Library Board
Tangle Does Not
Affect Omaha
Membership Remains at Five
Although Others Increased,
Because of Commission
Plan, Says TePoel.

The legal question which has been
raised by DR.. H. B. Lowrey of the
Lincoln public library board anent
the public library board of the cap
ital city in particular and other
boards of the state in general, does
not affect the one in Omaha, ac-
cording to L. J. TePoel, city attor-
ney.
Attorney TePoel has been a mem-
Der of the Omaha public library
board for years. and is fully con-
versant with the laws governing
this administrative body.
DR.. Lowrey's point is that the
state statute, which limits the num-
Der of members on library board
to five, also requires that five men,
bers be present if business is trans
acted. Under a strict application Of
the law, it is stated that, no library
board can transact any business un-
less all five members are present
The Lincoln board has recommend
ed to the city council that the num-
Der be increased to nine, the quorum
to be fixed at five.
The Omaha public library board,
however, has been operating for the
last nine years under the commits
sion plan of city government The
board here only certifies expendi-
lures to the city comptroller, having
no authority to issue warrtnts. The
Omaha city council has power to
abolish the library board, increase
or decrease its membership or other
wise modify the administration of
the public library.

McKelyie Still
Stands Pat on
School Reserve
Governor Insists That Univer.
sity Regents Set Aside 10
Per Cent of Certain Ap.
preparations Quarterly.

Lincoln, Aug. 6.-(Special, Gov
S. r. McKelvie today refused to
weaken to the insistent demands OF
the State university. regents that
they be given a special dispensation
f;o the new law, which calls for
setting aside 10 per cent of certain
appropriations for a reserve fund,
and in letter today to P. L. Hall
of Lincoln, chairman of the board,
informed him that on the first quar-
terly estimate of expenditures for
the university $49,623.50 must be set
aside. ..
This includes the following items
with the amount of the quarterly ap-
preparations asked for by the board
and the amount which the governor
has sanctioned and from which he
has deducted the 10 per cent:
Amount Amount

For agricultural extension 16.625 1882
For conservation and soil
For suryss Sssckinx land sale, sess sess 'ssS ssS
maintaining trade school 1915 s.4s7
Some Exceptions.
The governor at the same time an
nounced that appropriations for
the following need not come under
the 10 per. cent reserve head: Nur-
ses Home, Omaha; Memorial gym
nasium, university cash fund, univer-
sity endowment income, agricultural
mechanical arts, Smith-Lever fund.
agricultural experiment station,
building sewer.
That the governor and the board
of regents are at "loggerheads" over
the attempt of the governor to check
their expenditures for the purpose of
establishing a reserve fund was in
dicated in the letter written to Hall
by the governor.
1t was evident that the governor
deplored the condition existing and
is willing to do everything
possible to smooth out matters and
at the same time follow the letter of
the new 10 per cent reserve fund
law. He said in the letter:

Bluffs Pioneer
Kicked to Death
In Sons Barn
Aged Man Rushed to Hospital
When Found With Hoof-
Marks on Head at Door
OF Stable.

Charles Huber, 62, pioneer OF
Council Bluffs, was kicked to death
by his horse in the stables behind
his sons butcher shop, liz East
Broadway. Council Bluffs, yesterday
morning, according to police.
He died in Mercy hospital at 6
a. M, two hours after he was found
with his head battered and hoof-
marked, just outside his barn.
About 1880 Friday night a woman
called Bluffs police and told ex-
citedly that thieves were trying to
steal a harness in the Huber stables.
Police made hurry call and found
Huber in the barn with the horses.
He refused to go home and repulsed
advices of his son, Carl, whom po-
lice called.
Left in Barn.
The officers and son departed,
leaving him in the barn.
At a. m. neighbors heard screams
for help and again summoned police,
who found nothing as they searched
Up and down the alley, but, returning,
they saw Huber lying unconscious
outside the barn. They rushed him to
Mercy hospital, where he died at e.
Police at first feared murder, but
investigation showed hoof prints on
his head and clots of blood and mat
ted hair in the stall behind the
horses. An inquest probably will be
held, although police are satisfied he
came to his death at the feet of the
horse.

Mr.. Huber came to Council Bluffs

Hall Displeased.
Hall, when interviewed today, in
dicated plainly that the governors
action didn't sit well' with him.
Hall said;
Il feel that we have as many con-
stitutional rights as the governor
and, if necessary, can go to court to
establish them. This action cripples
us, especially in our salaries, as we
have raised the salaries of some of
our best men in order to keep them
and at this time cannot see how we
can keep our pledges to them with
the 10 per cent reserve tackled onto
our salary appropriations.
However, we are in hopes that
our next conference will end in a
compromise"
Hall was voluble in saying that
the regents wished to practice econ
omy, but at the same time did not
wish to interfere with efficiency.
Hall is one of the leading democrats
of the state and at one time was
head of the state banking board.

Dawes HoldsOut
Hope Of Future
Cut in Expenses
Director of Budget Says Sale:
Of Surplus War Supplies
Will Exceed Estimates
OF Mellon.

Washington. Aug. 6.--Hopes oi
further reductions in governmental
expenditures during the fiscal year
were held out by Charles G. Dawes,
director OF the budget, before the
house ways and means committee.
Mr.. Dawes also expressed the be-
lief that receipts from sales of sur
plus war supplies will be somewhat
greater than estimated by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon.
Mr.. Dawes was summoned before
the committee to aid in solving the
problem of meeting expenditures
through a revised tax law without
adding any new taxes. The budget
director gave no promise that he
could bring about a sufficient cut
in expenditures to turn the trick, but
he outlined some of the plans in
this direction which he has in mind.
Uses Picturesque Language.
The former banker and brigadier
general INDUCED in some Of his pic
tures Tue language in discussing the
financial situation of the government
and his voice could be heard for a
long distance in the corridors OF
the house office building. He made
special request that there should be
no stenographic record of his re-
marks, which were in executive ses-
sion.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee did not par
ticipate in today's meeting, the re-
publicans wishing to get down to
actual consideration of the tax bill.
During the greater part of the day
the republican members considered
various administrative publications OF
the confidential committee print OF
the revenue bill as proposed by the
Treasury department. DR.. Thomas
S. Adams, tax adviser of the treas
ury, explained the provisions. The
committee took tentative action ap-
proving most of the administrative
sections in the first 50 pages of the
120-page document.
Skip Tax Rates.
The sections relating to tax rates
were skipped for the present, men,
bers of the committee not as yet be-
ing prepared to pass upon them. i!
There is an evident determination to
avoid any new taxes. but the repub-
lican leaders want to be little surer
o! their ground before deciding def
initely that the government can get
along without any additional 1evies
other than an increased corporation
income tax as a substitute for the
excess profits tax.
Among the sections of the pro-
POSED tax bill approved by the re-
publican members were those relat-
ing to the taxation of profits from
the sale of capital assets and the de-
termination of net losses.

In continuing with his statement
of conditions facing and which faced
the bureau, Touvelle explains as fol-
lows:
"When, after the advent of Cover
nor McKelvie in the state house and
the final creation of bureau of Sc
curities, it was found that numerous
companies which have fallen under
the bureaus ban were operating
under permits issued by the old rail-
way commission which in previous
years issued stock selling permits.
These permits extended for a con-
siderable length of time into the
regime of the bureau of securities
and were uncontrollab by the bu-
reau until they applied for continu-
alton of their permits.
"Furthermore, the legislature,
while successful in getting bureau
OF securities created, was not sue
cessful in getting an air tight blue
sky law and the bureau was forced
for two years to work with its hands
tied, so to speak, because the blue
sky law which was in operation
was unwieldly. But this year, thanks
to the efforts Of the administration,
we have gone further and obtained
a real blue sky law"
Many Held Old Permits.
Following are few of the compa-
nies which were operating and which
continued to operate for sometime
under the bureau of securities, due
to the fact that their permits issued
by the old railway commission con-
tinued for a considerable length of
time into 1920:
