PRIZE SCHEMA THAT FAfLED TO PAN 6uT Ta'aat A4 Gealas HtkH Bad Break aad The a, Trlea ta Cover r Crawllaa- Tkreasti a Kaaf Bale. The following Inquiry, wltn reference to the relative number of want ads published In tha Omaha newspapere, haa been re ceived by Tha Bee: Omaha, Nov. se, rtualness Mansrer of Tha Bee: Will you please tell me what paper published tha most Want ads on Sunday during the month of November and whether The Pee or "World-Herald land and by liow much? - I made a bet that Tha Bee would, lead by over So and claim that 1 won. The World-Herald, however, published an article on Tuesday that "The Bee could rot be consloWed in their cotiteet and that the Newa wan accorded second place and ed for sompariaon." o i win my tjat or not? . J. JENSEN For Mr. Jensen'e bencllt and for othera Interested It may be said the World Herald'a Information on this subject la Just about a reliable aa tha election newa It published, throngh which many of Ita read era were duped Ipto believing that tha fualon candidate for governor waa elected. or Ita Inflate circulation statement which It Is putting out In aplta of tha fact that only a year ago It waa unable to satisfy tha council 3T the district . court that it had 6,000 circulation In Omaha. The fact of tha matter ta that a new, 1m. ported genlua at tha World-Herald office bethought Itself of a wonderful scheme. The Baa baa regularly published a larger number of actual paid want ada than any paper In Omaha. The faot that the World Herald han been giving away a consider able percentage of its advertising has fooled a few people. 80 Its latent London Importation concocted a wonderful scheme. Hla proposition waa to the effect that ha would glva certain prizes to those guess ing; tha number of paid want ads which the World-Herald would publish In ezcesa of those published by Its nearest com petitor. This schema was launched at tha eleventh hour, being published first In the Friday evening World-Herald, with the idea that Tha Bee want ad solicitors would not have time' to make any extra effort to overcome tha World-Herald's free ad vertising and padding on the following Sunday. Tha attempt, however, failed and Tha Be bad a lead In paid want ada over the total number published by tha World Herald. In aplta of tha World-Herald's efforts throughout tha week to awell its want ad column, together with the usual list, of free .advertlsementa and padding, t the following Sunday, ... i. ' . . ' . .1 . . A BIsT Fall Dowi, Tha next Sunday tha World-Herald force, by 'a tremendous effort; succeeded In mak ing , a gain of about W0. while Tha Bea published over 1,200 classified advertise ments mora than tha World-Herald. Tha World-Herald ramp waa thrown Into con fusion, and, seeing that they were hope lessly out of the race, they proceeded to ahut their eyea and refused to tea any thing but their amaller competitor. Tha last Sunday of tha month The Bea again . broke tta own record and published 1,665 paid want ads. The result waa that. Tha Bea led the World-Herald for the four Sunday In November by about 8,000 paid want ada, as compared with everything - published by Its competitor. With regard to the 'excuse that soma advertlsementa published by Tha Bea were one' Una buslnesa notices, the atatement la I corgect, but thioiveajinii Jaaytappeared ' In Th8 Bea and) not. In, tha World-Herald waa that tha business men aolllclted be lieved this advertising la a goad Invest ment In Tba Bea and could not be Induced to go Into tha World-Herald, In spite of the personal pleaa of Mr. : Hitchcock, the proprietor of the publication, having been added to tha force' of want ad solicitors. After the fakirs found that they could not get thla business they suddenly claimed to have discovered that theaa email one line ads were "unfair" and are now using this as the' only ahleld behind which they c: n crawl. :. . Aa a matter of fact around the World Herald office most of the employes are laughing In their sleeves over this stroke of genius that failed to hit tha mark and outside of their office they quietly admit that they were badly beaten at their own game. They seem to consider tha whole thing a tremendous Joke on the new, Im ported genlua, and tha burden, of their anng la "Back to Feggy London with tha Duke." , . . . , t If Mr. Jensen only estimated that Tha Bee would run 500 ahead of tha World Herald In th contest ha haa a wide margin in ljir favor. Ha wins his bet. all three of the principals, but the cere mony went throush. f pernle evidence may be believed, without a single faux pee. MAN HELD FOR HEINOUS CRIME Hereee Chirk, Middle Aged, Does Sst Dewy Bala af Twa Little Girls. After Investigating the case of Horaca Clark, arrested Wednesday evening on the charge of having forced Immoral relative with Margaret and Gladys Ca?e of 1401 South Sixteenth street. Aaeistant County Attorney Magney filed a complaint of criminal assault against Clark In police court, charging the prisoner with assault ing Gladys, the elder of tha sisters. It la probable another complaint will be filed against Clark. It being aliened he main tained the same relations with both girls. The prisoner waa pale and nervous when brought Into the court room before Mrs. Case and her daughters. Clark decided to waive preliminary examination and was bound Over to the district court by Police Judge Berks- Tha bend waa placed at 13,500. If the facta of the case aa related by Mrs. Caaa and her daughters be true tha case Is a mo't revolting and helnoua one, wherein the sisters. 11 and 14 yeara of age, and fatherless for three years, have been Imposed upon by a man 35 yeara of age. Not only do the girls aay they have been the victims of the man's lust, but physi cians declare they have been contaminated with a loathsome disease. Mrs. Case says she haa lived In Omaha fourteen years and has been a widow three yeara. She haa eight children and haa had a hard time since the death of her hus band. Often aha has been forced to go out and work by the day that her family should not want. She haa known Clark for five years and during the last year tha man made hla home with tha Cases. He Ingratiated himself into tha family to the rvxtent that he waa a member of the household, Mrs. Caaa atatea. Until re cent developments aroused the suspicion of the mother Clark waa above reproach In tha eyea of Mra. Case. The revelatlona of her daughtera came aa a terrible thock to her and aha waa at first alow to believe them. ' Oladya has told her mother that her rela tions with Clark date back nearly a year. Ob her thirteenth birthday anniversary he gave her a ring, and aha saya the man haa intimidated her by-telling her ahe would be aent to the reform school should aha reveal the awful truth. Clark la a barber and haa been employed at vartoua places in Omaha. When asked whether he had anything to say regard ing the caaa and the charges preferred against him he replied In the negative. tha case began to. think hla wife had promised him a box of cigars for Christ NEW CLOCK IN POLICE COURT Old Timepiece (Joes to Scrap Pile and Jadge and Prose eatov Smile. An unusually broad and genuine smile graced the face of Police Judge Berka when ha opened court Some of hla frlenda who did not, at first, know the facta of in ta a box mas or some stroke of fortune had come Into hla life. v The cauae for the smile Is a new clock that haa been placed on the wall In the police court room. Tha old timepiece bad outlived Ita usefullness; It waa becoming dilatory In recording the flight of time and like all things material, had at last been relegated to the scrap pile. Tha Judge la a stickler for the facts even when It comes "o a piece of mechanism and ha believea the new clock will give the lima of day without fear or favor. And Hot only did the Judge have -a smile yes- terday. City Prosecutor Lee could, not resist an occasional cachtnnation as he glanced toward the clock and saw that it la new. Marriage Llceaaea.

SALARY FUNDS ARE SIIORT Monej to Fj Firamei, Polioe aid Othar ii Lacking. WARM SESSION HELD AT CITY HALL Coaacllmea Lay Blame an I.oberat and Ilea a la as, aad City Attorney Wright Halda Connell ta Areoant. The annual woe pertaining to tha lack of city funds to pay salaries for tha clos Ing montha of the year has been revived. In a note to the council Comptroller Lo beck mentions the fact that the fire fund la mlnua M.Slt.gS, needed to pay November wagea to the firemen, and 11.415 El due the men who have been cleaning tha atreeta. Therefore, when the salary appropriation ordinance for November waa passed by the council at a special meeting yesterday tha whole budget for Bremen and atreet cleaners waa left out. Councllmen had a vague Impression that the scavenger tax sale would fill the coffers to overflowing. The conference they held with City Attorney Wright and Comptroller Lobeck Just before noon waa Just a trifle short of being wildly exciting. The treae urer and comptroller were accused of wickedly deceiving the council, the mem bers saying they had been aasured money would be plentiful. When Comptroller Lo beck announced that $10,000 aet aside from the general fund for a municipal asphalt plant had been eaten up and no money re mained in the general fund, there was a howl. Lobeck admitted he had never been formally authorized to spend the money, but had been sanctioned to do so Informally by the councllmen. The laher had for gotten about any such occurrence. Cartala Lecture by Wrlgbt. "I don't question but that you have been asaured the scavenger sales would give you all the money you need," aald Attorney Wr1ght "but S'our advisers seem to hava overlooked the fact that wa have U1,00( to pay '.ck Into the funding bond fund for money borrowed last year to tide the city over on account of the deficiency caused by the railway tax litigation. Now thla money has to be reimbursed, and It must comd from the scavenger sales or wa will be the object of a mandamus suit by persons hold ing warrants and Judgments against tha city who want their money. The ecavenger law already haa resulted In tha turning of from $100,000 to $160,000 bock taxes In your coffers, but from tha time you adopted a resolution on November I authorising all scavenger sale money to be put into tha funding bond fund none of It has been used to help out the regular city funds. I shall Insist upon the council keeping Ita promiaa and reimbursing tha fund, which waa uaed only by common consent." This atatement caused tha councilman to ponder seriously. Then they began a bom bardment of City Treasurer flennlngs and Comptroller Lobeck that lasted until 12:30. Lobeck tried to tell them ha ahowed them In September that the city waa get ting behind tha game, but hla effort to square himself waa futile. Councilman Back admitted he had urged tha spending of thousands of dollars on atreeta and al leys after the showing had been made, but laid tha blame to the door of the treasurer, whom, he aald, had told him there would be money galore. Comptroller Lobeck produced figures to show that $286,718 had been spent from the general fund thla year, or $31,000 more than tha law allows, but aald the excess had come from back taxes. Ha aald tha reason for the lack of funds waa In the fact that more work had been done grad ing, leveling and repairing streets and al leys than ever before tn the history of Omaha. ' After all this, councllmen were Informed that there would be no money to pay the firemen, hardly any to pay the police and little for anything else during the month of December. Another meeting ia to be called to try to devise a financial plan that will get the city out of the hole. KENNEDY SUCCEEDS BARTLETT New District Jadge Takes His Seat In Court Room Number Three. Tha district Judges held an official meeting yesterday. Tha principal purpose waa to extend the Judicial welcome to tha new ermine-wearer. Judge Howard Kennedy, Jr., who aucceeeda Judge Bartlett. Judge Kennedy had Intended to go over during tha morning and hear a few little civil suits, but his exequatur failed to arrive from the palace In Lincoln. Aa he could not act with sincere legality until this document arrived, he concluded to pass the morning in some other place than court room No. 8. The Judges also fixed the amount of tha bonds for deputy county attorneys In view af tha change In tenure of office among these men. One thousand dollars has been tha amount put up heretofore and It will continue to be during tha new ad ministration. Tha Judges at their New Year's meeting will fix the salaries. The pay up till now haa been $100 a month and there la every reason to believe no chilling parsimony will be Indulged In during the Immediate future. Another thing which the Judges are now considering Is whether or not a new panel of Jurymen will be necessary for January. A division of opinion exiata aa to whether there Is suf ficient business to carry the court . through to the beginning of the February term. ERRING ONES HAVE BAD DAY Lea Wallace, Forger, Goes to Lincoln and William Taylor Is Convicted. Tha criminal court haa been giving a few Jolts to Impure humanity and ia receiving a few In return. The Jury that handled tha business which William Taylor had with tha criminal court brought in a verdict agalnat tha colored man of guilty in a charge of forgery. The foolish laborer bad andoraed the name of O. P. Shrura on the back of a check tn favor of tha latter drawn by John H. Harta on tha Omaha National bank for $23.76. Taylor will be sentenced later.
