MlNNluii of Hie CiiniiiilUt'e.
The tesslon yesterday morning was the
first hold by the committee which was ap
pointed nn .lanuary 1 to Investigate any
charges of "bribery , corruption or undue In
fluence" which might be brought before It. I
The commlttoe , appointed by President Bur
gess , Is Inado up of Members Bnmard ,
chairman ; Johnson , bccretnry , and Smith.
Us principal concern In with the contracts ,
relative to Venetian blinds nnd blackboards
for 'the ' three now school buildings , and
with the employment of John McDonald ns
ofllcial architect. The Inquiry was conducted
by Attorney C. C. Wright.
Mr. Cowlo was llrst Interrogated as to his
connection with the McDonald contract nnd
bond. He tald that bo had made every
honorable effort to secure the appointment
of John McDonald as olllclal architect , both
ibocauso of personal friendship and becauto
he considered him a competent person.
"I had conversation" ? with every member
cf the board on the subject. * said Mr. Cowic ,
"nnd there was no doubt as to my position
In the matter. The appointment not
carry with It any direct rcmunciation , but
only 0 per cent of such contracts na might
be undertaken for now buildings.
"Did McDonnld offer $400 or any other
amount for your Inlluccice ? " asked Mr.
Wright.
" No such proposal was over broached , "
answered the witness.
"Did Architect Lntenser ever have any
conversation with you regarding his own
candidacy for the appointment ? " Inquired
the attorney.
"Mr. Lateiiser called at my office four
times with reference to the matter , " said
Cowlo , "and on the first occasion I ex
plained my position as a friend of SIcDonald.
"Did he over offer you any consideration ? "
"I don't remember that he ever did. "
K < * ontrml I.cioUcil Into.
The Inquiry then proceeded to the heatIng -
Ing contract for the Saunders school. Mr.
Cowlo said that several of his committee had
pone to Kansas City to Inspect the High
school heating plant there , but he did not
Jtnow that they had been furnished with
transportation by the American Warming
nnd Ventilating company.
The committee then considered the our-
chase of blinds for the three now buildings ,
and a scene of excitement ensued. Mr.
Cowle first described the method which had
lioon employed In placing the order , The
matter' had been referred to the commute *
on buildings and property on December t ,
following Information by Superintendent ot
Dulldlngs Danker that the windows should
1)0 provided with shades. No bids had been
advertised for , said Mr. Cowle , as his com-
inlttco had no such nuthorlty. Ho haA
looked Into the matter to some extent , however
over , and obtained two quotations , one of 23
cents per square foot and ono of 15 cents.
On Inquiry of Banker and Superintendent
Lntcnscr , Conic was Informed that the lul
ter price was exceedingly low. On that
ground alone , he said , ho advocated mak
ing the purchase of Dodge & Co. , of Chicago ,
agents for the Wilson blinds , and the ordeh
was accordingly placed ,
"Did Dodge & ' Co. quote you a private
jirico of 0 cents per foot , " was naked.
"No , they did not , " said Cowle.
"Did you go to Chicago with reference to
the purchase , " asked Aright. .
"I had other business there , " said Cowle ,
"and wrote Dodge & Co. that I should be
Kind to call and examine their goods. "
"Did you communicate with the company
further on the subject ? " asked the attorney.
"I may have done so , " answered Cowle.
Co UTi'luuriiin u m-ml.
"Did you scud them the following telc-
Kiam ? " said Wright , reading the words with
visible excitement , " 'Your letter received.
Looks good. Do you want mo come to
Chicago , tonight ? Answer quick. ' "
"I may have sent u message of that sort.
My purpose was to ascertain whether they
would furnish mo with transportation , Just
os I might huve applied to anybody else. "
"Did they solid you in return the follow
ing telegram , " asked Wright , " Trice
quoted , rock bottom , no money allowed for
expenses. Como If you like ? ' "
"I have no recollection of such n mes
sage , " replied the wltnetH.
The BUbJcct of blackboards was then re
ferred to nnd the prosecution endeavored
to connect Cowlo with
the transaction In an
Unfavorable light. Mr. Wright naked
whether the witness was not on excellent
terms with Iluckmlnstcr & Co. , the suc
cessful bidders. Ho replied that ho knew
Huckmlnstcr nnd entertained a friendly feel
ing for him.
Coil vor nil tlo n with IlnoUniliiRlcr ,
Mr. Cowlo was asked to detail his movo-
nmntB on New Year's night after the board
meeting at which the investigating com
mittee. had been appointed. Ho related
that ho had met Iluckminster on the night
In question and had walked with him from
Sixteenth and Fnrnam streets to Thirteenth ,
v > hero Iluckmlnstcr left him to return to
his hotel. ncgardlng the conversation
which passed Cowlo said It touched upon
the proposed Investigation , Huckmlnster ex
pressing his pleasure that there was noth
ing In bin cose to Investigate.
"Did you make nn appointment to meet
him In the rear room of a tialoon and pro
ceed to the rendezvous by different routes ? "
neked Wright.
"No , sir , we did not , " replied Cowle.
"Did you cuter n telegraph office and fllo
n message regarding the proposed Investi
gation ? " continued the attorney.
MI decline to answer that question , " said
Cowio ; "that IB my private business. "
AVHiirB * llt-i'llnvu to .Viin i > r.
Several other questions were asked along
thu same line and the witness refused to
msut'r on , . . ; ground that such matters
were not the concern of the committee. At
torney Hansom then Itvterposed , protesting
against the line of questioning. A spirited
passage occuircd between 'the attorneys ,
during which the witness left the chair
Hansom said that he would instruct bis cli
ent not to mibtnlt to further ] > crsecutlon
and Chairman Harnard called Cowlo ba k
to Inquire whether ho would bo present at
the afternoon session on the demand of the
committee. Cowle , however , refused to resume -
sumo his eeat nnd left the room In com *
imny with his attorney. ,
CUM l < * llpfitNpi , lo Api > pni' .
When the commltteo convened nt 2 p. m.
a statement was made by Jeffries and Han-
Bom. , representing A. M. Cowle. Cowle's
legal advisers explained that Inasmuch is
no charges had been filed against their client
they had advised him not to appear at any
further sessions of the committee. Chairman
Barnard sal 1 In reply that the committee
had no power to fllo charges , that Us duty
consisted simply In the Investigation of
Mich matters as might bo brought to ita
attention. Attorney Wright , acting for the
committee , will make no effort to force the
witness to npptnr. He says that If Mr.
Cowlo wishes to place hluuelf In the atti
tude of hiv I u i ; something to conceal that ho
will allow him that option.
The afternoon WHS occupied with the tes
timony of Secretary Olllan of the Hoard ot
education. Mr. Olllan read the proceedings
of the board rolntho to the letting of the
contracts under consideration. The history
of the McDonald bond and contract was also
related , and the mass of routine evidence
was transcribed on the record. Mr. Olllnii
nl = o threw light on a number of questions
of fact relative to the solicitation of bids
for blackboards and other material.
The committee adjourned until this morn
ing at ! > :30 : o'clock In order that witnesses
from out of the city may ho secured.

In 18S9 Judge Groff was appointed by

Mr. Fred I'affenrath , manager for Nlcoll
The Tailor , who has been contemplating
moving to St. Louis has , concluded to re
main In Omaha. Mr. I'affenrath was offered
the general management of the Nlcoll The
Tailor establishments , with headquarters nt
St. Louis , and recently made u. trip to that
point to look over the prospective situation ,
hut after mature deliberation , decided to re
main In Omaha.
"Yes , " said Mr. I'affenrath , "I have Just
returned from St. Louis and I believe Omaha
Is good enough for mo at present. " "The
St. Louts pioposltion was , indeed , a tempt
ing one from a financial standpoint so much
so In fact that It required several weeks'
careful deliberation to decide the question ,
but I think that my decision to remain here
will prove a wise one , for I frankly believe
that Omaha Is now on the eve of the most
prosperous times that we have known , and
I , therefore , prefer to remain with the estab
lishment that I opened here fourteen years
ago. " I hope to see the headquarters of
Nlcoll's imany establishments located In
Omaha before many years. U Is my Inten
tion to enlarge this branch and to handle
the sub-branches ol Wyoming nnd the Dakotas -
kotas from this end. That will make the
Omaha branch a manufacturing point for a
half dozen branches and means employment
