THE OMAHA DAILY WEDNESDAY , JANUARY 0 , 1802. HAD A CALL ON THE WIRES , Smooth Confidence Qarao Worked on the Various Big Pool Rooms , SHARPERS WHO HAD A DEAD SURE THING , Omntin'it ' Mitn.tgrr Hnvcil lllnnelf by i Very iMehy Scrutcli llmr Olhrrn I'urcil 1'rlnco ItldliiK AK | II Other Sporting Probably the clovoroit scheme to boat the racing pool rooms of the country hcrpotratod In many years was the tanpllng of tbo tele graph wlros yesterday by a combination of enterprising Now Yorkers. And as strange and lucrcdiblo as It may all seem , the Diamond mend pool room of this city was the only room of the score or more In the different metropolitan oltlos to escape unscathed. Whllo mou all of the other * lost money way up Into the thousands , the Diamond never lost a gonny , hut on the contrary had a win ning afternoon , oven to the retention of the mouoy "played" In by the sharks to boat them. llriollv the Jot was as follows : Early yoiterday afternoon before the "post tlmo'1 for the llrst race had been placarded on the blackboard , n couple of Htrangors , which in Itself Is far from nn uncommon nccurnnco , strolled Into the Diamond pool loomi. Mr. Bablns was tn the "box. " and the ether attaches of the house were at their accus tomed posts. Immcdlatplysubseqtmnt to the "llrst bolting" on the llrst race , for which everything had como In In proper shape , the right "odds" ami their ilutuIU , one of the aforc.sntd strangers stopped up to the "box" and told Sablns to wrlto him a ticket for f JO on Congress , who wns n 10 to I shot. ICvon In tbis there was nothing out of the ordinary channel , although Congress , at all horse fol lowers know , had no right to win the raco. After tbis Satilns bacuod down to 8 to 1 , when thostrangor put ? 10 moro on him , the crowd of course "picking" bis example. UoiigrrH * Won , tu Me Suro. "Thoy nro olTl" cried the poolroom crlor. Congress is not hoard until the stretch Is entered , when ho Is third. Tim next moment the crlcr announced , "Congress wins I" Thn followed the judges' deolntoii and tlmo nil correct , and the bets on the IMCO were paid oil , the room losing u "Dooldng" of probably $ oUO. The strangers came up smiling 'or ' the second race , and when stranger No. 1 stepped up to the box and plunks down n cool hundred on Itoso U , a ! ) to 1 shot , Sablns Binollud a largo sized Norway rat. There was something peculiar in the moin ot the sporty stranger , but to demonstrate that the bouso was "dead panic , " Hablns wised the odds a half "point , " on Hos.-i O , from ? ' to 1 , to 3 to I , hoping to torapt thn men to plnco enough money to square him on the llrst raco. Then Stranger No. 'J stopped up , and with trembling lingers and furtive gtanco counted out $101) ) moro in now crisp bills. Still Sabln's was undecided , but when Stranger No. 1 quickly followed up with $ .10 moro , mid Stranger No. U with another $100 , ho realised thot the proceedings were out of the every day rut. Not Old IIiUKNiit It. The add way in which tbo men bet their money , their Mustered manners , their eager ness , anil ether evidences Indicated that they were not old pool room habitues , but novices in the work , and Sablns bacan n hard job of cogitating. This resulted in the conclusion thut thorn tvas u Sonogumbi.nn lurking In the woodpile , so ho slipped out , 'ran 'round to the Western Union tolecruph headquar ters , and tolegrapqed to \V. J. Dealoy , the general manucor tit Now York , asking for the winners of Uxo first two races at Guttonberg , Then ho hur riedly returned to the pool rooms and told tbo cashier not to pay any of the tickets on the second race until bo hoard from his moV sago. This came along in about an hour , and it vended all bis iusplcions'jhs neither Congress - gross nor Hosa O , who had also been reported - ported as the winner of the second race , were winners , Congress uvon failing to got a place aqd Hosa G running third. lolt In n Hurry. The moment payment of the tickets bail boon stopped at tha olllco the two strangar.s loft tbo place , and nothing more was soon of thorn , and It will probably bo many moons era they again drop In at tlio "Diamond. " The "bookings" on tbo second race showed , when the matter was all summed up , that Manager Sabins had saved his house a loss of from 53,500 to $1,000 , and , of course , ho is focllng qulto comfortublo this morning. Information received from Uonvor shows that Harry Banlgan room was "dono" for about $3,000 on the sumo deal , whllo the rooms In 'Frisco ' lostall the wav from S.'O.OOO to M5OOU. As yet It is not Known where the wires were tapped , but the provalcnt supposition Is that it was right at the Uuttonborg track , and that ono of tha regular operators wns in with the job. It Is pronounced the slickest ploco of wire tapping that has boon perpe trated for years , If not the cleverest on rec ord. There was nothing In the workings nt the rooms calculated to excite the slightest suspicion ether than that detailed. The ciphers came all right , everything was in line , post time , judges' dncUion , tlmo and all of the minor details came ns usual. The Western Union Is hard at work endeavoring to locate the guilty parties , but it looks like a hopeless task , RO wall were all the plans tor the job laid. Captured ut KIIIIKUS ( 'lty. KANSS CITV , Mo. , Jan. 5. Five men , who were evidently in collusion with confederates in the east , swindled the pool rooms of C. L. Malby , located nt the .nato line , and Uloason & Co. out of $1,000 this afternoon. Thuv placed their money on Uosa G and Congress , uoth long sliots in the races nt Guttonberg , and when the ticker recorded these liorios aa winners , their money was paid to them.Shortly after they bad left the propilotors or the .pool rooms received messages from Now York stating that Brooklyn and Insight had won the races supposed to have boon cap tured uy the ether horses. Malby ami Glou- iion wont directly to tha Union station and there had the mon nrro.stod ns they were about to board n train for Chicago to which city their tickets road. Seven hundred dollars lars was found in tholr possession which they claimed they bad \\hun they arrived in town. Tuo cases will como up for a hearing tomorrow morning.

Two strangers giving their names as Parry and Itogors have bean in uml about Austin & Cu.'s race pool room for the past few days. They have laid tn occasional hot on hovernl races with indifferent - different results until today. This afternoon Congress , a horse In the Guttonuorg races , wns put on the board as u 10 to 1 shot. I'orr.v Invested $300 on this borso ml great surprise was caused when the returns were received show ing that Congress bad won. Mr. I'orry pocketed his ? a,000 a.ut nulotly dlsuiw pearod. Shortly afterwards ifogors placed MOO on Hoia G , n 15 to 1 shot. Strange to inv , this hoiao proved a winner also , The : nshlor of the flrm paid the man , who lost no time In leaving the room with his $1,51)0. ) 1'hls last extraordinary 'luck sot the pool tellers to thinking and they requested the race bureau In Now York'to verify tbeso Winner * . An Immediate answer wns re ceived , showing that the horses had not oven KOt a plnco in tholr respective races and that tbo pool room had boon duped.

Sherman republicans nmdn no attempt to sent Gcorgo Idcn In the Idon-Gaumor contest this mornIng - Ing , so the anticipated conflict be tween the Foraker nnd Sherman forces In the senate did not tnko place , nnd the only dispute over the question was wnothor the case should bo referred to the regular com- mlttro on privileges ami elections , when appointed , or to n special committee , consisting of Nichols and Carpenter , republicans , nnd Forbes , democrat , The latter was thu proposition of the republicans , and It prevailed by a strict party voto. As tbo republican members of the committee nro both Sherman men there is no doubt they will report In favor of seating Idon without dnluy. Foraker senators refuse to indicate what course they will pursue In cnso the committee reports In favor of seating Idon. When thu Caucus Will HiHeld. . The republican Joint caucus for the nom ination of n United States senator Is to bo bold on Wednesday evening. This is u some what later duto limn It was hoped would bo agreed upon , but both Senator Sherman nnd ex-Governor Forukor nro content with Wednesday evening and public unxloty must remain unalli.yod until that tlmo. Todavhas brought , forth no sturtllnc remits , nnd to night IInils the Sherman forces still serenely conlklont nnd the Forukor people over-hope ful In tlicIV reiterated assurances of ultimate success. Ono by ono the doubtful men have been forced to dcclnro themselves , until these whoso preferences uro not a matter of public knowledge now number not moro than a half dozen men. Unfortunately , the situation shows those half ( lo/.cn , should they vote i.s n unit , can still wield thu balance of power , and Iho result cannot bo accepted as absolutely conclusive until their preferences are announced , It looks now us though this announcement would not bo muda until the qvpnlng of tlio caucus ; and this probability , coupled with the possibility of u secret bnl- 16ti'hbi'pln ' nil pledccs could bo vlolntod With Immunity , still lonvns tbo result a sub ject of Irritating uncertainty. Si'lllitot ' * HuulliiHVrllot a Letter. The lifdst interesting event of the day has boon tlio open letter of Senator Ruwlins pub lished this afternoon , In which ho llnully de- glares for Shcrnmn , after stating that his 'personalpreferences uro for Foraker. ' ' 'I'haVo rcgnrded Senator Sherman , " says tbo letter , "as Olio of the greatest llnunclors and statesmen of Ohio , and yet I have largely shared Iho feeling that the time had come when ho could , without detriment to the public Interests , bo succeeded by Ohio's gallant nnd brilliant ox-eovernor , J. B. Forakor , and , indeed , my por.ioinl Inclina tion was so strong that way that I wrote to the ex-govornoptbat I expected to vote for Inm : At that tlmo , which was bum few days after , the , election , I believe that tbo staio of public sentiment was such that I would bo warranted In so doing. Later expressions of public sentiment begun reaching mo from various sources , and now , upon taking a careful inventory of tbo information fur- nishod'ms , I feel that my duty to my con stituents forbids mo to vote ns I had ex pected and do.slrcd to do , and hence I shall cast my vote In conformity with the prevail ing sentiment of my constituents for Hon. John Shdrman. who by his past public serv ice has brought not only honor to himself , to our great stnto , but who has been o great loader In republicanism , and who is still a tower ' Of strength in guldinp the great ship 1o'fstate' ' > * Doubtful remher.s. The members yet considered doubtful nro Representatives Clapp , Mc.Coy , Dcssmger , Lutz , Duuu and' Puduo.v , and Senator Lamp- son Is else yet claimed by tbo Forakor men. Most of these doubtful gontlamcn are. Indeed , claimed by both sides , nnd the light is so close that there may uo some embar rassing situations bcforo the end i.s reached. It is not impossible thut Messrs. Welch and Dicks , who announce thnt they will vote respectively for Govornor-olect Me- ICInloy and Secretary Foster , may hold the kuy to the situation. Whllo n dcadlouk Is not probable , It. is not by any moans impossible thnt tbo contest may drift into u condition by which neither o'f the pronounced candidates can sccuro a ma jority of the caucus. But two of the doubtful man cnro to talk for publication. Mr. Pudnoy , on being asked hisjwsitlon , said : "I huvonot made up my mjndjrot , and most assuredly have not de clared myself on tbo question. Evervthing appears to mo to bo at sea , and I will have nothing to suy until the land is in sight. " Tno geoornl rumor that Senntor E. L. Lumpson has pledged himself to 'Sherman is donicd today by that gentleman him- s.qlf. "No , sir , " said ho. "I have restrained from committing myselt pro or con , wishing to learn the wish ot my constituents. I have been receiving numer ous , loltqrs and lolegrams from my home people ' In the matter and they nro still pour ing in. T am still holding myself open to the guidanae ot their wishes , and have not given ip.y pledge to anybody. " .j\t Fonikor'H lleiuliiuurters. In the ITorakor headquarters there nro vuguo hints of Hank movements to bo made , of surprises of a very sensational character which are yet to ue sprung , and which will .have the effect of enlivening the last hours of the struggle beyond ull comparison with what has already tuicen placo. Much dispute has boon created by the open letter of Colonel U. V. Boynton , thu Washington journalist , defending Shermnn't > labor record and ridiculing the "labor corn- mi top" that Is now hero striving to defeat ttiQ.sonutor. 1'hls afternoon this"committee sent Colonel Boynton the following tele- Brain , which was simultaneously given to tha public : " The republican platforms of IBS' ' ) .

The Sherman people treat the efforts of this "self-appointed" labor committee , as they term it , with vast contempt and express un feigned Indignation thnt .Senator Sherman , the brother of General W. T. Sherman , should bo accused of unfriendliness to tbo ox-union soldier. While ull these charges and their refutation servo as subjects for lively discussion , it Is becoming apparent thut neither the labor orgunbatlons nor the farmers alliance nro oven a factor In the present campaign , The farmer * alliance has been unublo to control a single member , nnd the efforts of the Stnto Trades and Labor assembly , which convenes tomorrow , will bo equally Impotent , although that organisation is expected to participate in tbu light , Slieriuuu'M 1'ollovtfrn SatlxlU'd. Tho'friends of ox-Oovcrnor Foraker state tonight that they conlldontly expect the suc cess ot their candidate and Foraker has echoed this statement. It is claimed by them that seven members of tlm legislature who voted for Laylin for speaker will vote for Forukcr , and the McGruo men will stand for Forakur. They also Insist that Foruker bas eight votes which Sherman mon cannot touch In the samite , All these statements are denounced ns preposterous by the Sher man men , who claim that tbo senator will have a majority of no IBM thun ton , and possibly fourteen tn the joint caucus. "I can only say1 said Senator Sherman , ' 'that ' I still regard tbo situation as exceed ingly favorable. Tbo events of the day Imvo tended to strengthen belief In my nomina tion. " "You regard the situation then as practic ally conclusive In Is avldonco of your suc cess ! " "Oh. I would hardly like to mo tbo word 'conclusive,1 that might indicate a ue roa of exultation , and wo must ramtmibcr the con- test Is not ever yet , and will not bo until Wednesday night. I am very hopeful and conlldont , at Indeed I think are all my friends. Wo Imvo yet to dlscovor an unfa vorable Indication , " Ex-Governor Fornlwr , who has main tained a degree of rotlconco throughout the light , certainly displayed no appearance of dospondonc.y tonight. "I still cxpoct to win , " said bo. "Of coarse at this .stage It would bo very unwise to giro out names anil details , uut I have not changed my convic tion of ultimate success. The contest from now to tbo close will naturally bo character ized by all kinds of reports quickly succeed ing each ether , and many of these will bo unfounded , whllo others will bo correct. Thu situation Is constantly shifting nnd will nontlntio to prosant many changes until tbo end , so that the situation now may not bo the situation of nn hour hence. 1 can only say that 1 am still ns hopeful as over and expect to win. " Soulfd ( lie liopnbllcan , The Idon-Gatimor contested election case wns broiicbt ton hasty conclusion this after noon without any protest from the Fornkor Hcnators against the seating of Mr. Iden in ndvaiira of iho caucus , Thn special com mittee after mi hour's SCIMOII presented a report Just before the adjournment of the senate , Uniting that Gcorgo Ideu was enlltlod to the contested sent. JJy n Mrlcl p-my vote the report was adopted , ovcry republican voting In the aftlrmullvc nnd every democrat In the negative. This assures Mr , Sherman ono moro vote In Wednesday's ouicus. Flvo minutes after the oath of olllco had boon administered to St-nator Idcn that gen- tinman announced to the associated press : "I am for Sherman for senator nnd I want It distinctly so announced. Up to this tlmo I have refrained from public declaration because my seat was still In jeopardy , but now that the niatior Is sultlu.l 1 want my position to bo known beyond question.
