BRAHEY STARTS A FRECIDOT Present sheriff Tarns In Fees that McDenald mm Tower Failed to Report to the Conatr. Fees s mounting to or tvn a year have been earned by the sheriff s office In isst years and not reported to the county, according to information di'g vp by Comptroller Solomon and his staff. The fees wre those earned by Sheriffs Power snd McDonald for serving writs for coun ties outside of Kouglss, snd In the opinion of the county comptroller they should have been reported in the same manner a other f. es eerned by the sheriffs office. Since Sheriff Bralley took poefslon of the office lie has been reporting these fees, with the other esrnlngs of the oflce.ind thi-y have amounted to about $10 a month. In the checking up of the accounts oi me former sheriffs It was found that none of these fees has been Included In his reports. Comptroller Solomon srnt Accountants John Lewis ar.d John Helgren to Lincoln to check over the records of the district clerk's office there to find out the amount of the fees paid to the two former sheriffs In casca originating In that county. They will probably be sent to some of the other larger counties and an effort will be made to determine as far as possible how much of a revenue the former sheriffs enjoyed from thla source. As writs might be sent here from any county In the Vnlted States, It will be impossible to determine the anount exactly. The checking of the office Is being done preparatory to making a settlement with Sheriff Power of his old claim for the sal aries of his deputies during the '"South Omaha strike.

Judge Baldwin says that he does not for ne Instant believe in grave desecration. but a grave Is not a grave unless me ground wherein a body has been Interred has first been dedicated or consecrated as a cemetery.
