ance the fair will come out 111,000 or

mits at 'last accounts. The mornlns? train

South Omaha Salooa Llceaeea.
The situation in regard to the Omaha
Tire and Police board and the power of
the governor to remove the commissioners
remains,, unchanged, io complaint having
been filed with the governor. Governor
Mickey hue created renewed interest in the
South Omaha case by asking Attorney
General Brown . for an opinion as to the
power of the board of that town to re-
1. lnAM !... h .,1. MA,
been convicted of violating the law.
In his ' communication to the attorney
general. Governor Mickey auotes from
section1 132, 'article 11. chapter 13 of the
compiled stalutee. ' which gives the
South. Omaha board authority and makes
It the, duty of that body to revoke saloon
license . whenever the person holding It Is
fatm-HtyOf 'transgressing a statute -or :
Ordinance..'. Relative to the wording of this
paragraph, the' governor wishes to have It
defined so that .be may know If the power
of the board stops there. He toys In his
apmmunlcatlon:'- v.
fn many Instances, there- Is general
knowledge throughout a community that
a licensee la guilty of serious Infraction
of the laws regarding the sale of liquors,
and yet It Js impossible to secure a con
viction. I w!eh your written opinion r-s
to whether or not the members of the
South Omaha Fire and Police commission
would be personally liable for damages In
-a suit' brought against them by any
llpeneee in cose they revoked his permit
without s conviction In court having been
first Obtained. .
And, further. I desire to know of the
said Board of Fir in6 Police commis
sioners . has absolute knowledge concern
ing Infractions of the law on the part of
licensee, has the board, a rlrht to refuse
the granting of a license at the beginning
of-the nest fiscal year to said licensee
who has ben guilty of law violation, but
has not been convicted of It.
. While the opinion of the attorney gen
eral's office has not as yet been rendered,
there appears to be little question that the
South Omaha board possesses . the same
power to revoke licenses as It has to Issue
them.' Section 28 of the Slocum Uw pro
video that the corporate authorities of an
cities or villages Shall have power to "li
cense, regulate and prohibit" the sale of
liquor. fThta seema to establish clearly the
rtcht of the fire and polios commission to
cancel licenses for the Infringment of the
law or of excise rules.
A to the second 'paragraph of the gov
ernor's inquiry there appears to be no
question, whatever that the Board of Fire
and v Peltoa Commissioners may withhold
licenses whenever they see fit to do so. The
law confers arbitrary power upon It In this
regard and Us acts are held to be dis
cretionary, ' so that they are not subject
M court review. '
Physician's Aeenaer Mlsslasr.
Haiti B. Beagrea of Holdrege, the laun
dry airl who charged Dr. D. 8. Palmer
With criminal practices, has disappeared.
She first testified against the physician and
later filed an affidavit denying the truth of
her first statement.' The State Board of
Health, which had recommended that Dr.
Palmer's license be revoked, still has the
case under Co ai deration. An affidavit filed

she retracted her accusation. John Wyatt,
employed In a laundry, who originally

against tht physician, later filed an affi
davit denying his statement. He has now
filed aa affidavit saying that 'he was paid
