THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, DOUGLAS GETS SHORT END Obairman Blackburn Talks of Apportion | ment for Oongressional Oonvention. SAYS HE FAVORS ELECTION AT LARGE Committee Will Probably C: vention for September 20, Primaries the Preced Gonsip Among Politicians, Con- with Day— Chairman Blackburn of the congressional committee sald yesterday' morning that it 18 the intentiom of the committee, which is to meet at his office at 3 o'clock Saturday wfternoon, 10 call the congressional con- tion for Saturday, September 20, and the primaries for the preceding day “We expect,” sald Mr. Blackburn, the county committee will call its primaries for the same date, and that the executive committees will be able to arrange to hold the county and congres- slonal primaries with the same judges and clerks. *“The, congressional committee will fix its call 80 as to admit the fifteen delegates from Washington and the eight from Sarpy who have already been selected and provide for the election of 121 delegates from Douglas county direct to the con- gressional convention. It has been practically decided that Douglas county will be given 121 delegates In the conven- tlon, which will be less than one for each 100 votes cast for the republican nominee at the last congressional election—the basis used in fixing the number of dele- gates already selected in Washington and Sarpy counties. It we should give Doug- las county representation on the same basie as the other counties it would have 139 votes in the convention, and we con- sider the jump from 95, the number Doug- as county had two years ago, to 139, too steep. “As to the apportionment of the 121 delegates between the wards of Omaha and South Omaha and the country pre- cincts, I am not saying anything. That has not been determined, and I don't know as it makes much difference to us how many delegates each ward and precinct is to have. 1 am in favor of having the entire Douglas county delegation elected at large, instead of allowing each ward and precinct to vote separately, but I un- derstand that a majority of the committee differs with me on that proposition.” “It appears to me,"” said a prominent re- publican, “‘that Mercer is up to another trick in holding back the meeting of the congressional committee until the same day and the same hour appointed for the meet- ing of the county committee. The arrange- ment is certainly out of the usual order, for it has always been the custom to give the county committee an opportunity to act advisedly in ‘issuing its call. Under the present arrangement the county committee will not know, unless it waits for news from the congressional committee, which will be in session at the same time, what arrangement, if any, it has to make for the seloction of delegates to the congres- slonal convention by the county convention, It will not know, either, when the congre: sional primaries are to be held, in cas delegates are to be elected directly to a congressional convention, so that it may call the county primaries for the same time. There may be some kind of an understand- ing about all this between Mercer's man- agers and a select few of the county com- mittee, but Mercer's managers and a se- lect fow of the county committee do mot by long odds represent the republicans of this county and district. “In every other congressional district in this state the republicans have been given an opportunity to select the delegates to their convention in the usual way, and every candidate for the nomination has been glven a fair and equal chance. But here in the Second district the committee, in- stead of representing the republican party, Tepresents Mercer alone, and everything is arranged to the liking and convenience of the Mercer managers. Mr. Mercer has not gained anything by his tactics, and if he has any tricks to spring in connection with the call for the primaries, as is indicated by the pecullar arrangement for the meet- ings of the committees, he will still fur- ther weaken his chances for the nomina- tion.” “that ‘Whatever may be sald of Councliman Lobeck, his political astuteness s con- ceded. “It looks as if you had Dave beat,” he was overheard to . “If Mercer had been wise he would have had his congres- slonal convention called in June. There might have been a good chance for him then, but now I don't believe he can land the nomination. He is getting weaker every day and I wouldn't give much for his chance for nomination, and surely not for election.” The West Side Republican club will mee| at Hibbeler's hall, Forty-fourth and Leav- enworth streets, Friday night. Candidates for nominations on the republican ticket are expected to be present and address the meeting. Congressman Burkett of the First dis- trict passed through Omaha yesterday on his way home from Tekamah, where he at- tended the republican county convention ‘Wednosday, at which Speaker Sears was re- mominated for the legislature. Mr. Burkett says there are no clouds on the horizon in his district, everything s harmonious in the party and he expects a re-election by & large majority. His committee meets at Lincoln today to complete arrangements for the comduct of the congressional cam- palgn. Mr. Burkett spent only a few hours in the city and put in the time visiting his political friends. The Sixth Ward Republican club will meet this evening at Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets.

PHILATELIST WORKS SCHEME Government Authorities Decide They Are Powerleas to Stop the Game. The postoffice inspectors have unearthied a fraud which they believed eould be pun- ished by the federal authorities, but after the Department of Justice had investigated, it was decided that the fraud did not come within the statute. At tne time the Columbian stamps were tssued by the Postoffice department, in 1893, a large number of facsimiles of every de- nomination issued were printed on card- board and fssued to those requesting them without cost. A local philatelist recently secured from the department a large num- ber of the cards bearing the facsimile ot the series and by the use of sharp knives reduced the cardboard to the thickness of the paper upon which the regular stamps were printed. He then simulated the per- forations along the edge of the stamps, and, pasting the series upon cards, offered them for sale as genuine Columbian stamps for less money than the cancelled stamps in serles can be secured. The low price at which the stamps were offered attracted the attention of other dealers, and they suspected counterfeits. The matter was placed in the hands of the local inspectors, who soon uncovered the fraud and turned the matter over to the district attorney's office. From this office came the decision that the action of the stamp collector could not be questioned by the government unless he should attempt to use the fraudulent stamps for the trans- mission of letter Ringling Bros. Arrangements are under way for a return visit of Ringling Brothers’ big eircus to Omaha. The date has been definitely st for Monday, September 15. This will bring the show to Omaha on Sunday and the pub- Iic will have an opportunity to see the al- ways Interesting sights incldent to & big caravansary in Sunday quarters. The big show hi made an extensive tour this season, and is now winning success and pprobation on the Pacific coast. In & few days 1t will turn eastward again, and Omaha and many of the smaller cities of Nebraska will have an opportunity to see the exhi- bition In its new garb. For the announce- ment is made that everything in connection with the show is entirely new this year. The pharaphernalia is new and up-to-date, the costuming is brilliant and rich beyond anything hitherto attempted, while the per- formance is presented by a great company of 300 artists, hardly one of whom has ever before been seen in this city. The spec- tacular displays are also new, and special and unusual attention has been given to trained animal novelties of all kinds. In the spectacular line It is probable that the new equine ballet takes firet place. This is 1d to be the most brilllant and exhilarat- ing display of high-class horses and horse- manship ever presented in an American clireu It is the crowning achievement of John O'Brien, the successful originator of many clever horse acts and the trainer of the sixty-horse act which attracted so much attention with Ringling Brothers' circus last season. Wonderfully trained elephants, seals and sea lions, bears and ponies con- tribute to the suces of the tralned ani- mal section of the show.

P, BREEN Shouts for Mercer Come from Black- burn-Jordan Force in Rear of Hall — Oratorical Attempt of Congressman, Dave Mercer ufidertook to find a home last night and he was anything but pleased with the result of his quest. Away from the City of Washington, far from his friends at Atlantic City, more than crying distance from Minneapolis and with memories of & more pleasant summer on board a govern- ment transport in the Orlent, the gentleman who occuples the seat belonging to the Sec- ond Nebraska district in the halls of con- gress sought to make himself at home in the Seventh ward of the city of Omaha. The occasion was the meeting of the Sev- enth Ward®Republican club, and the par- ticular spot was the hall at the corner of Twenty-seventh and Leavenworth. Indeed, Mercer was the prodigal son returned; but the proverbial fatted calf had waited so long that those not in the immediate family of the prodigal had been given and had taken the opportunity to sharpen its long grown horns for an unexpected thrust at the vis- itor. The home people were there in force, for never before has the Seventh Ward Repub- lean club held such a largely attended meeting. Aside from the republicans of the ward some fifty or sixty lusty lunged shout- ers from the First and Ninth wards crowded | in the hall and did what they could to cheer up the visitor from the east. Tom Black- burn of the Ninth and Dick Jordan of the First were the conspicuous leaders of the mnonresident visitors that endeavored to make the prodigal feel at home. But it was woe to Dave. When invited to speak the congressman knew only too well that the shouts and plaudits that gleeted him came not from the Seventh warders, but from the Blackburn-Jordan forces in the rear of the hall. And when John P. Breen, the real home candidate for the congres- slonal nominatlon, occupled the rostrum Dave observed only too keenly for his own comfort that the applause and cheers came from the home people. Verltable worm-| wood, too, did Mercer find the spontaneous | cheers given at the conclusion of the schol arly and eloquent address given by his Sev- | enth ward competitor for the congressional | nomination. Among the remarks made by Mr. Mercer | were these: “Since I saw you last I have not -promed‘ any horns or formed any bad habits. Every | man thinks pretty well of his stomach and | mine is getting along first rate. I have been | as to keep right| on getting you people all the public butld- ings you want. If you keep me in congress long enough I will have the capitol moved out here to you. “It wi pl-yln‘ it preuy strong when I &ot ihat public 3 Reed was speaker of the house then and he was against it and its a pretty hard game to go up against the speaker. Reed went to Matt Quay, who was chairman of the senate committee on bulldings, and told him that I was trying to get a public bullding on every 160 acres of ground out in Nebraska, and it would have to be stopped. When Quay met me he sald I was golng too strong, and I just told him that if I didn’t get the Blair building he couldn’t have one that he wanted at New Brighton, Pa. The result was that the bufldings went up at both Blair and New Brighton.” “If there is anything I dislike it is a cam- paign full of personalities, but if it's nec- essary to get into that kind of a battle you will find me a pretty good fighter. As long as my opponents treat me llke a gentleman I will treat them llke gentlemen. Some people around here will be sorry that' I didn’t stay in Washington or Minneapolls.” “John Breen s a good fellow and after it 1s all over John will come to me and say that he was for me all the time. I expect to carry every ward in the city unanimously.” Mr, Breen preceded his discourse on na- tional and International topics by remarking that he did not approve of the “gentle- manly” campaign indicated by a cartoon which Mr. Mercer had already began to ofr- cu'ate. He produced a copy of the objec- tionable print, which showed Mercer with a string of public bulldings 1o his hands and three curs barking at his feet. ‘On what meat does this man feed, ked Mr. Breen, “that he becomes so great and powerful that he assumes to nd astride of this congressional district and characterize as yellow dogs the citizens who question his right to stay in congress for- ever?” After the meeting adjourned Mercer pushed his way through a crowd on the side- walk to reach President Thomas and liquire the name of the treasurer of the club. “I suppose If you put up that tent you'll want some money?” explained the congressman in & tone so loud that his genmerous offer floated into the ears of every man within the distance of & block. DOUGLAS COUNTY VETERANS 014 Boys Hold a Successful Re at Elk City and Eleet Omcers. butldl; The Douglas County Veterans' assocla- tion is holding its annual reunion at Elk City this week and {s having a great time from all points of view. Attendance Is large, weather is fine and enthusiasm knows Bo bounds. Thursday, the second day of [the reunion, witnessed the election of ofieers for the coming year. Charles Herrier of Valley was elected president; W. E. Somes of Elk City, first vice president; Fred Etter of South Omaha, second vice president; D. M. Haverly of Omaha, secretary; Charles B. Hall of Omaha, treasurer. \ About 3,000 people were on the grounds during the day. The principal speakers of the afternoon were E. J. Cornish, N. C. Pratt, C. R. Scott and W. A. Debord, all of Omaha. A sham battle was given at 4 o'clock. At the camp five tonight many army stories were told and army eongs were sung. Judge Lee Estelle was the principal speaker this evening. The re- unlon will close Friday evening. A Comcert of Solos. For the first time this season all of the many soloists of Covalt's band at Lake Man- awa will be on the program tonight for solos. This includes many of the finest soloists In the country and s an oppor- tunity seldom offered the music loving pub- le. There will be a solo by Mr. Miller, on the oboe. As there are only eight or ten oboe players in the country, this alone will be & rare treat. Cornet solos, cornet duets, trombone duets, picolo, zylophone, clarinet, baritone, Lrombone and horn solos will be the order of the evening. Famous the World Order from H. TOMPSETT MAY BE RETIRED Boara Eduen Constdering Change in Military In- struction. At & special meeting of the Board of Ed- ucation to be held this week the question of securing a milftary Instructor from the United States army will be considered. The War department has said that 100 officers would be detalled for this purpose to go to echools where at least 100 puplls are to be given Instruction in military sclence during the year. The cadet battalion at Omaha will number more than 200 at all times, which puts this school well beyond the limit. Members of the board who are favorable to the plan say'that it may cause some friction for the reason that the present commandant of chdets, Mr. Tompsett, has been employed for 'a yedr and may {nsiat upon the contract being carried out. It is proposed by those who desire to carry out the contract that Mr. Tompsett be given the position of clerk to the suverintendent of bulldings, or some similar position to be created, 5o that he can draw his pay for the year and the school still have the benefit of the regular officer. The desire to change the contract with the commandant {s caused by the fact that the regular officers will be detailed for a period of two years, and it one is not secured for Omaha as soon as the detail is made it may be impossible to secure one before the end of two years. At the special meeting to be called it is expected that the final steps In the matter of securing additional ground for the Mon- mouth Park school wil be taken and the tract purchased or negotiations dropped. The price at which the tract was offered was 182,600. A bid of $1,750 was made and it is | understood that the owner will sell for |$2,000. Friends of the purchase belleve that {1t will be made below the latter figure. The smokestack at the High school will also be considered and it is expected that some friction will develop between those who think a new chimney necessary and those who belleve that the present one, with a few alterations, can be utilized. ACCUSED OF STEALING TOOLS Detective Causes the Arrest of Three Former Employes of Union Pacific. D. McKenna, William Nobles and Charles A. Forbes are under arrest charged with grand larceny. The complaints were sworn to by a representative of the Union Pacific Raliroad company, who alleges that the men stole tools of the value of about $170 from the shops. The robbery is alleged to have occurred on or about August 15, and the complaint specifies one box of steel files valued at $20; five boxes of wrenches | | valued at $20 each and other tools to the value of $50. Forbes was lodged in Wednesday night and yesterday his hear- ing was set for Saturday in police court. He has been released on bond. Nobles and McKenna were arrested at Bancroft. They have not been arraigned. Forbes denied the charge against hifn, but refused to dis- | cuss the case. Special Officer Vizzard of the Union Pa- cific visited the home ‘of Forbes, 214 South Twenty-ninth street, and there discovered | a quantity of tools and paint brushes with the Union Pacific matk on them. At the residence of Nobles, 3511 Burt street, more of the goods alleged to have been stolen | were found. In all about $150 worth were recovered. The house of McKenna has not yet been searched. The men are former employes of the Unjon' Pacific. For some months thé Union Pacific com- pany has been missjgg tools from the shops but unt{l thé arrests Wednesday nothing had been done to stop ft. While the repre- sentative of the company would not discu: the case, he left the impression that the arrested men had confederates on the inside who brought the todls out o' order that they could be disposed of.

Local union No. 16 was the host and ite members entertalned over 200 guests, com- pletely filling the dining room of the Dellone hotel, where the banquet was held. Pipes were lald to & well of good time and every pipe sprung a leak in the banquet hall. Among the main pipes present were the presidents of the Bullding and Trudes coun- cil and local afllated unions, the president of the Central Labor union, Mayor Frank E. Moores, Edward Rosewater, President Clif- ton of the local union, Natlonal Organizer Spencer and others. The march to the din- ing hall began shortly before 10 o'clock, and from that time on pleasure ran riot. The guests were welcomed by President Clifton of the local union, who introduced A. S. Kelly of Chicago, who presided as toastmaster. In his address Mr. Kelly stated that in all his experience with in- ternational conventions he had never seen delegates more howpitably entertained than the delegates to this convention. He highly complimented the city of Omaha and its peo- ple on the wonderful progress of the town. Speaks Well of Plumbers, Mayor Moores was introduced by Mr. Kelly in a very eulogistic speech and made a characteristic talk. He called the plumb- ers millionaires, he said, because J, P. Mor- gan did. He joked the delegates about the high prices they charged and concluded by telling them they were the jolllest crowd he had been one of for many a day. The mayor was at his best. Willlam Merrick, president of the Inter- matlonal association, made a short talk on the benefits of the union and paid many compliments to the Omaha local and to the Omaha people. He was followed by Edward Rosewater, at whom the toastmaster had thrown many bouquets in introducing. Mr. Rosewater stated that he did not know why he had been Introduced into a plumbers' union in such a way, unless it was that he had always been a pipelayer. Mr. Rose- water then referred to labor organizations and the interest that he had taken in them County Jailer Thomas Flynn congratu- lated the members of local No, 16 that the | best and most prominent citizens of the city were its guests, and spoke at length of the stand Mayor Moores had always taken for the workingmen and for organized labor. He was followed by various local speakers, all of whom were well received and heartily applauded. The committee who had the banquet in charge was composed of P. T. Green, A. C Kugel, Grandeene, D. P.

Late in the afternoon reports of committees were read. These, mostly, were in regard to the condition of the various locals through- out the country. Since the last convention seventy new locals have been organized and 3,000 new members have been taken into the assoclation, The benefit clause provides that a certain amount of money be paid to a member who is incapacitated for work by injury or sick- ness. A member who has been in the organ- years of age, by this section of the constitu- tion will receive a yearly pension. “This clause,” sald President Merrick, “is a ver¥ Important part of the constitution. It not only means much to the members Individually, but it means much to the or- ganization as a whole. It will be the means of increasing our membership and it will encourage members to remain in the or- ganization. 1 consider it very important and very: essentlal to the unions. business a man is Mable to accident any time, and there should be something for his protection. And then, after & man fol- lows this business for twenty years, it is | not infrequent that he is broken down in health and unable to“work, for it takes a strong, active man to do the work."” Today the convention will take up the nationalization work and and will hear the reporis of as many committees as possible. It is likely, though it is not assured, that the work of the convention will be com- pleted by Saturday evening. The last work of the convention will be the eléction of officers. This evening the delegates will be entertained at Labor temple.
