THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , fflTESDAY , AUG-UHT 11 , 1801. BARTON WILL TEST THE LAW , Ecsultofa Conference Between Councilman , , and Smelter Officials. WILL TAKE THE CASE TO SUPREME COURT , I'lic Mnnltcr'H President CoiiHcnts to Go to .lull to Got tlie IJAW'B Count I tut tonality Decided At Onue. At n mnss mooting held nt Krfllng's hull last Friday night n committee consisting of Councilinen Henry Osthoff , William F. IJcchfl , F. L. Blumcr , James Donnelly. sr.K. T. Morearly , Theodore Olscn , T. J. Lowry , Hlchard Htirdish and Christian Spccht , wns appointed to confer with the proprietors of thu Omaha and Grant smeller for the pur pose of adjusting tbo existing labor dlfllcult- tics. Yesterday moriiliigChairman Osthoff called his committee together for the purpose of the conference. Messrs. Donnelly , Olsen ml Spectil responded , while the other members Ignored the cnll. At 11 o'clock tbo four gentlemen met Messrs. Marlon and Nnsti In their oflico where the troubles and their causes were discussed. Mr. Barton said thrro was nothing to arbi trate nshe had decided that ho could not put on three shifts ns the agitators among the workmen had demanded. Ho stood In the same position that ho did ten duy.s ago and was willing to put eight hour men on the blast furnaces nml thu roasters , but could only pay them for eight hours work. In the iclinlng de partments where thu work was not so labori ous he could not afford to run the eight hour Hhifts. Ho staled that the ere .smelted In Omaha was of a low gtado , and that the ex penses had to bo reduced to a minimum. If three shifts were put on throughout the works the business would not pay and it would be only a question of time when the smelter would have to ho closed or re moved to some other locality where the labor laws weio moro favorable. Mr. Barton denied the statement that in the blast furnaces the mim had been required to work thirteen hours. They went to work ut 7 o'clock In the morning and worked until noon. Then they rested until ono o'clock ' , and worked until six , ten hours. In I ceding the blast furnaces the work was hot , but the men rested u good deal of tlie time , ai after clanging the I'urnarcs they sot down until it was necessary to 10- charge them. The woik was not us fatal as many people had claimed. Men had worked at the furnaces for fourteen years and had not suffered any serious consequences. Of course sumo of the men had been poisoned from the fumes and escaping gases. Tins was caused partially on account of the con stitution of thu Mien so affected. For nil : inanity's sake , if nothing else , Mr. Barton would bo willing to allow these men eight hour shilt * With eight hours' pay. Mr. Barton also stated that ho had no feeling against the men and wns confident that there would have boon no dilllculty if it had not been for the professional agitators end rr.cn who were anxious to injure thu city. In speaking of again starting the smaller , Mr. Barton said , "My Interests are in Omaha and 1 am as anxious for the pros perity of the city ns any man living. Besides this you do not know how sad it makes mo leel when I know that many of the men who have worked for us for years want to comeback and would do so if they wcro not prevented by Iho parlies who are posingus their friends but are really their enemies. In this connec tion I want to say that many of the men are now ready to goto work , I cannot allow them to do so until they can have protection. If they could bo protected from violence I would take back as many ns possible , ! ! ' 1 had to put them to wheeling brick to a pile , un loading them and Ihen wheeling them back. " To show that the smelter men wcro loyal , Mr. Button slated that on the nlcht of the strike , the tiny force that had worked from 7 o'clock in the morning were ready to continue right on until midnight drawing the IIres , that thu furnaces might not "free/.o. " Continuing , ho said : "When men will do that , you must Know that there Is not any great amount of dissatisfaction. These men did work until 11 o'clock when they were driven olT by the strikers. " The committee wanted to know when the smelter would again ho started , if ever. "That , " said Mr. Barton , "is a question that must bo solved later on. As peen as wo experienced the troubles wo telegraphed nil the ere that was consigned for Omaha to the other smelters. Wo now have but a small btocK on hand , nnd It would probably bo the middle of October hoforo wo could get enough on hand to justify us in startIng - Ing the ilres. " Ho did not care whether or not thu men signed the much talked of contract , though It had been signed by nil except ten men who were working. It was only a shadow of pro tection against future law suits in case the inon should nt , any time seek to recover over time. time.Mr. Mr. Nash suggested that the constitution- nllty of the eight hour law should bo tested at as early n date as posslblo. Mr. Barton agreed with his views , md was ready mid willing to bo the martyr. All members of the committee were of the same opinion. "How can wa maku a easel" asked Chairman Osthoff. "There are men now in our employ who are working ten hours ner day , " added Air. Barton , "and you may arrest me. I am willIng - Ing to go to Jail to get this matter settled. " The committee agreed that thorn was noth ing to iirbllruto , as the smelter men wauled mi eight hour day In nil the departments of the works , and this the proprietors would not grant. ' With this view of the case the commlttoo called on Judge llelslcy of tno police court to get his ideas. Ho was sure that If Mr. Barton had worked his men moro than eight hours per day ho was guilty of having committed a misdemeanor. The committee then proceeded to the oflico of Assistant County Attorney Moriarty , where Cnuncllmnn Olsen swore to an Information mation charging Mr. Barton with violating thu state law. At. ! o'clock ho was arrested and taken to thu police station. The time fur healing the cuso has not been sot , but It will probably coma up at onco. In cases of this kind the fUio Is not less than $100 and not more than f 1,000. The procedure Is for the purpose of gulling n de cision of the supreme court nt the earliest posslblo date. If convicted Mr. Barton will bo lined. He will refuse to pay the line and will go to Jail. Ills attorneys will at once apply to the supreme premo court fur a writ of tinhoiu corpus mid will allege that the law Is unconstitutional besides being class legislation. /A.S.II/J.V our , TOO.

Ilo wants to know narticu'.arly nbout George Oroen and Julius Crazier , and nsks the chief to send them back to Kansas City. The Krazier bov , it will bo remembered , is the one who bears two scars of Sherwood's rawhide across his face and is very anxious to getaway nnd go back to his friends , Il wns induced to leave homo by the promise of n uniform and a silver plated horn. The ease against Sherwood , charging him \\ith disturbing the peace by nn assault on one of the members of his Juvenile baud , was continued in police court yesterday after noon , as the court was busy on another case. Sherwood protested against a continuance. maintaining that ho was being held when ho wanted to got out of the city.

LIFTED A BAG OF GOLD COIN , Bank Olcrk Paul Into Charged With Robbing tbo Merchants National. WORK-D : TWO WEEKS AFTER THE ACT , Now lie's Keeping Aliontl of n Detective ; null Ills Frlomls Arc Trying- Make Gooil tin ; I.OHH. Thrco thousand dollars In gold were stolen from the Merchants' National bank a short time ago , and the thief his not yet been ap prehended or definitely located , und the man lier of the theft Is still a matter of mystery to the bunk olllclals. In those duy.s of safety vaults , tlmo locks , burglar alarms und other similar appliances , bankers huvo but llttla to fear from burglars ami safe tilovver.-i , mid it would appear that there would bu hut llttio d.intrur of loss from any such sourco. Still , once In a while some bunk loses a roll of bills or a bag of coin in some unjccount.ibld mntinor , nnd the very wealth of protections and precautions against such loss makes U all the more Ullllcult to ap prehend the guilty parties. That Is Iho nature of the case tint has been causing the Merchants' National bank no end of trouble. It wns about two weeks ugo that the cashiers In balancing and comparing their accounts at the close of a day's busi ness found n shortuco of $ : ) .UOO. The discov ery of course created consternation and sur prise , A hasty examination of thu cash was made , followed by a thorough search of the bank and vaults nnd n careful comparison of the booki and n chocking up of the day's business. Kvory now test ami checking pro cess produced thosamii result , the cash was ? : ) , U)0 ) short , and n cloth coin bag which hud contained Just that amount was missing. The theft was at once reported to the offi cials of the bank who were at a loss us to what action should Jo ) taken. After a care ful Inquiry und Investigation of thu case nnd the circumstances .surrounding it , suspicion fastened itself upon Paul 15. Tate , a young bookkeeper who hud buon workinir for the bank for some llttio tlmo. There were a number of reasons for connecting young Tuto's name with the disappearance of the money , but thu young man was so well con nected and so well lilted that the ofllcials hesitated about chaining him with the theft and allowed him to work along as usual. It was only a few days alter the loss of the money that young Tate informed the bank otllcers that'ho was going to leave their em ploy , having secured a position in Bentrico at a better salary. His resignation was ac cepted , and he left the city. The young man's rcslgnutlon increased the suspicions of the bank olllclals , and they de cided to put the ci'so in the hands of the authorities. Unn of the Plnkerton sleuths was imported from Chicago and put to work on the case. Then tallowed mi interesting chase In which the young man succeeded in distancing his pursuer. The detective visited Bo.itrico and ascer tained that Tate bad in fact made arrange ments for a position as bookkeeper In ono of the largest institutions in that city , but had not pone there to accept it. This is now looked upon by tlio detective as u very clever nisi ) on the part of the y < ung man. Ho had ligured , says the detective , that when ho gave notice that lie was going to Beatrice , the banu people , if they suspected him of the theft of the money , would immediately make Inquiry ns to wnether ho hud secured a position ut Ilcatricc or pot ns he hud claimed. Ho llgured that the bank ofllcials' information mation from Beatrice would quiet their suspicions against him or at least deter them from tatting any immediate step ? for his arrest. And ho llgured right. When the Pinkerton man found that Tate had not been to Beatrice ut all , all of the bank's suspicions of ths young man's guilt wcro strengthened nnd an immediate and thorough search for him was arderod. The detective learned that a near relative of Tate was living in Toledo , O. , and went there to watch for him. Either luck or wit or both favored Tntc. It has since been learned that the young man was in Toledo all the tlmo durinsr the detective's visit , hut managed to keep out of his pursuer's path. The detec tive remained in the Ohio town for a week and then got a tip that led him to think that his man was in California. Thcro is just n little dash of romance in the missing bank clerk's career. A year erse so ago he met u young lady Irom Sun Fran cisco who wns visiting In Omiihu , with the family of a prominent banker , and fell in love with her. His attentions wcro not distaste ful , nt least , and ho IKH boon corresponding with the young lady since her return homo. This fact came to the knowledge of the de tective and ho nt once began to liiy a trap into which the young man miu'ht bo led by his affections. Decoy letters were sent lu- viting him to California and a nice little scheme fixed up for the young man's banofit , but it didn't work. The detective in his search on various clues discovered nn unsigned telegram warn ing the voung man not to go to California. This telegram macliod Tate at Toledo , al though thodotPi'tlvo did not learn of it until after his return to Omana , preparatory to gin ; to OilifoMl.i In thu furb.iro.vioa of his plans for Tale's capture. With this clue removed the detective was in the dark completely , nnd for the past ton days has been endeavoring lo got some Iraco of i'ato's whereabouts. The bank olllclals announce that they will spend ttie amount of Iho Iheft or more if nec essary to secure tlio apprehension of the man. Young Tate is very well connected In Omulin and his downfall is foil very keenly by his parents and relatives narc. It is un derstood that an effort will bo made by hU relatives to pay the amount of his shortage if the hank will in .such ease drop the search for him or the prosecution of him in case ho is apprehended. Tlio rohitlvos have given the bank valuable assistance in thu search for the young man. Young friends of Tate are at a loss to un derstand his action inasmuch as they cannot ImaL'lno nny motive for it. The young man had no expensive habits and wns very care , ful never to go In debt or spend more than ho could afford. It Is reported that n warrant has been Issued in the police court foi Tato's arrest , bill if such Is the case It has been marked "burled,1 ns Judge Hnlstoy and the court officials claim lo know notulnir about any such panel1.

The meeting was held yesterday afternoon , the asphalt question being the lirst matter considered Charles Squires of the Barber as phalt company was present as were Messrs. Fox and urcxcl.

Colonel Egbert then moved that the bids for curbing Cuss street from Twenty-fourth street to Twcnth-ilfth avenue bo set aside , as all bids were too high. The matter was con- si Icred nt some length , but It was decided- not to reject the bids. In a communication C. E. Squires stated Unit John A.
