HIUjDUY AMO1J.
Bouth Omaha's Councllincn Have to
Call the Police- .
There was a ciiuison lingo in Ihe alt when
the South Omaha council met last night , and
In fact , had it not been for the wisei councils
of some , the meeting would have adjourned
without formalitj' , nnd no doubt huv c been
followed by a coionei's inquest. Tlio fico
i and unbought electors were out in foice and
' standing loom onlj' was obtainable , when the
1 mayor rapped for order. At Hist nil w.is
quiet , and only Councilman Gearj- , who was
111 , nnd Councllmnn Wliittlcsey , who was cut
ting ice , failed to answer the roll call. But
tie sooner hud Chairman Smith stated Ihe
charges against Councilman Buiko than the
, clouds ai oso. At the request of Councilman
Buike , the meeting was declared an open
, one , us ho wished to have both the
charges and their refutation made
i public. Attomoj' Mahoney sat beside
t him , and when the council was asked
( to consider the case , he niosc and said his
client was willing to stand the charge of
1 nnjthing from high treason to assault und
batlcrj' . Ho wanled no Um6 * wasled nnd
1 naked to have the dim go specify some act
* 1 violating anjf known law , or of some mal-
fcasatice of oftlco At his request the charges
* wore lead , nnd Councilman Loescher rose to
Bay :
1 "I've Coun-
pioferrcd no charges against -
i oilman Buiko. If this is a committee of the
v \vholo I'm out of it. "
Chairman Smith said tlioy had onlj' met to
Investigate ccitain i Imigcs and was asked by
'Altomoj' Mauonov "AVheio did jougot tne
nuthouty to investigate ! "
The chairman did not iinsw cr , but said the
committee would pioceccl to get the informu-
tion they icquited. Attorney Mahoney an
nounced that Councilman Bmku would not
plead ono w aj 01 another , but that seemed to
have no effect , and .ferry Dee was the Hist
Witness called. Mahonc.y then objected to
the chairman , claiming that It wns mani
fest ! } unfair for Iho man who signed the
charges to decide on the adunsabilitj' of
evidence. Chairman Smith had , as
chatiman of n picvious committee
of the whole , signed the rcpoit of that com-
mlllco , and in this way was maikcd out as
the informant , n A legal contioveisy then en
sued between City Attorney G rice , and At-
tornovMahoncj' . but Chaliman Smith settled
it bj' leaving the chair and appointing Coun
cilman Glasgow in his stead.
Councilman Loescher again announced that
lie had no choiges to prefer against Councilman -
' man Buiko and things became suftlctentlj'
' iiuict for Jei r.y Dee to bo heard. Jerrj' wns
uulj' sworn and commenced bv slaling lhat
ho only knew what Councilman Loescher told
him. He had n conversation w ith Iho coun
cilman ubout election time , and ho ( Loeschor )
told him that ho hud been flghling both the
. street rullvvujs but that ho had been to town
nnd seen Dr. Mciccr and got $50 Ho said ho
had told "Johnny Huike an' Johnny whit
pot down an' twlnty. " On ciossexmnlnation
he said Loescher was nol under oulh when ho
told him , und Unit ho had nuv er know n Burke
. to violate Iho law , nor be deielict in his dutj' ,
nor do unj lliing cither officially or as a cili/cn
that would injure South Omaha.
Councilman Loeseher was next sworn ami
said ho knew Burke slightly. Ho knew
nothing about him icceiving any money to
Influence his action nt the election , and novel
told anv one ho had nee RO. Ho never had
uny such conv ei sation vvilh Iho founer wil-
ness as lhat witness nud sworn , and the only
tlmo Joir.v had been seen at his house was
when ho wanted to get into the council.
L , C. Gibson , the next witness , knew thai
Duiko hud been sliontrly opposed to the
raiUvajs , but did not know of any monoj
having been paid him for Iho puiposo of
nhullmg his ic.mth or ending nis opposition.
Ho had licit been sent to influence his action
ulthoi' n ho had asked him ( Buike ) toclmngo
his mind , for what he ( witness ) considered
tlio good of the citj' . _
Kd Johnson found Councilman Buiko op
posing both sti cct inilwaj lilies the morning
of the election , but did not hear him Bay
nnj thing about them after about 11 o'clock.
A pin ty had eomu to him ( w itncss ) and stated
that ho had paid Buiko * il ) , and asked to
Imvo it refunded As agent of the motor
line ho ( witness ) had given the ? JU claimed ,
but petsoimlly did not knowthat Buiko over
got it. Ho did not know how Burke woi ked
after U o'clock , but thought ho worked for
the company.
Councilman Dan' Haffcrty said Loescher
told him lhat hQ had got fir. , and that if
Buiko wasn't a d n fool , uiiu would keep
his mouth Hhul ho could get some too Ho
had met Huiko In the morning and found
him working against the motor line , bill in
thoeuening lluiku told him ho was only
Joking and was gludtho franchise was car
ried.
ried.Tho
The question of swcaiing Councilman
Buiko then arose , bul on Iho advice of his at
torney ho lefusod to give evidence. Then
the lioublo commenced.
"Tho idcncu is now nil in and the mar-
Khali will clour the room , " said Chairman
Glasgow.
' "AVo've as much light hero ns jou , " said
Councilman Burko. "These iwoplo all pay
taxes , they've a i ight to bo here , this is a
publio hall , und the public have a light to
toy in it. "
' Is this legal , Mr. Chairman 1 I won't go
'till I'm put out , " said ono of Iho crowd and
then nil the rest chipped In.
" You're citizens , " "Stap'im , " "I'll scrap be-
" = * * foiol go , " "If I go I go out dead , " and "Good
1 man , Pat , " was all that could bo heard iu the
] ln thai followed.
"Marshal , clear Iho room. If you Imvo not
enough lo put them out. go and get them , "
said tlio chairman. "King up Iho force , U f
iiocessurj' . "
The marshal wasn't lliere , bul one of Ihe
foroo Blai ted lo oboj' .
"You'll have to bring a big force , " said oni
Of thuorovvd ,
"I toll jou , you'll have lo fetch guns , " said
( mother.
"We're net among the MnimqtiB or prohi i-
bltlonlsU , " snld Councilman Buike , when he
cquld make himself heard ; "I want the pub
lie at largo to know who brought the charges
ngninst me , what they are , and what they are
going to do about it. You've all got a right
to stop hero if you want to. "
Attorney Mnhonoy then volunteered the
Information that the chulrmnn had no right
to order them from the room , and advised
them to remain till the police camo. "But
when they toll you to go , don't ' loslst phjslo
ally , but obey them , " lie added.
"Lot's see what the cops nremndeof , " sug
gested one of the crowd , and a cheer followed
the suggestion. As the noise died out Maj or
Savage took the llcor and sold that from the
first Attorney Mahoney had set himself
against law and order , that ho had stated as
fuels things which he knew were not fncts ,
that no ono would bo better pleased than him
self If Councilman Burke were exonerated ,
and that it would bo the duty of the council to
hoi aid sue h n result to the world. If ho were
guilty they could only censure himbut , as it
was. if the mob would not clear the room ho
w ould moo an ndjoui nment. South Oinalm
had a bad enough reputation as it was , but
that night's proceedings wore the most dis
graceful ho had over witnessed.
Attorney Mnhonoy icplied at some length ,
and consuted the inavor for calling the In-
toligcnt electors of South Omaha "a mob. "
"A mob I" said the m.ijor. "I don't care
the color of a hair who hears mo when I say
It. When gentlemen but after their actions
to nfxht tliej'io not gentlemen when npaity
of men allowed heie on sufTotciico undeiluko
to act the way they have clone this night , in
dcllanccof all law and order , I say It's a mob.
Gentlemen would never conduct themselves
no. they wouldn't have done it. "
liefeiiing to a statement that the council
had no jui isdictlon , thomuvornsked Attorney
Mnhonuy why ho hud In that case appeared
foi Councilman Hui k.
"For the fun of It , " was the answer.
After n few moic reniniks bv the mnvor
Councilman Loescher said ho didn't think
the mn.Nor hndiiny tight to bo theie , us It was
n committee of the w hole. It was decided by
City Attorney Grlco tint ho had ,
and as It was about tima for the
iwllco to come , tlio crowd gradually
disappeared. The repoitors were the last to
go , but under the ciicnmstaiiees they went ,
and no one but the council and Attorney
Mahonev i cm.ilncd. As ho refused to leave
ut the chairman's older , a genllo Irtnt from
Oflkcr Dixon was necessuiy and had Its
effect. Councilman Buike then went , but It
wns under proksst. His pat ting wouls were :
"All light , I'll go , but vou've no juiisdio-
tlon over me You want a seciet session ,
don't ioui Do Just asou , see lit , but I'll du-
fend myself. I'll go and join the piohibition-
ists now. " And ho went.
Then the scci ct session followed , in which
each councilman was asked for an opinion.
Councilman Loescher said theio was no need
to cxoncinto Councilman Buike , as no ciime
had been pioved.
"No one saw any moncv passed , and I
think we should exonciato him , " said Coun
cilman Smith.
"I believe so too. No one saw him get it , "
said Councilman llufToity.
No other opinions weio cxpicssed ,
but theie was a general conveisation , in
which the name of Moiris Moiiison was
mentioned us the giver. Then , for a while ,
silence ! eigned , to give the clei k a chance to
wuto out the finding of the committee Coun
cilman Locseher was the tiist lo bieak it bv
enquiring who was the mcinboi that didn't
want to sit in the council with him. Council
man Glasgow acknowledged that he was the
one , and lor a icason said : v
"Councilman Loescher. vou'ie as coirupt a
man as ever I saw in my life , from top to bottom
tom , vou'ic the same ail thiough. "
"You'v e got to prove It , " said Councilman
Loeseher. "I don't think vou'io square If
the council was like that wh\ did jou come
ini"
"I've changed my opinion of it since I
came'1 answcicd the doctor.
"AVcll , I may fool jou anvvvnv. for I want
you to undei stand that I'm as good a man as
jou , m anv wa > , shape or fomi voulike , "
lojoined the member from Iho Thud , and
then followed another wrangle It was
biought to a close , however , by Major
Savage moving "That this committee of the
whole , appointed to investigate the charges
of bnberj against Councilman Burke , do
find that thu uvidcneo docs not sustain the
ftaid ehffigcs "
After u little moio talk the committee lose ,
and vv hen they had all gouo out and the
coast was clear , the repoi tors cicpt out und
took notes.
