Green Declines to Modify Ills
Original Order.
The effort of the Board of Education to
secure a modification of Judge Green's
decree In the vaccination case has failed
and under an additional ruling received
yesterday only certificates of vaccination
In the manner prescribed by the rules of
the State Board of Health can be accepted
by the school authorities. This means
that teachers, Janitors and pupils who
have been vaccinated by the Internal or
homeopathic method must be deburred
from the schools.
Tho Board of Health, through its attor
ney, N. M. Puscy, opposed the applica

additional order be made defining the
character of the certificates to be accepted
by the Bchool authorities. This additional
order, as asked for, was received here yes

Action.
Proceedings in Involuntary bankruptcy
were yesterday commenced against Judge
W. R. Green by three of his creditors, As
mus Boysen, administrator of the estate
of F. N. Leet; Alfred Blrkhofer and the
Stewart Lumber company. These three
claims aggregate about $15,000. and Judge
Green became liable thereon through his
connection with the Green Cattle company,
which failed about a year ago.
The Immediate cause of the commence

attachment suit commenced by the State
Bank of Chicago ngalnst Judge Green, In
which mine real estate belonging to Judge
Green was attached for a claim against the
Green Cattle company. At the time the

DES MOINES, April 21.-tSpeclal.)
Trouble for the discipline of the Iowa Na
tional Guard Is predicted by members of
the guard because of the political maneu
vers that have been made of lute. There
is a strong competition among the cities
that have no guard company to obtain
one. Immediately after the company at
Albla was mustered out the company at
Clinton was mustered In, and now Albla
wants to keep Its company, and the citi
zens have been promised a hearing by the
governor, April 28. But the Fifty-fourth
regiment Is full with the Clinton company
and there Is no place for Albla, even tf
the citizens there are successful In prov
ing tn the governor that the company
should not be mustered out. In the mean
time the citizens of Fort Madison, which
Is also In the territory of the Fifty-fourth,
claim they have the promise that a com
pany will be enlisted and organized there.
It Is understood that the Inspectors have
recommended that Wlnterset and Osceola
be mustered out for Inefficiency. It Is
claimed there Is a move on foot to put
Oskaloosa In the territory of the Fifty
fifth, where Wlnterset Is now, and thus
rr.ake a vacancy for filling the promise to
Fort Madison. In the meantime discipline
is being sacrificed because every company
mustered out for Inefficiency thinks It hus
a chance to retain it9 place by protesting.
The people of Albla are raising the claim
that that company was put to a disad
vantage because the armory burned nnd
It was forced to make a bad showing un
der the circumstances. This Is Incorrect.
The Inspectors had completed their In
spection of the company and the armory,
arsl the armory was burned down the same
evening, but the Inspection had been com
pleted and the report of tho Inspectors
does not mention the burning of the
armory.
Employes Working for Spry.
A movement Is on foot among certain
of the employes of the statehouse to bring
Influence to bear to secure the retention
of William Spry of the engineering force
as the chief engineer to succeed J. S.
Goodrell. Mr. Spry Is the assistant, and
it is claimed Is more familiar with the
statehouse and the engineering work than
anyone about the building, including En
gineer Goodrell. However, the word has
gone out that Mr. Spry will not be pro
moted, but that an effort Is being made
to find a man who has had training other
than that from service under an engineer.

OMAHA GROCERSOBEY THE LAW
Do Not llnndlr Urnan anil Are C'un
seiinently Immune from I'hnr
inneentleal Prosecution.
Omaha grocers and druggists are very
much Interested In the conviction of South
Omaha grocers for selling castor oil and
a few other family remedies which come
within the drug department. H seems to
be the general Idea, however, that Omaha
grocers are not guilty of any Infringement
of the letter of the law, which prohibits
the grocer from selling drugs.
"1 do not know of any grocers In this
city who are (telling castor oil or any mher
drugs," said Charles D. Ueaton. "They
are not allowed, to do so by the state
pharmaceutical law. and all that Is neces
sary Is to lodge a cojeiplalnt mid the state
board will start proceedings. The selling
of castor oil is distinctly a violation of this
law. They usually sell certain herbs
which are also really within the law, Hut
nobody minds that, as tho amount is not
large. The trouble In that If they begin
to sell one little thing or another they keep
adding until they are selling patent med
icines and all sorts of things which they
have no fight to do. As far as I know,
however, the Omaha grocers are not break
ing Into our trade."
A. H. Oladstone 1s also of the opinion
that Omaha grocers are not dipping into
the drug business.
"Insofar as the down-town groceries are
concerned," h said, "I know that none
of them are selling any drugs whatever.
As to the outside grocers, I am not cer
tain, but I think they do not either, for
the law is rather strict In such matters.
Of course. It would be an advantage to a
man with a store on the edge of town,
some blocks from any drug store, to carry
a few simple things for which customers
are always asking. But In the down-town
district there would be no demand from
the customers for such things."

BREEN ON PAVING PETITIONS
City Attorney Decides that Some
Vending Are Good and Others
Are Not.
City Attorney Breen has decided that
petitions calling for paving filed with the
city clerk before the new charter was
passed and took effect, und und,er which
bids have not been obtained, are valid
nnd that new peltlons calling for the same
Improvements are not necessary. The
legal department has had the question un
der advisement for some time, the point
Involved being that the new charter re
quires all signatures on petitions of tho
kind to be dated and acknowledged before
a notary public. There ure ubout sixteen
petitions for paving on file. One of them,
calling for paving on Twentieth street
from Dodge to Farnam, has had the con
tract awarded to Charles K. Fanning for
brick block, but the contract was not ap
proved, owing to differences over the 1904
paving specifications. The city attorney
says that the proceedings with regard V)
this street are void, Inasmuch as they
have passed the point of designating ma
terial and for other reasons. Petitions that
awaited action, however, are good.
"The way 1b clear for all of this paving
just as soon as the city engineer makes
paving specifications which are approved
by the mayor and council," says the city
attorney, "ThiB Is to be done as soon as
possible, or within a short time. Then the
council can advertise for bids, the prop
erty owners will designate the specific ma
terial they desire and the work can go
ahead. We expect litigation from dis
gruntled paving contractors, but we are
perfectly willing to Make the test. The
council Is In a mind to use a short shift
with any one who tries to block paving
or other public Improvements."
CLOSE OF THE SKATING RINK
Andltorlnra Will Lay Away Its
Wheels for tho Senaon After
Tonlicht.
The Auditorium roller rink will close the
season tonight unless there should he some
extraordinary demand for a few special
nights of sktlng the latter part of next
week after the Shrlners' reception. While
the attendance is still good and the skaters
seem to enjoy the sport, Manager Glllan
realizes that the first spell of real warm
weather would cut the skating short and
that it Is likely to come at any time
now.
Last night there was .a novel and very
enjoyable feature Introduced in .the ,form
of a Maypole skate. Floor Manager
Ilgby and a dozen of the best skaters,
both women and men, wound the May
pole In the national colors,, while the band
played a slow waltz and the large audi
ence frequently rewarded the skaters with
enthusiastic applause.
There will be skating this afternoon and
tonight and the wheels will then be laid
away until next fall, when the rink will
be equipped with a new maple floor and
everytning put in excellent shape for a
tine season of skating.

NO RECEIVER FOR THE PAXTON
Supreme Court Reverses Decision of
Lower Court In the Hotel
Ce.se.
"So far as we are concerned," said Ralph
Kitchen, "the decision handed down In
Lincoln by which the supreme court de
cllned to appoint a receiver for the Faxton
ends the controversy. We do not know
what Mr. Miller may choose to do, but the
court has reversed the decision of a year
ago, by which Judge Jaxter granted the
petition for the appointment oi a receiver.
We received notice of the reversal last
night, end It was stated that the court
would not appoint a receiver for a business
which was being run on a paying basis."
Rome Miller had heard nothing of the
action of the Lincoln court until shown The
"I am hardly prepared to say anything,
he said. "I have not seen the text of the
another wholesale grocery house to take decision and have not had time to consult
the place of the Stewart Uros.' company. ' with my attorneys. Hut this seems to be a
decision on only one point and dues not ef
fect the main Issues."
The refusal to grant a receiver for the
I'axton Is the latest step tn a long drawn
out contest between the Kitchens and Rome
Miller as the principal stockholder In the
hotel company. At the hearing In the dls
trict court the replication for a receiver
waa granted, but the receiver was never ap
pointed. At the present time other points

her a decent burial, nnd with the re

desire was to get her to his boyhood's

for by her grandmother. He also wished
to buy flowers with which to decorate
the grave of his wife on Easter day.
After being directed to a place which
would accommodate him, he went uptown.

officers that he had obtained the necessary
amount of money.
