Almost instantly the room was in a blaze. Ennis jumped trom the window into the alley, though not until the fire had severely scorched his face and singed bis hair and eyebrows.

OMAHA, June 0.—To the Editor of The Bee: Too much notice has been given to what occurred at Auburn, Neb., during the encampment of the high school cadets. I desire to say that I fully endorse all that my son did in connection with the man- agement of the dance glven at the Auburn opera house Tuesday afternoon. The pres- ence of some of Omaha's representative daughters accompanied by their mothers is sufficient evidence to me that thede were “others” who could not distinguish any baneful effects that would grow from their attendance. The hearty and cordial support glven to the boys by Mayor Dillon and the city au thorities of Auburn, golng so far as to elect Commanding Wassels and his detail of soldiers from the bullding, also bears out the fact that the boys stood in good repute. A. H. Waterhouse and Commandant Was- sels, it seems, were the only ones out of “harmony.” The decided stand taken by the members of the High School Cadet band in their refusal to play unless their leader was restored to his offictal position again bears out the fact that Cadet Sutphen is not wholly bad. Newspaper accounts heretofore pub- lished would lead the public to believe that the band was sent home In disgrace; the truth being fourteen members of the band had supper at Byer's hotel Tuesday evening, Cadet Sutphen being their host. A. H. Waterhouse used every contemptible means possible to break up the boys' pleas- ure even going 80 far as to get out an attachment on the instruments on which the boys were playing. He discovered in time his inability to make proper seryice of the writ and withdrew, and last, but not least, late In the evening when every- thing was supposed 1o be over and ended, Commandant Wassels and a detall of cadets | put in an appearance at the Byer's hotel and for the second time placed C. J. Sut- phen and Ralph West under arrest. In 0 doing he exceeded his authority. From my point of view Commandant Wassels had no jurisdiction outside of the encampment; as evidence of this he relinquished the “prisoner” Sutphen on my demand that he do so. This occurred on the streets of Auburn The withholding of my son's diploma by reason of his conduct at Auburn is mo more than can be expected from so narrow minded an individual as A. H. Waterhouse. The ovation my son received Friday even- ing at the graduating exercises at the Or- pheum demonstrated to my satisfaction that he is not so bad after all. I am taking legal steps to see whether or not this diploma can be withheld €. D. SUTPHEN. | i CALL FOR BAR CONVENTIO Attorneys Want to Forestall Nominations by the Political Parties. SAID TO BE IN DEMOCRATIC INTEREST Meeting Will Be Held at Two O'clock in the After- e in Omahs noon of Tuesday, J 30, Next. In response to a written request by the members of the executive council of the Omaha Bar assoclation, its president, John L. Kennedy, yesterday lssued a call for a meeting of the bar of the entire Fourth judicial district to take action with refer- ence to the nomination of candidates for district fudge to be voted on at the coming election. 'The call reads as follows: r'o Bar of the Fourth Judiclal District of ebrasta: Under and In pursuance of & animous vote of the executive counc! A maha Bar assoolation, taken June 18, ana the written request of ‘sald council, this day presented to me, 1 hereby call a meeting of the bar of the Fourth judicial district, to be held in court room No. 1 in the ity of Omaha, on Tuesday, June 30, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of ex- pressing the choice of the bar of the dls- trict with respect to candidates for judges, to be nominated by the respective politic: parties at the approaching conventior Bnd voted upon by the people at the elec tion this fall OHN L. KENNEDY, Dated June 20, 1803. President. While the steps that have led up to this call have been kept under the hat as much as possible, it is learned that the council decided on this line of action at a meet- ing held Thursday. The executive council consists of J. H. McIntosh, W, D. Me- | ley and John W Parrish, and although it is sald to have been unanimous, it is noted that the first three are democrats and the last two bolting republicans. It is also sald that many of the bar outside of the men who have actively interested them- selves in the matter are opposed to the jar taking the initiative in the nomination of judges. An attorney who Is fairly con- versant with the facts explains the si tion in this language What the Plan Contemplates. “The plan is to have the bar make out- right nominations for all seven places on the district bench. The democrats have recognized the hopelessness of any at- tempt on their part to elect a democratic judicial ticket and are, therefore, using this means to get representation on a ticket which might give them one or two places in consideration of supporting the other candidates endorsed by the bar. Some of the attorneys here would prefer to walt untl'after the various political con- ventions have made thelr nominations and then to make up a bar ticket.out of the best timber presented by the respective parties. It is & question whether both republicans and democrats can be induced to nominate the men that we may select in advance, and should they leave any of our candidates without their own party nominations, they would be high and dry with Mttle chance of election. The call for Hugh, Warren Switzler, Willlam F. Gur-| a bar conventlon, however, has been de- clded upon and that will mean the transfer of the wire pulling from the wards to the members of the bar association. The as- soclation managed to make its cholce count with the governor when there were va- cancles on the bench to be filled and that 1s probably why those behind this move- ment have persuaded themselves that the same Influence would be equally effective with the twe political parties.” The democrats whose names are being mentioned for bar endorsement are E. C. Page and Arthur Wakeley. LOUIS MACHAL DROPS DEAD Succumbs to Heart Disease While Working at His Place of Busines: Louls Machal, saloon keeper, aged %0 years, dropped dead in his place of busi- ness, 44 Bouth Fifteenth street, at 6§ o'clock yesterday afternoon, presumably of heart disease. The remains were taken to the rooms of the coroner and an inquest will be held. The dead man leaves a widow, residing at 1014 South KEleventh street, and a brother, who resides in Iowa. Machal had been sick in bed at his home for some time with rheumatism of the heart and, against the advice of his phy: clan, went to his saloon shortly before his death. Upon his arrival there he attended to the wants of customers for some time and then walked toward the rear of the buflding. As he stepped through the door leading from the bar room into a rear |room he suddenly fell to the floor. | Employes of the saloon at once went to |his assistance and called Police | MacDiarmid, but Machal had died in- {stantly. Coroner Brailey was notified and {had the remains taken to the morgue The dead man had been a resident of | Omaha for ten years and was popular and well liked by & large circle of friends. For some time he had tended bar for Ru- dolph MHavelks, from whom about two years ago he purchased the saloon in which | he dled DATE FOR TRADE EXCURSION 1 Club Wil Southwestern Iowa July 9, 10 and 11, Commere Travel in The date for the excursion into southwestern fowa has been definitely set as July 9, 10 and 11.

When the Rock Island made a round trip rate from Missour! river points to Indlan- apolis of $10 the other roads compelng were forced to look out for tneir own g§ood and the outbreak of a serious rate war is looked for by passenger officlals almost any day. The last step taken in the Western Pas- senger assoclation toward the lowering of rates is a proposition presented by one of the roads to make a 2-cent a mile rate for | parties of ten or more between points in | Ilinols and Missour! territory, which are more than 20 miles apart. The rate pre- vious to this has been 214 cents a mile when the parties had ten and less than twenty in theln, with the exception of certain citles in Kansas and St. Louls, wnere the 2-cent rate held. The association is now considering the proposition of having an interchangcable mileage book of 2,000-mile size.
