that the bill to modify the prow law pro-
vldcs for the malting It a penal offense to

and appealed to the deputies not to lose
their heads. M. Goblet's remarks were
followed with cheers from the left and wcro
greeted with protests from the centrists.
M. Pollctau moved to adjourn the dcb.xto

siderable enthusiasm upon the part of the
supporters of the government , this motion
was rejected by a vote of104 to 14i. : The
ntinouiiuoment of tlio.Totu was greeted with
loud cheering and showed that the predic
tions made in these dlspalchm that the
bomb outrage would greatly strengthen the
government-were well founded.
M. Itdtnei then moved tbo government's
bills 1)0 ion't to a committee immediately.
Premier Caslmlr-I'erler promptly opposed
this motion , amid the loud applause of the
centrists , which was accompanied by pro

M. Vivianl said trio socialists wanted to
discuss the laws and not to adopt them with
out debate. Amid considerable interruption

not consent to rush the bills through the
Chamber.
M. Toussalnt , socialist , created tin uproar
hy declaring the majority of the deputies
wcro panic-strlctten ana that they wcro
ready , in their alarm , to adopt any measure
which the government brought forward.
Finally , in spite of the protests o' the so
cialists , un immediate discussion of the bill
was ordered.
M. Hoisscrin demanded that the minister
of Justice , M. Dubo.it. should give the
Chamber u full explanation concerning the
proposed modlllcationsof the press law.
M. Dubost , who .was greeted with cheers
from the majority of the members , warmly
replied that the , tp.wJbrL ] ; ss law was only
destined to hifidcV--erunat [ loud chrerlngl
mid the associations of anarchists , whoso
leaders the iiiinlitcr loudly exclaimed , are
known to thu government , jehccrst and it
was against this class that the government ,
aimed its repressive ncasures. [ Cheers. ]

The Maclood Investigation committee held
another session last evening. The grnator
part of the-evening was devoted to the
charge accusing Macleod of selling the properly -
orly of Iho board without proper authority.
I-'irM , however , the defense took the floor on
the charge df making repairs to school build
ings without authority.
Mr. Macteod explained hU action by say-
tug that lie did not remember being present
at the meeting of Iho committee at which
the resolution was passed , 'if ho had over
received any nbtlcO of H afterwards ho had
lost It.
The spcclllc.iUon under which Macleod IH
charged with selling school property was
ruad , and Mr. Macleod was asked in regard
to the old Iron at I/anl school , and admitted
that ho had sold It. Ho claimed , however ,
that ho had Immediately turned In Iho
money lo Iho secretary of Iho school board ,
ilo had forgotten whom ho had sold It to und
ilso how intiuli of It there was. He also said
.hat Morris Morrison had told him to sell
the Iron , and hu had acted under his orders.
Ilmt Stove Doll.
Ho was asked it' ho had taken away n
steve from the Jacitson street supply house ,
iml admitted that ho had. Ho had sold It to
tis sister for W , which he uortsldorud moro
than It was worth. Ho had no particular
atithorlly lo sell , the steve , Ing
thought that Mr. Morrison's Instructions iu
rcgaid lo llto old iron was sufficient to cover
Ibis also. Ho denied ilmt ho had over sold
iny old desks.
Jn regard to tlio loads of limestone that
md been hauled away from llio Jackson
street supply' house and thu Cash street
school and which aru not , accounted for , the
\vllncss said ho know nothing about.tho
natter , but supposed nome ono might llnvp
taulcd it away for rubbish.
Whcii hu was asked tbo meaning of a
charge of SI for hauling stone from the Cuss
street school ' .o A'inton the witness tried to
nuke thu committee believe that the word
Vlnton was intended for "dump , " but after
tlcsf ) had spelled It' out all
around It was decided that the com-
inlttce" ' couldn't ' possibly see through
Macleod's spectaclos. It was plain "Vlnton"
and after a while the witness suddenly ro-
mumbcrcd that some stone had been hauled
to Vlnton street , but hu had forgotten the
circumstances. Ho admitted that the bill
ivas pretty high for hauling one load , but
presumed that the teamster-hud done some
other work the same day that was not men
tioned In the bill.
Secretary Gillan was called lo llio stand
md read the minutes of the meeting of
August 14 , at 'which Maclcoa said 'a resolu
tion had been passed authorizing him to dls-
> oseof the old Iron iu the possession of the
joard. The records showed that the roso-
ntion had been introduced but failed lo
MSB.
MorrUon Oonlca Having ; Given Orders.
The next witness was Morris Morrison ,
who emphatically denied that he had over
told Macleod to sell cither old iron or stono.
Macleod had on ono occasion complained to
nun that the old iron at the Jzard school
was a nuisance and ought to bo sold , but ho
luul never given him any- instructions to
sell It.
Kdward Schoonovor , custodian at the sup
ply house , testified to the fact ot the re
moval ot the stovo. from that repository. A
few daya. after ho had called Macleod up by
tcleuhonu and asked him if .ho had not better
send , him an order for .the stovq.he.hua
taken away. Macleodlropiled thatho.ivoulil
do so , but the order never appeared. The
steve was of the Hound Oak pattern. and
was but slightly burned out. Ho noticed
the next morning that the lock oi'.tthc door
looked as if it had been removed by some
one. The witness also said that about , six
loads of stone had been hauled away from
the supply house some time In August. Ho
hud understood at thu tlmu that the stone
was taken for the use of Mr. ICuodcll. Pre
vious to that time ho had received several
offers for the stone , but Macleod had said
that ho had no authority to sell it. Then a
teamster named George Burr had hauled
the stone away , saying ho was taking it for
Ivnodull.
Moro About the Stovo.
d. M..Tester was working at the supply
house on the Saturday before election , when
the stove , was taken away. Ho said that
Robert Macleod , the superintendent's
In-other , came down about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and said ho wanted ono of the
stoves. Ho picked out'a steve , .two lengths
of pipe and an elbow and told tlio witness to
leave the keys so he could come and get the
steve nfter "quiting tiinu. " The witnuss re
fused and Macleod then asked him to Icavo
the lock unsprung. This ho consented to do ,
and Macleod told him to say nothing about
the matter to any ono else. This aroused
the suspicions of the witness and ho told the
custodian , Mr. Sehoonovor , of the conversa
tion. That was'all ' ho Know of It until the
next Thursday when ho was told that the
steve wasijonc.
\V. C. Lawton , janitor at the I/.ard street
school , told a very similar story of u steve
that mystariouslydisappearcd from t'nol'.ard
street supply house.
Utt TrlU How It Was.
Potei Ult. a carpenter , was employed last
summer at the Izard school. Ho roniomborml
that a hard coal burner had boon taken
from the Izard supply houio. Macleod had
lold him to Icavo the key , as ho might want
to got into the supply house after quitting
timu to got something. He told him chat
Mr. Lawton had the key , so Macleod wont
to see f/.iwtoti. The next morning the steve
was gone.
Janitor Henry O'Neill testified that a
iiuintltyof stone had been hauled away
from llio Cass school , but did not know
whore it WHS taken.
This ended the testimony for the board ,
and Itobert Mac-lood was callud by the do-
funso. Ho staled lhat ho was n brother to
Superintendent Macleod , and that the latter
had sold him the stove at the supply depot.
When hu asked him the price of it ho told
him tu take it and hu would imil.o it all
right , ilo admitted having askud Jestertu
leave the keys for him , and that when ho re
fused he took out the screws and removed
the locic to got ut the stovo. Ho loaded thn
steve Into an express wagon nnd took it
away. Alt this , hu claimed , was done with
out the knowledge or consent of his brother ,
McDo'iroll Tells the Hume Story.
Cicorgu McDowell , who was with Maeleod
when he got the steve , testified to substan
tial llv llio same fuctsi In regard lo thu re
moval , of-them.
Churlca Conn , Maolcod's foreman 'of re
pairs , lustillcd that the stone from Cass the
street Hchool was hauled fur use nt the
Oodgo and Vinton schools ,
CO. D. Krooli , n laborer , was working ut the
I/.ard school at thu tlmu the steve wan taken ,
but was densely Ignorant us to the method
of Its departure ,
Mr. Macleod accepted an opportunity , lo
uxplaln himself , liu said lhat he did not
know tnat his brother had taken the stoyu
from the Jackson street supply house until
a week nftor. He told bun , however , to go
and got a stovu if ho could find ono that
suited him. *
The investigation will bo resumed this

petition for a Hpcclal "meeting for the

Board of Trade Buildhrg company being1
composed of arid comprising HU the members
of the Omalla Board of Trado.
After u foiv remarka by President Gib
bon , the latter declared that the ques
tion wus open for discussion , and ,
calling J. A , Connor to the chair , ho
took the llool-ln opposition to the proposl
tion. Ho believed there were reasons foi
questioning the motives of those who BUI ;
Rested such stops as were proposed. The
dissatisfied element in the organization hac
signed tne document and maintained thai
ho stocks of the now concern would bo of

1350. and If turned Into stoiks , thu speaker
doubled whether tlOO could bo obtained for

hat as soon ns such a deal wns consum-
natcd n dozen of stockholders could possess
homsclves of 57 per cent of the entire hold-
ngs nnd then freeze the other stock *
loidors out. Mr. Gibbon spoke of the
: oiulltion of things n year ago , when there
md been talk of ofllcors not doing their
luty and when injunction suit1 * hud boon
threatened against projected Improvements.
Vffalrs had been conducted on business prin
ciples so that annual assessments on certifi
cates were suspended. What the present
olllccrs had accomplished in the way of
totting n grain market hero WAS also spokuti
) f. Now the ostensible purpose wns to
turn the whole mntlor over to n stone
company for nothing. "What are you
going to do with the Hoard of Trade
organization and the Commercial clubt
Kick them out of doorst" pertinently
asked Mr. Gibbon. No valid action could bo
ixkon by the dozen men present on such nn
mporlaut question ns voting away the

cap the benefits , nnd this after the direct-
tors of the present Board of Trade has so
shaped things that now the sun begins to
shluo and prosperity lo dawn.
To this W. R. Hotnan replied nt some
cngth , assorting that the proposition wns
n the Interest of certificate holders. Ho
md had something to do with circulating
the petition nnd know what was desired.
As to the locality of such n scheme ho had
consulted two good attorneys nnd ono
of the district Judges , and all had pro-
lounced It legal. It wns alleged by the
speaker that only thirty or forty of the
ward members , as that body is at present
constituted , wcrd'r-ecelvlng any benollt-froni
their membership and that those had ab
sorbed all the revenues. To thin allegation
, ho chair executed and requested thu
speaker to bring in snccltlo charges if ho
thought ho could bring any proof. Quito n
discussion arose nnd Mr. Hainan llnally
modified his statement somewhat.
L. D. Fowler and J. A. Connor also spoke ,
: lie former In favor and the latter against
the proposition. When a vote finally was
taken eight members cast their votes in the
negative and one In the afllrinathie , thus de
feating the proposition.

nered billiard game between Jacob SchlvolTcr ,
George Klosson ntiil Fr.thk Ives fora stake
of f 1,000 nnd a one-two-thrco division of the
gate receipts , wns auspiciously begun in the
concert hall of Madison Square garden
tonight. The hall was crowded with \u
enthusiastic audience.
Promptly nt 8 o'clock Slosson and Ivc
appeared. Maurjeo Daly announced that
"Budd" Schoflotd had been chosen marker
and William Sexton referee. Slosson won
the bank and selected the white ball. Ho
was noticeably nervous at the outset and
wus in apparent lack of confidence in tlio
open table play In which ho launched out on.
Ho missed an easy cross-table shot , after
scoring ton ,
Ives was considerably more al ease than Is
his wont when ho took up his cue and began
open play with great rapidity. Ho g6t the
balls In the corner of the table In the third
shot and in a very llttlo moro than a minute
had rolled oft twenty-four by careful nurs
ing. Then the balls became scattered nnd
ho ran twenty , mostly In open-table play ,
falling on nn easy carom.
Sloon Itrcovcrcd Hu Nnrvo.
The balls wcro left very comfortably for
Slosson , nnd ho proceeded to pile thorn up.
ills sixteenth snot was a difficult masse ,
which caused considerable applause , and
his twenty-seventh was a long draw. Ho
nursed the balls along the lower end of the
rail and icept them together with great
daintiness. There was apphuuo when ho
passed the fifty mark. Slossott , who had
entirely controlled his nervousness by this
time , continued out-and-ln playing , and ran
"
his string up to soventy-llvo. The seventy-
seventh wns an open play. Ho fell down on
an easy carom on the elghty-soventh shot.
Ivos lu his third shot got the Ivories under
perfect control in the upper left-hand cor-
ndr. Ho carried them along thu rails for
fourteen more nnd held thoni on the lower
rail , Bolng from right to left and from loft
to right until lie called up sixty-two. Ills
sixty-third shot was a long carom find hu
sixty-fourth an enormously difficult masso.
In the sixty-sixth ho bunched the balls together -
gothor In the lower loft corner and added
fourteen more to his strlne without per
ceptible movement of the Lalls. He was
playing beautiful billiards and there" was a
spontaneous cheer from his "rooters" when
ho passed the 100 mark. Ho failed at a com
paratively slmplo draw at 117.
From this time up to the end of the tenth
round no remarkable runs wcro made , the
score standing : Ivcs , li'JlSlosson ' ; , ; ! 3t ) .
< Two ltl | ; linns.
Slosson opened the eleventh inning with a
beautifully executed blank and there was a
look of positive tranqulllly on Ivcs' coirn-
tenaneo as ho made three open table points
and captured the anchor nurse on the uppur
right-hand rail and reeled oft tubs by the
score. Ho was warming up lo rcmarkablo
work and he seemed to voluntarily abandon
his good position for the purpose of showing
what flno work ho could do aro\md the table
and at open nursing. Ho seemed able to gel
the balls at any rail he chose at will. Ho
missed the 142d shot when the score was :
Ives , 532 ; Slosson , 330.
Slosson was in his usual importurKablo
condition of mind when ho started thu thir
teenth inning' and th'erfl'Wrts a grentWal of
applause over his skllltul rail playing. In
fact there was moro enthusiasm over this In
ning than over any of the others. Sloason
did everything ho uosslbly could on a bil
liard table , and seemed to be playing an ex
hibition game. I3ut ho rolled up 1IVJ , in
which there wore many beautiful shots , but
failed to got beyond tlio balk on tlio Itiltli.
Ivot Kim * It Out.
Ives was looking-very fidgety while Sloi-
son was getting in Ills line work. Ho got up
with a'dctchnincd look , which the plays he
immediately executed did not belle. Ho
fairly surpassed himself and his admirers
grow wildly hilarious , while It was seen
that in all Ukllhood ho would run out. The
young man gave n marvelous exhibition of
open table nursing ana seemed to be per-
fpetly iudljfprcnt whether ho gained the rail
or not. He-made sixty-eight and fluishcu
his string. The score by Innings :

reason of a story which has come out , Riv
ing what purports to bo Iho true history of

According to her friends Mrs. Nleoltuii
obtained the check originally from Howard
Gould when Iho laltor was in Chlcatro nt-
lending Iho \ \ orld's fair. As the storv It
told , Iho $10,000 check materialised In a
settltMiient of a part of .lay Gould's estntu
Just before Howard Gould started for
Chicago , Ills share in this particular
division of a portion of his father's
ostiito was MO.UUO , and to limko llio account
on the books appear all right , George Gould ,
as executor , Inado out a check for this
amount lo Howard and gave It to him to tie-
posit. Howard , however , carried the check
to Chicago with him.Vhllo there ho mot
and became fane-Hinted with Mrs. NtcOlaus.
Hu was with her 'the greater p.u-t of thu
llmohu was in Chicago , ami before lie left

George Gould got wind of this transaction
In time to stop payment on tlui clieck. Mrs.

explanation of Howard Gould. Uiu latter
told X.olla that ho would sut the matter

There was a stormv Interview between

too much money to pay to any woman and
expressing his determination to never pay
any such demand. Howard refused to
sever his acquaintance with Mrs. Nlcolatii
nnd roiurncd lo her and reported the result
of his talk with George. Then It was
thai Xella saw George Gould herself
nnd threatened to brim ; suit for
Iho payment of the i-heclt unless the amount
it called for was nt oticu handed over to her.
George sought the aid of Superintendent
Uyrnes and the latter sent for Mrs. Nlcolaus.
It Is said that when she called on Hyrncs
nnd ho threatened to expose her past if she
annoyed the Goulds , she calmly informed
IJyrnos that no mutter what her paal might
have boon , or. what position she
might now bu In , thu tlO.OOO had boon paid to
her by Howard Gould nnd It was as much
hers as though the amount had been paid in
cash. She claimed that George J. Gould ,
after once signing the check and paying It
out , had no control over It ; that ho was not
authorised by Howard to stop payment , ttnd
that Gcorgu had llnally obtained the chuck
from her In a fraudulent manner.
This she explained by saying that when
she came to Now York with tlio check In
her possession nnd told Howard Gould the
circumstances , ho had endeavored to got his
brother to withdraw the stop order on the
checlf. but after suvcral interviews between
herself and George Gould the lat
ter told her ho had decided to pay thu
amount she claimed rather than have any
trouble over it. Hut for family reasons , ho
said , ho did not want the chock logo through
with her signature , so If she wouhl give up
Iho check ho would give her ? 40,000 in bills.
This she agreed to do , nnd received
from George two payments of J.IOO each.
When ho paid her thu second JflOO she
handed him the cheek , supposing hu was
golngr lo count the balance of the 10,000 ,
George Gould , she says , grabbed up the
check and then lold bur lo get out of his
slcht or else hu wouhl have bur arrested as a
blackmailer.

entertainment announced by the Younif
Men's Christian association , nnd last night
at the conclusion of the concert trlven by thu
Mo/.art , scztut , composed of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles M. Whitney of Urooklyn and their
family , this sentiment was justly rccon
firmed.
The children , who seem to have equalled
In musical art thu splendid attainments of
their parental tutors , are Misses Pearl , May
and Estello Whltnoy and Mr. Charles M.
Whltnoy , jr. The program comprised In
strumental nutnbars by the sextet with
piano and stringed instriimcnss and vocal
.selections by Miss May Whltnoy. The oxo.-

more consolation
in that than well
people stop to
