Former L'nlted States Attorney Baxter has prepared for publication the following statement In explanation of tbe reference to his removal from office in the president's secret service message; In his recent message to congress rela tive to the secret service, the president Is mistaken In Intimating that the removal of Irving K. Baxter as United 8tates at torney and T. L. Mathews as United States marshal was connected with the so-called land fraud prosecutions. As a matter of fact, their removal grew out of the prosecu tion oi Kicnaras ana (JomstocK lor tins Illegal fencing of government lands, which is a misdemeanor under the federal statutes, to which charge they pleaded guilty, and were sentenced by the courr each to pay a fine of 1:100 and cost and to be confined In the custody of the United States marshal for six hours. The presi dent was displeased wlln this sentence, deemed It Inadequate, and the removal of the United States attorney and the United States marshal followed. In defense of his position Judge Munger stated to the press under date of November 17, 1906: "I e.lone am responsible for the sentence passed upon Richards and Comstock. 1 was not guided by any advtce from attor neys and did not ask any. In common with other cases, I fixed the sentence at wnat 1 believed Just punishment for th offense committed and am answerable only to my own conscience.

Nearly $25,000 has been cut from the city department appropriations out of the gen eral fund as originally ' asked by tho de partments and scheduled to the council by the comptroller. This was duo to the work ! of Councilman Zimman, the only republican member, and Councilman Elsasser when the appropriations for the new year were made by the council in adojtirned session Wednesday morning. The council met In afternoon and confirmed all It did In the morning. At the beginning of 1903 the council set aside out of the general fund for the sev eral departments the sum of $163,300.60, the Judgment fund not being included. This year the department heads certified to the comptroller that they wanted about $30,000 more, or $187,153.40. This certification was given to the council Wednesday morning and many of the appropriations were made a asked, but others were cut a consid erable amount, Mr. Zimman and Mr. El sasser taking the Initiative. Two entire appropriations amounting to $14,000 were stricken out by motion of Mr. Zimman, these being $9,00) for the city Jail and $6,000 for cutting weeds. The police court asked for $3,600, but this was cut to $3,250; the custodian of the city hall asked for $16,W0 and was cut to $15,000; $1,500 was asked for the printing of annual reports, but this was cut to $500, and the plumbing inspector was allowed $1,854 in stead ot $3,064 a asked for. Some Increases Made. Increases wera made In some depart ments, $4,000 being added to the city trea surer's funds. Under the combining of the offices of the city and county treasurer th city pays the county 1 per cent for collecting taxes. A much larger collection is expected till year than last and there fore a larger appropriation was made. An Increase In the fund of the gas commis sioner waa made to buy more material. The health commissioners fund was raised $3,906 and the emergency hospital fund raised $1,000, the commissioner showing that more money Is needed to carry on the work of the department satisfactorily. Under th new apportionment, the twenty six departments of the city will have the use of $169,543.40, or $6,242.80 more than they had last year. Detail of Apportionment. This apportionment, compared with that made for 1908, Is as follows: Apportioning Apport'nm't for r.iKt. tor ni.

In the cutting down of the hill and th final opening to traffic ot the atreet, Twenty-fourth will be the longest thoroughfare In the city of Omaha. The street will then extend In practically a straight line from Florence to South Omaha. When the atreet Is opened the street car tracks will be ex tended and direct through service between the two clttea given, thereby cutting off about twenty minutes In the time to make the Journey from one terminal to the other. City Secures Title. Following litigation covering several months, the city finally secured title to the right-of-way of Twenty-fourth street a short time ago. but the simple acquiring ot the property did not make a street on ac count of the hill. This rises to the height of about thirty feet, thu rise beginning at Cuming street. After the property was ac quired property owners who were assessed heavily to pay for the land wanted the street opened and petitioned the demo cratic councllmen so persistently that they had to do something before the primaries and last night not only appointed the board of appraisers, but also passed the first two readings' of an ordinance appro priating money to pay one-half the dam ages assessed to owners of abutting prop erty where the street will be graded down. City Engineer Rosewater, In a communi cation sent 'to the council, estimates the amount of earth to be removed at 34,000 cubic yard. Measurements are now being taken and he will have the exact figures In a few days. The city engineer gives It a his opinion that the grading ought not to cost In excess of $8,500, and that he be lieves It could be done for $6,800. I.obeck Preseat Report.

A the affair waa evidently accidental and Friedman Is known te the police ami trusted by them no arrests hav been made In the case. Harry Agnew, a laborer 25 years of age living at 836 South Twenty-second street. was accidentally shot In both ankles and lower legs by a shotgun In the hands ot Friedman at the latter's second-hand store, 211 South Twelfth street, about 11:25 o'clock Wednesday morning. Agnew was standing near the stove In the rear of the store talking to a friend, C. Laurine, who lives at the Davenport lodging house. Frank Holub of 1242 South Twelfth street was being shown a single barreled, twelve gauge shotgun by the clerk, Bam Frunkln. Fearing that the gun might be loaded and would be discharged by one ot the men Agnew had been watching them and had warned them once, according to his own statement afterward when at the Omaha General hospital. Police Surgeons Newell and Barbour attended him there and removed some of the shot that had lodged In his ankles and the fleshy part of the leg below the knee. While Holub and the clerk were examin ing the gun and had evidently fitted a shell into the breech, I. Friedman entered the front door and immediately started to dem onstrate the weapon, ignorant of the fact that It was loaded. He pointed It toward the rear of his store, where Agnew and the other man were, and discharged the shell Into Agnew's legs. Fainting away from the shock and loss of blood, Agnew was taken to the hospital. where he revived soon. His legs were In bad shape. He had blen carrying accident Insurance In the Philadelphia Accident Insurance company, but says that the January pay ment, which is due before the middle of the month, ha not been paid because he has not been working for some time.

"Were you drunk?" asked City Prose cutor Daniel of Ole Alqulst 1n police court Wednesday morning. "Sure; I was as drunk as a beast, your honor." Thus and so did Alquist gain for him self a short Jail sentence to tide him over the present cold snap. His ready admission that he had been more than "Jolly drunk" waa rather surprising to Judge Crawford, who asked him If h was In th habit ot becoming so. "Well, I wss In Jail for Thanksgiving, too," Alquist confessed with a sly smile, and It did not take long f6r persons In the court room to conclude that Alquist thought Jail the best place to stay when the mercury was threatening to freeze, or when a hot dinner of chicken and super numeraries was served to Jail prisoners on a holiday. A fine of $1 and costs, which Alquist will work out by a two or three-day term In Jail, was given him and he went back to the "bull pen" smiling broadly.
