JOSES DRAGS HOUSE I Pays Patriok's Atterney Way Giv Confession, Joint MOORE AND OSBORNE NEARLY CLASH ant District Attorney Tells His e that He Doesn't Ca One lota What He Thinks NEW YORK, April 9.—A feature of the examination of Valet Jones in today's ses- slon of the hearing concerning the death of Willlam Marsh Rice, the Texas million aire, was a line of questioning which led to a lLeated scene at the noon recess be tween Attorney Moore, who represents Law yer Patrick, and Assistant District Attor- ney Osborne. The cause of the borne's sgccess in Joues certain testimony Frederick House is one of Patrick's law- yers. Previous to Jones' turning '8 evidence Mr. House represented he valet also. By a ruling of the court Mr. Os borne was allowed to ask the witness what he and Patrick had told their lawyer at the first interview in the Tombs. Jones re- plied that 1t was a complete confession of murder, differing not at all from his story at the bearing. During all the long cros examination of Jones, which ended only an hour before recess, Mr. Moore made it ap- parent that his sledgehammer questions were all directed at one point. He sought to show that Jones' story was concocted at the instigation of some of the men lnter ented in disproving the last Rice will. He | 1aid stress on Jones' conversation with | Captain Baker. The cross-examination was tull of insinuations and recriminations | against | Mr. Osborne and Mr. Battle, | the latter Jones' special counsel | Hard Blow for When at last Mr. Moore through with the witness, on the rebuttal leaned and asked quietly: “Jones, to whom did you first tell the story of your having chloroformed Mr. Rice? I mean the story | you told here?’ | “To Mr. House,” was the reply The question apparently was a surprise. Mr. House flushed and looked hard at the table. Patrick tugged at his beard and Mr. Moore sprang to his feet | “We object to that question,’ shouted. “We have some rights in this court. Anything the witness said to his council involves the prisoner. It is a pro fessional confidence which must not be re- | vealad But Justice Jerome only said: “Objection overruled,” and Jones then described length his first interview with Mr. House in the Tombs counsel room. On Patrick's advtce he had told the truth, he said. “I told Mr. House that 1 murdered Mr. Rice,”” sald Jones. “I told him that I gave him mercury pills, where I got the chloro- form and all about it.” “Did you tell him about the oxalic ‘Yes.” “Aud what did Mr. House say?" What House Told Patrick. “He told Patrick it would not do for him to put all the blame on me, for he was as much in it as I was." Mr. Osborne brought out the fact that the interview with House covered several days before the district attorney had the faintest Idea the prisoner would make a confession. “What did Patrick say to Mr. House?" Mr. Osborme asked. Why, he explained that we had put Mr. i Ceev Sevue 4vame, BAIG JULED. Court then adjourned until 2 o'clock. A few minutes later Justice Jerome went out and the court room was cleared of every one save lawyers and reporters. Mr. Os- borne arose from his side of the table and started for the door. Mr. Moore met him at a corner of the table. r.

It was not right.” dispute was Mr. O wringing from Valet against Patrick nwe, wald: “Wo are Mr. Osborne k in his chair he In Tit for Tat. The district attorney's face was crimson fu a minute. “I only did it,” he said, “be- cause of your insinuations that we con- cocted Jones' story. You have cast refloc- tious upon Captain Baker. He is my friend. I guard his reputation as zealously as I do my own." At the mention of his name Captain Baker stepped forward and stood at Mr. Osborne's elbow, “You have mnot strengthened your case — The first brewery of Jos. Schlitz was a hut, but the beer that was brewed there was honest. That was fifty years ago. Today the mag- nificent Schlitz brewery forms a monument to that honesty. From the very beginning the main object has been to " attain absolute purity. In Schlitz beer pure yeast was first introduced in America, In the Schlitz brewery are all the inventions men have made for protecting beer from impurities. Schlitz beer is even cooled in filtered air; then it is fil- tered, then sterilized. It is well aged to avoid the cause of biliousness.

Attorney two Julius & Cooley appeared before Judge Crawford in police court yesterday morning charged with vagrancy. The arrest of Cooley followed a complaint made by August Gadeken to the police Monday after noon. Gadeken is a baker employed by the Wieland Baking company. Monday Ing an altercation arose between Gadeken and one of his fellow-workmen, and he rather severely dealt with Gadeken went to the police station to re- port the matter. He alleges that in the corridor he cncountered Cooley. “I told him of the trouble,” Gadeken asserts, “and he advised me to turn the case to him. ‘It will be impossible, he told me, ‘to secure justice In this court, but I will take it to a higher bar of justice.” He told me his fee would be $5 and gave me to derstand that no other expense would be necessary. | gave him all the money 1 ha $4.75, and went Justice Baldwin's morn- was we to OMAHA JAPAY WAR ONLY DELAYED| German Editor Thinke Manohnrian Agres- ment Doesn't Assure Peace.

BERLIN, April 9.—The latest phase of the Mauchurian question is very differently Judged by different sections of the German press, The Freissinnige Zeituog, Herr Richter's organ, says “or the moment the situation is eased and the conclusion of peace is hastemed; but, so far as the future is concerned, the eituation is rendered more complicated, for | as soon ns the allied forces are withdrawn the superiority of Russia will be- come overwhelming for China, who will probably then grant Ruseia better terms than now, when she is upheld by the all.es betw Russia and Japan red, thelr confiicting Interests ding North China, and it is probable that war will break out between them soon after peace with China 18 signed The Vossische Zeltung, which sces a Rus- | stan diplomatic defeat in Russia’s abandon- ment of the Manchurian convention, says | It must bave been hard for Count Lams- | dorft to instruct the Russian ambassadors to that effect, especially since Russia had trom the start followed the policy of ren- ering a diplomatic settlemefit in Pekin dificult as possible and of doing every- military court.

Open hostilities have not broken out, but the beginning is expected within a few days on the part of the bullders, unless the man who holds the string to the clouds shuts off the sprinkler. Over in lowa several contractors have es- tablished their camps and are prepared to enter upon large grading contracts in the Burlington's improvement work, but the mud is so deep that work is out of the question In Colorado and Wyoming, where much work is iu prospect, the storms which were a minus quantity during the winter months seem to be coming in earnest and the con- teactors don't dare start in for the sum- mer's work. In consequence of this unexpected delay many men are now out of employment who bhave engaged for the railroad work. It is sald by several employment agents that there are few men who would e idle in down #o the railroad work could begin, Many had made arrangements to start in about this time, and the men have been gathering for the start, but must wait for the weather man to quit shedding tears, GOES TO SIGN NEW CATCHER Preaident Rourke M to Chicago to S of Crack kea n Hasty Trip care Servi Inyer. President Rourke of the Omaha base ball club left hot-foo for Chicago Monday night. A teleg eived Monday afternoon oc- casioned als hasty departure, and it is stated on authority that may be considered reliable that “Papa” Bill will bolster up his team in its only weak spot by signing another catcher. Buckley, an old big leaguer who played with the Chicago White Steckings last year, is the man Rourke is after, and in all prob- ability he will land him. While in Chicago President Rourke will keep his eye out for men in case he can get the players he wants. The Cmaha team will leave for Lincoln this morning to play the university boys a series of three games. Captaln Stewart has put the boys through at a lively clip in thelr practice work this week. The defeat administered them Sunday by the Originals has gingered the whole team up consider- ably, and every man is rapidly getting futo good form now. DEATH RECORD. Ploneer Lemars Merchant.

The new council then ad- journed. ndyAnecial_call was at once issued by siderablo business was transacted. While Mayor Kelly was around and about Presi- dent Adkins occupied the chair during both sessions. Dworak as chairman of the judi- clary committee reported favorably on the ordinance dividing the wards and also on the one fixing the salaries of the city em- ployes. Going through the regular process both of these ordinances were passed, and it is expected that the mayor will attach his signature to them today. | Under a similar method of procedure or- dinances were passed creating the offices of deputy city treasurer and deputy city clerk. These will be signed today. There Is some complaint about the man- uer in which the wards have beed divided, but it is expected that the mayor will sign the ordinances at once in order that he may be able to name two councilmen from the Fifth and Sixth wards. The salary list of the ordinance as passed is as follows Mayor, $1,600; city treasurer, $2.000; dep. | uty ‘treasurer,” $1,000; police Judge, $1,000; city clerk, $1,200; deputy ecity clerk, $#00; c! attorney, $1,600; assistant city attorney, 9 englineer, $1,200; tax commissioner, ouncllman, $600; chief of po- i each officer under the rank ot $% ‘per month; patrolmen, $M per chief of fire ‘department, $1,200 a each officer under the rank of chief, 0 per month; firemen will be pald $70 4 month. When the council adjourned until to- night it was thought that possibly Mayor Kelly might make appointments to fill the places in the Fifth and Sixth wards. It is more than probable that no ap- pointments will be made tonight. Mayor Kelly in conversation last evening sald that he had not serlously considered the matter, and tLat when the ordinance had been signed he would take up the problem. As the mayor is absolutely non-committal on the subject there is no use to speculate on the new members. He did say, however, last night that he would not appoint any person unless he was aatisfied that the council would confirm the appointment h Tax Commissioner Fitsgera As soon as J. J. Fitzgerald, the recently elected tax commissioner, files his hond he will assume the duties of his ofice. The bond is in the sum of $10,000 and must be given in some surety company. In this case the city will pay the premium on the bond. Mr. Fitzgerald said yesterday that he would proceed at once to arrange his bond and that as soon as the city furnished bim with an office and books he would com- mence making the assessment for the city Just where his office will be located has not yet been determined.
