FEEDING CONTRACT HELD UP
Boarding Of Prisoners is Mooted
Question to Be Decided.
NsHAEE WILL MAKE ATTACK
IN Meantime Temporary Agreement
Has Been Made with SIIas
Wright, Who Had Con-
tract Last Year.

Determined that the county shall re,
Eain on the safe side Of the prisoner
feeding controversy, with its severa
complications, the Board OF County
Commissioners yesterday refused Il
allow q sl.ooo prisoner feeding claim OF
Mrs. Z. s. King until the courts fully
have decided all the naoOted points
Neither Mrs. King nor Sheriff Felix ]
McSbane. who also will try TO collect
from the county for feeding prisoners
will receive cent from the county until
the dispute fully is settled.
When Mrs. Kings claim for sl.0O0 was
received by the board In committee OF
the whole, Chairman John C. Lynch de-
clared himself in favor OF allowing no
prisoner feeding claims while the pris.
oner feeding matter is in its present mud.
died state. The other commissioners
voted with him and the claim was held
up"
When the 1911 Board of County Com
missioners gave the feeding contract TO
Mrs, King, a relative of McShane, at ~
cents meal, when Ed Gardipe and Ira
Flanagan bid 81 cents. Flanagan and
Gardipe started an Injunction suit. Nc
Shane, seeing the possibility Of Mrs.
Kings contract being held invalid, In
tervened. He asserted the entire con-
tract feeding law was invalid and he
should feed the prisoners at ~ cents a
day. Judge Troup not only sustained the
law and held MeShane's contention, not
I'D hnf halA he With
Mrs. King invalid. McShane appealed to
the supreme court.
Bids 0Itned soon.
The present board readvertised for bids,
which will be ope led on March IS A
contract will be le at that time. Nc
Shane will attack ID
In the meantime tfts board made a tenn
porary ARRANGEMENT with Sllas Wright,
who had the feedin contract last year.
Wright was to feed the prisoners tenn
porarily. pending thu letting Of new
contract. Wright re.k,rted the sheriff,
through Deputy w. A. Foster, denied him
admittance to the jail. McShane has
been feeding the prisoners. but he re-
fuses to say how much he will try to
IIlhho tnt touiNg pag hliiis AiV NSiu "AtshN
and the board he will not let anyone
come into the jail to feed the prisoners
unless the courts command him to do so,
Two weeks ago Chairman Lynch asked
County Attorney English for an opinion
as to whether the board should try to
mandamus Mcshane to let Wright enter
the jail and feed the prisoners. Mr.
English has given no definite opinion,
but he has told reporter he thinks :.
would be as well to wait until the board
lets a new contract and then fight Gu.
the whole matter.
The question whether the city or the
county shall pay for the extra meal given
prisoners quartered in the county jan,
but working on the city rock pile, is an
other question that must be settled by
the courts before the county win make
any payments.

HAS NO OFFER FOR THE PLANT
F. A. Nash Says He Has No Offer
Either for Buying Power.
HAS INVESTIGATED THE SCHEME
Does Not Think the Proposed Plan
Would BE Able to Furnish
Power Cheaper Than Can
be Produced by Coal.

T. A. Nash. president Of the Omaha
Electric Light and Power company, just
back from New York. says that Henry
L. Doherty and associates have neither
entered into negotiations to buy the
Omaha plant nor offered to enter into
any contract with the company to sell
its current. II is the Doherty interests
that are reported to be contemplating a
big power plant at Columbus. to furnish
power TO Omaha and other cities.
Il talked with these people In New
York last week" said Mr.. Nash, but
they made no proposition, nor do think
they can make one that will interest us
"of course we would buy electricity
from them IL We could get II cheap
enough, but we investigated the Loup
river project for ourselves ten years ago
and abandoned 1t as impractical. / went
over every foot of the ground myself
and We paid $500 in fees TO the best
engineers in the country to make tech
meal Investigation. do not say that
a plant cannot be built that will produce
an enormous amount OF powell believe
II can-but the expenditure In canals,
reservoir site. plant maintenance and
interest on bonds would be so great
that with the amount Of power lost In
transmission 1t would be impossible for
such a plant to furnish US with power
for a less price that the present cost OF
producing It by coal
IL think some broker went TO Doherty
and told him he could buy our plant at
a certain figure. and that is probably the
way the story got started.
.since we turned down the proposition
as, impractical. the value OF the land
necessary for canal and reservoir has
doubled and materials necessary for con-
-spuctionshay greatly advanced in price.
,c..As. fof anybody buying the Omaha
plant or any considerable portion Of the
stock. think II is out of the question
We are counting largely on brilliant
future for Omaha and any price We would
consider must include a heavy consider
alton for future prospects. / don't know
OK anybody who could and would offer a
price that we would seriously consider.
I'VE are not worrying about our fran
chise. Even II the United States supreme
court should decide that our franchise
has expired. the city will no doubt give
us new franchise, probably not on the
terms we would like, but on terms under
which we could operate profitably. The
city government knows that it can't get
something for nothing. 1t must have the
service from somebody and It would be
willing 10 grant US franchise under con-
ditions that would allow us7some return
on our investment. Nothing else could
be expected. However, we do not expect
the supreme court to say We have 20
franchise ...
