ONE TELEPHONE IS ENOUGH Prospect Hlllera Vote Dowa tho Beso latloa AaklasT that Indepeadeata Have Fraaehlae. The resolution favoring a vote by the peO' pie on the queatlon of an Independent tele phone franchise In Omaha waa turned down at the meeting of the Proapect Hill Im provement club last night. The vote wa taken after a lengthy debate between O. H Pratt of the Nebraska Telephone company one one aide, and A. B. Hunt. F. H. Wooda and T. H. Pollock on the other. Mr. Wood la president of the Lincoln Telephone com pany and Mr. Pollock la Interested In the Independent .system at Plattsmouth. When the debate waa over, the head of the member of the club wer all In a whirl, for almost every statement made by Mr. Pratt waa disputed by Mr. Woods and al moat everything said by Mr. Wooda wa denied by Mr. Pratt They were dlacuaslng the telephone situation at Lincoln. Mr. Wooda said the Nebraska Telephone com pany had different prlcea for the aame kind of aervlee and Mr. Pratt denied It. Wooda aald the Independent company had the most telephones in Lincoln, while Mr. Pratt claimed the most for the Bell people. One declared that President Bumham of the First National bank at Lincoln Was a stock holder In the Independent elbmpany and the other said It waa not t rue. Mr. Pratt aald the men who went from Council Bluffs to Investigate the Lincoln situation at the time Council Bluff wa thinking of grant ing a franchise were people Interested In the Independent project. Mr. Wooda aald It waa not so. So It went, denial after denial. until the club member decided, mentally at least, that if they wanted to know much about Lincoln they would be compelled to Investigate matters themselves. Of several things they were assured. Mr, Wooda made the admissions, replying to the questions of Mr. Pratt, that Lincoln people are paying more for telephone serv Ice than they were before the Independent system waa established, and that the business men had to have both telephones. He also made statements which Mr. Pratt Interpreted to the club as admlsslona that the stock' of the new company at Hastings waa watered and the bonda would have to pay for the plant. VINSONHALER READY TO QUIT Coaaty Jodae Willing to BesLga If Clerk Caa B Elected to Vacancy. Duncan M. Vlnaonhaler la anxious to re sign from the position of county judge for Douglas county. In which he is now filling his third term, providing he can name hla successor. He Is apparently equally anxious to have his chief clerk, Charles W. Leslie, chosen by the Board of County Commla- sloners to fill out the unexpired terra. This came out this morning when th member of th county board were ap proached by Judge Vlnaonhaler and asked to pledge themaelvea to vot for Leslie in the event of Vlnaonhaler' resignation, which wa said to be all ready to hand In. Th effort to secure enough vote to Insure Leslie' election haa not a yet been suc cessful, gome republican members of the board do not want to vote for him. and It Is said that Hofeldt will vote for Woodrough If given an opportunity. It is understood that a portion of tha bargain Vlnaonhaler ia seeking to drive Is that he have control of the patronage of ine omce. He wa all ready to resign sev eral months ago and announced his Inten tion of so doing. His inability to name his successor then caused a change in his plans, wnicn ne now thinks are mature enough to go into effect. , SALARIES MAY FALL SHY September Pay to Officials Uable to Be Delayed for While. Unless the council hurries up and trans. fers surplus money set aside for the abandoned department of city tax commis sioner to the departments that will be short because of increase of salaries by the legislature.

The mayor announced that he would veto the Item In the ap propriation ordinance unleaa the transfer ia sanctioned by the council before tha ordtnancea come up to him. His own de partment is 118 short In available funds for September and the" council considerably more.

The meeting, conalderlng the early uajrm n tne campaign, waa very well at tended, judge Eatelle and E. A. Benson delivered addreases. The burden of the ar. gumenta of each seemed to be that the time had arrived when no past, however glorious, nor any promiaea for the future, however lrldeacent. could take the place of actual, present merit. The merit of part lea was apt to be Judged by the merit of Its candidates. They especially urged the Irniurtance of the local campaign, and the local electiona.
