City Not Liable For the Negligent Acts of Officers The city Is not responsible for negli gent acts of officers or employes engaged In police duly. This Is the opinion of City Attorney John A. lllnc, given last night to the Bourd of Fire and 1'ollcie Commissioner. It was pecasioned by the claim against the city for SuO damages alleged to have boon sustained by Jacob Pas, commis sioner of Harpy county, when ho was struck by tho police emergency automo bllo In front of tho Huir.ntt'.on Cepot the night of Iecember S. The city attorney contends that em ployes and officers of the police depart ment aro engaged In Kovernmental duty and the city cannot legally be held re sponsible for thulr shortcomings. The pollcm board asked the city coun cil to re-advertise for bids for thirty tar paulins to be used by the new salvage corps of the Omaha tire department. On tha endorsement of the Kansas City fir department officials, tarpaulin fourteen fet fy fourteen, feet are the most serv iceable and the board made the same specifications for the new salvage corps. Fifteen thousand dollars of the police fund Is to be taken from Omaha building and loan companies and Invested In pav ing bonds. Uesotntlona to that effect passed by the I'oilce Relief and Protec tive association were concurred In by the police board. The bond pay 4 1-10 per cent, puyable efery six months, and are due ;'n 193.1. The commissioners appointed William II. Jaaobson, who ha been on probation at hose company No. 11, a member of tha fire department. Frank W. Baker was fined S3 for smoking cigarettes in company quarters ami F. W. Morrow was reprimanded for tardiness. The board adjourned to meet this aft ernoon when the protest of J. J. Ma haney.agaiiist he renewal of slho, license, pf Wick A Moore's saloon Will b heaed.

Yes," lie answered. "I have been on th fit department fourteen years aud this I my first offense." Then followed the most relentless grill ing and cross-examination a prosecutor ever gav himself, but despite It all the board dismissed hi charges. Captain IVmpsey of Hoes company No, 14 admitted to himself that he had been ill tho service of the Omaha fir depart ment twcnty-flv yiars. II explained to himself and the commissioners that It was because of the street car service that he was late for duty. lie also was treed without a reprimand.

Ornth Strike) Mrvsay MeGralb Admit That lie Mas Anajry. Paralysis of the heart caused the death of David Btepxay, assistant general man ager of a Sixteenth street five and ten cent store. Saturday evening, according to the verdict of the coroner's jury, which yesterday afternoon exonerated F.dward Francis McOratti, 610 Houth Thirty-fifth street, of all blame. McUrath became engaged In an argument with 8tepsay when tho former knocked a sack of candy from a counter, and In the scuffle that followed Stepsay dropped dead. Th verdict came after a few minutes' deliberation. McOrath. whom the police had held pending the jury's action, was released on recommendation of the jury. Miss Anna McOrath. sister of McOrath, fainted when Miss Ifellle Hlnlsh, a clerk In th store, gave a graphic description of the struggle between , Stepsay and McOrath." Dre. 8. McCleneghan, II. J. Chedeck and 1'hllllp Sher, who conducted the au topsy, testified that they had found upon the body no marks that would Indicate Btepaay died as tha result of the scuf fle.. They said they found his blood glands hud been defective and his ar teries In bad condition.

Just as MIxa'HInlHh finished her story, Anna Mk3rath gasped and fainted In her chair: eito was revive by the phy sicians who had testified previously, and th hearing Was resumed. McOrath told hla story In a straight forward manner and appeared regretful over his connection with the affair, . He admitted having knocked the candy from the counter and said his only reason for becoming angry at Btepsay waa that he thought he waa about to accuse titm of shoplifting and to attack him. He said he merely protected himself In shoving Klepsay back, hla attitude being purely defensive. He did not strike a blow or attempt to choke, ha said.

AFFAIRS ATJ50UTH OMAHA No Word of Aoceptanca of Bij Bond Issue Yet Received. OFFICERS ON ANXIOUS SEAT Tony Mitchell' House Born Down from Christina Tree on Which Candle are Left lighted. Notwithstanding tho renewal Issue of IllO.SSO bonds was recently awarded to flpoer & Co. 'of Chicago at a 4" rata of Interest there Is considerable un easiness among the city officials whether the Chicago company will sign tho con tract which was conditional upon tha ap proval of the bond company's attorneys. Sunday and part of Monday City Clerk Frank Oood and his deputj, John Fennell, worked like beavers In an attempt to get out the transcript of the bond his tory. The first draft was completed and forwarded to the Chicago firm Monday and word Is Impatiently expected whether the transcripts were approved or not. City officials who have talked with the Chicago people echo the warnings of disappointed bidders on the Issue and as sert that Speer 4c Co. will not now accept the bonds at 4li per cent. In event of Hpeer s failure to accept the banks of South Omaha will be called to the fore to make good their verbal as surance that they would at al! events stand to protect the credit of the city. The assurance of the local banks was without doubt honest and sincere, but legal lights and bankers begin to express doubt as to tha legality of nuch ac tion when taken by national banks. - In an effort to clear the atmosphere of doubt city, officials yesterday sent tele grams to different parts of the United States asking for Information on the point. Parallel cases have occurred In Michigan and other states and all seem to agree that tha action of the banks tandlu surety or ..taking, oyer .the new issuo would, burdly" pc according to pre cedent, When the matter was mentioned pri vately to members of the council yester day they Indicated their preparednss to readvertls in tlm to escape th stigma of defaulting on the city's credit. It was recalled that W. J. Long of Spltzer A Co., before his departure from the city had notified some of Abo member of the council that I1I3 company would stand ready to meet th peedq of the, city In case th sale of the bonds to th Kpeer company should fall' of con summation.

The fir fol lowed, and Mltcnell waa summoned from the feast to find his home In ruins. The loss amounted to about $1,000 and was covered by Insurance. Elsfelder Loses Teeth. If ycu should approach tha redoubtable presence of the doughty Captain Hank Klsfelder of tha tiouth Omaha police these days take unto yourself a warning and refrain from talking about teeth. For the captain Is losing his molars, and what Is more, h I not sur where they are lost. Sunday th captain lost a tooth. Mon day another disappeared. A few are left, so few Indeed thut tho captain resents any reflection as to the exact number that remain. Of course the captain has not made an official report of hi loss, but the chief of .detectives, it Is understood, ia keeping a sharp lookout for any party or parties having in their possession teeth which are nut their own.
