Brandeis & Sons and his dominating influence was felt in every public énterprise undertaken for the benefit of the community. “His judgment was quick and keen, his initiative unusual and his courage and public spirit unlimited.

BRIBE PLOT ECHO IN PICKARD SUIT Former Bumns Detective Who w‘l Arrested Here Given §2,500 Damages. THROWN DOWN BY EMPLOYERS Kansas City, Mo, June 12.—(Spe- cial Telegram.)—Frank Pickard, for- mer Burns detective agency sleuth, who with others was sent to Omaha three years ago for the purpose of “getting something on” city and coun- ty uffic‘ials.sl&;s be:n a»l::‘n}cd a judg- ment, of $2, ngt. ormer em- gl&m Pk g ere. Pickasd was arrested in Omaha and his employers denied responsibility for him® As a result he was forced to spéid his own money to. obtain his freedom and was put to a great deal of humiliation, He sued for $5,000. The case in which Pickard figured was the most sensational fiasco ever hatched out of Omaha politics. A local afternoon newspaper, to- gether with several wealthy Omahans, made up a pot of nearly $30,000 and hired the Burns detective agency, which at that time was at the zenith of its notoriety. The scheme was to “get” every officeholder who hap- pened to be out of sympathy with their cause, as well as several Oma- hans engaged in politics but not hold- ing office. Were Manufacturing Evidence. After the first few weeks, during which time it was established that the standard of honesty of Omaha offi- cials was up to proper grade, an at- tempt was }nade to frame up evidence of a nature that would look plausible at the following election. When this was tried the victims tumbled to the plot, and in a few days the city-jail was. full of Burns detec- tives. b When the arrests came the men who furnished the moner it to disclaim all responsibi "ing the detectives here. A suit for $25,000 was filed against the newspaper, and a suit, for a simi- lar amount against the detectjve agency was brought by the men whose names ‘were involved in the “investigation.” Suits Lost Sight of. Apparently the suits have been set- | tled out of court, as nothing has been | heard of them for some time, Pickard was one of the detectives who 'was ar- rested here. When he realized that he was left to hold the sack he made a y for bring- learned that word has been sent to President Wilson asking him to sug- gest the name of a chairman who would be agreeable to him, that the new committee may act upon the sug- gestion immediately after the final session of the convention. Commit- teemen here say that if President Wil- son’s choice lies within the commit- tee membership, it probably will be Vice Chairman Homer Cummings of Connecticut. Mr. Cummings said that he was not a candidate for the office, but if called upon would serve. Contest Over Texas Chairman. A smart contest was anticipated be- fore the committee today over who should be seated as national commit- teeman from Texas. Thomas Love, formerly of Missouri, has protested against the seating of William Poin- dexter, There is some trouble from far off Hawaii.
