The inventions or the poor White
Knight in Alice Through the Looking
Glass" are sane and sensible compared with
the oontrapuons that are being sprung
daily on City Electrician A6ichaelsen since
he was ordered by the city. council to In
vestigate smoke destroying devices.
The resolution provided for one good
machine to be selected by test upon the
smokestacks OF the city hail and installed
as mandatory example to the owners of
the other smokestacks around town. Since
then inventors have been trying to gain
favor with Mr. Michaelsen.
one man spent an hour or two OF the ex-
perts time that the city pays for Tuesday
In explaining a cumbersome and impossible
idea. BY applying little logic MIR. Mich
aelsen discovered that the real secret of
the Invention was to stop up the chimney so
completely nothing at all could escape. The
genius who submitted IL was a little hazy
as to just where the smoke would finally

mace WAS oonoerned-that was a matter
beneath his notice. AS he explained 1t, he
was producing a machine to keep smoke
from coming out, not a plan to make the

mayor out of the trouble into which he
went against Mr.. Burnam's express adj

Actually, although not legally. the city
attorneys will have to defend the mayor
for committing an act which Mr.. Burnam
himself declared was illegitlmate.
The law says that the city officials shall
be defended against all such actions by the
city attorney. The defense will be made on
the grounds that although the city at.
torney did advise against 1t and counsc
the executive that he was liable to bS

no right to interfere on behalf Of the

City Pays More
Hydrant Rentals
Judgment is Now Nearly Paid Up,
Leaving Some to Be Col
lected,

The Omaha Watei company received
SO. 1000 from the city comptroller Wednesday
IA another payment on the judgments for
Nk1rSfE rental, bringing the total amount
paldrthi year to s2lOsS4s9.
This aeaves only small proportion Of the
S250OO0 which was levied to pay the water
judgments, left to collect and is taken as
a proof OF the rapidity with which the
taxes for 1910 are being paid In.
when the payments are all made on the
s25o, 900 levy the rents win be coveIed up to
June So 1906. The company claims rental
for use since that time, but the iappraIse-
mehts OF the water works for purchase by
the city has left these claims In litigation.
The city voted no levy this year 10 pay
these back rentals, and win not do so unless
forced by the company which has man
damus suit now pending in an effort to
get the levy made.
John l.. Webster, attorney for the water
board, has papers on file asking for new
trials on the Judgments, for which the COM
pany Is trying TO get money set aside and
the litigation can make no more progress
until Judge Munger Of the federal court
