GOOD ROADS ORGANIZATION
Movement in Progress to Inaugurate a
Thorough Campaign ,
NEBRASKA IS SOON TO BE ORGANIZED
JVntlnrml An ocln < loti Cnntcmitlntcx
Cnrrj-lnw Out n 1'lnii for im Ulnli-
arntc it System nn that of
1'olltlcnl I'nrtlc * .
The good roada movement is headed for
Nebraska , and when it cornea there will bo
no room fw doubt that It 1 here. The State
and Interstate Good Roads and Public Im
provement association , which Is not In favor
of any particular patent kind of roads or
system of roadmaklng except the most prac
tical for providing good roads , will organize
the state within the next few months la
eucli a manner that only a rittle co-opera-
Ion on the part of the people of the state will
bo jieccosary to make- the work effective.
W. II. "Moore " , president of the association ,
was In the city for a short time Tuesday , end
will return in about a month with other of
ficers of the association , prepared to work
until the organization nnd the cause are rep.
resented In every county and township In
the state.
The plan of organization Is elaborate , but
necessarily eo , as It alms to make the move-
mcnt na much a national ono and OB well
known as any political party is. In fact it
will resemble very much a political party
when competed , with the Important differ
ence * hat there will bo no "plo" to dis
tribute. And the immediate object of the
workers will bo to throw the subject Into
politics , to force a recognition of its im
portance from the leadens of the national
parties , and get the people so generally In
terested that they will ask of their candi
dates , "How do you stand on the good roads
question ? "
When the work Is taken up In Nebraska
the Btoto will bo divided Into four districts.
In each a convention will be called , at which
the plan of organization for each county
and each township will be captained and at
which also certain men from every com
munity will bo interested and induced to
take the matter up. The object of district
nnd tate conventions Is primarily to effect
a lasting organization , so that all 'the ' people
ple will bo brought In touch with each other
nnd secondly to point out the way to begin
the work. When county and district organi
zations have been effected and the people
have been started to finding out what their
road taxes go for , the aim of the organizers ,
for the time being , -will have been achieved.
Stne Convention.
Then comes the state convention. When
nil the district conventions have met and
the time is rlpo the governor of the state
will bo asked to appoint the delegates to
the state convention , two from each con
gressional district nnd five from each
county. State conventions are to bo dis
tinctly educational Jn their nature. The
education of the delegates In road matters ,
something not attempted at the district
conventions , will hero bo mtido the - principal
cipal object. Among the experts who will
treat of subjects relating to rood-making
at tbo state conventions are Secretary James
Wilson of the Department of Agriculture ;
General Roy Stone , director of the office
of road inquiry under the Agricultural de
partment , who built the roads for the army
in Porto Rico , nnd E. G. Harrison , a gov
ernment road engineer. The latter will con
struct at each convention a sample section
of road according to the best methods and
will leave It to remain as''n lasting expo
nent of the movement. Secretary Wlleon
will address the farmers upon the Interest
of the government in roads.
Of course every state convention will ba
productive of good papers and addresses ,
which will 'bo of local Interest nnd will com
mand more attention in the particular com
munity than a library of 'books ' on the sub
ject. Thced and other addresses will be
distributed through the county and town
ship organizations to every farmer In the
state. It Is the .hope of the promoters of
the organization that when the mechanism
Itself is completed the > work of gaining con
verts to the cause will go forward without
nny urging and will bo carried on In every
part of the country with a strength Im
parted by the local Interest In It. The
great difficulty in calling conventions la
that It is difficult to find men who know
enough about tbo subject to get a conven
tion started or to offer any practlacl sug
gestions about it. It is believed that In a
couple of years , at least , that such condi
tions will have entirely disappeared.
I'olltlcnl , lint Naiiimrtlxnn.
The work of organization Is at present
being confined to the twenty-two states
which wore represented at the national con
vention held in St. Louis In November ,
1SDS , These states will have been worked
up and a national convention arranged for
by the end of the winter. The national con
vention will 'bo held about six weeks be
fore either of the two national political
conventions next year nnd the question , will
thua bo 'forced ' upon the attention of the
two parties. In this way and to this ex
tent tbo question Is being made a political
ono ; the movement is noapartlsan , but the
cause must bo taken up , so its backers say ,
by politicians who would win commissions
as statesmen ,
The dltrlct conventions within the states
will appoint committees on legislation ,
which will draw up proposed measures and
Biibmlt them to county meetings for criti
cism. The Btato conventions -will 'bring into
harmony and singleness of purpose the work
on tills branch done In the districts and
got it In such shape thnt It may bo pre
sented to state legislatures.
. The etato convention in Nebraska will bo
Jield cither in Lincoln or Omaha. It Is
cimtomary to select the capital , hut it is
of course too early to name the city in this
state now. The meeting will ibrlng together
n very respectable number of the repre
sentative citizens of the state , i * a fair
proportion of these appointed attend. The
last national convention was a very largo
affair , the delegated numbering 2,200.
SHERMAN-CORRIGAN TROUBLE
Another Chapter i Hoard liy Jtmtloo
Kiiikend , Who JlcfiiNpN to Do Any
llliidliiK Over.
Justlco Kln'kcad heard the Shcrman-Cor-
rtgan case Monday and yesterday he lis
tened to the eamo thing , with but a change
in the order of names , Mrs. Corrlgan was
( hla tlmo tbo complaining witness. Only the
principals changed parts , the secondary
nctom and'the chorus remaining the same.
( Additional facts were brought out , but the
result was unchanged , the court refusing to
( bind any ono over.
According to the preponderance of testi
mony , tbo row started with the children
who -were playing around a bonfire. Mrs.
Sherman's girls made some impolite remarks
to Mrs. Corrlpan's little boy , which the lat
ter repaid lit kind. The girls then ran to
their mamma and told her the boy was
calling them names. She told them to go
otter him and even follow him Into the
house , if necessary , Mrs. Corrlgan eaya that
she told her little txiy that eho would ekln
him alive if ho did not come into the house
and behave himself. This , Mm. Corrlgan
liellevcd , showed that she tried at all times
to be a lady.
Meanwhile the Sherman girls took burn
ing brands from tbo bonfire and tried to
poke them through the screen door into the
Corrigau house , Mrs. Corrlgan took some
water and throw it on tbo stops where the
pro fell. But Mrs. Sherman mistook this
for a demonstration In force ngalnst her
young hopefuls and BO eho made a counter
demonstration with A Hat iron , at the same
tlmo threatening to brain MM , Corrlgan nnd
calling her names. For the latter Mrs. Cor
rlgan saldi with withering sarcasm , "Thank
you. " But Mrs. Sherman did not wither
worth a cent and gathering n few vitrified
dornlcks In her arms , she opened flro on her
enemy's castle , ju t to get the range. The
mlsfllcs went through tbo screen door and
windows.
Elated flt the sticcrti of her genuine
American Artillery fire , Mrs. Sherman began
telling what she would do next. She prom
ised to "lay" for Mrs. Corrigin In the back
yard nnd "git her yet. " Mrs. Oorrlgan had
a few samples of choice sarcasm left and
replied thnt she preferred to be killed in
the front yard. Then she gathered a brick
or two from the Inside of her home as mute
evidences of the peril she TVOH In and ran
out to got a policeman.
.Mrs , Sherman claims that Mrs. Corrlgan
gave her boy a monkey wrench with which
to spoil the looks of the girls for all time ,
but his mother says ihal he was merely
monkeying with it. At any rate the fight
is out of court for a time ,
POLICEMAN INDA'S ' RECORD
Hnlil to llnvc Violent Temper nml HUM
Tivlcu llccii I'ciinllxeil for Uii-
liccomltiK Conduct.
The killing of Jim Smith , the colored man ,
by Officer Inda last Sunday morning In the
city Jail , has given rise to many charges
of cruelty by persons who knew of Inda's
methods of making arrests. People who are
in a position to know state that Inda has a
violent temper , and that ho frequently lias
used unnecessary force when placing men
under arrest and taklnz them to Jail.
Officer Inda's record shows that he has
twice bean penalized for conduct unbecom
ing n policeman. It Is as follows :
Anton Inda was appointed to the position
of patrolman April 6 , 1896 , by the Board of
Flro and Police Commissioners In office dur
ing the regime of Mayor Broatch. He has
served continuously until the present date.
During Inda's period of service he has
been twice penalized for conduct unbecoming
an officer. September 20 , 1897 , charges were
filed against him alleging the unlawfur ar-
reet of William J. Galbralth. Jr. , a 14-year-
old lad. The board found Inda guilty nnd
suspended him for thirty days without pay.
June 27 , 188S , Inda was charged with hav
ing left his beat and spending considerable
time carousing with another officer on duty.
For this offense ho was fined five days' pay.
During his service Inda has had five vaca
tions , varying in time from five to thirty
days ,
Dr. Knlpli's Stntemciict.
Speaklnc of the demise of Smith , Dr.
Ralph said that bo would not give an opinion
as to the causa of the death. He was at the
station a few minutes after the man passed
away and ordered the remains taken to
the coroner's office whqro the post mortem
examination was held. The doctor says that
in his Judgment it would have been impos
sible to have indicted the wound with an
ordinary crobe , as the Instrument would
have had to pass through bones which could
not have been penetrated without using
force.
Dr. Ralph expresses the opinion that it
would have been posslbla for Smith to have
been stabbed In the lace some tlmo prior to
hla arrest. This could have occurred and
the wound mlcht have closed up. Then
when broucht to the station the blow in
flicted .by . Inda might have opened the wound
and started the flow of blood , producing al
most Instant death. The wound in Smith's
nose. Dr. Ralph says , was visible when the
body was at the police station.
SHOT IN THE LEFT HAND
Tony Powell Encounters Two Ilnr-
Klarm nt nn Early- Hour
Thin MorninK.
Tony Po > well , an Italian fruit vender liv
ing at 312 North Tenth street , had a most
exciting experience yesterday morning about
2 o'clock , and came out of the encounter with
a bullet hole in his loft hand.
Ho 'was asleep on his front porch when
G. D. Porter , who lives on the second floor ,
called out of the window that be thought
there was some ono in the house who did
not belong thero. Powell Jumped up and
went Into the house and discovered two
men hiding behind the door. He grappled
with one of them and the other ono cried
out , "Kill him , shoot him , kill him , " and
with that a shot * was fired and Powell re
ceived the bullet In his hand.
Ho wrested the gun away from the man
ho had his hold on and then both men ran
out of the door and got away.
An examination of the house revealed the
fact that ono of the men had lef ! his shoes
behind him , he evidently having removed
them so that ho would not make any noise
as bo walked across the floor.
Porter and hla wife came home just a
short time before -tho shooting took place.
After they bad gene Upstairs Mrs. Porter
told her husband that she was sure there
was eomo ono behind the door -when they
came in. Porter went to the window and
called to Powell , who went inside with the
above result.
Officer Cunningham heard the shot and
going to the scene brought Powell to the
police station. Dr. Ralph was sent for and
dressed the wound.
Powell is the man who was robbed of $145
and a gold watch a chain not moro than two
weeks ago.

SCOTT BECOMES AN ISSUE
His Candidacy Prorokes a Lively Muse in
the Democratic Primaries.
GENERAL SENTIMENT IS AGAINST KIM
UfTort of tlic FniinliiR-MoInc Comlilnn-
tlon to Itcwnril Scott Arouse *
tlic VlKornit * Opposition
of the Voters ,
The democratic primaries to select dele
gates to the convention that will meet at
Odthoff's hall Monday to select delegates to
the state nnd Judicial conventions will beheld
held In Douglas county from noon to 7
o'clock Thursday , nnd , although several
prospective contests were adjusted at the
eleventh hour , there will bo a lively mix-up
In the Second and Seventh wards. The can
didacy of C. R. Scott Is alleged to bo at the
bottom of the trouble and a movement on
the part of a few leaders to put Scott on
the Judicial ticket has aroused an opposition
that promises to make things interesting
before the convention Is over.
The element that la opposed to recognizing
Scott In nny manner is somewhat puzzled
over his late announcement that ho win not
accept the democratic nomination , but the
general belief Is that this Is merely a blind
to throw the opposition off its guard and
permit matters to bo arranged for making
Scott in the convention. During the last
few weeks n combination , of which Charley
Panning , Walter Molso , Harry C. Miller and
William Hayden are the maln'pluggcrs , Is
said to have been quietly working with a
view to securing n representation in the con
vention that would bo favorable to Scott. It
was largely a still hunt , the apparent purpose -
pose being to get things fixed without rous
ing the suspicions of the opposition , but it
leaked out that the combination proposed < to
put up Scott delegations In at least the Fifth ,
Seventh and Eighth wards. During tbo last
few days the opposition to the candi
date of the gang assumed tre
mendous proportions , and It became
evident that ho could not win out at the
primaries. Then came the formal announce
ment that ho was not a candidate at the
primaries and when the delegations wcro
flled with Secretary W. H. Gunsolas of the
county central committee at noon yesterday
there was only ono contest that suggested
the manipulation of the Scott steering com
mittee. This was in the Seventh ward ,
where ( Fanning has put up a contesting
delegation. The fight in the Second ward
is the eamo old struggle for supremacy be
tween rival factions that has 'been in ovl-
denco at nearly overv nrlmarv that has been
hold in the ward In recent years and both
delegations are alleged to bo opposed to
Scott.
Worked n Xew Gninc.
In harmony with the now policy adopted
toy the combination the fight In the other
wards has been declared off , and in agreeing
on compromise delegations the gang has suc
ceeded in getting a number of its men on
the uncontested delegations. This is taken
by the antl-Soott democrats to indicate that
it is now proposed to transfer the fight to
the convention , hoping that enough Scott
sympathizers can be boosted on the various
delegations to make a demonstration. No
sort of dependence Is placed on Scott's proc
lamation that ( is Is not a. candidate , as this
la manifestly so worded as to leave a loop
hole by means of which Scott can accept an
endorsement if his supporters should suc
ceed in securing control of the convention.
Among the democratic candidates who arc
suggested for places on the Judicial ticket
are Carl C. Wright , George W. Doano , Frank
Weaver , E. C. Page , A. N. Ferguson , George
W. Cooper nnd William 0. Gilbert. George
A. Magncy and Martin Langdon are tbo
principal populist icandidatcs who are being
considered and James W. Carr seeks recog
nition from a ellver republican standpoint.
While the democratic leaders declare that
the etate campaign will bo the most impor
tant of any off-year campaign in recent
years , there is decidedly leea Interest ap
parent in the candidate for supreme Judge
than is manifested in the local Judicial con
troversy. There Is a strong opposition to
Holcomb , but It has not settled on a candi
date. Senator Allen was boosted for
a time , but ho has written a
number of letters to local democrats in
which ha declares that he will not accept
the nomination under any circumstances.
Judge Neville has some supporters in Doug
las county and others are talking of Judge
W. G. Hastings of Saline county , who Is
now corvine on the bench of that district.
Judge Hastincs is a 'brother ' of ex-Attorney
General George H. Hastings , and Is a sort of
rarity in political faith as ho enjoys the
distinction of being one of the few gold
standard populists In Nebraska.

SCHURIG REPLIES TO JURY
Cltjnicctrlclnn Knlls to roi
How He Cnn He Accused of
Criminal Carelessness.
OMAHA , Aug. 15. To the Editor of The
Bee : Under the verdict rendered by the
coroner's jury at the Inquest of the Mercer
fire victims I am accused of criminal care
lessness for not cutting the wires through
which the truck ladder woe hoisted. For
my own Justification I wish to make the fol
lowing statement :
That there Is no law or ordinance which
directs mo to attend fires ; that I have no
means of knowing whether there Is n fire
or its location ; that , as was clearly proven
by the testimony , I have no means of cut
ting such wires when there , nor Is It made
my duty to personally remove them.
It was further proven by the testimony
that I advised not to ralso the ladder be
tween the wlros ; that I cautioned the men
not to touch any of them ; that no linemen
reported until the fire was nearly out , and
that then the ladder .was placed and men
working thereon , and that It was Impossible
for mo alone to remove thcso wires.
With these facts placed clearly before the
Jury , It Is beyond my comprehension how I
can bo accused of criminal carelessness.

USED THE GONG TOO FREELY
Street llnllwny Company Suoil for
DninnGTCH llecntmc n Motoriintn
Senrccl n Horse.
Most of the damage suits flled against the
local street railway company allege that if
the aiotorman had rung his gong the acci
dent would never have occurred. A novelty
has now been inscribed on the dockets in
the form of a petition that claims $5,000
damages 'because ' the motorman did ring the
gong.
The plaintiff Is William B. Desldn who al
leges that In June , 1S06 , a young horse , at
tached to a two wheeled ibreaklng cart , was
left hitched at the curb at Twenty-fourth
nnd Grant streets. He says the horse took
fright at a passing street car , and started
to run south on Twenty-fourth street. This
was considered a coed Joke by the motor-
man who raced down the street after the
horse ringing his eong and otherwise as
sisting to scare the animal into fits.
Dcskln. asserts that this was responsible
for the fact that the runaway smashed into
him nt Franklin street nnd threw him from
his buggy with a broken collar bone and ,
other Injuries.

complaints In county court ngalnst the Indl

graduation from a reputable medical college
These complaints are said to bo prcllmlnar

performances on Sunday.
Disrobing scenes upon the stage unless
handled with the utmost tact nnd discretion
on the part o the artists that do them
are bound to bo offending to some in the
audience. The slightest mistake will make
them savor of vulgarity. But when handler
in the delicate and artistic manner that
Elolse Mortimer does her retiring ecene in
the second act of "Pra Dlavoro , " Auber'n
beautiful romantic opera which is being
eung at the Trocadero this week , no one
can take offense. Miss Mortimer charm
ingly avoids even the slightest move that
would make the scene appear vulgar nnd
imparts to the character she represents a
semblance of sympathetic Innocence not
often exhibited in this class of scenes. There
are any number of other beautiful scones
in this popular opera , the music of which
everyone knows Is delightful and charming
and they nro worked out In such perfect
detail as to gain unlimited praise for the
company stage director and everybody that
has anything to do with the making of
them. The matinee this afternoon Is given
specially for ladles and children and every
preparation has been made for their com
fort and entertainment.
