SUITS AGAINST
OFFICIALS MAY
BE FILED HERE
6hief Deputy County Attorney
Declares TheYe Is Liability
Where Records Were
Destroyed.
' Salts will be brought by Douglas
county against county officials in
whose offices records were destroy
ed in tne court house fire of Sep
tember 28, if the recommendations
of Chief Deputy County Attorney
Coffey submitted to the board of
county commissioners yesterday are
followed.
"There ia a liability against the
officials, provided they did not use
proper care in keeping the records
in places provided for them," says
Mr. Coffey's opinion, "The county
has sustained damage and is entiled
to sue. The bonds of the officials
are conditioned upon their properly
and faithfully performing their
duties, v
"The fact that the4fire was caused
by a mob does not change the lia
bility of the officials. ,
"It is a question for a jury to
decide whether each official in whose
office records were destroyed used
proper care in taking care of them."
In offices where the mob tore
open steel cabinets and cases and
took the records out and burned
them there would be no cause for
action against the officials or their
bondsmen. But in offices where rec
ords were left lying on the coun
ters "and tables and were not in
fireproof places provided for them,
the jury will be called on to decide
whether the county shall recover
from the officials and their bonds
men,' according to the opinion.
Mr. Coffey quotes the case of
Dodge county against Toncray.
In this case the county sued Ton
cray, an official, for $1,200 because
records had been left lying on a
counter of his office and were con
sumed when the Dodge county
court house was burned some years
ago. The supreme court upheld
this decision.

Alleged exorbitant charges at the
El Beudor apartment, Eighteenth
and Dodge streets, are the basis of
a 10,000 damage suit for alleged
slander, filed in district court yester
day by Arthur Vernon, stock and
bond salesman, aeainst the hi Beu
dor aoartments. Miss Ella Market
former manacer: the American Se
curity company, Home Builders and
fireproof Building company.
The last three companies are
named as the "owners and oper
ators" of the El Beudor. They all
have offices in the El Beudor build
ing.
Mr.' Vernon states that he occw
pied an apartment at $35 a week in
the El Beudor from April 1 to July
15. 1919. and that on the latter date
he paid up all the rent due, having
given notice previously that he
would vacate.
Manager Held Baggage.
He and his family moved to Des
Moines, leaving instructions with the
Omaha Transfer company to call at
the h.1 Beudor for his trunks. When
the transfer man called, Mr. Vernon
alleges, he was met by Miss Market,
the manager, who Mr. Vernon
charges, made this "false and mali
cious statement" in the presence of
witnesses:
"Mr. Vernon has not paid his bill
and still owes us money. We are
holding his trunks and you cannot)
take them. i
Mr. Vernon was compelled to
come back from Des Moines and
spend 10 days, he says, in securing
possession of his trunks. He is a
stock salesman for the Wilson Rub
ber company of Des Moines and
earns $150 a day, he says.
Miss Markel has not been man
ager of the El Beudor since August
1. 1919. When told yesterday that suit
for $10,000 had been filed against
her and the other defendants, she
declared that she held Mr. Vernon's
trunks because there was damage to
the apartment which he and his
family occupied.
Blamed His Children.
"What damage was done?" she
was asked.'
"Well. h had two children and
you can imagine what damage they
would uo to an apartment.
The E! Beudor has become no
torious ir the short time since it was
completed for the exorbitant rents
and charges which it makes upon
its tenants. G. A. Rohrbough, pres
ident of Home Builders, Inc., which
built the apartment, declared last
week to The Bee that Home Build
ers, Inc., does not own the apart
ment. He stated that the lure
nroof Buildine company owns it.
Later The Bee found the articles
cf incorporation of this company,
They wete signed by an employe of
the American Security company,
which is financial agent of Home
Builders Inc., and controlled by the
same men as Home Builders, Inc.
The Fireproof Building company
has no office to which tenants of
the El Beudor can make their com
olaints.
The resent suit will brjng to
light the officers of the Fireproof
Buildns company, attorneys for Mr,
Vernon say.
