Suit Filed at Lincoln to Block
I Use of State Funds for
Fort Crook Road

Tx8coIn. June 24. (Special.)
ifrietttonpartisan league filed suit to
day in the Lancaster county district
court to enjoin George W. Marsh,
sfate auditor, from drawing war
rants for the expenditure of $75,000
sfate funds for the paving of the
l'prt Crook road out of Omaha.
"The technicality on which this suit
i-bused is t hat the appropriation is
special legislation and is not covered
hy the title of the act.
C. A. Sorenson, attorney for the
ly.gttf. in a letter to the state
auditor, said:
f'Tfepusands of farmers have be
come bankrupt in the last year, and
afcorcTing to newspaper reports, 33
farmers have committed suicide be
cirxf bankruptcy, and yet the po
ljJiefrPmachinery in control of the
legislature spent money belonging
to the farmers like drunken sailors. '

appropriation for the Fort Crook
paving was pushed through the leg
islature by the Omaha delegation in
hiah h.inHpd manner bv threaten
ing to tie up all other appropriations
unless the Fort Crook measure was
passed.
City Council Will
Pass on All Shows
Grand . Island, Neb., June 24.
(Special.) Contention over the
granting of a permit to the Brundage
Carnival company to exhibit in this"
city next week under a contract giv
ing the Central Labor union a small
percentage of receipts ended with
the decision of the council to amend
the ordinance so that no show can
exhibit in this city, without the- con
sent of the mayor and a majority bf
members of the council. "'
Last year the American. Legion
undertook such a contract and was
dissatisfied with the result. There
also was much protest on the part of
the public against this form" of
amusement. A resolution wasT there
fore passed that carnivals should be
placed on the discard list, but owing
to a misunderstanding and the fact
that an ordinance cannot be repealed
by, a resolution, the present contract
was entered into before the question
came to the city body. The labor
union contract will therefore be per
mitted to stand and the carnival will
take place.
