RANAIA TWELVE PAGES, MORRIS REMAINS IN JAIL Book Agent and Book Thief the Cause of a Singular Mixture, PARDONING POWER OF MAYOR IN QUZSTION Jaller of the County Refuses to Honor n Releaso Tssued by the Mayor—The Case Goes Into Court and fe- comes a Perplexing Questd . Mayor Bemls, Book Agent Morris, County Jailer Miller and Lawyer Lobinger are all mixed up over a fine point in the construction of the statutes. Each of the parties occuples & different position. The mayor is in a study, Miiler Is obstinate, Lobinger is in a sweat, Morris is in jail, the court is in doubt and the end is not yet. 1t appears that A. L. Morris, an agent for a law book firm, has been working in the city for some time and was arrested a few days dgo on the charge of having stolen a law book from Attorney Elgutter and an- other from Attorney Tunnicliffe. He was arrested, convicted in pol'ce court and sen- tenced to'pay a fine of $25 and serve a term of six days in_the county Jjail. Attorney Lobinger was called into the case and Thursday secured an order from Mayor Bemis remitting the fine and ordering the release of Mr. Morris. With the mayor's order in his inside' pocket Attorney Lobinger went joyously up to the county jail at the supper hour that evening and asked an audi- ence with “Jailer Miller. That functionary was at the supper table. Lobinger wanted his client released at once and asked the turnkey to call Miller from his meal. The turnkey knows Miller pretty well, and he declined, suggesting that Lobinger might g0 and call out the jailer it Mo wished to stand the conse- quences, In the course of time Miller fin- ished his repast, and found the attorney walting for him with an order for Morris’ release. Miller refused to acknowledge the order. Lobinger was indignant in a minute. He went on the theory that the mayor's or- der was law in such cases, and demanded the immediate release of the prisoner. Millex again refused. Lobinger then tried to run a bluff, and was called. He threatened to have Miller fired, and was fired himself. There was very little - ceremony about the matter. The big door swung open and let a lawyer out into the chilly night air very suddenly. Early yesterday Mr. Lobinger was on hand seekiog an order from the court for Morris' release. Judge Keysor was not very busy, and agreed to hear the case stated informally. Jailer Miller stated that he had always accepted the mayor's orders and would continue to do so for the release oi prisoners who had been convicted of viola- tions of city ordinances, but that he would refuse until ordered by the court o release prisoners convicted of offenses under the state law. Mr. Lobinger urged that the statute gave the mayor the authority exercised in the case in question. Judge Keysor examined the law and the ordinances and stated that there could be no question of the mayor's authority to remit fines and sentences im- posed for violations of the city ordinances, The statute provided that the mayor should have certain powers of pardon, but held that the council must provide the manner in which the authority should be exercised. The council had done this in the matter of viola- tions of the ordinances, but had not done so with regard to other offenses. Under the circumstances Judge Keysor sald he would decline to state that the mayor had the authority to order {the releas> of Morris, al- though a liberal interpretation of the stat- utes might give such authority. - Mr. Lobinger tried to induce the judge to say that in case Miller released the prisoner any blame in the matter would attach to the mayor and not to the jailer. Judge Keysor could not see how a wrong order of the mayor would protect Miller, and refus:d to sanction such contention. Mr. Lobinger will attempt to secure the release of his man on habeas corpus proceeding Those Church Troubles Agaln. There promises to be another lively round In the troubles’at law that envelop the af- fairs of the St. Paul Polish Catholic church. Soon after the affairs of the church were tangled up in an injunct'on proceeding that was commenced before Judge Scott and then transferred to Judge Ferguson's docket, At- torney Minnahan commenced a suit in éject- ment before Justice Cockrell to get posses- slon of part of the property. Knowledge of the action came to Judge Scott and he served personal notice upon the justice to the effect that any attempt to try the case would bring the justice into contempt of the district court for trying a case which was pending under injunction proceedings. The case is set for hearing before Justice Cockrell today, and he does not want to try the matter a lit- tle bit. He has so expressed himself to At- torney Minnahan, and that gentleman pro- potes to have the case go on, contempt or no contempt. It is announced that Mr. Minnahan will ask one of the district court judges to grant A mandamus, compelling Cockrell to proceed with the trial of the case. If this is done Cockrell his the assurance that he will be called before the criminal court on contempt proceedings. The justice is naturally in something of a pickle over the situation and 1s waiting to seo what evils the day will bring forth. Minor Legal Matters, The Ramacciott! will case will not be fin- fshed in Judge Ambrose's court before the middle of next week. Benediet against the T L V Land and Cattle company is still on trial before a Jury .in Judge Blair's court. The jury in the case of Baldwin against Swartziander returned a verdict for the de- fense in Judge Hopewell's court, Judge Keyson went through his call yes- terday and did not get a case for trial. ~He will go to Blair today to hold court. Sam Payne will be sentenced by Judge Scott this morning. Some other prisoners will be sentenced, and then the work of the criminal bench will be completed for the term. A new jury will be called for duty Mon- day. From present indications there will be need for but a small part of the nanel, as the trial dockets have been pretty well cleaned up. No action has yet been taken in the habeas corpus case commenced by L. Griffiths for the possession of his biby, Mary, who he alleges is being unlawfully held by Mrs. Amanda St. John. The child s still in pos- sesslon of friends of Mrs. St. John at Cor- rectionville, Ia. Judge Scott made short work of the case of the state against Mrs, Laura Fiant yester- day afternoon. The woman was charged with having deserted her husband and lived in adultery with a friend of the family. Be- fore the trial of the case was commenced Judge Scott had a talk with the woman and learned that she had been true to her hus- band until compelled by him to accept the attentions of other men for money. Then she left husband. Judge Scott satisfied himself that the woman's statements were trug, and then dismizsed the case, stating that the husband was the party who should be on trial. B Dr. Durland Found Gailty. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.—Dr. John H. Durland, president of the Provident Bond and Investment company, was today found gullty on the charge of using the mails to further a scheme to defraud, The case was given 1o the jury late yesterday afternoon and a sealed verdict was handed in by the jury at 8:30. this morning. - Durland's counsel moved for & new trial, and Judge Butler will hear wrguments. on the motion December 17, g Ridany Shot the Boy for Guylng Him.

Insurance Company Digs Up a Man Whom They Clnim Swindlod Them. TUCSON, Ariz, Dec. 7.—Among the Hua- chucas mountains at Salvation Army camp, about forty miles from Tucson, a man was arrested for whom the authorities have been looking for years. He is John W. Hillman, and the capture was made by Sam W. Fin- ley, a deputy collector of customs at Nogales, and Orren Gemmill, under sherift of La Junta. His capture recalls one of the most remarkable in the annals of In 1878 Hillman and two companions, one of them resembling him very closely, took a trip into the Buffalo mountains of Texas to hunt. They were gone several weeks and when Hill- man and one companion returned the man bearing so striking a resemblance to him had | failed to accompany them. It that | ff Hillman, who carrled an insurance on his | fF life of $80,000, while in the mountains con- | ‘* celved a murderous scheme and killed in cold | blood the man who so closely resembledy him and returned (o the settlement. He took | the name of the man whom he had murdered | and said that Hillman had been accidentally | shot dead and burled in the mountains, In | due time Mrs. Hillman made claim to the | life insurance companies in which her hus- band had been insured for $80,000. The in- | be surance people became suspicious and began | Ca an Investigation. The remains of the man |10 whom Hillman had murdered were exhumed | W and it was then discovered that they were not | the remains of Hillman. Mrs. Hillman insti- | tuted legal proceedings in Topeka, Kan., her home, to recover the amount of Insurance. The case was carried from one court to an- other until finally she secured judgment for | her principal, Interest and attorneys' fees in | the supreme court of the United States. Ac- cording to the order of the court the judg- ment must be satisfied at the end of the year. During all this time the insurance companies have kept detectives on the trail of Hillman, who disappearcd shortly after his wife made claim, to insurance. He was followed to Australia and other foreign coun- tries and a reward of $15,000 was offered for his apprehension, dead or alive. On the 4th of last month Under Sherift Gemmill ar- rived in this territory from Colorado and in- terested Finley in the case. Gemmill hay- ing learned that Hillman was in.Sonoro, he and Finley took the murderer’s trail at Mag- delen, Sonora, and followed him to Altara, Sonora, thence to Prescott, Ariz,, Mexico City, 01d Glory camp and then to Salvation Army camp in the Huachucas mountains, where he was arrested. Hillman denfed that he was the right man when told by the officers what they wanted him for. He was taken to Tombstone, where he is held pending the arrival of extradition papers from Kansas. THINK IT A MISTAKE. TOPEKA, Dec. 7.—The story of the capture of the real Hiliman in Arizona is not re- ceived in Topeka with much credence by any one. Assistant State Insurance Commis- sioner Taylor said: “Hillman js dead. He has been for sixteen years.” “Do you believe the man killed at Medi- cine Lodge was Hillman?" 0t course 1 do, and the Insurance com- panies are simply {rying to defraud his wife out of the $25,000 life insurance. Mrs. Hill- man has a square claim that ought to have been pald a dozen years ago.” What do you think fs the object of find- ing Hillman at this time?"” “I suppose they will hope to get the case which is set next month' continued again E. F. Ware, one of the attorneys for the Insurance companies, was reluctant about say- ing anything. In regard to the story tele- graphed today from Arizona Mr. Ware gave the following Information: “No continuance will be asked by the companies. We have received numerous messages from Arizona by parties claiming, to. have arrested Hillman These telegrams are indefinite and unsatis- factory and the chances are against the cap- ture of the real Hillman.” FRANKLIN, Ky., Dec. 7.—The news to the effect that J. W. Hillman, who was supposed to be kiled sixteen years ago in Kansas and under mysterious circumstances, after taking out a heavy insurance on his lite, had been arrested in Arizona, in con- nection with telegrams received here last night, created considerable excitément, Lynn Boyd Herndon is the man arrested in Ari- zona for this crime. He formerly lived here and is extensively connected in this section. About seventeen years ago, together with his father's family, he moved to Kansas. How long he lived in that state is not known to his relatived here, but it is sald he has roamed the country for several years. Last night he poured telegrams in to his Kiusmen at this place, telling of his arrest at Tombstone, Ariz., charged with having defrauded an-Insurance company of a large sum, and probably with the murder of the supposed Hillman at Valley Falls, Kan., in 1878, The felegrams were urgenf and the relatives of Herndon here are solicitous about his situation, so much o in fact that Dr. J. A. Neal, a relative of his, left for Tombstone today to identify Herndon and help him out of his trouble. It is thought Herndon is accused by a peculiar chain of circumstances, but his relatives here, from what they know of the case, do mot be- lieve him guilty. e What Spreckels Pought with the Money. SAN FRANCISCO, Déc. 7.—Claus Spreckels drew a check for $1,500,000 on the Nevada bank a few days ago, and it is now said that the money was in completion of a large land deal. This included the purchase of 40,000 acres, on wWhich is located the Chino sugar factory. The deal was engl- neered by C. H. Phillips of San Luls Obispo, and is sald to be the largest real estate transaction in the history of southern Cali- fornia. The transter included the townsite of Chino, the Chino Valley railway, a narrow guage road ten miles long, the water system and the contract with the Chino Valley Beet Sugar company. mi |a | st ca crime. | fin fle th st seams at Ial W m m fre cl st mi b ar el W ti th he th m n Hi m m m fid m in H H Pl st ot! the m mi to ful ral la: fre in rel pu n a nu it w of at fa Py MeQuald Exonerates the Archbishops. ROCHESTER, Dec. 7.—Bishop McQuad has given out a statement exonerating the archbishops of San Francisco and Portland, Ore., of the part which it was alleged they played In defeating him for the regency. It is positive, says Eishop McQuaid, that neither they nor any one of their suffragan bishops wrote to republican members of the New York legislature in favor of the election of Rev.

Nor have they at any time meddled in the-politics of this state. ~Some- body must have used the names of “high dignitaries” without authority or warrant. e Western ny Appeal SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.—The Western Union Telegraph company has appealed from the decision of the United States court for the southern district of - California in the case of the Western Union Telegraph com- pany against the Postal Telegraph company. The suit was decided in favor of the Postal in the lower court. It involves the construc- tion act of congress, by which the Atlantic & Pacific railway recelved its franchises. The railway tried to -grant its exclusive rights to the Western Unlon, but the court held that the Postal has equal rights. R it Paylog Teller Talt Arrested. NEW YORK, Dee. 7.—John R.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Dic. 7.—The local managers of the Pacific Express company say that It Is impossible to say just how much the robbers who held up the Texas & Pacific traln, west of here last night, got away with, as all the way bills are missing. They got very little booty, however, as it was mostly local express matter. The contents of the iron through package box arrived here intact. A shepiff's of fifteen posse ! 1 by Deputy W d Police | men, led by Deputy William Rea and Police | et P BREE REL C Chief Maddox, have been out with a pack of bloodhounds since last night, and word re- ceived from them fis to the effect that the posse is on a hot trail following the three robbers, who are well mounted and armed and are traveling southwestwardly. The gafe which the robbers looted was th» same opened in the Gordon robbery a short time ago. Messenger McEwan, at the express com- pany’s ofice last night said: “It was dark when I heard a loud notse at the front door of the express car. The door gave way and Engineer Baker and his fireman were stand ing there. They had picks in their hands, and had broken in the door. Just behind were two men, masked, I think, one small, the other large. Both had Winchesters in their hands, covering me. I was not pre- pared for an attack, and could do nothing. They forced the engineer and fireman tc proceed into my car. They helped thems selves. 1 did not dream of trouble until the door was broken and I found myself covered with two Winchesters. The best information places the amount of booty secured by the rabbers at $40,000. The officers engaged in the pursuit are con- fident the desperadoes are members of the Cook gang, and that they are making for the Indian Territory. A detachment of stat: rangers has started from Quanah to cut off retreat in the direction mentioned. The report sent out last night that gcld in transit to pay for government bonds had been secured by the train robbers is denfed by the express officials. The only money secured by them was in the local safe, which was unlocked when thepy entered the ex- press car. The through safe, which was locked by a time l:ck, was not opened by the robbers. ol palis WERE DIGGING OUT DYNAMITE, Six Workmen Badly Injared’ and Four Will Probably Dié BOSTON, Dec. 7.—This ‘afterhoon while at work excavating near Eimhfll avenue and Seavoy street six men were badly injured by an explosion of dynamite, ‘During the morn- ing a train of dynamite cartridges had been fixed for blasting rocks.

BEATS PONCE DELEON'S PLA Madame Yale's Schems for Keeping Women in Bloom Until Pust Forty, TELLS OMAHA WONEN ABOUT IT No Mythleal Fountain to Go to but Simple Means Within the Reach of Ali— Cnre of the Face and Form a Religious Duty, Any man will tell you that a woman will walk a mile any hour of the day to hear of something which will add to her g remarkable that nearly every seat in Boyd's opera house held a feminine burden yesterday afternoon whe Yale delivered her lecture on “‘Beauty Culture.” There were all sorts of wor In the audience, who represented every grade of society. Many women of social promi nence were attracted by Mme. Yale's reputa- tion, and came to see whether a woman of 42 could really look like a girl of half that age. They were obliged to admit that it was within the possibilities, for while the speaker freely admitted that she was on the shady side of 40, from the vantage of the parquet circle she could casily have been | taken for a radiant young woman of 2 The lecture was simply a practical talk with regard to physical culture, and the pos- sibilities which 1t afforded for enhancing the charms of face and figure and preserving the daintily rounded outlines of youth past the milestone of middle age. Although the sug- gestions were accompanfed by liberal recom- mendations of the preparations of which the speaker is the proprietor, they Included much that was in the nature af sensible and whole some advice. In beginning Mme. Yale said that physical culutre was one of the fine arts, and should be considered one of the most important branches of education. There was no reason why a woman should not hold her beauty until long past middle age, but nevertheless the majority of women became faded and worn, The flesh could be kept just as firm and the eyes just as bright in middle age as in girlhood, if a person would only live correctly. There was no limit to the culture of beauty. The only requirements were good health and obedience to nature's laws. Every part of the body was for a purpose, and it should be regulated and kept in the same condition as it was given by the Creator. It was a sin to allow the body that God had given to_become corrupt and unwholesome. The suggestions of the speaker in regard to the care of the health were divided as she considered the welfare of each part in order. The most important requisite to beauty was a pure complexion. First, Mme. Yale alluded to the bath as a primary neces- sity if the skin was to be kept soft and smooth and free from blemishes. A warm bath at night, with a cold douche by way of refreshment in the morning, and followed by a brisk rubbing, which set the skin aglow with the increased circulation, were always necessary. The pores of the skin should be kept open, as many of the blemishes which sometimes appeared were caused by the decay of waste matter that had been allowed to gather under the skin. Every part of the body should be cared for just as religiously as the fage, for if this was not done the im- purities In the system would break out through the face and thus cause a blemish in. the very spot where it was most desirable that the skin should be clear and attractive. ““The speaker antagonized the old expres- sion that beauty was only skin deep. In her opinion it was soul, deep, and the dis- position had much to do with the preservation of the beauty of girlhood. To be really beayt ful every quality that tended towards a peiect womanhood should be cultivated. A wonman should always be prettier at 40 than at 20. It was too often the case that when a woman reached 25 and was still un- married she began to become a little fright- ened. And when she was 30 she was really scared for fear that she was beginning to get old. When a married woman was 35 she began to grow jealous of her husband. She began to notice that he did not treat her just as he used to. He was fonder of the Society of younger women, and she grew to worry herseif to death because her beauty was losing its charm and her husband was becoming tired of her. There was nothing that made a woman grow old so fast as jealousy. There was no reason why she should not live in a manner that would pre- serve her beauty unimpaired and make her as attractive in the eyes of her husband when she was 40 as she was when he led her to tho altar, The latter portion of the lecture was de- voted to methods of physical culture, and the speaker exchanged her evening costume for pink tights which showed the perfect outlines of her figure, which she asserted had been induced through the exercises which she recommended. She illustrated various simple methods of developing the neck, arms, bust and limbs, and accompanied this by some additional advice. She ob- jected most strenously to the use of corsets in any form as detrimental to health and beauty. The woman who wished to preserve her charms should forsake the corset for- ever and wear clothing that would not in- terfere with the free circulation in any part, She must never use a pillow in sleeping, and massage treatment in connection with the other exercises was urgently advised. e NATIONAL BANK ROBBERY.
