BRIDGE INQUIRY ORDERED Osunty Osmmissioners Arrange for Investi- gation of Draks Oontraot, {THREE ENGINEERS ARE. AGREED UPON "Four Ol4 Members Override 0'Ke at Every Point and Fix the Whole Thi to Sait q Themuelves, M & meeting ,that was so warm It falrly #izzled the Board of County Commissioners yesterday selected County Surveyor Bd- uist, R. B. Howell, a former city engineer, 4 W. Beott King, engineer at the stock yards In South Omaha, to act, if they will, ness of the price of $14,000 that the county PAld for the county poor farm briage. Before the matter was disposed of there s an exchange of personalities that were Jyery blunt, and O'Keeffe, who la chairman of committes on bridges and who started this investigation, but who was not allowed preferred representation on the inquir- Ang board, declared: “I'll protest this mc- tion. If you mean to whitewash this thing, Jet’s know it at the start. I'll be here whe: 'that repcrt comes ‘n—if I'm not shot firs| i O'Keeffe proposed the lnquiry on June 21 and with some bravado the board voted at once that the bridge committee should select an engineer to do the Investigating. (Harte and Connolly, the other members of the committes, met with O'Keeffe, its chairman, yesterday, but the three could Dot agree on any one engineer. B eers Needed. It therefore came up before the board st this meeting upon O'Keeffe's motion to take the resolution from the bridge com- mittee and let the board do the selecting ‘of the Investigators. He eald that the com- mittes had agreed on three names Tues- day, but as the resolution provided for only one engineer and the committeemen couldn’t agree on that one, nothing was done. Harte moved that the board select three wngineers and the motion carried. Then the storm came, for the other four members of the board allled themselves Against the inquisitor from South Omaha and kept off the Investigating committee he only man that he asked to have placed on it. It was then that O'Keeffe made his protest and his reference to the white. washing process, He was so indignant that 'his voloe went to thunder pitch and quite & crowd was attracted to the chamber. . The thing was over almost before pectators could realize how it hap- pened, Ostrom moved that the county surveyor act as one member of the com- mittee and all voted aye. O'Keeffe proposed ‘the name of J. B. House and Harte sec- ‘onded the motion, but when the vote was taken Connolly, Ostrom and Chairman Hofeldt voted no and the motion was lost. Majority Names Its Men. , O'Keefte realized what was happening a the vote proceeded, but was powerle ‘When Harte proposed the name of W. S. Xing all otners voied 3 Omaban thundered a nay. When Connolly proposed the nameé of R. B. Howell the jce was repeated. Connolly had “given as the reason for opposing the selec- tlon of House the statement of O'Keeffe that he had seen House in regard to the ‘matter. Connolly sald: “O'Keeffe insisted on this particular man in committee meet- ing, but I don't belleve that when a mem- ber makes & charge he should be permitted to go out and select his engineer and have #t all cut-and dried.* * > - O'Keeffe's retort wis that this 'excuse was thin as water and’ that water, to his certain knowledge, is pretty thin. Instructl for Committee. ‘When the matter of the committee’s makeup had been disposed of,' Harte though not the chalrman of the committes, ‘oftered a resolution of Instructions to be given the Investigators, and these were ‘adopted with only O'Keeffe dissenting. It was during the discussion of these that ‘Connolly and Ostrom had a tart exchange with the recaleitrant South Omahan. An amusing feature of the moments of violent belligerency was that while Connolly wi very molst, Ostrom very white and O'Keefle very red with the heat of their discussion, the inexorable Peter the Silent puiled out a warrant book and proceeded calmly with bis signing. The discussion might have been .the recitation of a Latin class for all the concern the chairman betrayed. The resolution offered by Harte and adopted by the board instructs the Investi- gators to examine the contract of July 13, 1901, and interpret the contract price that should have been pald Drake for the bridge. Ia the determining process they are to ex- amine the original yearly contract between the county and Drake on behalf of the Standard Bridge company, dated July 1900, and the plans and specifications a tached; the order that the board gave 1901; resolution the The investiga- tors are to examine the bridge itself and board passed July 13, 1901; the “modified plans and specifications for such bridge, prepared and submitted to the board for their approval In accordance with the order of June 24, 1901, and by them approved and determine If it complies “with ti the i ect]: - imperf -‘ydatr is a physical breakdown.

They are to re- port if the labor and material meet the ri quirements of a fair interpretation of the plane and apecifications and ‘to decide it the prices are according te the varlous con- tracts. O'Keeffe Deteated Again. O'Keefte had moved that the county elerk be instructed to give the inveatigators & certified copy of the records of the brid, but motion was without second. When the instructions were read O'Keeffs sald: “Those modified plans are mew to me. It any modifying it was done after wea completed. There ta noth- ing in the records about them Ostrom was on his feet with a bound and #tood through the rest of the tete-a-tete, part of the time addressing the chalrman and part of the time shaking his fingers at O'Keefte, He sald: “Those modified plans wero mado before any work was done. You simply didn’t discover tham in the record.” 0'Keeffe—How coult. 1 when there was no public actien of this board? Ostrom—There was public action. O'Keeffe—~Why couldn't I find it on the record then?" Ostrom—You didn't wish to. You could have gotten any information you wished if you had come to me or to other members of this board. O'Keefte—If this thing goes Into the courts, as it may, it won't be what you or I say, but what the records show that will be accepted. I've had the records and— Ostrom (Interrupting)—You certainly bave had them. You've had them down at your own home in South Omaha for two or three weeks. You got the county sur- veyor to get them for you and when other people looked for them they couldn’t be found. When erest Revive: O’Keeffe—It's funny that nobody looked for them until after I commenced this in- vestigation. How did that happen? Connolly—1 can explain that. We tried to find the record after you refused to attend a committee meeting, at which we hoped to go over this matter and find out what was wrong. O'Keeflo—And I refused because you had & bridge man th ond wanted to find out what information I bad. I am under $5,000 bond to this county and am re- sponsible for what I tuke. Ostrom—The county clerk is under bond and is responsible for those books. You had no right to take them away. O'Keefte—I didn't eh? Ostrom—No, you didn’t. O'Keefte—Well, I did do it, didn’t I? Ostrom—Yes, and you once declared in the presence of the other members of the board that whatever we did you would be against us, O'Keefte—I sald no such thing. Ostrom—The other members are right hers now. We'll ask— But here Chairman Hofeldt came out of his trance with remarkable celerity and steered away from the breakers by putting the motion, which carried. The {instruc- tions will be given the Investigators as propesed by Harte. The rest of the meeting was devoted to vautine. The board decided to relieve Cass county of a St. Vitus' dance patient for three months at §256 per month, that county having no hospital of its own. CHRISTIAN WORKERS ARE BUSY Preparations for the Big Conv in October Are Being Pushed Vigorously. ‘Copious beads of perspiration stood on the unobscured bréw ot C. S. Paine last night as e sat in thit room at the Millard which has been permanently assigned to the promotors of the convention in Omaha, October 15-23, of the Disciples of Christ. ““Busy?” he exclaimed. “Wall, now there isn’t anybedy busier than we are. This convention work is assuming definite and monatrous proportions very rapidly. The state convention of the Nebraska Christiun Missionary society meets August 5 to 10 at Bethany, just outside of Lincoln, and we are to have headquarters there in a tent on the encampment ground, that we may dis- tribute more of the convention literature and get fully in touch with the live wos ers from all over the state. Monday night, at the First Christian church of Lincoln, we will have & special convention rally, which is to take the place of our regular monthly meeting, which was to have been at the North Side Christian church of Omaha next Wednesday night. We will have about 100 from Omaha for special work, and we pro- pose to make ourselves heard all over the state at that meeting. At the ministerial institute there this week they have Rev. J. B. Briney of Paris, Mo. who made the speech at Minneapolis that so materimily helped swing the convention to Omaha. fe's as full of enthusiasm in Gur behalf as ever. About the middie of August we will have bere Rev. L. J. Spencer of Lexington, Ky., who was president of the Minneapolis con- vention, and who will come to write descrip- tive articles of the three entertarmeng citles and the preparation for the convention, his articles to be furnished our church papers. This s a service that he has performed for some yoars, being always chosen for it be- cause of his entertaining newspaper style. He has assured us that Kenmtucky will be here wilh a great delegation for the com- vention. - “In two weeks we shall begin a syste- matic house-to-house canvass of Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs for places of entertalument for convention delegates, but let it be understood that such eatertain- ment is to be paid for. Our people at the | i Loulsville convention in 1898 voted to ac- cept no more free entertalnment. “We are stepping beyond all precedent in our arrangements by oftering to fill all prof- erred pulpits within 100 miles of Omaha on the convention Sunday, and the offer is be- ing taken advant of by many. Just this evening I recelved notice that pulpits in Ashland will be given over to us. Here- tofore it has been customary to fill enmly those pulpits in the comvention city. “Just now we are deing some preaching of our own.

O:fi‘hl - COMES T0 CONSULT OFFICIALS Obairman of Trainmens' Grievanos Com- mittes Not Promoting Btrika HAS THREE LOCAL CASES TO DEAL WITH Makes Statement Regarding P Men and the Unie eific Rallrond. C. 8. Macomber of North Platte, obair- man of the federated committes of engi- neers, firemen, conductors and tralamen of the Union Pacific road, and also chairman of the gemeral committee of conductors, arrived in the city yesterday snd his presence at once gave rise to reports that he had come in connection with thé re- ported trowbles pending between the freight conductore and brakemen of the Unifon Pacific '‘and the company. One of the strike leaders who was called up by tolephone by Mr. Macomber shortly after his arrival, gave out the repert that he and the tralnmes’s chief probably would confer during the afternoom. Mr. Macomber sald last night regarding these statements and his vi I came to Omaha to con with Divi- slon Superintendent Baxter and Superin- tendent of Transportation Buckingham about three local grievances and am it no y connected with thi rike of the shopmen, not am I here regarding any etrike or troyble of the tralnmen.

Mr. Macomber says he knows nothing. He professes to belleve that all such reports and that the men who have au- them and confirmed them are not in touch with the situation. Mr. Macomber expects to finish his bus- iness here and leave the city for North Platte by night. g Talk of Bad Metive Power. Strikers are still claiming that the com- s motive power is bad. District Sec- 'y Grace of the machinists received a letter yesterday stating that six trains were standing on the tracks at Rawlins waiting for engines to move them. Twb pa r engines are sald to have had boiler failures at the same place. Fourth Vice President Wilson fe ex- pected to arrive in Omaha today or tomor- row after completing an itinearry of the Union Pacific system. Officials of the com- pany are loud In thelr claims that Mr. Wilson's efforts have been in vain, while his assoclates are equally sure he has ac- complished a great deal for the strike. General Manager Dickinson stated that he bad met Willlam Hockenberger of Denver, representative of the Locomotive Engineers’ brotherhood from that section, with regard to certain local differences and that mat- ters had been taken under consideration satisfactorily. He sald nothing concerning the brotherhood at 1 was being consid- ered and that the affairs had no relation whatever to this or any other strile. The Union Pacific bas tmported thirty- three more monunion men from the east, the most of whom will go to work in Omaba, and fourteen into Kansas City. Btrikers have received information that five men left the Kansas City shops and seven the North Platte shops Tuesday. A ten- hour schedule, they say, has been installed at Cheyerne, together with Sunday work. Helpers Getting Benefits. The distribution of benefits {s the order of business among Union Pacific strikers yesterday. The boilermakers have been busy ing payments to their helpers, who were formally organized into a lodge Tuesday night, and the blacksmiths ap- portioned the pts of a benefit and some donations among their helpers. The bollermakers give the married helpers $6 & week and the single men 4. Black- smith reallzed §156 from the benefit Tuesday night and th's, with $50 con- tributed by local lodge No. 108 of the palnters' unmion, was given among their elpers. Game for Bemefit. The strikers' game of ball yesterday afternoon at Vinton street park between the machinists and their apprentices re- sulted in a score of 11 to 8§ in favor of the apprentices, The game started off with indications that the score would run up in the dozens, but after each side had softened up a bit in the sweltering sun, ardor and strenuosity went down as the mercury ascended and consequently the task was not all that was threat- The apprentices made six of their eleven ruos o the first inn! while the journey- men lined out four, just half of their total. During this inning the game was played by the flelders, most of the bat- ters knocking tl sphere wherever they Pploased. There was a fairly good attendance and the strikers will realize a neat little sum from the gate receipts. The llneup: s‘pm(kom ...

Colonel Hemry 8: Turrill, deputy sur- geon genera] of the United States army, has arrived in Omaha to take station at headquarters as chief surgeon of the de- partment. Colonel Turrill left Manila inl June. “When I left there,” sald he, ‘“‘the cholera was becoming exceedingly difficult to handle. There were many cases and the steamer upon which I left was quar- antined for five days before belng per- mitted to proceed. On landl 8an Francisco T heard that later the cases had risen to sixty a day, with forty-five deaths in Manila. The authorities now evidently e control, there are not more than that many cases a day mow on the whole island. ‘ “There is really no danger of bringing the disease from the islands to the United States, as the system of quarantine apd disinfection is as near perfection as pos- sible. Observation In hundreds of cases has proven beyond doubt that all cases of in- fection will develop within three and one- balt days, but for the sake of certainty the quarantine period has been made five da All ships with passengers from in- fected districts are %eld for five days, re. gardless of the conditions of thelr p: re’ health. If cholera develops dur- it time the boat must remain for five after the last case has been disposed of and the passengers and clothing must be disintected. From Manila the boats go to Nagasakl, Japan, where the Japanese gov- ernment has one of the best quarantine systems in the world. If any cases should develop between Manila and Japan the boat would be quarantined for five days beyond the usual time, but even under present conditions it must be quarantined for five aa: It cases should develop between Japan and the United States the quarantine officers at San Francisco or Seattle would take measures to prevent the appearance of the diseasq in this country, so you see that ail. that human endeavor can do to keep the cholera out of this country Is being done. “The Japanese quarantine system s a revelation even to members of the United States army, who know something about the subject themselves.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Repairs on North Twenty-feurth Btreet May foon Be Made. COUNCIL ABOUT READY TOACT IN MATTER Examination of Records Shows that Bill of Grant Paving Co! ny is Same Pald for the ork Before. For ten days or two weeks the city clerk advertised for bids for the repairing of the pavement on Twenty-fourth street and on last Monday night there was only one bid submitted, although it had been intimated that an eastern concern would try and break into the business of the Grant Pav- ing company here. The Grant company bid $1.50 per square yard for laying asphalt and 75 cents a yard for conmcrete base. After considering this lone bid the couneil decided to refect it, but neglected to direct the clerk to advertise again. A comparison of figures wag made yesterday, whem It was discovered that in 1900 the city pald $1.50 per square yard for aephalt and 75 cents for concrete. Last year the bid for phalt was $1.40 and the concrete the me as In former years. It is understood that in order to have the street repaired this year the council will at its meeting Monday night reconsider its action and will award the contract to the Grant com- pany at the bid submitted this year. Property owners on Twenty-fourth street are clamoring for repaire to the street as well as others, and as it appears the coun- cil can do no better at this time, the Grant offer will have to be accepted. All of the efforts of the city street department to properly repair the street have proven in- effective, in fact a detriment to permanent repairs, and so the city has given up the 1d of filling in the holes with broken stone and cement. As estimated now the cost of the repairs will run close to $2,000. There s money enough on hand to pay for the work when it Is completed. More Reform Movements. On top of the Sunday closing of saloons order of the mayor, which has been in force for three weeks, comes an order to the chief of police for the removal of all elot machines of all kinds. Yesterday aft- ernoon Chief of Pollce Briggs was engaged in serving notice on all those who are still operating slot machines of any sort. He inslets that even merchandise machines must be removed from the gaze of the pub- lic and that all oftenders will be proy cuted under the law for maintalning, keep- ing or harboring games of chance. The only machines that will be permitted to be operated are the gum machines, where It s stated there is a sure return for the money {nvested. As this new order of the mayor takes effect on August 1, those who have ma- chines will have one day in which to ship their contrivances to places where the laws are not so strictly enforced. When the order directing the chief to cause the removal of all slot machines from the view of the public became known to some of those _'hn are pushing the reform move- meni it was at once agreed taat t would be requested to -e.u:e nh:h‘:‘: :1‘; wine rooms are kept closed and that all resorts where men and women congregate be closed also. This request has not a: yet been presented to the mayor, but the chances are that it will be: ey fore the week Copying Petitl, re’ Names, Members of the Anti-Saloon | e hav employed & man 10" copy. the mar h-: all of those who signed the petition to the mayor and councll asking that sa- loons be kept open on Sunday. It was stated yesterday by a member of the league that these names would be printed in the Agitator, the organ of the league, and that coples would be distributed about the city. In addition to this the membet of the league assert that they will flle a copy of the names with the state league, and when any signer of the petition be- comes a candidate for office the league will turn in and work agalnst hfm. The league desires that the list be completed by Saturday If possible In order to get coples of the Agitator on the street and into the homes of the residents as soon as possible. Saloon Cases Contin Seven dealers in liquor, charged with ping their places of busin open on Sunday since Mayor Koutsky lssued his Sunday closing order, appeared before Judge King yesterday, that being the date set for a hearing. As the defendants did not appear to be ready for trial all of the cases were postponed until Thureday, August 14, Three Bo Due. On August 1 only three bonds fissued agalnst special improvement districts will fall due. The remarkable part of this is the fact that all three of the bonds are held by South Omaha business men. All they will have to do on August 1 will be to present the bonds to City Treasurer Howe and recelve a check in payment for the securit! ‘The funds in the three districts covered by these outstanding bonds are in such condition that the pay- ment of the bonds can be made at any time.

RIOTING STOPS A FUNERAL Mourners of Late Rabbi Jacob Jossph Resent Aots of Meohanios, WATER IS TURNED ON THE PROCESSION by Harl- ment Are Smashe Round Trip, Aug. sl I to 14, inclusive Colorado Springs, Denver, Pueblo. NEW YORK, July 30.—The funeral of the late Chiet Rabbl Jacob Joseph, head of the orthodox Hebrews of the United States, which was held here today, was the oc- casion of one of the most remarkable dem- onstrations ever witnessed in this city and led to a collision between the masses of Jewish mourners and the police. The streets were packed with thousands of He- brews, the stores were generally closed and every point of vantage along the route tak: by the funeral procession to the different synagogues was crowded. Directly in front of the house where the body has lain in etate for the last few days, over 100 patrolmen kept the crowd from the entrance with considerable diffi- oulty, After the services at the house the body was taken to each of the six eyna- gogues on the east side, where brief serv- ices were held. When the procession was passing the printing prees factory of R. Hoe & Co., on Grand street, on its way to the cemetery in Brooklyn, the employes of the factory emptied palls of water from the windows of an upper floor onto the epectators massed upon the sidewalk. Pall after pall, it was sald, was emptied on the throng, which shouted and struggled and stampeded in vain to escape. Then everalls and cloth- Ing soaked in water came down from above, and even tools, scraps of steel, bolts and a dead cat. The angry populace, most of whom were Hebrews, retaliated by throwing back into | the factory windows the missiles that fell | on them. They also gathered up stones and sticks and in a few minutes there was scarcely a whole pane of glass on the Grand street side of the factory. Then someone in the factory turned on a hose and played it indiscriminately at the funeral proces- sion. At one time as many as five streams were playlng on the crowd. Drivers of mourning carriages whipped up thelr horses, trampling over citizens and the stronger men trampled.-women and chil- o gy dren ‘under foot in their efforts to escape ? nne'{'«‘:r:fi-r. yrwoo‘m flfl‘m efely **of the disease on the wki Police Take a Hand, 3 zfino&ll is guaranteed to be mll L '”1 The poice in the meantime had taken o | io8 Lo iR il 01 hand’in the trouble and were clubbiag the | Wi LE without cutting, pain} no KUAra: 1 to 14 Inelu- 325 Round Trip, Aug. 110 14, inclusive Glenwood Springs, " Salt Lake City City Ticket Office, 1323 Farnam St., Omaha, Neb, $5.00 A MONTH o Specialist In all DISEASES and DISORDERS of MEN. 12 years In Omaha.

Bad feeling is eald to e be: tween some of the employes of the Hoe company and the Hebrews residing in the neighborhood, and this is said to have been the cause of the trouble. Herbert Hoe, of the printing press company, made a state- ment after the trouble was over in which he says fighting was going on in the ranks of the procession t passed the factory; that some of those attacked were forced to the door of the office and there the fight- ing continued, while missiles threwn by the crowd broke many windows of the fac tory. Then, it was, says Mr. Hoe, that his | employes tried to drive the assallants back by hurliog missiles at them and finally turning water on the er He added that boys working in the factory had been in the habit of jeering at the Hebrews and he had tried everything in his power to even discharging boys of whom complaint was made. After the riot had been quelled the fu- neral procession proceeded to Brooklyn, e the body of Rabbi Joseph was in- terred. The funeral procession did not reach the cemetery, however, without incident. As it passed through a Brooklyn street som one threw a heavy block of wood from th roof of a bullding into the line of mourn ers.
