Judge Pound Resigns. Judge Roscoe Pouffd today filed his resig- nation as a member of the Supreme Court commission with the clerk of the district | court. It is dated September 14 and takes effect today. Judge Pound was recently elected dean | re- whereby he belleyes the state would save many thousands of dollars annually in the purchase of supplles for state institutions were It to be adopted. Mis plan Is to have the Btate Board of Purchase and Supplies aceept the lowest bld on the several Items in the various bids Instead of making the contract in bulk. It was his intention to take the matter up with the board during the meeting today, &nd he may have done #0, but as the meeting was behind closed dours the state will have to wait until the clerks complle the records before it will be made public. The supplies for the Institutions are bought quarterly on the est'mate of the management of the varlous Institutions, and it has been custqmary in the past for the contractors to bid low on those things that are included on the estimate, but which their experience teaches them will bu called for only in small quantities, if at all, and place higher prices on those articles of which much will be used. The total then would be smaller than those bids that called for legitimate prices on &li the goods, while the cost to the state may be many hundreds of dollars in excess of what it wou'd have been had the lowest bld by items been accepted Governor Mickey was asked concerning it before the meeting of the board and he was of the opinion that the state was get- ting its goods just as cheap, If not cheaper, than an individual. The board today com- pleted the purchase of supplies for the In- dustrial home at Milford. School Funds All Invested.

MAYOR CALLS COUNCIL IN SESSION I MAKES QuICK T'ME TO PRISON Western is There Step Toward President of Gr and fns First ng Terminal Con- cesxlons. issued a the council recelve Mayor Moores yesterday meeting of 4 In the afternoon to place on first and second readings an ordinance vacating certain streets and alleys and making other arrangements for the Chicago Great Western terminals be- tween Leavenworth and Plerce streets and Sixteenth and Twentieth. This was done at and | after President Stickney had explained how he proposed to construct the terminals and treight house and all that he wanted “I do not ask for other than careful con- sideration of (he ordinance,” he said every day is Important to us as we are pre- vented from dolng any less-than-car-load business in Omaha until we provide our own facilities." Upon suggestions of the council provi- slons were inserted In the ordinance for maintenance of the viaducts and subways and for lighting the same at the expense of the rallroad. The freight house will be to the west of the Sixteenth street viaduct midway be- tween Mason and Leavenworth strects. The rallroad will grade Sixteenth street to a minimum and pave between the freight depot and Leavenworth street. The ordinance was prepared and placed In the hands of City Attorney Wright yes- terday. Among other things it provides for a viaduct on Mason street, between Nineteenth and Twentleth, and a subway at Plerce street, between the same thor- oughfares. The viaduct is to be thirty feet wide, of frame construction, to be made permanent of steel and other ma- terfals, similar to the Sixteenth street bridge, at the end of five years. The Plerce street subway will have a clearance of thirteen feet. Much grading will be necessary for the terminal tracks as planned, and provision is made for the rallroad to bear all expenses of changes in sewers resultant. Streets to Be Vacated. Streets to be vacated as set forth in the ordinance are parts of Sixteenth west of the viaduct, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth, all between Leavenworth und Mason. With the exception of Nineteenth it 1s stipulated that the vacation may be as far south as the road buys land on both sides of the streets. At present it owns all land adjacent to the parts of streets that are to be put out of commission. The Unlon Pacific yards shut off Seven- teenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets at about Plerce. The Great Western in- tends to branch off from the Union Pacific at Twentieth south of Pierce and make the terminal tracks describe a more or less true quarter of a circle running north be- tween Twentieth and Nineteenth to Mason, then cutting northeasterly in the blocks north of Mason through Nineteenth, Eight- eenth and Seventeenth, ending under the viaduct not more than half a block from Leavenworth street. A continuous strip of land about half a block wide has been purchased for the entire distance. ¥rom the owners of property lying in two large blocks between Nineteenth and 8 x- teenth and south of Mason street to the Unfon Pacific tracks and outside and ad- jacent to the right of way, a loud protest, it is sald, will come. The ordinance is drawn In the name of the “Mason City & Fort Dodge Railroad company,” that being the corporate name of the branch of the Great Western which has bullt from Fort Dodge, Ia., to Omaha.

THEORY OF FOUL PLAY ADVOCATED Post-Mortem Examination Shows Two @ Which Might Reclining on a little cot in a small room, just in the rear of the main office, the life- less body of George Blaine, an old and trusted employe of C. B. Havens & Co., coal dealers, 1409 Webster street, was found shortly afier 7 yesterday morning. Ap- parently Blaine had been dead several hours when discovered. He was found by Samuel Druse, a young man who had just been employed as teamster and was going to work Foul play is the theory of the death post mortem examination held by Dr. vender disclosed that deceased had two fractures of the skull on the right side suf- ficlent to have caused hemorrhage of the brain which evidently produced death. A short plece of pine wood avas found in Blaine's room, but there was no blood on it nor was there any sign that it had been used to hit him with. A ybung man named J. Delehanty, who says he is employed at the Hayes feed store, was the last one to see Blaine as far as is now known Thurs- day night and he is being held by the po- lice as a witness. The La- How He Was Found. When H. D. Carter, yard foreman, ar- rived at the office at 7 o'clock he found Druse waliting on the sidewalk. Directing him to go around to the west side of the building and open the gate to the scales, Carter unlocked and entered the office by the front door. Druse went around to the west, as directed, and, opening the gate, entered the building from the rear. vancing toward the front office he g into the room occupled by Blaine and saw his lifeless form stretched out on the cot. Blaine's feet were hanging over the side of the cot and touched the floor, his head reclined against the west wall of the room and his mouth and nostrils were filled with clots of blood. Druse immediately called to Carter and together they discovered that he was dead. The police were immediately called in and Coroner Bralley notified and an investigation, which is still in progress, begun. The theory of foul play obtains among those who worked with Blaine. They al- lege that he invariably carried large sums of money about with him, from $300 to $500 in a roll of biils, and Robert James, a driver for the firm, stated that to his knowledge Blaine had considerable money on his person Thursday night. When the body was examined by the coroner 20 cents was all the money found, and that was taken from a vest pocket. Mr. Carter told of the signs of a struggle consisting of a scar on the dead man's head from the temple reaching up into the Copright 190y by BJuppenheimer & Co. Chkago and cost right. included—if you once try Berg-Swanson Co. Stein- Bloch Smart ~ hair on the right side of the head. The left eye, he sald, also was bruised and blacked. Nearly all the employes of the coal com- pany hold to the theory of foul play, claim- ing that Blaine was not a heavy drinker, was inoffensive and attended strictly to his own business, Find Whisky Flask, A pint bottle of whisky was found in Blaine’s room which had probably been purchased from Meyer Keine's saloon, Six- | teenth and California, bearing the stamp of that place; it was also ascertained that he got & cents worth of beer from the saloon of Peter Nelson at the corner of Thirteenth | and Webster. The deceased has a brother residing In the city who Is sald to be in the employ of A. W. Parker company. His name is| James Blaine and with his family he is| sald to reside in the nelghborhood of Twenty-sixth and Decatur. The city directory does not so show. George Blaine, was unmarried and was about 61 years old. He had been in the of the Havens company for about seven years. About a year ago. he | left Omaha and returning during the late strike which involved teamsters, he resumed work as a strike breaker. Robert James spoke to Blaine Wednesday night about carrying so much money around with him. Blalne, he says, replied that there was no danger and that he always had done it and was not alarmed. There was no evidence of a struggle In | Blaine's room. Everything was found in | the usual order in which the place was kept. There was found some evidence that | Blaine had been attacked with nausea dur- ing the night. One Arrest Made. : Chief of Detectives Dunn has a large force of men at work on the Blaine case and has caused the arrest of a colored man names Jeff Bates, who wi about five years ago, convicted, the police say, on- the charge of robbing the deceased of $300. Bates did time in the penitentiary for his | misdemeanor and since his release has been Living in this city. He is held merely | on sufpicion, pending a thorough investi- gation. Coroner Bralley is awalting the action of the police in asking an investiga- tion before calling an inquest. Injuest Will Be Delayed. Coroner Brafley sald last night that he would not hold the Blaine inquest for some time, unless there are new developments in the case. The police will be allowed a day or two in which to collect evidence which can be presented to the jury and will fur- nish some clew as to whether it {s a case of murder | Chiet of Detectives Dlinn remained at his office until a late hour last night outlining the plan of work to be followed in ascer- taining the facts in the case. The chief sald it Is one of the hardest cases which has ever confronted the department. If Blaine had not been in the habit of telling every ond of his possessions it would have made the case much less difficult, but it ap- pears that every man who ever worked with the dead man has been told by him of the cash he possessed and just where he Kept it. At least fifty persons were familiar with his financial affairs. Two or three clews have been unearthed, and will be tollowed up. Held Up by .. BLACKHAWK, 8. D., Oct.
