gardlng tlie r
of his testimony
resolutions criticising him
y In the Tom Dennlson
e at Red Oak and the cartoons printed
on the subject. Chief of Police Donahue
had this to Bay when questioned yesterday
morning by a Bee reporter:
"I feel that I have leen maligned and
placed In a false and unjust light. The I mony In any court under the same clrcum-
Dennlaon further than the question aa to
his honesty and Integrity, of course the
fact that Dennlson was a gambler would In
a measure hurt his reputation from a moral
standpoint, as It would the reputations of
hundreds of other men whom I know to be
honest and upright In business matters.
"Mr. Thomas and the newspapers have
Interviewed each and evepj- man referred
to by me as to Tom I)ennlson'a honesty and
Integrity and all of them corroborated
what 1 mid on the witness stand.
Why la II Klnaled Oatt
"I do not think that Mr. Thomas or any
of these people who adopted the resolutions
question the honesty of the Judge by whom
the case was tried, or the twelve honest
and upright men who sat on the Jury and
who decided the case as they thought right
and proer according to the law and the
evidence. Hut why I am singled out as the
main and star witness In the Dennlson cas?
I do not understand. What I testified to
In the Dennlson case Is absolutely true and
I would be compelled to give the same testl-

Civic Federation ana its agents are trying
t. make It appear that I rushed over, to
Bed Oak to espouse the cause of the de
fendant In this case with all the energy I
had at my command. A plain recital of the
facts may assist In freeing the public from
tiiese distortions of the truth.
"On the 19th day of May I was served
with a sut.poona by Constable Ed Simpson,
the summons' commanding me to appear at
Red Oak on May 2s and to bring with me
certain records and correspondence be
tween the authorities In Oklahoma and
myself with regard to Bhcrcllffe. This sub
poena Was Issued on behalf of the state of
Iowa by direction of Elmer E. Thomas. I
accepted the subpoena and the constable
tendered me the fees, r.iilch, I think,
amount-od to M.60. I told the -constable I
was leaving the dry that night to attend
the convention of the International Asso
ciation of Chiefs of Police of the United
States and Canada at Washington, D. C,
beginning May 22 and ending May 26. I
also told him I would be btiek In time to
testify In the case, as I was satisfied It
would not be ended until after I got back.
I went to Washington, arriving there on
the night of May 21 and on the evening of
May 22 I was In an automobile accident and
was badly shaken up. The following day.
according to newspaper accounts, Elmer E.
Thomas stated at Red Onk, In substance,
that he suspected the accident at Washing
ton wu a put up Job; that I was not hurt
and had given out the report purposely to
avoid being a witness against Tom Dennl
son at Red Oak.
. ' Goes to the Trial,
stances In answer to the question pro
pounded to me in this case.
"Thls man Thomas has resorted to some
of the most contemptible and disgraceful
methods of trying to procure evi
dence against me by promising to
convicts and others all sorts of things to
Induce them to make depositions against
me. I am reaJy and willing as chief of
police of Omaha to defend my official acts
and my administration of the office at any
time, in private or In public, and to permit
the closest Inspection of all I have dune as
the head of the police department.
"Had I not gone to Red Oak as a witness
In answer to a subpoena obtained by ths
prosecution, and after the attorneys had
agreed that my testimony could be Intro
duced v.hen I arrived, even though the
state had closed, what then would Mr.
Thomas say. In view of the fact he had In
timated In a public statement that I hod
purposely caused the news to be sent
over the wires that I had been hurt In
Washington In an automobile wreck?
Why did not Mr. Thomas allow me to
show my correspondence? Was It because
Sheriff Lund had told him that he had re
quested me to get certain Information with
the object of connecting Shercllrre with a.
burglary in Oklahoma, and that all the cor
respondence and the evidence gathered by
me at this end was at the request of the
Oklahoma authorities?
"I say It Is wrong to accuse me of par
tisanship In this'case and that none know
It better than my tradueers and enemies."
Whooplnar roi(b In Jamaica.
Mr. J. Riley Dennett, a chemist of Brown's
Town, Jamaica, West Indies, writes: "I
returned home cn tne morning of
JO. at wmcn time 1 cauea up u..- . , too hl.hlv of chamberlain's
phone and told him I . Coujrh Retnedv. It has craved itself to be
the best remedy for whooping cough, which
is prevalent on this end of the globe. It
has never failed to relieve In any caso
where I have recommended It, and grateful
mothers, after using It, are dally thanking
me for advising them."
le Simpson by
iviltiM in over to Red Oak June 1; that I
"had a case In the Douglas county court on
the morning of the 31st which would neces
sitate my presence. The constable told me
he had given my witness fees to Thomas.
"On tne morning of June 1 I took the
early train to Red Oak, arriving there about
9:26, taking with me all the correspond
ence asked for In regard to the crime Bher
cllffe was wanted for In Oklahoma. I pro
Xyded at once to the court room, where I
"Vlved Instructions that all witnesses were
famt.-ei from the room until called. I

I'l' u " ' " ......... ..
and had my copybooks and correspondence
placed In the vault. At 2 o'clock that after
noon I was sitting In front' of the Johnson
hotel when the sheriff called my name from
the court room. I went across the street
to the court house and got my copybooks
and correspondence, went up Into the court
room and was called to the witness stand.
After being sworn by Judge Green and an
swering some preliminary questions At
torney Connell asked me If I had been sub
poenaed by the state. Mr. Thomas imme
diately objected to my answering.
"That was the first Intimation I had that
I was nota- witness for.tbe state. . Attorney
Connell asked me whnt the package was I
hud with me and Mr. Thomas again ob
jected. Then Mr. Connell asked me If I
knew the reputotlon of Tom Dennlson for
honesty and Integrity In the community In
which he lives. 1 responded In the affirma
tive. He asked me what that reputation
was, and I replied that It was good. Vpbn
cross-examination Mr. Thomas asked me on
what I based my answer aa to Tom Dennl
sen's reputation being good. I answered
that I baaed my response on the fact that
I had heard some of the foremost men of
Omaha say so. He asked me who these
men were and I seld they were business
men of Omaha and I could name some of
them If he wished. At his request I did so.
- In response to his question If I did not
know Tom Dennlson had been a gambler I
replied that I did. He then asked me If I
believed a gambler's reputation for honesty
and Integrity was as good as any other
man's, and I said It depended upon the man.

Demand for the Male Stenographer in
Easiness World.
WIDE AVENUE TO SURE ADVANCEMENT
John F. Soby of Remington Type
writer Company Points Ont the
Opportnnltlra nnd Necessity
of the Stenographer.
The demand for the male stenographer
nd the attractive opportunity afforded
him for advancement In the business
world was the theme for an address by
Mr. John F. Soby of the Remington Type
writer company delivered before the con-
entlon of the Eastern Commercial Teach
ers' association at Philadelphia. Mr. Soby
made lt very clear that the gifls have not
driven the boys out of the business; that
the demand for the male stenographer Is
always In excess of the supply, and that
no other man has a better chance to push
ahead than the stenographer. During his
address he said:
The best general Illustration of the sit
uation as it exists Is furnished by the
gures of the employment departments of
ne Remington Typewriter company. 1
ave examined these records, covering
seven of the largest cities In the L'ulteu
States, and And tliaf during the year lvui
tiiey placed 16.247 stenographers. Of this
umber there were 4. OH men, less than 'a
per cent. The number of calls for men
stenographers footed up 40 per cent of the
total, a fact which shows how great Is the
discrepancy between the demand and tne
uppiy. in tne course of the year the Rem
ington people were compelled to refuse
nearly 2.000 applicants for men etenogra-
(iijiai a a l liicbc ptTveii umen tLioii. r ru-

plicants for positions at the seven offices
reierrea to nu moored only 10 per cent or
he total and yet the calls averaged 40
per cent. These general figures show
learly the gravity of the situation, lhey
how, furthermore, that the situation is not
Improving. If figures prove anything, the
conditions are growing worse.

Thousands of sickly girls and women now
take the Bitters in preference to all other
women's remedies. They were persuaded to
try it and found it far superior to all others as a
Monthly Regulator and Tonic for their weak
organs. They also found that it cured them of
Backache, Cramps, Nervous Headaches,
Dizziness, Nausea, Fainting Spells, Heart
burn, Bloating, Indigestion, Dyspepsia and
Constipation.
One bottle will be sufficient to convince
you of its value. Try it without delay and
youMl be thankful for the hint. Here's proof:
nrs. M. J. Odcll, Odell, W. Va., aayas
"I have used your Bittara for deneral Weakness aod Los of Appetite
with toed reaulta. I heartily endorse It."
flra. J. C Klein, Krupp, Mich., says:
"I nave used your Bitters In my family with splendid results. I can truth
fully recommend it."

PENNSYLVANIAPICNIC PUT OFF
A nam at IB Selected na Date tor Outing-
Inatead of June SO, na Here
tofore Planned.
At a largely attended meeting; of the offl
cers and committee on arrangements of the
Pennsylvania club picnic, held last evening-,
lt was decided to postpone the basket pic
nic to have been held at Ulalr, jseo., on
Tuesday, June JO, to Tuesday, August 15,
This postponement was found necessary on
account of the cheap rates to Chicago,
Milwaukee; etc., the grocers' picnic and
two others to be held In the week of the
20th.
The society wants to make this picnic a
grand success, and as lt was thought wise
to postpone lt a late date was decided upon.
After harvest seemed to be the best time
for the Pennsylvanlans In the country to
attend a plcnlo, so August IS was decided
upon. "One or two prominent Pennsyl
vanlans living In the east will doubtless be
with us In August," said on of the offl
cers. "Most of our local orators had en
gagements for the 10th and could not be
present. As many as we desire will be In
line for August 15." The picnic will be held
at Blair and will be a basket affair.

Demand from Government,
So much for the male applicants for
tenograuhlc io.ltlons. Let us turn now
to tne reversu side of the ulcture. tne ap
plicants for stenographic help. Tne largest
single employer 01 sienugrapnlc help liv the
country is tne United males government,
and the experience of the government in
Ills respect may fairly be regarded aa
ypical. 1 was reading only the other day
about the trouble that Uncle Sam has in
getting his stenographers. For some years
oust It has been ImpoHslble to gel a sum-
clent supply of young men to till the va
cant places. The pay Is good and the work
is not tiara, uncio sum pays nis stenog
raphers 11. 0 per annum at the beginning,
with an Increase to S1.403 In six months
where competency is shown: yet still the
dearth continues.
In 1896 of the thirty-nine young men who

I am Just In rccelDt of Information from
one of the best known commercial schools
In the country that at present they havo
2fi0 male students In their commercial de
partment and thirty In their stenographic
department. How nearly thene figures rep-
lesent the general situation, the principals
of business schools know better than I,
but the testimony of other business edu
cators on the same Buhlect Induces me
to believe that they afford a very lair
picture of present conditions. Recently
one of the prominent commercial educa
tors In New York said to me that he ap
preciated the fact that only a very sniull
proportion of young men were taking up
stenography and typewriting. He paid lit
tle attention to the subject, however, be
cause his experience had taught him that
the effort necessary to improve mailers
promised no adequate return for the labor
Involved. 1 was giaa 10 near inai huhub
slon. for lt gave me added encouragement
In the preparation of this paper. I Imagine
that lr eacn 01 you were aanea vne uiiiuuih
of effort that you put forth to secure
male students, you wouia repiy in a similar
strain.
Chance for the Hoys.
The curious thing, nowever, about the
subject now under discussion Is that the
demand already exists, lt not only exists,
but it is loud ana insistent. 1 ne oovo 01
the country are not all dead, and the law
of supply and demand still lives. Yet the
supply is not forthcoming. Surely there
must be some good reoson for this anoma
lous state of affairs, and If we can find out
what the reason Is, we snouia arrive
quickly at a solution of the difficulty.
lt is a common saying uiui me guio
have crowded the boys out of the stenog
raphic profession. 1 am not going to waste
time with any reruiaiion 01 una uuru
notion; the present situation Is Itself a
complete refutation of lt. The girls, of
course, have a great plnce in the profes
sion, and they till lt well, but If the num
ber of girl stenographs rs were double what
It now is, the demand for boys would still
be as strong as ever. They are wanted
for a different class of work. But this,
after all, Is not the point. If a person
believes something to be a fact, that thing,
however absurd, becomes a fact to him.
It Is what the professors call a subjective
fact. If, therefore, the boys have gotten
the Idea In their heads that the girls have
crowded them out, the effect becomes ex
actly the same as If their Idea were cor-
I feel certain that I am indulging In no
exaggeration when I say there Is no bet
ter stepping stone to splendid success
known to the world today than stenography
and typewriting In the handB of a bright
boy. When a boy who Is not a stenog
rapher enters a business place, no matter
how bright he Is, or how good his prepara
tion, he must enter at the bottom, usually
nn nfn.e clerk at about 16 or to a week,
unit 11 Iii veara before he xalna a foothold.
When a boy who understands shorthand
goes Into an office he can command from
in in tin a week at the very outset, r ur
thermore. he often works for the head of
the tlrm, or at leant for the head of a
department, and the brains of that business
flow through his ringers every day. I
would like to tell you a story the story
of one stenographer. The case is typical
Th hnv fresh from his shorthand class,
Is sent to a concern that has expressed
a desire for such help. He 1b engaged and
norrnrms his duties with fidelity and (lis
i.atch. The brains of his superior flow
through his fingers so long that he gets
nermeirted with them, and some of them
go to his head, and he sees that they stay
there. The man he Is working for is ad
vanced in his position. They ngure out
who Is to take his place and they hit upon
the stenographer, because he Is accus
tomed to the work and methods. The next
move and the stenographer goes up again.
The concern Is among the biggest In tha
world, but the top of It la nevertheless
within his reach, and In time he reaches
lt. He becomes the head of the company.

tion of Tints, Odora and
Physlqae.
There was scarcely a gratifying attend
ance. In point of numbers, at . Chambers'
academy Saturday afternoon to hear Mrs.
Helene Crosby's lecture and violet demon
stration, but those who attended were re
paid for their effort. The effect of colors
end odors was her subject, and the dem
onstration was In violet. The lights of
the ball room were covered with violet
shades and the odor of attar of violets
pervaded the academy while the speaker
was gowned In a handsome toilet In
shades of violet. Mrs. Crosby has very
optimistic Ideas of what' makes beauty.
She sets individuality and pleasing person
allty apove mere physical beauty, and
urges that whether lt be In colors or per
fumes, every woman should learn what
best suits her and then stick to It.

every member of his company. Mr. Ollck-
man's company consists of some of the
leading talent of the Jewish stage.

will be produced an excellent Biblical his
torical drama in four acts, by Prof. Hor
wlti, entitled "Jacob and Esaau," and on
Sunday night, June 18, "The Oolden Coun
try." The above is a rare treat to Jewish
theater lovers of this city. Sale of seats
