HALL HAS SOME OF
DBMS OYER BARREL
Refusal to Pay Salaries Without
Specifio Appropriation Liable
to Cause Row.
RIDGELL AND HARMAN ARE HIT
(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. 4 8pclal.) Ths
ruling of 8tt Treasurer Hall that h
trill pay no warrant drawn by depart
ments where no specific appropriation
wai made by the legislature for the pay
ment of the sarse haa put these depart
ments considerably at sea.
The fire commission Is hit by the ruling
of the state treasurer, although others
will come in under the same ruling later.
Commissioner Rldgell of the fire commis
sion acknowledged this morning that a
deocratio treasurer had put him to tha
bad as far as the filthy lucer is con
cerned and that he will be compelled to
borrow money to pay the expenses of the
department and the pay of the clerks will
tVpend upon their ability to borrow from
some good-natured banker who will take
a chance on the next legislature being re
publics n and therefore willing to run the
Mute rlglit and make up sufficient appro
priations to cover the democratic de
ficiencies. Another democrat likely to be hit Is
Food and Dairy Commissioner Harman.
Harman Is lucky personally in that his
salary was provided for In an appro
priation, but the legislature forgot to ap
propriate the fees or sufficient thereof
to pay the Inspectors, clerks and ste
nographers and by September 1 these
may be out in the cold, cold world with
out salaries, and a political Job without a
salary attached does not look very good
to the average democrat.
Some prejudiced politician has Inti
mated that it is all a put-up Job on the
part of the Hitchcock crowd to bust up
Clarence Ilarman'i political machine, but
whether this Is so or not the old machine
appeari to be running pretty nicely Just
iiow and the resourcefulness of its en
lnc?r may carry it over the rapids In
safety and land It In calm water all right.
Pardon Board to Meet.
The ttate Pardon board will hold a
meeting tomorrow. There are notappllca
. tlons before the board for pardons, but
it is expected that the usual number of
applications for parole will be on file,
ting expenses amounted to $1,625,472 and

(From a Staff Orresporitlent)
LINCOLN. Aug. 4.-?4rclal.)-After
letting a contract yesterday for tha erec
tion of an auditorium for Oie Keamy

board members . were simply horrlfed
when Sitperintehdenr Pick of the same
normal aked them ta buy a flP ennui
tot the auditorium and on member had
the nerve to say ha thought the superin
tendent had his "nerve" with Mnv
After newspaper comments on their
work yesterday, the board this morning
began seeking to find some explanation
for the unwarranted raid on the taxpay
ers In letting the Kearney contract, and
Secretary Cavlnae attempted to explain
that tha Crley bid waa I less than
the very lowest . blda combined of the
other blders. However, this explanation
like many ether attempted by the board.
mUit"b'tskMi with' a great deal of al
lowance for if tha board saved $200 by
accepting the highest bid it haa been

more by accepting the Knutsen bid, whlr-to

These bids were all supposed to be on
tho general, contract for the erection of
the bulldlne, 'th advertisement for the
heating, plumbing , and wiring, being
called for separately. The crossiey dij
and the ltnutren bid were both couched
In tho same, language, except tbt the
Crossley bid added "labor id material,"
while , the Knuttert bid added "labor and
material.'''
One rnenibcr of the majority suggested
that as the CroesUw bid rend . "mater

ered the plumbing, meattng, id wiring
Contracts and the latter did not.
This Interpretation seemed to meet the
fahdes of.th board and Cavities sug
gested that Mr. Crossley ought, to be
given a chance to say what he meant
Mr. Crossley was not present. . but he
was sent for and when told of the situ
ation, acknowledged that he meant the
whole thing, although his bid did not so
state. This set the matter right with
the rmsrd and the two down or ninrf
contractors, who liad MJ on the plumb

wore left out In the cold.

SUNDAY'S TEMPLE
IS TO BE ERECTED
(Continued from I'age One.)
Irg 'farewell in flesh.' and In olden time
the week before Lent was given over, to
what wa rafled a carnival. However, It
would be scarcely safe to rest the, con
struction of a modern statute upon the
classics! dcrlvstlon of the particular
terms used therein.
No eed of Flsed Rales.
"Put I see no necessity of resorting l
any hard end fast rule of construction
such ss Is proposed. CarnKais and
street fslrs Involve the prestation of
spectacles, exhibitions and performances
calculated to attract large crowds ' of I
people for the purpose of enjoyment, en
tertslnments snd In the majority of cases
it is not only proper, but absolutely neces
sary that buildings of ome character be
provided, not only for the purpose of
housing exhibits snd furnishing places
where the performance may be pre
sented, but for the protection of the at
tending crowds from Inclement weather.
"Suppose It were proposed to hold a
horse show In the city of Omaha and no
structure was In existence suitable for
Its, presentation. The horse show would
beer no more resemblance to a carnival
than does a religious meeting or revival,
i and yet I think most people would agree
that It would not com . strictly within
that term."
Kxceplloa la Oralaaaee.
Judge Redlrk disposed of other points
raised by counsel for Mrs. Ilenry as
follows:
I. Permit grsntrd by city council is not
a modification of the fire ordinance, be
(ause the carnival or sitreet fair excep
tion occurs in the ordinance, Itself.
I. Although the building of part or the
tabernacle In the public streets may be
a public nuisance, Mr. Henry does hot
suffer such, special damages a would
entitle her to enjoin 1t In court.
3. No authority exists to stop use of
tabernacle because preaching and sing
ing will be noisy.
4. Clause of fire ordinance allowing
temporary frame structures for "car
nlvsls, street fairs and other similar pur
poses" Is valid.
The courtroom was crowded with spec
tators who listened to tho reading of the
opinion. At the close there were re
joicing and jubilation on the part of the
leaders of the Omaha Evangelical asso
ciation and their sympathisers. Many
had offered prayer for a favorable de
rision by Judge Redlck.
Work on the tabernacle haa continued
throughout the lawsuit. Ample time
exlMs In which to complete It beforj
Sunday's coming, It Is said.
