ALL CAUGHT WITH Such is the Claim of the Special Agents Who Have Been Work- & on the Cases for a Week, Sixteen Omaha saloon men have been before United States Commissioner Ander- son during the last two days to answer for selling liquor’ to Indlans. In each in- stance the accused saloonists have been bound over to the federal grand jury in $600. Those arrested thus far are Oscar W Johnson, Clarence Mason, J. J. Stelcle, John Grodak, A. DeChristenson, George Cackley, Elmer Welmer, J. F. C. Rumohr, Charles Jackson, Ide ‘Cummins, Morris Priceman, John Barcell, Tom Brennan, Joe Christensen and Charles Tibke. The offenses charged against the saloon- ists have been committed during the last week, and are the result of a little detective work on the part of Speclal Agent T. E. Brents of the Department for the Sup pression of the Liquor Tratfic Among In- dians. The government has recently ap- propriated 350,000 for this work, which 1 in charge of ten special of.l.ers, at the head of which is Willlam E. Johnson, chiet special officer, with headquarters at Salt Lake. Chiet Johnson has & large number of ussistants and the work s being vigor- ously prosecuted all through the Indian country. ecial Agent at Work, Bpeclal Agent Brents, formerly deputy marshal for the Indian territory, has been n this work in the Indlan country for & number of years and succeeded in break- 10g up the sale of liguor to Indians In the Indian territory and Oklahoma during the territorial days. He has but recently completed a rald on the saloon men in Sioux City and secured seventy-four arrests ‘and convictions there for the sale of liquor to Indlans. He was assisted In the work here by A. H. Neal, superintendent of the Winnebago and Omaha Indians. The Sioux City saloonists had through the operation of & “Jim crow" ning between Stoux Neb., which was run especially for the boose hunting Indians, succeeded In dolng & thriving business. It was at the Instance 5.8.9.5 THE GOODS | and suggestion of Superintendent Neal that the crusade against the Sioux City saloons was Instituted. A decoy Indlan ‘a8 en- gaged and the rest of the work was easy. The Indlans then discovering that their llquor supplies at Sjoux City were being curtailed transferred their patronage to Omaha. Liquor was easily obtained in Omaha by the Indians, particularly during the recent session of the federal courts, where a number of Indfans were brought hero as witnesses in the various cases. It developed that the Indlans were coaxed into some of the hotels catering to that par- ticular patronage, and were thers piled with liquor, and the result was that many of them found themselves locked up in Jail and penniless. Tries to Break Up Practice. Superintendent Neal determined to break up the practice and called Special Agent Drentz to his ald with a decoy Indian named Lamoreaux of the Shoshoni tribe. Lamo- reaux, through the other Indians, got track of the saloons that were in the habit of selling liquor to Indians in Omaha. The two white officials visited the sa- loons last Monday and Tuesday incognito, and while there Lamoreaux would drop in and buy a bottle of liquor, the officlals being witnesses of the transaction, and then 'Lamoreaux would put his private mark on the label of the bottle of boose and then one of the officlals would inci- dentally drop outside when Lamoreaux wouid hand him the bottle, which would be sampled by the officer and iabeled with & government label, with the history of [ the transaction. In justice to & number of saloons It should be stated that they declined to sell liquor to the Indian, and in other Instances when the saloonist, after a second thought, would call the Indian back and demand the return of the booze, repaying the In- dian his money. Lamoreaux looks ltke a Mexican at first sight, and being dressed in civillan clothes made a good decoy. Special Agent Brents sald: “The pur- pose of this rald against the saloonists ls not & persecution, but it is for the purpose of breaking up the sale of lquor.to In- dians. We have succeeded in doing so in Sloux City and will do so here. In the Sioux City cases the fines ran all the way train run- | City and Walthil, | | from $50 to §200 under the lowa state laws. | The matter of indiscriminate sales of liquor | to Indlans was taken up at the recent mecting of the competency commission, to | examine into the competency of the Omaha Indians to care for themselves, and this commission strongly recommended that| drastic measures should be taken to sup- | press tho trattic | “You have even a more drastic law here THE BEST PRING TONIC Most persons, even those who. are ordinarily strong and healthy, need s $nic and blood purifier in the Spring. Some have no particular ailment, but are weak, debilitated and run-down. Winter life with its decreased amount of out- @oor exercise, and the fact that cold weather has kept the pores of the skin closed, prevented the proper amount of waste and refuse matter from being expelled from the system. These impurities entering the circulation have thinned and ‘weakened the bloed, and the body therefore does not receive a sufficient amount of blood nourishment. Tke general bodily weakness, tired feeling, fickle ap- potite, poor digestion, etc., show how anaemic the blood has become. Frequently #kin diseases, pimples, eruptions, etc., break out and this is evidence of the im- purity of the circulation. 8. 8. 8. is tbe best Spring tonic, because it is the lfllu"f all blood purifiers.

STORIES OF JURY ROOM TOLD Statements of Members of Panel De- clare They Decided “Church Had Enough Property”—Merits Not Constdered. Charges of improper conduct by people Interested in the Connor will cass and charges of improper conduct by members of the jury are made In reven affidavits filed by Smyth, Smith & Schall in district court in suport of a motion for & new trial of the case. These affidavits set forth in detall the alleged improper conduct and will create some stir in district court circles, adding vigor to the feeling which this celebrated will case has engendered in the past. Patrick Duffy, one .of the proponents and an executor under the Connor will of May 15, 1908, s the first affiant. His af- fidavit has to do with the behavior of the relatives during the heariog and he sets up that the relatives, whom he names, occupied a row of chairs on the north side of the court room in view of the jury “and that as the testimony of witnesses was delivered from the stand the con- testants and their friends from time to time showed their approval or disapproval of what was sald by shiles, laughter, srimaces and frowns." The affidavit by Mr. Duffy then turs to Mrs. Mary Lamb and her children and says “that durlng a portion of the argu- ment to the jury Mrs. Lamb took a position in the northeast corner of the room in view of the jury and about thirty feet away; that during a large part of the arguments, and especlally where her testimony was under fire she held her two younger child- Ten on her lap, one on each knee and each having an arm around her neck.” Patrick Gleason makes affidavit to the effect that while C. J. Smyth for the pro- ponents was addressing the jury an old lady got up and walked out toward the door of the court room, saying so that the jury could hear, “He is & liar,” this refer- ring to Mr. Smyth, Several Affidavts. Mr. Smyth makes affidavit to the same effect and then says that the opposing at- torneys, J. J. Sullivan and James P. Eng- lish, represented to the jury that the at- torneys on the other side appeared for the Catholic church. This affiant denles this, saying that his firm was retained by the executors under the will. Hot shot Is fired in the affidavit of an- other member of the same law firm, W. A. Schall, declaring that the children of Mrs, Lamb at practically every recess of. the court played with the jurors. Then Mr. Schall goes on to say that he “observed the attitude, movements and demeanor of the contestants and thelr triends and sympathizers, which were well calculated to appeal to the prejudices of the jury and were the result, s this af- flant belleves, of a well thought out and prearranged plan and scheme to appeal to the sympathles of the jury.” affidavits by members of the jury have bee: filed with the other atfidavits. swears tHat when the jury had retired one man asked how they should vote and that some one sug- gested that they vote for Sulllvan or for “because Bulllvan represented the helrs and Smyth the chureh. Bedrick Diensibler, a second juror, swears that foreman attempted to read only that part of the instructions which set forth the theory of the heirs and that the jury voted on the case without discussing it.

I [ ne member of the jury who held out for he proponents for three ballots, says the merits of the case were not discussed “and that what was sald was to the effect that the church had property enough, and there- fore the heirs should have it; that no one of the jurors at any time sald or urged that in his judgment the will had been destroyed by Mrs. Connor." The motion for & new trial was due to be argued Saturday, but this may be de- layed to give the attorneys on the other side time for & counter showing. The affidavit of Mr. Smyth also con- tains some matter which was set up In the motion for new trial, excerpts from Judge Sulllvan's address to the jury, in which Mr. Sulllyan is declared to have reflected on the attorneys for the other side and on the church. k Boor Runs Against a Snag Fran Jewish Peddler Comes to the Res- cue of an Aged Man Who is in Trouble, Frank Boor is in the city jail to rumi- nate on the suddenness of justice, sub- stantial justice. He has some sore spots to engage his attention as well. Boor was caught in the act of beating up George Gans, an aged man at Eighteenth and Webster atreets, when a Jewish peddler coming along in his wagon surprised him. The Jew was outraged at the unfair treat- ment of the aged man and proceeded to ad- minister punishment In coplous measure to Boor. Meanwhile the patrol wagon ap- proached. With & farewell kick the avenger leaped into his wagon and drove oft. Boor was picked up from the pave- ment and at the station was locked up for assault and battery. His vietim was attended at the station and sent to his home, 2108 Webster street. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cures the worst colds. Try it Af;;' Fund to Advertise Land of Ak-Sar-Ben Commercial Club Committee Will En- deavor to Land State Fund to Spread Nebraska's Fame. W. A. Campbell and J. M. Guild of the Omaha Commercial club returned Thurs- day night from Columbus, where they were in attendance at the meeting of the Nebraska Commercial clubs. A resolution was passed at the meeting for the appointment of a committee of three to endeavor to get an appropriation of $10,000 per year from the leglsiature for the exploitation of Nebraska and its re- sources, The committes has not been named, but it is probable that Will A. Campbell will be the chalrman. The plan suggested was to expend a part of this amount of money in the publication of a book, setting forth the resources of the state, to be sent out to those who make inquiries through the various commercial organizations. Although it was not de- cided definitely what should compose (he contents of this book, it was suggested that a description of each county in the state should be glven; its location, re- sources and general information for those who might be interested. The state bureau of labor and statistics now has an appropriation of §2,50 with which to carry on such work and it was deemed entirely inadequate by the Ne- braska Commercial clubs to furnish the ipformation sought by those who want to know what Nebraska has to offer as a desirable state in which to live. Other features were also discussed in re- gard to an advertising campaign which would place Nebraska in a prominent posi- tion before the people of surrounding states, especlally in the east, ;—S_TART HOUSEKEEPING RIGHT WASHBURN-CROSBY CO Has the Census Man Got to Your If Not, the Government Wants Yo to Tell Supervisor Saun- ders About It, Are you counted? If the census enumerator has not take your life history the nation's books are| golng to be off by at least one figure on the left hand.

He will see to it that a speclal enumerator is detalled to stralghten the matter out. Letters ad- dressed o the supervisor need not be stamped. The government is glad to carry them free that the records may be set aright. One of the greatest troubles the census enumerators have had to contend with is in the boarding and rooming houses. The parties running the rooming and boarding houses claim that they do not know the names or histories of their roomers. They pay thelr room rent weekly and they have no further Interest in them. The enumeraors have had less trouble with the forelgn population than was ex- pected. The proclamations of the presi- dent in the different languages have be carefully distributed and posted in localities where needed and the forcign- born citizens are responding to the census calls readily.
