AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City
Council Unable to Meet for
Lack of Quorum.
SOW ON OVER APP0INTEE8
T. C. Caldwell Aka Conneil to Ex
amine Method Employed by Judge
Callanan In Keeplnir nook and
Handling HI Office.
Although George rarks, president of
the National Construction company, wan
present waiting for the council to ac
cept his bid- for the repaying ot Q street,
near the packing houses, the council
failed to act because ot a lack ot a
quorum. The bid of the National Con
struction company was the Only one
filed.
Some of the cityt officials gave It as
their private opinion that all the council
wa not willing to support soma of
Mayor Xtoctor' proposed appointees. As
yet Fire and Police Commissioner John
Devlno is filling the office ot building ln
apector, no appointment having been
made to replace him. The ordinance
drafted to make the building inspector
one of the fat offices of the city was
softly put to sleep In the judiciary com
mittee, notwithstanding the stirring rec
ommendation by Mayor Hoctor.
The council will meet next Monday
evening at 6 p. m. A numebr of the
councllmen and members of the city de
partment have expressed themselves In
favor of early sessions during the sum
Bier. At present the council rarely gets
Under way until long after the hour set,
because a great deal of the committee
work Is deferred from the afternoon un
til night
Cnldrrell After Callanan,
P. C. Caldwell, ot Thirty-sixth and Q
ftreetshaa asked the city council to
nppolmr a special committee to examlno
Into the methods ot bookkeeping used by
Police Judge James Callanan in the
Booth Omaha police court. In his com
munication to the council, Caldwell says
that the city clerk's records show that
Callanan hss not filed an Itemised re
port since February 11, 1910, He says
this Js required by law. The communica
tion further states that Callanan has no
right to remit fines and that he Is liable
on his official bond for any such action.
City Clerk Wheeler says that the city
charter requires that a bond be filed, but
that he has not discovered one' so far.
Mayor Hoctor elated that It was pos
Ible that Callanan had filed a bond with
the county authorities. The office of po
llce judge in South Omaha has been un
tier scrutiny for some time, It is said.

"I'm not going to stand around and
snivel every time a suit of clothe goes

the aggressive clothier at 16th and Har

"Clothier may wince; clothier may
say that I've played trairsr to custom,
because I've cut prices before July 4th;
but the die Is cast and the deed Is done;
the garments are your for the trifling
money I ask and I don't care a snap of
my fingers what the opposition think
of It."
D rooks, during the past spring, suffer
ed the slowest trade he had ever experi
enced ahd other clothiers suffered the

esty forbade the rest of the crowd to
come right out and state plainly that
they were suffering. A It Is, they will
come out In appealing tone next month;
they'll start the dagger thrusts at prices
directly after the last fire cracker ho
spluttered on Fourth of July. Of courso
you cannot blame thorn for trying to an
nex a profit on each sale made before
that time, but then, that doesn't -help
the ultimate consumer who want to own
clothe at a real "clearance" price.

boys, the water's fine; choose any suit

Also, a word In passing about Brooks'
stock. Brooks carries too fine a stock
If anything. Upon starting business In
the City National Bank building at the
corner of 16th and Harny Sts., he went
tho limit on grades and styles. He
chose the snappiest things ho could pur
chase for his good, round, hard earned
American dollars. But no matter how
good the style or cloth the garments
wouldn't sell because of a dreary, rainy,
chilly Spring. So that's the reason Brooks
sailed In to cut with a vengeance. His
price cleaver has never been Idle since
the day he announced his selling and It
won't be allowed, any lost motion until
the stock ot clothes here ha sold down
to a little undersized heap.
Once more, gentlemen, for a reminder
of the reductions now In force: '
