Pool in Pardon
*; Board Dispute
Governor Declares Secretary
State Blundered in Paving
Way for Banker
Convicts.
From it Staff (orn-nponilrnt.
Lincoln, Dec. 6.—Selection of a list
of convicts who shall appear before
the state board of pardons and pa
roles should In ordinary cases be in
the hands of N. T. Harmon, pardon
and parole clerk, and not Charles W,
Pool, secretary of state, who Is also
secretary of the state board of par
dons and paroles.
• This, In brief, is a statement issued
today by CXovemor Charles \V. Bryan,
who is chairman of the hoard, in dis
cussing the uproar arising over the
fact that five of the eight bankers in
the penitentiary, six convicted mur
derers and live men convicted of at
tacking women were granted permis
sion to appear before the board of
pardons and paroles at the first
meeting after November IX.
Pool, In u statement issued yester
day, said that he was responsible for
selection of the list.
Mr. Harmon s duty is to investi
gate cases nnd deride upon those with
merit and then present meritorious
appeals to the board at Its regular
meeting,” Governor Bryan said. ‘‘It
is ti-ye the members of the board,
Attorney General Spillman, Mr. Pool
and myself, could, if we desired, de
cide who should be applicants. The
present controversy is one to be set
tled between Mr. Pool and Mr. Har
mon. State officers Interested in the
pardon list assert that Pool's act in
selecting such a list of major con
victed criminals at one time hindered
if he really hoped some of them
would receive a parole or commuta
tion. There lias been so much gos
sip concerning the December list that
in the opinion of these others the
board will issue paroles anil commu
tations to fewer applicants at the De
cember hearing than is cus.tomary.
A new quarrel has arisen in the
slate capital commission.
The new tight is over a contract
for lighting the new capitol.' The
old state houre is lighted by the peni
tentiary plant, whtch hasn't capacity
to furnish electricity for the new
state house,
Governor ' "yan is Insisting that
the municipal light plant, at Uncoln
be given the contract, which wifi
mean thousands in annual revenues.
In the first bids presented to the
commission one of the privately
owned plants was the low bidder.
Then the municipal plant offered to
furnish the transformer free of
charge.
The private plant insists that ns
tlie transformer was offered supple
mentary to the original hid that
entire new bids should be considered.
Walter W. Head of Omaha is report
ed to favor thp private plant, while
Judge W H. Thompson Is with Gov
ernor Bryan In favoring the munici
pal plant. W. E. Hardy and Roy
Cochran, other members of the
board, are undecided.
Jack Pick ford spent the Thanks

The recollection of pleasant hours
whiled away in days gone by is one
of the richest heritages of men who
have lived active lives.
To exist in the past, and in the
present, too, is a combination that is
both rare and splendid. Far too many
persons, when they have reached the
retrospective period of their careers,
let their minis dwell altogether on
the vanished years. Others, trying to
keep up with the modern craze of
hurrying, seldom look back. They
race ulong, forgetful of memories that
should be sweet.

Kdward P. Peck has an affection
for these pictures that knows no
lou idary lines, unless it he the limits
it his own heart. He knows each
photo intimately. Just as he knew
l he man each represents. His office
n the Omaha Grain exchange bulld
og is probably the most unique busi
ness room in the city, and one of the
nest interesting in the west.
On the wuil are two men who came
to Omaha in 1856. when Nebraska
was a territory. They were Hr.
George L>. Miller, who subsequently
f uinded the Herald, anil Mr. Peck's
' ;her, Dr. James Porter Peck, for
,-erly of Akron. O. Dr. Peck died
h e- in 19.97. Kd Peck has lived in
Omaha continuously since 1856.
Governor Alvin Saunders, one of
Lho territorial governors, is there.
His son is State Senator Charles
Si unders. The late Charles F. Man

Senator .Millard Present.
Senator Joseph II. Millard, who

N itlonal bank, may he seen. Ono of
the interesting empire builders is
Col. Robert C. dowry, who con
i lu ted the lirst Western I 'nion tele
graph wire into Omaha from St. Jo
ir ph in 1861. Colonel dowry became
pres ,nt of the Western I'nion and
i .1 living at Varrytown-on Hud
son. N. Y. N
Gen. Thomas C. Kckert was Colonel
dowry's predecessor as president of
the Western I’nion. During the civil
war he had entire charge of telegraph
service for the armies of Abraham
Lincoln. This was the lirst war In
which the telegraph was used. In
those days operators never worked
by sound, hut read off the tape dots
and dashes. Colonel dowry was one
of the first men to take the dots and
dashes by sound, now the standard
ized method. An operator today who
cannot take messages that way Is as
useful to (he telegraph company as
a glass blower Is on a poultry farm.
The late J. J. Dickey, general
superintendent of the Western
I nlon, has a prominent place in Mr.
Peck's collection and in his heart.

Civil War Generals in Group.
When I.uther Drake died a friend
ship of more than f>0 years was end
ed. But Mr. Peck's memory of his
old friend has never dimmed.
One old photograph Is of great his
torical value. It was taken on the
Union Pacific right-of-way, and
among those in the picture, which
was snapped shortly after the civil
war, were Generals Grant and Sher
man, and many other prominent
civilians and the following generals:
Dent, Dodge, Potter, Kautz, Slemmer
and Gibbon.
Another picture was taken at the
monument on the site where Custer
made his fateful stand. An old In
dian, White Swan, who was one of
Reno's scouts at the time of the
massacre, told Mr. Peck, Senator
Manderson, General Anson McCook,
of New York, and the other members
of the party all about, it.
