t H THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THgltSDAY , OCTOBER 23 , 1890 , BROTHERHOOD HEN MUST GO , the Western Union Discharging Members of the New Order of Telegraphers. A STRIKE Of THE ORDER PROBABLE , Day of the Illfr Shooting Tiiiirnnrnent IB It a Cftso of Blackmail Other Local News. \ A sf-nsatlon , was created among the West ern Union telegraph operators In thU city yesterday by the discharge of twoof the best operators in the city , presumably because they were members of the newly organized Brotherhood of Telegraphers , The discharged men nro Peter TYcnzer and Joseph Adams , who have ranked as lint class Adams was released , by Chief Operator Apnlcgato at nonn. Ho nslfod the reason for his release and wai informed that his work was not satisfactory. "You know better than that , " replied Adams. "You know thcro Is no chnreo of that klnil against mo nnd. that thcro is no foundation for any such charge. " In reply Applcgato stated that it was not necessary for him to glvo any excuse for dis charging Adams. Prcrizer's release was given in n note which > read : "Owing to your prolonped absence 1 found It necessary to put another man in your felaco. " The note was signed hy Applegato. Fron- eer was away recently on a week's leave of Absence uncJ , when his time was up , asked for tin extension of a few days. Apple-gate , In reply , granted the request and stated In ills dispatch i "Take your time ; no hurry.11 ISo further excuse was given fortho release of the operators. It Is the opinion of the operators generally thnt the man were discharged because they Bro moniocM of the newly organized Tele graphers' brotherhood. Word has been re ceived from Chicago that active workers In the new brotherhood have Deen discharged by the Western Union managers without any apparent cause and.wlthout nny explanation. 'llio local brotherhood was formed a few jveeks ngo and numbers about forty of the best telegraphers in the city. It is rumored thnt moro members of the or der nro to ho discharged and if such is the ease trouble may bo expected. Throe moro men were discharged last even ing , They were Aiatt Golf , E. ITltch and M. Curdy. They are all first-class operators and were very much surprised by the action of the company. They questioned Mr. Applegnto concerning the matter hut could get no satis factory reply. The only answer was that they had been found to ho incompetent. Tlicro is no doubt In the minds Of the gentlemen discharged that this 13 a clear case of an attempt toyccd out the lender * In the new organization , the Tele graphers' ' union. Two other operators quit work last night nnd will not return until Aaams , Frenzcr , McGrath , QrofT , E. Fitcli and M Curtly nro reinstated. "Do you anticipate a general strike in case these men are not reinstated 1" "Vos , sir , " said ono of the operators to a EKB reporter last night ; "this will bo inevit able , \Vo shall walkout unless these men frro reinstated , They are excellent operators , and we know It. A committee will waitupon the company tomorrow and Inform them thai the discharge of these men without good and ufllclunt reason will certainly bring about trouble unless the Injustice done Is speedily repaired.

"Dr. ' William Harlowo Davis , lately of San Francisco nnd hli wife , Mrs. "Dr. " Los. ter Davis , alias Sophlo Search , who claims to bo a daughter of oi-Mayor Holcombo of Savannah , Qa. , nro in the county Jail under t-TOO bonds each for their aopcaranco at the next term of the United States court. The crime with which they are charged is a violation of the net of Juno IS , 1S33 , m send' ing obscene , scurrilous , defamatory and threatening matter through the malls. The recipients of the letters and postals were a Mr. and Mrs. Hay of "Waterloo , la , The missives nro not fit to print in THE Ilp.n ami are accordingly withheld. The letters were forwarded to the postofflco inspector at Chicago and Messrsvcst and Fleming , two of the Inspectors were detailed to look the matter up. Thcp succeeded in locating the "doctors" nt 1021 r'aroam street. Davis asked the visitors whether they had conic to receive treatment at his hands. They replied that they had not. They were simply agents for Mr. Hay of Waterloo , Ia. , and wanted to know what kind of a settlement Davis would consent to make. That scientist said that ho wanted his money. At this stage of the proceedings Mrs. Davis left the room , and. after a llttlo further par ley , she was recalled and the objectionable missives'were produced by the Inspectors. Both Davis and his wife admitted that they had written them , and that beforodolng so had taken the advice of an attorney. The pair of scribes were then put under arrest. The punishment for the offcnso alleged Is a fine of $3,000 and imprisonment for live years , or both , In the discretion of the courts. The pair waived examination before Com missioner Dundy and were held to the United States court. The I in prisoned scientists were visited In Jail hy n Bun reporter. They found their way to Omaha and from this place they sent the letters and postal cards which caused their arrest. Behind this there Is a story as told by the two prisoners. Mrs. Divis claims to bo a newspaper correspondent and carries cards rending : SOIMUB Sn.utcit , San 1'ranclsco , Cul. With Morning Times. She claims the name "Sophlo Search" as her iiom do plumo. She claims also to bo a spiritualist and fortune teller. H. M. Davis claims to combine the art of magnetic healing with his powers as a snint- ualist and the two , It Is alleged , worked the gullible people of San Francisco. Davis unu his wife , it seems , were living in San Francisco , where they followed the busi ness of fortune telling , magnetic healing and various other spiritualistic lines. Among their acquaintances were Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hay. Mr , Hay was a wholesale wino mer chant , whoso relatives lived In Waterloo , Ia. , where Hay posed as an ardent pro hibitionist. Hay. it is alleged , suggested to Davis that , they form a co-partnership and travel about , Davis giving exhibitions of his macuetlc healing powers and Hay acting ns business manager. Davis consented , at Hay's sug gestion , paid SoOO Into the fund of the con cern , but did not talce a receipt from Hay. When thev were ready to start , Hay in sisted that Davis should leave his wife be- bind and this was done. Davis claims that previous to their departure , nnd while ho was using his magnetic powers upon Mrs. Hay , the lady made improper advances a number of times and ho finally yielded to her en treaties. The party came to Omaha , where they re mained several days , but Hay refused to allow Davis to Rlvo an exhibition of his powers. In the meantime Mrs. Davis came to Omaha also , greatly to Hav's ' disgust. The party next went to Waterloo , Ia. . leaving filrs. Davis In Omaha , penniless and a stranger , Davis staling that Hay had nil his monev and refused taclvo him a cent for his wife. At Waterloo. Da'ls says Mr. Hay directed him to treat Airs. Bay's mother , an old lady , the wife of Dr , Carpenter. Dr. Curpenter was reported to bo the possessor of considerable property and Hny wished Davis to convert him to spiritualism by representing that a dead sea of the old gentleman had directed that ho make his will In favor of his daughter , Mrs. Hay. When ho should have done this , Hny it is alleged , wished him to administer n strong shock of electricity to old Mrs. Carpenter and kill her , and then the old gentleman would soon fol low. low.This This , Davis says , ho refused to do nnd in sisted upon nls $500 or some portion of it beIng - Ing returned to him. About this time Davis received a letter from Mrs. Davis stating that she was very sick. Ho demanded his money from Hay , nnd the latter made a p.-ctoxt of going to Chicago af ter it. While ho was gone more letters cama from Mrs. Davis and Davis prevailed upon Mrs. Hay to give him money enough to got back to Omaha. She finally did so , ana ho cnmo hack to llnd his wife confined to bed at No. fill North Seventeenth street. As soon ns Mrs. Davis was nblo to.writo they both commenced writing to the Hays at Waterloo for the money which Davis had paid Hay. The letters of Mrs. Davis were particularly hitter and ac cused Mrs. Hay of alienating the affections of her husband. Some of the communications were written on postal cards and came , it Is alleged , within the palo of the law. The only explanation they offer for Hoys' actions , asldo from wanting Davis' money , is that ho wished him to bo a part of his family. Davis says that they often told him that himself and wife believed in free love , but did. not want Mrs. Duvls around. In ono of her letters to Mrs. Hny , Mrs. Davis said she would tell the story to the world If the money was not forthcoming , nnd she "had the papers solid.

The principals in the onc-rojnd bout were Sanitary Commissioner Morrlssey nnd his late Fourth ward deputy , Newton Nldny. It appears that Morrisscy and Nlday met in the mayor's oMco to confer with that ofllcial on matters relating to the enforce ment of the garbage law. Morrissey had experienced some trouble in collecting- from Nlday , and both men became excited in rehearsing ttioir grievances to the mayor.
