v 4 THE BEE: { DR. LEAL COMING TO OMAHA ‘Water Company Has Called New Jer- sey Expert. WILL ARRIVE HERE ON FRIDAY Experiments with Chlorination Are to Be Undertaken at Once and Loeal § Mealth Department 1s to Co-Operate. . M. Falrfield, general manager ot the Omaha Water company, savs arranged to have Dr. Leal of Jersey City, N. J., start experimenting with his sya- tem to purify the local water supply, at onee. “We have arranged to have Dr. Leal apply his chlorination system to the water wupply amd he Is expected to arrive In b maha Friday,” €ald Mr. Fairfield. “Dr. Leal 1Is the expert who has achieved much success in bacterial removal at Jersey City and other places, and s to work In conjunction’ with the health department In making simflar de- monstrations with the Missour! river water. “Although convinced that the typhoid in Omaha s due to other causes than the clty water, 1 realize the necessity of al- laying any suspicion in the minds of water users by reducing the bacterial unit to the lowest possible figdre. If all bacterla are removed, there should be nothing left to worry about. No Typhold North of Florence, “It will be of interest to Bee readers to know that a thorough search of the coun- try north of Florence reveals no typhold. This Investigation, made last month, ex- tends ten or twelve miles up the river on both sides and along streams tributary to the Missourl and ho tases of typhold was found. Four or five cases were reported in or near Florence during the winter, but as none of the patients was {ll more than a very fow days, in two cases not even a doctor being called, the conclusions Is in- evitable that it could not have been ty- phold. “As to the conditions along the East Omaha coast as depicted in an evening paper, I have only to say that for years the eity has been fouling its own nest by permitting, that dumping ground to exist. “For years the Water company has pro- tested, but without avall. The excuse has always been the same as the present one, that before high water comes the worst has been removed. Even if contamination from this source has been hitherto escaped, Wwe cannot expect the miracle to repeat itself indefinitely.

Swope Gives Deposition Mother of Mrs. Hyde Tells of Colonel Swope's Eccentricities—Still Be- lieves in “Yarb” Man. KANSAS CITY, March 3.—After weeks of delay, occasioned by squabbles between attorneys and her presence before the grand jury, Mrs. Logan O. Svope, the gulding hand in the investigation of the Swope mystery, today gave her deposition in Dr. B. C. Hyde's slander suit against John G. Paxton, an executor for the Thomas H. Swope estate. There was little sensational testimony in Mrs, Swope's story. In fact it was hardly |as interesting a deposition as had been [ expected, considering the hard fight that Dr. Hyde's attorneys have made for it With twinkling eyes and many smiles for her son-in-law’'s attorneys Mrs. Swope told of the eccentricities of Colonel Swope, and then, with all seriousness expressed her confidence In Chasses Hatred Chase Jor- dan, the swarthy “yarb” man who in elght years has received between $10,000 and $20,- 000 for “doctoring’* the Swopes. While Mrs. Swope was telling her story a deputy sheriff in Wyandotte county, Kansas, was searching for the herb spe- clalist, for whom he had a warrant charg- ing Jordan with practicing medicine with- out a license. The warrant was secured by James Meek, | asststant prosecuting attorney of Wyan- | dotte county, atter the State Board of Med- fcal Registraton and Examination had made complaint agalnst Jgrdan. Jordan was found at his home Jjl, and as a result the warrant was not served today. A. C. Smith, a drug salésman, also test|- fled in Dr. Hyde's sult today. He told of solling pllls to Jordan that contained bella- donna and acetanalide. But regardless of all Jordan's troubles Mrs, Swope belleves in him. She is still “doctoring” with him. Thus she testifled today. She also testified that Mrs. B. C. Hyde, who precipitated the investigation of the “doctor,” also had confidence in him at one time. “Francls Hyde, sald Mrs. Swope, epeaking of her daughter, “was just as well pleased as any of us when Jordan cured me.” Colonel Swope, according to Mrs. Swope, was extremely eccentric. Constantly fear- ing death, he had talked of his demise for years before the end came. For twenty- five years he drank, becoming “tipsy,” as she expressed it, during the latter part of each afternoon. Ho suffered greatly from stomach trouble, untll & short time before his death, when he appeared to improve. in Packing House Output Smaller Figures for Winter Work Show Two and Three-Quarter Million Less than Last Year.

English to the stand. Mr. Eng- lish with J. J. Sulllvan is conducting the case for the helrs. The questions asked the county attorney bore on his relations with the Cathollc church as an attorney. “You have performed varlous legal ser- vices for Bishop Scanhell?” was one ques- tion. Mr. English answered that he had, and in reply to another question stated that he had drawn up Incorporation papers for a number of parishes of the Omaha dlocese. “You are generally considersd the at- torney for Bishop Scannell?” “I am not under retainer as such,” was the answer. Other questions asked bore upon Eng- Msh's retention by the heirs, which he testitied was after the agreement had been signed among them by which Miss Grace Connor was to share equally with several blood relatives, Father McGovern Star Witnens. The proponents' trump. card in the suit was played In the testimony of Rev. P. A. McGovern, pastor of St. Peter's church. Father McGovern told the jury that a few days before Mr. Connor's death he had been called to the house by Mrs. Ellen O'Connor, sister of Joseph A. Connor, and asked to interrogate Mr. Connor about his temporal affairs. Father McGovern testiied that he did so and that Mr. Connor answered, “It's over there in the desk,” meaning his will. By this testimony, with that of Rev. J. C. Buckley to the same effect, though at a much earlier date, the proponents hope to convince the jury that Mr. Connor himself ald not destroy the absent will. The position of the proponents is this: Assume that the will was in existence when Mr. Connor died and it Is therefore In effect. Its terms are learned from the copy offered in evidence. The proponents are under the necessity of breaking down the presumption that the will not having been discovered after Mr. Connor's death, it was destroyed by him. On this point bears the evidence of the Te- spondents that Mr. Connor up to the last minute expected to recover, to resume active business and perchance to draw up a new will, Father McGovern was cross-questioned at length by Judge J. J. Sullivan, who sought to show that the priest broke Mr. Connor's confidence in telling immediate members of the household what Mr. Con- nor had sald to him. Other questions were put by which it was sought to indicate to the jury that as the parish priest of St. Peter's, the witness had an interest in the provision of the will which left an endow- ment for parochial schools. IS COVERT A TAXPAYER? Question Arises to Right Worker to Enjoin Operatt of Court House. Doubt has arisen whether Percy ¥. Covert, plaintiff in the injunction sult against Caldwell & Drake, I8 a taxpayer, as Covert asserts in his petition he is. The records In the office of the county assessor fail to show that Mr. Covert has within the last two years made any return on either real or personal property. John O. Yelser, Covert's counsel, “thinks" Mr. Covert has pald personal taxes, but is not sure about the matts “It he is not,” sald Yelser, * stitute someone élse Who is. The suit to enjoln the court house con- tractors is not regarded very seriously by the representatives of the firm. One thing is certain, there will be no immediate hear- ing upon the matter. A restraining order is not prayed for and thé case is on' the regular equity call, where it will not come up for some weeks.
