OKLAHOMA GETS ITS REWARI
ExpoNltlou Starts a Great Iiiflnz a
People to the Territory Opinion
of an Audit.
Edward Whltehead , who was conncctc
with the Oklahoma exhibit during the expo
sltlon and who was eubscquentry appolnte
mmlgratlon agent for the Santa Fe road
came In from the south yesterday to re
inn In In the city for several days.
Mr. Whltehead was ono of the most en
thuslat'tlc of the Oklahoma boomers , and I
wus largely duo to this that he secured th
losltlon which ho now holds. Speaking c
iho exposition and Its effect upon the south
west , he said : "The amount ot good tha
exposition did our section of the coun
try has been Immense. As a result of tb
advertising that we did here , thousands o
settlers have been turned In our dlrectlor
and I feel safe In saying that the rush ha
bardly commenced. The money that our tei
rltory Invested In the exhibit has been pal
back a dozen times , and the beginning hn
not hardly commenced.
'Of course I am unable to speak for othc
sections of the great west , but I am ot th
opinion that every locality has been greatl
benefited. The eastern people came hen
or at least many of them came with tli
Idea that they were to see a country tali
but when they discovered that this was n
exposition that lu many rcppccts excelled th
World's fair , they commenced to look aroun
to ascertain what kind of a country we hav
out here , and to learn something ot Its won
derful resources , which never before ha
been fully exploited. This looking aroun
has resulted In bearing fruit and with tt
Immigration that mrs already not In an
will continue for years to come , I certain !
feel that the exposition was a great EUCCCE
In every respect.
"Every day we are receiving letters froi
all over the country and In almost every It
stance the writers refer to the Omaha e >
position , stating that here they learned moi
of the west than they ever betoro knew. "

suggestion of the Hullderj' nnd Traders' c
a change , relative to the appointment of
' . ' i committee to confer with other corani
i tees upon the subject. Speaking of t
: ' matter , President Daum said : "If the mei
0 bers of the club want a committee appoint )
1 I Bhall certainly name the men , but If th
1 do not , then the matter will be dropped ,
. ' far as the club Is concerned. As to t
\ continuation of the exposition over nt

* upon each side of the question , all of whl
no doubt will bo fully discussed at our m
meeting. "
QUEER CONDUCT OF CARROLL
Awkward Facw Regarding Official's
Connection with Fight
FATAL RING CONTEST BEING INVESTIGATED
Chief iif Police Snlil to lluvc Taken
Price for IIIn Council ! nnil
to Have Ac ( iil an Ser-
Kennt-nt-Arinii.
The hearing of John C. Carroll , clilcf at
police of South Omaha , who Is charged with
having aided In pulling off the Dupont-
Walker prlzo fight In that city on the even
ing of October 22 , was begun before Judge
Baxter yesterday morning. Only thrte
witnesses were examined and these
contributed little In addition to
evidence that has been previously
made public. The tetslmony Indi
cated that Carroll wnj conspicuously pres
ent durlug the entire fight and Sam Walker ,
brother of the pugilist who died from In
juries during the twelfth round of the light ,
repeated his declaration that Carroll bad
appeared at the ticket window and demanded
$23 as a consideration for allowing the
fight to go on.
The first witness was Dr. J. E. Summers ,
who performed the post mortem examina
tion that disclosed the cause of Walker's
death. Ho testified that the dead man was
bndly bruised about the eyes , forehead and
lips and had a severe contusion
over the right car. There were
no other external Injuries , but when
the skull was opened a large blood
clot was found which pressed on the lefi
lobe of the brain and which was the appar
cnt cause of death. The witness said tha
the rupture of the blood vessel which causci
this clot could be caused by a blow on tin
face , but It would not occur once In a them
sand times. In reply to questioning In
stated that the life of the man might havi
been saved by an operation for the removu
of the clot and that In his opinion then
was no reason why it could not have beei
located and removed.
O. D. 1'lpcr , the carpenter who put up tin
ring , testified In a general way to the clr
curastances of the fight and said that li
his judgment Walker remained uncousclou
after It was over.
Sam Walker was then put on the stand
Ho said that ho and Tom McGulre had soli
tickets at the hall and they took In $40.0(1 (
of which $15 was to go for hall rent am
printing. Ho said that about 10 o'clocl
Carroll appeared 'at the ticket window am
said , "IJy O d , there Is not going to b
any fight until I get $23 out of It. " He am
McGuire then counted out a ten-dollar bll
and $15 in silver and McCiuIro took th
money outside to give It to Carroll. He dl
not see what Mcdulre did with the money
The witness stated that Carroll was pres
ent during the entire time the light was 1 ;
progress and that ho had once stood up 01
a chnlr and called on the crowd to keep or
der , as it was getting Its money's worth.
Walker also gave a vivid description o
the Jlght and particularly of the twelfC
round , In which his brother recelvc.1 th
blows from which he never recovered con
sclousuess.
Several additional witnesses were called h ;
the state nt the afternoon-session , but thel
evidence merely related to the general fea
tures of the flght , which had been coverei
during the morning. The last witness wa
Andy Dupont , but as a question was ralsei
In regard to his liability to Incriminate him
self ho was excused.
The principal witness for the defense wa
Totn McGulre , who had been referred to Ii
the morning as the man who was present Ii
the box ofllco when Carroll made his al
leged demand for $25 and who had fakei
the money to turn over to him for pollc
protection. McGulro'B testimony was , In th
main , a Hat contradiction of Sam Walker'
story. He denied that Carroll had askci
for money and testified -that he had takei
$25 , as described by Walker , and handed 1
through a window Into William Walker'
dressing room. Ho did not know the mm
who took It , but ho swore positively th
It was not Carroll.
Officer Alllo of the South Omaha pollc
force said that It was himself and not Car
roll who had ordered the crowd to bo mor
orderly or the flght would be stopped. Dot'
Alllo and Officer Morrlsscy testified that Car
roll was present , but denied that he hu
taken any part 'In ' the proceedings. Carrel
did not testify in his own behulf and th
case was continued for argument until Mon
day.

afternoon. To qucstilons put to him by Mr.
Mahoney and Judge Scott ho corroborated
whait Akoun had already stated. Emll Lermy
acted as his Interpreter and sometimes the
Judge thought there was too much conver.
satlon passing between the witness and
Lermy. j
Toward the lust Zltoun made it appear
that Attorneya Montgomery and Richard S.
Hall had tried to squeeze the Streets of All
Nations people to the extent of $3,000 , but
with something of braggadocio he said ho
had plenty of money and stood ready to
fight the demands of the attorneys he had
$10,000 If necessary to give them a bout at
law with.
The transaction of turning over the camels

$1,800 had been paid , according to the state
ments by Akouu and ZItoun and several
other Interesting pieces of apparent Information

say that President Gurdon W. Wattles ot.
the exposition had prevailed upon Manager ;
Nalmy to give an exhibition of the Oriental i
da n so du ventro for the delectation of some |
visiting "bankers , " as ho tupposed , flot

time. Zltoun's testimony was given with a.
gr.eat deal of gusto. Ho will be put on the
rack of cross-examination Monday.
