Sixteenth Street Case Begun Yes.
terday In Circuit Court Be.
fore Judge Mcbride.
WILL Be CONCLUDED TODAY.
Steps Taken to Have New Trial
for JOsehp =. Smith, Now
Serving Ten Year
Sentence.

The Sixteenth street injunction cas-.
was begun yesterday before Judge Nc.
Bride In The circuit court. For ths
the plaintiffs. who seek to enjoin Con.
tractor Goodin from proceeding with
the improvement, because Of the allie
cation that the contract price was toe
high. appeared Frank =. Taylor, Judge
Bowlby and G. r. Thomson, while for
Contractor Goodin and the city OF As.
toria appeared q. c. Fulton and City
Attorney Smith. Mr.. Smith says the
city has no particular interest In the
case, although members of the council
feel that they should make an effort TO
defeat the suit now on.
Trial Of the case attracted much at
tention and the proceedings were ex-
tremely amusing at times. During the
afternoon Attorney Fulton left no stone
unturned to bring out proper defini-
tion Of the term kicker" as applied to
demonstrators against street improve
ments. who are also sometimes face
tiousIy referred to as "mossbacks. !"
The attorneys for the plaintiffs In the
action took the jlbes Of Attorney Fulton
in good part and altogether the case
was amusing to those who lined up on
both sides.
Councilman Robinson. member of
the council street committee. was very
anxious that he should swear to moth
Ing that he was not absolutely certain
about, and while he was giving his tes-
timony Mr.. Fulton created much mer-
riment by his questions. Mr.. Robinson
said he had signed the contract after
convincing himself that the price ask
ed for the work was not uureasonabIy
high. He admitted to Mr.. Fulton that
he considered some OF the remonstra-
tors as chronic hckers, and that he
was inclined to regard their complaint
rather lightly. He said there were
many complaints when street improve
nents were undertaken. but that he
guided himself by the wishes of the ma
jority of the tax payers.
Other witnesses examined during the
day were Councilman Burns, e. A.
Taylor, City Surveyor Tee. John H.
Smith. Auditor Anderson and r. A.
Marshall. The last-named witness
comes from Portland and was put on
the stand by Mr.. Fulton to show the
cost OF cement work such as will be
required on The Sixteenth street inn
The case was not con-
cluded yesterday, but went over until
this morning. The attorneys for the
plaintifr said they expected to finish
their case during the forenoon, and II

The meeting OF the Commercial club d.
rectory and executive committee yesterday

suited in the election OF A. c. Smith OF

The new executive committee organized
by electlng Robert s. Wilcox Of Browning,
King & Co. as chairman and John z. UT as

ways and means for increasing the power
and scope OF the club, with instructions to
report at the regular meeting to be held
Tuesday.
The club decided to take up the matter
Of a grain market for Omaha and
was referred to the transportation COM
mittee, to be appointed with the other
standing committees next week. In the
meantime the matter will be investigated
by the secretary, who will make inquiry as
to rates on grain to other places.
The restaurant question was referred to
a special committee consisting of H. J..
Penfold, John Steel and G.. T. Kountze, and
It is said by the new chairman that a
complete revolution will be worked in this
matter.
c. c. Belden resigned as a member of

posed electric line from Council Bluffs to

SECOND ACT ABOUT READY
Broatch Police hoard Preparing to
Appoint New Men to the y
Force.

When the Board Of Fire and Police Com
missiOners about two months ago sum-
marily removed sixteen men from the police
department, on the ground that the fund
was too low to maintain the department
at its established strength for the re-
mainder of the year, 1t was generally rec
ognized that the board was taking ad-
vantage of that excuse to remove men who
we're politically Objectionable to the mem
bers OF the board and make room for the
appointment at an early date Of others
who should meet the requirements OF
Messrs. Broatch, Wright, spratlen and
Thomas. Now It is well understood about
the city hall and in political circles gen.
orally that part second Of the program is
to be enacted at a very early date. The
members of the board are to hold "con-
ference" on Saturday afternoon OF this
week and the accepted belief is that the
new police appointees are to be selected
at that time. In fact, at the last meeting
Of the board there were present a number
OF candidates who were evidently in the
secret AMI expected to be appointed at that
time.

has gone into a new field for his subject,

band on their respective wives through
the pretense that they have Joined Ma
sonic lodges. which they make use OF to
cover their absence from home. Each is
ignorant Of the others deceits and 30 when
they met they invent unheard Of signs and
grips to convince everyone that each Is

result is a convulsive quality and continu-
Gus quantity OF mirth-proyOking fun.

BURT DELAYS SETTLEMENT
Tells Strikers He Cannot Resume Conference
for Several Weeks.
UNl0NlSTS WILL TIGHTEN UP SITUATION
Plan to Send All Men Not Required
Here for Strike Duty to other
Cities for WOrk-StrOnEer
Picket Line.
SIoNIsTs WILL TIGHTEN UP SITUATION

President Burt of the Union Pacific rail-
way has refused to grant the strikers
conference sooner than two or three weeks
at the least, and with probability that the
interim will continue longer than that.
Upon the arrival of John Mcneil, presi-
dent Of the International Brotherhood OF
Boiler Makers and Iron Shipbuilders, to
take charge of the strike Mr.. Burt was
asked when he could arrange for a continu-
ance Of the conference as planned. This
was done by telephone from Labor Temple,
the boiler makers headquarters. Mr.. Burt
responded over the wire that he couldn't
give the strikers a hearing before two or
three weeks anyway.
This information was given out by the
strikers press committee yesterday, and
as a consequence the men have decided to
make the fight hotter than ever. Said a
member OF the committee:
ut is plain to US now that this thing is
going to settle down into long drawn out
struggle. This new situation compels new
measures on our part, and we have already
decided upon some important changes.
To Lessen the DeadwOOd.
"Chief of these will be the setting of all
men to work save those needed to carry
on the strike. There has been too much
deadwood around here. 1t has been a
hindrance. Now, Just that number of
strikers needed for the actual work here,
picket duty and such matters, will be kept
here. They will all be put on full pay,
drawing the same money they did when at
work in the shops. Meanwhile the rest Of
the men will be found work in various
parts OF the country at their trades and
sent there so they can make a living till
the strike is over. There won't be an
idle man left.
Another important change will be an
Improvement in the picket service, Cap
tain Richelieu will be given the assistance
OF two lieutenants. one for day and the
other for night duty. We intend to see
that these pickets do their duty and we
will have other pickets TO see that they
do"
Mr. Mcneil returned Wednesday night
from the east. Il have little to say regarding
the strike till tomorrow" said he. "At that
time we will have a meeting of the boiler
makers and l shall make a report on the
present situation. / shall not remain
here for the conference with Mr. Burt, but
shall leave for trip over the line in
about three days. l shall wait in Omaha
merely till Tom Wilson gets in, so we can
have a general strikers conference and de-
eide on plans for the future. Wilson will
be in Saturday

COURT TERM NEAR THE END
District Court VIII Adjourn Friday or
Saturday of This
Week.

The October term of district court prob
ably will be adjourned Friday and certainly
Saturday Judge Baxter has nothing ahead
but some arraignments, unless the attor-
neys in the Halter-Police board mandamus
case should conclude to accept his offer to
go ahead with the trial Of the case. Judge
Read and Judge Slabaugh are through.
Judges Dickinson and Day have only small
matters. Judge Fawcett is still in Oregon
and Judge Estelle in Arkansas.
The February term, opening two weeks
from Monday, has plenty of litigation in
store, but none Of a very sensational ma
ture. On the civil docket are 1896 cases,
against 1,4SS at a similar period last year,
and ia criminal against 1858 last year.

Seldom, II ever, in any one year Of the
