THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1003. . CANDIDATES FILE TEST CASE aiplrtnU for County Commiwioner Press Claim for Place, on Ticket. WILL CARRY FIGHT TO SUPREME COURT olomoa, Vre and llantrr Demand to Kstaw ,Whr Trraaarer and tlrrlt Did Mot Accrpt A IntlmMM In Th lie ftundajr morning the prospective candidates for county com missioner In the Third and Fifth district m-ho offered their money and had It refused are going to a higher court. Tha opinion of the attorney general said the Uw of the legislature would not be questioned by the legal department of the tata government until the occasion arose. Saturday' developments In the office of the county treasurer and county clerk, chronicled In Sunday's Bee, Indicated that thera were men who were doubtful of the effect of the law relating to county com missioners and other officers In the bills which were not passed on by the supreme court. After offering their filing fees Saturday Messrs. Solomon, Ure and Hunter, repub cans, and Charles Tracy, deirocrat, con sulted their attorneys, and Mr. Solomon and Mr, Ure, acting as the advance guard of the questioners of the legislative act, Monday filed a suit to test the virtue of the law. The suit Is entitled State of Nebraska X rel Emmett O. Solomon and William Q. Vre, relators, against John C. Drexel, county clerk, and Robert O. Fink, county treasurer. It la understood Henry Ostrom, former toani commissioner also la a party to the suit. nedlck Grant Order. On application Judge Redlck, sitting In chamber, gi anted an order on defendants to sl.nw cause Wednesday morning, August 2M, why they should not place the names of the petitioners on the primary ballot as candidates for the office of county com- inlKsloner. If this order shag be granted, and the prayer of the petitioners prevail. It will mean the county clerk and treasurer will have to show cause why they do not accept the money of petitioners and place their names on the primary ballot. Should Judge Redlck decide that peti tioners Solomon, Ure and Hunter, repub licans, are entitled to a place on the bal lot, then attorneys for Charles A. Tracy, the cigar man, will ask that he also be Incliidnd. The two county officials named will, of course, refuse to comply with the order of the court and County Attorney 81a baugh will pick up the fight right there. Which ever way the decision of the Judge may go, there will be an appeal to the supreme court. As this latter body does not meet until September 4, all hands will have to wait until a day or two after that date for a decision; but the men who have tendered their money figure that the decis ion Will distinctly favor their case. ' Breea Bays Officials Erred. Attorney Breen says: "The county clerk and the mimiv tru,. urer are wrong4. A close study of the law under which these officials take their po sition shows it provides that counties that change from the three to the five com missioner plan, shall elect the two new oinrers at the next general election on an even numbered year. Now, Douglas county has had five commissioners for twelve yoars, and the t.ew law simply does not apply. As a result the general election laws govern, and In my opinion, the terms of the commissioners from the Third and Fifth district expire this year, and their successors must be nominated and elected this fall. We do not Intend to test the constitutionality of the law, but to prove that It Is not germane to the affairs of Douglas County."

CASOLINE ENGINE GOES OUT Pans at Saunders School Will Ban bj Motor Hereafter. SCHOOL BOARD SEEKS TO RELIEVE JANITOR No More C'rnnklnK to Start Engine or Trouble with Sparker, Not to Speak of Smell of Gasoline. Pupils of the Saunders school no longer will have their esthetic sense offended by the smell of gasoline. The Board of Edu cation last night decided to Jerk out tha gasoline engine that has furnished power to operate the fans for three years and to put In an electric motor. The gasoline en gine will be sold and the new motor will cost t'J0. Here Is a list of the reasons given by Member Rice for the change: Will prevent the Jiinitor from getting fatigued applying crank. Will give the board a chance to clip $3 a montn off the Janitor's salary. Will save money In the long run in mat ter of repairs. Will obviate the unpleasant smell Of gasoline in the basement and school. Will lessen the chances of an explosion and demolition of the building. Will enable the board to pay from : to l.TO a month for electric power Instead of 1S for gasoline, plus $5 bonus to the Janitor for "cranking" or making the sparker mark. , Secretury Burgess skeletonised the read ing of the minutes and thereby saved much time. In return he received a two weeks' vacation, the first In five years, which he ' will spend with a daughter in Canada.

She spent the entire season In New Tork, and was a tremendous success. This season she Is making a hurried tiip to the Pacific coast, and will be in Omaha for one night only.

When the members met last night this was one of the first matters of business to come up. The buildings and grounds com mittee reported that none of the additions to schools would be completed for some wteks and rooms will b rented temporarally In the districts where the schools were overcrowded last year. It was for tho purpose of giving the committee time to rent outside rooms and furnish them that the opening date was deferred for one week beyond the usual time. Janitors were assigned as follows: High School Frank Voeasek; firemen J. B. Smith, James Hamilton. Central Harry Real, John Klupnaur. Lincoln Ed Johnson. John McAdams. Hawthorne A. Christiansen, ' R. Blgelow. Jungmann D. D. Sullivan, William Fir man. Brown Park John Kubat, Peter Henkle. Madison J. C. Rlngo, Mrs. L. Horenson. Highland Guy Seater. John Dworak. West Side Martin Telg. l. B. Belden.

Five sets of encyclopedias and the same number of pictorial and historical .maps will be purchased. The board then adjourned until the next regular meeting. Council Meeting Tame. President Adklns occupied the chair at the meeting of the council Monday night owing to the absence of Mayor Koutsky. Ordinances were to have been presented for the paving of Twenty-fourth street from A to Q. City Attorney Lambert had failed to get, the ordinances prepared In time and a meeting is to- be held on Wednesday night, when the ordinances may be .ready. It was the same with accepting the plans for the fire department headquarters build ing. The matter of accepting or declining the plans was talked over, but no decision was reached. It was agreed, however, that this matter would also be considered Wednesday night. A favorable report was made on the or dinance for the grading of Twenty-second street from S to Y. This, ordinance can now go to the second and third reading. One permanent sidewalk ordinance was passed and one was Introduced, The session was the shortest for some time and was wholly without interest. Ken yon Files Protest. W. J. C. Kenyon. general manager of the Union Stock Yards company, has sent to the mayor and council a protest against the granting of a petition filed by J. C, Caldwell a couple of weeks ago. Caldwell asks the city to give him permls slon t? erect a frame structure at the east end of the Q street Viaduct. It Is under stood that Mr. CaldweH wants to open a candy and cigar store. ' . Mr. Kenyon's remonstrance is based on the grounds that the viaduct 1b kept In re pair by the Union Pacific and the Union Stock Yards company and officials of these companies do not want to run the risk of fire In this proposed small building damag ing the bridge. In addition to a general protest, the general manager of the Stock Yards company serves notice on the city that If the Caldwell request Is granted the railroad companies will decline to make repair in case the viaduct Is damaged by reason of the erection of the proposed frame structure. After being read to the council last night the protest was ordered filed. Moving School Annex. A portion of the old high school annex Is being moved from Twenty-sixth and M street to Brown park. The section now at tached to a cable la being hauled east on M street. When between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth street Monday afternoon a number of large electric wires had to be taken down. Electric lights and fans In the business portion of the city could not be used for an hour or so. It will probably take about two weeks to get both of the sections of the building moved and placed on foundations. Masons Will riralc.

Tho majority of the seventy cars consisted of killers and feeder buyers were disappointed. Feeders are badly .wanted here, but some wise ones declare that the feeders are being held hack as long as possible on account of the fine range. On account of the heavy receipts the prices fell off on both packers' supplies and killers. Frank Miller Injured.
