AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Council Meets Again, but Fails to Select
Temporary Chairman.
FOUR MORE BALLOTS WITHOUT CHOICE
District Court EnjOinS Clerk from IL.
suing Certificate to O'COnnOr and
from Having Tied Candi-
dates Draw straws.

Still the city council cannot come to an
agreement, either as to a temporary or a
permanent chairman. There was another
meeting last night with all members pres
emit and a good house.
As soon as the members were seated the
usual gang OF boosters" from the outside,
headed by some former members Of the
council, swarmed around the tables and
talked conhdentially to the councilmen.
Then the first ballot was taken. II stood
three for Adkins and three for Queenan. In
all four ballots we're taken and the result
was the same in each. At the conclusion OF
the fourth ballot Myles Welsh suggested
that the council take a recess until next
Monday night and this was agreed to.
The session was not without incident,
however, as Deputy Sheriff Roach served a
couple Of writs on City Clerk Shrlgley issued
by Judge KsysOr at the ~instigation of John
McIntire. The first order served was one
restraining the clerk from issuing a GER
tihcate of election to Patrick j. o'Connor
of the Fourth ward. This. It was reported,
the clerk had intimated he might do in or
dear to break the deadlock and bring the
proposed contest to a focus. The other
order was one restraining the clerk from
serving notice upon McIntire and O'Connor
to appear at the city ohlces this afternoon
and draw straws for the position. Each OF
the contestants received the ssme number
Of votes and as the old council adjourned
sine die without settling the dispute the
question Of which one is entitled to the seat
seems to be in doubt.
New Ordinance Needed.
The city biilposter ordinance which
Former Mayor Kelly pushed through the
recent council. is considered defective by
those In authority and it was asserted yes
terday that another ordinance would have
to be passed by the present council with a
number OF changes before It would stand
the test Of the courts. When Kelly went
out Of once his billposter went with him
and so now there is no city billposter. Sew
sral persons have made application to
Mayor Koutsky for the place, but no one
will be appointed until the ordinance is SC
amended that il will be be declared legal
by the courts. It is possible that with
others matters to attend TO the council may
take its time before getting around to thie
ordinance, as there never seemed to be any
great need OF a city billposter until Kelly
discovered that ne wanted to make a place
for a man out Of a Job.
