THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ERIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1894 BOUGHT A COMMISSIONER More Rotténness Unearthed by the Lexow Committee Yesterday, MRS, HZRMANN FUT ON THE STAND Blmply Yestifiod 8he Came Voluntarily and Was Then Excused for the Day— Attempt 1o Biribe Attor- ney Geoff, = NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Today's sensation in oonngetion with the Lexow investigation was the appearance of Mrs, Herm the stand. This was not sensational on account of the testimony, for the witness was excused immediately after saying she appeared of her own free will, but because of the Intrigue Indvlged in by representatives of the committee to secure Mrs. Hermann's pres- | ence. As soon as Justice Potts withdrew his charges of perjury against Mrs. Hermann In Jersey City she was discharged, and rep- resentatives of the Lexow committee asked her It she desired to return to New York and testify voluntaril She replied that she did and was taken to the ferry in a car rlage. There an officer appeared and joined the party, armed with a warrant, chargin Mrs. Hermann with criminal contempt of court, which was only to be served in case she changed her mind. Senator Daly, the witness' counsel, knew nothing of her depart wre from the jail, and sald an hour before she feft that she would never appear before the committee, Early in the day Commissioner Sheehan was excused, with the understand ing that he should appear before the commit tee when summoned, but that he would not be called upon this week. Tammany Leader John W. Boyle, who wa: placed on the stand yesterday, was the first witness called. Mr. Goff wished to bring out that on his recommendation many men had been appointed on the police force. Mr Goft asked him if he had found out who issued the circulars to which his (Boyle's) name wa attached asking for the names of people un- der police protection. He had not been able to do so. “How many men have for appointment on the poli “Two, 1 believe.” *Only two? “Well, the limit is five.”” Mr. Goft then read off a list of nineteen men whom the witness had recommended. After reading each name Mr. Goff would re mark: “Is that the limit?" M Goff sald that John C. Sheehan recommended twenty-one men himself. LIQUOR MEN SELECT GRAND JURYMEN Senator Lexow arrived and took the chair. Mortis Tekulsky, ex-president of the Whole- sale Liquor Dealers’ association, was put on the stand, and admitted he had sent in names of mén to be appointed on the grand Jury. , “Now, why did you want certain men ap- pointed ‘as grand jurors?’ asked Mr. Goff. Mr. Te ul ky ilu ty responded: “I wante men_there who were not prejud ced against the liquor trade.”” John D. Smith, editor of the Wine Liquor Dealers’ Gazette, admitted he had sent Tekulsky names of men whom he thought would treat the liquor interest- with fairness If they were appointed. An adjournment for recess was about to be announced when Lawyer Grant arose and #aid he wished to offer a sworn affidayit from Sergeant Townsend that he had paid $6,000 to Sheehan to get appointed. The chairman would not allow it to g0 on record, Detective Dennet was called to the stand whien the Lexow committee reconvened after rede:s this afternoon. He testified he had tried today to subpoena the notorious Mme. Charles, but was told she was absent from the city. George Mitchell, a former salesman for the Hollywood Whisky company, denied he knew certain police officials had been con- nected with the company and that he had reminded saloon keepers of the fact when he made sales to them. Moses Huntoon, superintendent of the Na- tlonal Ice company followed. He said that when Pollceman Carr was about to be ap- pointed the prospect:ve patrolman had bor- rowed §300 from him. Me had given a check for the money. Policeman Carr was called. He told a connected story of having borrowed the $30¢ to give to his father, a farmer in New Hampshire. _ MRS. HERMANN APPEARED. B this juncture a eensation was caused by th@ arrival of Matilda Hermann. Mr. Goff irged the policeman with lying and in- icted the stenographer to make a copy s testimony to be presented to the grand ry. Mrs. Hermann was called 1o the tand, She was carefully dressed “You came here of your own free will?" A Mr. Goff. Ye . “People In New Jersey said we were trying o kidnap you and threatened to indict our agents.” Then Mr. Goft held a lengthy whispered consultation with the committee and it was decided to excuse Mrs. Hermann for the day. She was placed for the n'ght in custody of the sergeant-at-arms. Edgar M. Tomlinson, formerly chief in- spector of the excise department, was called 1o the stand. He was shown the excise rec- ord and asked to read the record for the Maison Tortoni at Lexington avenue and Thirty-first street. The application was re- ted in October, 1877, “'Was there another application made?" “Yes, ir; by A. L. Lewls.” The witness identified an application made by Joseph Lambert for the same purpose. It was rejected. A bill of sale from Mme. Charles to Joseph Lambert was then pro- duced. “Did you know the proprietor?” “T ad, sir.” The witness then sald asked him to secure by his Influence a license for Mme. Charles. The witness satd he usad his influence to obtain a license and admitted that he had told the woman she would have to take a license out In a a ferent name. He said Mme. Charles called and saw his wite, Mrs. Tomlinson was called and straightforward story of Mme. ting her husband's” influence through her. Mme. Charles, on her visit, ‘gave Mrs. Tomlinson to secure a license, Witness Id she gave this money to her husband and they went to the excise board. Her husband went Into the commissioner's room 1 stood outside,” said the woman, ‘bu through the door I saw Commissisoner Andrews. When my husband came out he sald the 3600 was gone, and he said the license would be granted,” Mr. Tomlincon ‘again took the stand and caused a sensation by saying he went to Andrews' room and gave him $500. BRIBED A COMMISSIONER “Are you positive that you paid Mr. Andrews, who Is now street cleaning et missioner, and sits there, §5007" *Yes, positive; 1 have known thgzy years." Jommissioner Andrews was sitt v foet from the' witness and Tight beiow 1o diag. When accused he turned pale. “That 3500 was a bribe?” asked Senator o onnu‘. ll;:uw tness nodded his head. “DId you receive any of the $500 " Benator Bradley.

"énnr feelings prompted. you to come for- ward?’ ‘asked Senator O'Connor. ‘“Yosi" then the witness straightened up In the chair and looked squarely at Mr. Goff and sald: I have told the truth, 1 am now in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph company, and have been for nn o the recommended force? e had and that a friend told a Charles get- him for | ot Mrs, 31,8 e e —————— — o€ et cusations, Ho at last arose and sald: “In common decency 1 demand an opportunity to be heard and deny under oath taking that $500." Mr. Goft sald the commissioner could take the stand In the morning. The investigation was then adjourned. ATTEMPT TO BRIBE GOFF. The Evening Post today says it has indis- putable evidence that during the course of the present Investigation Mr. Goff was walted on by a person who offered him $10,- 000 as a fee for examination of the title to a plece of real estate which was worth less than $5,000, on condition that he (Goff) would not call as a witness a certain cap- tain of police or mention the name of eaid captain, Mr. Goft declined the offer and called the name of that captain the next da; JERSEY CITY, Nov. 1.—Supreme Court Judge L'ppincott today denled the applica- tion for a writ of habeas corpus in the case Matilda Herman, the Lexow witness, who Is now under arrest in this city. Mrs. Herman must remain in fail for thirty days, the term for which Judge Potts sentenced her. The court decided that it had no power to release the woman in order to have her testify In another ttate. Judge Lippncott also stated 1 it the Lexow authorities wanted to have the woman released they would have to apply to Governor Wertz for a requisition. Mrs. Herman, when in court here, sald that if she was released she was perfectly willing to go to New York and testify. © Lawyer Barricklo of the Lexow committee will probably make application to Governor Wertz for Mrs, Herman's ex trad tion, Mrs. Hermann, the detained Lexow wit ness, was discharged from custody this after- noon by Police Justice Potts, Assistant Ser geant-at-Arms Kearney of the Lexow com- mittee, who made affidavit that Mrs. Her- mann was wanted for perjury when she was arrested here, having made affidavit pray- ing for her discharge on the ground that no indictment had been found by the New York grand jury on the charge of perjury egainst Mrs, Hermann.

BROTHERS. - FOR AND AGAINST Statement that Guatemala Cannot Fight and Ezata Preparations. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.—Alfred Char- pentier, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from France to the five Cen- tral American republics, is here from Guate- mala on a leave of absence. He is enroute for Burope. Mr. Charpentier does not think there will be any trouble between Guatemala and Mexico. He says: “The people of Guatemala have not given the matter any thought whatever. Mexico seems more concerned over the prospect of war than Guatemala, There Is certainly no truth in the report that the government of Guatemala has sent troops to the Mexican frontier That would be folly. Guatemala is not in a position to engage In war with Mexico." General Cienfugos, General Antonio Ezeta's young lieutenant, Who was released from jall a few days ago, will not go back to Acapuleo to join his wife He received a telegram from eta sum ning him to the City of Mexico, and he started thither at once. It is deemed probable that Eze desires his assistance. Through Cienfugos, dzeta purchased from Captain B. N. Jen nings, the broad sword fighter and trainer, a handsome, 6-year-old chestnut sorrel horse known as Dictator, jr. This horse attracted much attention in the soclety circus here some time ago. The horse is to be pre- sented by General Ezeta to his friend, Presi- dent Diaz of Mexico. The price paid for the horse was $2,300. CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 1.—Information has been received here that the government of Guatemala, following the usual course, has consulted a foreign diplomat in the city of Guatemala as to the Mexican difficulty. The diplomatist held that Guatemala’s posi- tion ‘was untenable, hence that county has withdrawn its troops precipitately from the disputed frontier territory at Agua Aguila. L BANK RE OURCES.

LOOTED THE EXPRESS CAR Only Becured a Package of Cheap Jewelry for Their Trouble, ROBBERS LIKE GRASSHOPPERS ON A TRAIN Conductor Saw Them at Every Turn and Could Not Get Away from Them, Yet No One Got w sight of Thelr Faces. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 1.—Passenger train No. 3 of the Kansas City, Memphls & Birmingham railroad was held up at 1 o'clock this morning a few miles east of New Albany, Miss., by three robbers and the express car looted of its contents Conductor W.

CARRIER, Ticket Agent, 1504 Farnam St. e EDUCATIONAL EXHIBIT, &< and Deadwood Showing of What is Bed M. €. A. Evening C George B. Hodges, secretary of the educa- tional department of the Young Men's Chri tian association of North America, Is at the Omaha association reoms this week with an exhibit of the work of the classes in some of the eastern cities. The department \within the past two or three years has gradually been developing a course of evening instruc- tion that includes within its scope som thing more than the studies in the ordinary English branches. It is the aim of the as- soclation to extend the work so as to in- clude instruetion in sociological, industrial and scientific branches, Starting with this idea in view, a few years ago the department organized classes in several associations in free hand, me- chanical and architectural drawing and in- dustrial designing, leading toward such tech- nical lines as machine construction, boiler making, carriage draughting, wood and metal working, civil. mechanical, architectural and electrical engineering, etc. Classes in these branches have been established in Spring- fleld and Dayton, O.; Brooklyn, N. Y.; Hart- ford, Conn.;New York City and Chicago. | The work is all done in evening classes, the ages of the puplls averaging 23| years, A large percentage of the scien- | tiflo classes is made up of clerks, showing that the natural tendency of the young men | ©of the country is to seek an entrance into | the more practical as well as more profit- able vocations of life. Mr. Hodges is seeking to interest the Omaha asscciation in the work, and it is probable that classes in some of the branches of the sclentific course will be formed at once. The work of the classes in other assoclations is shown in detail. Those who may believe that such form of instruction must necessa- rily be of a superficial character should go to the Young Men's Christian association rooms and be convinced to the contrary. The asso- ciations in other cities employ able instruct- ors, generally selecting them from the fac- tories near at hand. Thus the instructor in machine construction will be the foreman of an establishment where machiyery is con- structed. Practical architects give instruc- tion in architectural drawing, and so on through the entire course. Done in the Y. nss oK.

The jury in Judge BlaiMs court yesterday disposed of the celetirated Mary McKenna wiil by reversing: the opinion of ex- County Judge Eller and sustaining the will, thus admitting it to probate. Mary McKenna was ap old lady who died In this ity some two years ago, leaving all er property, something like $18,000 in value, to the Benson orphanage and St. Joseph's hospital. after the will was filed for probate, Attorney Baldwin appeared before the probate court, which at that time was over by J. 'W. Eller, and alleged that the document was secured by undue in fluence and that the woman was not of sound mind when she begueathed her prop- erty. He dug up some heirs, a lot of cousing who resided in Ireland, all of whom claimed the property. Baldwin went upon the wit- ness stand for the purpose of proving mental condition of the woman and also for the purpose of establishing the heirship. On the showing made, Eller set the wiil aside and the case went up to the district court In the trial which has just closed the find- ings of Eller were all overruled, the objec- tions of Attorneys Smyth and O'Connor, whe appeared for the orphanage and the hospital were sustained and the will declared to be a proper document to be admitted to probate.

Mr. I held the position of chief clerk for ne nine years in this city and for nearly four years at the military headquarters at St Paul, Minn,, but on account of ill health was relieved from the duties last June, as there appeared very poor prospects of his recovering his health for some time. Mr. Davis is a veteran of the late war, having served in the Army of the Potomac and later in the Seventh United States cavalry, on th: frontiers from which regiment he was trans- ferred to General Terry's headquarters at St. Paul. Chief Clerk Davis has served nearly twenty-four years in the regular army and about six years in the staff de- partments of the service. Rumored Suspension of Father English. The report is current In Omaha that Rev. John B. English hes been suspended by Bishop Bonacum of Lincoln. Father English was removed by the bishop from Hastings to David City about two months ago as a punishment for his action in pressing with other priests the charges of maladminist tion against Bishop Bonacum. The question of the bishop's right to remove him to an inferior parish was taken up to Mgr. Satolli, and decided in favor of the bishop Father English had furnished his home in Hastings largely with means provided by his: mother. According to the report the removal of the household articles to David City was the immediate cause of his sus- pension. arly e I Oregon Kidney Tea cures nervous heaa aches, Trial size, 25 cents.

MAIOR WHEELER'S RESOLUTION harter Amendment Over Until Next Meetir mmitteo Lays It ~Legistutive Just before adjournment of the charter amendment committee last night Major Wheeler introduced a resolution, which is on record as the most sen.ational feature of the attempts of the committee so far. It pro vided for the appointment by the chairman of a subcommittee to draft an amendment which would make the appointment by the governor of the members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners subject to the con- | Armation of the council Mr. Tukey announced that he was opposed | to the resolution from the start. This power | had been taken from the city council for a purpose, and that was to keep the board out of politics. The amendment contemplated by th's resolution would operate to again make the board a political organization. It a strange idea, In his opinfon, that the gov- ernor of the state should have to consult the city council of Omaha in making his ap pointments. He believed that to press this matter would be a grave mistake and might endanger the success of the entire work of the committee, Howell and Connell favored the resolution, and Winspear sided with Tukey. Colonel Chase asked that the resoiation be lald over until the next meeting. Mr. Dumont moved that it be laid on the table, but action was finally postponed by unanimous consent.

The regular business was not taken up, the remainder of the evening being devoted to a eneral discussion of the work already accom- plished, for the information of the visitors. Major Wheeler gave a detailed explanation of the plan of assessment proposed by the committee, and explained at length the abuses which it was designed to abolish. The question of the best method by which to secure legislation which would emable the city to compel the railronds to pay their legitimate proportion of the cost of fire and police protection and other advantages with which the city was compelled to provide them was discussed. It was the unanimous entiment of the committee that some action in this direction would be advisable, and the matter was referred to Mr. Connell's commit- tee to report at a future meeting.

The Nebraska approves of this. Buy cheaply but be sure it is cheap. To know where to buy is an important item.

When you are through, give us your time for a minute; come in to the ever humble Nebraska. We hav'nt any moquette carpets, plate mirrors, neither eloquent and persvading salesmen, but honest overcoats to be sold honestly, and loads of ‘em to select from. We don't handle any so- called half price goods, but we can furnish vou an overcoat for TWO SEVENTY-FIVE of good chinchilla, Italian lined, warm and durable, that'll cost you g5.00 anywhere. A long, deep collar Melton Ulster, wool lined in two shades at FOUR DOLLARS for which other stores charge at least §7.00. Here are other coats and ulsters finer, finer still and the finest to be had. Can't possibly dream of a style or sort you can't get here at a good healthy saving on each one. From $2.00 up to $10.00 is what you save here.
