OUSTER SUIT SPECTJLATIOII
Mnrh Talk Over Who Will Go oa
Fire and Police Board la Case So
preme Conrt Declares Present
Members Shall Be Ousted,
Friends of Mayor Tom Hoctor, City
Clerk Perry Wheeler and the council- .
men whose seats were contested by the
former officials in an appeal from a de- ;!
eislon of Judge Howard ennedy, ren- . ;
dcred almost a year ago, are expressing
much pleasure at the decision of the su
preme court In their favor. The court
of last resort holds that the preceding
officials lost their 'rights by abandoning
their offices I.tst April to the present
Incumbents. . .
Judge Kennedy last spring ordered the '
then city officials to hold an election
which resulted In tho defeat. of most of
them. The former officials ran In pri
mary elections and then yielded their
places to their successful opponents,
Hoctor and Perry Wheeler, both of
opposite party lines, In the opinion of
the taxpayers have been trying hard to
keep their ante-election promises. It
was suposed at first that Hoctor would
nt once throw down the bars and invite
a high time In South Omaha, but ;th
big mayor soon dispelled this Idea. As ."
for City Clerk Wheeler, his admtnlstra-
tlon of the clerk's office has been re
garded as an eye opener. From the start
he cut down the running expenses more
than $1,200 on help hire alone. He has'
put the bi-monthly pay days In favor of:;
the city employes .Into effect. He has'
scrutinised the bills presented for pay-";;
ment with such a careful eye that tlift",
old easy methods have died out Ot the
office.
"It is Just what I expected,' eomt
mented Mayor Hoctor npdn the fleclstoinj
"1 am.Rlad.lt Is over for the city's.
sake." . "j
"It was a just decision," said Oerie
Wheeluer, "and I thtnlt our citliens will?
endorse It. Now If we can only get s
decision so that Ithe pubUo Improve- r
monts may go forward I think things
will run smoothly." , . -M
Talk of New Commissioners.
With the close ot the ouster suit In"
sight there Is a general speculation as
to the probable successors of Commis
sioners Ryan and Plvonka should they
be ousted by order of the supreme court.
The names of William Queenan and J.
II. Kopletx are mentioned prominently,
although it la understood that Koplets
will not be likely to accept the appoint- .
ment even should it be tendered him. :
The appointments to a vacated office on '
the Fire and Police board is always '
made by the mayor and must be con"
firmed by the city council. If the un
ell refuses to confirm the nominees of
the mayor his honor will conduct the
affairs of the board alone, ,
In oase the commissioners are ousted
two things seem pretty certain at pres
ent. One Is that the mayor will not ap-
point anyone that is liable to make a
tleup against him and the other Is that
the fire and police departments will get
a shakeup. Mayor ' Hoctor was not
pleased by the fact that he has not a
man In either fire or police departments
at present.
(illlln Prints Own Report.
City Treasurer" John Gtllin will publish
his own version of what he calls his ,
annual report,' although the city coun- '
ell defined and set out in the financial
statement of the city all that concerns
the treasurer as custodian ot the city
funds. In a recent , utterance Olllln Is
made to take such a stand aa impugns '
the right of the council to say what
the law demands upon the question.
A member of the city couuc.il, speaking,
of the matter, said yesterday: ""AH the
law calls for from the treasurer is an
annual statement of . the funds of the
city and their condition. Ha is a bank
cashier. The directors of the bank never
permit In the financial statement of their
bank any talk about attacks made on
the cashier nor would they tolerate long
pages of stuff devoted to self laudation
on the part of the cashier himself. We
have asked the same of Treasurer Olllln
Just a simple statement of the city's
flnances-and we are not interested in '
nny of the treasurer's fights nor In any
comparison of his ability as a treasurer ,
with anyone else. Such talk seems
puorlle In an official and people will
certainly not condemn tho council be
cause It refused to allow the treasurer
to print a defense of hie administration
at the expense of the city. His privately
printed report Is not the official one of
the city, of course, and bonding com
panies take no stock, in anything- else.";
Mock Yards Theatened.
Only the promptness of the local fire
department invented a conflagration at ;' :
the Union Stock Yards yesterday at 1:30 - "
p. in. when the hay sheds at scale No, ET"
caught fire. A watchman discovered the
blaze and turned in the alarm.. Under
