0'KEEFFE STILL UNTERRIFIED | South Omaha Iomber Not Afraid of Party Org-.nmhon [] Oommxmo. STOCKHAM MAV NOT TAKE HIS NEW JOB | ya Me Wil Superintendent of Unless New Resolution Goes Through. ain Not Become Poor Farm “What are you going to do when the | county democratic central committee's committee calls to straighten out the dem- | ocratic members of the board?’ was asked | Commigsioner O'Keeffe yesterday morning. “I guess I'll leave the state,’ answered the unterrified Richard with a smile, as he glanced at a traveling bag that Commis- sloner Connolly had packed, preparatory to leaving tonight with Mrs. Connolly for a visit of two weeks or more in the extreme east. Then, more seriously, he added: really haven't thought much about it and don't know what the committeemen will ask, nor what they hope to do, but one part of my answer to them will be that 1 am for the taxpayers, not the politiclans ‘who want county jobs. “I can pick out halt a dozen of these men who are making the most noise about this board’s course and show that they wanted to get-onto the county pay roll. The chair- ' man selected some queer men for his com- mittes to visit us in the interest of the party. Everybody knows what Ford wanted, because everybody can remember how he sat around here, meeting after meeting, walting to step into the piace when it was glven him. Comments on Connolly, “As for Mr. Connolly's proposal to do whatever two members of a committee of three should decide as best, I must say that it seems to me he has put himself in a queer situation. This arrangement would bind him to vote for removals if the com- mitteemen so advised, and naturally the committeemen would advise having the county farm in charge of a democrat. How then can Connolly keep his word, for in the meeting of the committee of the whole, as every member present testifies, he de- clared that the appointment of Captain Wil Stockham, republican, for the place would be made with his free consent, that the captain should remain a year or at least until the possible changes are made in the personnel of the board January 1, next.” Mr. Connolly's departure just at this time makes the situation at the county farm a particularly interesting one. Captain Stock- ham told a representative of The Bee yes- terday that the resolution of last Saturday appointing him as superintendent and in- structing him to act as such after June 1, but without specification as to time, was not suficient. He sald: “If the board adopts a new resolution appointing me su- iperintendent for the seven months from June 1 to January 1, I'll take the place. It not, I won't. And the appointmept must be made before June 1." Hofeldt is with O'Keeffe, ‘With Connolly out of town such a resolu- tlon cannot be adopted, as Chairman Ho- feldt is known to be with O'Keeffe for re- taining Oest, the democratic incumbent. But in this connection there arises the other question as to what is to happen If Btockham keeps his word. There has al- ready been adopted a resolution making him superintendent after June 1, and unless the republican members vote with the dem- ocrats in rescinding that resolution the vote must stand a tie. Mr. Oest might continue in command, and indeed is d to have planned to fight in court his removal from the place, but some attorneys question his ability to collect salary if he remains in the institution after June 1 without being authorized by the board. “With matters thus complicated by a res- olution which he himself introduced, it is small wonder that Mr. Connolly feels the mneed ot ocean breezes and a two weeks' trip,” remarked a democrat at the court house yesterday morning. TROSTLER IS AN INVENTOR Councilman Makes Hand-Power Fan in Contemplation of Hot Summer. Not to be outdone in the line of inven- tion, S8imon Trostler, councilman from the Ninth ward, has devised a new kind of a fan which promises to make 100 degrees in the shade seem like an arctic winter. ‘The model returned from the patent office yesterday and Mr. Trostler is thinking of establishing a factory for the wholesale manufacture of his breeze-producers. He says: “I can make them at §2 a dozen and grow fat."” The Trostler fan is a little windmill, with turbine-shaped wheel, made to revolve very rapidly by means of the winding and unwinding of a string about the wheel's shaft. Power Is applied by the thumb, which exerts a slight pressure upon a wire lever fixed to the fan handle.

At army headquarters the officers are making preparations to visit Fort Leaven- worth on Decoration day, when they will be the guests of Colohel Augur, command- ing that post. The occasion of the visit is the funeral services which will be held over the remains of General Leavenworth, an army officer for whom the post and town were named, and who will be reinterred that day, his body having been removed from New York. The services at the funeral will be in charge of Colonel C. C. Carr, commandant at Fort Riley. A large detachment has been ordered from Fort Riley to join the soldlers at Fort Leaven- worth. The party from Omaha will consist of General John C: Bates, Colonel J. W. Pull- man, chief quartermaster; Colonel E. J. McClernand, adjutant general; Captain Willlam M. Wright of the Second infantry, acting inspector general; Mrs. McClintock, Miss Pullman and Miss Ethel Pullman. The party will go to Leavenworth in the private car of G. W. Holdrege of the Bur- lington. Word has been received that the second squadron of the Fifth cavalry now at Fort Apache will proceed to the Philippines in June after being rellieved by a squadiron of the Third cavalry. This squadron is the one to which Lieutenant McClintock, aide on the staff of General Bates, is attached, but as he has already seen two years' serv- ice on the isiands ke will not accompany his troop. FIRST SHRINE PARTY PASSES Delegation from Davenport, Ia., Stops in Omaha Only Ten Minutes. The first of the delegates to the meeting of the imperial council, Nobles of the Mys- tic Shrine, passed through Omaha yester- day over the Rock Island. This delega- tion consisted of a party frm Kaaba tem- ple, Davenport, Ia., and included ahout a dozen of the members of the temple with their wives. The delegates from Kaaba temple this year are W. C. Hayward, George M. Titus, R. R. Tabor and M. J. Temple. Mr. Hayward was not in the party, but will overtake it at Salt Lake. The special car of the excursionists will make regular time to Salt Lake, where it wlill lay out twenty-four hours, giving the members time to visit the show places in the Mormon eity. The train was met at Omaha by & com- mittee from Tangler temple consisting of Gustav Anderson, Colonel H. C. Akin, Cadet Taylor, Victor White, Frank Brownlee, Dr. A. Hugh Hipple, Alfred M. Olson, Henry Hardy, M. A. Hall and M. F. Funkhouser. The train stopped only ten minutes and there was opportunity for no more than a handshake. The party from Davenport will retprn home by way of the Great Northern, visiting Yellowstone National park enroute. Nobles of Tangler Temple Made final arrangements for the plirim- age to San Fransisco on Friday evening, May 23, selecting the Uafon Pacific as the Official Route, thus disposing of all mis- leading statements on this point. In making this selection the following facts were borne in mind, namely: The Unlon Pacific s the only line running through trains via Denver and Salt Lake to California; that it is 278 miles shorter to San Francisco and }6 hours quicker than any other line, and that, less time fs consumed via this route, thers are fewer incldental expenses on the trip. Nearly all the prominent eastern Temples will pass through Omaha over the Union Pacific. Full information cheerfully furnished and reservations made on application.

TODD SAYS NOT GUILTY Former Agent of Pacific Mutual Denies Oharges Against Him, DECLARES HE IS SQUARE WITH COMPANY Brought Back from Minneapo Where He Has Been Living Under His Right Name—No Req sition Nece: ¥. A. V. Todd, formerly general agent of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance company, was brought back to Omaha yesterday morning from Minneapolis by Sergeant Havey of the police department. Todd is wanted on a charge of embezzling money from the company, the amount stated in the com- plaint being $356. He was arrested sev- eral days ago in Minneapolis at the re- quest of the Omaha officials and came back without requisition papers. Todd stated yesterday morning that the company could sustain no charge againet him and that his arrest was spite work. He sald: “They charge me with getting away with this money on or about January 17. About that time 1 owed the company $1,400, which I settled by turning over to it $3,000 worth of per- sonal property, and I thought that squared the whole business. I have been traveling under my own name and have made no attempt to keep secret my whereabouts. I have been in Minneapolis under my own name and boarding at & hotel there, ‘Was Not in H ““They could have arrested me any time they wanted to and I don't understand, if there is anything in the charge, why they have waited so long. I don't care to make any statement at this time, or at least until I see an attorney. The whole busi- ness Is spite work and there is nothing in the charges. There was no need to send an officer for me, for I would have re- turned here any time had I known I was wanted.” Fred B. Morris,- general agent of the Pacific Mutual, stated that he did not care to discuss the case, as he was only the agent of the company, and that one of the officials would be here from Chicago in a few days to see about it. The Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland is on Todd's bond, and will push the prosecution. President Karr of the city council called on Todd at the city Jail yesterday morning and will likely ge bond for him.

The History of Nebraska, To the People of the State: The lamented death of J. Sterling Morton, editor of the History of Nebraska before its completion, justifies the following statement which the undersigned cheerfully make: We have examined the prospectus and the financial status of the history as submitted to us by the publishers, Jacob North & Co., and are convinced of the intention and abil- ity to finish and publish the work within a reasonable time, and as nearly as possible according to the outline and wishes of Mr. Morton. While his death will obviously cause some delay, the publishers belleve that they will be able to issue the work not later than January, 1903. 1t gives us special satisfaction to be able to announce that, in accordance with the known plans of Mr. Mortop, which he had made previous to his death, Mr. Albert Wat- kins of Lincoln, whose pecullar fitness for this work is known to us all, will be editor of the History and will have the entire charge o! the work.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1902 DEFERS EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM Pollce Board Finds it Inexpedient to Introduce New Shift at Present. The Board of I'ire and Police commle- sloners has decided not to introduce the elght-hour system in the police department for a while yet. Though a majority of the board favors the project, it is thought in- expedient to try It for the present, si it will necessitate a material increase in the force At Monday's meeting a communication was read from the Prospect Hill Im- provement club, asking that that section of the city which lies north of Hamilton street and between Thirtfeth and Thirty- sixth streets bé given police protection. The secretary was directed to inform the club that after Jume 1 a patrolman will report regularly at the call box at Thirty- third and Parker streets. A letter was received from Mary B. New- ton, principal of the Castellar achool, con- gratulating Detectives Drummy and Mitch- ell and Patrolmen Inda and Dargaczwski on their success in handling the Castellar school burglary of May 10. The alleged burglar has been arrested and bound over to the district court and the goods have been recovered. A similar letter was re- celved from W. B. Belt, manager for the Nebraska Telephone company, commending Detectives Heelan and Johnson upon the ar- rest of John Dixon, charged with looting telephone pay stations. The letter called attention to the fact that the detectives took the case at 2 p. m. Friday, that the ar- rest was made at 6 p. m., that the suspect confessed at 11 p. m. and that he was con- victed and sentenced at 8:30 the following morning. A report was recelved from City Electri- clan Schurig on the subject of the expedi- ency of remounting the big electric alarm bell {n the tower of engine house No. 3. The report was adverse. Mr. Schurlg sald he had investigated the subject of alarm bella and had learned that the system has been abandoned in nearly all tles of the metro~ politan class in the country. “Its only effect is,” he wrote, “'to collect a crowd of volunteer firemen, who impede the work of the regular firemen.” The secretary was authorized to solicit designs for stars or shields to be worn by the city police, since the stars now in use are tarnished and unsightly. WILL BE MUSIC IN THE' AIR Omaha Delegate to National Meeting Promises Trouble for South Omaha Musicians, Jullus Meyer, who will go to Buffalo, N. Y., next week to attend the meeting of the National Union of Musiclans, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, will carry war into the east against the South Omaha Trades and Labor assembly, and if the statements made by members of the mu- siclans’ union are borne out in the Investi- gatlon it is probable that the central body of SBouth Omaha will be making explanations to the American Federation within a few weeks. It wae noted some time ago that certain musiclans of that city had organized a union which affiliates with the Western Labor union and that there would be a struggle between the Omaha union and the new one for business in South Omaha. It is now said that the western union has been recog- nized by the central body of South Omaha, which holds a charter from the American Federation of Labor. A member of the Omaha union said: “‘Our delegates to the South Omaha cen- tral union have, withdrawn. The delegates of the rival unhn had been recognized and we could not sit in the same organization. South Omaha Has been unfavorable to the Omaha unton ever since last summer, when it consented to the employment of a band of non-union men from out in the state at the bull fighting carnival. Now, when the matter is presented to the executive com- mittee of the national union and is brought before the federation the South Omaha cen- tral body will elther have to bounce the interlopers or surrender its charter.” BOOK AGENT COMES TO GRIEF Employer Says His Orders Were Taken from People Not in Existence. J. H. Creighton, canvasser for ‘6,000 Years of History,” had another chapter added to his publication yesterday morning, when Judge Berka bound him over to the distriet court in the sum of $500 on a charge of forgery. The complaint was sworn to by A. D. Birdsell, general agent of the publishing company, who stated that Creighton had overdrawn his account $200 by means of forged orders. Creighton was mt to West Point to sell the publication and the first day telephoned that he had taken three orders and needed more money to continue the good work. Birdsell sent it to him and the performance was fre- quently repeatéd. When Creighton re- turned to Omaba after a very successful campalgn & mam was sent out to make the deliveries. He reported that the men who had purchased books from Creighton existed only in the agent’s imagination. Complaint was filed and eral days ago Creighton was arrested In Carroll, Ia., by Detective Dunn. Attorney McDonald, representing the Morrison Publishing company, stated that he would file a complaint against Creigh. ton, after he is through with this ci charging him with beating that company out of $30 in the same manner. Creighton is about 21 years of age and came from San Francisco, where his par- ents are sald to be highly respected people. He was taken to the county jail. BERKA PRODS PROSECUTORS Police Judge Threatens to Send Po- MHeemen After County At- torney's Men. Judge Berka of the police court Is after the county attorney and the latter's depu- ties with a sharp stick. The magistrate considers that the publiz's time is worth something, wherein he appears to differ trom the prosecutors, and the promised re- sult is that hereafter either the prosecutors will appear in his court at an earlier hour of the morning or the magistrate will send an officer after them armed with a caplas or bench warrant, The judge balances the scales of justice at 7 a. m. and by 10 o'clock usually has dis- posed of the city cases and is ready for the county’s represéntatives. But they have been coming at whatever hour seemed most convenient to them, and frequently court is in sesslon hour after hour with nothing doing. “It lsn't right to do business this way,” sald the judge, “and I propose to stop it. There's o excuse for the county prosecutors belng tardy so frequently, and hereatter I shall certalnly eend officers for them every morning to bave them here in time if they Court Investigates Cotton Po unfl’l-ll: Tenn., May 21.—The federal court today entered fully into the unulcn ot the cottoa pool, ul-ra to have organized by several raflroads -nur:? lc-phl- it today were: menager of the Missour R WILL TALK STEP-RATE PLAN| g Head Oonsul Northoott to Address Local Woodmen of America, CHANGE OF ASSESSMENT CONTEMPLATED Majority of the Fifty Thousand Ne- braska Members Sald to Be Op- posed to Plans of Head Camp’'s Committee, Conelderable Interest centers around the meeting of Modern Woodmen of America to be held at the Creighton Orphcum June 5, at which Head Consul Northcott will speak. There are approximately 50,000 members of the society in Nebraska and ,000 in Iowa, all of whom are deeply in- terested in the tour of the head consul, who, It is sald, Is visiting the different cities for the purpose of educating the membership on the subject of a change in the method of levying the assessments for death losses. At a meeting of the head camp a commit- tee was appointed to provide a change in the method of securing the benefit fund, W. H. Thompson of the Nebraska jurisdic- tion being a member of the committee. Many ideas were proposed, but the co mittee finally decided upon the step-rate plan, by which the rate pald by the mem- ber for insurance advances from year to year, with his age, and also recommended a reserve fund to be created by an assest ment of b cents per month upon each mem- ber. The plan proposed by the committes meets the approval of the head officers, but local members of the organization claim that 95 per cent of the members are op- posed to it, belleving that a comparatively few can afford the higher rate thus re- quired. Member Expresses Opinion. Sald a member of one of the local camps: “Mr. Northcott and the other head offi- cers are very anxious to have the plan adopted and have gone 50 far as to organize a literary bureau, which has been placed 1n charge of Ab. Landis, a well known pub- lisher of insurance papers. They claim that it is their intention to educate the masses of the membership until they can see the advantage of the step rate and the reserve fund, but in my opinion the expense of that method will preclude its adoption. “Everyone famillar with the condition of the order admits that some provision should be made for a rainy day and the only dit- terence hinges upon the method to be adopted. A large number are in favor of the creation of an emergency fund and still more favor a plan to make & minimum number of assessments each year, not less than twelve, the balance left after all losses have been paid to be covered into an emer- gency fund. “It has been the boast of the officers and of the members of the order that the so- clety never made many calls for assessment that were nnt absolutely necessary. Many years they have only called ten assessments and many more they have called but eleven, while last year they called twelve when there was money enough in the treasury to close the year without the last assessment. How to Create Rewerve Fund. “It there had been twelve assessments each year, regardless of the deaths, and the surplus turned Into the emergency fund there would be no danger from that source, as several millions of dollars would be at interest at this time. At the present time about $400,000 is raised on each assessment and about $350,000 required to pay the losses, leaving a balance of $50,000 from each as- sessment. “There is one thing pecullar about the present agitation, and that s that it has had no effect upon the growth of the soclety. There were about 13,000 members added in March, when the last statement was pub- lished, and the ipcrease has been maintained in April. “The members of the order in Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs who have been invited to hear Mr. Northcott will be glad to learn the reason why he favors the committee plan. It has been suggested in some quarters that a specla. mesting of the head camp be called this summer to take definite and final action upon the assess- ment question and the visit of Mr. North- cott may crystallize that sentiment in this community.” BROWN MIXES WITH WHITE Both Are in Same Cell and Brown Starts the Mixing Proce Robert White, an old soldier, blind and crippled, who Monday recelved several cuts on the top of his head in a fight with Mose Hawkins, colored, equally as old and de- crepit, was badly beaten by his cell mate, Albert Brown, in the city jail Monday night. White was placed in & cell with several other prisoners and later Brown was put in with them. During the night Brown, who was under the influence of liquor, jumped on White and broke his nose and almost put out his good eye before the officers could stop him. Judge Berka fined White and Hawkins §5 each for fighting, after which the two men shook hands. Brown was fined $5 and costs for carrying concealed weapons and after serving that out he will be prosecuted on a charge of assaulting White. GALLAGHER AN IOWA PRODUCT Officer Reporting on Devastation at St. Vincent Halls from City Across River. Yesterday's dlspatches from Washington, printed in the dailies, told of Adjutant General Corbin recelving an oficlal report of the devastation of St. Vincent, from Captaln Hugh J. Gallagher of the commis- sary department. Friends here say that Captain Gallagher 1s a Council Bluffs product, having been sent to West Point from the lowa town some years ago. His mother still lives six miles east of that city, it is said, and he has other relatives in Omaha. He visited the Bluffs about a year ago, but after that was not heard from until there came a letter about three weeks ago describing the plage, but writ- ten before the eruption that cost 1,600 lves. ‘Nervous?
