JOHN KENNELLY.
THOMAS' HOPE FOR ESCAPE
Postmaster Belies on His Showing to
Civil Service Commission.
CONSPIRACY - OR CONTUSION
Charges that Incouiprteat Employ
Mare Assailed Him, that Presi
dent Is Concerned and that
Stories Conflict.
Since the return of Postmaster Thomas
and his attorney, F. H. Oalnes, from Wash
ington, both of them have been talking
quite freely with friends and acquaintances
explaining why they are convinced that
the postmaster will succeed In getting away
from the ugly charges put up to the civil
service commission by Letter Carrier Dan
Tillotson. N
Mr. Gaines was present at the time Mr.
Thomas was before the commissioners, ap
pearing as a "friend" of the postmaster,
as the presence of sn attorney Is not per
mitted, under the rule of procedure before
the commission. While neither the post
master nor Mr. Gaines have been' talking
tor publication, the way they outline the
defense they ba- put up Is substantially
as follows:
I "Victim of Conspiracy."
Mr. Thomas. It Is alleged. Is the victim
of a conspiracy. In . which Deputy ' Post
master Woodard. Registry Clerk Kelly,
Letter Carrier TUlotaon and others are
concerned. All of these men. according
to the postmaster, have been found Incom
petent or otherwise unworthy of the ser
vice, and were, about to be removed or
reduced by him when they concocted this
diabolical plot by which they hope to et
him and divert attention from themaelpes.
The fact that ench of the men named has
been In the service for many years, and
that all have been promoted from the en
trance grade to the positions of chief and
that Mr. Woodard has served as depufy
under one after another Omaha postmas
ters during a long term of yeirs didn't
deter the accused postmaster from alleging
that they are all Incompetent and un
trustworthy.. Conflict la Testimony.
The defense also relies on the fact that
the testimony In the case la conflicting;
that the postmaster haa . put In a good,
strong denial to every positive chargo
against him, and this will create confusion
In the minds of the commissioners. In re
gard to tha matter of the money being
paid over. It la set Bp that this confusion
will be especially annoying, as the com
missioners will be bothered with the direct
statement of the postmaster and his con
fidential stenographer In contradiction of
the statements of Messrs. Woodard and
Kolly. The ostmaster Insists that he will
be entitled to the benefit of every doubt he
h.is been able to bring up.
Finally, the postmaster sets up that the
civil service commission, when II looks
Into his reasons for reducing Tillotson, Is
unnecessarily fussy about something that
doesn't concern It In the least, lie Is not
under civil service rules. Is not holding
office under the classified list, and being a
free agent so far as the commission Is con
cerned, can do pretty much what he likes
without coming under Its review. The
commission being without power In the
mutter. It may reach any sort of con
clusion, but will not be able to affect the
standing of the Omaha postmaster as such.
Flnnl Tramp Card.
Finally as a trump card Attorney Gaines
declares that the administration does not
dare remove or discipline his client, the
postmaster, on the charges that have been
preferred. President Taft, he calls to
mind, expects to be a candidate for re
election. The most serious charge against
Postmaster Thomas Is the shakedown of
subordinates, which. If so, simply testifies
to his leal In behalf of the political powers
to whom he owes his Job. The president,
according to Mr. Gaines, cannot afford to
let It get out by force oi such an example
that a federal official, xralous In the cause
of raising money to help out on campaign
expenses must be punished for performing
such a patriotic duty. On the contrary,
Mr. Gaines would have the subordinates
who squealed when compelled to cough
up be made to walk the plank aa a protec
tion to those who are to collect the next
campaign fund.

WOODMEN REJECT CLUB OFFER
Commercial Club Mnst Now Seek
Quarters for Home.
NO TO WEE ON THE STRUCTURE
llnlldlns; to Be Klghtern Stories High
and Hid Will Be Asked For
Jnne 5 To Be Completed
la One Tear.
The Commerclrl ciuh a proposition to oc
cupy the seventeenth and eighteenth floors
of tho Woodmen of the World building has
been rejected by the executive council of
the order, now In session. Two reasons
are given for the action, one being that It
would be unprofitable to arrange the
building to meet the needs of the club
and the other la that the club would be at.
undesirable tenant because of disagreeable
odors coming from its kitchen.
"To have mot the needs of the club, as
expressed In its rental proposition, would
have Involved the raising of the ceilings
of the seventeenth and eighteenth floors
and the changing of plans to provide spe
cial freight and passenger elevator ser
vice," explains John M. Walshe, the spe
cialist who has been engaged to manage
the building. "To make necessary changes
In the plans the Woodmen would have
been, forced to meet an extra expense of
about S40.000. '
"By leaving the plans as they were orig
inally made by Holablrd & Roche, the
architects, we can rent the seventeenth
and eighteenth floors to other tenants for
117,000, whereas the Commercial club re
fuses to pay more than SlXEiOO a year. By
rejecting the proposition we not only save
the 140.000 that would be needed to make
the. changes, but we win realtce ' in ten
years, the length of ths lease proposed by
the oub, tto.OOO more than the club would
have paid for rent. We make a big saving
both -ways.
Traffic Too HeTy.
"Then again," continued Mr. Walshe, "if
we were to have leased the two upper
floors to the club, it might have vacated In
ten years in which even the floors would
have to be changed to meet the demands
of succeeding tenants. Then, there is
another point: the extremely heavy traf
flo at the noon hours would have a tend
ency to cripple the elevator service for
the rest of the building. Again, the gar
bage ao d edibles going up and down the
elevator shafts would send out disagree
able odors all through the building. Since
the Woodmen home Is to be most modem
and up to date structure In the west, we
could not afford to cripple It by meeting
the demands of the commercial club."
The exeoutlve council has completed
the task of going over the plans ana speci
fications and have placed their mark of
approval on them. Bids on the proposed
structure, which will be erected at Four
teenth and Farnam streets at a cost of
$1,000,000 will be opened by the Woodman
building committee on June 6. It Is pro
posed to have the building complete within
a year from the date of the award to the
successful bidder. The building will be
eighteen storieii high, without a tower,
and will front .U0 feet on Farnam street,
and extend back 132 feet on Fourteenth
street.
