In a short verbal statement yesterday
John J. Ryan and Joseph Plvonka, fir
and police commissioners, entered a gen
eral denial to the allegations of malfeas
ance In office set forth In the ouster
petition filed Friday evening In the su
preme court. Both of the accused mem
tern said they probably would make a
statement Monday.
Now that the proceedings have been
filed there Is said to be a tendency among
many of the saloonkeepers and gamblers
of the city to save themselves at any
coat and some of them axe expected to
nbosom themselves at the ouster trial.
This Is especially true In the case of the
mall property holders who, as sureties
on the liquor license bonds, made oath
that they were worth S2.S00 over and
above all their liabilities.
It Is also said that the saloonkeepers
who are said to have been assured pro
tection are up In arms.
The feeling among the friends of the
two accused commissioners Is that the
proceedings may drag along for some
time, thus allowing the commissioners to
finish their terms of office. Another
sentiment la that If the prosecution should
succeed In making a strong case the fol
lowers of the commissioners will throw
the city over to the annexationists and
nullify further action against Ryan and
l'ivonka.

derfal Collection.
William Henry Wymsn, one of the
best known fire Insurance men of the
middle west and a noted bibliophile,
died lit .1:41 Saturday afternoon at his
home. 124 North Thirty-eighth street. He
was Rrt years old.
Tho ftineral will be held Monday after

eniHirt, In., for cremation by Crosby
Wymnn and John W. Bobbins, son and
son-in-law of Mr. Wyman, Immediately

Mr. Wyman had been In poor health
for many months, but became seriously
ill five weeks ago under an attack of
nervous prostration. A man of high edu
cation, he had but a few years of
schooling. His knowledge was almost
wholly self acquired. He was born In
Canton. N. T., the son of William
Lyman, editor at various times of news
papers in Canton, Madison, Wis., and
Omaha. His father was the first regu
larly commissioned postmaster of this
city. Most of Mr Wyman's education, as
a boy and a young man was acquired In
his father's printing offices.
Fire Insiirnnee Agent,
After sKMidlnn several years at news
paper work, Mr. Wyman took up fire
Insurance in Cincinnati, and entered the
service of the Aetna Fire Insurance
company. In 1MI, the company estab
lished a "northwestern" department, em
bracing the territory between the Mis
sissippi river and the Rocky mountains,
and placed Mr. Wyman In charge. He
selected Omaha for his headquarters.
Last October he retired, having been In
the service of tho company fifty-six
years. His department was consolidated
with the Chicago branch.
Mr. Wyman twice was married, his first
wife dying In Denver lnt 1M0, He is sur

Mr. Wyman's love of books amounted
almost ta a passion. His library Is ens
of the most Interesting In the city. It
numbers many hundreds of books, msny
of them centuries old. Among them are
ancient Bibles and other religious works,
some hand-lllumlned by priests and
monks. Among the most interesting art
"The Hours of the Holy Virgin." hand
Illumined on psrehment, hand-Illustrated,
made In the fifteenth century for the u
of the nuns in the convent of St. Cecilia
at Hoorn: a copy of th famous
"Breeches Bible," printed In W14. snd a
nine-volume set of Shakespeare's com
plete works, the pages measuring but
!x3 Inches, the type the smallest ever
used In printing. Some of the books are
yellow with ngo, falling to pieces and
showing the ravages of worms.
Shakespeare was a passion with Mr.
Wyman and his memory held some plays
by the master almost complete. He was
deeply Interested In the Bhakespeare
Bacon controversy, though he never
doubted Shakespeare's authorship. He
published a book entitled "A Bibliog
raphy of the Bacon-Shakespeare Con
troversy." Privately Illustrated bonks
were another enjoyment of Mr, Wyman.
He purchased books, unbound them snd
had them rebound with pictures gathered
by him from all over the world. In this
way he made hundreds ot wonderful
books. By the Illustrations he trans
formed a five-volume set of Shakespeare
Into a set of twenty-five volumes.
