curing enough jurors for the conduct of the
business , and while there ar-a but two of
the law courts -eperition. . the judges
find It divuIt to pick enough out of the
regular panel , drawn three weeks ago , This
is due to the fact that from time to time
during the past three weeks jurors have appealed -
pealed to the judges for excuses. explain-
tag that they had good positions in sight
and if compelled to serve on the jury
longer they would lost their places. Ia
most instances the men have been excused
and the excusing system has continued mm-
in yesterday , 'when the judges of the law
courts found themselves without enough
jurors to go on with the court business.
Monday Judge Slabaugh and Clerk Frank
drew a special venlre of seventy-five jurors
to report forthwith. This morning eleven
of the men reported and nine of them were
excused. eath contending that they had
steady employment. Of the seventy-five
men summoned the judge is of the opinion
that several more will report during the
next two days. He goes upon the theory
that all of them had not received their
notices. The men summoned are not cx-
peeled to remain longer than this week , as
after that time no more jury cases will be
taken up this term.

The Board of Governors of the Knights of
Ak-Sac-Ben baa announced that the first
week In October has been selected for the
exercises concomitant with the crowning of
King Ak-Sex-Ben IV. There will be but two
thetead of three parades this year. the civic
and military parade being the one to be
dropped. On account of the absence of the
regulars and the militia companies it was
feared that this parade would be mostly civic
in character. The lack will more than be
made good by the added brilliancy of the
other to parades.
On Tuesday , October 1. there will be the
electrical and mechanical parade , which is
expected to excel the grand success of a
similar parade last autumn. On Thursday
nigh October 6 , wIll occur the famous Ak.
Sac-Ben parade. Chief Artist Remize has already -
ready commenced work on a score of floats
for this parade , and from the progress thus
far made It. would seem as though the exposition -
sition year would witness the finest pageants
that have yet been presented by the Knights
of Ak-Sar-Sen. The grand coronation ball
will be held on Friday evening , October 7 ,

Chief of Police Gallagher's eorts to throw
the exposition grounds wide open to thieves
and crooks by forcing the exposition to dis-
pease with the services of the special expert
detectives it has etoploycd. culminated Sunday -
day in the arrest by the Omaha police at two
of the exposition detceUves. The prisoners
ere released after being In custody a
couple of hours , because there was no charge
which could even be trumped up against
them.
This arrest La the manifest outcome of a
preconcerted plot to break up the exposition
detective force for the benefit of the crooks.
It baa been a notorious fact that the gang
which sic-era the present police administra-
lion has looked forward to the exposition as
oflering to it unlimited scope for shady
work , and the thieves arid thugs of the
country have also expected to find a fat
harvest in it , basing their hopes upon the
confidential relations they enjoy with the
police force. The exposition management
originally intended to see alter the police
surveillance of the grounds and buildings
Itself , but in course at titoe It became necessary -
sary for the management to become the re-
ciplent of some favors from the police board
and , in consideration of thIs , it bad t
reciprocate by giving to the police board
the vigilance of the grounds. This fur-
rtiahed the force with Its opportunity. There
is revenue derivable from the exercise of
the right to search. whenever a thief or
bunco man or crook or confidence man of
any kind is put under arrest. because crooks
never squeal about the disappearance of
'whatever valuables may be found In thclr
possession. A pickpocket Is always only too
glad to be rid of any evidence against bim
and be is utterly in the pb-wer of the ar-
resting officer. This gives to the cro& ' an
immunity he is perectiy well aware of. and
at the same titoe supplies the police force
with a chance to increase Its volume of
earthly treasures.
Months ago when negotiations were begun
by the exposition managers and the police
comission for certain concessions. such as
the grant of a liquor license for the
grounds , location of a fire company and the
establishment of a police station. an arrangement -
rangement wes agreed on by which the police -
lice board was to detail twenty firemen and
fitteeri policemen to exposiuon service , and
the exposition was to employ at Its own
expense a force of expert detectives.
Gnhlngiier'N l'ecnliar Course.
At first Chief Gallagher. to carry out
tb-is arrangement. agreed to co-operate with
any detective agency excepting that of Martin -
tin 'White. which. he aal& must be barred
ou of Omaha. He agreed to work with
either Pinkerton' detectives or Thisie's
agency men. represented by ax-Chief Sea-
rey , but wanted six detectives imported
from sin different cities. This suggestion
did not meet with favor from the executir.
cmtolttee , because the plan gave no
responsible party to the contract and an
assurance that the men would be ecemt !
A week ago. however. the executive cam-
mittee decided to take final action , and
concluded to arrange with some reputable
agency to look after the buildings and
grounds. As this came under Manager
Kirkendall's departxnermt he was empowered
to negotiate with the Pinkerton agency.
which was regarded as the most reliable and
responsible. Men employed by Pinkerton
had been at all the principal expositions
under the charge of Captain Weiss. They
had done good work ax Nashville that he
was aware of. Captain Weiss was sent
here. Immediately on his arrival he called
on Chief Gallagher and said be would like
to operate with the local police and help
them to dean out the thieves with which ,
said Captain Weiss , he was sure , from
what he knew already , the city was swarm-
tag. The chief replied that 1f he or say
of his men dared to point out a thief to
any of his officers the mann doing so would
be put under arrest" A. report to this
effect was at once made to Manager Kirk-
endail by Captain Weiss over his awn wig-
nature. in the meantime W. i. Pinkerton
wrote that he was "amazed to learn that
the chief of police of Omaha would dare
to threaten men who had been sent here
to protect the city from crooks and thievesi"
Mr. Pinkerton wrote further :
"The only rational conclusion to which I
can arrive Is that your chief is in collusion
with thieves and thUgs amid crooks and
gamblers. "
Ills Lame Explanation ,
Gallagher denied through the police or-
gas that he had ever threatened to arrest
any exposition detective , but admitted that
he had said that he would have them arrested -
rested If they attempted to exercise police
powers in this city and make arrests.
Gallagher's statement. however. has the
lie given to It in the fact that two of the
men were arrested lost Suodny while
simply walking about the fair grounds. They
were held In the custody of Captain Sig-
wart for two hours and then released. The
argestiag officer asked them "what they
were doing. " They said they "were em-
played by Mr. KirkendalL" "Are you not
a. detective ! " be asked. 'No , " was the
reply , because it was the moat natural
for a man who was a detective
to keep it to himself. The oil-
cer then said , he "didmt care anything
about the maca being under the employ of
Mr. Kirkeodali ; he would put them under
arrest and dad out. bat their business was.
sa be had seem them about the grounds
for several days. "
Since learning of this outrage W. .4. .
Pinkerton has informed the executive cam-
amitIes that the detective arenev will ore-
teat Itself , and that he will hold Cbiet Gallagher -
lagher and his bondsmen responsible ,

on the P1nkrWns Is touxid in h1 Interpretation - I
tation of the anti-Pinkerton law , but it applies -
plies only to the bring-tag into the state ot

been made here recently have been by Pink-
