Coroner's Inquest in the Oaso of thti Doatb
of E. P , Jlolmos ,
BLAME SEEMS TO LAY ON THE MOTORMAN
Snperlntomlrnt Stone Telli ot the Com-
pnny'i Ittilci Concerning Crossing
Wlmt Imports Snlil of the 1'oul-
blllty of Stopping the Cnr.
The coroner's Jury , consisting of S. II
Wndsworth , U. H.Valto nnd N. C. I'hllllps ,
which was summoned to look into the cause
of the death of H. F. Holmes , mot yesterday
afternoon at Kstcp's undertaking rooms and
commenced the Imiucst , All spectators ex
cepting those directly Interested wore ex
cluded from the room , but several prominent
railway oftlcluls were present and listened
to the proceedings with n great deal of in
terest. Thrco verbatim reports of the evi
dence wore to icon , ono for the motor com
pany , ono for the Hurltngton and ono for the
Holmes' estate.
Superintendent A. K. Stone of the motor
company was the first witness. Ho stated
that his orders to the conductors were not
to run ahead of their trains going south on
Main street nor west at Uio Northwestern
crossing on Uroadway. Coming north and
cast they wcro Instructed to run ahead and
signal to thn motormcn. This order had
been In effect nearly two years. Ho had
also Instructed the motormcn In approaching -
ing a crossing to keep the car under absolute
.control , but not to come to a dead stop unless
necessary. It Is customary for trains to pass
thcso dangerous points at the rate of four to
six miles per hour. The ' 'absolute control"
referred to meant that the motorman should
bo ahlo to stop the train within a very few
feet.
Attorneys Ilcfuicil n Hearing.
James MeCabo and Colonel D. B. Dally ap
peared In the Interests of the relatives of the
deceased , and at this point nsitcd for further
information us to what was meant by "abso
lute control. " Stone refused to answer any
questions that might bo asked by these at
torneys.
McUabo then requested the coroner to ask
Stouo what prevented the car from being
stopped If It was under "absolute control , "
as the rules required. He maintained that
such a question was entirely proper , from
the fact that the object of an Inquest was
merely to ascertain the truth. Ho could not
sea why the mere fact that an attorney
suggested It put the question outside of the
purpose of the inquest.
Uut the coroner sided with the motor com
pany and ruled that the relatives of the de
ceased had no right to bo represented In the
inquest.
.Stone balked acaln when Juror Wads-
worth asked a question that seemed likely
to embarrass the motor company. Ho In
sinuated that ono of the attorneys , who hap
pened to sit behind Wudsworth , had put
the question Into that gentleman's mouth.
"Tho did such . "
attorneys no thing. re
torted Wndsworth ; "that is simply a sub
terfuge on the part of Mr. Stone to avoid
answering the question. "
When asked whether there were any con
ditions under which the train , If under
proper control , could not bo stopped within
twenty-five feet , Stone replied that he had
never Investigated the matter.
"Our instructions , " ho said further , "aro
never to try to pass in front of u moving
train unless It Is absolutely safe. Wo ex
pect our motormcn to use their best Judg
ment. "
Could Have lioou Stopped.
Israel Ixjvctt , the motor company's elec
trician , was put upon the stand. Ho stated
that thcro were no conditions that ho knew
of that could prevent the train from boinp
stopped within twenty or thirty feet if the
motorman had the motor under proper
control.
William Jenkins , a former employe of the
motor company , stated that ho had made an
examination of the wrecked motor and found
that thcro was about half the full force ol
the current on at the tlmo the motorman
left the train. This was enough to take the
car along at the rate of about seven miles
per hour. If the motorman had full control
of the motor , it could bo stopped in two 01
three feet , no matter how wet the rails were ,
When ho worked for the company the men
always paid attention to the llagman sta.
tioned at the crossing by the IJurlington
although there was no order to that cffccl
from the superintendent.
Then there was u nest of witnesses called
upon to tell what they knew of the acci
dent. Most of them know very little , ant
seemed to have been empaneled mainly ir
order that they might earn * l.j ! ) from th (
county. Thero-was some difference in thoii
testimony as to the rate at which tlio twi
trains were moving when within forty fee
of each other , but most of them agreed tha
the freight was moving at the rate of abou
four or live miles an hour , while the mete
was comg quite a little faster.
.The evidence is not all In , but the inqucs
will bo continued this morning. The coronc
and jury will talco a trip around to tin
houses whcro the victims of the wreck ar
stopping and hoar their several stories. S <
fur the evidence is almost without cxccptio :
against the motor company , nud it is un :
versally thought that the verdict , when ren
dcrcd , will at least ilud the company worth ,
of severe censure.
Conductor Ilnrko'n Condition.
George Hurko , the conductor of the II
fated motor , Is resting comparatively oasj
though his Injuries arc of a severe natun
The chief Injury seems to be along the spine
especially near the shoulders and neck. 1
Is dih'.cult to determine at present ho\
serious thcso Injuries may prove , althoug
there Is no apprehension of any fati
result. The only seeming doubt is as to ho >
long and how badly ho will bo disabled.
While not responsible for the accident th
terrible result which ensued to others seen :
to worry him more than his own Injuries. 1
.seems that by the rules of the company tli
conductor on the south trips is not require
to leave his car und run ahead , but on tli
trip north ho Is. It was Conductor Uurko
pluco , therefore , under the rules to bo on h
car , leaving the responsibility for wutchin
the crossing to the motorman , who from tl
front of the car was supposed to have an o :
tended and unobstructed view of thorallwu
track. Those who have criticised Conduct !
ilurko for not running ahead of his car an
making the proper signal must needs Iran
fcr whatever criticism is duo to the munag
ment of the company , whose rules Burl
was following explicitly.
None Will Die.
The condition of the victims of the ncc
dent is about unchanged. Miss Brya :
passed a bad night , but yesterday was fe <
ing somewhat better. She is evidently i
jurcd Internally and in order to prevent h
from buffering she Is kept under the lull
once of opiates during a good share of tl
time. Dr. Macrae , who is attending he
states that she will recover In time , i
though It will bo n long und slow procea
The other patients uro nil doing as well
can bo expected und It Is not thought th
their injuries will result fatally.
Parr , the motorman , has been plac
under arrest to answer to the charge
criminal carelessness. A special oOlcor h
been unpointed to see that ho docs not fi
away , but that precaution Is hardly necc
sary from the fact that ho Is BO stiff a :
weak that ho could not got away even If
cared to try ,
g lip Delinquents ,
Mayor Lawrence has decided to open
actlvo campaign against the citizens w
have neglected to comply with the ordlimr
requiring the taking out of permits by
who mean to do any building. Ho gave i
tlco some tlmo ago that from tMs on the h
would bo rigidly enforced , and 'many of t .
property owners hastened to como In a
tuko out the permits for the work which ,
1(1HI a number of the cases , had already be
HI done.
The following is the number of permits
sued during each month ot the year BO f ;
VO January , 4 i February , 4 5 March 13 ; Ap
00 : i3 ; May , US. U is estimated that there i
about forty owners of property who hi
not yet compiled with the order , and so
\0 of these will bo nmdo examples of
the near future. Major Lawrence i
trlctcd the city yesterday and gave c :
k. district Into the hands of a policeman w
instructions to look up every buildlug tl
IIM bcm put up iiuco the ur t of Juuuu
The two lists will then bo compared and all
who have neglected to take out permits will
bo prosecuted.
Mayor Lawrence wants to bo able to re
port the amount of public Improvements thnt
havfl been made durlritf the year when ho
gives hl % pcxt annual message , and that U
the reason why ho is worktop so Imrd to
have all the returns brought In. It is hoped
that delinquents will go through the proper
formalities and thus avoid arrest ami prose *

Eloped with n Typewriter.-
J. E. McCormick , a young man who has
been until recently employed by the I'ostal
Tclegrauh company as operator in its Lower
Main street ofllee , became enamored of n
typewriter in the company's onlcc in the
Grand hotel Wednesday night nnd planned
nn elopement. If the typewriter was averse
to the flight no ono would have ever guessed
it , for there was never nn outcry raised , and
the trip was made to Omaha on board the
motor without any ono suspecting thnt any
thing wrong was going on. When J. 11.
Sampley , who represents the Postal com
pany , returned from supper ho found the
typewriter was missing , and as McCormick
had been the only other one In the room when
ho left ho at once suspected him. Ho
nnd W. W. Glaze , who owned the typewriter
( for it was a Smith Premier and not a wo
man , ) immediately set out for Omaha at a
lively pace , to run down the thief. They
made thu rounds of the pawn shops und
found the muchino in ono of them , it having
been pawned by McCormick for ? 20. The
machine was valued at ? 07.50. McCormick
was also captured while in the act of fond
ling a large jae which the proceeds of the
elopement had assisted him In accumulat
ing. Ho was slated with larceny , and his
experience is likely to end up with a term in
the penitentiary , in case the owner of the
machine decides to prosecute him to the
limit of the law.

CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 1. Ever foremost
in feeing and clniminp tv good tiling ,
California , now comes forward with n
proposition to supplement thogrcatChl-
cage Columbian exposition with a eotn-
meruial world's fair of its own. The
proposition came from M.,1I. Do Young
of the San Francisco' Chronicle ,
who ia also vice president of
the national commission of
the fair. This California exposi
tion is to follow the closing of the in-
tornntioiml enterprise now in Chicago
and will consist of u selection of the best
exhibits now on display at Jackson park.
That is , if the adjunct meets with as
much success at homo as Mr. Do
Young's proposition to hold it mot with
nt the meeting last night nt
the California Columbian elnb.
Mr. Do Young stated that the
object of the meeting was to
tloviso plans for holding in San Fran
cisco , ut the close of the Colum
bian exposition , n Commercial
World's fair , to bo made up chiefly of
the exhibits of the former. It was the
eonso of the mooting that Mr. Do Young's '
idea was the outcome of the exposition
and the gentlemen present unanimously
agreed to work to that end , und immedi
ately proceeded to perfect plans to take
the fair to San Francisco.

CRIME IN HIGH PLACES 1 It is
not strange that some people do
wrong through ignorance , others from

wrong of a matter. But it is strange ,
that individuals and firms , who are fully

sist in perpetrating frauds upon thorn.
High-toned , wealthy manufrcturing
firms will offer and well to retail mer
chants , articles which they know to bo
infringements on the rights of proprie
