MAY FORFEIT EARNEST MONEY
Several COunciImen Thinking of
Changing site for New
Engine House.

Several members of the city council are
considering the advisability Of forfeiting
the $1,000 paid a year ago to "bind the
bargain" In the purchase of a lot for a
FIRE engine house at Eleventh and Howard
streets, as several cheaper lots In the
same neighborhood have been offered within
the last few months. The price asked for
the Eleventh and Howard streets lot is
$4,000. The matter came up at the meet
ing of the city council in general COM
mittee Monday afternoon. The following
letter from w. B. Meikle, agent for the
Mechanics Savings bank Of Providence.
r. l.. was read:
In reference to the action of your hon-
orable body at tie last meeting, think
the Mechanics Savings ank will stand
on its contract with the city. and while 1t
real estate the city may buy, il certainly
will enforce the contract relating to pur-
chase of lot s. block 16S.
The consensus of opinion seemed to be
tina there was no written contract between
Mr.. Meikle and the city for the purchase
Of the lot. Since Mayor Moores nego-
tiated the purchase. 1t was decided to lay
the matter over until his return from the
west.
]. A. Tuveson, driver Of an oil wagon,
was voted $3.50 for oil spilled and wagon
broken as the result Of driving into a
hole at Twenty-seventh and Mason streets.
J. w. Kinkead asked permission to put
up box advertisements at street intersec-
tions, each box to bear OH one side the
names of the streets. He was told to
submit his scheme to the city engineer.
Councilman zimman introduced an or
dinance to increase the salary Of Police
Judge Berka from $1,000 a year to $4,000
a year. but was informed that, under the
city charter. the salary Of an oficer could
not be increased during the life Of hii
term. The general impression scenes to
be that this feature should be amended BY
the next legislature.

JUDGE DAVIS GIVES UP, TRIP
win not Go to Philippine Islands, as He
Had Intended. =.
RESIGNS UDGEsHIp He HAD ACCEPTED
Health such that Physicians Advise
Him Not to Undertake h
Life in a Tropical
Climate.

Judge Herbert ]. Davis, who was re-
Gently appointed a Judge Of the court Of
the first instance in the Philippines, has
resigned his position and will remain in
the United States. The resignation was
t~eiegraphed to the War department Sun
day night. Judge Davis action was the
result Of i'll health, his physicians having
advised him that such q move would be
a detriment to him.
For some time Judge Davis has been
troubled with a growth upon his tongue,
though until about two weeks ago he
thought nothing Of It and paid very little
attention to It. About a week ago he came
to Omaha from-Chicago and the growth
began to trouble him and physicians ad-
vised an operation. This was performed
last Saturday at the Clarkson hospital. DR..
Lavender having diagnosed the growth as a
cancer. The wound occasioned by the
operation had healed nicely and at present
he feels no Ill effect, though fearing n
return of the trouble physicians dlssuaded
Judge Davis from leaving the country.
Was Ready to Sail.
Judge Davis was to have sailed from San
Francisco on the transport Sherman July
16, and had made all his arrangements.
His library and baggage is already in San
Francisco and the officials have been noti-
fed to hold them. At present Judge Davis
is the guest Of NJ. L. Learned, 1875 North
Thirty-first avenue. To a reporter for
The Bee last night he expressed his great
disappointment at not being able to go to
the Philippines.
ut is a great disappointment to me-" he
said, that I had to resign. The work
would have been inspiring and a work that
n man could hauo nnt htu upha1o anul In
It was the establishing of United States
courts and no work is nobler or greater.
1t is one Of the greatest works that con-
fronts the people today. For three years
there has practically been no courts In
the Philippines, and as for criminal law
1t is something that will be entirely new
to that country.
Was Anxious TO Go.
'since receiving my appointment It has
been the one desire Of my life to begin
the work and / cannot say how dlsap-
pointed / am. The establishing of law
and courts in the islands will be a diflcult
task, but the country has a great man at
the head of 1t, in the person of Governor
Taft. / know Of no better man for the
position in the entire country. He is big
hearted, generous, brainy and a wonderful
work will be accomplished there in a short
time. l am glad there is such q man for
the place"
Judge Davis has not decided what he
will do in the future. For the present"
he said. 81 shall do nothing. absolutely
nothing, for the first time in twenty-five
years. My physicians have advised me to
rest and / shall rest, and as for the future
I have no plans" Judge Davis was for
meriy judge OF the district court Of this
county, but several years ago removed to
Chicago. where he has been engaged In
the practice of law.

Msmh;rS Of Parliament.

New York, Jan. 3.-Nothlng could he
more interesting or instructive as an indi-
cation OF the attitude OF the Nationalist
party at the next session OF parliament
than John Redmond's speech at Sligo, ca
bies the London representative OF the Trl-
bune
The Irish leader devoted some OF the
choicest flowers OF his rhetoric TO describe
those Liberals who, like Lord Rosebery,
are little tired OF the Irish alliance. The
Nationalists have received an intimation
that the alliance is TO be thrown over
with scarcely yelled contempt. and Red
mond advises Lord Rosebery to rally
around him ''all those rotten members OF
the Liberal party who called themselves
Liberal imperialists."
Apparently the meaning of all this Is
that the Irish party will again carry out
the policy adopted by Parnell i'm the days
when Gladstone was coerclng ireland, and
will fight for Home Rule without the
slightest regard for the feelings OF their
former English allies.
