Mrs. Mollle Mabrr.y denies thnt the threw
acid In the face of Maud Hanson.
She esys she does not kuow Miss Hanson,
never saw her and the first aha knew that
acid had been thrown was when she rend an
account of It In the newspapers.
She admits she was In Omaha on the day
the acid was thrown, but denies-all direct
knowledge of the Incident. She denies, alio,
that she knows the woman In Kansas City
who signed the name "Lets" to a telegram
tent to her In care of the police on tbe day
of the asiault.
8 he has no grievance against Miss Han
son, she says, and can't Imagine who It
could bavo been who threw vitrei In her
face,
Mrs. Mabray , made the foregoing state
ments to The Dee's special correspondent at
Crawford, Neb., Wednesday, shortly after
her arrest by the town marslmt. She will
be held there to await the arrival of a dep
uty .sheriff, who started for that point last
night to bring her back to Omaha. Mrs.
Mabray said:
Mra. Mnhrny'x Statement.
"I was never so auprpijlsid In my life as
when I saw by the papers that I wnii ac
cused of throwing the acid. Of course the
chargo Is ridiculous. I have been living with
my husband at 606 Kast Fourteenth street,
Kansas City, until about three weeke ago,
when he went to Omaha to find a new loca
tion, leaving mo suffering with appendi
citis, Last week ho sent mo money so that
I could Join him In Omaha and I went there,
arriving Thursday morning, September 12.
That, I bellove, Is the day the acid was
thrown. I only remained In Omaha a few
hours, rs I wanted to come here to Craw
ford, where 1 own property. On tho .way I
stopped at Orchard to visit my father. I
don't know anything About any telegram
from Kansas City, and don't know who
'Lets' le. I never had a trunk In Omaha
nhd have never been In Valley. Whllo In
Omaha I stopped nt the I'axton hotel and
never left It except to go to the depot."
Mrs. Mabray was arrested at Crawford
Wednesday by tho marshal, who Is one of
her tenants. She was not placed In jail.
At her request sho was permitted to re
main at tbe home of a friend whero she
had been stopping since Inst Monday, tho
day of her arrival, but was kept under
strict survcllancc. When tho marshal ar
retted her sho said she was just getting
ready to go to Omaha to prosecuto the
newspapers for publishing libelous state
ments about her.
Mrs. Mabray live nt Crnwfprd" with her
husband until about two years ngo, when
they went away together. Sho bus always
borne a good reputation there. Tho people
of Crawford are much surprised to seo her
name associated with tho affair.
New Elements In the Cnse.
The police of Omaha have discovered
within the last few day that at least a
part of the foregoing statement by Mrs.
Mabray Is true. Sho was not In Valley, nor
did she have a trunk la Omaha, At one
time they thought they had her located
In Valley., Sheriff, Power wont there to ar
rest her, but found that no woman answer
ing her description had been there.
A detective who has been working on thq
case says: , ,
"If what Mrs. Mabray says. It truo a now
clement Is ndded to this affair and it has
nocoms wonderfully complicated. Thorc
Is a character in It whoso Identity Is un
known. If Mrs. Mabray didn't throw thq
acid, who did? Can It bo that there was
a third woman Interested In John Mabray?
Maud Hanson, tho victim, admits that sho
doesn't know Mrs. Mabray, so It may bo
she simply Jumped at tho conclusion that
Mrs. Mabray was hor assailant, being un
able to think of anyono else who would have
a motive to assault hor. If, when Mrs.
Mabray gets here, wo am convinced of
tho truth of her story, wo will havo to look
somowhere else for tho acid thrower."
Mill 'llnnaon Explains.
Miss Hanson was shown the telegram from
Crawford last night. After reading it she
said: "I am satisfied that the woman who
ussaulted mo last Thursday waa Mrs. Molllo
Mabray. She called hero at my room twlco
and tho first time sho camo sho Introduced
herself aa Mrs. Mabray. When I camo Into
the room tho tald: 'I am Mn. Mabray and
I want to know what you aro doing with
Mr. Mab'ray't photograph on your mantel.'
Then the went away and camo back again
In about an hour with the acid, which tho
dashed in my face."

Cliniiitcey Olcott
In "Garrett O'Magh." Augustus Pltou has
furnished Mr. Olcott with one of tho best
vehicles ho has ever had to give proper ex
pression to the abundance of keen Irish
wit possessed by this popular comedian.
Not only has Mr. Pltou put bright, sparkling
lines nnd felicitous dialogue Into his play,
but he has done It In such a way as to
allow Mr. Olcott an opportunity to Imbue It
with much of his own happy, spirit and per
sonality. He Is given a half dozen chances
to Interpolate pretty Irish ballads for the
singing of which he Is Justly famous and of
which his many admirers novrr seem to tiro.
This season his splendid tenor voice Is
heard In several unw songs, besides the ever
popular "Wild Irish nose." To each tho
exceptionally large audlanco which greeted
his return Wednesday night , at the Uoyd
theater forced him to respond to from ono
to thrco encores. The fact that Mr. Olcott's
engagement waa for but two performances,
both of which were given Wednesday, was a
disappointment to many who were kept
away from the theater by the Ak-8ar-Bon
festivities. Ills company this season is ono
of the best which has ever supported him.
and tho production was In keeping with
tho good tasto always displayed by hlra In
putting on the different plays In which ho
has been scon hero In former years.
CAUSE OF FALLING IIAIH.
Dandruff, Wlileli la a Germ Disease
Kill Hip Germ.
Falling hair Is caused by dandruff, which
Is ii germ disease. The germ Is burrowing
In to the root of the hair, whero It destroys
tho vitality of the hair, causing the hair to
fall out, digs up the cuticle In little scales,
called dandruff or scruf. You can't stop tho
railing hair without curing tho dandruff
and you can't cure tho dandruff without
killing tho dandruff germ. "Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect." New'bro's
Hcrplclde Is tho only hair preparation' that
kills tho dandruff germ. Herplclde.ts also
a delightful hair dressing.

KAN8AS CITY, Mo., Sept. 18. The dele
gates representing seven political parties
of reform, who camo hero for the "Allied
Third Party" conference, held their first
Joint session tonight, nfter two days of
separato conference meetings behind closed
doors. All of tho preliminary work of
launching tho new political party, which
Is to be a union of all reform parties, wan
done by the conferenco committees of
the several delegations before the dele
gates met In Joint session tonight. It waa
decided that the now party Is to be called
tho "Allied" party nnd a platform wot
agreed upon by tho conference committees,
which demands the Initiative and referen
dum and public ownership of public util
ities; declares against laud speculation and
alien ownership; favors scientific money,
based upon tho entire wealth of the people
of tho nation, and .not redeemable In any
specific commodity, "but to bo full legal ten
der for all debts, to be Issued by tho gov
ernment only without the Intervention of
banks, In sufficient quantity to meet the
requirements of commerce; demands Just
and natural taxation and the election of
president, vice prosldent, federal Judges
and secators by direct vote; favors the
creation of n department of labor nnd
equitable arbitration; favors the establish
ment of poBtal savings banks and favors
such constitutional amendments as may
bo ncceasary to moke tho abovo laws.
Pnrpote and I'lnha.
Tho purpose of the Joint session tonight
was to decide upon tho time and place to
hold the convention which will meet to
ratify tho actions of this conferenco and
perfect the permanent organization of tho
new paity.
Tho conferenco was called to ordor to
night by J. H. Cook of Carthage, Mo., who
spoke In part as follows:
It must bo apparent to all nte'Kontj
thinking men that we are now confronte.l
by conditions In government which are
well-nigh unbearable, and which will de
mand our most considerate and thoughtful
attention If we would abolish tlnK evils
and restore the principles of free govern
ment as established by the declaration of
Independence, the constitution of pur conn
try nnd the sacred trndlttons of our fathers.
The leaders of both tho democratic rmj
republican partlca nre hopelessly ontnngleJ
In tho web of centrullted wealth nnd
monopoly, while the rank and file aro won
dering what they can do to be saved. Tn
trusts nnd combines havo narallied legiti
mate entcrprlso and renedercd It almost
Impossible for tho man without millions to
conduct business with any degree of sue-
CCS ft
It Is admitted on nil sides that this con
dition of nffalrs has been brought about
largely by tho subserviency of the two old
political parties to the beneficiaries of com
bined wealth and monopolies.
After two of the most courageous nnd
masterly struggles over recorded In polit
ical history the champion of the people
rights went down In defeat, mnde posslblo
only by the combined hostn of evil. Includ
ing the eastern wing of the old democratic
party that has been ever reudy to sell Its
birthright for n mess of pottage nnd re
pudiate every principle of democracy, now
nnd old. With thene forces nnd false pre
tences, coupled with bulldozing, terrorizing
of labor nnd bribery, the rights of the
people wcro overthrown. Flushed with III
'gotten victory tho republican party has not
hesitated to violate every pledge made In
Its platform. It has established the gold
standard, cornered the greenback currency,
destroyed Nllvcr. Incrensed nnd perpetuated
the national debt for the benefit of the na
tional banks and impudently refusca to
turn a hand to restrain or abolish the vnst
combinations which have furnished Itn
campaign funds during the last two i:a
tlonal olectlons. It has Inaugurated a policy
of Imperialism that has swept aside nil
constitutional bnrrlers and In rapidly bring
ing our great republic to tho level of tho
effete monarchies of the Old World, thus
dishonoring us In the eyes of every nation,
outraging every principle of Justice, op
pressing and pauperizing labor, aiding and
abetting corporato power In itn well
directed efforts to restrain Intelligent labor
from successful organization.
Too Much for Bryan.
It hos become evident to all broadmlnded,
honest and patriotic ' men that Juutlcc in
behalf of the common people cannot bo se
cured to cither of tho old political parties,
for the very obvious reason that the na
tional banks unci trust elements own the
leadership of both. It Is now generally be
lieved that no greater blessing can come to
the masses of tho common people than tho
complete capture of both old party organ
isations by the cohorts of greed and mo
nopoly. Even the great Intellectual power
and Individuality of Mr. Bryan nre unequal
to the task of transforming the old dem
ocratic party luto n party of the people,
for tho reason thnt Its leadership Is In
trenched In tho camp and behind the brenst
works of the money power, pretending to be
democrats, when, In fact, thoy are galvan
ized republicans who, secretly and under
cover, use their money and influence to
foist the republican party Into power. We
believe the time has come when the old
democracy should be discarded nnd forced
to remain In the camp of our enemies,
where It hits pitched Its tent and fought Its
battles during tho last two campaigns. This
can be done only by abandoning the name
"democrat" to them nnd battl; for the.'
people's cause under some other and better
name.
Ilr. J. E. Chambers was elected temporary
chairman of the convention, and he tald:
The poison germ la the plutocratic mi
crobe that hns marked the democratic party
for death. Wo already have seen Its vile
ulcers of purification appear In Ohio, Penn
sylvania. Massachusetts and Maryland, and
MIsriourl'H two United States senators ap
pear to be contaminated by Its Influence.
To the Hrynn democrats of the nation I
wish to say thot what wo have received
In St. Louis at the hundH of reorganlzeri
la only what you muy expect throughout
tho nation. And the day nnd the hour U
now upon us to step out of the democratic
party nnd step Into this movomont which
Is In harmony with our principles, dive the
old name of democracy and the old nnd
onfeobled body which has outlived Its use
fulness, that standi) as It does today n

limp, halt nnd .blind, carrying upon I s
bnck the mistakes nnd crime of a century
give thnt old carcass that Is now reeking
with filth to the Drover Cleveland reorgan
ized and allow them to take It and bury Its
political bones In tho potters' field of ob
livion. Tbe temporary organizations was made
permanent and a committee of five consist
ing of one fusion populist, two middle-of-the-road
populists and two members or flic
public ownership party was appointed to
prepare an addresH to tho public outlining
tho principles and purpoits of thlt reform
movement.

I.nmliert Files Aiicnl.
City Attorney Lambert has returned from
Lincoln whero he appeared before the su-,
premo court nnd filed appeals in threo tax
cases.,. , In these casc' tho, decision has
been against the city and It fs tho Intention
of tho administration to put up tho boit
f.ght It can. Every effort will be made. Mr.
Lambert says, to havo the decision of tho
lower courts reversed. This special tax
litigation has caused the city to lose a
great deal of money and the Idea of taking
theso cases to the supremo court Is to se
cure If possible, a decision which will nut
a stop to tho bringing of similar suits In
Improvement districts. In casea whero tho
lmp'rovementB have been made and the
taxpayers contest the right to nsscss spe
cial taxes, tho city has to pay the cost and
this Is deemed unfair.
Si'lmnl Telephones. ,
Superintendent McLaln has gono on rec
ord as In favor of Installing telephones In
tho school houses. Ho snyc that tho school
houses aro so far apart that It takes a
great deal of hla tlmo In traveling when It
could bo put to a better purpose. With
telephones the superintendent would bo In
constant communication with nil of tho
principals, teachers arid' janitors In the cltv.
The committee on bultdlngs and grounds
will advise with the management of the
Nebraska Telephone company In connection
with this matter. It Is expected that the
phones will be Installed as Superintendent
McLaln' consider hlfl tlmo worth more thnn
the' cost of the telephones.
.Gna Stove" Ordered.
The Omaha Gas company was directed
yesterday to, place two gas stoves In tho
city office tin order to supply heat enough
to enablo -tho (clerks to work. So far tho
agents of the city hall building have made,
no effort to start tho furnaces aud It Is
reported that as the holler is out of repair
It will take n month to put tho heating
machinery In good shape. It Is understood
that the council will deduct tho cost of the
gas bill and the price of (he stoves used
,trom tho monthjy rental bill.
' Thnt License Question. " ,
Acting Mayor Adkins has Investigated the
statement that a numher of saloons aro run
ning without a license. Of the six re
ported to him ho found two without a .li
cense. Oie of Iheso han been paid In and
a transfer of the other license has been
asked for. Tfco other four had licenses
but the numbers and locations given to tho
chief of pollco by Councilman August Mil
ler wore wrong. There Is one transfer
asked for and this will doubtless be granted,
Acting Mayor Adkins has done all that
ho can, he says, to nbato these complaint,
four "of' which were filed without anv
"grounds wbatevor.
Confide nre Men Ilnsy.
Several complaints havo been made to tho
pollco lately that stockmen and strangers
were being confldcnced out of their raonov
by sharpers who frequent the lower end of
N street. Ono or two arrests havo been
made by tho police, but eo far there Is
a lack of convictions. Tho attention of
.Acting Mayor Adkins Is to be called lo
these violations of tho law and ho will
possibly put a stop to this kind of work.
