KENNEDY TAKES MORE TIME

Ijawyore Potgte.
Judge Kennedy of the equity court lis
tened to affidavits Wednesday morning In
the Injunction case against members of the
local Typographical union. The hearing
was of a formal nature on the application
of the Typothetae for a temporary Injunc
tion to supplant the restraining order Issued
by Judge Beers, At the close of the hear
ing Judge Kennedy took the matter tinder
advisement, saying he . wished to look up
some authorities cited by the attorneys.
W. J. Connell, attorney for the union,
was absent, being engaged In a case In fed
eral court, and the defendants' cam was
presented by W. P. Thomas. Mr. Thomas
called the attention of the court to the fact
that one or two of tha defendants named
In the petition were in business for them
selves and In view of thia he asked that
the bond of tha plaintiffs be increased from
$300 to $2,000, which waa consented to by the
plaintiffs.
The matter of the use of green "stickers"
or labels by the defendants In branding
nonunion goods as such, which was prohib
ited In the restraining order, was not cov
ered In the affidavits presented by the
plaintiffs and, it la said, may not be In
cluded In the temporary Injunction should
on be Issued.
J. A. C. Kennedy, who represented the
employers, said he had not secured any
proof on this point. He read to the court
twenty-seven affidavits from nonunion
printers and employers In support of the
allegations of the petition. It was alleged
In one of the affidavits that at least four
nonunion workmen had been Assaulted and
that attempts had been made to Intimidate
others. Other allegations were to the effect
that the striking printers passed cards to
the strike breakers and accosted them on
the street. The defense msde no counter
showing.

NO DECISION ARRIVED AT UP TO DATE
Talk of S aerial Sewer Bead Kleettoa
Which Orrart Wltela a Week
Has Seaslded City Hall
Site tioeslu.
After considerable consideration ester
day af term on the Board of Kducatlon
put the question of a decision on the
site for the new school building over to
another time. A number expressed a
preference for the three lots offered st
Sixteenth and H streets. The board took .
pains to go over the grounds and take
note of the good features of each. It
la the object to get a aite as near the
center of the district ss possible. The
only drswback to the location at Six
teenth and H streets is that the ap
proaches have not been graded. The grad
ing of Sixteenth street has been ordered
as far north as I street, but this lacks
a block of reaching the proposed site.
It Is likely that provision ran be made
for extending this grade by interesting
the residents In thst quarter In the mat
ter. At all events the grade can be es
tablished by the city engineer at this
point, so the board will know how to
plan for the construction of a new build
ing. There are three kits offered here.
The board had another meeting last night
to settle with the contractors for the
additions to the Uncoln and Madison
schools.
Improvemeat Clak Meeting Postponed.
The regular meeting of the Highland
Park Improvement club, scheduled for
Thursday evening, will not
be held that
night on .account qf conflicting with the
charity ball, but will be postponed one
week, to Thursday evening, the 15th Inst.
Arrangements have been made to give
an Interesting program of addresses and
music on that occasion and light refresh
ments will be served. The music will
be furnished by the Elks' quartet of
Council Bluffs. , which made such a hit
at the high school auditorium last month.
The program of speakers win be an
nounced later.
Candidates Barred from Board.
It has been discovered that according to
the new election law the parties who file as
candidates for any office cannot legally act
as registrars for the revision of the polling
lists, neither can they act as clerks nor
Judges of the elections. In connection It
haa been discovered that not less than
seven of the present board of-registration
appointed last fall have filed as candidates
for the approaching election. Therefore
there will be seven vacancies to be filled
by tha mayor before the first day of regis
tration, which is next Saturday, February
10. Testerday the clerk sent out letters
notifying these parties of the effect the
matter of filing had on their right to serve
as members of the board of registration.
All other members of these boards have re
ceived due notice of the day of revision snd
will ba on hand.
Talk of Hood Election.
There has been absolutely no discussion
in a public wsy on the matter of the special
election which is now only one week dis
tant. It appears that the discussion has
been pretty well threshed out In the strug
gle to have the question csrrled over to the
regular- election. Except for the occasional
comment in the newspapers no one says
anything about the bonds.
Charity Ball Toalgkt.
Tonight will be the occasion of the Char
ity ball. Judging from the advance sale of
tickets thia will be one of the largest at
tended balls in the history of the charity
organisation. The final arrangements were
made nearly a month ago and the society
people and many who do not lay claim to
tha rank, but who make up the firm and
admirable following will ba there to enjoy
the pleasure and add to the funds of the
organisation.
UossId of City Hall.
With the order on the part of the city
council last Mondsy directing the city
clerk to advertise for propositions for the
site of the proposed city hall, the ques-
tlon arises
Whst has become of the
Plvonka Injunction case?" It is well
known thst notice of appeal was filed
after the last decision In the esse, but
since that time no one has given the
public any light on the matter. It was
evident that Spltser & Co. were not afraid
of another tleup when they bought the
city hall bends when they were last of
fered for sale. It Is bsrely possible that
they knew- that the appeal would be
dropped at that time. There has been a
statement to this effect within the past
two days. City Attorney Lambert declared
last night that he had i.eard that the
Injunction suit had been dropped, but that
It was- not lo be taken as the final v.-ord.
for there Is yet plenty of time for a
change of mind with regard to the case.
It ia aaid that the restricted area, within
which offera for the site will be con
sidered, leaves out the Plvonka property
entirely. They will not. therefore, be
able to enter the conij etltlon even if they
should enntinus the Injunction.

A boost was given the movement for s
proposed national lesslng law Wednesday,
when the executive committee of the Com-
menial club passed these resolutions favor
ing leasing or sale of the public domain to
I"'" "-"'"a
"" -nesicrn cattlemen
Resolved. That the Commercial club of
Omaha, at a meeting called to consider the
serious conditions confronting the cattle in
terests of tin- slate, indorses the principle
of disclosing of the unoi-cupied public lands
of northwestern Nebraska, popularly known
as the "sand hills." by lease or sale, for
cattle rxising and grailng purposes. Be ii
further
Resolved. Thst the need of srmie measure
cf this sort Is ura-ent and early action is
most esrnestlv urged upon our representa
tives In congress. Be It further
Resolved. That such a measure, properly
framed, will be In the Interest not alone of .
th- cattle Industry of this state, which Is '
now Imperilled, but will bring relief to a
large number of settlers In the region af-fecu-d.
in which confusion and uncertalnty
now prevail. Be It further
Resolved. That It Is the sense of this or
gnnixatlon that a bill making provision for
this emergency will not only greatly benefit
the Mate, but will yield considerable rev
enue to the government upon lands other
wise unoccupied and unmarketable.
State Representative Frank Ctirrle and
State Senator Reynolds aptesred before a
special Joint session of the public a (tali
committee and the executive committee.
They laid Wf ore the members the wos of
the western Nebraska cattlemen under the
present system and asked that the club
take some action showing Its sympathy
with 4,he, cattle raisers. John Steel. A. C.
Smith, E. Rosewater. O. M. Hitchcock.
William A. Paxton. Q. W. Holdrege and
C. F. MeGrew spoke on the subject, all of
them favoring leasing except Mr. Roso-
water, who thought it would be more prao- j
Ileal for the government to sell to the cat- ;
tlemen land w hich Is only fit for ararina. !
A motion to send a representative to
Washington to help the cattlemen was nol
received with fsvor. The committee was I
unanimous In Its sympathy with Mr. Cur-
rie and his associates, and resolutions wer?
When the meeting hud adjourned. P. K.
