CITY OFFICIALS ARE CITED
They Have DisObeyed order
of Court.

Judge Read Of the district bench has
cited the mayor and the eouncilmen OF
Omaha to appear before him January Z. at
10 O'Clock, and show cause why they should
not be legally spanked for disobedienee Of
an order and contempt Of the court that
made II.
The citation is made upon the informa-
ton Of Attorney J. w. West. as counsel
for Alphonse Metzger. The latter Is shown
to be the holder OF a judgment against the
city, originally given Fannie Croft and
now amounting to $s74.ss. He further re-
lates that last October Judge Read caused
to be issued a writ Of mandamus to COM
pei the council and mayor to direct the
city comptroller to draw a warrant upon
the general fund for this amount, but that
the writ has been held in contempt.

to who she really is and when she ceased
to be somebody else? II she will, the in
cident OF the unfinished washing will be
forgiven. II she won't, there's no telling
what Judge Read will order done to her.
for Henry Murphy OF South Omaha stands
before the bar sternly demanding justice
and $3.50.
About three years ago the domestic gave
an infant son into the keeping Of the Child
Saving institute. Shortly afterward she
agreed that he should be given permanently
to John Sails and wife OF South Omaha, at
the same time signing q statement that the
child's name was Kenneth Cooper, that her
name was Maud Cooper and that her hus-
band, the ohild's father, was q John
Cooper. who died August 3. 1901.
A few weeks ago she announced that she
wanted her black baby back and Judge Mac
Farland undertook the case because, be
said. the woman had been q faithful en-
ploye at his house and was deserving. She
produced in court an ~ebony-tinted gentle
man who indinerently asserted that be was
the father Of the boy and her husband. At
torney Murphy, for the Sails foster parents,
asked the man how II happened that his
wife had sworn he was dead, and he an
swered that he had been in st. Joe. Judge
Read, considering this a very sufficient
ground for such assertion, concluded that
there was nothing wrong in the case and
gave the child to the Coopers because the

seeks Some Information.
Attorney Murphy wasn't satisfied and said
so. He began to pry around for proof OF
perjury, and wrote down to Hannibal,
Marion county, Mo, where the Coopers said
they were married, to learn II there ever
had been a license granted them. He was
informed there had not. This made Judge
mcfarland uneasy and he did some corre-
spending himself with the same purpose.
He told the faithful Maud what was doing
and had her on the carpet to make ~explana-
lions last Monday. A London fog could not
be more dense or confusing.
When he got home from the ONCE that
evening Maud had taken to the tall and
uncut verdure with her baby, Leaving the
family washing Just as IL was when the
Judge first mentioned the legal doings. The
corpulent attorney Immediately searched
the adjacent bushes and the house Of col

with whom she had acquaintance without
reward, and yesterday he had to come
into court to make answer to Murphy's mo-
tion for a new trial with his hands In the
air. M%urphy's proofs from Missouri were
not, technically. correctly verified. however,

only a few days later a new source o. addi-
tionsl expense appeared In an area Of soft
earth which would necessitate deeper eX-
c~avstion than was ~ first planned. The
cost Of this extra work was estimated az
$500 or s400. Now II has been discovered
that the gas main runs along the line Sc
lected for the south wall Of the building and
must therefore be removed. This will en-
tail a still further expense Of several hun
dred dollars.

ORGANIZED LABOR AFFAIRS
Annual Election of Central Labor
Union IL Set for jan
uary 10.

The annual election OF ofncers OF the Cen.
trail Labor union will occur January 16. and
for the first time in three years the rival
factions have not opened a campaign at
least a month before the election. The fail
ure to make an open light for candidates is
said to be because the factions are 30 near
equally balanced that neither can afford to
make an aggressive fight. While the So
cialist members are In an apparent minority
when It comes to an open vote they often
win out when the vote is secret and tho
election Of officers is by secret ballot. The
socialists are better organized than their
opponents, and 1t would not be surprising
TO see them elect a number OF the officers.
II is reported to the members OF the
Street Railway Mems union that the COM
pany is not to allow the members OF the
bridge line to join the organization without
. contest. Members OF the union this morn
ing said that two motormen and two con-
ductors had been of duty for two days and
that later II was found they were on the
bridge line talking to the men employed
there trying to secure promises from them
that they will not Join the Omaha union.
While the bridge line was under separate
organization the Omaha union was not &C
tive in its efforts to secure membership
from the employees OF that line. but since
the merger these employees are desired.
