PARDONING POWER OF MAYOR IN QUISTIOt
/allot of tlio County Ilofunc * to Ilonoi
n Ilolcnno Is ue < l by tlio Mayor Tlio
Cnno ( lees Into Court unil Ho-
comci it Perplexing Question.
. Mayor Demls , Book Agent Morris , Count :
Jailer Sillier nnd Lawyer Loblnger are nl
mixed up over a fine point In tlio constructlo ;
or * the statutes. Each of the parties occuple
a different position. The mayor Is In
study , Miller Is obstinate , Loblnger Is In
sweat , Morris Is In jail , the court li In douti
nnd the end Is not yet.
It appears that A. L. Morris , an agent tea
a law book firm , has been working In th
city for tome time and was arrested a fe\
days ngo on the charge of having stolen
law book from Attorney Elgutter and an
other from Attorney Tunnlcllffe. He wa
arrested , _ convlcted In pol'co court and ser
tenced to'pay a fine of J25 and servo a ten
of six days In the county jail.
Attorney Loblnger was called Into the cas
and Thursday secured an order from Mayt
Hemls remitting the fine and ordering th
release of Mr. Morris. With the mayor' '
order In his Inside'pocket Attorney Loblngt
went joyously up to the county jail at tl :
supper hour that evening and asked an aud
cnce with 'Jailer Miller. That functlonar
was at the supper table. Loblnger wantc
his client released at once and asked tl :
turnkey to call Miller from his meal. Tl
turnkey knows Miller pretty well , and 1 :
declined , suggesting that Loblngcr mlgl
KO and call out the jailer
ho wished to stand the consi
quenccs. In the course of time Miller fir
Ished his repast , and found the attorne
waiting for him with an order for Morrli
release. Miller refused to acknowledge tli
order. Loblnger was Indignant In a mlnuti
Ho went on the theory that the mayor's 01
der was law In such cases , and demanded tl :
Immediate release of the prisoner , Mlll <
again refused. Loblnger then tried to run
bluff , and was called. He threatened I
have Miller fired , and was fired hlmsel
There was very llttlo ceremony about tl
matter. The big door swung open and let
lawyer out Into the chilly night air vei
suddenly.
Karly yesterday Mr. Loblnger was i
hand seeking an order from the court fi
Morris * release. Judge ICeysor was not vei
busy , and agreed to hear the case state
Informally. Jailer Miller stated that he ha
always accepted the mayor's orders ar
would continue to do so for the release i
prisoners who had been convicted of vloli
tlons of city ordinances , but that .he wou
refuse until ordered by the court to relea :
prisoners convicted of offenses under tl
elate law.
Mr. Loblngcr urged that the statute ga
the mayor the authority exercised In t
case In question. Judge Keysor cxamln
the law and the ordinance and stated th
there could be no question of the mayoi
authority to remit fines and sentences li
posed for violations of the city ordlnanct
The statute piovlded that the mayor sliou
have certain powers of pardon , but held th
the council must provide the manner In whl
the authority should be exercised. T
council had done this In the matter ot viol
tlons of the ordinances , but had not done
with regard to other offenses. Under t
circumstances Judge Keysor said hq won
decline to state that the mayor had t
authority to order .the releas ? of Morris , i
though n liberal Interpretation ot the sir
utes might give such authority.
n Mr. Loblnger tried to Induce the Judge
say that In case- Miller released the prison
any blame In the matter would attach to t
mayor and not to the jailer. Judge Keys
could not tee how n wrong order ot t
mayor would protect Miller , and refused
sanction such contention. Mr. Loblngcr w
attempt to secure the release ot hla man
habeas corpus proceedings.
Tlio < < ! Church Trouble * Ag.iln.
There promises to be another lively rou
In the troubles'at law that envelop the i
fairs of the St. Paul Polish Catholic church ,
Soon after the affairs of the church WE

was commenced before Judge Scott and th
transferred to Judge Ferguson's docket , /
torney Mlnnahan commenced a suit In eje
mcnt before Justlca Cockrell to get possi
slon of part ot the property. Knowledge
the action came to Judge Scott and he serv
personal notlco upon the justice to the eff <
that any attempt to try the case would brl
the justice Into contempt of the district coi
for trying a case which was pending unc
Injunction proceedings. The case Is i
for hearing before Justice Cockrell ted ;
and he doas not want to try the matter a I
tie bit. Ho has so expressed himself to ;
torney Mlnnahan , and that gentleman pi
l > oies to have the case go on , contempt or
contempt.
It Is announced that Mr. Mlnnahan y
ask , one of the district court judges to gn
A mandamus , compelling Cockrell to proce
with the trial of the case. It this Is dc
Cockrell has the assurance that he will
called before the criminal court on conteit
proceedings. The justice Is naturally
something of a pickle over the situation a
ls waitingto sec- what evils the day v
bring forth.

Insurance Company Digs Up n Mnn When
They tlnlni Snrlmllml Them.
TUCSON , Ariz. , Dec. 7. 'Among the Hua
cliucas mountains at Salvation Army camp
about forty miles from Tucson , a man wa
arrested for whom the authorities have beei
looking for years. He Is John W. Hlllman
and the capture was made , by Sam W. Fin
ley , a deputy collector of customs at Nogalt-
and Orren Gemmlll , under sheriff of L
Junta. His capture recalls one cf the mos
remarkable cases In the annals ot crime
In 1S7S Hlllman and two companions , one o
them resembling him very closely , took a trl
Into the Buffalo mountains of Texas to hunl
They were gone several weeks and when Illll
man and one companion returned the ma
bearing so striking a resemblance to him ha
failed to accompany them. It Eeams tha
Hlllman , who carried an Insurance on hi
life ot $80,000 , while In t'he mountains cor
celved a murderous scheme and killed In col
blood the man who so closely resemble
him and returned to the settlement. He teethe
the name of the man whom he liad murdere
and said that Hlllman had been accidental !
shot dead and burled In the mountains. I
duo time Mrs. Hlllman made claim to th
life Insurance companies In which her hui
band had been Insured for $30,000. The li
suranco people became suspicious and bega
an Investigation. The remains ot the ma
whom Hlllman had murdered were exhume
and It was then discovered that they were m
the remains ot Hlllman. Mrs. Hlllman Inst
tuted legal proceedings In Topeka , Kan , , IK
home , to recover the amount of Insuranc
The case was carried from one court to ai
other until finally she secured Judgment ft
her principal , Interest and attorneys' fess 1
the supreme court of the United States. A
cording to the order of the court the Judi
ment must be satisfied at the end of tt
year. During all this time the Insuram
companies have kept detectives on the tra
of Hlllman , who disappeared shortly afti
his wife made claim , to Insurance. He w ;
followed to Australia and other foreign com
tries and a reward of $15,000 was offered fi
his apprehension , dead or alive. On tl
4th of last month Under Sheriff Gemmlll a
rived In this territory from Colorado and li
terested Flnley In the case. Gemmlll ha
Ing learned that Hlllman was In Sonoro , 1
and Flnley took the murderer's trail at Ma.
delen , Sonora , and followed him to Altar
Sonora , thence to Prescott , Ariz , , Mexico Clt
Old Glory" camp nnd then to Salvation Am
camp In the .Huachucas mountains , where 1
was arrested.
Hlllman denied that he was the right m :
when told by the officers what they want
him for. He was taken to Tombstone , whe
he Is held pending tlio arrival of extradltli
papers from Kansas.
THINK IT A MISTAKE.
TOPEKA , Dec. 7. The. story of the captu
of the real Hlllman In Arizona Is not r
celved In Topeka with much credence by ai
one. Assistant State Insurance Comral
sloner Taylor said : "Hlllman Is dead. 1
lias been for sixteen years. "
"Do you believe the man klled at Mec
cine Lodge was Hlllman ? "
"Of course I do , and the Insurance cot
panles are almply trying to defraud his wl
out of the 25,000 life Insurance. Mrs. HI
man has a * square claim that ought to ha
besn paid a dozen years ago. "
"What' do you think Is the object of fin
Ing Hlllman at this time ? "
"I suppose they will hope to get the ca
which Is set next month1 continued again. "
E. F. Ware , one of the attorneys for t
Insurance companies , was reluctant about sa
Ing anything. In regard to the story tel
graphed today from Arizona Mr. Ware ga
the following Information : "No contlnuan

CHICAGO , Dec. 7. Evidence of a brutal
murder was found today when the choppet
and backed body of a man was discovered Ir
a shipping case lying In the alley betweer
Sixtythirdand Sixty-fourth streets. Tin
police were at first greatly puzzled by tin
find , but this afternoon the body was Identl
fled as that of A. D. Darnes , custodian o
10 Hiawatha building at 258 Thlrty-seventl
treet. The Identification was made by ai
mploye of the dead man. Darnes was tin
roprletor of several news , book am
rult stands and had been recently dlvorcei
rom his wlfo with whom he had muc !
rouble.
The body had been apparently 'cut up t
t the case and there was evidence that a :
ttempt had ben made to make It appea
lat the body had been shipped from a dls
ant point. The head was not badly mutl
atcd.
Tha shipping case bore a French stami
hlch was at first taken to Indicate that th
ody had been shipped from France. In th
ase , carefully wrapped In paper , was found
ock of dark , fine hair , evidently that of
voman.
The box was three and one-half feet Ion ?
wo feet wide and ten Inches deep and ha
vldently been used several times. Ita
narkpd "G. P. Peterson , " No. 2162 , an
tamped "Made In France. " Traces of othe
marks were found , but they had been care
ully disfigured , making them unreadable.
With the body wcro found clippings c
arpct which were Identified as having com
rom the Pullman Palace Car shops , th
llpplngs apparently having been used a
lacking for the body. In the case wa
ound a torn bit of paper bearing the ad
iress "K. Y. Titus , 237 West Flfty-sevent
treet. " A portion of a letter was als
ound , but Its contents the police refused t

An Inquest was held this afternoon , th
lollce advancing the theory that the ma

clpals , fearing discovery , abandoned thel
plans and threw the case Into the alle

IIAYU'AHD IlltOTIIKKS ARKKSTUD.
Minneapolis Police Now Claim to Ho on tli
Track of Mlgg Glng's Murclprcr.
MINNEAPOLIS , Dec. 7. Although tl ;
layward brothers are In cells charged wit
murder In the first degree , It Is frankly ai
milled by the county authorities that the
lave not yet laid hands on the man wl
fired the shot which killed Catherine Glni
n fact , while they have made great progrcs
they are really a long way yet from solvlr
the mystery as to the Identity of the actui
murderer. It Is believed that a warrant
out for the apprehension of the man , bi
ho authorities will neither affirm nor der
hat they know who he Is. From an , InsU
source , however. It Is learned that they col
fidently expect his arrest very shortly.
The alibis of the Hayward brothers a
perfect so far as the time of the actual mu
der Is concerned. An Important admlsslc
made by Hayward to the authorities whl
n the sweat box yesterday which has ju
leaked out Is that Miss Glng was his mlstres
e ! Io admitted the llason and In tl
next breath denied emphatically th
10 desired her death. It Is known , too , th ;
ilayward-was very much smitten with tl
roung lady whom he took to the theater1 c
: he night of the tragedy. He was , In fac
engaged to marry her and the trousseau hi
been bought and the day set. The author
ties believe that this fact may furnish tl
additional motive deemed necessary to c :
plain the crime. It has seemed scarcely po
ilblo that to horrible a crime should be li
stlgated by Hayward for the $10,000 Insu
ance money which would be obtained ar
which he would have to shore with tl
others who were In the conspiracy ,
thousand would be no Incentive to
man of Hayward's stamp , who often hi
more than that In his pocket and was know
to stake $1,000 on the turn of a card. H
approaching marriage and the necessity
ending the llason with Miss Glng may ha'
furnished a far stronger motive.
The Hayward brothers were formally a
ralgned In the municipal court this mornln
and the examlnat'on was continued uni
Thursday.

the other largo. Both had Winchesters In
their hands , covering me. _ I was not pre
pared for an attack , nnd Could do nothing.
They forced the engineer and fireman tc
proceed Into my car. They helped themi
selves. I did not dream oC trouble until the
door was broken and I found myself covered
with two Winchesters.

BEATS PONCE DE LEON'S ' PLAN
Madame Yalo's Schema for Keeping Women
in Bloom Until Fust Forty.
TELLS OMAHA WOKEN ABOUT IT
No Mythical Fountain to Go to but Simple
Mcntm Within the Ueach of All-
Cur o of the I'llco nnd Term
n Kcllglous Duty.
Any man will tell you that a woman will
walk a mile any hour of the day to hear of
something which will add to her charms.
Consequently , It waa nothing remarkable that
nearly every seat In Boyd's opera house held
a feminine burden yesterday afternoon when
Mine. Yale delivered her lecture on "Beauty
Culture. " There were all sorts of women
In the audience , who represented every grade
of .society. Many women of social promt-
ncnco were attracted by Mine. Yale's rcpula-
tton , and came to see whether a woman ol
42 could really look like a girl of half that
age. They were obliged to admit that II
was within the possibilities , for while the
speaker freely admitted that she was on the
shady side ot 40 , from the vantage of the
larquet circle she could easily have been
niton for a radiant young woman of 25.
The lecture was simply a practical talk
, -ith regard to physical culture , and the pos-
Ibllltles which It afforded for enhancing the
harms of face and figure and preserving the
alntlly rounded outlines ot youth past the
ullestone of middle age. Although the sug-
estlons were accompanied by liberal rcccnv
nendatlons of the preparations of which the
peaker Is the proprietor , they Included mucl
hat was In the nature of sensible and whole-
; omo advice. In beginning Mme. Yale said
hat physical culutre was one of the fine
rts , and should be considered one of the
aost Important branches of education. There
, -ns no reason why a woman should not holu
cr beauty until long past middle age , bul
icvertheless the majority of women became
aded and worn. The flesh could bo kepi
_ ust as firm and the eyes Just as bright ir
middle ago as In girlhood. If a person wbuK
nly live correctly.
There was no limit to the culture of beauty
ho only requirements were good health ant
ibedlence to nature's laws. Every part o ;
he body was for a purpose , and It shoult
10 regulated and kept In the same condltloi
s It was given by the Creator. It was i
In to allow , the body that God had glvei
o become corrupt and unwholesome.
The suggestions of the speaker In regan
0 the care of the health were divided ai
he considered the welfare of each part li
rder. The most Important requisite t <
leauty was a pure complexion. First , Mme
[ "ale alluded to the bath as a primary neces
Ity It the skin was to be kept soft one
mooth and free from blemishes. A warn
> ath at night , with a cold douche by wa ;
f refreshment In the morning , and followei
iy a brisk rubbing , which tet the skin aglov
with tho' Increased circulation , were alwayi
necessary. The pores of the skin shouh
' > e kept open , as many of the blemishes whlcl
; ometlmes appeared were caused by the deca ;
t waste matter that had been allowed ! ti
gather under the skin. Every part of thi
body should ba cared for Just as religious ) ;
as the face , for If this was. not done the 1m
purities In the system would break ou
hrough ( he face and thus cause a blemUl
n. the very-spot-where It was most deslrabl
: tiat the skin should be clear and attractive.
' 'The spcnker anMgdnIzed the old exprcg
sion that beauty was only skin deep. li
her opinion It was soul , deep , and the dls
position had much to do with the preservatloi
of the beauty of girlhood. To be reall ;
yujul every quality that tended toward
1 penect womanhood should bj cultivated.
A wornnn should always be prettier at 4
han at 20. It was too often the case Ilia
when a woman reached 25 and was still un
married she began to become a little fright
ened. And when she was 30 she was reall ;
scared for fear that she was beginning t
et old. When a married woman was 3
she began to grow Jealous of her husband
She began to notice that he did not trca
her Just as he used to. He was fonder o
ho society of younger women , and she gre\
o worry herself to death because her beaut ;
was losing Its charm and her husband wa
becoming tired of her. There was nothln
that made a woman grow old so fast a
ealousy. There was no reason why sh
should not live In a manner that would prc
servo her beauty unimpaired and make he
as attractive In the eyes of her husband whe
she was 40 as she was when he led her t
the altar.
The latter portion of the lecture was de
voted to methods of physical culture , an
the speaker exchanged her evening costum
for pink tights which showed the perfec
outlines ot her figure , which she asserte

which she recommended. She Illustrate
various simple methods of developing th
neck , arms , bust and limbs , and accompanle
