JEROME WILL GET EVIDENCE
Cosm Roles Lewlsohn Most Answer
Questions Rea-ardlnar t'anneld'e
(Gambling- Honse.
ALBANY, N. T., Nov. 15.-The court of
appeals handed down a decision today
against Jesse Lewlsohn of New York, who
was sentenced to prison for contempt of
court In refusing to answer questions re
garding the alleged gambling establish
ment of Richard Canfleld. Lewlsohn ap
pealed from the decision of the court of
general sessions on the ground that the
law which enacts that witnesses shall not
be excused from testifying because the
testimony might tend to convict them of a
crime was unconstitutional.
The specific questions that Lewlsohn re
fused to answer Inquired whether he had
ever entered and played roulette In the
alleged gambling house at No. 5, East
Forty-fourth street. New York, and
whether he had ever seen Richard Can
Held there.
Jerome was much elated over the decision
of the court of appeals In the Jesse
LewlBohn case. "The law In question .mak
ing a witness immune from prosecution
was carefully based upon a decision by the
supreme court of the United States," he
said. "Nothing else than the decision of
today could be expected."
Mr. Jerome said he will await the text
of (he decision before making his next
move In the case, and added: "If Lewlsohn
decides to give his testimony and thereby
purges himself of the contempt of court,
for which a sentence of fifteen days Is
hanjlng over his hesd, he will probably
be allowed to call it quits at that."
Edward Lauterbach, counsel for Lewls
ohn, said that If the decision of the court
Of Appeals was unanimous he will advlBe
his client to submit "Without appeal, but
If there was a division, with a substantial
minority, that he would consider whether
or not he would appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15. A considerable
quantity of dressed meats In cold storage
was Incinerated, much valuable property
and many blocks along the water front
were threatened by a Are which raged for
several hours In the United stock yards In
Jersey City early today. Whether any
human lives were lost Is not yet known,
but it was reported that three watchmen
employed In the building In which the
fire started had not been accounted for.
The damage Is estimated at $100,000.
The fire started In the cold storage room
of the plant and Is thought to have been
caused by an exploslun of ammonia. In
spite of all the efforts of the firemen the
fire crept steadily along the piers, at last
approaching dangerously near the great
stock piers, where thousands of cattle,
sheep and hogs were confined. The Erie
Railroad company's big grain elevator, con
taining thousands of bushels of grain ready
for export shipment, and the property of
the Berwlnd-Whlte Coal company were se
riously threatened, but the flames were
fought back before serious damage was
done In that direction.
W. A. Sherman, manager of the stock
yards, said that the loss might go to
$160,000. It la believed that no human lives
were lost.

HOPES TO COMPLETE WORK SHORTLY
Chief Kseeotlve Is Sow Devoting All
Time Possible to Doenment to
Be bald Before Con
gress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-At the cabinet
meeting today the president devoted all
the time of the session to a discussion
of his forthcoming annual message to
congress. No intimation of the nature of
the subjects considered was given. The
president Is anxious to complete his mes
sage before his trip to the St. Louis ex
position and Is giving all the time possible
to Its preparation. It Is well In hand now
and It probably will be placed In the hands
of the printer next week.
Talking of the Tarls?.
No decision yet has been reached by the
president and other republican leaders re
garding possible action of congress on the
subject of the tariff. It can be said au
thoritatively that no decision will be
reached as to such action either at a reg
ular or at an extraordinary session of the
Fifty-ninth congress until the subjfet has
been considered thoroughly by the presi
dent and his cabinet and hli political
friends In congreM. The president Is not
bound by any preconceived views on the
subject and is open to conviction as to the
most desirable course to pursue. He Is rot
Inclined to favor an extraordinary ses
sion, either for the purpoie of taking up
the tariff or any other subject, but It is
said to be too early yet even ti Indicate
the determination which eventually will be
reached.
Clark Bronlovr Dismissed.
John B. Brownlow of Tenneesee, a clerk
In the Postofflce department, who acted
as disbursing officer of the department at
the St. Louis exposition, was dismissed
from the service today by order of the
president. Brownlow was charged with
Impertinence and Insubordination, and, as
he declined to withdraw his oftenalve lan
guage, his dismissal followed.
While Postmaster General Payne was yet
alive he wrote Brownlow directing that he
send to the depsrtment a statement of his
receipts and disbursements. In response
Brownlow forwarded the aggregate sums
of hlf receipts and disbursements. The
postmaster general then ordered him to
submit to tho department an itemised state
ment of the moneys he had handled. This
Brownlow declined to do, accompanying
his refuse! with statements to the Pdt
master general which were considered of
fensive. He evidently felt that the de
mand of Mr. Payne was a reflection upon
his honor.
Postmaster General Payne presented the
matter to the president, who gave orders
that Brownlow should be dismissed from
the service. Prior to Mr. Payne's death no
action was taken In the case and it be
came an inheritance of Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne. When Mr. Wynne took up
the subject he Induced the president to
consent to sllow Mr. Brownlow to Continue
In the service provided he should withdraw
his offensive statements to the postmaster
general. Brownlow's accounts had been
found to be oorrect and Mr. Wynne told
him no reflections had been made on his
Integrity. Despite this assurance, however,
Brownlow, In a letter to Postmaster Gen
eral Wynne, refused to withdraw the state
ments he previously made. An order for
his dlspiissawas. signed todajv. . .,. .

HULL HEARING OPENS
(Continued from First Page.)
The Home office has secured all the frag
ments of the exploded shells and has
caused them to be spliced together. There
from an expert. In the manner of Sherlock
Holmes, related their origin, the angle of
firing caliber, etc., concluding with a
scientific demonstrstlon from the frag
ments that the trawler Mlno could not have
been hit unless the projectile hsd been de
liberately aimed at It. The skipper of the
! trawler Keith, In reply, to questions, de
clared that there were no Japanese traw
lers and no Japanese present, and that no
Japanese agents tnsde any suggestion to
him whatever. It would have been Im
possible for the trawlers, he sdded, to
screen a torpedo boat. "
Dr. Woodhouse elicited from the witness
that the trawlers did not attempt to show
distress or other signals With the view of
getting the Russians to cease firing.
How the Snipe Was Hit.
The skipper of the Snipe related how his
vessel had beeh hit". Dr. Woodhouse ques
tioned him closely. He asked Why he hsd
not stopped when the first shots were fired
or at least raised signals of distress.
There wag aom amusement when Dr.
Woodhouse aked: ,
"Did yoii want to get hit again?"
The aklpper, In the broadest Yorkshire
dialect, replied :
"Noa, that's why I kept a -going."
Counsel for the Board of Trade sug
gested It was rather hard to say what
would have made the Russians stop. Ad
miral Bridge pointed out that the Snipe
was technically not In distress, as It had
not been hit below water line.
Another skipper caused a laugh when ha
declared he never saw a Japanese in his
life.
This waa the tenor of the evidence
throughout the afternoon, Dr. Woodhouse
eliciting that It was the general belief on
the part of the fishermen that they first
thought the vessels were British war
ships maneuvering. It never occurred to
the trawlers to stop, but when they were
hit they ran.
"What would you have done?" asked one
burly fisherman, amidst laughter.
Dr. Woodhouse replied he was not the
skipper of a trawler.
The surgeon of the North sea hospital
ship. Alpha, was the last witness and
brought out the rather Important state
ment that the Alpha's lights were extin
guished soon after the fire commenced.
The inquiry was then adjourned.
Assessment of Damage.
The commissioner expressed satisfaction
at the progress made. It is hoped that all
the testimony regarding the cause of the
shooting will be concluded by the afternoon
of November 17. Cases of personal Injury
will then be takcrrup. These are expected
to be finished by November 18, whin tha
.venue will be changed to London, where
the assessment of' material damage will
be commenced. ''This to 'likely to prove the
most Intricate part of rtie inquiry. As Inti
mated today, an effort: Will. ba. triads to es
tablish broad claims for Indirect compen
sation on account of the. disintegration of
the trawling industry . consequent on the
Dogger bank affair. -
Dr. Woodhouse, whtt-Ja a local solicitor,
only today received telegraphic Instruc
tions to be present, the Russian embassy
having previously Informed the Russian
consul here that representation waa un
necessary. The embassy has hot given de
tailed instructions and unless such Instruc
tions are received no' witnesses will be
called in 'rebuttal or In behalf of Russia.
Dr. Woodhouse holds a merely watching
brief. Neither he- nor tho Russian consul
here are In possession of any evidence
tending to prove that Jepanese torpedo
boat were In the neighborhood of Doger
bank or that Japanese exercised any in
fluence upon the fishing fleet.
Both Admiral Bridge and Mr. Aspinall,
who are conducting the Inquiry on tha most
Impartial lines. Indicated by questions that
the trawler, which was separated ircm the
fishing fleet, might positively have bden
taken for a torpedo boat by the Rutelms.
A suggestion by' tha Russian consul that
the shelling was due to the trawler's fall
ing to stop when blank (hots wera fired
and the fact that the lights were extin
guished on at least one trawler, is consid
ered here In some degree to explain, though
not to excuse, the attack by the RutsUns.
Hassla Wonld Change Langnage,
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 15. A differ
ence has developed .between Great Britain
and Russia over the language of the arti
cle in the North sea convention relative
to the question of responsibility. At the
Foreign office it is sold that Russia does
not desire toj in any way recede from the
basis of the agreement, but it proposes a
modification of the language submltUiU lu
England's text. The admiralty, It is un-
aersiooa, contenaea all along that the in
ternatlonal communion should confine its
Inquiry to the establishment of the quae,
tlon whether torpedo boats were off tha
Dogger bank and whether In any event tha
Russian ships were justified In firing.
The Associated Press learns that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky'a detailed report
shows that some shots from the battle
ships hit the Russian protected cruiser
Aurora, one of the shells entering the
ward room and wounding a priest, who
afterward died at Tangier from the In
Juries which he sustained. The Russian
admiralty contends that this Is additional
proof of tha good faith of the vessels
which fired on what they believed to be
torpedo boats, not having aeen either the
fishing vessels or their own ships of the
cruiser division.
Lieutenant Ott, one of the Russian wit
nesses, will say positively that he saw
flames rising out of funnels of a ship.
Lieutenant Hills, another witness, who
was in a turret of the Russian battleship
Alexander III, sighted a gunboat, but did
not fire. He declares 'that he is positive
he saw a torpedo boat dostroyVr. Cap
tain Clado, also one of the witnesses, in
stated that he saw two torpedo boats, and
the depositions of the officers of the Rus
sian transport Ksmtchatka say they saw
tour boats resembling torpedo boats.

gates. Compared with other cities of
similar population, Mr. Millard said, Omaha
has the humane sentiment developed to a
very high degree. The state and local
laws on the subject, too, are much broader
and better than in even some of the oldest
eastern states. The good work done by the
national association la commending Itself

proximately 100,000 cases of cruelty to chil
dren and animals being handled yearly by
Its officers and agents.

committee of the national association, It
will devolve upon Mr. Millard to secure
100 life memberships at 1100 per year. He
has already one cash pledge of 1100 and
bIko a valuable gift that will produce an
other and possibly two memberships. As a
pledge of hearty support in his efforts the

Whereas. Alfred Millard has been made
chairman of the ways and mesns committee
of the American Humane association In
the convention at St. Louis,
Resolved, That It Is the Intention of the
members of the Nebraska Humane society
to aid him in obtaining funds for the main
tenance of that association.
As to legislation to be asked of the stste
assembly this year, the society has not yet
got its plans into such shape that they
can be given publicity.

to get Into the buggy after finishing his
business the horses started off. Clark had
no chance- to get Into the rig, but held onto
the lines and ran along beside the buggy.
Opposite Bennett's store workmen had
built a sort of platform over which teams
drove In reaching the street with loads of
dirt from a lot where a new building is
to be erected. Mr. Clark, who was plucklly
holding to the reins and trying to stop
tho Impatient horse, stumbled over this ob
struction, and when he fell tbe lines were
Jerked from his grasp. The horse then
started off at a faster gait, with the boy
still clinging to the seat, but at Sixteenth
and Howard Harry Hill ran up and stopped
the animal. ,
Mr. Clark was picked up by Officers Dillon
and Lambert and taken to his home at 2566
Poppleton avenue. He had a bad cut on
the right side of the head and lesser cuts
and bruises on his face, but Is not other
wise the worse for his untoward experience
