MINISTCRS STORY D2NIED ! the 8 coln Causes Troul OCampaign Aeair PASTOR SHEPHERD S WCRD QUESTIONED Mayor Welr Refases Yo Accept the Presid Vg Elder's “Whitewash” and Takes Oconsion to Keview the Cas Exteacts from 1 Letter, Lascos, Dee. 23 —(Special to Tne Bee tent of the social evil in Lincoln, which was comnenced b Shephera of the Metho dist Episcopal church in this city somc woeks ngo has broken out afresh Shepherd inaugurated the contlict lating the exa Dr. Parkhurs York, He preacned a sermon upon the joct, in wh wdo A scathing criticls of the Lincoln oficials for not doing their duty. He then followed up the matter by several letters printed in the local papers. All went well enough, and th ercnd gen- tieman was in a fair way to reputa- tion of n Parkhurst without being require to share any of thecriticism, But the change came when Mayor Weir replied to the state- ments made by the minister Rev. Mr. Shepherd wade the sensational statement that he had visited the partof the city known as the “bottoms,” where Lin- coln's sin and degredation congregate, and while there had conversod with a policeman who had informed him that there were over 100 houses of ill fame and that each house contained from three to ten in s, cording to the reverend gentleman the same policeman volunteered the that the police had adopted the plan of herd ing these unfortunate women like so many dogs or hogs and that he “thought no more of clubbing them or driving them about than he would 8o many hogs.” The preacher also asserted that as he stoc on the corner he counted mc than 200 men and boys scat- tering into the “haunts of her whose feet have taken nhold on hell.” Further, that husbands and sons to the number of 5008 ht were turning “from home and love to icath. " Aroused the Worthy Mayor, These wholesale charges created an in- tense sensation in Lincoln and aroused the mayor aud the e rs of the excise board o make a personal investigation. Tne offi- cials failed o find o state of affairs as de- scribed by tho minister, cven after they had passed the g researches and visited ¢ to the police 1 th the mayor, convinced th had drawn on his imaginati ter part of the night in their vy resort known Then man ced all th charges and the cvidence gathered by the excise board into the hands of Presid Elder Sleeth and asked for action. Théy siding elaer hus made his nd, to a phrase much 1n vogue in tive ses sions. the report was practically a_“whit wash.” Mayor Weir refuses to allow misstatements of the clergyman to go un buked. and he has therefore prepared o let- ter which will be published in the news- papers of tomorrow morning, and which talks straight from the shoulder. Aumng other things he say: “From Mr. Shepherd’s conversation with the allered policeman, and I say alleged be- rause every man on the force has denied ever having such conversation with any man, Tquote: ‘I said there must be more than 100 houses of infamy in Lincoln," and he answered, ‘more than that’ The sime policeman (?) told him that in the circle of his contracted rounds in the bottoms there were thirty houses of ill-fame, with three to ten girl inmates in each. These statlements are now, and were at the time they were made, absolutely false. Ichal- lenge Mr. Shepherd to identify the polic man who made suct ststements. None of them ever did. It was probably some of the private watchmen in the boltoms who were guying him.” Decided Against the Board. The members of the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings were considerably sur- ised to learn that the district court had ided the mandamus case recently brought by the lady managers of the Home for the Friendless in fayor of the home and against the board. They announce that the case will be taken to the supreme court in order ihat the matter may be finally and definitely sertled in the court of last resort. Judg ) pase, sustain the lady managers in but one, and that is the rule which relates lo the disposition of the money used for the payment of the board of the inmates. The findings of the court are: First, that the Home for the Friendless is a state mstitution governed by two sections of the law, the first giving the Board of Public Lands and Buldings the supervision of all state instituuions snd the second creating the Home for the Friendless and giving it into the hands of the society The latter provision is construed by the court to mean_that the Board of Public Lands and Buildings can ouly adopt such 1l points rules for the government of the Home for the Friendless as do nof conflict with the supervision of the society. : The court directed that a peremptory writ of mandamys issue, requiring the e Board of Public Lauds and Buildings to act at once upon the vouchers submitted to them by tho managers of the h but grauted the board forty days in which to perfect its bill of exceptions and take an nppeal to the supreme court. State Banks Must Keports The State Banking Board today sent out notices to all state and private banks in Ne- braska, asking them to forward statements of theit condition at the close of business on December 19, The are nearly 600 banks under the supervision of the board. The call was made for the I5th inst. for the rea- son that the call for the national banks was made for the same day, and it1s the desire of the board to enable the banking interests of the state to make a comparison between the state and national bauks. The con- solidated report will hardly be ready for publication before the miadle of January, as the work of compiling 1t is considerable with the limited clerical help at the disposal of thebanking department.

The fire and police commissioners met as a license board vesterday afternoon and tinued the hearing of the Metz case. F. M. Youngs, foreman of Tue Bee press room, was called. +How many editions of Tur BEE are run off in the morning?” asked the legal repre- sentative of the Worid-Herald. This ques- tion was objected to by Mr. Simeral on the ground that Tue MORNING BEE was not the paper in question. The objection was sus- tained by the board. Then Attorney Hall consumed a half hour in asking for details about the workings of the press room, and asked any number of questions which had no bearing in the case. Witpess said that he kept a record of the number of pavers printed, and made a re- port to the business manager of Tur Be Do you keep an account of the number of papers supplied to carriers?” was the next question. The witness declined to answer, and fifteen minutes were consumed by Hall in senseless talk. Hall said that Tue B was afraid to allow the witness to_produce his record of the papers printed. Mr. Sim- eral deuied this and remarked that ne_ was sady av any time to prove that Tie Eves- 1xG Bee had the largest circulation of any paper in Douglas county. At this cture Mr. Rosewaterinstrucied Mr. Youngs to go to the oftico and get bis book. When the book was produced the World-Herald people decided that they did not want it, because the introduction of such evidence would necessitate their showing their hand. Then Hall made a loug talk and objected to the board following tue aecision of Judge Keysor in reference to cach edition consti- tuting & paper. He wanted to bunch the entire circulation of his clieat’s paper as against THE EVENING BEE Hartmap stopped the talk long enough to say that e could get at the case in a very few minutes by placing the editors on the stand aud getting at the circulation of the edition of the paper printing the liquor no- it Mr. Hitchcock would not have this. con- figures for separate editions. ‘Again Mr. Hartman protested against the avtorney represeating the World-Herald and said that nine-tenths of the talk made would not be cousidered at all, as it was immate- rial and had no bearing on the case Secretary Tzschuck of Tue Ber Publish- ing company was sworn #nd sald that he veritied the circulation statament before it was sworn to. Hall tried to make the w ness siy that the worning and evemng ed tions were one paper but did not succeed, as the witness emphatically told him they were not. Auother howl from Hall went up, and the board plainly showed that it was dis- gusted with bis tactics. Then the attorney who is prosecuting the case held a consultation with his client ‘and made the following offer 10 the board. He said: ¢ 1 offer to show that the circulation of the World-Herald, all editions during the week Sunday excepted, 1s larger in Douglas county toan that of Tue Bee." Alr. Simeral objected because such a show- ing wouid be in contradiction of Judgo Key sor's decision, which said that one edition constituted a newspaper and that there was uo such paper as the *'Daily World-Herald.” The objectiou was sustained. Mr. Hitcheock was placed on the stand He identitica 8 Morning World-Herald wnd an Evening \\'ol‘ld-ller.xm.inul insisted upon calling the pavers the “Daily World-Herald.” “What is the ciroulation ia Douglas county of the Morning World-Herald!" was asked. Witness refused to answer. Mayor Mewis, addressing the switn said: “What we want 0 get at is whic @ iition of & newspaper has the largest cir- culation in Douglas county.” Hitchoock re- fused o answer. He was then shown a copy of bis paper containing a two column lottery advertisement, and asked if it was in all of his editious. This question was objected to and the objecuion sustained. Witness de- clared that the Daily World-Herald circu- lated in excess of 6,000 copies lu Douglas county and admitted that bhe had figured 8,000 extra copies soid to Sheriff Beonett the day before electiou into the general average. Mr. Rosewater was called, and Attor- ney Simeral asked witness which edition of Tue Omana Bee had the largest circulation in Douglas county.
