MATTERS IN DISTRICT COURT
Contempt Case Against Exposition People
domes On for Hearing.
DEFENDANTS ALL PLEAD NOT GUILTY
rortlon of tlic Documentary Kvlrtencc
IK Hiibnilttod niitl n Contliuiniico
Taken Until Suturiliiy Mornlne
to Seciiro u
Tl'o contempt case against the conces
sionaires of the Streets of All Nations , the
directors of the exposition , Chief of Guards
Llewellyn and General Counsel Montgomery ,
arising out of the suit of the Oriental Ex
hibition company ( Streets of Cairo ) , came
up for trial before Judge Scott yesterday
morning.
President Wattles wan arraigned and en
tered the same plea as the others , not
guilty. Mr. Bruce being sick , his name is
left out of the present proceedings.
For the defendants Attorney R. S. Hall
requested the court to allow him to make a
motion to quash the Information -without
withdrawing their pleas , and Mr. Mont
gomery made the same request for Mr.
Wattles. The Judge ruled that such a
motion could bo entertained only upon
withdrawal of the pleaa unless otherwise
Insisted upon as a matter of right. This
being consented to under a supposed agree
ment of itr. Hall two days previous the
motion was formally made without any
withdrawal of picas. It attacked the in
formation on the grounds of Its filluro to
show that the defendants had violated any
order or Injunction of the court or to state
a case against them ; also on the further
ground that the court ua3 no Jurisdiction.
"When this is overruled what will you Hie
next ? " asked the Judge.
"Demurrers for each of the defendants
severally , " replied Mr. Hall , quietly.
Accordingly demurrers \\cro entered for
cnch and recorded , settling up practically the
same grounds as the motion to quash , nnd
like It , they were overruled without argu
ment.
Dociiinicntnry Hvlili'iu-c Offered.
Mr. Mahoney for the informant then de
manded that the pleaa of the defendants bo
renewed , which was done , and the offering
of evidence began. Such evidence apas of
a documentary nature covering the incor
poration of the exposition and other Inci
dental matters was first submitted and John
A. Wakedeld was put upon the stand by
Mahoney to testify as secretary of the ex
position company to the artlchc of Incor
poration , etc. It wus then discovered that
the most essential witnesses for the prose
cution vvcro not present and an adjournment
was taken until t ) o'clock Saturday morn-
Ing.
Ing.Tho
The judge promised to gl\o Mr. Hall a
day In which to examine the Information
and properly prepare his case , but did not
designate any day. Ho was not disposed to
allow Mr , Hall Saturday , as that would glvo
him Sunday also , notwithstanding the law
does not recognize Sunday as poNfiaing the
value of a legal working day. It depends
upon how the t.ise drags on what day wllr
bo allowed Mr. Hall , The court n marked
that U Monday was given to him Tuesday
would be election day , Intimating that then
the defense would aluo ha\u the advantage
of two days ,
Coiu-enKltiiiiilrrN net Avtny.
Under the arrangement between the pro
prietors of the Moorish village ami the ex
position 20 per cent of its receipts was to
bo tururd our to the exposition. Owing to
( ho lack of collectors the percentage for
Saturday , Suuday and Monday was not col
lected. According to A. B. Reed , the man
ager , and S. B. Wailley , the superintendent
of the Department of Concessions , the
amount which the Moorish village Is delin
quent Is $1,000. An attempt was therefore i
made to hold the exhibit. Including also the I
Cooper picture of "Trilby , " until the amount J
duo was paid. Lincoln , the owner of the i
picture , was on the Moorish village !
bond with Morris. But the attorney for
gang of about twenty men nnd they forced
their way through the gates nnd took for-
clblo possession of the stuff of the Moorish
village and also the picture , resisting the
exposition guards to carry their point. As
soon as the team left the grounds Mr. Reed
and M. A. Hall got out an attachment for
the picture The officer secured possession
of four boxes. Strickler , however , says the
picture Is not In either of the boxc-.i , hut la
several hundreds of miles away from the
city by this time.
Judgment oil Replevin Iloiul.
Judge Baker has awarded to D. M. Stcclo
& Co. , a Judgment for $5,736.60 against Wal
ter L. Selby on a replevin bond , growing
out of the failure of the Hctzcl grocery ,
Twenty-fourth and Cumlng streets , Vugust ,
1S92. Trank J. Het7Cl brought a replevin
suit against Sheriff Bennett. The court finds
that the bervlco by Bennett's executrix was
proper and all the other acts of the sheriff's
ofllco regular. Sclby was on Hctzel's bond.
There has been a great deal of litigation
over th's ' case.

Odd Fellows , has begun a suit against the
county to contest the taxes on the OJd Fel

further recson that the taxes for 1S9C and
1S97 were excessive.
The caw ? of George Bailey , charged with

STATE STANDS BEHIND HIM
Vote OutNldc of New York'i Metroiio-
MN IM Helled On to meet
Theodore
NEW YORK , Nov. I. Chairman Odell of
the republican state committee has given
out the following statement :
The campaign which Is to rapidly drawIng - I
Ing to a close from every Indication points
to a republican victory. The closing of , \
careful canvass of the up-state counties con
vinces mo that a plurality large enough to
more than meet and offset any possible plu
rality that can be obtained In Greater New
York by Tammany Hall Is assured.
I nnd that the constant talk by Tammany
hull leaders of their certainty of carrying
the ftato has been pure bluff. There Is no
possibility of their securing In the city of
New York n plurality that would Insure
the election of Van Wyck , and they arc now
seeking with fake bets to b-Uter up what
they know to bo n losing cause. Their hots
the republicans arc calling , and we are met
with the Information at their bett'nsr ' sta
that there Is no more Van Wyck money In
sight. On the contrary , I am in receipt of
Information from hundreds of democrats
within the city cf New York who propose to
vote for Roe welt , nnd I believe that there
Is a surprise in store for democrats as well
as for republicans , only that the surprise
for the republicans will bo In the nature cf
a pleasing one.
I claim the state of New York without
any question for Roo'cvelt by at least -10.000.
Ills magnificent canvass has awakened en
thusiasm throughout the state , and his
manly and courageous utterances and his
reputation for honesty have brought to him
the Independent voters.
Richard Croker , In a statement to the
public , says : "I am confident that Judge
Van Wyck will be elected by a handsome
plurality. He will have from 73,000 to SO 000
plurality In these two boroughs , and the rest
of Greater New York will Increase the total
to 100,000. "

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 4 The pressmen

as a result the first editions of the after

acting upon an agreement to stand by each
other , refused to publish unless the Report
could.
The morning papers will probably be able

the order to strike. The preramen denftnd
an Increase of wages and have submitted a
schedule which the papers decline to ac

NAMES NOT YET ON TIIE LIST
Quest of the Oainpaicm Committees Ha
Become Very Vigorous.
VOTERS WHO HAVE NOT REGISTERED
I'rcNcnt IMnii Is < o Oet Out the Kill I
g btreiiKtli of tlii : City It
Hard Work and I'erxna-
Hlon Can Do It.
Unless the best efforts of the local cam
paign committee con e to naught , the reg
istration today will bo a record-breaker.
Especially will this bo true if the weather
shall at all bo favorable. All of the com
mittees are bending every energy to get out
n full registration , and with the aroused In-
tcroat In the campaign since the close of
the exposition , taken with the increased
number of political meetings , there Is every
reason to believe that the greater portion of
the unregistered voters will bo brought out
tomorrow. The local committees look for a
big registration , the number being variously
estimated from 5,000 to S.OOO for the day. If
the registration shall reach the Utter num
ber it will bring the total nearly up to that
of two years ago.
The republican committee has sent out
nearly 100 men to work up Interest among
these who have not registered and try to get
them out. These men will be sent to every
voting precinct in this city nnd South
Omana , and each man Is furnished a list of
the republicans in his territory who have not
performed this essential adjunct to their
franchise as American citizens. Ho Is ex
pected to personally ( see each of the recalci
trants , and urge upon him the Importance of
having his name registered. In addition to
this the committee has sent notices to all of
these who have failed to register.
The fusion committees are rikcwlso busy.
The thico branches of the fusion agreement
have each been furnished a llt of those
who have registered , and this has been care
fully checked up with the list of the follow
ers of the respective divisions , and the un
registered voter noted. The work of getting
out this unregistered vote has been divided
among the three sections. The democrats
furnish about two-thirds of the workers In
this line , and the populists the other third ,
while the task of looking after the delin
quent sliver republicans will bo atsuraed by
these two parties. Particular attention will
bo paid to South Omaba , as there IB where
the fuslonlsts expect their big vote.
ADDItr.S'i TO lUJl'l'IJMl-AX VOTUIIS.
Cliiilriiiiin of City llejmlillenii rom-
nilllrc I rirH I'arm-xt Work.
A. C. Troup , chairman of the republican
rlty central committee , has Issued the fol
lowing address to the voters of the city of
Omaha In behalf of the republican can
didates for the school board-
To the Parents and Voters of the City of
Omaha : Tha officers to be elected upou t > n
city ticket at ihe election to be held on the ' th
day cf November next h , this year , con
fined simply to five members of the Board
of Education.
At the republican city convention , held
October 15. 1898 , that body , after u mosi
careful nnd earnest Investigation Into their
morlts , placed In nomination for those oiuc s
the following named gentlemen and
earnestly recommended them to the voters
of this city. Charles B. Black , Arthur M.
, Ciwle , Charles S. Hnyward , George G. Irey ,
Frederick F. Teal , all of whom are men ol
educational attalnn cnts and cf splendid
practical business qualillcntlonu ,
Probably at no tlmo In the history ol
Omaha have there queathns arltvn concern
ing our public school affairs of greater Im
portance than tho3u whlt.h are likely toarlst
during the next one or two years.
Not only may theio be occasion nlthlr
( ho time stated to cieato Important changes
n tha present system of our graded schools ,
nit plans and measures arc also likely soon
o be adopted Iroklng to sxmio radical oltera-
lon of our present High echool system.
This school board also has the expenditure
ud disbursement of a largo amount of
nonoy annually , already reaching nearly. If
lot more than , $300,000 yearly , and the sum
s likely to bo much greater within the near
future.
It Is apparent therefore that every voter ,
very tax nycr and every pation of the
mbllc schools has n direct Interest in seeing
-hat such men are chosen to these olllces
\ho will not only act wisely and well In
the adoption or rejection of anticipated In
novations , but who will administer the whole
of our public school affairs with that strict
honesty and fidelity which we have a right
o expect from faithful servants. Such dove
vo recommend the above named gentlemen
I to bo nnd wa believe that no one who has
I any Interest In our public schools can afford
to fall or ucglect to vote for thcaa men.
Under our laws every woman who haa re-
Idcd in the city forty days and is 21 years
old and who owns real property In the citv I
or personal property that was assessed In
the city In her nnrnn nt the last annual as
sessment ; or who has children of school ago
esldlng In the city Is als.o entitled to vote
for school officers , nnd no previous registra
tion Is required for this purpose.
It Is expected and urged that the women
of the city shall take a lively Interest In
this matter and not only vote themselves
but see that these among their friends whoi
perhaps may have less Interest In this mat
ter than themselves shall aLe vole and vote
right on till * question. i
If every one but docs bis duty In tl > ' '
garu theaa guitlemen above named will bo' '
triumphantly elected nnd the administration
of our public schoal affairs will be placed
Into honest and competent hands. I

City Clerk Hlgby nnd Secretary Glllan or
the Board of Education are busily engaged
In preparing the poll books and other neces.
- nry supplies for the city's end of the coming -
ing election. Euch department has n sepa
rate set of books and boxes for the ballots ,
but this year neither Is very extensive , us
the Board of Education has only five can
didates , together with the High school bond
proposition , while the city proper Is only
Interested In the single proposition of
whether or not sewer and paving bonds
shall bo voted.
The arrangements for the distribution of
the election supplies will bo practically the
name as In past years. On the morning ot
election day the supplies will be all ready
and-wagons will be prepared to carry them
to the booths. It is expected that every
booth will be supplied nt some tlmo between
7.15 and 7:30 : , BO that everything can be
ready for the opening of booths to voters ut

PITIABLE PLIGHT OF CUBANS
Patriots Are Starving in Sight of Bountiful
Harvest fields.
RESPECT AMERICAN ORDER FOR PEACE
Condition of Utter WrctcliedneMH and
Heroic llcNu'iatloii ( Iteported to
War Department and Situation
Will He Looked Into.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. Tim following
fetter from Lieutenant Colonel Carbonne of
the Cuban army , now at Havana , has been
received by Secretary Quesada of the Cuban
delegation hero , who has I'ald It before Sec-
retaiy Alger , with an urgent request that
steps bo taken to relieve the extreme dis
tress it sets forth. Lieutenant Colonel Car-
benne is the Inventor of the explosive known
as carbonltc , and is regarded as the repre
sentative at Havana of the Cuban leaden )
and forces in the field. He writes as fol
lows , the letter bearing date , Havana , Octo
ber 23 ;
I am Just back from the camp cf General
Mciiocal , chief of our army In this prov
ince , nnd let mo tell you in some faint way
the true state of our poor and suffering
army and the consequences that may come
to the country If we do not find In a short
tlmo a remedy which will save us.
The Cuban army Is dying of hunger. Such
terrible words in no way exaggerate the
actual conditions. General Menocal took
me to sea his weak , tottorlng and squalid
soldiers , made BO on account of the want of
food and of the actual necessaries of life ;
and to think that these men were In such a
state by reason of obejlng their chiefs , who
desire flr t of all to respect the ciders of
the American government. The Cuban lead
ers In camp told mo to tell you that they will
maintain resignation and patlctae , and above
all , faith in the American government nnd
the worthy president , Mr McKlrloy , hut , ct
the sirao tlmo , let It bo understood that wo
nro hungry , thnt we hnvo In the towiu nnd
fields of Cuba all that Is needed In the way
of food , but that wo arc forbidden to touch
It by reason of the peace order
They do not get Horn Havana one-fourth
of what they need and our nol Hers are dying
nt the gates of the city for lack of food.
What shall wo do ? The tlmo will comu
when wo cannot bear it any 1 ngcr , nnd then
what will be the icsult ? I rctuined dlscon-
M > late to Havana ami tried to git succor ,
but the people me already so pi or that I
obtained nothing. We went to the American
commlERlon , which received us very well
nnd offered im much , but up to the present
tlmo It has given us nothing. If by mis
fortune wo arc driven by the necessities of
our army to get by force what we need , so
ns not to dlo of hunger , will the people nf
the United Stales condemn ut' , or will the
nations of the world , which do not know
what IB happening , Judgn us unworthy cf the
sympathy of the American people ? \Vo wcro
very happy to hear your assurances ns to
our republic. We have never doubted the
g-xxl faith and generosity of the United
States. To it wo owe the complete liberty
which wo have been unable In many years to
establish by ourselves.
Secretary Alger said that ho would look
Into the matter and telegraph the commis-
blon at Havana such Instructions as wore
appropriate to the case.
