The closing arguments In the case of The
Bee Publishing companj against the Associ
ated press were begun yesterday by John
1) . Howe , speaking for The Bee. Mr , Howe
took occasion at the outset of his remarks to
make a personal reply to some animadver
sions mode yesterday afternoon by 11. S
Hall , the attorney for the World-Herald , that
13. W. Slmeral , ono of the attorneys for The
Dec , was a gentleman by profession. Mr.
Howe In a written statement said :
Your Honor. Lnat evening , before ad
journment , nml during the progress of the
argument by counsel for plaintiff , the
learned routiRol for one of the parties , Mr.
Hall , spoke of Mr. Blmornl as "n gentleman
by proresslon. " To Mr. Howe , now addressIng -
Ing your honor , he Hnld , In effect , thnt
when he spoke of the adequacy of the news
agencies or associations otncr thnn the As-
Koclutecl press , thnt he , the Hulil Howe , did
not licllcvo what he said.
The Hponkor ilrplres to testify In bchnlf of
bin associate , Mr. Slmeral , that he la nn
honorable lawyer , a gentleman , nnd , what
ho rould say of no ono else ho Itnows , a
hero every day of his life.
As to the probabilities rcstlm ; on the tes
timony In respect of the sincerity of the
speaker , ho submits that , when the United
press went to pieces , Its membership would
naturally be Bought after , not only by the
Associated press , but by rival organizations
in the name business , nnd that the violent
nnd lawless scramble of the mnnngers of
the Associated press to secure these mem
bers. Is evidence tljnt It was nnxloun to
Bccure them , nt whatever cost , to prevent
their joining- competing organization ; and
IB convincing evidence thnt there nro for-
itildnhle rivals of defendant In the Held of
which defendant Is nfruiil.
One wotd more : I triut I may be pardoned
for calling the younger mcmners of the bar ,
counxcl herein , by their Christian names In
court ; they have grown up here and this Is ,
In part at least , a mitigating circumstance.
I'crhnpH I have no right to protest , being
myself In the wrongIn this way , against
being called John or Johnnie by my learned
brother , Mr. Hall. That is the excluslvo
privilege of rny family. I rte not like to be
called "Judge , " or "Colonel , " or "General , "
for I was never one or the utncr. I would
like to he culled ( If I mu.it have n title ) ,
"Squire , " as WIIH the custom to call lawyers
In my native section In my youth.
WORLD-HERALD'S LIMITED REPORT.
Mr , Howe resumed his argument at the
point at which ho was Interrupted
by the adjournment of the court Tuesday
evening. Ho took up the oft-reiterated state
ment that the World-Hrald would bo ru
ined financially and otherwise If It did not
succeed In breaking down the legally exe
cuted contract between the Associated press
and Thu Bee. He showed by reading affidavit
after affidavit that other news gathering as
sociations , equally ns well equipped as the
Associated press , stood ready to furnish the
AVorld-Hcrald with a news report over leaned
wires to Iho extent of 50,000 words dally. He
showed that up to April 1 the World-Herald
had been printing an average of but 1,500
words a day In Its afternoon edition and 7,500
words in its morning edition. Ho showed
that the Laffan news bureau wag giving these
other news associations the exclusive use of
the New York Sun's news report and ho
placed a copy of that great newspaper In evi
dence , flaying that It wo\ild \ be a proud day
for Omaha when The Bee or even the World-
Herald would print a newspaper with so
magnificent a news service as that printed by
the Now York Sun.
Mr. Howe replied to the several points
madeby Attorneys 'Bstabrook , Lambertson
nnd Hull. Thejlrst.namedspeaking for the
Agsoplated press"laIfl great- stress upon that
section of tne , . statutes " of Nebraska which
requires press associations doing business In
this slate to treat all newspapers on an
equality. Mr. Howe denied the right of the
Associated pi ess to claim the protection of
this provision of the statutes , showing that ,
that association had persistently refused to
recognize tlie law , had never filed Its articles
of Incorporation and Its constitution with
the secretary of state- and that If It had it
would bo compelled to llvo up to Its con
tracts , made In pursuance of Its constitution
and by-laws.
THH BEB AS A NEWS GATHERER.
In the afternoon Mr. Howe rontlnucd his
argument , going exhaustively Into the ques
tions ot Inw entering Into the case.
In his argument the other day Mr. Esta-
brook devoted himself to an effort to prove
that The Bee had no valid contract with
the Associated press ; that that contract con
tained provisions which The Bee on Its part
was unable to meet. Ho referred to that part
of the contract by which The Bee bound
itself to furnish the news from Its territory.
Ho contended that The Bee was physically
unable to do thin , because there were natu
rally many news Items happening within The
Bco'a territory which The Bee never heard of
and consequently could not furnish to the
Associated press. Therefore , Mr. Estabrook
had contended , the contract was void , because -
cause The 'Bee ' could'not fulfill Its part of It.
Mr. Howe demolished thla contention by
showing that the constitution and by-laws of
the Associated press furnished a complete
remedy. Ho showed Uiat If at any tlmo the
Associated press felt that The Bee was not
supplying the news from Us territory It
could confiscate The Bee's shares of stock
and deny It the dally noya report completely.
Mr. Howe , In his general conclusion , re
viewed briefly the three periods In the his
tory of the Associated press. Ho called at
tention of the court to the formative period ,
showing that In that period the relations
between the Associated press and the United
press from October 15 , 1892 , until late In the
year 1R93 , were amicable , and that the two
n&ioclatlnns worked In perfect harmony for
their mutual Inlciosts. Late In 1893 the dis
agreement occurred and from that tlmo down
to the llnal collapse of ( lie United press war
existed between the two associations. Dur
ing this period of strife war measures were
restarted to. And yet In all the years of
( strife , when the constitution and by-laws of
thu 'Associated prcfa wcro Ignored and set
asldo. In not a elnglo Instance was a contract
given to any newspaper without the consent
of Iho local shiireholdei m the Associated
prcws.
After Mr. Howe hud concluded Judge Key-
nor announced that ho had already fixed In
his in I ml Ihn leading points In tlio ease and
would render his decision thla morning.

Theodore Bennett was arrested yesterday
on a charge of criminal libel , It being al-
IcRcd that during the recent municipal cam
paign and ju t previous to election day he
did charge that K. G. Huwcll was a member
of the A. P. A.
The Information against Dennett was ( lleil
In police court Tuesday afternoon , but at
tha request of Howell's friends It was sup
pressed , they saying that they feared Ben
nett would skip. Ucnnfctt was threatened
Immediately after Iho election with prosecu
tion and was told that If he did not make a
roll notion of the charge ho would be ar
rested.
In the Information It Is charged that Den
nett did "Injure , scandalize and vilify the
name , fame and reputation of Edward B.
Howell and did bring him Into public scandal
and disgrace , " by exhibiting an affidavit ,
signed by himself , In which ho stated that ho
knew that 11. R Howell was a member of the
A , P. A. and had sat In a council meeting. It
Is further charged that "this act wns done to
prejudice and aggrieve Candidate Howell at
the election , because the affidavit was shown
lo a great many legal voters of the Homaii
Catholic religion and mi.ny other voters op
posed to the A. P. A. "
Bennett Is accused ot having shown the
anidavlt particularly to Leonard llartsoii and
Murray Marburg and of having caused copies
to bo delivered to divers other persons. All
this Is alleged to have been done to the great
"damage , Injury , scandal , reproach and dlo-
grace of B. B. Howell , personally nnd as a
candidate for mayor. "
The Information Is signed by C. II. Mc-
nckron , a carpenter , who resides at 171G
North Twenty-seventh street. It Is stated by
Attorney W. S. Shoomaltor , who will assist
In the prosecution , that -McEckron was for
merly a member of the A. P. A. He came
Into possession of ono of the alleged copies
of the llbclotis affidavits. Shoemaker Is to bo
aided In the prosecution by George W. Covell.
H Is given out that the case has been
brought by some of tlio silver democrats of
the city who are sore over the defeat of the
fusion ticket and particularly over the defeit
of the principal candidate they wished to see
elected. Howell himself says that ho has had
nothing to do with the prosecution. When
Attorney Shoemaker was asked whether
Howell was not really behind the move he
said :
"It would not look well for Howell to be
named as the complainant. "
Howell said yesterday thnt he felt no
moro Interest In the case than any other
democrat In the city. * Ho elated that he
knew nothing about the case until Shoe
maker spoke to him about It , and then he
refused to pay nny part of the expense at
taching to the prosecution. According to
his statement the case was started by demo
crats out of loyalty to party and to himself.
Ho said further that Immediately after elec
tion ho hail In mind to prosecute somebody
for libel for the circulation of reports that
ho had been an A. P. A. , but found from
legal advice that he could do nothing.
The democrats have had In mind ever
slnco the election the Idea of bringing the
prosecution. Shortly after Howell's defeat
Bennett wns called Into Shoemaker's office
and a demand was made upon him for a re
traction. He was asked to say that the
B. B. I low ell mentioned In the affidavit was
not the democratic candidate , but somebody
clue. Dennett would not do this , however ,
and ho was then threatened with prosecu
tion.

Bennett was arraigned before Police Judge
Gordon and pleaded not guilts * . The case
was set for hearing May 26 , and In the. .
meantime. Bennett was released under $500
bonds.

TALK OF THE AVOOI1MEX T11OUHI.E.
Little WelKht Attneheil to the Ailon-
lloil llC HeNOllltlOIIN.
The report from Clinton , la. , to the effect
that a committee of Modern Woodmen there
had adopted resolutions severely censuring
the head officers of the order as a result of an
Investigation is eald by local Woodmen to
carry little weight. In the resolutions the
head offlcers are charged with loose business
management , extravagance and with having
had previous knowledge of the alleged shortage -
ago of exHead.Banker . Zlnk of Grand Island.
J. W. Houder , who has recently returned
from a visit to Fulton , the headquarters of
the order , say's that the meeting adopting
the resolutions represented only eleven camps
In the vicinity of Pulton. They are Inter
ested in the retention of the headquarters at
Fulton , while the head oulccrs are In favor
of a removal to Rock Island. Therefore the
meeting was simply a part of the fight over
the locution of the head oLIces.
The local members of the order do not take
much stock in the charge of collusion be
tween the head offlcers and Zlnk. In fact ,
they believe that Zlnk wao not to blame for
the loss of the $46,000 , except that he may
have lacked Judgment when he deposited the
amount. Of the money , $30,000 Is In the
Union National bank of this city and the
remainder in bankrupt banks In Grand
Island. The loss Is looked upon aa a com
paratively small one when It Is considered
that the head banker has In his bands aums
ranging from $400,000 to $800,000. The less
occurred during the panic.
Wo wish to thank the many friends who
rendered their kind assistance during the
continued Illness and death of our much be
loved daughter and sister Addle.

on his way from San Francisco to New York
City , where ho will take a steamer for Lon
don. He expects to be present with his fam
ily at the celebration of the queen's Jubilee

ing of coal , Iron and other minerals , which
of late years have been found In the islands
In vast quantities , was nearly at a stand
still. Auckland is an Important coaling sta
tion In the south seas and much revenue has
been derived from the marine sales of coal
In times past.
Mr. Slddon reported that the raising of
cattle , sheep and hogs during the past year
showed a great Improvement over previous
years , and that the mutton In particular
raised on the Islands found a ready sale In

Attachment and garnishment proceedings
were commenced In Iho district court yes
tcrday afternoon by the courtly of Doug
las against Charles E. Ford , to-prcvcnt him
from removing his property from the Juris
diction of the courts nnd thereby prevent
ing the county from recovering anything In
an action agJln.it him on the bond given to
the county by Iho Midland State bank as n
guaranty for deposits by the county In that
Institution.
When ths Midland State bank closed Itfl
doors In September of last year there was
$20,020.93 of the county's money on deposit
In the hank. This bank was a regular
county depository , It having given a bond for
the protection of county funds , the bond
being for $50,000 and elgncd by Charles E.
Ford , Charles A. Sharp and Maria A. John-
aon. The county money on deposit In the
bank nt the time It failed was divided a > s
follows : Douglas addition Judgment fund ,
$12,353.81 ; bridge fund. $1,742.09 ; road Im-
provcment fund , $0,524.40 , malting a total
of $20,620.93.
It came to the ears of the county atotrney
that Ford has been making preparations
lately to gst his property out ofthe way In
or lcr to prevent an execution being Irsucd
against him , and attachment proceedings
were started at oneo to prevent the con
summation of such a plan.

"I'll send you to Jail for flvo days If you
don't take that stand. "
'Then I'll sue you and the whole county , '
yelled Dugan. When the police Judge or
dered the court officer to remove the recalci
trant witness to the elation , Dugan wlltet
and took his scat ion the stand and gave his
testimony.
This Incident occurred In the trial of Abe
Williams , who was charged with committltif
an assault and battery upon P. M. Norgarc
of Fourteenth and Locust streets. The
trouble wns over n dog. The animal was In
Norgard's pcese&slon nnd Williams claimed
It. Norgard refused to give It up until he
was recompensed for the food he had ex
pended On the animal for some weeks. The
dispute ended in a fist flght.
After a full hearing Judge Gordon dis
missed the case.

the City Council.
The now council has begun operations by
ntroduclng another peddlers' ' ordinance , which
Is now under consideration. The new ordl
nanco differs from the present ono only In
the respect that Iti provides a way In which
the peddlers can eccuro a license for eco or
three months , Instead of being compelled to
pay for the entire year ana In advance.
For a two-horse wagon , for Instance , pcd
dlers now have tc pay a fee of $30 per year
In advance. Under itho proposed ordinance
they can do the same or they can pay $10
for three months oriS for one month. It Is
urged that It Is aUtardshlp on many % t the
peddlers to compellthem to pay $30 at once.
It Is also contended. Uiat the pioposed ordi
nance will bo llablu to abuse. As the season
properly only lasts tabout six months , the
peddlers who are not permanently engaged In
Iho buslnefH can ialtu out a license for three
months about JulyII and get the cream of
the business to ttitfidetrlmeiit of the regular
peddlers who liavcupald $30 for their license
for the full year. 4 LUenco Inspector Huret

NO HURRY TO PUSH CASE AGAINST MOORES
Opinion In < ltiltc ficiirrnl Hint ( lie Ex
Major In Alionl Hcmly to Drop
Ills Content Procecil-
mill ( lutt. | ,
During the proceedings In the courts In th
mayoralty case Tuesday the attorneys fo
ex-Mayor Hroatch stated'n number of time
that they would crowd the other nlde nan
and fast to rush the case to trial at once
nnd would make every effort to have tin
case put nt the head of the call In order tha
It might be heard without any delay am
pcttlcd within a short time. They gave no
tlce that they would call the matter up In
Judge 1'owcll's court yesterday an
would ask that the other side be required tent
nt once nlo Its answer to the petition In
quo warranto so that the Issues could be
joined without delay.
James I ) . Shcean , one of Broatch's nttor
neys , stated yesterday In Judge Powell'
court , that the matter would not bo called
up , until the latter part of the week.
This apparent lack of Interest may bo par
tially accounted for by statements made
Tuesday by one of the Judges , and also by
C. J. Greene , one of the attorneys for Mayor
Moores. Judge Kejsor , In passing upon the
quo warranto case , quoted a number of sec
tions t of the Nebraska statutes relating toque
quo warranto proceedings nnd sold tht
language of nil the sections plainly Indicated
to | his mind , that the plain Intent of thu
legislature j was that quo warrnnto proceed
ings could only be brought against any offl-
cer actually performing the duties of the
office.
Subsequently , while Attorney Wright , for
ex-Mayor Broatch , was making a talk abou
demanding that the other nldo bo compele ! <
to file Us anewcr , Mr. Greene remarked : "
would just as soon tell the gentlemen , now
that wo stall insist that the quo warranto
proceedings were Improperly brought am
they arc at liberty to use that Infornmtlot
for what It may bo worth. "
The attorneys for Broatch refuse to adml
that these remarks have any bearing upoi
their present actions , but It Is generally con
ceded by attorneys that the Broatch faction
will bo compelled to commence Its quo war
rantn proceedings all over again. The opln
Ion Is quite general that Uroatch and his
followers will drop the matter , now that h
has been beaten at every turn.

by attorneys representing certain of tin
stockholders , but Judge Scott gave notice a
tho" tlmo the order was made to sell at prlvati
sale that It would be followed at the propel
time by an order to dispose of the assets a
