If a subpoena for the gov ernor la. issued by the defense it will be upon the theory that he can give valua-S ble testimony on the question of the good faith in which the action has been brought! and can explain why former Mayor P. J. Trainor, who at the time the action was commenced was , a fellow member' of the fire and police board, was m.t made a co-defendant. , Harry B. Kleharty of counsel for the defense ' admitted that he and Ed P Smith, hl co-counsel, have conferred re garding the advisability of subpoenaing the governor. ' ' " ' Despite the fact that several South Omaha men have teen Chief of Police John Briggs there during the last ftsw days, deputy sheriffs have been unable to reach him with 'a subpoena Issued by tlje state. Deputy Sheriff George Haupt man, who lives in South Omaha and Is veil acquainted there, has had a sub poena for Briggs for four days, but says he has been unable to get service on the chief. Cross-examination of Commissioner Pl vonka was continued by Assistant Attor ney General Ay res today. A lively tilt between Ayres and Kd P. Smith resulted when Ayres demanded to know what action was taken 1-st year In the matter of a complaint charging Anton Bazar, a saloon keeper, with law vitia tion. -'; v ;-The complainant didn't want the case pressed'' began Plvonka. " "I want an answer to a question. What action was taken by the board?' inter rupted Ayres. "He's answering jour question," snapped Smith. '" ' : ' "It doesn't matter about 'the complain ant," said Ayres. "The board is supposed to prosecute violators of the law for the benefit of the complainants. They represent-the state, not Individuals. It Is their duty to prosecute, even If complaints w not pressed by the complainants." "The attorney for the complainant with drew the complaint and then we dis missed it. They .wouldn't testify against him," said Pivonka. Ayres questioned Plvonka regarding the raids made by Sheriff McShane's depu ties on two South Omaha . saloons last (Saturday night, when two crowds of men were found drinking after 8 o'clock. , Plvonka said he didn't know the raids were made. ' All he knew was that the newspapers said they were made. ' Bull Moosers Are : Kindly Disposed to the Nebraska Ticket "I am still a . freshman, one might say. In handling the affairs of a newly organised poll tlcal party,"' said Nathan Merrlam, upon tils return yesterday from Chicago, where he Was a delegates to the bull moose convention and where he was made national committeeman from Ne braska for the new party. "I haven't got lined Up yet," he continued. "It Is a new deal for me." J " ' What would be done In regard to regis tering the bull moosers for the fall elec tion and future primaries he said he could not yet say, as he expected to con fer with his associates before he could announce anything concerning policies to be pursued in this state. ,s . "I expect to let the other progressives rjm the state business," he said. "We are kindly disposed toward the republican (pate ticket and we are anxious to fix Op the matter of the state ticket as har moniously as possible," Mr. Merrlam con tinued, r V' ' ; ' ' " .'. "' 'Asked what "harmoniously" meant In that case, he said it meant that the state republican ' ticket would ' likely be in rtorsed by .the progressives. "But would Colonel Roosevelt stand for such Indorsements," he was asked. "I think' Mr. Roosevelt would , stand tor anything along that line that we pro gressives 'may want in this 'state," he replied. There is no reason why we can not carry on this campaign without so much bitterness, and we ought to be able to come to some agreement In the state."

Conferees agreed that the presence of so large a number of Douglas county men before the Equalisation board would conserve no goo'd purpose. Best arid Shrlver can present all the arguments a larger delegation could present and the presence of Douglas county' in numberl might create in the minds of the Equal isation Board members a Suspicion that they were there to' play soma sort of trick. ...
