ARGUMENT FOR HOME RULE
City Attorney Makes it in Brief in Fire and
Police Board Case.
DRAWS ON HOWELL WATER WORKS BILL
shows from It's Provisions How state
Undertakes 20 Affairs of
the Municipality at the
City's Expense.

City Attorney Cornell has received
printed copies Of bis brief in the fire and
police board case, just filed with the
supreme court. This is my solar plexus
blow In the Board Of Fire and Police Com
missioners' controversy" he said. IL am
convinced that the court will rule in favor
OF the mayors appointees as against those
OF the governor. The brief has ITO pages
and 106 Of them are devoted to the doctrine
Of res adjudicata. The remaining four
pages are taken up with in
favor OF home rule"
In the home rule section Of the brief
formidable argument TO sustain the een-
%tention is found by the city attorney In the
Howell Gilbert water works bill. The brief
says:
1t is unnecessary at this time to present
an extended argument or to cite additional
authorities In support of the great prin-
ciple which was determined and INDICATED
2y the majority opinion in the Moores case.
Inc necessity Of a re-vindiCation of the
right OF the city to local self-government
mas recently been made manifest by the
passage of the so-called Howell water
DllI, which compels the city of Omaha,
regardless OF the wishes of it's citizens or
taxpayers, within thirty days after its pas
sage to proceed to acquire a water works
plant by construction or purchase, and to
Issue It's obligations of Indebtedness in the
form Of bonds to pay for such plant. This
growth Of the contention that the state,
through the Legislature, has a right to
control and conduct the affairs OF the
municipality. Upon the heels of the water
bill may follow other bills requiring the
purchase of the gas plant, the electric light
plant, the street railway system and all
other utilities OF a like nature. regardless
Of the wishes of the citizens of Omaha. who
Will be compelled to bear the burden of &C
curing the same.
Privilege of Footing Bills.
For the purpose Of purchasing and man
aging these concerns the governor may be
vested by an act of the legislature with
the power to appoint members of all boards
deemed necessary for such purpose. The
citizens and taxpayers will merely have the
privilege of footing the bills. Such is the
ultimate result of denying to the citizens of
Omaha the right of local self-government.
The city attorney concludes as follows:
When the points and issues presented,
ntigate and determined in the Moores and
Kennedy cases are considered In the light
Of the authorities cited, we submit that
there is ne escape from the conclusion that
said Judgments are res judicata and are
final, conclusive and binding on the parties
to this proceeding. As the result, It must
inevitably follow that the prayer of re-
lators' petition must be granted and that
respondents must be ousted from the Offices
which they now hold. and which were
forcibly obtained by them In utter disre-
gard Of the rights of REALTORS and in viola
ton of every principle of law. Justice and
fairness.

FEES OF DISTRICT CLERKS
Wonder Caused Why the

Action

There is much wonder why Tuttle's
bill providing that district clerks re-
port all their excess fees to the board
OF county commissioners is not acted
upon in the house. An office holder
this morning said: "The lawmakers
were hot and heavy to cut Secretary
Grimes off at the pockets, but Grimes
fees are little less than those of the
district clerks of this territory The
clerks make from $4,000 to $4,000 a

POPE'S CORONATION
ATTRACTED CROWDS

(By Associated Press

Rome, March 3.--From sunrise To-

showing most unusual animation and
interest in celebration of me twenty
fifth anniversary OF the coSonatiop Of
Pope Leo XIII. The day was marred

were terrific. When finally the doors
Of ST. Peters were opend an almost
indescribable struggle occurred, in
which those present forgot the rules
of his holiness and strove hard with
push Of elbows and feet to reach the
interior of the sacred edihce, while on
all sides were heard cries of fear and
lmprecations. Once inside the cathe-
dral women who wore lace gowns
found them to be in a much mutilated
condition and some of the women
were carried away in a fainting con-
dition.
The pope went through the ordeal
Of the ceremonies well and later said
to his physician;

Quoted. There is, however, a tradi-
tion that papal secretary of state
cannot become pope because of the
opposition his position of necessity
excites.
Cardinal Serafino Vannuteli and
his brother, Cardinal Vincenzo Van
nutelli, are both notable figures in the
sacred college. Cardinal Serafino
Vannuteli was born in Genazzano in
1884, and for a long period was the
papal nuncio at Vienna. Only re-
Gently he was appointed vice chan
cellor of the holy seat to succeed the
late Cardinal Parocchi, and it is sug
gested he was designated for the post
because he was becoming too power
full politically. He has been as near
ly as it is possible for cardinal to
be an openly avowed candidate for
the papacy.
Cardinal Satolli was made cardi-
nal while he was in America, being
consecrated by Cardinal Gibbons. He
served for many years as the papal
0elegate at Washington.
Cardinal Jerome Maria Gotti is a
native of Genoa and was born in 1894.
He is the pope's candidate for the
papacy, and Pope Leo has repeatedly
referred to him as my successor"
and has shown in many ways that
he would be pleased to have his place
filled by Cardinal Gotti, who has been
an earnest and jealous worker. The
best part of his career has been in
South America, where he is greatly
beloved.
Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, who is the
cardinal patriarch of Venice, is the
strongest candidate outside of Rome.

ordained to the secular priesthood in
1856 and was a priest at the pontifical
court during the temporal power of
Pope Plus TX. In 1858 he was ap-
pointed an officer in chancery in the
Roman tribunal and in 1870 was papal
nuncio at Lisbon. Three years later
Pope Plus created him cardinal. He
is dean of the college of cardinals,
camerlengO of the Holy Roman
Church, archchancellor of the Roman
university, prefect of the Congrega-
tion OF Ceremonies. and, in addition to
other honors. is protector of about
twenty leading Catholic societies

makes from the interior through the
wall.
At this opening they cry their mas
ters' names, and each squire of each
cardinal responds in turn, receiving
the basket of food. ..
The Sistine chapel has been fur
nished for the conclave. On both
sides thrones are set, having canopies
which can be let down by pulling on
cord The reason OF this will pres
emily be made plain.
On long table before the altar are
silver basins full of voting papers.
These are blank.
On the altar are two great chalices
of gold with patens. Here is also the

Foremost among the candidates for

Rampolla and Cardinal Serafno Van

who are well within the possibilities.
1t is also suggested that there is
chance that Cardinal Gibbons may
be chosen in the event the foreign
cardinals were sufficiently powerful
to stand out against those Of Rome,
and in case of division no French
or Spanish candidate could control
the German or English cardinals. or
vice versa, so that IL an opportunity

Serafino Vannutelli are both repre-
