'APRIL From Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 4-(8peclal-Clty At torney Breen and Elmer E. Thomas, at torney for the Omaha Civic Federation, aired the troubles of the board and the people of Omaha before the supreme court this afternoon In the moat approved fashion. The history came out In the cane wherein Thotnaa la trying to get tho board to pay for the transcript of testimony offered tn the protest cases which he filed against the granting of a number of saloon licenses, and Breen wants to save the board from this expense. In the lower court Thomas secured a mandamus to com pel the board to furnish the transcript at once and the board appealed. , The case was set for oral argument yes terday, but as neither lawyer was here the court allowed them to take it up to day. Breen argued that Thomaa did not want the transcript for the purpose of ap peal to the district court from the de rision of the board, but merely to hold as a club over the heads of saloon men to compel them to keep an agreement made with the Civic Federation regarding Sunday closing. Breen further said the board had no money with which to pay for the transcript, which would coat in the neighborhood of $5,0 . in answer to the latter argument, Thomas said the members drew pay at the rate of $S an hour for what work they did, and besides that they employed a clerk who was paid $1,200 a year. There was no reason, Thomas said, why this clerk should np be a stenographer and furnish the transcript for nothing and incidentally earn his salary. Then Mr. Thomas went arter the Board of Fire and Police Com missloners. Board of Irrigation Meeting:.
