AN AUDACIOUS CONSPIRACY
flan to Depose the Mayor in the Interests
of the Eoodlo Combine.
HASCALL AND WHEELER TAKE THE LEAD
Impeachment 1'iijirrg riled 1-nto Yesterday
Afternoon Aiilmu * of tlio tlmrcci us
Shown tiy Cltf HUtorjr nml
Cluiractrr of the Hclininors.
At 4:1E : o'clock yesterday afternoon Joseph
It. Clarkson , a member of the firm of Hall ,
McCullougli & Clarkson , filed In the offlce
of the clerk of the district court a remark-
blo paper , purporting to be charges of Im
peachment against Mayor George I' . Uomls ,
In which It was claimed that the. executive
had been guilty of misfeasance and mal
feasance In office. This wonderful document
was signed by Isaac S. llascall and Daniel
H. Wheeler , two members of the city coun
cil , and thorcln they alleged that Mayor
Hernia thould be deposed from the position
which he occupies. In brief , the charges
arc as follows :
Official misconduct as a member of
the Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners
In obstructing the enforcement of the law
against gambling.
That ho has conspired with certain persons
to permit the running of gambling places
In Omaha In violation of law.
That on April 21 he was guilty of mal
feasance In olllco by spending evcral hun
dred dollars of city funds for Kelly'x army
otter It had passed through Omaha and was
going through Iowa.
That he failed , neglected and refused to
appoint a successor to Mr. Cowglll as city elec
trician after the council had rejected the
appointment of Mr. COM gill , and left the of
fice vacant.
That he was guilty of a misdemeanor In
olllco by selling Uemls park , In which he
was Interested as owner , to the city of
Omaha , of which ho was mayor. That he
was Interested personally and as agent In
the contract for the purchase of Uemls park
for $30,000 , and drew $20,750 thereon.
The fact that this document was filed at
Btich a late hour , and when none of the
Judges were upon the bench , was a matter
that was the subject of some animated dis
cussion , It boliiR thought that It was a trick
to secure some tnnp judgment , known only
to the main plotters In the scheme. A lively
hustle was made during the evening to find
some Judge who would Issue the writ prayed
for , but none was found , and , as a result , the
issuance of the writ will go over until this
afternoon.
PLAN TO LOOT THE TUCASUHY.
The announcement that Dan Wheeler and
Iko Unseal I had attempted the political life
of the mayor of this city did not fall like a
thunderbolt. Although commented upon to a
great extent , all of the comment was of a
kind that was not complimentary to the two
councllmen who had tendered their assist
ance In carrying out the damnable plot that
was i Incubated by the corporate boodle ring.
It was denounced as a pleco of dirty work ,
while many of the citizens went still
farther and unhesitatingly stated that the
Tvliolo affair was nothing more nor less than
the part of a scheme and the forerunner of
on attempt of the corrupt combine to loot
the treasury of the city.
Unscall , with his wonderful knowledge of
the law , claims that If a judge of the dis
trict bench signs the writ asked for Mayor
Uemls will be suspended and President Howell -
ell of the council wilt become the acting
mayor until a final determination of the Is-
eues can bo had. That question , however ,
depends upon what the judge who takes the
case may think of the charges which Has-
call and Wheeler have drummed up for the
occasion.
The charter of cities of the metropolitan
class provides that when two councllmen
shall prefer charges and specifications
against the mayor the Judge of the district
court shall cite such officer to appear , and
that the proceedings shall take precedence
over all civil causes , and that the accused
( shall be tried by the rules of such court ,
made and provided. The charter also pro
vides that the. judge may suspend the ac
cused , but the whole matter of suspension
is left to the discretion of the court.
Taking Uio charter view of the situation ,
It Is doubtful If any judge upon the bench
Of this district cares to take upon his
shoulders the responsibility of suspending
Mayor Demls with no more evidence than
thn flimsy charges trumped up by two men
\vho ore known to be actuated by motives
which have never been too honest , In these
or any of their other public or political
bets.
HOW IT WAS HATCHED.
' During the last campaign the franchisee !
corporations banded themselves together In
thelr , support of Iko Hascall for the position
of mayor of this city , the agreement being
to also support certain men for the coun
cil. Money was used as freely as water ,
and all of the Influence and means at com-
fnand went toward the securing of the elec
tion of the ticket endorsed by the combine ,
jlascall , however , was Ignomlnlously de-
zeatcd , and for a time this was a black cyo
to the corporation gang , but within thirty
flays after the result of the election had
teen declared the conspiracy to depose
Mayor Demls by bringing Impeachment
charges was hatched , the plan then being
to cet rid of him on account of alleged
tntsdomeanors In ofllco committed during
jils first term. The Infamous plot had Us
rfoadtiuarters In the olllco of Solon L. Wiley
of the electric lighting company , while the
hindquarters were trailed up Parnam street
and located In the ofllco of the World-Her
ald. For some reason the plotters failed to
filjow their hands to the public , but soon
afterwards they Instituted their crusade of
morality and commenced the raiding of
the gamblers- using this as a cloak
tmd a dlseulse to cover the cloven foot that
ttos to be put forward at a later date. Their
failure to elect the president , of the council
, was a temporary check , but soon the schem
ers got their second wind and again jumped
Into the breach. It required two councll-
flien to sign the charges , and a great deal
of difficulty was experienced In getting the
second man , Haacall , however , being ready
o sign anything that would have a tendency
{ o throw the city government Into the hands )
Of the raiders. Wheeler was not the first
man who was approached upon the subject
Of signing the charges , as another member
jvns tampered with , ho being taken up Into
the mountain , where he was shown a fair
land , all of which ho was promised , provid
ing ho would lend himself to the combine ,
This member , who at one time has had a
connection with the World-Herald , was ap
pealed to on the grounds of friendship , but
when the hand was shown to him ho turned
| t down with a flat refusal. Two other
councllmen wore offered a good round sum
of money If they would bring the charges ,
but they refused the boodle , after which at
tention was turned to Mr. IMwards , who
partially agreed to haul the chestnuts out
of the fire , but coming to his senses ho
Jjccamo 'conscience stricken and refused to
loin the copartnership with Hascall. Flnnll/
llio conspiracy seemed to have collapsed
Jlke a balloon , but an occasion was arising
ktnd decisive action had to bo taken , as
Uesperato circumstances required desperate
fiction.
, i WHY THEY DISLIKE I3EMIS.
' Mayor Uemls has stood as the bulwark
between the treasury and the looters of the
Strong box nnd has balked the Jobs at every
turn , Only two weeks ago an omnibus
rdlnanco wont through the council pro-
ldlng for the payment of a $17,000 bill to
be electric lighting company and an asphalt
avement repairing bill for $14,000. Uoth
f these claims were vetoed , but when they
ot back to the council the bill of the
ighting company went otar the veto with a
iurrah , but a sufficient amount of lubricator
nd not been applied nnd the Ml of the
ph lt company failed to get the necessary
umber of vote * . This temporarily disabled
ho gang , but the member , threw out new
nea and again resorted to desperate tactics ,
blch they adopted yesterday ,
Wl ey.Tt would teem , U In sorry straits
r money , but H l manifest that he doea
t dare to go to the courts to press hU
and a k for a mandamus to compel
he mayor to Blgn his warrant. Instead of
eing this he finds that his chances are
ter by securing the assistance of a po-
autnu | ) | ko Hascall.
emergency for the dc perato act came
the comlnir J ° ' 1 e month of July ,
and the combine found this the opportun
time for the ousting of the mayor. Thin I
not the only reason that Hascall has fo
politically nssasslnatliiK Mayor Demls. I
he can get him out of the way he will have
a $16,000 grading Job that he has dectarct
must be secured at all hsznrds , and owing to
some of the clrcumitancos surrounding the
deal he knows that he can never pul
through It with Uemls watching over the
treasury. Beyond all of this there la a
mpmbcr of the Donrd of Public Works to be
appointed within the next twenty-four hours
to aay nothing of the four or five other Im
portant offices to be filled. Hascall and his
co-workers In the dastardly scheme whlcl
they have concocted realize that If they can
but put Bemls out they will have full swing
and can run thing ) to suit their own fancies
Last , but not least , thcro la the city elec
trician vacancy , and It la the evident In
tendon to foist Wiley's man Friday upon the
city through the back door of an acting
mayor.
Regarding the charge of the appropriating
of money to aid the Kelly Commonwcalcrs
It Is known that It Is too flimsy to be con
sldcrcd for one moment , as the money was
voted by the city council , the warrant drawn
on the treasury for the amount simply being
signed by the mayor.
In regard to the gambling matter , It was
the outcome of the crufade and was In line
with the course followed by the preceding
mayors of the city , and coming down ti
tht Uemls park subject , upon which Unseal
and Wheeler place so much stress , the bonds
for the purchase of the land were voted for
this specific purpose three months before
Mayor Demls became the executive of the
city. In no way did he engineer the sale-
the tract , being simply one of the smaller
stockholders In the Demls Park company.

PARDEE ABKSA MANDAMUS.
Wanta Electric1 .Street Lighting Contract
Acrortllng to 111 * Mid.
A new complication In the electric light
muddle arose yesterday afternoon when E.
T. Pardee , throiighihls attorneys , filed a pe
tition In the UlBtrlct court asking that a
mandamus be tissued to compel the mayor
and city council to enter Into a contract
with the plaintiff for the electric lighting of
the city of Omaha according to the terms
of the bid submitted by the plaintiff , and
which waa accepted by the council on Feb
ruary 27. The petition recites the entire
history of the case , which may be briefly
stated as follows : On January 31 of this
year the city advertised for bids for electric
lighting , and the bid of the plaintiff was pre
sented with others on February 13. The
Pardcc bid was the lowest submitted by a
considerable margin , and on February 27 the
council accepted the bid on condition that
within three days the bidder should de
posit a bond In the sum of $25,000 to enter
Into and carry out the contract. This bond
waa promptly filed with Samuel D. Mercer as
surety , but the council refused either to ap
prove the bond or to enter Into a contract
on the terms of the bid.
The plaintiff also alleges that the failure
of the council to carry out Its agreement la
due to an Illegal conspiracy between the
majority of the council and the New Thom
son-Houston Electric Light company ; that
the said wrongful and fraudulent conspiracy
has for Its purpose the protection by said
council of this company In Its unlawful
monopoly In and unreasonable and extor-
lonate prices for lighting the city of Omaha ,
and that the council has entered Into this
conspiracy In order to fraudulently prevent
any person or corporation from obtaining
said contract at any price whatever and has
agreed with the Thomson-Houston company
that the advertising for bids should be a
form without meaning , and that this com
pany should be protected at all hazards In
Its fraudulent designs.
The petition goes on to review the sub
sequent action of the council In creating a
joint committee Instead of allowing the matter -
tor to take Its usual course by reference to
the committee on gas and electric lights and
tn repeatedly throwing out all bids and re-
advertlsing when the bids submitted were
unfavorable to the Thomson-Houston com
pany. Finally the plaintiff avers that he Is
Informed and believes that certain mem
bers of the council have entered Into this
conspiracy on account of pre-election prom
ises made to the said Thomson-Houston
company and that In various other ways this
company has acquired and still retains an
undue Influence over these members.
The case Is set for hearing before Judge
Ambrose on July 7 at 9:30 : a. m.
CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Business Done nt Yesterday's Special Session
Hiisriill'i ItlilfT No Good.
The threat made by Councilman Hascall
at the time when his attempt to cut down
the force of the Board of Public Works
ended In his discomfiture , that he would de
feat the appropriation ordinance , failed to
materialize at the sspeclal council meeting
yesterday afternoon.
At the time Haecall asserted that he
would bo on hand with the ten votes neces
sary to defeat the ordinance , but when the
ordinance came up for passage the votes
were all on the other side of the proposition ,
and the ordinance was passed without com
ment.
A communication was read from J. B.
Schupp , president > of the Central Labor
union , asking the council to take some ac
tion towards supplying provisions for the
Industrial army that was approaching the
city. Several' ' .members declared that the
council had noi authority to appropriate
money for that purpose , while others were
In favor of making some reasonable provi
sion for the travelers. A motion to refer to
the county commissioners was followed by
an amendment to refer to the finance com
mittee until the next meeting. Calm moved
as a substitute that $200 be appropriated to
purchase provisions for the Comrnonwealers ,
but this was voted down and the original
motion prevailed.
The old fight In the Board of Health over
the removal of Inspectors Landergren ,
Smith and Albrecht by Commlsbloner Sa-
vllle In accordance with the re
trenchment resolution of the coun
cil was transferred to the council
chamber through a bill for the services of
the three Inspectors during June. Bruner
and McAndrews made a vigorous effort to
get the bill allowed on the ground that the
commissioner had no authority to suspend
the Inspectors. The motion to refer pre
vailed.
An ordinance providing for the opening of
a street along Saddle creek from Hamilton
to Center streets was Introduced and re
ferred. The amended garbage ordinance
was passed.
The council then adjourned and recon
vened in special session to consider the
Juno appropriation ordinance. This was
successfully accomplished and adjournment
was taken until Tuesday evening.

tiad undertaken to curtail MacLeod's powers ,
received a letter threatening his life. It
