The members of the health and police
committee of the council are In GUAM

control Of the police department and wnen
things go wrong the public Is apt TO lay
the blame against the committee Mucn
as the committee would like to see a re-
organization of the department from the
chief down, its members are poweriess 10
do anything. The civil service commas
sion has practically assumed the major
portion of the functions of government
and nothing can be done without the con-
sent of the commission. Thus the nahus
of the other members of the administra-
ton are tied.
1t was rumored today that Teats and
Chief Hoge had patched Up their diner
ences, and that Hoge would be allowed
TO remain at the head OF the department.
Tht present condition of affairs may be
expected TO continue indefinitely. al
though at the city hall IL Is conceded that
the police department as now constituted
is utterly unable TO cope with the band OF
firebugs and burglars that infest the
town.

U. p. SALE FAR REMOVED.
Foreclosure of Government Lien
VIII BE Delayed.

OMAHA, May 7-General Solicitor
Kelly. of the Union Pacific, will return
in the next few days from New York.
where he has been engaged for a month
past In legal matters connected with the
foreclosure of the governments lien on
the Union Pacific railroad. Considerable
testimony has been taken in regard to
the interest involved before Judge Cor
nish, special master in chancery for the
Union Pacific receivership.
In regard to the time of the actual
foreclosure sale there have been ali kinds
Of conjectures. A gentleman who is in
position to judge said:
In my opinion the foreclosure of the
Union Pacific Will not take place this
year. | understand that Master In Chan
Gerry Cornish has been in New York TAX
ing testimony from holders of various
liens against the Union Pacific, other than
that OF the governments. 1t will be
some time before the master will give his
report on the cases to the court. Even
IL these reports We're accepted by all
parties concerned and at once confirmed
by the Federal courts, 1t would take a
month or more, but it Is pretty we'll I'M
derstood that there would be a protest
of the holders of the liens.
There are even those who are almost
willing to wager that the foreclosure sale
of the Union Pacific will never take place
at all. The receivership, they argue. may
be terminated. but the road will be oper-
ated by the owners in the way they think
most profitable

dence has also been introduced to show
that the blank certificates filled In and
signed by Notary Cooney and attached by
him to the Craven deeds were not In ex-
istence until sixteen months after the
pu-ported execution of the deeds. thirteen
months after Senator Fairs death.
These facts have been made out by a
number OF witnesses, four employees OF
the Croker Printing Company giving
positive evidence regarding the date when
the blanks were printed, and the defense
has failed to shake this testimony by cross
examination.
James d. Whiteside and Fred Daniels
were on the stand today, and their evil
dence was corroborative Of this fact
The certificate being false 1t must fol-
low that Senator Fair did not acknowl-
edge the deeds on September ., 1894. nor
on any other day, and therefore the deeds
must also be false as the certificates OF
acknowleds ment.
