MAYOR MAY BE IMPEACHED
Anti-3mblinp: Mora Taking . Serious Turn

REFORMERS ARE MOVING IN EARNEST
Do .ol Propone to I'IrIi t .tlir (iiuiililcrx,
but I ii I ii (I tn Compel the City
Authorities to Do Their
Duly.
Tho reform committee, which at tho meet
Ing of tho city council' Monday night do
manded that Mayor Jennings enforce tho
law nnd order tho gambling houses to be
closed, will not in Its campaign for tho im
provement of tho moral atmosphere of tho
city proceed directly against tho gambling
houses, but has decided to mako tho mayor
Its special target. This much wna ad
mlttcd by Attorney McCabe yesterday, who,
with Judge McOcc, represents tho legal end
of tho reform committee. Said ho: "It
makes no difference to this committee
whether tho gambling rooms of tho city
closo of their own accord. What wo de
mand is that tho mayor as chief cxocutUo
olllcer of tho city enforce the law and is
suo nn order to his subordinates that these
places bo closed and kept closed. Wcln
slst that tho mayor shall perform tho du
ties which ho had swornto do when taking
his oath of olllce to perform. With tho
gambling houses directly we have nothing
to do. Wo nro not olllcers of tho law. Wo
pay taxes for tho support of city officers,
whoso duty It Is to eaforco the laws. Thero
la no reason why wo, as members of this
committee, should bo required to proceed
directly against tho gambling houses. It
Is tho mayor's plain nnd evident duty to
suppress them and should ho still fall to
do so, nfter tho notice wo havo served
on hint, ho will havo to faco Impeachment
proceedings, which will bo commenced
without further delay."
Asked what tho exact naturo of tho pro
ceedings would bo that tho committee In
tended taking against tho mayor In caso
of his refusal to glvo n promlso that tho
gambling houses would bo closed. Attorney
McCabo referred tho questioner to certain
sections of the Iowa code, which, ho said,
plainly gave tho situation In a nutshell.
Tho first section referred to by tho reform
attorney Is 702, which provides that city
oillclals can llccnso billiard tables, etc.,
nnd gives them the nuthorlty to suppress
gambling and destroy all gambling devices
found In operation.
Tho other sections nro 1251 and 1258, nnd
It la under these that tho reform commlt-
teo had decided If necessary to proceed
ngnlnst tho mayor. Theso sections provldo
that all county, township, city or town olll
cers, elected or nppolnted, may bo removed
from ofilco upon chnrges mudo In writing
and trial thereunder for nine causes, which
aro given In detail, Tho committee asserts
that Mayor Jennings can be proceeded
against under thrco of these causes, namely
willful misconduct or maladministration In
ofllce, for habitual neglect of duty, nnd for
corruption.
These sections provldo that any person
may flic a complaint and tho bearing shall
bo had In the district court. Further that
tho court may on tho filing of the charges
temporarily suspend tho accused officer. In
caso tho accused officer is found guilty
of the charges preferred tho court must
remove him from tho office he holds and the
city council then has tho power to nppolnt
a person temporarily to fill such office thus
vacated.
.Mil ell Coiiniillntlon Before Action,
Tho committee was much In evidence dur
ing the afternoon and a number cf confer
ences was held. Judgo McGco was selected
to wait upon tho mnyor nnd notify him that
If tho committeo hnd not his ussuranco by
6 o'clock that evening proceedings would
at onco bo commenced. In turn the mayor
held several conferences with the other city
officials, but nothing could bo agreed upon.
Somo of tho aldermen wero in favor cf or
dering tho gambling houses closed at once,
whllo others stood out for pursuing tho
policy heretofore adopted and permitting
tho gambling rooms to run under certain
regulations.
When C o'clock camo nnd no assurance
from tho mnyor, tho commlttrci cleared lis
docks and prepared for action and tho press
was notified that It would lesuo an "official"
propaganda beforo 10 o'clock,
Tho threats of the committee did tho work,
however, and Mayor Jennings, after be had
supper, decided that he had no particular
dtslre to figure In Impeachment proceed
ings, so ho hauled down his colors and no
tilled Judge McOeo that ho would issue or
ders closing tho gambling resorts perm
anently. This satisfied tho committeo nnd
the membors who hnd gathered, preparatory
to going Into action In Attorney McCabe's
office, buttoned up their rubber coats, un
folded their umbrellas and made their way
to their respective homen through tho rain.

The plaintiff In tho personal Injury dam

tho Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and

asking for an order of court requiring tho
defendant company to produce all vouchers

Mrs. Holman secured a verdict In the dis
trict court here against the motor com
pany for JS.000 for injuries received In an
accident. Tho caso was appealed and sent
back by tho supremo court for retrial. Tho
motor company contended that the action
was barred by tho statute of limitations,
but Mm. Holman claimed that who had de
ferred bringing action as Manager Dim
mock had promised to settle with her out
of court. Counsel for the motor company
claimed that Mannger Dlmmock had no au
thority to settle clnima for damages and
tho plaintiff now hopes to prove that ho had.

Tho mandamus caso of W. E. Haverstoclt
against Oeorge S. Davis, Involving tho cus
tody of the funds of tho school district, wns
Anally submitted before Judge Smith In
tho district court yesterday and by him
taken under advisement. Secretary Hofs of
tho school "board wuh placed on tho stand
by tho plaintiff to explain how It was that
tho warrant for teachers' salaries wns
drawn on Davis, nfter Haverstock had been
declared elected treasurer of tho district.
From Ho?s' testimony it developed that
on March 30, tho teachers having been paid
ns usual by tho First, National bank, tho
warrant drawn on Davis, ho having tho
funda in his possession, nnd the vouchers
were turned Into tho bank as had hereto
fore been tho custom. This was done by
Secretary Ucas on
his own responsibility
nnd not by any orders of tho board. Davis
contended ' that tho fact that the warrant !
had been drawn on him, after the board
had declared Haverstock elected, showed i
thnt tho board recognized him ns treasurer
of tho district.
It was thought by both sides thnt no
decision would bo handed down In this case

RICKER AND MORRIS SPRING A SENSATION
Two of the Delegates Appointed to
the National Convention Turn Out
to lie .Socialist" mill it 111k
Himv la I'rolinble.
DES MOINKS, April 21. (Spoclal Tele
gram.) There Is likely to bo further dls
integatlon of tho people's party in Iowa. At
tho state convention held hero today a
strong social element was developed and
tho untl-fuslonlsts will probably have to
fueo tho further fusion of their members
with a party of which Eugene V. Dobs Is
tho leader the social democrats. Tho
spirit of socialism present at tho convention
was sorely distressing to Chairman A. V.
C. Weeks nnd somo of the) other leaders
of tho party, and boforo adjournment tho
dissension nearly made nn Irrevocable spilt.
Tho trouble arose over the announcctnont
by A. W. Hlckcr of I.one Tree, after he had
been elected as a delegate to the national
convention, to be held at Cincinnati, that
he was going to work for tho nomination
of Debs and that bo endorsed tho socialistic
doctrines. Ii. M. Morris, another delegate,
followed Illckcr's example and Chairman
Wellcr of the convention placed It upon tho
honor of tho gentlemen to cither resign their
new tenets or withdraw from the dclcgn
Hon. Both say that they will not resign
nnd the Iowa delegation to tho national con
vantlon of tho middle-of-the-road populists
will likely stir up a big row over tho mat
ter. With Messrs. Rlckcr and Morris on
tho national committee it seems ns though
tho control of tho party orgnnlzntlon In Iowa
has passed Into the hands of tho socialists.
Deplore Present Wura.
Tho only resolution passed by tho con
vention wns as follows:

Governor Shaw today ordered all tho com
missions of volunteer officers who served
In tho Spanl6h-Atncrlcan war recalled by
tho adjutant general and commissions on

tion hns been taken because tho governor
believed all the Spanish-American soldiers
would enloy keeping a memento of this
kind. Thero nro about 200 such commls

Judgo Sllvnra of tho pollco court is in
favor of shooting down persons who hnve
been quarantined on account of smallpox
nnd attempt to escape. Tho pollco force is
considerably worked up over the cscapo of
two persons who wero quarantined with
smallpox and others who wero being kept
In confinement because of exposure to the
contaclon. Henry Scott, who has been ill
with smallpox at his home for several days
broke away from tho health officer who at
tempted to tako him Into custody last even

I.nst night onn of tho fourteen patients con
fined In tho contagion hospital at the foot
of Thirteenth street eluded the officers and

The body of David Henry Robinson was
found this afternoon in tho Savcry houso
barn. He had evidently committed eulcid
by taking poison, and from evidences pre
medltnted tho net. A note was found on his
person ns follows: "To Whom It Mny Con
cent. That If nt any tlmo I am found dead
It Is my fault and no one olses, If It I
from nny drug, ns I am tired of living.'
Crystallized carbolic ncld was found spat
tcrcd nil over tho note. Ho was single au
aged 50.
Rev. Dr. Eaton, pastor of tho First Motho
