* ORANGEINE THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JANUARY 1902 HANNA MAKES HEAVY GAINS Adds Many Leading Feraker Men to His Renks FIGHT GROWS SHARP FOR SPEAKERSHIP Ohto Republicans Mix Up in Spirited Content Prelin the Final Battle Legislature, to COLUMR an. 3.—On the eve of the republican caucus the so-called Foraker-Hanna contest over the organiza- ton of the Ohlo leglslature fs an open bat- tle, with neither’ Price nor McKinnon as- sured of the thirty-five votes for the repub- Mean nomination for speaker of the house While McKinoon and Price are claiming thirty-sevon votes each, thelr managers, who “keep ‘hooks,” are more conservative. Congressman Dick, who s director general o, for McKinnon and the Hanaa faction, said: | “We gainod two in the declarations of Binckley, of ‘Perry and Flsher of Medina today and we want a couple more.” The Prige men concede McKinnon onl twenty-nine of what are called first and all the time men. But copservative on- lookers sny that cach hus thirty-three of that class and that each needs at least two more. George B. Cox, who Is the director gen- eral for Price, wald tonight “There are still seven doubtful republican fepresentatives. We need two or three of them, and the others four or five.” Working Like T While Dick, Cox and others are after re- cruits, thefr leutenants are having lively times in holding thelr men in line. Mem bers on both sides are accompanied by friends whergver they go, even to their meals and 4o bed. There are sentinels about the botels and at the depot to see | that none get away or Into strange com- | pany. Ropresentative Willls turned on his | encort today and publicly denounced the “organized esplonage on both sides.” Ho afterward attémpted to start a move- ment to drop both Price and McKinnon and | to take up A mew man for speaker. While every posaible offort, s being made tonight to secure the few remaining doubtful mem- bers, it Is evident that the most untiring efforts are being made by both sides to hold their own. While both Ohlo senators have become indirectly involved in the contest through the direct Intorests of thelr respective fol- lowers, it developed today that the lines are mnot strictly drawn between thelr friends. Many members concur with George B. Cox of Cincinnati In stating that this fight ix not one for the supremacy ot either Foraker or Hanna in Ohlo and that they are on equally cordial relations with both senators. Some of Hanna's closest friends are for Price and some ot Foraker's for McKinnon for speaker, for personal, local or other than factlonal reasons. The lines are much more d!stinctly drawn botween what are known as the Cox men ojans.

D, Jan. 3.—(Special.)— A body of free-milling ore has heen dis- covered on the ground of the Garden City Mining company, near Garden City, while the annual assessment work was being done, It {8 bolieved to be on a continuation of ths Houmestake ore belt, as it is situated only two or three miles north of the Homestako company and on a line with the trend of the Homestake ledges. The ore found at Garden City shows good values. The ex- tent of the body has not been determined, although the company has run into it sev- eral foet, It has been known for some time that free-milling ore existed in the reglon. The quartzite ores occaslonally show free gold by pan test, and the Garden City com- pany has been directing its work with a view to determining how extensive it is and its general character. The Garden City district contains a large amount of low grade ore, and since cyanide has made it possible to mill so many of these ores mining men are becoming more active in the development of their proper- tles. One of the first chlorination plants in the Black Hills was built at Garden City & number of years ago. It was operated for a short period, but the process was | imperfect at that time and It was found that a large part of the values escaped. Subsequently the plant was slightly altered and experiments were made with cyanide on ore from nearby claims by Curtis Al- exander, a chemist from Kansas City. His tests demonstrated that the ores could be treated at a profit by handling them on a large scale, but it was not possible to do this with the old plant. During the last eight moaths the tailings of the old chlori- nation mill have been worked over. Sore Jensen built a number of tanks and shov- eled in the tallings, turning on cyanide. As to crushing was required, and it was not necessary to expend money except for labor, it proved a profitble venture and sev- eral thousand dollars was netted in a few months' work. The dust ot the old plant and even the timbers about the mill con- talned good values. The latter were burned and everything was subjected to cyanide, with flattering results. The Edna Exploration company is drifting two ways from the bottom of a shaft on | quartzite near Garden City. The company was organized a few months ago by Dead- wood business men. Enough money has| been subscribed to continue work for the rest of the winter. The bond on the Realization group has been extended for thirty days and will ex- pire gome time this month. The ground belongs to May & Johnson of Lead and is IN JAIL ting His elde in mmits His Cel NORFOLK, Neb., Jan. 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Willlam Donner, & German farmer who Iived four miles northeast of Norfolk, committed sulcide this afternoon. The sul- clde was the culmination of a family dit- flculty. Some time ago Donner went home after imbibing freely and proceeded to beat his wite. Hie wife left his house and went to the home of one of her sons. A warrant charging assault was sworn out and placed in the hands of City Marshal Kane. Today Donner came to town and about 1 o'clock was arrested and placed in jail. Ar- rangements were made to have his hearing at once, and about 2:30, when the marshal went to the jall for his prisoner, he found him hanging to the bars of ome of the cell doors with a woolen muffler made into a noose and his head siipped through the noose, He was taken down, but life was extinct. BABY DIES OF HER BURNS Mother's Brief Absence Sufficient for Fatal ying with Fire, TABLE ROCK, Neb., Jan, 3.—(Special.)— The 18-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bivans was terribly burned last night at 6 o'clock and died about four hours later. Mrs. Bivans, the mother, had just come home with the two children and started the fire, leaving her two children, one aged 3 years and the other 18 months, in the rooms. She stepped out for a bucket of coal and when she returned the young child was & mass of flames. It is supposed the older child lighted a plece ot paper, which came in contact with the child’s and the Daugherty men. Two years ago ex-Representative Harry M. Daugherty was defeated for the gubernatorial nominatlon by Governor Nash. In that contest Cox threw his whole strength to Nash, as he is now dolng for Price. McKinnon was a Daugherty man then and a leader in the Jast legislature, which was controlled in its organization by the Daugherty men. Badly Tangled, Cox, who was then supporting Price for speakor, says he was pledged to him before the present complications arose. While Cox 18 friendly with both senators, Daugh- erty 18 an avowed opponent of both, and the local festure of the contest is the fact that Hanna and Daugherty are for the same man for speaker. The entanglement goes &till further with some in talking about Foraker and Cox being for the same man for speaker. And the crossing of wires extends to ex-Governor Foster, ex- Bovernor Bushvell, ex-State Chalrman Kurtz and others, who are now co-operat- Jog with those from whom they are sald to have been estranged in late years. Ignoring the Daugherty element entirely, Cox enedavored originally to have an agree- ment among the leaders and found no op- position to Price for speaker. After Cox bad committeed himselt, he says the Hanna men sald Price would not do. Referring to his original canvassing and the present complications, Cox said he found Senator Foraker at first friendly to McKinnon, al- though not pledged, and Semator Hanna fuvorable to Price, and at the time that he committed himself both of the senators ap- proved of Price for speaker. Mr. Cox in- w#ists that the present entanglements are temporary only and will have no bearing on future politics in the state. Hanna and Foraker Awake. While many conferences at the various quarters are being held tonight, all work- ers report to either Dick or Cox. Among the congressmen here in these final con- ferences are Reldler of Cleveland, Tomp- kins of Columbus, Kyle of Troy and Dick of Akran, Congresaman Dick today renewed the fight in the senate for W. E. Uhl of Cleve- 1and for chlef clerk and is working for other places in the senate, although tha contests in the senate and for minor places in the house are almost lost in the efforts to name the speaker. Scnators Foraker and Hanna both re- main contiruously in touch by long-distance telephones wib their friends here. While Foraker will have no, opposition for the republican nomination for senator, the names of Hon, Charles Baker of Cin- cinnati and Judge A. W. Patrick of New Philadelphia will both be presented for the democratic nomination for senator, with the odds in favor of Daker. Some of whe conferences lasted till after midnight, when it was found that a strong tide had set in during the night for Me- Kinnon, whose managers claimed forty of the sixty-elght votes. While these figures ware disputed by the Price men, most of the latter no longer claimed the nomina- tion. . Durlug the night Kimball, Christ, Bincke, Fisher and Neal, five of the doubt- ful ones, not only pledged themselves to McKinnon, but they also called on General Dick Scnators Wirt, Hanna, Dunham, Godfrey, Stubborn Colds and “Grip” Thousands of Cures—Years of Successful Tests NOW PROVE Powders ‘‘head off"’ Colds and Grip—Cure advanced and Stubborn Cases under Simple Directions, for nervousness, 1 thirtesu cases of wrip with severe as Clmed' two Yr7 Severe Caees serin M1 cases And headaches are s mANGF Of & o mindien. re.Oblcago,says: ** 'Or wraps.

Bulldings Constructed at Fairbury. FAIRBURY, Neb., Jan. 3.—{(Speclal.)— The buildings constructed {n Fairbury dur- ing the past year amount to $67,660, of which amount $41,650 was the cost of thirty-eight new dwelling houses.

D., Jan. 3.—(Special.)—The first chapter in the interesting case of Gamble against Dillon, In which United States Senator Robert J. Gamble enjoined | his law partner, C. H. Dillon, from entering | the offices of the firm or receiving any of its mall, has been read out In the eircuit court in this city. The case began tho day after Christmas, Judge Bartlett Tripp, Dillon's father-in-law, argulng to dissolve the motion. French & Orvis, attorneys for the prosecution, asked for more time and the case was continued until Saturday, when it was argued. The court has re- turned a decision, dissolving the injunction. Senator Gamble's new law partners, Messrs. Robert Tripp and John Holman, have moved into the old firm’s offices, and as the injunction s dissolved, nothing prevents Dillon taking possession of them again himselt, in the interest of the old firm, so further complications may be looked for. Another phase of the question will come up at the spring term of court, the settlement of the old partnership, which Gamble has asked for. In his answer to this part of the case Dillon alleges that even during the time Gamble was not engaged In his public dutles at Washington he devoted less than one-fitth of (his time to the affairs of the law office, whereas he was in duty bound to devote all his time to it, and because he did not do 8o, the business suffered in a greater or less degree.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Jan. 3.—(Speclal.) —L. H. Willrodt, & progressive Brule county farmer, has been experimenting the | past year with sugarcane as a product for winter feed for cattle and sheep. He re- ports that he harvested about fifty tons from ten acres, and that his cattle, sheep and hogs were very fond of it, consuming the entire stalk, even though only an inch in dlameter. He says his experiment proves to him that the coarse feed problem for livestock is solved for South Dakota. He planted the cane in drills, two rows about elght inches apart, and then & space of about two feet, and then two more rows were drilled. In this way it can be culti- vated and the grass kept down and pre- vented from drawing all the moisture out of the ground NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—President-elect Tomas Estrada Palma of Cuba is still at | his home at Central Valley, N.

Ho was interested with George S. Jackson, A. J. Malterner, J. C. Carson, George V.

The Board of County Commissioners held a star chamber seesion yesterday afternoon and debated the franchise over the county roads asked for by the Omaba Suburban Rapld Transit company.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—The troubles of the | Everett-Moore syndicate did not come as | a surpriee to Wall street bankers, says the Press. Bankers here say that those inter- ested are principally investors and banks throughout Michigan, Ohlo and Indiana and that only indirectly will eastern finan- clers feel the effect of the passage of the trolley lines Into the hands of bankers. Interest coutons of some of the compas nies in the Everett-Moore syndicate were pald in this civ yesterday by Kean, Van Cortlandt & Co., bankers of this city. At that office it was sald that the firm's only interest In the syndicate was to act as | fiscal agent for eome of the companles which the syndicate controlled; that it had none of the securities, The syndicate’s attempt to build a line parallel to the Lake Shore, a part of the New York Central system, from Cleveland to Toledo, led to the rumor that the New York Central mapagement intended to buy out this opposition. It was asserted here, however, that fallure to sell to the Lake Shore caused the financial difficulties of the Everett-Moore syndicate managers. Local interest was aroueed by the reports trom Cleveland, because Edward W. Moore is a director of the Phoenix National bank. It was explained that the syndicate, directly or directly, did not owe the bank a dollar and that the bank's officers had not even seen any of the syndicate's securities. Mr. Moore's position as a Wall street banker was also explained by saying that the bank's management had considered him as a man who probably would bring bus!- ness to the bank. For that reason hie name was added to the directory a year ago this month. But Mr. Moore did nothing more than open & small personal account with the bank. On account of his absence trom the city he had even been unable to at- tend any of the meetings of the board of directors. Petition for Divorce. garah C.
