TOO MANY GENERALS FOR THE WORK No Necessity ' for Major Geaerals Divisions Departments Report Directly to War Depart--meat t Waeaingtoa. ' ASMffcafpN", Au. 4.-Ths report ot Major General Oreely, commanding the De partment - of 'tne PacMo, criticising the present arrangements of divisions and de partments of the army, haa caused con siderable dlscusilon t in the War depart ment and officer are wondering what will be the effect when congress takes up the subject again' It is aald that the report . emphasise the point, several times made, that with six major generals of the line and fifteen brigadier generals of the lino, great difficulty, Is found In finding plaeos for them commensurate with their rank' One reaaon for' creating four divisions was to give place for major generals, the de partments being commanded by brigadiers. General Qreely makes It appear that there 4s no necessity for such division commands, as the departments now -report direct to the War department and the division com manders do not 'know what has Veen done. It Is also said that extra staff officers are required who might well be dispensed wltb should the old department method be re sumed. Under present conditions there are two major generals stationed at Governor's ' island. ' There is a major general and a brigadier general at Ban Francisco. Nat- urally it seems the duties are not such as , to require two general officers at one place, with a full set of officers, such as are at tached to every division and every depart ment. There Is an intimation that tiJej 6 reel y report may suggest some changes in the present army organisation. V t W. C. T. I. Convention. '. HARVARD, Neb., Aug.

Neb., Aug. 24.-(Speclal.)- A large transaction was closed yesterday by the County Board of Supervisors, which saves the taxpayers of this county $3,000. Years ago 1118,000 In bonds were voted to aia tne -union racinc Railroad company to build through the county. These bonds ran for twenty years and drew 10 per cent interest. At their maturity $30,000 In cash was paid and $89,000 in new bonds Issued, running twenty years at S per cent Interest The county board, a few years ago, began to ralae a sinking fund to retire these bonds when they mature and In this fund had accumulated about $38,000. The City National bank worked up a deal whereby It could buy these bonds for the county at a price that would save the taxpayers $3,000 by 'taking them up now Instead of letting tnem run. This now leaves the bonded indebtedness of the county as fol low: Account of court house, $26,000, with already $19,000 on hand to pay them, and $59,000 Union Pacific Railroad company Donas. The state owns virtually all of these bonds. laatltate Well Attended. Stanton. Neb., Aug. . 24.-(8peclal Tele. gram.)

(From a Staff Correepondent.) LINCOLN. Aug. 14. Bpecla4.-The attor- ney general of the state having held that the governor has the right to remove the South Omaha police board for cause. Gov- nor Mickey has called a meeting of the board at the Millard hotel at 1 o'clock Sat urday afternoon. At that time Joseph Spells, who charged the board with allow ing the saloons of South Omaha to .un open on Sundays, will have an opportunity to make good on his accusation. The gov ernor has asked the lesal department whether he has a right to remove the Omaha board, but the opinion has not yet been rer.dercd. The opinion 'n the South Omaha matter Is as follows: We have your communication requesting an opinion from this department relative to your powers as governor under a com- mini men witn you ajrainat the members f the Hoard of Fire and Police Commis sioners of the city of South Omaha, charg ing snld board with failure to enforce a law of this state requiring the closing of saloons on Sunday. eecuon t. ennntrr is, article z, complied tatutcs, 1906. provides an follows: "The a-overnor may remove any of wild commissioners for misconduct in office, or should they or any of them become disqual ified to act as such commissioners. Any citizen of the elty may file With the gov ernor written rharaes against any commis sioner he may deem guilty of misconduct in oince. and the governor .shall, within a reasonable time, investigate the same upor testimony to be produced before him, anj shall make such finding of the truth or falsity of such chance as In his judgment such testimony warrants, and In case such charges are adjudged by him to be sus tained by the evidence he shall at once remove the commissioner so found guilty and appoint another qualified to fill the vacancy thus caused. The governor when sitting to Investigate charges preferred against a commissioner shall have full power and authority to compel the attend ance of witnesses and the production of books and papers, and to administer oaths, and he may hold such meeting at the most convenient place In th state for the pur pose of such Investigation." Under the statutes of Nebraska the cmer of police and police officers of the city of south Omaha have the power and It is made their duty to arrest all offenders against the laws of the state or the city (section 64. article 2.. chapter 11. It Is an offense against the tatutes of this state to sell IntoTlrr.tlng llntin; on Sunday (section 18, chapter B0).
