L REV. EINER CHANGES NIND Decides Ho Will Run Tab'tha Home With- out Oatside Interference. ANYONE IS AT L!BERTY TO INVESTIGATE State Fair Exhibits All in Place and Ready for the Reception of Vis- ftors Bright and Early Monday Morning. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 5.—(Special.)—The char- ity organization will not name the board of directors of the Tabitha home as announced this morning. Rev. Heiner will continue to conduct the home as he has in the past and he will do so without the ald or consent of the charity organization. After a meeting of the charity commit- tes Rev. Helner and his board of directors yosterday evening it was announced by a member of the investigating committee that Rev. Heiner had agreed to allow the committes to approve a board of twenty members to be selected by him for the future management of the home. This morning Rev. Helner sald he had decided after consultation with his attor- neys to tell the charity organization to mind fts own business and he would not allow it to meddls with his so far as ap- pointing a board of managers was con- ocerned. “I have decided to run my own busi- ness,” sald Rev. Helner, “and not turn over to the city charity organization what it has taken me fifteen years of hard work to butld. I do not fear the report that the investigating committee has had hanging over my head for so long. If the com- mittes wants to publish it all right. I would rather the members would make a clear statement of what they have against my conduct of the home than to keep cir- culating their insinuations. I am tired of that and do not intend to stand it any They can publish it when they but I do not intend to be held up any more. But what the committee pub- lishes it must be able to prove, for I shall hold them responsible for anything that 1s untrue. I do not fear the truth.” Rev. Heiner sald the charity committes made him a proposition that if he would allow its members to name a board of di- rectors to control the home, keeping him #s superintendent, they would not publish the report of their investigation. He sald he agreed to consult his attorney and then #ive them an answer later. Before consult- ing the attorney Mr. Helner began to think that the charity assoclation had no right 1o run his business. Then visions of losing his home and seeing the charity assoclation conducting it was too much for him and before seeing the lawyer he had about con- cluded to tell the charity organization to mind its own business, No Objection to Investigation. “If the charity organization wants any more investigation it can get it by going to the proper authorities and having them do it. The members of this committes have been dragging along here for two months and then come at me with & propo- sition that if I will give them the man- agement of the home they will not publish what they know of Its conduct. That smacks too much of blackmail for me. I don't object to any fair and impartial in- vestigation. Five years ago rumors were flying thick and fast that the home was being mismanaged and an Investigation was held then and I was exonerated. ““Mr. Prevey is the only member of that committee that has visited the home more than once; two members visited it once and the others never have been in the home. It would be fmposstble for them to Mnd out anything about the home in that way. I invite any one that thinks the home is not being properly managed to come there and remain for & week. Then he can tell whether it is or not. “This committee had six of the inmates before it to testity and not one of them #aid o word. Maud Lewis, whose neighbors oclaimed had been so mistreated, testified before the board that she was well fed, well clothed and well cared for while in the home. Her nelghbors said Maud's body was bent and curved, due to her hard work in the home. The truth is that we took the girl when an infant. She was born with a curved spine and her body was always bent. She ran away from us, so she testified before the committee, because #ome of her friends had left the home and that made her lonesome and dissatisfied. Bince that time she has visited us three times and recently she gave Mrs. Heiner & present upon the occasion of her birth- :'yn. She s a regular contributor to the e, paying each month a small portion of her earnings.” Mrs. Helner and Rev. Clark, who Is a member of the board of managers, talked along the same line as Rev. Helner. “I have been at the home every day," said Mr. Clark, “and I have never yet seen anything that was not just proper. The inmates are contented and well treated and & more healthy lot of people will not be found anywhere." The board of directors of the home had a meeting later and decided to run the place independent of the charity organization. The board will be enlarged and everything possible will be done to make the home a success Not Hoatlle to Heiner. Mr. Prevey of the investigating board sald Rev. Helner had agreed to the ap- pointment of the new board and conse- quently the report of the committee would mot be made public. “It is not our inten- tion to approve a board that would be op- posed to Heiner or his interests,” he sald. “The board we would approve would be favorable to Helner if it should ever come to a partisan vote. “The first intimation we had that things were not right at the home was through B. P, Wiese, an employe who came to us. Then we began to hear rumors and others began to ask us about the home. We then went to Mr. Heiner and told him of these reports and he readily consented to an investigation. We had no legal right to investigate the home, but we wanted to know if the reports we had were correct 80 that we could tell people who applied o us about the home. We have no thought of injuring the home and are willing to do what we can to asslst it, it it is con- @Qucted properly.” In discussing Welse, Rev. Helner sald he | ‘was the only person at the home who had Never give up! y Not while you can buy Ayer’s Sarsaparillé. e ever mistreated any inmate and it was for this reason that he was discharged. In the meantfme sentiment in Lincoln Is somewhaf divided with the greater per cent In favor of Rev. Heiner against the investigating committes. The people who have expressed themselves say that if the committee found anything wrong with the home it was its place to say so and not hold it over the head of the superintendent to compel him to relinquish his conduct of his own business. In a morning paper here today Mr. Prevey gave out this in- terview, which, he said, was all he cared to say now. It read: “The committee of the charity organiza- tion soclety which has been Investigating the matter request the public to withhold judgment regarding the published rumors. The committee has evidence on which its Judgment Is based, but asks the public not to be hasty In judgment.” While Mr. Prevey sald he did not mean it that way, most people believe the talk to mean that the committee has more evi- dence up its sleeve than was published yes- terday. Second Day of Fair. The mecond day of the state fair was just g busy as the first, with thE result that Monday when visitors are admitted there will be nothing left to do but see the sights, for they will all be in place. Mrs. Devernux, one of the women in charge of the exhibits, said: ‘“The exhibit this year is the nicest of any year yet, and I have helped take care of it for several years. The things are newer and prettier and very little of the old work, and by that I mean things that were exhibited last year have not been returned this year. This is very gratifying, because when the articles are handled they soon become Yolled and this year the things are crisp apd new." In Mercantile hall all of the local mer- chants have their window decorators at work and things are belng unloaded rapdly, some of the booths being all completed Agricultural hall {s a thing of beauty for those who enjoy seeing farm products, and the exhibits are coming In faster than any of the others. The superintendent sald this morning that the exhibitors were all pleased with their places and that all of the coun- ties that had asked for space had sent in thelr exhibits with the exception of Keith county, pected. In the center of this hall is the Canadian exhibit, which fs attracting con- siderable attentior for the reason that the grain exhibited is unusually large. Shows on Monday. The different shows will begin on Monday and the Midway will be in full swing. The dining halls are serving meals to hundreds of people, for the fresh air one encounters there does away with any dyspepsia or other disease detrimental to one's appetite. There are so many restaurants on the main street that it has begn designated “Hungry Row.” Over at the race track the carpenters are finishing new bleachers which will easily accommodate 1,000 people. Interest in the races Is so great that this step was deemed advisable by the manag: ment. A light shower to lay the dust on the track would be very acceptable just at present. In spite of this, though, the track Is in good condition and the horse owners exercise their pets there dally. The horse barns are well filled and the coming of Cresceus has caused the board to fix up the first boxstall near the barns for the trotter and this has been whitewashed throughout. There will be other finishing touches and he will be well received as far as handsome quarters are concerned. Cresceus will arrive on Sunday afternoon and will be taken to the grounds at once. Buperintendent Flick scid this mornin; “The exact time for Cresceus’' appearance has not yet been decided upon. It will be some time Tuesday afterncon, possibly at 8 or 8:30 o'clock. . His runaing horse will be ‘Mike the Tramp,' a horse that always runs with him. If there should be a high wind he will not run till later in the after- noon. It all depends on the weather, The; wiil be one or two other heats before he races.” Big Machinery Exhibit. The machinery exhibit is immense, and on that part of the ground nothing is in sight except corn shellers, plows, reapers and such like. The exhibit of buggles and carriages 1s as good as any previous year, and not a few are interested in the die- play of farm wagzons. One of the firms dealing in machinery has a permanent bullding on which $3,600 has recently been expended. Down at the swine barns one hears the grunting of many pigs, and the sheep can be seen in their quarters. They are distinctly more lamblike than the swine. In one corner of Agricultural hall is the exhibit of the’ state university ex- perimental farm, and there are also many different kinds of woods. number of stuffed animals, which are re- garded with curlosity by all, particularly the children. In Horticultural hall fruits and flowers are to be seen. The apples are particnlarly inviting, and Mr. Christy, who has charge of the Nemaha county exhibit, says he will have fresh strawber- ries on exhibition by Tuesday. This, how- ever, does not mean that the general pub- llc wiil be served with strawberries and cream. The falr, taken as a whole, is something that the Nebraska people have reason to be proud of. If any other state can beat the exhibits they have yet to show Nebraska. If the weather is fair there will be nothing lacking in any way. Enjoins Telephone Company. The first interruption the Lincoln Tele- phone company has had since it secured its franchise to enter this city came this morning in the nature of an Injunction. Mr. and Mrs. Fred DeWitt of 1022 J street got out the writ to prevent the company from placing & pole in front of their resi- dence. In front of the DeWitt place are already two poles, and thfs ome would make three less than sixteen feet part. ghey claim that such a proceeding would cut off thelr view, would prevent free access to thelr yard, and In other ways dama their property. The company claims the placing of the pole would do nothing of the kind. That it wouldn't hurt their view and. would not hinder getting At the yard. The company claims the family want the pole on another man's lot, and this is {mpossible.

Sherift Jones was down-town about noon, and when he came back he found that young Shaffer was missing. Shaffer's mother, who had come down on the morning train to visit him, suggested that he might be down by the track in hiding, and the sheriff im- mediately struck out for the track. He was found late In the afternoon near the track, where it is supposed he was walting for a train. Sheriff Jomes will probably take him to the reform school in a day or two.

I wish to secure 300 or 400 barrels of the very best apples grown in Nebraska to { place In cold storage, for exhibition next summer during the Loulslana Purchase Ex- position at St. Louls. The apple crop in Nebraska this year i8 not only very light, but the quality of the fruit is poor also. Under the circumstances it will be ex- tremely difficult to give a falr exhibition of Nebraska's resources as a frult-growing state. For this reason I wish to solicit the hearty co-operation of every grower of fruit in the state.. Would be glad to hear at once from anyone having from one to fifty barrels of extra good apples. In writ- ing, please give a list of varieties, their general condition and the time of ripen- ing. I will pay fancy prices for extra fancy fruit. Address all communications to Br- nest M.
