THE OMAHA DAILY JIBE : TUB JAV. OCTOllTtJTl TRIAL STILL DRAGS ALONG Luetgort Case Likely to Be on for Three Weeks Yet. CROWDS TinONG TO THE COURT ROOM -Acrin.nl Snyn He Conlil Slnnil Oie S rnln Imlrlliilflj , J.Ht SUM \VI hc ItViio Otcr Stntc'n Altor- ui-j'n Announcement. CHICAGO , Oct. 4. The seventh week of llio trial of Luctgcrt. trie allcgc'l wife mur derer , opened today with n undlrnlnlshcd criiah of people at the criminal court build ing. All kinds of schemes were rivsorted to by the throng In Its efforts to reach the second floor of the criminal court building upon which Juilgo Tuthlll's court room Is located. The police and deputy sheriffs experienced great difficulty In handling the crowd. Only these who possessed tickets were admitted. Lww fortunate people IrlcJ to squeeze their way In with the lucky tlckct-holdera. This plan brought several prominent citizens Into violent collision with thu olllcurs and hot arguments ensued in which the right of the sheriff to exclude any ono from a public court ' oem was ex citedly disputed , Hut the ofllccrs In chaigo of the entrances wore Inexorable and hun dreds of mm and women slowly filed out of the court house when the court room had been IlllertVlo Us utmost capacity. Luelgcrt and his Inseparable cigar reached the court room half an hour before the opening hour. The. big sausagcmakcr was clean shaved , neatly attired and ap parently In the boat of spirits. Ho greeted his attorneys and friends pleasantly and grinned at 1'ollco Inspector Schaack , who regarded him coolly. "I cnn stand this sort of thing a. llfo- tlmn so far as the physical endurance Is concerned , " said Luetgcrt , when compli mented by Attorney I'hnlcn upon hla per sonal appearance. "Dut I wish It was over with. " continued Luetgert , tis ho sent a cloud of tobacco smoke In the air. "It wears on a man's nervous system , especially If the weather" Is warm as It has been moat of the time during my trial. I feel much better since I recovered sufficiently from the Injury to my leg to abandon that crutch , A crutch Is an Insufferable nuisance to a person who Is not used to It. " TIUIKI3 WKEKS MOIIB. "The trial will last nt least Unco weeks longer " , " said Status Attorney Dcncen today. "When the defense closes wo shall have nt least a week oC rebuttal evidence. Then the defense will como along with another week of the same kind of evidence. If wo get through with the speeches In a week's time we shall be doing well " 1'rnf. Kchley of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago was iccalled today for cross-examination upon several matters in connection with his Identification of bones. JIIs testimony was simply o repetition of that of other witnesses along the same line and ho was not kept upon the atand long. Prof. I'lummer of tbo Northwestern Medical college , thu second witness of the day , gave evidence much to the liking of the defense. After a brief examination the temporal bone Introduced by the state and positively Iden tified by Prof. Dorsoy of the Field Colum bian museum as the right temporal bono of a woman , Dr. I'lummer , with emphasis , de clared the bono was not the temporal of a human being. NOT IJON125 OF HUMAN BEINGS. "It bears but . .1 very superficial resem- ulanco to the human temporal , " said the wit ness. "The- line lioro. which has been 'iden ' tified as a facial nerve. Is simply a trace which Indicates that two bones have been Joined or glued together. I notice what ap pears to mo to bu vegetable matter. It Is of a somewhat grccnlbh tint peculiar to vegetable matter nnd to no other matter " | * The bone wnlch has been Identified by the MI experts of the prosecution aa a. human femur 'v < was handed to Dr. I'lummcr. an * without hesitation he denied that It was a femur of the human race. "It resembles In a slight degree a human femur , " sold the witness , "but the bone Is much smaller than the average - ago femur of a human. There are other distinct characteristics of the human femur missing. " The battle of the bones waged all day. ono not of exports disputing the Identlflca- 'tlons and theories of another. Lctitgert Is not likely to go on the witness eland until next week. The big prisoner Is still Im patient to tel ! his story. On this point his enthusiasm never cools. "In three hours' tlmo I could convince that Jury of my Innocence , " said Luotgert today , "I will give It to them straight and make liars ot many people when I get on the stand. They can't lie Luetgcrt to the gal lows. My story will make everything plain. " Ono of the Incidents of thu clay was the sawing of a temporal bone by Ur. I'lcrce nnd Dr. Hlese. The operation was watched by Assistant State's Attorney McRwan for the. prosecution and ex-Judge Vincent for the defense. The sawing was done In u waiting room near the court room. The surgeons were slow and the Judge , growing Impatient , sent a ballllT after them , remarking : "Thoso follona have been out there long enough to saw a cord of wood. " COMPLIMENT FOR DOHSKY. During the afternoon btsslon Prof. Eckley was recalled a second tlmo and admitted that upon ono occasion ho did say that Prof. Dorsoy , whose evidence ho testified against , was ono of the best men the state could have procured as an expert. Prof. William Hall of the Northwestern Dental college nnd expert In chemistry gave scientific testimony with reference to the , action of potash upon ifalse tooth and the plates to which they are attached. It was Ills opinion that the potash solution in the vat In which Mrs. LiiPteert's body Is said to have been disintegrated wa& not of sulllclcnt destructive power to seriously 'alToct the teeth , but It would undoubtedly either de stroy or greatly damngo mouth plates. David Victor , a carpenter , who lives In the vicinity of thu Luetgert sausage factory , was called upon to toll whether ho had over ob served Mrs. Luetgert In a sad or morose con dition of mind. He said ho had not. She was alw/'i's / cheerful and happy when he saw her. , How many times have you soon her cheer ful and happy ? " asked State's Attorney Coneen. "Oh , I don't know , " answered the wit- nets. "Well , about 27G times ? " urged the ques tioner. "Not BO many , " "Well , 274 times , then ? " Yes ; that's about right. " "So are you ; you may go , " said the state's attorney , and the cheerful witness stepped down , Druggist II. F. Kruegcr. at whoso store at Clybotirn and Ashland avenues Frank lllalk bought j bottle of Hunyadl water on the ' r.lght of May 1 , explained that there are six different varieties of this mineral water And tuat lllalk called for a bottle of the variety for which Luetpcrt expressed a preference.

Drexel Shoe Co. , 1410 Furuuiu Street KIIIST JUITI\O OK TiiiaARW TRAIL Omnlin Wnmnn'ii Clnti Ileminn-n IU When the Woman' * club found Itself com fortably seated In tbo commodious Audito rium of the First Congregational church yes- tertlay afternoon , Its first senwitlon was one of rollcf that the straightened circumstances of the past were over , and that It wn no longer necessary for two bodies to occupy the same space at the same time. The fine ven tilation was also a matter for congratulation , and It was remarked that the arrangement of the room , which makes It possible for A speaker In any part of It , to be seen and heard , would be of great advantage In these discussions from the floor , which are so common to the club. After the usual preliminaries , the president , Mrs. W. P. Harford , welcomed the club to Its new home , dwelling upon the possibility of expansion In It to the number of 800 or 1,000. She also fipoko a few graceful wonts of thanks to the club for Its confidence In her as ex pressed In her re-election to the executive office , and pledged to It her best service and her best efforts. Then she made a strong presentation of the "Important business of living , " which she said Is the only universal business , and , therefore , a business to which no ono can afford to be Indifferent. Success therein depends upon the ability to t.iko what ever Is at hand and imikc the best possible use of It. She contrasted the , material and spiritual sides of llfo and showed how they were mutually dependent , and how each reflected and expressed the other , and she laid over against the Ideal of llfo which would make It a career th t Ideal which would make It a mission , The club , she said , ought to stand for the best material things of the community as well as for Its 'Intellectual advancement. She spoke forcibly of the op portunities which would bo open to the club through this year of the exposition , "when wo may como In touch with the best In ull departments of life , " and she advised that It make sure of these opportunities , oven If It relinquish some of 'the work it has been doing or may do In the future. Mrs. Harford finished her most excellent address with a plea for abundant hospitality during the year to como and urged that wbllo the club has company , It might bo well to relegate to the background the friendly criticism which Is so unnecessary In ordinary times to bring to perfection. The other address of the afternoon was given by Irs. Kmma Van Vcchtcn of Cedar Rapids , the president of the Iowa Federation of Woman's Clubs. It wds a plea for an unselfish culture , emphasizing the maxim that as wo glvo out so wo receive. The speaker declared the old belief that women cannot work together to be fallacious. She believes them to have an almost Infinite ca pacity for systematic co-operatlvo work. They do not organize clubs because they have nothing elho to do nor because they wish to follow a fad , nor because they crave no toriety. They believe that It Is good for ono woman to keep up her Intellectual In terests , a thing which must usually bo done outsldo the realm of cvcry-day duties. If that be good for one woman it is good for two , and it Is good for a hundred. Hence the Woman's club. The program was embellished by some very attractive musical numbers a ballad by Relnecke played by Miss Clara Hawley , and a vocal solo , "Once , " sung by Mrs. O. W. Johnston. The now piano , beautiful In the old , room. Is doubly so In the new , and thu difference In Its tone quality as It has come Into more favorable acoustic conditions , was a matter of much comment. Miss Howell of the Emerson school of onjtory , lioston , gave an entertaining recita tion portraying an Incident In penitentiary llfo , and responded to her encore with James Whltcomb Rlley's "That Old Sweetheart of Minn " [ The chairman 6f the membership commit tee , Mrs. F. D. Cole , read the names of thirty-two women proposed for admission to the club , and the treasurer , Mrs. C. S. Rosewater - water , reported nine who have qualified since the last meeting. She also stated that the membership roll contains 500 names , the largest number ever registered at the begin ning of any year. The Ennouncements are as follows : The department of oratory1 will glvo a public re cital today , when Miss Howell will recite and Miss Getty will sing. The musical de partment will organize Its woman's chorus and Itu history class on Wednesday , October 13. The current topic department will meet October 12 ; household economics , October 7 ; philosophy.

REDUCE THEIR STIPEND. The pay of the three captains on the force , Slgwart , Haze and Mostyn , was reduced from $100 to $90 a month. The action was taken as n result of a communication from Mayor Moores , In which ho stated that ho had vetoed Slgwart's salary of $100 for Sep tember In the appropriation sheet because the charter provided that no officer on the department beneath the rank of chief or as sistant chief should receive more than $90. The veto was supported by an opinion from City Attorney Council , who stated th.it , ac cording to the charter , there could bo but ono assistant chief and none below that rank could receive more than $90 a month. In the face of the opinion the- board could not make all the Captains assistant chiefs and therefore reduced the pay of all $10 a month.

Lawyers in this city and Lincoln say that Judge Scott has placed himself In the re markable position of restraining the supreme court In an order which he recently granted In the old litigation over the affairs of the bsnkrupt printing firm of Ackcrman Bros. & Hclntzc.

The regular meeting of the Hoard of Kdu- cntlon was chiefly remarkable for a iirofuslon of oratory that w.is aimed at nothing tn particular and hit the mark In most rates. The nubjccts of debate were mainly frivolous but the members \\ero apparently training for the pending political campaign and the session was suggostlve of the debating BO- clety of a country school. One action of some Importance was taken In Instructing the committees on boundaries and teachers and examinations and the superintendent to take up the question of rearranging the boun. darles of the various districts. The report of Superintendent IVarac showed that the total membership ot the neliools at thu end ot the first school month was 15OIL' , an Increase of 1,070 as compared with that ot a year ago , The enrollment In tbo high school was i.LMrt , an Increase of 1C5 , At the suggestion of Superintendent 1'carso the High school committee was authorized to assign a Latin teacher to the High school on account ot the ataenca of two tenclicra who had previously attended to thrse classes. The annual report of ex-I'rcsldi-iit Udwards was read and placed on Illc. Its principal feature was an emphatic recommendation of the Ido.i of building a now high school.

The details of the plan were presented and the Import ance of Immediate action emphasized. The request was unanimously gr.intod. Ella Meredith Smith was granted a four months' le.ive ot absence to attend tbo Chicago cage Kindergarten college. The reslpnaSon of Helen Lloyd as a teacher was accepted. A petition from parents for a kindergarten at tbo Vlnton school was reforrcd to the committee on boundaries. ANNKX TOV1JST SIDK. There was a long debate on tbo recom mendation of the committee on boundaries that an additional room bo opened at the West Sldo school. The report was finally adopted and the annex at the Columbia , school will be moved to West Side. An ad ditional room was also provided for at Vlnton. The committee on public property and buildings took another plunge In the real estate business and recommended the purchase - chase of A lot adjoining thu Dupont school for $700. The report was adopted against the protest of the minority. The lot In ques tion Is sixteen feet above grade. A report from the same commltteo recom- mending the dismissal of the force employed by the superintendent of buildings with the exception of twenty-flvo men , who were spec ified , was the subject of another wordy con troversy. Johnson dcclnrcd that this was a caucus scheme In which politics was the only consideration. Anderson Insisted that tbo rommlttpo was assuming n power that belonged exclusively to the superintendent of buildings , and Jordan called attention to the fact that some nf the most competent men in the employ of the board were being dis charged In favor of political favorites. The majority had the votes , however , and the re-port i was adopted.
