ough Investigation ,
When Martin J. White assumed , the duties
of chief of police of the Omaha department
on July 1 of the present year ho was con
fronted by a body of men Imbued with a
spirit of Insubordination. He found the force
divided Into contending political and sec
tarian factions. Some of the officers were In
open revolt against his appointment and did
not disguise their hostilities. The chief
found himself very much In the position of
a ship captain on the open sea with a muti
nous crew.
The very men who were loudest In their
denunciations of the former chief of police
and the commission for failure to weed out
the force and discharge Incompetent and dis
sension-breeding members of the department
are now howling themselves hoarse over the
efforts of Chief White and the present com
mission to carry out the work of reforming
and disciplining the department. In face
of the emphatic statements of ( he chief of
police , the mayor and each member of the
police commission that the dismissals Mere
simply and solely for the good of the service
the enemies of good government am seeking
by every means to hamper the chief and
commission In their efforts to give Omaha a
competent and properly disciplined police
force.
The assertion Is made that the men who
were dismissed were each and all capable and
loyal men , against whom no charge was or
could be made. 13ut what arc the facts ?
When Chief White was first Introduced to
the police force he made a brief address , In
which he Informed the men that there must
bo an Immediate cessation of the internecine
warfare that had been going on In the depart
ment and that members of the force would
bo expected fo give their time and attention
to their duties as police otllcers and let
politics and other causes oC dissension alone.
On the very heels of this Introduction one
member of the foVce walked out of the police
room and boldly announced that ho was an
American citizen and he did not propose to
allow any man to come here from Milwaukee
and order him about. Other agitators were
equally prompt In their expressions of con
tempt for the new head of the department
and engaged at once In plans to thwart the
reforms In the department proposed by the
chief. Mr. White had taken the precaution
to be In a position to ascertain Just how his
remarks were received by the officers. He
found that groups of the officers were In
constant communion with the ward heelers of
the city who were planning to overthrow the
commission and remove the chief. There
was no need of preferring charges. The
chief had his Information direct and positive
and the men who were dismissed "for the good
of the service" were let flown easier than
they would have been had their cases been
called for Investigation by the commission.
MADE A CAREFUL INVESTIGATION.
Chief White also took occasion to Investi
gate the work of the men on their beats and
found reason for the removal of some of the
men who arc now posing as martyrs. Cer
tain patrolmen , whose duties were In the
burnt dlstr'ct ' , were found to bo on decidedly
Intimate terms with some of the women of
the town and their removal was recom
mended ' 'for ' the good of the service. "
Assistant County Attorney Day Is quoted
as saying-that he was surprised at the dis
missal of Henry P. Haze , the chief of de
tectives. Mr. Day had never seen anything
but good In the officer's conduct aqd had never
heard any charges against him. Mr. Day
should have known that the most serious
charges have been pending against Haze for
the past eight months. He was accused of
having assaulted women under pretense of
having search warrants for their , premises.
He was proven to have Interfered with the
operation of the law In taking a girl from the
Jail who was booked for the reform school
and taking her to his home , where he kept
her for a few weeks , refused to pay her the
wages due her for service and allowed her to
return to a lifeof shame without notifying
her parents and friends of her whereabouts.
He was shown to have been mixed up in sev
eral very shady transactions In the perform
ance of his duty and for which ho could giv
no satisfactory explanation. Ho was charged
with the duty of stopping the gambling that
was going on In the city , yet It was a fact
that the gamblers always knew of an Intended
raid as soon as Haze did and no effective \\ork
was done In stopping the games untU the en
forcement of the law was taken out of his
hamla. Ho was Instructed to stop tli ( < viola
tion of the lottery law In Omaha , but was un
able to do so , although lottery agents had
their offices open and were doing a land office
business , oven advertising In the organ of the
dervishes. Just a short time before his of
ficial head was rolled Into the basket ho was
detailed to work up a criminal case In South
Omaha. He spent the entire day there playIng -
Ing cards In a saloon and reported hla in
ability to capture the man he was after.
IN THE CASE OF SIGWAHT.
At Slgwart Is another man who was dis
charged without cause , according to the der
vish organ. Slgwart was a sergeant of police
and was a rival of Haze for the appointment
as chief of police to succeed Chief Seavey.
Last winter Slgwart and Haze were requested
by Mayor Hemls to make a report of the num
ber and names cf the women of lll-rcputo and
of the assignation houses that were outside of
the burnt district. Slgwart was the officer
In charge of the work of collecting the fines
from the women of the town and had been In
that work for years. Ho know the women
whom he was to report upon. After a very
careful investigation Haze and Slgwart re
ported to the mayor that there were Just
two loose women and two assignation houses
operating outside the burnt district. The
mayor was Inclined to think that his Instruc
tions had been misunderstood and he called
upon the officers , through Qhlef Soavey , for
another report. The second report increased
the number of assignation houses to four , but
left the number of street walkers as In the
original report. One of the members of the
commission stated In open meeting at the time
that n policeman was always supposed to bo
under oath and that the statements of Haze
and Slgwart were either perjury or an ad
mission of gross Incompetency.
Then , too , Mr. Slgwart took a most un
savory part In the famous can-can enter
tainment at Ulalr , when the police picnic
was held at that place. He was master of
ceremonies at the most disgraceful exhlbl-
tton of moral rottenness ever witnessed In
Nebraska. Details of the event are too dls-
gustlng for publication , and the citizens of
Blair were outraged by ths performance and
made their protest public In most emphatic
terms.
Slgwart was In charge of the Jail as acting
captain when the Ish murder tragedy was
enacted. When Ish and his wife were taken
to the Jail Slgwart placed Ihem In the same
cell , and there they remained long enough
to fix up their stories of th killing of
Chappie. This action was contrary to all
rulea and customs of the police In dealing
with parties accused of serious crimes , and
was commented upon at the time by Slg-
Mart's fellow officers.
Hut there Is a caiuo
for moat favors of that kind , and It has
since developed that Mr. Slgwart had reason
for being friendly with Jimmy Ish. The
gold star that adorned the Slgwart bosom
was a present from Ish , and Slgwcrt disre
garded his plain duty as an officer to show
his appreciation of the gift at the first op
portunity. Slgwart should have had a vin
dication by all means.
EXPLODING THE REDOUT DOOM.
AI Bebqut Is another member of ( be force
\vhosa dismissal Is deplored by the demo-pop
organ of the dervishes , and an explanation
demanded. "Bebout , " says the organ , "Is
one of the most Intelligent members on the
force ; In factL It Is matter of doubt If
theri IB anolher man , not oven excepting the
chltf of police , In the department who u
postesied of tha education which Bebout
brought Into his dally buslncis , " and so
on. The retired member had better have
been satisfied with having his dismissal
elated as "for the good of the tervlce. " The
fact U that Bebout had not been attending to
the duties of the position aa Jailer of late.
There had been complaints of errors on his
part that had caused no end of trouble In
the department. Prisoners , on being dis
charged , had been given the effects of other
prisoners , entailing serious loss In several
cases. A gold watch disappeared from the
Jailer , and Jailer Debout could not account
for It. Ball for prlioners arrested at night
had not been found when wanted , and sev
eral complaints of that nature had been made
against him. A few nights ago a horse
was reported to have been stolen from
Wlrth's concert hall. The description of the
animal was taken by Bebout. The next
morning an onicer , who was on a leave of
absence , found the animal and placed It In
a barn at Eighteenth and Vlnton streets and
notified Bebout of the fact by telephone ,
Bebout failed to record the report for some
reason , and the horse remained In the barn
for several days , while other officers of the
force were looking all over the city for the
animal. Bebout had been giving so much of
bis time to outsldo matters of late that he
had been neglecting his duty as Jailer , and
his removal was recommended by Chief
While "for the good of the service. "
These are a few sample bricks that show
the demoralized condition in which Chief
White found the force , and the Imperative
necessity for the summary dismissal of po
licemen who pass muster among their
friends as thoroughly efficient. In some In
stances tha dismissals for cause have been
for the good of the service , and are not to bo
construed as a punishment for offenses
against police discipline , but rather as a
desire to rid the service of men who have
shown themselves disqualified for police
service.
Every man In the country docs not make
a good police officer Just because be Is a man
of colocsal slzo and wears a uniform.
The new chief has sized up the force by
their Intelligence and disposition to submit
to discipline , which Is essential , The new
members of the force alt understand that
they are on probation. If they fall to meet
the requirements they will be dropped from
the roll and others will take thslr places ,
and so on unlit the rank and file Is disci
plined to the metropolitan police standard.

WIRES TO GO UNDERGROUND
Telephone Company Will Place Alt of Ilk
Down Town \Vlrc In Conduits.
That the numerous telephone wires which
have been an eyesore on the down town streets
for years past will go undsr ground before
snow , flies Is practically assured. An ordi
nance which , provides for this Is now In the
hands of a committee of the city council , and
the officials of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany have stated that the task of changing
their system to conform with the terms of
the contemplated ordinance will bo prose
cuted without delay. The underground sys-
tern has been demanded by the Insurance
men , the heads of the fire department and
by citizens generally , and It has been de
cided that It cannot be longer delayed.
President Yost of the telephone company
Is authority for the statement that the com
pany will Interpose no objection to the
changes required by the ordinance. "In
fact , " said Mr. Yost yesterday , "we have
already done a great deal In this direction.
On Sixteenth and Farnam streets for In
stance , on each side of which we had over
300 wires , we have put In the conduit system
at our own Instance. We have a large con
duit which runs down the alley back of The
Bee building , from which we can supply
4.000 subscribers. Then we have another on
Eighteenth street. As far as we have gone
the system Is precisely similar to that con
templated by the ordinance. We erect only
one polo In a block , and from lhat central
point the wires are run to all the subscrib
ers In the block. The additional outlay
which will be required by the new ordinance
will be between $6.000 and J8.000.
"According to the terms of the ordinance
we will have until December 1 to make the
change , and we will easily accomplish It In
that time. "

"Sleepy" Hewitt has been on his good be

stand It any longer. He Is In Jail with his
brother Charley on the double charge o (
burglary and grand larceny.
When "Sleepy" decided to quit being good
Wednesday night ho determined to celebrate
the event In royal shape. He took his brother
Charley with him and started out on n
search for the equipment for a night's sport.
A horse and buggy were selected as the first
essential and "Sleepy" didn't have to go far
to find them. The boys broke Into Jim Ky-
ner's barn at 1608 Corby street , and took out
a mare belonging to r. Kyner and harnessed
her. The Kyner buggy was not quite fine
enough for the boys and they broke Into the
barn of W. O , Lester at 1824 Sherman av
enue , and got a buggy that was la their
liking.
Aside from the criminal phase , the boys
made another mistake In the selection of a
rig. The Kyner mare , like her owner. Is
something of a kicker , and before the Hew
itt boys had reached Courtland beach they
had a full sized runaway on their hands.
The buggy was smashed to kindling , the
mare was cut and scratched , "Sleepy" had a
broken wrist and the pleasure party had come
to grief.
When anything Is stolen out of the neigh
borhood where Mr. Kyner lives , "Sleepy" Is
the first fellow suspected , and yesterday morn
ing the first work of the men who had lost
property was to locate the Hewitt boys. They
wore found sleeping In a vacant house near
their homo and "Sleepy1 * " bruised and bat

In and reported that the broken buggy and
the Injured mare had been found In a vacant
pasture In East Omaha. The rest of the
work was easy and Detective Dunn gathered

with burglary and grand larceny.

Plumbing Inspector Duncan has sharpened
a stick and Is going after the careless drivers
who are continually damaging the public
watering troughs. There Is scarcely a day
when some damage Is not donu to one or more
of the troughs and the city Is put to a con
tinual expense In keeping them In repair. It
was only a week or two ago that the council
appropriated $95 for repairs to watering
troughs , and after that had been expended
It was reported yesterday that a man
named Donovltch had driven his team Into the
trough at Thirteenth and Leavcnworth streets
last evening and practically ruined It.
The Inspector says that most of the trouble
comes from the custom of drivers letting , the
lines hang loosely as they approach the
troughs , while the thirsty horses take , their
own gait. The result Is that the horses come
up to the troughs so fast that the poles of the
wagons usuilly strike the troughs with auf'
flclent force to damage them. This careless
ness on the part of the drivers costs , ( he city
several hundred dollars every season and It Is
now proposed to make an example of the first
man who Is caught driving against a trough.

EIDER'S PEOUBIAR DEFENSE
Shows Whjr III * llondimon Should Not Par
In no n tnte fain.
Isaac Adams has Jdst taken a stay In a
foreclosure suit for lilfe ward , Hurt Glen-
dower Wheeler , In the case of the National
Life Insurance company , against Oust Hamcl
and others.
For some time past , ever since a Judgment
was recovered In district court by the legal
representatives j of the child against Oust
Hamcl , effort after effort has been made by
the Issuance of executions , which the sheriff
only took to return nmatlsfled , to recover
the ( amount of the Judgment. The Judgment
against Hamel was for $200 $ , being the
amount which It was found he , as "a guardian
of Eller's appointing , had failed to pay to
Isaac Adams , the guardian who was finally
appointed by Judge Haxtcr to straighten out
the affairs of the child's patrimony. Mr.
Adams succeeded In collecting without suit
about $150 In addition to the sum for which
the executions have been vainly Issued thus
for.
for.This
This Is only one branch of the case. There
Is $1,500 moro which little Mies Wheeler's
guardian Is trying to recover from Eller and
his two bondsmen. This suit Is still pend
ing In the district court , where It hangs
upon the decision of a demurrer recently
filed , contesting the petition asking for a
Judgment on the ground that Eller had
proven recreant to his trust. The defense
advanced by the demurrer Is of the most
novel sort. Eller , who. to protect his bonds
men , makes the legal defense In the de
murrer , states as a reason why the suit
should be dismissed that he , Eller , the then
probate Judge , In Issuing his order upon the
administrator , McMuIlln. commanding him
to pay the $1,500 In question Into the court's
hands , Instead of Into the hands of Hamel ,
the guardian of Hurt Glendower Wheeler ,
exceeded hla authority and BO cannot be
held liable , nor can his bondsmen be made
answerable.
The history of the case runs this way-
Wheeler was some five years ago a court
stenographer. He left a small estate , which ,
upon the death of Mrs. Wheeler , descended
to Hurt Glendower Wheeler. About $1,500
passed Into the hands of McMuIlln , a friend
of the family , as administrator , and Eller ,
upon assuming the county Judgeship , ordered
It paid to himself , whereupon Eller loaned
out this money , as shown by notes signed
by himself and his brother , who advanced
as security a mortgage on western sand hills.
Now Eller has his bondsmen make the
claim that ho had no right to make the
order and claims that before the bondsmen
can be held liable pome breach of financial
duty must be shown , but In tills case , he
says , there is none , because the money came
Into his hands In a private way. Defore
this demurrer was filed an answer wns >
placed on file , but It was shown that the
answer was Inadequate and parts of It , on
the motion of the guardian , were ordered
stricken out. The demurrer raising the points
stated was then substituted.

BBILLIAN CZOe'at NEW. PORTER
Thought to Olvo the Conductor > I'oluts on
llandllns Ticket * .
' 'Talk ' about Jay porters on sleeping cars , I
heard of the Jayest porter In existence while
I was Iri Boston , " fald George N. Clayton of
the Wabash. I had several tenderfoot species
In the special car which I accompanied with
Christian Endeavor people to Boston , but this
porter I have In mind walked away with the
whole batch of cake. I think It occurred on
: he Hoosac tunnel route. Porters were picked
up wherever they could bo obtained during
the Christian Endeavor convention. Some of
them had never seen a Pullman car before
and they bad no more knowledge of the busi
ness than a hursn he3 , pt opening the seven
seals. This particular porter came fresh from
) ld Kalntuck. The sleeping car conductor
iiad collected the tickets of the passengers
n the sleeping cars and had taken them Into
: he smoking room that the train conductor
night attach his coupons. The bright son
from Afrlc's sunny strands asked the con
ductor If he was through with the tickets
and receiving an affirmative reply , fired the
whole brood out of the car window.
There was consternation In that car , as some
forty-four roundtrlp tickets scurried away
with the wind. At the nearest station word
was sent back to have the track force massed
n a search for the lllmslei and by the time
loston was reached thirty-eight of the num-
> er were recovered. The porter who thought
ho tickets were dead stock Is walking back
rom Boston. "
Mr. Clayton vouches for the truth of this
ale and say's that there were many cases of
a like nature constantly occurring on the trip ,

Express company , with headquarters at Des
lolncs U still In the c ty with a vie v to locat-
ng the package containing $6,000 , missing from
he United States express ofllce In this city.
Mr. Quick was averse to discussing the mys-
erlous disappearance of the money for the
reason , as lie" sal j , that without sufficient In

vere wholly Innocent. He was not certain
hat the money had ever reached the Omaha
ofllce , but his business was such
hat he proposed to ascertain Just
where the package went , or know
he reason why. "There I ; nothing
new In the matter , " said Mr. Quick. "The
package Is missing anil It Is our business to
locate It If possible. We will attempt to trace
the package , but necessarily It will Involve
some delay. Wo suspect no one , but all
clerks through whose ; hands the package
would naturally pass will be called upon to
show whether they ever caw the package and
checked It. "

There are many anxious mothers now
warm weather Is here.
And they have every reason for being
alarmed. The hot , vertical sun beats down
mercilessly on the little ones ; reduces their
strength , robs them of high spirits , spoils
their appetite and loosens their slender hold
on life , unless extraordinary care Is taken
that their food Is free from Impurities and
sufficiently nourishing and strengthening.
In thousands of cases where nursing , pro
tracted Into worm weather , has reduced the
vitality and richness of the breast milk , ba
bies that show signs of fretfulness and often
colic , become again fat and sturdy when put
on a diet of lactated food. It Is undoubtedly
true that babies that have the advantage of
their mother's milk seem to stand the heat
of summer best , providing the natural food
agrees with them. But when hot weather
brings down the strength of both mother and
child there Is always danger of the severe
bowel affections which como on so suddenly
and are so often fatal.
Practiced physicians prescribe lactated food
to be kept always on hand and used at once
on the first Indication of loscncss or loss of
strength , or If baby Is evidently not thriving
on Its present diet. Lactated food is the diet
physicians use In their own families.
