BORDEAUX, Sept 27.-In many OF the

Cadet Taylor, collector of customs, re-
turned Saturday morning from New

ference of collectors held last week
Under the reorganization there are now

at Washington and Assistant Secretary
OF the Treasury Peters, who looks after
the customs business OF the country were
present From New York most of the
executives went TO Washington TO COM
plete official transactions.
The collectors OF the south complain
particularly of stagnation in the cotton
crop as no foreign ports to speak of are
open for this product, and pay for the
same is decidedly uncertain.
The general sentiment is that the busi-
ness men should stand by each other

Art Critic Describes
Cathedral Damage

LONDON. Sept 26.-A Reuter- dispatch
from Paris says Thlebault Slssons. art
critic Of the Temps, has visited the
cathedral at Rheims and gives the fol-
lowing description OF the structure as IL
now stands;
ITO judge Of the damage it was neces-
sary to ascend the towers There | saw
the bells completely melted. The roof,
which was made Of lead plates. had en-
tirely disappeared; the magnificent cam
panile. made OF wood and lead, erected
at the crossing OF the transepts and apse
had vanished. The vaults still are stand
ing and the nave was not touched by
fire
The writer thinks. however. that the
autumn rains and frost win play havoc
with the stones and that measures must
be taken Immediately to strengthen the
walls He concluded by quoting the
German emperor's son TO the Rheims
municipality a few days before the bonn
bardment:
The best proof Of my desire not to
touch the building is that / am ANXIOUS

JAIL GRAFT BEYOND
RECALL BY RULING
Sheriff's inflated Feeding Bills
Eliminated for All Time by
Supreme Court
FORMER DECISION is SUSTAINED
Supreme Judges Refuse RehcarInE
of Ruling that McshRne Is En-
titled TO Only Reasonable
Compensation for Meals.

The desperate efforts OF Sheriff +. j.
McShane jr.. to freeze to his 500 a day
Jail feeding graft" have ended In de-
feat, the state supreme court yesterday
having overrliled hts attorneys motion
for a rehenring OF tne decision that he
was entitled only to reasonable compen-
sation from the county, according to
advices from Lincoln.
The county board, which had called
on the sheriff to make a showing yes
terday OF the amount considered reason
able payment for furnishing the prison
ers' food, postponed consideration on Rc-
count of the absence OF Sheriff McShane
and his attorney. Arthur Mullen.
The sherlfrs bills for feeding prisoners
were three times scrutnized by the SUI
prome court in the light OF q new statute
passed by the Legislature. First a por-
tion OF the law excepting Douglas county
from the remainder OF the state where
feeding bills OF 80 cents per day per
prisoner were allowed and granting the
Douglas county board power to settle
the question for itself was declared un-
constitutional, while the other provisions
were allowed to stand.
County Board Fights 20 Finish.
The county board again carried the
case to the high court and was defeated,
but a motion for a rehearing was granted
and the court ultimately held the entire
statute unconstitutional, leaving the sit
uation as ii had been prior to the passage
Of the law
In the interval between the second de-
cision OF the court and the decision upon
the motion for a rehearing several more
cases involving monthly bills were forced
to trial In district court by the sheriff
and attempts were made TO induce the
members OF the board 10 LAY down." the
situation even going so far that they
We're publicly criticized for insisting on
fighting the case to the last ditch by
Omaha newspapers.
Credit Due to These.
The fight of the county board members
led by Commissioner John c. Lynch. was
upheld at all times by The Bee which
gave publicity TO their efforts and to the
evils Of the fee graft. Mr.. Lynch as a
member OF committees which had TO deal
with the feeding situation took a prom
inent part In pushing the case to It's con-
Clusion.
Myron l.. Learned was retained as spe-
cial counsel by the board and is credited
by local lawyers with having won an i'm
pOrtant legal victory.

ON THE BATTLE FRONT (Via Paris),
Sept H.-All efforts OF the opposing
armies were concentrated on the western
and eastern wings today. The allies had
foreseen such a move on the part OF the
Germans toward the west, however, and.
although very strong forces of the in
vaders had been thrown on the Somme
river, they found themselves opposed in
equal numbers.
The infantry played an important part
oil along the line and pushed back the
Germans for a considerable distance. All
