An effort was made Tuesday to secure some ort of an agreement between the archi tect and the committee on public build ings, i tnles a start on the building la made before long there Is a possibility that the construction may be postponed until next spring. This fight on the fire hall plans Is getting to be quite personal between some of the members of the coun cil and also between rival architects. Moving; Reboot Knllrilna; Expensive. When George Crush, an Omaha house mover, was given the contract to move the frame school building from Twenty sixth and M streets to Brown park, he did not look for all the grief he Is having First, there was a delay of two weeks In getting started. Then when the main portion of the building waa started on rollers a corner of the building snapped oft a Postal telegraph pole at the corner of Twenty-sixth and M streets and put the service at the exchange out of busi ness aa well as stopping the electrlo ma chinery at the Journal-Stockman building it the 'yards. Monday afternoon the elec tric light company had to take down Its wires- to let the building pass and this ihut off lights and fans In all the terri tory south of M street. The' greatest trouble is to come tonight when the six big telephone cables at Twenty-fourth and M streets must be raised seven feet from the high poles that MV (ham fli( I nln- n Kn " J 111.

In case the tele phone cables cannot be lifted high enough a portion of the roof of the building will have to be torn away. Crush gets $400 for the moving. ' Electric light and tele photic managers here say the expense of lilting down and raising their wires will amount to this gum If not more. It was stated Tuesday that the Postal company proposed putting In a claim . for damages against Grush for destroying a pole and .causing quite a 'delay In the transaction of huslness. . , Heat Hard on Horses. Grading contractors and those doing heavy hauling assert that the heat of the last few days has been exceptionally hard on horses. Where grading Is going on the horses are not urged at all, but allowed to move along at a slow. walk.

Cathers Holds I'p HI Fence. OMAHA, Aug. 22. -To the Editor of The Bee: There appeared in your paper on last Saturday, August 19, an article saying that one W. E. Btochham had protested agalnxt the city paying my claim for $3,500 for the land fenced at Twentieth and Lo cust streets. The article also said that I hod ottared to take $3,500 for It. I have no claim against the city and never will have for the land in question, nor did I offer to take $3,500 for It. The filing of the protest with the comptroller was decidedly flat, when there was no claim on file to protest against. That fence seems to give some people considerable annoyance. I took the land from parties who owed me and were not able to pay me in money. The taxes had not been paid for twelve years and I was forced to pay them. The land wanted by the city was taxed with the balance ot the lot and the city refused to make any re duction in the taxes for that portion in the street, which amounts to about three Kountxe Place lots. I know of no one who Is so generous as ' to pay twelve years' taxes on a piece at ground and then give it to the city. There have been several lawsuits about that strip of land and the courts have in variably held against tha city. I have a' permanent Injunction against the city In terfering with It In any way. I have never asked the city to buy it and never will, and the fence will remain there until I get ready to take it down. JOHN T. CATHERS. Pope Not Polk. OMAHA. Aug. 22. To the Editor of The Bee: Whereas one J. A. Pope, Presbyterian, who arrived in the city of Omaha a few weeks ago and who has had a series of trouble and was written up In the different papers from the time, many of the pub lic are Impressed with the Idea that it Is the Rev. H. D. Polk, pastor of the Mt. Morlah Baptist church of this city, hence, we take this step to disabuse the minds of the public of such false impression. Rev. II. D. Polk has been pastor of the Mt. Morlah Baptist church for nearly three years and Is also a member of tlss Twin City alliance and has not had any trouble whatever. REV. J. W. WILSON, President ot the Alliance and Pastor of 8t.

COUNTY OFFICIALS AND LAWYERS AGREE Slabaash Will Prepnre Order on Coontr Conrt Denylnar Applica tion for Apprnlarra Here tofore Made to Conrt. At a conference Tuesday between County Attorney Slabaugh and County Judge Vln sonhaler, which was attended by two-score lawyers representing various estates which have passed through or are still pending In the probate court, a method of pro cedure was agreed on to test the constitu tionality of the state Inheritance tax law. Judge Slabaugh will prepare an order for presentation to the county court Fri day morning, which will be a denial of the application for the appointment of appraisers for. a list of estates heretofore made to the county court. The order will be made specifically in the case of the estate of the late Roxena Kendall. This estate disposed of something like $40,000 which might be subject to the state tax. Following the journal entry of this order of refusal to appoint appraisers, the county attorney will apply to the supreme court as soon as It convenes, or as soon as two Judges can be gotten together in Lincoln, fir a writ of mandamus to have Judge Vlnsonhaler show cause why an order should not be granted compelling him to appoint the appraisers, as asked, with a view to having the estate valued for the purpose of collecting the Inheritance tax. Attorneys Agree to Plan, The attorneys present agreed with the county attorney that In this way the whole question of the constitutionality of the law as first paased, and as amended to provide for devoting the money so raised to the construction of permanent county roadways, will thus be raised. The lawyers were also of the opinion that the supreme court will be willing to take original Juris diction In this case, for the reason that all the counties of the state are concerned in the outcome, and for the further reason that the tax. If held constitutional. Is a Hen on all the property of the decedent per sons and against the administrators and devisees and bears T per cent Interest from the day of death. The appeal now pending In the Ben B. Wood case. In which the county Judge held the state law unconstitutional, will be al lowed to rest where It is until the new procedure reaches a conclusion. At the conference Judge Vlnsonhaler said he saw no reason to reconsider the decision he had made in the Wood estate, which had the effect of discharging the administrator without the state Inheritance tax being first paid.

"Mrs. Blaek Is Back" nt tha Boyd. May Irwin and company In "Mrs Black Is Park," a farce In three acts, by George V. Hobart. The cast: Mrs Idack Miss Irwin Professor Black Roland Carter Lmlly Mason, Mrs. Black's sister Jane Burby Prisctlla Black, Mrs. Black's slster-ln- law little Pt.iveley Jack Dangerfleld, Mrs. Black's only son John E. Hasard Larry McManua, Mrs. Black's son's valet Edward P.

Mlsa Brant. Agnes Smith, Kathleen Burr, Edna Mitchell, Nina Collins. May Irwin ought to feel highly com plimented by the fact that she flMed the Boyd theater to the doora on one of the hottest nights of the summer. She ap parently appreciated the fact that she Is locally popular, for she worked hard to please the audience that patiently endured the heat and apparently enjoyed to the fullest the merry three-act farce served, "Mrs. Black Is Back" has nothing to do with the case, but the affair Is funny and has more of genuine substance than the May Irwin pieces used to present. Still, Its texture Is sufficiently tenuous to per mit the Insertion here and there of sons and the like without doing any especial violence to the thread of the story. In fact, the only violence done to the story la by the author, who leads up to some very Interesting complications, and then lets the whole fabric down In the flattest way Imaginable. Miss Irwin Is Just as big and Just as funny as ever, but she doesn't sing the coon songs with the boisterous abandon of some years ago. She still has 'the way of Coming down to the footlights and taking the audience Into her confidence with lit tle qulef asides, and In many other ways proves herself an unfailing delight. Her humor Is both spontaneous and unctuous, and Is altogether enjoyable. If anything more sillily absurd than her purported confession to her husband has been de vised for the stage. It has not been pre sented In Omaha. - She still hands out her cynically satirical remarks about marriage, and makes a terrific hit with everybody when she tells her husband, who has thought of going In for athletic not to take up the shot put or the hammer throw, because "there are enough hammer throw ers In the world now." The company in support la fairly well selected, but shows the unfamlllarity with lines and situations that might be ex pected on the second performance of the season.. Mr. Carter, Miss Burby and Mr. Foley are probably the strongest In the company, at least their work Is done bet ter than that of the rfthers. The Boyd was filled to capacity by an audience that enjoyed every moment of the play. The engagement was for one night only.
