Functus Officio
Nothing, Jim
Says Boards Alive
Mayor and Bprnam Both Assert Po-
lice Commission is Not
Dead.

According to Mayor Dahlman's opinion
and City Attorney Burnam's Interpretation
OF the law, the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners is not 'functus %officio," as
Attorney L. d. Holmes says 1t is.
There is no need in looking up the law;
I know that the board has as much power
now as 1t ever had, despite the governors
failure TO appoint or reappoint." said the
mayor with an emphatic Jerk of his head
In advising against botherlng the city at
torney with the matter. The city attorney
when asked about 1t agreed with the mayor.
THE general law holds in this instance
as in all cases. said Mr.. Burnam, ''and
that law states explicitly that all elective
or appointive officers shall hold over until
their successors shall have been elected or
appointed and been confirmed and
qualified.
'"rhete Is no doubt that the excise board
is vested with full power as II now stands
and the governors failure TO appoint. as
specified in the charter bill which he xp-
proved, makes no difference. Mr.. Holmes
is mistaken and the board is not 'functus
officio.'"

GREEK FORMS A COMPANY
TO BENFlT LATIN RACES
"The Latin Company" Incorporated
by v. j, Mandannis and Others
to Aid Descendants of heroes.

The newest Incorporation is also one OF
the most novel. n. j. Mandannis, J.. B.
Cokus and A. ID. Rlzzuto have incorporated
what is to be known as THE Latin COM
pany,' and it's general object is the amelio-
ration OF the Latin races in and about
Omaha.
It would seem since Mandannis Is a
Greek that the local Hellenes are to be con-
sidered a Latin race. which is a new thing
ethnologically speaking.
The company is to have a capital stock
of $3.50 and is 10 secure homes and en-
ployment for people Of the Latin races,
to aid nd encourage their education and
social relations, TO spread useful intelli-
gence and Information among such people
and in other ways promote their welfare"
Just what blood does flow in the veins
Of the modern Greek Is a matter OF some
dispute among ethnologists. but It would
not be well TO say so in the presence OF a
modern Greek. The most unpopular man
in the Hellenic dominion Is a German pro-
fessor, who said that the old blood had
been 80 diluted by later invaders that the
modern Greek could not be considered a
descendant OF the heroes Of Thermopylae,
Marathon and Salamis. The best ethnolo-
gists. however, incline to the view that
