ACTIORS MAY BE DISMISSED Police Sh ing Im dow Men Suspected of De- licated sith Erdman in (o Destroy Dennison Household, Three sults begun by Frank Erdman, in the county court, seem likely to go by the e of his recent arrest on a charge of attempting to dynamite Tom Den- and the discovery that Erdman is| 1 escaped Colorado convict. | In all three suits Elmer E. Thomas was the attorney of record. November 26 of last year Erdman filed | sults to recover sums of money which he| alleged he lost gambling. Of Richard 8. Ber- | Iin and Louis Rentfrow Erdman sought $600; of ank Sampson, $800 and of Willlam E. Nesselhouse and Henry Sherman $200. The cases were called for trial several times by County Judge Leslie, the last rec- ord made in them being February § of this year. Since then the cases have begn passed over several times, Mr, Thomas not being present when they were called. Police Shadow Suspeots. Persons suspected of being accomplices of Frank Erdman in the attempt on the life of Tom Depnison by the placing of a| dynamite bomb are under police survell-| lance. Dennison himself expresses the conviction that they will be ultimately connected with the case beyond doubt.

Talking coolly through the bars of his cell Erdman told reporters Tuesday morn- ing that he had arranged with an accom- plice to hold up and rob a bank, when his pal deserted him, three years ago. The prisoner said his accomplice in the In- teended bank robbery plot was a man named Thomas, who had served in the Canon City penitentiary, and whom Erd- man had sent numerous cases of provisions and clothing after the latter had made his escape from the prison. Thomas, upon being liberated, according to Erdman, joired him here in Omaha and occupied a room with him. Erdman de- frayed all the expenses of his friend, bought him clothing of an expensive kind and gave him all manner of attention, he sald, “Thomas was sick” sald Erdman, “and I wanted him to rest up and get well efore we pulled off the big job." The plans of the two went by the boards suddenly with the disappearance of Thomas and about $500 of Erdman's money, and the two revolvers they were to use in the hold- up proceeding. Erdman denied, as he had done before, ever having been out of the city at the times the police allege in thelr suspiclons of his work on the dynamite plot. He de- nied ever having been in Louisville, Neb., where the high explosive dynamite is kept. Deputy County Attorney Magney Tuesday morning announced he was seriously con- sidering the plan of swearing out five separate eomplaints against the prisoner— a complaint from each member of Mr. Den- nison's household. ““‘We have got a pretty strong case with the single complaint of Dennison, however,” sald Mr. Magney, and the maximum penalty of fifteen year for conviction on that complaint would prob- ably amount to life for the prisoner.” The attorney explained that dman is past 60 years old now and that to swear his freedom away for seventy-five years or more, as would be ‘the case Wwith con- viction on five complaints, would be an unnecessary precaution. ‘“However,” con- cluded the state's prosecutom, “we may de- cide to use the method of complaining with tive principal witnesses.” It was further pointed out that if this decision should be made, the present complaint would be set aside atter the preliminary hearing Friday and the new ones sworn out. 1t was learned from John O, Yelser, at. torney for the prisoner, that Mrs, C. G. Geutsch, 423 North Eighteenth street, at whose house Erdman lived to the time of his arrest, will testify that the man was in his room all afternoon of the day on which he s alleged to have been out plac- ing dynamite bombs. Captain Savage Tuesday morning ad- mitted that the police have learned of a woman in Florence with whom Erdman was on close terms of friendship and that it is thought he may have contrived the bomb at her house. In the course of his interview with re- porters, Erdman stated that “the good eiti- zens of Omaha’ were acting in his defense and would defray the expenses of his trial, Besides the omission of the name Tom Dennison in the opening part of the original conwplaint against Erdman, the county at- torneys discovered another defect. Tho complaint described the gun in the dyna- mite bomb as being loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets in cartridges, Whereas the un in reality was loaded with dynamite end blank cartridges. Both defects were eorrected and the corn- plaint made ready for uso, The hearing will take place Friday morning. Attorney Yelser has announced that he will let his cllent stand trial through the preliminary hearing and force the stats to use & considerable part of its evidence against him. HARRIMAN LINE SHOWS GAIN nion Pacifie Has Been Forging to the Fore During Present Fisenl Year, Financial men expect that the increase in the year's surplus for the common stock of the Union Pacific will be approximately 1818 per cent as compared with a surplus of 17.36 per cent for the same period a year ago. 'This percentage may be somewhat reduced by further conversion of bonds, the estimate being based on the $216,679,300 stock outstanding May 2L If the estimate made for the present year holds good it will mean a gaim of $L44 for each share, Net earnings for nine months of the cur- rent year were $31,000,23, which s an in- crease of $LMO8M0 over the same period of 1000, A relatively poor showing was made in March, as there was a decrease of $3%,380 In the net for the montb. This was due almost entirely to washouts and expenses which offset the big gain of $986,304 In gross carnings. Fixed charges will show a de- crease of about SLO00 caused by retige- ment early in the latter half of 1600 of some $30,000,000 convertible bonds. Low Rates to o East Via Nickel Plate Road.

Phelps resumed his testimony John W Tucsday morning. al Bergers in district court He declared that he had times met Bergers and Mrs. Pheips utomobile riding and that his invita tion to Bergers to get out of his car and | seitle inatters on the street did not appeal to the automobile dealer, Phelps testified that one day in April 1909, he had seen his wife coming out of | the back door of Bergers' home and then | had seen Bergers emerge from the front | entrance. Pheips declared he then said to his wites “Well, I have caught you red-handed at last.” To this Phelps sald Mrs. Phelps replied “Well, it you've caught me, I may as well own up." The witness then testified to seeing Mrs Phelps leaving Bergers' residence on an- other occasion, but by the front door. He sald that April 1, 109, Mrs. Phelps left his | home, going to her mother's and taking | the baby with her. The same day her sult | for divorce was filed. Asked if he had made an effort to see her at her mother's, Phelps answered in the affirmative. He was unsuccessful, | baving been restrained by court order which Mrs. Phelps procured. An effort by Phelps' attorney to get this restraining order admitted In evidence produced a long debate between R. H. Olmstead and B. G Burbank, the opposing attorneys, and Judge Sears ruled It out for a time. The last question asked Phelps on direct examination was this: “What effect on you did Bergers taking your wife automobile riding, you seeing her | Itave his house by the back door and again | by the front door when_ the curtains had been pulled down, her leaving your hom and taking your baby with her to mother’s, | where it contracted measies and dled, what | effect did theso things have on you?" To this Phelps made answer: “Constant worry, a neryous breakdown, | from which 1 have not yet recovered and which caused my leaving my position with the Krug theater and going on the road.” out a Fisherman Finds Corpse in River As Mike Teague Draws In His Seine | He Pulls Out Body of a Dead Man. “Draws heayy,” remarked Mike Teague, & Missouri river fisherman, to his wife, as she sat in the boat while he pulled in a seine, By thelr combined efforts, they drew the seine to the bank and there landed the burden which proved to be a corpse. The body was that of a well dressed man of about 0 years of age. It had been in the water apparently flva or six days. Coroner Crosby found papers on the body which bore the address, Heresford, S.

O YOU want your family under the supervision of a National Health Bureau controlled by the political doctors? .Even now the American Medical Association, which denies that it is using ‘“‘lobbying methods, has a letter out to its members, written on the official letterhead of its ‘‘Committee on Medical Legislation”” under date of May 10th, 1910, from which we quote the following :— Dear Doctor:— A proposition to establish a Department of Health with a Secretary in the Cabi- net of the President, is now pending in Congress (Owen Bill, S. 6049). The Con- gressional elections are to occur within a few months. It is, therefore, of the highest importance . . . . . . that you at once take the necessary steps (1) To secure as delegate from your county to your Cangressional nominating conventions of ALL parties, men who are in favor of establishing a National Depart- ment of Health with a Secretary in the Cabinet . ... . . .; (2) To secure, if possible, a definite promise from each candidate for Congress to support such a measure, if elected . . . . . , The position of all eandidates, what- ever it may be, should be made known to the elettors BEFORE THE NOMINA TIONS ARE MADE; (3) To secure the adoption of a plank in favor of a Department of Public Health in the platform of each political convention . . . . . . Concerning this letter on proposed legislation the NewYork Herald of May 25th says editorially: '“Sllndnrd Oil is a puling infant in the way of a trust compared with the gigantic ‘combine’ for which these doctors are working. It would create a monopoly more odious than was ever before conceived, one which would touch and controi the life of the people at a thousand points of contact, and—the most audacious feature of all—would impose the cost of its own support upon the country to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, . Some notion of what this trust would be at the start—Heaven only knows what it might not be made to include when once firmly established as part of the federal govern- ment!—may be gleaned from the stat¢ément made byone of its promoters as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It would control hygiene, sanitation, food, educa- tion, immigraiion, public and private relief, labor conditions end a dozen other things, besides ‘research igboratories and equipment.’ Inother words, the American people through their government would be engaged in experimentation upon living animals—vivisection. Nothing so needless, nothing so audacious in the way of a trust was ever before conceived, much less proposed to be incorporated into the government.
