THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, N OVEMBER 29, 1903 MORE ATTORNEYS IN CASE Btrest Railway end Omaba Bu'iness Men Get Int> Revenue Litigaticn. WEBSYER AND MAHONEY THEIR ATTORNEYS Indications Now Are that Case Will 2 Not Be Arguel Tuesday and No Declsion Expected ax Early as Middle of Month, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. %.—(Speéfal)—The at- tacking party in the revenue law case now before the supreme court has been reln- fore-d by John L. Webster, at the instunce of the Omahi Bte.t Rilway company, and T. J. Mahoney at the request of the business men of Omaha. As yei, however, neither the:e (wo men nor the other at- torneys f.r tae 1espondeats fa ihs cus: have fled a brief. Attorney General Frout stated last night that as he had, lLeen so busy with other matters it was probable that he would' not fiie a brief, as the time of the hea Ing was 80 near. Because of this It Is the belief now that the case will be pasted over at (his s tting of the court to allow the attorneys for the respordents more (ime in which to prepars for the fssue. Should Mahoney and Web- ster got their briefs flled by Tuesday, the day Wet for the hearing, It would not give Senator Pemberton, C..C. Wright or Attor= ney General Prout, who are defending the iaw, any time whatever to lcok up authori- ties or rebut the argument. For this rcas it is almost a safe prediction to say that the case will be passed over. This, how- ever, would work a hardship, inasmuch as it would not be probable that the opinfon would be handed down before the 1ith of the month, at which tims the Board of Equalization created under the new law meets for the first time to transact busi- ness. Warrant for Whitmarsh Girl. A warrant was lssuea today for the ar- rest of Miss Edith Whitmarsh, aged 16, and who lives at 927 North Ninth street, on the charge of grand larceny. Detective Bent- ley went to Omaha In company with Theo- dore Johnson to serve the papers and get tho girl, who is now being held by the po- Tico at that place. The specifics charge s that she stole goods to the value of $200 from the Famous millinery store, Including a large quantity of silk, laces, plumes, etc. Her rooms in the city were searched ye terday and a considerable quantity of the goods found. Others, it is claimed, were pawned and sold in Omaha. A short time ago she made a trip to Omaha in company with Theodore Johnson, the man who was arrested this morning as a suspicious char- acter, supposed to have been one of the men who did the hold-up act last night. Thoy ran away to get married, but the plan was interfered with by the girl's father, Nelson L. Whitmarsh, who asked the Omaha police to arrest them. It was Btated In the dispatches at the time that the couple had been found in a rooming house together, occupying the same room. The girl had pawned part of her clothes to obtain money for the coming marriage celebration. It is pow charged that most of the goods she pawned there was stuff she had taken from the ‘store in Lincoln while she was emloyed there as a trimmer, Johnson confessed to the police this morn- ing that they had pawned a good deal of Stuff and It has been learned .that be tald the girl he would take her to St. Louls oh the money they obtained. The girl was taken to the Home of the Good Shepherd in Omaba, where she has remalned ever since. Bhb was only employed at the Famous stére about ‘a “mofith, but’it s estimated that in Yhat time she‘got away with over $200 worth of goods. Over half of the stuft was found In her room at her bome at 927 North Ninth street, and it is thought that considerable of the rest will be found in the pawnshops in Omaha. Mr. Ackerman, proprietor of the Famous, said this afternoon that they missed goods all the time the girl was there and that she was finally discharged because It was thought she was-taking the stuff, but the evidence at the time was not sufficient to Justity them In making a scarch or acous- ing her of the theft. The girl has always borne a good reputation and it is said by those who know her that Johnson s re- spdhsible for her downfall. Involee at Soldiers’ Home. C. C. Husted of the governor's office ha: Just returncd from a trip to Grand Island, where he spent some time In making an inventory of the state property at the Sol- diers’ and Sailors' home, preparatory to making a transfer to Commandant-elect Askwith of Omaha. Mr. Husted stated that he found everything in excellent condition, that he belleved there were no grounds for the charge that the stock was permitted to run down Iu condition. On the large farm 192 head of cattle are kept, and he found that they were in good condition. The carrlage which was sald to have been permitted to fall in decay, Mr. Husted says, is nothing but an old carryall Which s fast sinking into decrepitude through the ravages of time and will have to be replaced. He does not belleve that the charges made against Cole's manage- ment were justified, Linnemann Deeldes to Contest. WEST POINT, Neb.

" Loss HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. 28 —(Bpecial.)— When the dog “Pal” died at the city hall this week it was another instance among animals of death because of grief. adopted by the boys of the fire department about twe years ago and was a favorite among them None of them claimed a ETeater zest for fighting the fire flend than Pal, and when the alarm rang the dog be- came greatly agitated, and was to be ap- peased only when the hose cart went rattling toward the flames. He always kept a close and silent watch until the flames were subdued. Meanwhile a strong mutual friendship had ‘sprung up between Pl and one of the department horres, Dave. 80 well did these two understand each other that Pal would | often crawl into Dave's stall and remain | there for an hour or more visiting appar- ently with as much enjoyment as human beings. It was by Dave's side that Pal hced t8the fires. About a year ago Dave was deemed unfit for service and sold and taken away. From the day of his departure his friend Pal began to moan. He would look longingly into the stall of his departed comrade and at night howled disconsolately. Gradually he ceased to take Interest in fires until at last he did not leave the engine ho His whines at times were pitiful and he ate but little and was coming to be a mere shadow of the old Pal. Farly this week he dled of grief, and the firemen are mourning his | death as that of a true friend.

Ben- ator Dietrich says he has made a number of concessions to Senator Millard In the hope that the latter/ would receds from his #tand In favor of the reappo.ntment of W. 8.

When | Senator Diettich came up from Hastings | during the afternoon he was asked wbout this matter and re:med to be rather amazed that Senator Millard rhould have made the announcement. He admits the truth of a compact, but insists that he has | withdrawn from it. “Well," sald Senator Dietrich, “‘that con- | cession was made under conditions that no longer exist. It is true 1 had conceded to Senator Millard the nominating of the United States marshal, but I did that as I hhd practically conceded Ben Baker, Curzen and Ben Barrows. These appointments were all vonceded at Senator Millard’s personal | request, but with a great deal of reluctance, A few months ago 1 also told Senator Mil- lard that he might name the United States marshal, but cll those concesefons were made for the purpose of trying to Induce | him to concede not only to mysclf, but to | tho republican party of Nebraska, the ap- | pointment of Harry Lindsay as United States attorney. Now, I have decided to withdraw from that compact and hereafter 1 propose to act according to my best judg- ment."” “What about the appointment of the col- lector of Nebraska, which Mr. Millard says was conceded to you scon after the sena- tors were clected?” “This was no concession to me.

Now and then it happens that an arrant braggart overreaches Limsel? in bis effor's to appear important, and only succeels in making himself ridiculous. This 15 exactly the position in which the seni“r Omaha yellow journal finds itself at present. With its customary effrontery and men- Cacity, it has been taking to itself all kinds of credit for good deeds in connection with the terrible cata:trophe of Thursday mo™n- ing, its latest claim being that through its columns Mrs. Goldborough was first up- prised of her husband's fate. Going very minutely Into the circumstances of how Mrs. Goldborough was at the grocery on that morning and talkel with the grocer about the dinner the and he: husband would have together, the World-Herald proceeds: However, when she had arrived at her home, 1956 Eouth Twelfth street, the found a copy of the morulng World-"{erald and read the account of the flie while she w's standing upcn the porch. Then ihe par. els fell unhecdea from her arms and she ned away to the engine house. That wouldn't be of any especial publie !mportance, even If it were true; but the ©cold, fconoclastic facts In the case are that if Mrs. Goldsborough did' find a World- Herald on her doorstep when she went home, she didn't find a word about the fire in it. And even If she bad come up town and bought one of the alleged extra editions put out by that publication she wouldn't have found her husband's name mentioned. On the morning of the fire the Warld- Herald sent out a special big edition which did not contain & word or syllable about the conflagration.
