ARE NIGHTMARES
New System Haunts Conductors Even
While They Try to Sleep.
Law Won FULLY UNDERSTOOD
81 Places where SECOND Transfer
Way BE Observation-Disclosures
MIST Ask Passengers,
Not vice versa.


Transfer
Omaha street car conductors are repeat
ing that query In their sleep. such was the
mental effect, OF the first day OF the new
transfer system. When the wife OF a sher-
man avenue conductor asked her husband
Thursday morning what he would have for
breakfast he replied. ''rransfers."
The new system OF transfers introduced
Wednesday by the Omaha q Council Bluffs
street Railway company IL a topic of gen.
eral interest, particularly In view OF the
misleading framed signs posted in the cars
Wednesday morning.
General Manager Smith OF the street rail-
way company explained that the signs
were made out In a hurry and were not in
accordance with the instructions given the
conductors The first clause OF the sign is
request that passengers ask for transfers
at TING fares are paid, whereas the city
ordinance specifically provides that con-
rIne collected whether or not passengers
want transfer.
CSaductor's Misccnception.
II was a peculiar coincidence that on
wednesday afternoon Assistant city Attor-
ney Dunn. who drew up the fer ordi-
nance, was refused transfer Nv conduc-
tor who had failed to offer Mr.. Dunn a
transfer when collecting the fare and who
referred the attorney TO. the. sign ~ aai-
thority for refusing the transfer
EFT was that conductors idea that I
should have. asked him for transfer ~
the time my fare was paid or forfeit my
rights 10 transfer that trip. and he even
directed me to the sign in the car" said
Mr., Dunn ct believe that conductor was
,ne OF the exceptions to the rule. and no
doubt things will become adjusted in time
But think II well that passengers know
their rights IN the premises. Another
thing, the second, clause OF the signs In
uuestion says that transfers will only be
issued on receipt OF cash fare. while there
are Ave points Of transfer in the city where
the street car company must give second
transfers"
Five Points in Question.
The i<e points referred to are: Parl
avenue and Iseavenworth streets to o.
from West Leavenworth line; Park avenue
aud Pacific. west or south; Sixteenth and
Locust. Twenty-fourth and Ames anS
rhirty-third and Cunning streets.
One OF the disaereeabie features abou
the new system Is that people living alon.
the South Thirteenth line are required I,
ride to Sixteenth and Webster streets II
order to get to the Hanscom park distric
without paying a double fare.
Returning from the, vinton street bal
park Wednesday afternoon II was note,
that several conductors could not &c
through motor car and trailer under tn
new system before reaching Sixteenth an,
l.eavenworth streets.

SUITS ON COUNTY JUDGES
Action Begun for Recovery Of Eleven
Thousand Dollars Marriage Fees
LIeHT cAsIs BROUGHT BY sLABAUeA
G. W. shields, Irvina y. Baxter
and Duacan VI. vinsenhaler Are
Former Omcials Made De-
PENDANTS In Litigation.

Suits against former County Judges @.
w. Shields, Irving F. Baxter and Duncan
M. Ninsonhaler for over $1,000 collected
for performing marriage ceremonies and
not turned In TO the county treasury will
be started In district court Friday fore
noon by County Attorney slabaugh. The
suits will be eight in number. one for each
term served by the defendants.
The amounts claimed by the county from
the former officials are as follows: q. W.
Shields. 1850; Irving +. Baxter. 5000, and
Duncan NJ. vinsonhaler sS.457, making a
total of sli,s2s. These amounts are secured
by charging up against each of the former
judges 50 fee for each marriage ceremony
performed. Owing to the fact the bonds
men for each term OF ONCE are different. It
will be necessary to file a separate suit
for each term.
1t is the contention of the county authori-
ties that the marriage ceremonies are per-
formed by virtue of the justice Of the
peace powers conferred on the county
judges by law. A 81 fee is regularly pro-
vided for I'm the section giving justices of
the peace the right to perform marriage
ceremonies. Another section of the law
makes It obligatory upon the county judge
TO turn In TO the county all fees collected
by him for performing official acts.
Shotwelps View of Case.
Deputy County Attorney shotwell, who
has had the case in charge, contends that
IL the marriage fee is authorized BY law II
belongs to the county and il it is not
legal fee the county judges have been
guilty of malfeasance In Office in taking
II. He bases this conclusion on a section
OF the constitution which prohibits
ficials taking fees not authorized by la
The county judges involved will fight
cases and they will be carried to the
preme court. The question as to the ia.
position of these fees has been discussed
at different times, but Il has never been
settled. County Attorney Slabaughs suit
Will be precedent for other counties
The suits are brought under orders is
sued by the county commissioners last
summer. Other suits against county of
fcials to recover fees earned by the Of
hcials but never collected, will be brought
by the county attorney as soon as the
county auditors ONCE has finished check
ing up the records to determine the
amounts due from the different officials.

The announcement made in The Trib-
une Monday morning of the pos
sible purchase by E. II. Hartman, the
railroad magnate, Of the entire street
railway system belonging TO the Utah
Light and Railway company came
somewhat as a surprise to many peo-
pie. while by others it was looked upon
as a likely purchase by the Hartman
people. This is a natural place for
many of the interests OF the great
Hartman traas-continental system to
be centered, and many of them are To-
Gated mere; every indication points TO
the conclusion that here VIII ultimate

road situation, that at this point the
great transportation systems which
span the continent VIII yet concentrate.
Hence, with this future development
in view, the requirement of the street
railroad system, with all It's franchises
and other concessions, would be an In
valuable asset
