Chase, the es- timable wife of Ex-Mayor Chase, died at her home on 13ih street in this city, last night at cleven and a half o'clock. She has been suffering for two or three years from impaired health, and during the past five weeks @ cancer has been rapidly growing which threatened to soon result fatally. As » last resort a surgical operation was ormed on Monday, and for a time it was hoped that the result would be of a favorable nature, Yes terday afternoon, however, the patient commenced to sink rapidly, and grad- ually her vitality ebbed away. When the end came it was peaceful and quiot and the sweet, Christian spirit went out into the wysterious beyond with- out & struggle. Mrs. Chase was a member of the Butterfield family and asister of Mrs, J. M. Woolworth, Miss M. Butterfield and Miss Fannio Butterfield. The lateness of the hour forbids an extended eulogy of the deceased, which will be published hereafter. A be- reaped husband and son are the ro maining members of Mrs. Chase's i mediate family. BEFORE THH BOARD The Investigation, by the Li- cense Board, Into the Mat- tor of Protests, A Critical Examination as to the Character of Curry's Place, Some Plain Facts To!d by Wit nesses Who Know the Den Thoroughly. The keasons For the Protest Against Treltachke by the Goroner's Jury. The License Board, consisting of the mayor, president of the council and city clerk, met at the mayor's office yesterday afternoon to liaten to the testimony presented by the sign- ers of the protests against granting licennen to Curry & Co. and Julius Treitschke. The following is a full and complete report of the proceeding as taken by the stenographer for Tie Be Offiee of Mayor Boyd, the mayor, Thos. H. Dailey, president of the city counciland J. J. L. C. Jewott,city clerk sitting as an examining board in the matter of issuing licenses under the Slocumb law. The application of R. D. Curry & Co., coming on to be heard before the » following proceedings were “G. W. Ambrose, B appeared and said that he on behalf nF R. D. Curry & Co., and who would present for filing a written objection to any further proceedings under the protest which had been filed against R. D. Curry & Co., and he would call the attention of the board to the ordinance or law under which the board was acting, as follows ; v objection, protest or remonatrance fillel in the office » the application is made against the issuance of said license, the county board shall appoint a day for hearing of said caso, and if it shall be satis- factory proven that the applicant for license has been guilty of the viola- tion of any ot the provisions of this act within the space ot one year, or if any former licenso shall have been revoked for any misdemeanor against the laws of this state, then the board shall rofuse to issue such license.” He said that neither one of these objections to the granting of the li- cense are named in the protest, but the applicants were simply cited here as being the keepers of a disorderly house. The board could not act, ex- cept in the way pointed out'by law, and could not hear testimony upon any other subject than as sot out in the ordinance. Mr. E. Rosewater asked permission of the board to address the board, which was granted, and he thereupon stated that the law reads as follows: Statutes of 1881, referring to county boards, and he supposed it also re- ferred to the city board: I'he county board of each county may grant licenses for the sale of malt, spirituous or vinons liguors, if deemed expedient, upon the applica- tion by petition of thirty of the resi- dent freeholders of the town, if the county isundertownship organization, and if not under township organiza- tion, then thirty of tho resident free- holders of the precinct where the sale of such liquors is proposed to take place, setting forth that the applicant is & man of respectablo character an standing and a resident of this state, raying that liconse may be issued to im." He said that if this was a court set- ting to try Mr. Curry for criminal offenses, the objection might possibly be entertained; but the law covering the action of this board n})paaru to be of very wide latitude. He had signed this protest whon it was brought to him, and he believed it was the duty of this board to investigate, especially when it was shown that the charactor of the house was disorderly to the ex- tent of violating the law as provided in this statute, and if there is such evidence they should refuse the license. If the action of this board was not satisfactory, the law provided for an appeal to the district court. The court records show that this county has been put to great expense for trials for crime committed in Curry's place, and it would bo u crime against the community to licenso him, Mayor Boyd— 1 will call the gen- tleman to order. The law says that such offenses must have taken place within a year. Mr, Kosewater continuing, said that the law said that the applicant must bo a man in good standing, and his character and conduct previous to tho last year should be considered. He had 1o objection to the issuing of licensos to parties who keep respecta- ble, law-abiding places o mayor stated th he, as wellas each member of tho bosrd had en deavored to earry out the pr of the law a8 near as thy could, and that he would decide vight then, and the other e bers wou'd sustain him, that they would go on with the cvidenes See tions 10 and 11, publishcd in the newspapers, state that this evidence shall be taken in writing and that if there is un appeal taken it shall by upon the written evidence alove, and for this rearon the board decideded 1o tuke the evide He said if there were any persons there who desived to be sworn the board would go ahead with the testimony. Mr. Rosewater—Under this law it says any party interested shall have process to compel the attendance of witnesses, who shall have the same compensation now provided by law in the district court, to be paid by the party calling such witnesses; he of his own knowledge didn't know the char- acter of Curry’s house, but he wanted to cite witnesses to appear before the board. He thereupon gave the names of L. P. Hazen and Frank Casper, FRANK CASPER, being duly sworn by the mayor, testi- fied as follows: Mayor Boyd--Now go on and state what you know, if anything, why ligense should not be issued to R. D. Curry & Co,, or in regard to their keeping a disreputable or disorderly Louse Mr. Ambrose—Do the board pro- pose to go into it excepting where it in violation of the law, as provided for in the law?

Go on any state any matters you have of your own knowledge, not what you have heard but what you know.” A. Well, I have beer on the street a long while. It is a pretty hard street, that block is, but in Cur- ry's saloon 1 didn’t see any more racket than in tho rest of them. Tt is a hard locality to keep a saloon in, Mr. Ambrese- What are its sur- roundings’ A. Well, houses ot pros- titntion of the worst kind. Q.

Witness — It is nothing unusual to go iuto a saloon of that class and see them playing cards with checks. Mr. Rosewater -1 don’t mean play- ing cards. I mean faro and such things? A. Well there 18 no faro lay-out where the policeman can see it; they play cards with checks and not with money. Mayor Boyd—-In the last year has Mr. Curry’s saloon been a more dis- orderly place than any other saloon in this city? A. Well with the excep- tion of his locality--there is no other saloon kept in 80 bad a locality-—con- sidering his locality I think he has kept a very orderly house; I mever had occasion to stop a racket; the noise is mqre in the other houses. Mr. Rosewater - Are not those houses all connected with Curry's saloon? A. Not particularly; no more than with other saloons, Mr. Ambtose ~As a_policoman do you consider that any disturbance oc curring in the street there, that Curry & Co. are responsible for it or the people surrounding them?! A. Well it is the people surrounding him; of courso liquor has something to do with it. Mr. Rosewater— Do you think those people would stay there if Curry's saloon was not there! A. 1 doun’t know; I don't think his saloon has anything to do with 1t; they patronize his saloon as well as other saloons; there is no other block in town where there are as many disreputable houses; I thing they are the hardest cases in town; that is my opinion of that block. The name of L. P. Hazen was then called at the suggestion of Mr. Rose- water, but he was not present aud the further taking of testimony in that case was postponed till 230 p. m, to-morrow. TREITSCHKE'S CASE. The case of Juhus Treitschke was then taken up and testimony taken as follows: Martin Dunham, sworn, testified as follows: Mayor Boyd—What is your name! A. Martin Dunham and I Jive in Omaha. Q. What is your business? A. business, ). Go on and tell the board what you know about this matter. A. I think it is well known to the boar a8 well, probably, as to me—that this protest comes from the coroner's jury of which I was foreman. Aftor hear- ing the ovidence the coroner’s jury be- lieved that indirectly the cause of this man Hammer's death was that saloon being open at the hour it was—3:10 in the morning— in defiance of three distinet laws, as the jury looked at it, the so-called Slocumb law, the Sunday law and the city ordinaice. 1 know nothing except the evidence brought before us at that time. The evidence taken then was taken by a reporter and is in writing and this court can got it Q. Do you know whether this sa- loon was kept open at the wish of Mr, Treitschke, or whether it was his or- ders that the saloon should be closed? A 1 know nothing except the evi- dewce beforeus, I think the evidence van be produced that it was open there the night after the murder after 12 k and until 3 or 4 o'clock. 1 was arqund there myself after 12 o’clock, but T think you can have ovidence that it was open two or three hours the next morning after this crime was committed. The eviderce can be produced but 1 don't propose to pay for it myself; this court can get it if it is necessary. Q. That will do if you know nothi more. A, Iknow nothing personally. Henry Gibson, sworn, testified as follows: ‘I'he witness—My testimony is sub- stantially that of Mr. Dunham. The evidence was very strong there that that saloon was open till after 3 o'clock Sunday mornmg. Mayor Boyd—Do youknow whether or not it was customary to keep it open till after 12 o'clock’ A. Tdon't know; I think I have seen it open till after that hour myself, but I couldn't tell the dates, How customary it was I don't know. Q. Do you know whether it was epen by Mr. Treitschke's orders, or whether his orders were to close it A. 1 know nothing about that., Mayor Boyd—That is all we want to know, unless you have something further to say. A. No, sir; I have nothing more to say. 1t was open at that time, and the idea of the coro ner's jury was that if it bad been closed at the proper time the murder would not have been committed. J, R. Redfield sworn, testified as follow Mayor Boyd. What is your name? No, Ice A I, B. Redfield Q. You live in sir. Q. Goon and tell what you know about this matter. A. Tknow nothing about it except the testimony pro- duced before the coroner's jury. was summoned to appear here by the clerk of this court. I know there w. some seven or eight witnesses, I think, that testified they were there as late a8 3 o'clock in the morning Q. Did you ever see that saloon open aftor 12 o'clock! A. No sir, 1 never was in the saloon in my life until after the day of this occurrence. Q. You don't know whether it was kept open by Mr. Treitschke's orders Omaha A, Yes ornot? A, Ne sir. J.J. Galligan sworn, testified as follows: Mayor Boyd. What is your name’ A. J. J. Galligan. Q. What is your occupation? A. Chief of the fire department. Q. What do you know, if anything, in regard to Mr. Treitschke's saloon being kept open after 12 o'clock in violation of law/ A. 1 don’t know anything about it being kept open after 12 o'clock or in violation of law. Mr. Dunham--Wasn't you thero Sunday morning after thismurder was committed? A. Yes, sir. Q. Wasn't Mr. Treitschke there himeelf in person? A. No. sir. Q. Wasn't his man there! A, Yes, sir. Q. Didn't you see Mr., Treitschke theret A, T'don’t know whether 1 did see him or not, Mr. Dunham —~Wasn't they selling beer and whisky there the morning after the murder? A. No, sir, not that I know of; there was a big crowd there, and T went to Treitschke and told him he better close up: he was ex- cited and was over where the corpse was; he was staying there and he told me to go and tell the bar keeper. They were going in there to look where the man was killed. That is what T saw and I said, “‘the best thing you can do is to clote up.” T didn’t sec anything sold and [ did not take anything. Tgenerally do when T go into a saloon--take something to drink. Mr. Ambrose— The crowd was in- duced to 4o there out of couriosity? A. Oh, yes; 1 saw men there I never saw there before. Mayor Boyd--Ts it considered an orderly quiet place? A. I was sur- prised at tho affair for the man be- hind the bar was an orderly quiet man. T told Tre tschke ho better close up because 1 saw so many going in thore and coming out. Q. Have you been in there Auring the past yearor so! A. Yes, sir. Q. Bver see any disturbance there? A. No, sir, I have been there at a couple of raflles; T won a piano there one night, me and Treitschke. Martin_ Dunham, recalled -1 was foreman of the coroner’s jury and I want to state that the coroner’s jury had no ill-will towards Mr. Treitschke atall, it was simply a matter of duty, as they wero sworn to take all the evidence in regard to the death of Mr. Hammer. Each witness swore that he was there at three o'clock and ten miautes, and the coroner’s jury felt that they could not ignore the fact, being sworn as they were, that it was a violation of law—a gross viola- tion of law that his saloon was kept open at that hour. Mayor Boyd. You don’t know of your own knowledge that this saloon was kept openuntil after three o'clock? A. No, sir. Q. And that is the reason you want this board to issue his license? A. That is the reason I want this board to investigate. Q. What would you do if you were passing upon this matter under inves- tigation? A. Iam uot a member of the board. Julius Treitschke,sworn, testified as | follows: Mr. Ambrose. How long have you lived in Omaha! A. Eleven years the 20th of last June. Q. What has your business been? A.

I gave instructions to treat the boys well, and to close up at 12 o’clock, I said, “It there is no business after 11 o'clock, close at 11.” T have closed at half-past 10, and have closed at 11 o’clock when I have been down and didn't see any business.
