HITCHCOCK'S ' UST EXTORTION SCHEME Printing Notice * ot Mnuor Dcaler > Without Their Urtlcr * or Consent IJolil HlufT at a Uonllilenco Onme nt th Jloit AuiUclout Kind. The publisher of the World-Herald Is playing a confidence game upon liquor deal ers and drueglsts who have refused up to this tlmo to bo held up by him for a contri bution. For several days past articles have ap peared over his name , under scare crow heads , warning the applicants against being prosecuted and hauled up before the courts. Those threat * have been coupled also with the announcement of the names of parties against whom Hitchcock has filed remon strance and the names of others who have submitted to the Imposition and had been released by him from tholr obligations to comply with the law as sot out In hU pro tests , Yesterday morning the following appeared Jn Mr. Hitchcock's Compound Inseparable Duplex ICdltlon : The HcGiisn board mot yesterday afternoon to liuarthu protest case of the World-llt-rald HRuln < it Andruw Nolmm for not ndvcttlsliiK Ills notice In the D.illyVurlilllcrald. .

The applicants nnmcd ahovo hud advertised In \\orhl-llenihl slnco thu protests wuro Jlletl. Jlletl.Tho The inference to bo drawn from G. AI. Hitchcock's curd is that nil these parties named had been convinced that they had advertised in the wrong paper when they published their notices in THE BEE and did not think they could got a license until they had advertised In the Dally Conglomerate. Only m Clammy Itluir. In reality , Mr. Hitchcock has only been playing a confidence game and is trying to got money under false pretenses. The with drawal of his protest before the notices were published for two wceics In his sheet shows that his remonstrance is frivolous and groundless. But that Is not the worst of It. His representations regarding. the applicants arc absolutely falso. Andrew Nelson did not asK him to publish his notice , did not pay him anything for it and did not nsk him to withdraw his remonstrance. Councilman McAndrows expressed surprise that Hitchcock's remonstrance had been withdrawn , Ho never asked him to with draw It and did not ask him to publish his notice. The following affidavit shows conclusively the audacious confidence game Hitchcoclc has been playing upon liquor dealers and drug gists : BTATEOFNKIIIIASICA , l _ _ OOIJNTV 01' ioimAs.S3 ) ; ( - Fred Itnlmors Doing llrst duly snoni , deposes and says Unit he lias never icmieitod ( illbort M.

OVBIIJIUI.KU AOA1X. Jlonril Crnnta n Number of License * In Spite of Illtclicock'n'Trotcuts. At yesterday afternoon's session of the license board very little business was done. Mr. Hitchcock addressed the board and al leged that no evidence had been produced proving that Tim Mimsixo BKK and Tins KVUNISU BEB were separate ahd distinct papers. He Intimated that Judge ICoysor was laboring under a misunderstanding when ho rendered his decision declaring Tins OMAHA EVENING Bun one newspaper and Tin : MoiiMNii BEU another. Mr. Hosownter spoke for a few moments. Ho said that ho thought that the board Khould sco to It that the applicant displayed good faith and that It ought also to look into the good faith of the romonslrator against Issuance of a license. In Ills opinion it was a question of sincerity and a dcslro to enforce and comply with the laws of the Btato of Nebraska. "Doo.s this man. " ( ro- fcrrlng to the editor of the World-Herald ) " how good faith ? When applicants are brought hero this man withdraws his pro test If they pay him tii.'J.'i , " Continuing , Mr. Hosowatcr said that HltclK-'ock's actions belled his statements and made- them reilleiilous and absurd. Mr. Itosuwalcr then explained again that his morning and evening papers wore separate and distinct and culled thn board's atten tion to decisions of the courts In reference to such cases , The protested case of Henry Vundt was taken up-'and continued until 7W : ! p. in. on account of a technicality. At thu evening session of the board several hours were devoted lo un attempt by Hitch cock to show that Mr. I'umlt's application had not been published legally , as no edition of TinKvr.siNO Buu had been published on Christmas day. Mr. Hitchcock then made another attempt to dsccrluin the circulation of Tin : MOIIMNII UEE. .Mr. Foil , who was on the witness stand , stated the circulation of THE Kvitxi. Ilr.R and that the circulation of the morning edition of TUB DUE was loss than that of Tim KVKNINU BEE hi Ujuglas county. Mr. 1'uiult. stated that hu had published his notice In Tar. ICvi'.M.vo BEI : because ho thought It was thu paper having the largest circulation. In answer to a question by Mr. Hitchcock Mr. I'unill admitted lhat ho had seen Hie World.Herald's claim to having the largest circulation In Douglas county , but tald that ho did not believe it. After a lengthy discussion the board went Into executive session and overruled the remonstrance - monstrance and granted Mr , 1'niult's license. Blmllur action was taken In the cases of John Uockhoff , 1'JIO Douglas street , and I'Vlck & Herbert's , 1001 Kirnam. Protests were filed by 0. M.

For the i > ; ist six months our New York nReiitV Instructions have been to attend every sale where our uort of merchan dise was being sacrificed.

Wo real ize that wo have got to commence at once a clearance sale on a , most gigantic scale. As the result of shrewd buying wo hold almost every dollar's worth of our stock at a mere fraction of its real value. Wo have been selling all classes of goods for the past six months at prices that astounded competition. Commencing TucsdayJammry "d , everything goes at cost or less than cost. This means the profits of the manufacturers taken off , the importers' profits taken off , the job bers' profits taken off , our profits taken off , and many articles will be sold at less price than the raw materials cost. This cost cash sale of ours will un doubtedly be the grandest piece of mer chandising over attcmpfcd in the west. Wo have well considered the sacrifice and arc prepared to stand it. In Sunday's papers will be found the itemized list of the under-cost bargains wo will offer for the opening days of the great sale.

Oeneral Master Workman Sovereign of the Kniglus of Isibor bcforn tie loft hero for his homo in DCS Molucs , issued un address to the ICnlglils throughout the country appealing to them to protest against the proposed bond issno. The language used In the address leaves no doubt as to the master workman's opinion in this matter. Ho says : "The sixteenth plank In the preamble of the Knjghts of Lahor reads as follows : 'That interest bearing bonds , bills of credit or notes shall novcr be issued by the govern ment , hut when need arises the emergency shall bo mot by the issuu uf legal , non- inlcrcsl hearing money. ' " 1 wiah every local assembly of our order in iho United States to rend the plank above quolcd and discuss It ut their first regular meeting in January. Thu reason for asking now ngitailon on this subject at this time Is obvious. The secretary of the treasury has asked congress to grant him authority to isbuo > 00,000,000 in Interest bearing bonds. "I am also In receipt of letters from the cotton regions of the south and agricultural districts In the west , declaring this Issuance of interest bearing bonds by the national government will ho considered Biifllcicnt pro vision lo Jusllfy a call to arms. God forold that wo should over nguin feel justified in using bullets In a country whore ballots arose so frco. 1 suggest that upon the first at tempt of congress to grant the authority asked by the secretary , the members of iho order , from Malno to California , hold In dignation meetings anil send an unequivocal protest to their respective members of con gress.

BUSINESS MEN TALK OF FORMING A POOL I'lnn I'roponctl by Which Morclmntu ami 1'ropcny Uuncri Mny Cnrry Their Own 1'lrn liinurance unit llo- Jcct the Italic In Ilntci , The business men of Omnhn are pron.irlng to put on four-ounce gloves with the flro In surance ngcnts ami knock them clear out of the ring , unless tlmo Is called by n discon tinuance of nny further advance In Insurance ratcp. For tlio nnRt flvo months the Insurance agents and men In thn niurcanttlo walks of life have been sparring over rates. The trouble commenced In September when an advance in rates ruffled the usual amiability of the business men , This was followed by a second navanco not tunny weeks ago wlilch aroused n slumbering leopard in the breast of a prominent property owner , who nt once took several friends In his confidence and whis pered a scheme of resentment. The recent throat to boost the rates for the third time has revived the suggestion , which was to form a mutual protection company and cut loose from the old lire Insurance agencies , which ral o the rates on the slightest prov ocation , to the evident disgust of business men in general. MrclH with Approval. The idea as proposed , which has boon dis cussed quite freely among the merchant * of Omaha 1'or the past week , seems to meet with popular approval , although It Is not greeted with the unanimity of sentiment anticipated. The plan is to have 100 repre sentative business men and property owners or unquestionable financial solidity form an Insurance pool. Knoll member to put in f-UO to maintain a protective "jaclc pot" in case of lira. Organization will bo perfected by the election of a president and other ofllcers , Including an experienced insurance adjuster. The advocates of the scheme claim that if the membership of the company IB composed of the right ma terial as anticipated , there will bo no doubt of ability to meet all losses promptly and with less profusion of red tapoaiul delay tnan now exists to some extent amontr lira insurance companies. It is claimed that it will bo cheaper in the end for merchants to form this pool than to sub mit to repeated advances In rates , ns they do now. The excuses for increasing the rating , as offered by the insurance men , are pooh-poohed by business men. The howls over inadequate lire protection are said to be simply for the purpose of drowning the sobs of heavy losses incurred during the past year , which have occurred all over the country , includ ing cities which have the best equipped lire departments in the United States. They say that in reaching for Chief Gullignn's scalp the insurance men have stirred up an old hornet's nest with a political light ns the chief stinger. Tliis is denied by the insurance men , but they admit the possibility of a political "hack" being placed in Gallignn's shoes in case ho is retired. Cam ml Much Private Talk. The result of agitation over insurance rates 1ms caused an endless number of private discussions across the tables at the Commercial club and elsewhere. The gen eral plan of business men has been to re move the cause of complaint made by Insur ance agents , and to encourajo an increase in equipment for lighting lire , as well as better inspection. Then , if rates arc raised in the face of these efforts , the business men siycar by all the gods and the sacred whiskers of the prophet that they will form the mutual protection pool , cancel their policies in the old companies ns soon as possible and "po it alone. " The recent insurance war la San Francisco is cited as an example of possi bilities of the future In Omaha. The insurance men have been on the aggressive over since the Farnam Street Tl-eatcr lire and It is said that even if the fire department and water pressure is im proved to the desired standard they will sprint : the valued policy law as an excuse for the next raise and hold that throat over the heads of Omaha business men until they agree to assist in securing its repeal. All this has resulted in a largo crop of dis gust among the mercantile men and prop erty owners of Omaha , who say that they are tired of acting as cutspaws to draw in surance chestnuts out of the tiro. They propose , therefore , to obviate future threats and submit to any further advances in rates bv organizing a home company , wlilch , they claim , will bo based on solidity and a judi cious Investment. III Other IMnces. W. A. L. Gibbon said at the Commercial club that he had heard of such a move ment and know that it had proved success ful in St. Louis and other places \vhcro it hud been tested. Personally , howas not booming the idea , hut thought that it was high tlmo that something should bo done to keep insurance rates down. Others echoed Mr. Gibbon's sentiments and con- iirmcd the rumor that Omaha merchants were preparing for prompt organization. John Brady said that ho did not favor the scheme , bccauso ho doubted the mainte nance of permanent Interest in It In case of several largo llres. Ho' preferred to take his chances with regular lire insurance com panies , although ho objected to an increase In rates. Others argued that It would prove fully ns successful in a lire insurance way , as bcuetl- ciary organizations do in paying lifo insur ance. They say that Omaha proper ty owners are now absolutely nt the mercy of lire Insurance companies who can raise the rates as often us they pleaso. The lira Insurance men pretend to bo totally indlnercnt on the subject. They say that the companies do not care whether they do business in Omaha or not and that $7l0- ! 000 has been paid out in losses hero during the past year. Ono company recently pulled out and they say that others are on the verge of doing so. The agents claim that tlioy raise rates wherever the hazard justifies and that equalization Is a daily occurrence. So fur us merchants maintaining n permanent pool they regard It with extreme doubt.
