Losing every point for which hs eon
tended In 'Saturday morntnsj's sitting of
the Donahue ouster hearing. Attorney Gen
eral Arthur Mullen, who la prosecuting the
Omaha chief of police for the state, at the
close of the lttlpg found thsl he hsd
made no headway since the opening at l:W
o'clock In the morning.
Adjournment until January 23 at 10
a'clock in the morning waa taken at noon.
Referee Evan and the partlea and attor
neys In Interest having agreed upon a con
tinuance. Referee Evans has an Important
criminal ease coming on for hearing in
Wayne, Neb., next week. Attorney Gen

the Nebraska supreme court beginning
next Tuesday, and several Important cases
which will demand the attention of W. J.
Conned, attorney for Chief Donahue, come
on for hearing In the Douglas county dis
trict court early In January.
The first defeat of Attorney Oeneral
Mullen came when Referee Evana refused
Mr. Mullen'a request for a bench warrant
for W. J. Boekhoff. a liquor dealer aelllng
beer by the case, who la confined to Ms
bed with what Is believed to be pneumonia.
Mr. Mullen expects to show by Boekhoff
that the liquor dealer has sold beer to pro
prietors of resorts.
ray clan's Certificate.
Attorney B. O. Burbank appeared for
Boekhoff and filed an affidavit of Dr. O.
j. Hoffman, mho Is attending; the man, to
the effect that he I" seriously 111 and un
able to leave hla bd. Referee Evana said
that In tha face of such a showing he
would Isaue no bench warrant. The war
rant would have the effect of causing
Boekhoff to be arrested and brought bodily
Into court. '
Still dissatisfied, Mr. Mullen asked an
order commanding Boekhauf not to leava
the Jurisdiction of the court. Mr. Burbank
said Ms client haa no disposition to leave
and suggested that If he attempte to do
so the referee very eaally can prevent auch
an action and aummarlly punish the man.
Referee Evana aald he doea not believe
Boekhoff eontemplatea running away and
refused the order.
The aecond defeat for the attorney gen
eral came when Referee Evana sustained
the objections of Mr. Connell, the chief s
attorney, and Isidore Zelgler, attorney for
John Nlttler, a witness, to the offering In
evidence of Nittler's account books.
Mr. Mullen placed Nlttler on the atand
Friday afternoon, made him produce hla
accounts, and waa about to offer them In
evidence when Zlegler objected. Nlttler
was recalled Saturday morning after argu
ments had been made. Mr. Mullen at
tempted to Introduce the books In evidence
to show' that Nlttler, who Is a seller of
beer by the case, has sold large quantlttea
of beer In the resort district. Referee
Evans sustained the objections to the offer.
Mr. Zelgler's objections were made on the
grounds that businessman's records of his
business are privileged matter; that they
are nrivate DroDerty. and that under the
law they cannot be thrown open to de
clde any case In which the, owner of the
booka la not a party In interest. Zlovler
cited several supreme court decisions In
support of his objections. . .
'' Books Private Property.
The remainder of the sitting waa occu
pied by a battle between Mr. Mullen on
una aide and Messrs. Connell and Zlegler
on the other on the question whether or
not Mr.' Nittler's statements regarding his
sties could be admitted In evidence when
the only basis for them was what he read
out of his accounta. Mr. Mullen waa de
feated. Referee Evans questioned ths wit
ness himself to determine whether after
looking over his books he actually remem
bered the sales or simply depended wholly
upon the books. He said he depended upon
trio books, as' hla men ma the aalea and
the referee ruled that he could not answer.
Mr. Mullen during the Bitting maintained
his belligerent attitude toward Messra.
Connell, Hurbank and Zelgler. Once he
jumped up and shouted:
"Your honor, am I to be harassed and
annoyed by these outside butters-tn, or am
I to be allowed to try this case? If they
re to come In I insist that they be en
tered as attorneys for Mr. Donahue.
' Referee Evana said he thought attorneys
for witnesses had a right to be heard.
, Mr. Mullen placed louls Meti on the
stand and tried to force him to admit that
bier Is retailed at the brewery.

The Rome has been held by the Miller

Mr. Miller's extensive t'alty and property
operations of this morning merely make a
change in t'.ie way the red tape Is wound
around tho title.
Mr. Killer also sold himself a one-half
Interest In the Murray. The real reason
why he deeded over the property to him
self Is said to lie in the fact that he forgot
to pay the atate corporation taxes of $10
for each of the three corporations. Failure
to pay this tax vods the corporate ex
istence of the companies, and so Mr. Miller
haa put the title In his own name.
Four thousand or more corporations are

Then prepare flv. parts of patience and
ten parts of perseVei anre, with one portion
of work and three tortious of play, simmer
over the slow fire ol experience.
"Then to the essences of a winning smile,
thrilled with the vibration of the touch of
a gentle hand, add a stiff pinch of Biblical
converse, 'Tea, yea.' and 'Nav, nay."
"Set In the dark. The light of publicity
materially Increases the danger of the

Big Per Cent of Fires
in Forests Last Year
Due to Carelessness
Henry S. Graves Says Protection from
Flames Most Important Work in
Preserving Nation's Trees.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 81. Forest fires,
their destructivenres, cause and prevention
are discussed In the annual report of Henry
Graves, chief forester, made public to
day, lie says that In the organisation and
administration of the national forests the
most Important consideration Is their pro
tection from fire.
"In a forest fully organised with ade
quate mrans of transportation and com
munication and a sufficient force of rang
ers and guards, the risk from fire Is very
small." he said. "In foreign countries In
which forests are so organized, the risk
Is so small that the forests are Insurable
at a moderate rate."
After citing the various causes of fires.
Mr. Graves says that M per cent , of the
fires of 1909 were ium iQ ihf .-...; of pre.
ventive care on the part of the users of
the forests and of the railroads traversing
them." He rays the railroads, realising
forest fires are against their own Interests,
"have shown an admirable spirit In co
operating to prevent them." He suggests
that the railroads be required either to
use sufficient spark arrestera or to burn
oil.
Four per cent of the fires for 1909 were
from Incendiarism, and 13 per cent from
lightning. "Incendiarism," he says, "can
be stopped, partly through education of the
people and partly through Increased watch
ing of th forests, which will result In the
apprehension and punishment of Incen
diaries." The approximate total stand of timber
In national forests, exclusive of Alaska, ac
cording to the report, Is 530,000.000,000 feet.
Though the stand of timber In the two
national forests In Alaska la believed to
be very large, not even a rough estimate
can be made.
In the order of their Importance, the five
states containing the bulk of national for
est timber are, Oregon. California, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana."
The total cut of timber last year was
4St, 412,000 feet, an Increase over the pre
vious year of 26,773.000 feet. Of the former,
379.K15.O0O feet was cut under Bale, and
104.796,000 feet under free use. The amount
of timber sold In the fiscal year of 1910
waa S74,u63,000 feet, valued at 11,400,992,000.

Direct Intention to shoot any one could
not be proven, but the fact was disclosed
that Lohlslch Is a lonely Lithuanian, liv
