AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Judge Sears Puts Off Decision in the
Mandamus Proceedings,
OUTSIDE ATTORNEY IN THE CASE
Murphy Tells the Court that the
Present Condition ~ Far
from Being an Emergency
Magic city Gossip.

District Judge Willis Sears refused to
BE hustled into decision yesterday at
the insistence OF tnv mayor ~ South
Omaha and his special attorney" John
Paul Breon OF Omaha. The mayor and
his attorney wanted the mandamus pro-
ceedings against the city treasurer heard
at once. The plea was made that many
police we're not working and that the
matter had to be settled forthwith. City
Attorney Murphy told the court that, far
from being an emergency the present
condition Of the police fund had been
foreseen and warned against many moons
ago. The city attorney asked that the
time for hearing the case be set about
July &, which Judge Sears agreed to.
One OF the legal points to be settled
without delay Is the right Of an outside
attorney to come in and assume TO rep
resent the city Of South Omaha notwith-
standing the fact that the people OF South
Omaha have elected a city attorney and
prescribed his duties in the charter. Con-
siderable interest attaches 20 the outcome
