T MRS. MABRAY UNDER ARREST Denies that Bhe Threw Acid i Miss Mawd Haneon, SAYS THE CHARGE IS UNWARRANTID Vietim Says the Woman Who Threw Poisen Introduced Hersclf an M y=Arrest Made at Craw- ford Wednesday. Mre, Mollle Mabrey denies that she threw acid in the face of Maud Hanson She says she does not kunow Miss Hanson, never saw her and the firet she knew that acld h She admits she was In Omaha on the day | the acid was thrown, but denfes all direct knowledge of the incident. She denies, also, | that she kmows the woman in Kansas City | who signed the name “Leta” to a telegram sent to her In care of the police on the day of the assault 8be has 1o grievance against Miss Han- #on, she says, and can't imagine who It could have been who threw vitrol in her fa Mre. Mabray made the foregoing state- nents to The Bee's special correspondent at Crawford, Neb, Weduesday, shortly after her arrest by the town marshal. S8he will be held there to await the arrival of a dep- uty sWeriff, who started for that point last night to bring her back to Omaha. Mrs. Mabray said: "r “I was mever so suprprisad in my life ae when I saw by the papers that I was ae- cused of throwing the acld. Of course the charge 1s ridiculous. 1 have been living with my husband at 606 East Fourteenth street, Kani Clty, untll about three wecke ago, when he went to Omaha to find a new loca- tion, leaving me suffering with appendi- citis, Last week he sent me money so that 1 could join him in Omaba and I went there, arriving Thursday morning, September 12. That, I belleve, is the day the acld was thrown. 1 only remained in Omaha a few hours, rs 1 wanted to come here to Craw- ford, where | own property. On the way I stopped at Orchard te visit my father. 1 don't know anything about any telegram from Kansas City, and don't know who ‘Leta’ fo. 1 never had a trunk in Omaha ahd have never been in Valley. While in Omaha I stopped at the Paxton hotel and never left It except to go to the depot. Mrs. Mabray was arrested at Crawford Wednesday by the marshal, who is one of her tenants. She was not placed in jail At her request she was permitted to re- main at the home of a friend where she had been stopping since last Monday, the day of her arrival, but was kept under strict survellance. When the marshal av- rested her she sald she was just getting ready to go to Omaha to prosecute the newspapers for publishing libelous state- ments about her. Mrs. Mabray live@ at Crawford with her husband untll about two years ago, when they went away together. She bas always borne & good reputation there. The people of Crawford are much surprised to see her name assoclated with the affair. New Elementa in the Cane, The police of Omaha have discovered within the last few days that at least a part of the foregoing statement by Mrs. Mabray is true. She was not in Valley, nor did she have a trunk in Omaha, At one time they thought they had located in Valley. Bherift Power went there to ar- rest her, but found that no woman answer- ing her description had been there. A detective who has been working on the 0 says: It what Mrs. Mabray says i true a new element s added to this affalr and it has become wonderfully complicated. There is & character in It whose Identity is un- own. If Mrs. Mabray didn’t throw the acld, who did? Can it be that there was A third woman Interested in John Mabray? Maud Hanson, the victim, admits that she doesn’t know Mrs. Mabray, so it may bo she simply jumped at the conclusion that Mrs. Mabray was her assallant, being un- able to think of anyone else who would have & motive to assault her. If, when Mrs. Mabray gets here, we are convinced of the truth of her story, we will have to look somewhere else for the acid thrower.'" hown the telegram from After reading it she led that the woman who saulted me last Thursday was Mrs. Mollie Mabray. She called here Mahray's Statement. Miss Hanson wi Crawford rself as Mrs. Mabray. When I came into the room she sald: ‘I am Mrs. Mabray and 1 want to know what you are doing with Mr. Mabiray's photograph on your mantel.' Then she went away and came back again in about an hour with the acid, which she dashed in my face.” —_—— Want New Name for Church.

Not only has Mr. Pitou put bright, sparkling lines and felicitous dialogue into his play, but he has done it in such a way as to Allow Mr. Olcott an opportunity to imbue it with much of his own happy spirit and per- sonality. He is given a half dozen chances to interpolate pretty Irish ballads for the singing of which he is justly famous and of which his many admirers never seem to tire. This season his splendid tenor volce is heard In several uew songs, besides the ever popular “Wild Irish Ros To each the exceptionnlly large audience which greeted his return Wednesday- night at the Boyd theater forced him to respond to from one to three encores. The fact that Mr. Olcott! both of which were given Wednesday, was & disappointment to many who were keot away from the theater by the Ak-Sar-Ben testivities. His company this season is one of the best which has ever supported him, and the production was in keeplng with the good taste always displayed by him in putting on the different plays in which he has been seen here in former vears, OF FALLING HAIR.

The national convention will be held at Loutsville, Ky., April 2, 1902, The conference adjourned at 1:15 a. m., to meet again at 10 a. m. for memorial services. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 18.—The dele- gates representing seven political parties of reform, who came here for the “Allied Third Party’ conference, held their first joint session tonight, after two days of separate conference meetings behind closed doors. All of the preliminary work of launching the new political party, which is to be a union of all reform parties, was done by the conference committees of the several delegations before the dele- gates met in joint session tonight. It was decided that the new party is to be called the “Allled” party and a platform was agreed upon by the conference committees, which demands the initiative and referen- dum and public ownership of public util- itles; declares against land speculation and allen ownership: favors sclentific money, based upon the entire wealth of the peopie of the nation, and not redeemable in any specific commodity, but to be full legal ten- der for all debts, to be issued by the gov- ernment only without the intervention of banks, in sufficlent quantity to meet the requirements of commerce; demands just and natural taxation and the election of president, vice president, federal judges and serators by direct vote; favors the creation of a department of labor and equitable arbitration; favors the establish- ment of postal savings banks and favors such constitutional amendments as may be necessary to make the above laws. Parpose and Plahs. The purpose of the joint session tonight was to decide upon the time and place to hold the convention which will meet to ratity the actions of this conference and perfect the permanent organization of the new party. The conference was called to order to- night by J. H. Cook of Carthage, Mo., who spoke in part as follows: It must be appareni to all intelligent, thinking men that we are now confrontec v conditions in government which are weli-nigh unbearable, and which will de- mand our most considerate and thoughtful attention If we would abolish exiating evils and restore the principles of free govern- ment as eatablished by the declaration of independence, the constitution of our coun- try and the sacred traditions of our fathers, The leaders of both the democratic :nd republican parties are hopelessly entangled in the web of centralized ~wealth and monopoly. while the rank and file are won- dering what they can do to be saved. The trusts and_combines have paraiized legitl: mate enterprise and renedered it almost impossible for the man withgut millions to conduct business with any degree of suc- cess. Tt Is admitted on all sides that this ~on- ditfon of affalrs has been brought about largely by the subserviency of the two old iftical partics fo the beneficiaries of com- ined wealth and monopolies. After two of the most courageous and masterly struggles ever recorded in polit- fcal history the champlon of the people's rights went down in defeat, made posaiblo only by the combined hosts of evil. includ- ing the eastern wing of the old democratic arty that has been ever ready to sell iis Birthright for a mess of poitage and re- pudiate every principle of democracy, new and old. With these forces and false pre- tences, coupled with bulldozing, terrorizing of labor and bribery, the rights of the people were overthrown. Flushed with 1il- otten victory the republican party has not csitated to violate every pledge made In its platform. It has established the gold standard, cornered the greenback currency. destroyed sflver, increased and perpetuata the national debt for the benefit of the na 1 bank: impudently o nd to restrain or abolish the vast combinations which have furnished i campalgn funds during the last two tional elections. Tt has {naugurated a of imperialism that has swept aside constitutional barriers and is rapidly bri ing our great republic to the level of effete_monarchies of the Old World, thus ishonoring us in the eyes of every nation, outraging cvery principle of justice. " op: ng and pauperiaing labor, alding and abetting _corporate power in its well directed efforts to restrain intelligent labor from successfal organization. Too Much for Bryan. Tt has become evident to all broadminded, honest and patriotic men that justice in behalf of the common people cannot be se cured to elther of the old politjcal partie: for the very obvious reason that the n. tional banks und trust elements own the leadership of both. It ts now generally be- lleved that no greater blessing can come to the masses of the common {nnpla than complete capture of both old party org: isations by the cohorts of greed and mo- nopoly. Even the great intellectual power and Individuality of Mr. Bryan are unequal to the task of ‘transforming the old dem- ocratic party into a party of the people, for the reason that its ieadership fs in- trenched In the camp and behind the breast- works of the money power, pretending to te democrats, when, in fact, 'they are galvan- ized republicans ' who, secretly and under cover, use thelr money and influence to folst the republican party into power. We belleve the time has come when the old democracy should be discarded and forced to remain in the camp of our enemies, where it hds pitched its tent and fought its batties during the last two campaigns. This can be done only by abandoning the name “‘democra! them and battls for the people’s cause under some other and better name. Dr. J. E. Chambers was elected temporary chairman of the convention, and he said: The polson germ ls the plutocratic mi- crobe that has marked the democratic party for death. We already have seen its vile uleers of putcification appear in Ohto, Penn- sylvania, Massachusetts and Maryland, and Missourt's two United States senators ap- ear to be contaminated by its influence ‘o the Bryan democrats of the nation | wish to say that what we have received in 8t. Louis at the hands of reorgantzers Is oniy what vou may expect throughout the nation. And the day and tie hour {s now upon us to step out of the democratic arty ‘and step into this movement which s in harmony with our principles. Give the old name of democraey and the old and enfeebled body which has outlived fts use- fulness, blind, ying upon 18 the mistakés and crime of a century —give that old carcass that is now reeking with filth to the Grover Cleveland reorgan- izers and allow them to take it and buey its politteal bones in”the potters’ fleld of ob- vion. ‘The temporary organizations wi permanent and a commi! of five consist- ing of one fuston popullst, two middle-of- the-road populists and two members of the public ownership party was appointed to prepare an address to the public outlining the principles and purposes of this reform movement.

Foster Lambert Files Appenis, City Attorney Lambert has returned from Lincoln where he appeared before the su- preme court and filed appeals in three tax cases,, In these cases the decision has beén against the city and it is the intention of the administration to put up the best ht it can. Every effort will be made, Mr Lambert says, to bave the decision of the lower courts reversed. This special tax ltigation has caused the city to lose a great deal of money and the idea of taking these cases to the supreme court is to s cure, It possible, a decision which will put a stop to the bringing of similar suits in improvement districts. In cases where the improvements have been made and the taxpayers contest the right to assess spe- clal taxes, the city has to pay the cost and this is deemed unfair. School Superintendent McLaln has gone on rec- ord as in favor of installing telephcnes in the school houses. He says that the school houses are so far apart that it takes a great deal of his time in traveling when it | could be put to a better purpcse. With telephones the superintendent would be in constant communication with all of the principals, teachers afid janitors in the citv. The committee on bulldings and grounds will advise with the management of the Nebraska Telephone company in connection with this matter. It is expected that the ‘phoies wH be installed as Superintendent McLain considers his time worth more than the cost of the telephones. Gas Stoves Ordered, The Omaha Gas company was directed yesterday to place two g stoves In the city offices in order to supply heat enough to enable -the clerks to work. So far the agents of the city hall bullding have made no effort to start the furnaces and it Is reported that as the boller is out of repair it will take a month to put the heating machinery in good shape. It is understood that the council wili deduct the cost of the gas bill and the price of the stoves used from the monthly rental bill That Question. Acting Mayor Adkins has investigated the statement that a number of saloons are run- ning without a license. Of the six re- ported to him he found two without a Ii- cenge. (pe of fhese has been pald in and a transter of the other license has been asked for. The otber four had licenses but the numbers and locations glven to the chief of police by Councilman August Mil- ler were wrong. There !s one transfer asked for and this will doubtless be granted, Acting Mayor Adkine bas done all that he can, he says, to abate these complaints, four of which were flled without any grounds whatever. Confidence Men Busy. Telephones. foen Several complaints have been made to the police lately that stockmen and strangers were belng confidenced out of their monev by sharpers who frequent the lower end of N street. (me or two arrests have been made by the police, but so far there Is a lack of convictions. The attention af Acting Mayor Adkins s to be called to these violations of the law and he will possibly put a stop to this kind of work. District Bonded Debt.
