eventually lead to an Industrial paralysis
that would make the situation too serious
for the civil authorities to cope with.
Feverish labor conditions were apparent.
Not th least sensational of the day's de
velopments was th re-entry of the Union
Traction company phase of the situation.
Important demands for Increased wages
and 6thr requests mads by employes to
the managers of the big street railway sys
tem today brought the company again to
the verge of a strike. Delivery of so
called "unfair" coal to the traction com
pany's power plants has heretofore caused
serious apprehension, but ponding the mak
ing of a new agreement with the company,
leaders of the street car union compelled
the union firemen to handle the coal. Now
the crystallized demands of the employes
are: Increase of grlpmen's pay from 23
to 24 cents an hour and reduction of the
probationary period from six months to
three months.
MAN AND TWO WOMEN HELD UP j
Three Men Relieve Them of Valuables
on Council Dion's Side
of River.
Three men, two of whom were masked,
held up at the point of revolvers R. James
of 1301 Webster street and Georgle Foster
and Grace Wood of 1324 Capitol avenue at
10:30 o'clock last night near Metcalfe's
roadhouse in Council Bluffs. The man and
two women were returning to Omaha from
a buggy drive. When they had reached
a dark point on the road not far from
the Metcalfe place a man who was not
masked ran out Into the road and grasping
the bridle reins and flourishing a big re
volver told the occupants of the buggy to
get out and hold up their hands, threaten
ing to shoot them if they made any noise
or tried to defend themselves.
' At this moment two men who wore
masks came from the roadside and with"
flourishing revolvers and threats proceeded
to search the man and the women. They
took $17.06 and a watch frpm James and
tl from the Foster woman. The other
woman did not have any money.
"You folks have done pretty well," said
one of the highwaymen, "and I will give
you something to remember us by and as
a reward for your good conduct," and he
gave each of them a 44-callbre cartridge.
"Keep these In remembrance of Pat
Crowe,"" were the" last words spoken by
the bandits as they backed off Into the
darkness and disappeared. The man and
two women made a rapid trip from that
section of the country and did not stop
until they reached the police station in
Council Bluffs, by which tlm they had so
far recovered from their fright that they
ware able to tell of their experience. No
trace of the robbers has been found.

TIBBLES ACCUSES BRYAN
Veteran Populist Baji Democratic; Leader
Violated Compact with Him,
HOW A BAD LUNG GOT STRONG OVER NIGHT
Late Vice Presidential Candidate
Takes the Lid Off of Some Dnlnas
In the Nebraska Fusion
Camp.
t'nder the caption of "The Story of a
Suppressed Populist Newspaper," bv
Thomss H. Tibbies, people's party candi
date for vice president, Tom Watson's mag
azine In Its current Issue exposes some in
side facts of the fusion regime In Nebraska
not previously generally known. The -text
of Mr. Tibbies' contribution Is the con
certed effort to squeeso out the Nebraska
Independent as a free populist organ, which
under his editorship hud come to be opposed
to further fusion. The main features of
the article In some places almost sensa
tional are herewith reproduced.
Mr. Tibbies starts out with a recital of
the fact that at one time 1,500 weekly papers
were advocating the Omaha platform, but
that they were gradually extinguished until
the Independent was the only one of con
sequence left. He continues:
Notwithstanding all such schemes the
Nebraska Independent lived and Its circu
lation gradually extended Into every state
and territory. It became evident that to
get rid of It other tactics would have to be
employed. To destroy the paper was not
the objective. It' was to destroy the peo
ple's party, with the Independent In hos
tile hnnfls the political fortifications built
up by It In Nebraska and other states
would lie deserted and the Bryan, Belmont,
Sheehan nnd Tom Taggart democratic party
could walk In and take possession.
Hon Fusion Was Forced.
"The main battle was fought In the popu
ullst state convention August 10, 1904. The
proposition to force a fusion with the demo
crats under the lead of the most disrep
utable end of Wall street, fresh from Us
victory In St. Louis, on the face of It was
most absurd. But the doing of absurd
things never ruffles the placid countenance
of Mr. Bryan. The Idea that there could
be any real Opposition to his Imperial will
In Nebraska, aside from the republican
party, never seemed to enter his mind.
Heretofore when Mr. Bryan entered a dem
ocratlc or populist convention the fusion
populists and democrats Immediately bowed
and worshipped. The only thing that con
ventlon had to do wns to find out what
Mr. Bryan wished and then proceed to do
It with all possible hnste. It became evi
dent that this convention would have to be
handled differently. Mr. Bryan all the win
ter, spring and summer had been denounc
ing Judge Parker as a 'dishonest candidate,
running on a dishonest platform," and then
he had come home from St. Louis, sat
down at his desk and the first words that
he wrote were: 'I shall vote for Parker
and Davis.' The populists remembered how
for eight years he had been coming to their
conventions, and In his sweet and winning
way telling them how noble they were to
put principle above party and vote for men
of another party if they thought they could
advance reform by so doing. Mnny of
them, who had always supported Mr. Bryan
since he first appeared on the battlefield of
politics, thought that the time had come
when he should practice what he preached.
Mr. Bryan realized that there was trouble
ahead, but It was thought If the Nebraska
Independent would support the Bryan plan
that a fusion legislature could be elected
that would send Mr. Bryan to the United
States senate.
"The editor of the Independent was ob
streperous. He had had enough of fusion
with a party half of which was more dis
reputably plutocratic than the republican
party, and whose 'Irrevocable' rules were
so rigid that they required a man, upon
a vote of a convention, to come out boldly
before the people and advocate a policy
he had denounced by pen and voice for
eight years. All sorts of schemes were
devised to bring this obstreperous editor
Into subjection to the Imperial will of Mr.
Bryan. The first was to send all the lead
ing men of the state, from the chief Jus
tice down, to use persuasion. That failed.
Then Mr. Bryan's personal dally organ In
the state tried a new deal. It poured out
on Mr. Tibbies the most fulsome flattery
day after day. It said If he would only
say 'fusion every populist In the state
would obey his command. When all that
failed Mr. Bryan came himself. The propo
sition that he made was that a fusion
electoral ticket be put In the field com
posed of four populists and four demo
crats. Mr. Bryan saying that 'In the event
of their election each party could count
the full vote as Its own.' The proposition
was instantly rejected. Others followed.
Mr. Bryan came to the Independent edi
torial room four different times, using all
his eloquence and persuasive powers to
get the editor to consent to and advocate
a fusion with a party that had nominated
Parker and whose campaign was put into
the hands of the most disreputable gang
that every sought Wall etreet favor.
Compliments to Mr. Berge.
"Mr. Bryan gave orders that everything
visible, clear to the political horlion, and
other things Invisible lying behind the
floating clouds, should be offered to the
populist convention, providing that the
populists would fuse. The battle was
fought out on the convention floor. Many
democrats had secured seats as delegates.
One democrat came over from his own
convention and answered to the call of
Thurston county In the populist conven
tion, which had no delegates present, and
voted the fifteen votes that county was
entitled to every time for fusion. Out
of the hell-broth brewed in that all-night
session there floated upon the fusion scum
Bryan, Belmont, Sheehan, Tom Taggart
and, remember this last name, George W.
Berge.
"As soon as the vote for fusion had been
announced In the convention as prevail
ing more than half the delegates present
whole counties had been voted for fusion
when only one or two delegates were In
the city rose and left. The next morn
ing they hired a hall and discussed the
proposition of putting a straight populist
ticket In the field, but when it was remem
bered that the fuslonlsts bad the legal or
ganisation and the ticket would have to
go on the ballot under some other name
than people's party, the project was aban
doned. The result was that 20,000 popu
lists voted the. republican ticket, 30,000
stayed at home and refused to vote, and
a little over 20,000 voted the populist na
tional ticket. The senate of the Nebraska
legislature was solidly republican; the
house had only nine fuslonlsts In it. Mr.
Bryan saw to It that they all cast their
votes for a straight democrat for United
States senator. All that was necessary to
get the fuslonlsts to do that, both those
who called themselves democrats and
those who called themselves populists,
was for them to imagine that they heard
a far-off rumble that sounded like the
voice of Bryan saying: 'Vote for a demo
crat." Where Tibbies Got Bnneaed.
'When the conventions were over and the
campaign committees appointed the fuslon
lsts found that It was a difficult thing to
make a campaign In Nebraska. Something
must be done to get the Independent to
fight the battle for them, but the Inde
pendent still declared that It would not
support a Parker democrat. Then, sad to
I
Nona better made-Nona bettor known
Ths rensnus McKIBBIM fusrsntes and to-
tutclr correct styles mks MclUBBIN TTt
hats a "sun pr Invsrrmsnt 4
relate, the editor of the Independent got
taken In himself.
"The chairman of the democratic state
committee, a brother-in-law to Bryan,
came to Mr. Tibbies, declaring that he rep
resented Mr. Bryan and was speaking In
Bryan's name, and made the following
proposition:
"If Mr. Tibbies would spend most of his
time out of the state during the campaign
and let the Independent support tho fusion
ticket, all of whose nominees except three
were populists, Mr. Bryan bn his part
would agree to go to Arizona or Colorodo
and get ,slck. He would continue to keep
sick until the close of the campaign, so sick
that he would not be able to make any
political speeches at all. An exception was
made In regard to Indiana. It was said
that Mr. Bryan had promised to make
three speeches in Indiana In support of his
old personal friend, who was running for
governor In that state, but It was further
stipulated that these three speeches should
not be politlcnl speeches, but repetitions of
Mr. Bryan's lecture on 'Ideals.'
"Mr. Bryan went to Arizona and sent
home a letter saying that he was worse and
would not be able to deliver any political
speeches during the campaign. That letter
was printed In the Lincoln dally papers and
was shown to Mr. Tibbies as proof that
Mr. Bryan was keeping his contract.
"The chairman of the democratic state
committee went to New York, saw Parker,
Sheehan, Belmont, Tom Taggart and the
rest of the band of financial and political
pirates. He came home with money for
campaign expenses. Then Mr. Bryan hired
a special train nnd went out speeenmaking
In Nebraska and in other states. The sur
prising rapidity with which his lung healed
has never been equaled In all the history
of medicine.
Brrge'e Newspaper Ambitions.
"Mr. Berge George Washington Berge
received a large vote for governor. That
was because Mickey, the republican, who
was running for re-election, was cordially
hated by the whole republican party.
Thirty thousand republicans voted for
Berge, and then he was defeated. But
Berge Is a fuslonlst. He wants office, and
especially the office of governor of Ne
braska. "Mr. Berge Is a lawyer. He never has had
a day's experience In a newspaper office.
He announced that he would start a paper
in Lincoln tn opposition to the Independent.
Then a proposition was made to the pro
prietor of the Independent to sell out. A
very large price was offered. When the
proprietor faced these facts he began to
get discouraged. He had grown up In
Lincoln. He had associated with these
fuslonlsts for years. The fight which he
saw In the future with these men was an
unpleasant thing to contemplate. The cost
of running a great newspaper plant Is
large. When It was known that the home
advertising would In part be lost, and also
a large share of the Job work, the mo
ment the editor defied Bryan and the
fuslonlsts the outlook was gloomy.
"The proprietor of the Independent was
bound In the contract transferring to
George Washington Berge the title to the
pnper, not to engage In the business of
publishing a reform paper for five yenrs,
but the fuslonlsts found that It would be
Impossible to put any shackles on the
editor. He Intends to fight on. Just as
all the world Is beginning to accept popu
list principles he does not propose to
sheathe his sword and stand by, a passive
spectator. The greatest battle of the age
Is to be fought. He 'Is going up against'
that crowd again.
"The populists of the different states and
territories who have been readers of the
Independent will In the near future have
a place to express their views and read
discussions of the great problems that are
pressing for solution. We will be heard.
The people's party Is not dead. The Ne
braska Independent will rise from Its ashes
stronger and better than ever before. The
vilest, rottenest, worst smelling spot In all
the preserves of plutocracy Is that place
where the fuslonlst roams, seeking to de
stroy the organization that gave him the
only opportunities of his life."

SUPREME COURT SUSPENDS INJUNCTION
Prosperta for n Hl Leal Buttle
Heavy Preesnre Ilelna Bronaht to
Bear Aaalnat Members
of Council.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-The bitter
feeling that has been engendered by the
gas lease fight was intensified toady when
Mayor Weaver practically ejected from the
office of the departments of public safety
and public works his two former directors
and again Installed the men appointed by
him on Tuesday. The news crented con
siderable excitement In the city hall and on
the pollllral "rlalto" and nearly all that
were Interested assembled In the vicinity of
the mayor's office to learn of the next
move. This came quickly, but from an un
expected quarter the slate supreme court.
While the mayor was ordering his old
directors out of their offices his attorneys
appeared In the supreme court and obtained
a special supersedeas suspending the tem
porary Injunction granted to the old direc
tors yesterday by the county court. A
dramatic Incident of the day wns the great
ovation given Mayor Weaver by several
thousand persons on his way from tho city
hall to the Union league for lunch. H was
looked upon by those opposed to the lease
as nn Indication of the trend of popular
sentiment.
A rumor that the mayor Is to be Im
peached spread today. For what particular
offense whs not clearly defined. One story
had It that he would be brought before the
bar of the city council for his conduct of an
election fraud case while he was district
attorney and another rumor had It that he
was to be made to answer to some alleged
lapse of duty while In his present position.
All attempt to confirm the Impeachment
rumor failed. The leaders of the organisa
tion were closeted all day, either with their
small army of attorneys, among whom are
numbered some of the most prominent law
yers in the city, or were receiving reports
from their ward leaders.
OrKanlsation Stands Pat.
The organization lenders say they con
tinue to "stand pat" on the gns lease and
that their ranks are solid all along the line.
On the other hand, Mayor Weaver an
nounced late today that he lind assurances
that the vote In both council chambers
when his veto Is considered will bechanced
materially from the vote taken last week.
The councilmen who favor the gas leaso
are having a hard time of It. They are
being swamped with protests and delega
tions of neighbors are calling on them at
their homes or places of business, or are
holding them up on the streets.
With the exception of the tlmo he went
to lunch, the mayor did not leave the city
hall from early In the morning until 8
p. m. He spent the day going over plans
for future action and In preparing to fight
the Injunction In the county court. Many
prominent lawyers and men called on him
either to assist him or congratulate him
for his attitude in the struggle.
Blsr I.eanl FIsrht In Prospect.
The offices of United States Senator Boise
Fenrose were the center of Interest for
men identified with the organization. Com
missioner Durham, Senator Penrose and
State Senator McNleol spent nearly the
entire day there In consultation with law
yers and ward leaders. Messengers kept
coming and going in an almost steady
stream, carrying Information, legnl papers
or law books. The army of lawyers were
also kept busy preparing for the coming
legal battle. With Ellhu Root of New
York leading one contingent of lawyers
and John K. Johnson of this city at the
head of the opposing array of attorneys, a
great legal war Is In prospect. A remark
able feature of the struggle Is the silence
that both sides are maintaining. Little
of consequence leaks out and nothing Is
known until a move Is actually publicly
made.
Federal OfllplaU Too Active.
It was reported today that President
Roosevelt will be asked to Issue a special
warning to federal employes to keep out
of the gas lense fight. It Is charged by
some of the anti-gas lease people that
the organization Is calling upon federal
officeholders to use their influence with
councilmen in behalf of the gas lease.
This Is denied by organization leaders.
Leaders against the organization say they
know government employes are bringing
pressure to bear on the councilmen and
that If It continues a delegation of citi
zens will go to Washington to see the
president.
Mayor Weaver Is receiving hundreds of
letters and telegrams of congratulation.
Councilmen Change Votes.
As a result of the agitation against the
lease three select and six common council
men have now announced that they would
change their votes on the lease. This would
make the vote In select council stand 34 for
the lease and 8 against, and In the common
council 68 for and 16 against. It takes a
two-thirds vote to pass an ordinance over
the mayor's veto.
There were two big ward meetings held
tonight. At one of the meetings two of
the common councilmen attended and an
nounced that they would support the
mayor.

discussed Drnnlson or the Pollock robbery
with Beane
Ho denied that he had told a detective
named Tlllotson that he had made the re
mark that Drnnlson was a gambler, had
made his money skinning people, and that
he "Intended to skin Dennlson."
He denied that he had told Mrs. Eva

when taking the Tollock diamonds Into
Omaha.
He denied that he had told Sheriff Court
land or his deputy, O. B. Wilson, who took
him to the penitentiary at Fort Madison,
that he had taken the diamonds Into
Omaha.
He denied talking with Frank Balrd or
Michael Conway about the robbery.
These questions and others regarding con
versations Shercllffe was supposed to have
had with other parties were read by At
torney Connell from affidavits or statements
from the parties to whom rthercliffe was al
leged to have talked. In each Instance he
denied the discussion of the robbery, though
he admitted In several Instances that he
had talked with the parties.
Lays Job Onto Other Man.
He was asked If he knew a party named
Wetmore and answered that he had met
him. He was asked then If he knew that
Wetmore was a private detective In tho em
ploy of Thomas, but Thomas objected and
the objection wns sustained.
He denied thst he had made a proposition
to Wetmore to put up a Job on Walter
Moles, but that Wetmore had made such a
proposition to him and he had reported It
to the county attorney of Harrison county.
He was then asked If he had not told
Wetmore that he would disappear before
the trial of Dennlson and compel Moles to
put up $2,000 and then Wetmore could find
him. He denied that.
He was then asked If Wetmore did not
say It would require a third pary, as he
could not make the demand for the money.
He said no.
Then Connell said:
"Did not you and Wetmore nnd Joe
Sherry eat dinner together at the Iowa
hotel and then go to a room In that hotel
and Wetmore tell you that "this was the
third man." Shercllffe denied that, but
later said the three had sat at tho same
table.
"In that room," said Connell, "did Wet
more tell you to explain the proposition to
Sherry nnd did you not do so, also telling
Sherry that you would go either to Canada
or Mexico and that he could come and get
you for the trlnl and that you said you
would want $2,000 for your share." Sher
cllffe denied that.
"Did you not tell Sherry that the Job
should pay from $3,000 to' $5,000; that he
could work both Dennlson, Moles and the
Civic Federation?" Shercllffe denied that.
At this Juncture the prosecution was ob
jecting so fiercely that Connell said:
"Joe Sherry Is a deputy sheriff of Doug
las county and he was sent to Iowa by
Honest John Fower, who three times has
been elected sheriff of Douglas county, for
the purpose of getting at the facts In this
case."
Where Moner Came From.
Without any previous warning Connell
then Jumped on to another lead. He asked:
"Hasn't the Civic Federation been paying
you expense money right along?"
The witness admitted that he had received
some money from the federation.
"Hasn't Thomas been paying you money
every month?" asked Connell.'
"He has paid my hotel expenses," an
swered Shercllffe.
"But hasn't ho been paying you money?"
"Not In the way you mean," answered
the witness.
"Answer me," thundered Connell. "Hasn't
Thomas handed you money by his own
hand?"
"yes," was the answer. "I think he gave
me $10 when I left prison."
And the witness added that Secretary
Ware of the Civic federation had also sent
him money.
"But hasn't Elmer Thomas sent you
money?"
"Yes."
"Well, how much, was It $500 or $100?"
"I don't recollect: maybe from $50 to
$100 to pay my expenses."
"Did he owe you anything?"
"No."
"Have you any claim on him?"
"No."
"Was It because of your remaining here
and giving testimony against Tom Den
nlson?" "I probably wouldn't have got It If I
hadn't remained," was the answer.
Others Are Contributors.
"Now, haven't you received money from
other parties?" demanded Connell.
"Yes, sir. From Elmer Thomas, Fallon
and the secretary of the Civic federation."
"Didn't you get a check from Harry
Brome?"
"Yes, sir, but I don't recollect how much
It was."
"Was It for $3&0?"
"No, It was not for that much, but I
can't say how much It was."
"How many of these checks did you re
ceive?" "I didn't keep track of them."
Then the witness Bald he probably got
five, though he could recall only one at
this time.
"Now then," said Mr. Connell, "haven't
you got several thousand dollars from
these parties?"
"I have not."
The witness denied thst he had been
promised $3,000, but added: "I don't ray
my expenses out of money I earn in a
blacksmith shop."
Fallow Witness" Life.
The remainder of the day and the time
previous to this little flurry the witness
was interrogated from depositions and
statements which had been made by parties
who claimed to have talked with Sher
cllffe. The questions showed that every step of
Shercllffe's life had been gone over thor
oughly. On one occasion he was asked it
he did not tell a party In South Omaha
that he felt nervous when bringing the
Pollock diamonds Into Omaha. Connell
identified the person by saying the conver
sation occurred at a time ha was being
attended when he was wounded and was
in the man's room.
"I refuse to answer that," said Shercllffe.
"I may incriminate myself, and that is
what you want me to do.'"
Again Shercllffe testified that when talk
ing with Dennlson about the latter getting
the diamonds he said Dennlson had not
described the train upon which he went to
Missouri Valley.
Connell dug up the affidavit of Shercllffe
and showed that he had sworn that Dennl
son had said he went out In the same ear
In which the robbery occurred. Then Sher
cllffe said he had not understood the ques
tion snd said the affidavit was correct.
He was still on the stand when court ad
journed and will testify further tomorrow.
