(Continued Thursday.) ———— QUITE AS HOT A3 THE WEATHER lavestigation of Charge: Agalnst Shoo- maker Canses n War of Words. The Investigation of the charg filed against City Prosecutor W. S. Shoemaker by Attorney R. W. Richardson occupled the at- | tention of the committee on police of the city council yesterday afterncon. The sion was held in committee room A in the city hall and was chiefly remarkable for the wordy war between the two lawyers con- cerned. At one time the hostilities promised to end in a sanguinary affray and Chairman Burkley was obliged to inform the pugna- | clous contestants that the committee would not recognize abuse as argument. m a It was at this stage in the proceedings | that Shoemaker denounced some of the state- ments made by his opponent as untrue. At | this Richardson took offense and Shoemaker assured him that he was not “‘decent.”” This aroused Richardson's ire and he declared that he had stood Shoemaker's insolence as long as he could. If the committee would not protect him he was abundantly able to protect himself and if the insults were re- peated, somebody would get hurt. The gavel of the chairman restored order, but the conversation of the two lawyers during the remainder of the session was largely of the red fire order, In his communication to the city council, and which was offered in evidence, Mr, Richardson claimed that the prosecutor had purposely allowed Christ Rossen to evade punishment for selling liquor on Sunday, June. 16, at his saloon at Seventeenth street and St Mary's avenue. According to his written statement, as submitted to the com- mittee, the prosecutor had only filed the complaint under protest. He had had the case repeatedly continued and finally dis- missed, when the evidence was such that Ressen could have been convicted if the pros- tor had shown proper diligence in hand- ling the case. In reply to these charges Mr. Shoemaker submjtted a statement. ip which he claimed [ that Richardson's letter was composed only of his personal opinions and suspicions, which were not backed by a particle of proof. In addition to this he said that Richardson had come down to police court with a Mrs. Kemp to file a complaint against Rossen. He had refused to file a complaint until he had seen the witnesses and ascertained whether there was any chance to convict Rossen. Mrs, Kemp then said that a man whose place of business was next door to Rossen’s saloon would be a witness, He had gone out him- self to see this witness, but obtained no satisfaction. He finally consented to file the complaint, however, and the case was con- tinued to’ allow Mrs. Kemp to get three wit- nesses. When the case was tried two of these three witnesses were present. They swore that they had never been in the sa- loon mentioned and the case was conse- quently dismissed. The committee allowed hoth partles to the case to make further statements, but these were practically the same as had been sub- mitted in writing. Mr. Richardson said that he had no grudge against Shoemaker, but that the latter had told him that he was dis- posed to be liberal in his treatment of saloon keepers. Shoemaker had seemed to be very reluctant to prosecute the case and he con- sidered it his duty, as a citizen, to deter- mine whether it was the policy of the pres- ent administration to extend immunity to saloon men who violated the law. Shoemaker strenuously denied that he had been in any way delinquent. No evi- dence had ever been before him that had justified him in filing a complaint, but he had done so on Mr. Richardson's represen- tations. The witnesses In the case had given no material evidence against Rossen and he had finally dismissed the case, as he believed himself justified in doing. Mr. Richardson had several witnesses, the first of whom was Mrs. Kemp. She testi- fled that when she had asked Shoemaker to file a complaint against Rossen he told her that it was “all bosh.” Finally he had consented to go and see one of her witnesses, and on the way up he had-tried to induce her to-allow him to settle the case with the saloon keeper. They saw the witness, Mr. Curtin, who told Shosmaker that if Rossen was prosecuted, he could furnish abundant evidence to convict him. Shoemaker had re- plied that his evidence would not amount to anything, and asked if he could not induce Mrs. Kemp to settle with Rossen. D. S. Curtin was put on-the stand and de- |nied that he had ever claimed to know anything about the case. He had simply told Shoemaker that it he was put on the stand he would tell the truth, but what he knew was none of his business. He had not appeared as a witness at the trial, because Rossen had assured him that it he had to pay a fine on account of disobeying the sub- poena he would make it good to him. He did not want to appear against Rossen for fear that it would hurt his own business. }When the officer came after him with a capias he had simply stepped into a back room and his clerk had told the officer that he was out collecting. Mr. Richardson was sworn and repeated his previous statement, after which the com- mittee adjourned, —_—— TOUCH OF GOOD CORN WEATHER Weather Clerk Tarned on a Great Supply of Heat. Yesterday morning when the citizens of Omaha crawled out of their beds several of them made the . prediction that' this section of the country would experience some weather before night. In this pre- diction later developments proved that the weather prophets were correct, The sun was midway between the horizon and the zenith when the man at the weather wheel commenced to turn on the calorlc, For nearly six hours he kept right on turning the wheel, without once stopping to m p his brow, As he continued to work the mercury kept climbiog up the tube, until it reached 98 degrees above the zero point, Just then the man at the wheel loosened his grip and down the mercury went, a cool breeze spring ing up and making the evening hours com- tortable. From 10 o'clock In the morning until 3 in the afternoon suffering humanity had all that it could do to exist, the lemonade and the 30da water booths reaping the benefits. Peo- ple kept to the shady side of the street, the men wishing that a parasol and a palm' leat fan constituted the fashionable garb of the community. —— I ltke my wite to use Pozzonl's Complexion Powder, becauss It improves her looks and Is violets.

John Quinn’s next book will probably be en- titled “One Day In an Insane Asylum; or the Official Job I Didn’t Want. Mr. Quinn went to Lincoln the other morn- ing, armed with an appolntment as assistant engineer at the State Hospital for the Insane. He worked one day and came home with an experience. Instead of going to the high moguls, John sought to be chummy with the second engineer, with whom he had to work. He asked a lot of questions about the plant, which the engincer refused to answer, either from ignorance of churlishness. The second engineer took John's questions as an ad- mission of incompetency and told the au- thorities that Quinn “didn't know enough to oil the governor.” Then John was called up and usked if he had ever run an electric lighting plant, and truthfully told them he hed not. His stock fell 90 per cent at once, and he was offered a piace in the pumping station. As this would make the discharge of the present holder of that job a necessity, Quinn's union training prompted him to em- phatically refuse the offered place. That set- tled it, and he was sent to Omaha with the “‘regrets” of the officlals that he was not competent for the work required of him. Mr. Quinn is not grieving over the loss of his position, but he is out In earnest after the scalp of the second engineer, Robertson, who was instrumental in turning him down. Quinn has certificates of competency from I. H. Congdon, late superintenlent of motive power of. the Unfon Pacific, and J. H. Mc- Connell, the present head of that department, to the effect that he knows how to run dy- namos or anything else in mechanics, Mr. Quinu will go to Lincoln today, armed with his letters of recommendation and cer- tificates of competency, and will make a formal demand upon Governor Holcomb for Robertson’s scalp. ————— WEATHER FORECAST, Generally Fair with Light Winds Promised for Nebraskn.
