Mayor Bemnis, the first witness on the stund, testified that he was noml nated the first time on October 17, 1891, and was Inducted Into office on the first Tues day in January, 1892, He acted in good faith and for the best interests of the com- munity with reference to all of his official dutie: Mr. McCulloch failed, as the court told proper to show intent With reference to the enforcement of laws and ordinances of the city, the mayor said that he always acted in accordance with Lis best judgment, his desire being to Kkeep vice and crime at the lowest point All of this time Mr. McCulloch was ob jecting, and all of the time the court was knoeking him out by refusing to sustain his object|ons.

On cross-cxamination that in his opinion, when he went into loffice there were fully 100 gambling houses in the city, scattered about hotels, fn Afiats and in private residences, all running behind closed doors Such wa the general opinion among citizens and officials. AS TO GAMBLING. When the gambling ordinance was pro- sented to him for his approval, the mayor _stated that he conferred with city officials. judges and many prominent citizens of Omaha. There was talk all along the line 1h the plan of fining gamblers at stated intervals, in sums not exceeding $200 each, would be more satisfactory than to allow them to run behind eclgsed doors without belng subject to police Interfercnce, except when raided. The mayor testified that tavor of gambling houses, but he thought that if they were to run, it would be bet- ter for the community to have such places operated with open doors, which could be subjected to visits of the police, than to ve hundreds of dives located in back rooms and in hotels. After the signing of the ordinunce, gambling houses in the city were fined $150 each month until they were finally closed by the chief of police. Under the old plan, once or twice every six months a rald was made on the larger gambling places, but without results, as the gamblers were always tipped off, and no conviction followed. Entering upon the dutieg of his office, the mayor said that he started in with the Idea of having a business men’s adminis- tration. Consulting with the chiet of police, that official had reported the gambling evil under better control than ever before in the listory of the city, as under the wor Ings of the new ordinance gambling wa confined to a few places, instead of being seattered far and wide hotels, saloons residences, ou were at the council meeting when (ke anti-vice petition was presented and you teok a part in the discussion, did you not?’ avked Mr. McCullooch THE ANTI-VICE CRUSADE 1 was there,” answered the mayor, “and was very unexpectedly alled out by that great morallst of the First ward, Mr. H call, he suggesting that as 1 had twice BLeen around the world, my views might be valnable, My remarks were made after you and some other parties had spoken. I did not attend the meeting for the purpose of making a speech, but was prevatled upon to do #0." In the meeting of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, the mayor sald that jie voted against the adoption of the anti vige crusaders’ resolution, believing that the police force of the city was capable of coping with the gambling evil. “On March 27, 1893, did not-Mr. Gilbert in duce another gambling resolution in the weeting of the Board of Fire and Police missioners?'" asked Mr. McCulloch ean't sa replied the mayor, ‘but it s quite probable, for after the whole bur- fen was plac:d upon my shoulders, th fesolutions came along about every nlig when there was a meeting held. 1f ther was such resolution introduced, it is quite I voted against it, as 1 was well fled to let well enough alone. g to Mr. McCulloch,, “yo ed a mou ) and brought forth 1 wmouse,” rctorted Mr. Connell. Continuing his line or t imony sestified that from the time of the presenta fon of the anti-vic crusaders’ tion here was a continued effort practised by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners to shift the responsibility and make him bear he whole of the burden. This was not by all but by certain members, who were evidently Afrald to face the issues, as they developed freme time to time, coming from the crv ders und from the purity members of the sovniell, especially from the wember fro the-First ward, one or the bupeachm manag s In such cases the mayor said that h net ready to assame the responsibilty for that reason he voted to defeat Jutions looking to this end, other members of the maks him A ccapegoat to shield themselye feom criticlsm which might arise PHAT FAMOUS RESOLUTION Regarding the celebrated Strickler res Wtlon, fntroduced during the early part of Jennary of (he present year and instructing the chief of police to close all gambling Bouses in the city, the mayor say that he wyoled 1o lay it cn the table in order that might have an opportunity of consult- ing with the city attoruey, that he might Jbave time lo ascertain what he was vot- mean by that?” asked do you refer to?" asked sald that rulings we would not be" pe ry trials,” answe ton has made McCulloch, as hajr ayor for the desire the mayor testified he was not i in the mayor was and the reso preferring that board should | about | around my neck and dictate my policy. 1 1 Cow ing for. The responsibility, the mayor id, had all been placed upon his shoulders, and’ for that reason. he felt that he | should have time to consider a resolution which was two three pages In length The tabling of the resolution did not de- feat it, simply placing it In a position whero it could be considered at some other date When opposing Strickler's anti-vice cru sade movement the mayor said that he had made up his mind to keep vice and crime at the lowest ebb. He had at that time as- sumed the respongiblity of closing the gambling houses and did not think that the members of the board should dictate th courze that Le should pursue in carrying into effect the laws and ordinances of the eity. The Strickler crusade resolution the mayor considcred as buncombe, and was wore for efiect and to please gallery | han for any other purpose After that the mayor informed the that if the members would reseind thelr former action and start anew he would ba w.th them in any reasonable effort to elos up gambling houges, but he did not want Mr. McCulloch, Rev. Crane, Rev. Helling C. A. Starr and a few others to stand be. hind Commissioners Strickler and Gilbert and prod them on to cencure him when he was performing his duties to the best of his ability and in accordance with law The retort to the question of Mr. Me- Culloch caused a titter to pass through tho audience, and before it had subsided the court asked Mr. McCulloch, “Are you through? The legal gentleman was not, but suddenly and without notice he dropped ‘“the good | intention” f of his cross-examination and branched off, taking up another feature of the managers’ persecution The mayor remembered that prior to his election the World-Herald charged —that he attended a meeting in The Bee building, at which meeting there were present Edward Rosewater, City Attorney Connell, Jack Morrison and a White, when asked the question “On_my own motion," said will rule that question out upon the ground of being immaterial and irrel:vant There was nothing of that kind alluded to in the direet examination and no reference to such & charge in the specifications.” WHAT THE MAYOR SAID TO WHITE.

The trial was resumed in the alternon with Councilman . Jacobsen .on the witness stand. When the guestion of parks was up for ideration, in the council he voted to | the HBemis park tract. When the | park bonds were voted, it was understood that the Bemis tract was one of those to be purchased by the city. At no time, by word or act, did Mayor Bemis do anything in the way of getting the city to purchase tlie park. Councilman Jacobsen was one of the councilmen who refrained from taking the Pacific coast junketing trip last spring He testified that” he was at the meeting it was decided to expend monoy to iase food for the Kelly army. It was ed between the mayor, the members of cil who were present and other officials that Omaha should furnish the ith three meals and then send the men to Council Bluffs. - This action was taken for the reason that all persons who were present felt that an emergeney existed When er amined, Councilman Jacob- son testified that he had never conferred with Mayor Bemis, J. H. Dumont or F. B. Miller, the mayor's secretary, with reference to the purchase of Bemis park, and there ended the questioning Mayor Bemis was again cross-examination resumed. He testified that the meeting referred to at the morning ses #fon of the court was the only one at which White or Morrison were present. At no time during the political campalgn did he meet cither of the men except when one of them called at the office to contribute toward the support of some persons who had lost a house and the contents by fire. When the meeting was leld in Mr. Rosewater's office in The Bee building the subject of gambling was | not mentioned, nor was there anything sajl about campaign expenses or how they were 10 be defrayed. As the mayor was coming out of Mr. Rosewater's office he met Dr. Gluck, the son-in-law of Jefl Bedford, who was running for mayor on the democratic ticket The mayor had never seen Morrison prior to the time of meeting him in Mr. Rose- water's He had seen White once be- a time when he was intro- g THE COWGILL MATTER. Touching upon the city electrician matter the mayor testified that he had sent M. G I's name to the council upon three different occasions, it heing rejected cach time by a vote of about 14 to 3, that being the Wiley vote Here Judge Hopewell interfered, Mr. McCulloch that the vote w record, a thing that was afready court Why Cowglll's name was sent to the council after being rejected twice was for the reason, the mayor sald, that he desired to have a man for city electriclin who was compelent, honest and free from corporation influences, a man who would work for the interests of the city, instead of for the interests of some Jighting company. There were several applicants for the position, the | mayor suld, some of whom were fighting Wiley and his company. These men the mayor did not want, as his desire was to be fair and honorable with Wiley and ther men. Did not Cowgill's first report appear vorable to Wiley?" asked Mr. McCulloch. Quite the contrary,” answered the mayor “Bofore you appotted Mr. Cowgill, did you ever have a report on electrie lights to show (he candle power?" “Mr. Gilbert, the gas inspector, re me that they were not gIving to 1.200 candle power.” Before the uppointment of the electric Gilbert looked after the electric lights,” Mayor Bemis in r que n the fall of 1862, the mayor testi he first arrived at the conclusion Wiley company was furnishing a was below the require- city called and the telling a matter of before the fa- orted to exceed Mr ponse to a that contract u ever the diffe Jurteen coun talk with Mr. B ence between you " asked Mr 1t scems to me,” sald Jud that you are going & good way rules of ocross-examination Mr. McCulloeh dropped this line of cross mination and went into the park matter. NO PLEDGES TO GAMBLERS E. Rosewater, editor of The Bee, was called as a ess. He testified that shortly prior the time of holding the convention at which Mayos Bemis was nominated the sec- ond time, he was In the mayor's office when Rosewater and the McCulloch Hopewell out of t men { the | avound White, one of the proprietors of the Dia- mond,” was present. It had been reported that the Third ward delegation was shaky. White said that he could fix up the delega- tlon, providing there were pledges to the ‘ect that all of the gambling houses might run until after election, and then be allowed to name certain ones which should remain open. When this remark was made by White the mayor denounced the plan, be- coming very angry. He said that the delega- tion was for him and that he did not prop: to have a collar put around his neck. Soon after that Attorney Connell came Into the yffice and again White was denounced, The next meeting, Mr. Rosewater said, was held in his private office in The Bee building. The World-Herald had published an editorial charging that all of the gamblers were sup- porting Bemis, and The Bee had replied that the Diamond was opposing him. Following the publication of that reply, Morrison and White visited Mr. Rosewater's office, staying in the ante-rcom until they wege invited into the private room, where Mayor Bemis and Attorney Connell happened to be. Then White and Morrison £aid that they were not fighting Bemis. That w Il there was to interview, There was no prearranged meeting, the mayor and these men just hap- pening to come together. White and Morri son Were at The Bee office to see the witness. and not the mayor. They went away before the mayor did, and while there, there was thing said about them supporting Bemis mayor Mayor Bemis was witness stand, with Mr. ing him about gambin MORE THA It makes you hot for again led to the McCulloch question ONE HOT. when any one says anything to you about this gambling mat- ter, does it not?" asked Mr. McCulloch. ‘Yes," responded Mayor Bemis, “it makes me hot when Judge McCulloch Join hands with that great labor agitator and moral reformer from the First ward, Isaac Hascall, and that other great mioralist from the Fourth ward, Daniel H. Wheele conspiriag with the World-Herald- “Hold on,” sald Mr. McCulloch, “that is not responsive to the question,”” but Mayor Bemis would not hold on, for he denounced e impeachmient as a persecution, instituted the attorneys for the prosecution and riain anti-vice leaders Mr. McCulloch asked the the court, but Judge Hopew plied. “Judge, you have invited yourselt."” “Bverybody s drunk but you,” added Mr as he turned toward the mayor jud said Judge Hopewell, “you know that this fs not cross-examination and will not be permitted. You asked the the question, ‘You do get hot when gambling matier is brought up? The r has simply been answering you.' s settled this part of the examination h Mr. McCulloch, and the regular qu tioning was resumed, the mayor testifying that the $30 which White handed to him in his office was a contribution to the families of the firemen who were killed in the Shiv- erick fire. At that time the mayor was the custodian of the funds, and the money cam to him as such custodian. His intention with teference to the purchase of the Bemis park tract were all in good faith, he simply carrying out the instructions of the park commisston and the city councl Mr. Connell read a letter from Rev. T. J. Mackay, published in the city papers, in which he said that he had refused to sign the anti-vice petition, believing that the mayor and chief of police were dolng more to suppress than were the crusaders He said that he was of the opinion that the mayor had adopted the right course in hand ling the gambling question, for to close the he would scatter the evil to many places throughout the city Tie letter was introduced in evidence, and hen Mr. McCulloch tried to have the mayor say that the opinion of Mr. Mackay out- weighed the opinions of the parties who signed the anti-vice petition. The mayor sald that he did not question the honesty of the signers of the petition, but he did mot believe that o city could be run on the straight-laced Puritan plan, nor did he be- lieve in running a city to suit gamblers. The mayor said his idea was to run a cily upon « business plan ANTI-VICE PETITION. Taking up the anti-vice petition, Culloch asked, “Do you know J. lipp1?”* “Yes, him, and 1 know signers of that Sunday school names printed ever signed.” Going on with his line of examination, Mr McCulioch held the an e petition in his hand, reading names and asking this ques- tion, “Do you know this man?” until the judge tired and held that it was not neces kary to go through the entire petition. City Prosecutor Shoemaker, nupon being called, testified that his official duties were performed at the police court of the cit There had been no prosecution of gamblers under the state law, as it was considered useless. Mr. Gilbert, of the fire and police commission, wanted the witness to have a lot of search warrants issued, to be carried by the police, 5o that a rald could be made when it was desired. Under the state law, during 1890, when R. C. Cushin was mayor. was not a gambler ar- rested and bound over to the district court. As soon as the new system was put i operation, gamblers were arrested, arled convicted and fined $150, besides the costs the charge being that of keeping a dis- orderly house. The plan was not illegal, as the fine was imposed under the terms of & city ordinance which was in force. Mr, Shoemaker did not know that the chief of police could not prosecute gamblers for the reason that he did not have any support in this direction. He had seen guch a report in the World-Herald editorial columns, but knew nothing about its trutlfulness City Clerk Evans was recalled by the attor- neys for Mayor Bemis, having wiih him the record showing the bids for e lighting, and that the Citizens’ company proposed to give the 2,000~ candle power electric lights at 887 a per annum; that these bids were rejected a report made by Hascall and that quently bids of the Thomson-Houston com- pany were accepted at $130 per lamp per annum, and that these were referred o the city attorney with instructions to draw the contract Mr. Clarkson objected of the record in evidence, as this was some- thing that oecurred after the impeachment charges had been filed in the office of the clerk of the district court. The court ruled the record out and then the original bids were introduced in_evidence, Mr. Clarkson sbjecting, and his objection being overruled WILEY'S LETTER TO COWGILL Following up this, Mr. Connell introduced a number of letters written by Solon L. Wiley to M. J. Cowgill while the latter was city electrician, The letters were all invita- tions for Mr. Cowgill to call at Mr. Wiley's ) stairs office in the First National bank building. They read like this: “I have some important information to impart to you, and it convenient it would be well for you to call at once.” City Attorney Connell was called sworn as a witness. He testified to the interviews in the mayor's office and in the office of Mr. Rosewater, when he, the mayor, Mr. Rosewater, Messrs. White and Mor- rison, were present. His testimony cor- robated that given by Mayor Bemis and Mr. Rosewater. Mr. Counell knew of ho greement which the mayor had ever had with White, Morrison, or any other gamblers. On cross-examination, Mr. Conmell re- plied to Mr. Clarkson that while he managed Mayor Bemis' second campa there never was anything said or done with reference to gamblers and gambling. s was an element that was never considered in wis In discussing the campaign look with Mayor Bemis, the subject regard- ing what candidate the gamblers would sup- port was never considered. Taking up the cross-examination, Mr Clarkson asked the question, “You are very to Mayor Bemis, are you not?" Mr, Connell replied that he and the mayor were on friendly terms. “Have you pald your Mr. Clark That is not proper cross-examination and you know it interrupted Judge Hopewell. “1 have pald more city taxes during the past six months than you ever pald in your life,” answered Mr. Connell, ignoring the injunction which Judge Hopewell had hurled at’ Mr. C 1 gue this Is not proper cross- examination,” returned Mr. Clarkson, and as he dropped the witness like a hot potato the court fjourned until this morning. i i Oregon Kidney Tea cures all kidney troubles, Trial size, 25 cents.
