' CORDON FAILS TO MAKE GOOD
testimony that Was to Vindicate Him is
Gornpiououaly Wanting,
I ADMITS HE SUSPENDED SENTENCES
Xrtrrnn I'ollcrtuaii Trslltlen to the
J.ciilenr- with Which thr
. Former .In ilno Treated
t'rlnilnnln.
Tho attorneys (or 8. 1. (Jordon in tho pro
ceedings Instituted before Judge Dickinson
to Impoach him as pollco magistrate failed
to mako an much of tht'lr cusc tin they had
led tho public to bcllcvo they would do when
It eamo to tho turn of tho defense to produce
testimony. Yesterday was the second day
tho former police JudKo has hail his Innings,
but no dcctalvo evidence In tho way of re
futing the allegations of Incompetency was
forthcoming, although Judge Cordon himself
was on tho witness stand most of tho morn
ing. Tho defense confined Itself to entering
a general, denial and furnishing as much
pcclflc proof in particular Instances as two
witnesses with defective memories could re
rail. Thu attorneys conducting the prosecu
tion profess a desire to get at the cross
examination, believing they will mako short
work of destroying the value of tho facts
brought to light by their opponents at tho
morning session.
Tn many Instances Judgo Gordon admitted
that ho had suspended Leniences and re
leased men from Jail, explaining that this
was done only In cases that seemed to him
deserving. Tim city attorney said that
' Everything brought to light along this lino
v 111 bo In favor of those who Instituted tho
charges, as the principal allegation Is that
Judge (lordnn nlloued hluiRelr to be Influ
enced to such nn extunt that lawbreakers
went unpunished and tho city lost money
through n wholesale remission of fines. The
prosecution expects to prove that In a good I
many Instances Judge Gordon was Imposed
upon and that It Is this tendency to permit
. Imposition, together with his excessive lenl
"ncy, that disqualifies htm from holding tho
bdlco of police magistrate.
Ofllcer llnn' Trt Ilium; .
Dennis Ryan, tho veteran policeman, wns
the first witness to tell of Judge Gordon's
nxecutlvo shortcomings. Tho cases under
consideration wcro those of l.eua Wallace
nnd Carry Heed, charged with disturbing
the peace. Ilyan informed tho court that
this pair had been arrested by thu police
seven times and that the police court Judju
never missed nn opportunity to dlschargo
thom on every appearance. Twice the blue
coats took theso worn." into custody on n
capias. It wns attempted to show that
tho police were hounding tho women and
that Judge flordon wns simply acting In the
capacity of Judicial defender, but the wit
ness Insisted that tho olllcers were only
trying to drive offenders of this Htamp out
tif the city and the leniency of the judge
i'uabled them to stay.
Tho witness told ut length of tho judgo's
methods of continuing eases until those
conducting the prosecution were tired out.
lie testified that he was personally con
nected with many cases of this kind on
more than ono occuslon having been prose
ruling witness nnd compelled to appear In
yollco court so many Inconvenient times
owing to continuances that ho ended by
neglecting to ujpenr at the court at all and
tho cases wero dismissed. When Ilyan was
telling of tho numerous Instances when
rnscs wero dismissed for want of prosocu
tlon tho attorney conducting the cross-ox-itmlnatlon
attempted to show by diligent
(mentioning that tho officers were not as
'familiar with the routlno of the court us
Ithey desired the court to believe them.
"Speaking of these cases dismissed for
T,anl of prosecution," said the examiner,
"how do you know that they were not
marked off the calendar nt tho request of
the complainant, and not through any
leniency of tho magistrate? You weren't
there at the time."
"No," wuh the reply, "hut I know Just
Ihe same."
"And the Judge didn't tell you?"
"No, ho didn't need to."
"Well, you say you know; now tell tho
ic.urt how you know."
"That's easy," said Ilyan, turning to
Iho court, "I was complainant, myself."
Mujnr .tllller for Defense.
Major Miller, who waa city prosecutor
during tho grcator part of Judge dordon's
Incumbency of tho olllco of police Judge,
testified for tho defense rcgartdlng the
tuspenslona of sentence and the remissions
of fines. He was given n bundle of com
plaints bearing records showing that the
men named In them wero released from
NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Krrry Sufferer from Cntnrrh Knnw
that Salves, I.oHiiiin, WiinIipn,
.Sprii au! Duutilim l not
Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, spruys and in
halors cunnoi really cure Catarrh, bocaube
tills UlaeHKo Is n blood disease, nnd local
applications, if they accomplish anything at
nil, simply give transient relief.
The catarrhal poison Is in tho blood and
tho mucous membrane of the nose, throat
and trachea tries to relieve the syt-tem by
secreting large quantities of mucous, tho
dlschargo sometimes closing up the nos
trils, dropping luto the throat, causing deaf
ness by cloning tho Knstnchlan tubes, nnd
after u time causing catarrh of stomach or
serious throat and long troubles.
A remedy to really euro catarrh must bo
an Internal remedy which will dense tho
blood from catarrhnl poison and remove
tho fever and cougeitlon from the mucous
membrane.
The best and most modem remedies for
this purpose are antiseptics scientifically
known as Kuralyptol, Gunlacol, SntiKUlunrla
and Hydrastln, and whllo each of theso
havo been successfully used separately, yet
It has been difficult to get them all com
bined In one palatable, convenient and cfu
ciont form.
The manufacturers of tho new catarrh
euro, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have suc
ceeded admirably In accomplishing this re
sult. They arc large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, to be dissolved in tho mouth, thus
' reaching every part of tho mucous mem
brane of tho throat and finally the stomach.
Unllku many catnrrh remedies, Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets cnntuln no cocaine, opiate
lr any Injurious drug whntuver and nro
equally beneficial for llttlo children and
adults.
Mr. C. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N. Y.,
pays: "I know of few people who have
suffered hs much as I from catarrh of the
hend, throat and stomach. I used sprays,
Inhalers pnd powders for months at a tlmo
with only slight relief nnd had no hopo of
cure. I had not the means to' make a
chango of ollmute, which seemed my only
chauco of cure.
Last spring I rend nu account of some
remarkablo cures made by Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and promptly bought a fifty-cent
fcox from my druggist mid obtained such
rosltlve bcuetlt from that one package that
I continued tu use thern dally until I now
ronelder myself entirely free from tno uis
lusting annoyance of catarrh; my head Is
clear, my digestion all I rould ask and my
hearing which had begun to fail as n result
of tho catarrh, Has greatly Improved until
I feel I can hear as well as ever. They
are a household necessity In my family,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets arc sold by dru
gists at 60 ceuts for complete treatment
and for convenience, safety and prompt
results they are undoubtedly the loos looked
. for) catarrh cure, s
Jail before the expiration of their
sentences, nnd In many Instances that the
fines had been remitted. From twenty
or more tho witness was able to find five
or six which he remembered specifically. He
said that In the ease of a rook at the Pax
ton hotel, arrested for stealing meat, tho
man was discharged at the request of the
hotel proprietor, absolving Judge Gordon
from blame. Thcro wns n complaint In the
case of a garbage hauler that the witness
cculd remember. He said that this cas
was dismissed because no policeman ap
peared to prosecute. There was another
Instance of a man who purloined a $10
suit of clothes. He was given his release
after arrest and sentence, because the
owner of the clothes explained that the
theft was tho result of a misunderstanding.
The rity prosecutor madn tho point that out
of the entire bundle of complaints these
trcntlonrd were tho only ones tho defense
dared to question tho witness about. The
others, he said, might redound to their dis
credit. Judge Gordon took the stand and told
how he nlloued Boveral cripples and hard
working men their liberty when he thought
they were deserving. The city attorney
hopes to show that all n prisoner had to
do when he wanted to get out of Jail was
to go to the Judge and toll him that ho
was n cripple or a hardworking man.

ants, whllo smaller nmounts were held by
the St. Paul bank and other persons who

The respondent, the Chicory company
filed a demurrer to the bill, alleging wnnt
of Jurisdiction for tho reason that tho citi
zenship of the parties to tho suit did not
permit It being brought In the United States
court. This demurrer was sustained, tho
Judgo holding that the citizenship of llevans
nnd Oldflcld was not sufficiently shown, nnd
further, that upon the pleadings It was dis
closed that certain of tho respondents nnd

OWER'S PART IN CONSPIRACY
Fuiion Sheriff Finally Tells Why Ho Kept
Out of Sight.
WAS DODGING SOUTH OMAHA HEELERS
Ilsperteil tn He Overrun It- MicrIc
City Dcmoornts Who Were
Anilon t Ho
Deputies,
What became of the warrants which the
fusion politicians pretended to have swotn
out for alleged false registration just
rrevtous to the last election? How many
of these warrants wero served7 What re
mits were produced by tho bombastic of
fers of rewards for evidence relating to
tho nlleged republican election frauds?
Sheriff Power gavo the whole snap away
when these questions wero propounded to
him, showing that the noise made by tho
pupocratlc machlno about threatened re
publican colonization and repeating wns
pure buncombe for the purpose of Intimi
dating voters, as charged nt tho time, and
also to enable the sheriff to swear In fusion
ward heelers with deputy commissions.
It will bo remembered that an Injunction
was Issued the day before election, restrain
ing the sheriff from Interfering with the
conduct of the election, and the writ placed
In the hands of tho coroner for service.
Hut the sheriff could not be found
"You remember It was said I was hiding
from tho coroner to avoid service of the
order ho hnd against mo the day before
election," declared Sheriff Power. "Well,
I was at Geneva, where I took u girl to
the reform school, and that Is why I could
not be found, 1 really did not havo to go
to Geneva ou thnt particular day, but 1
thought It a good time to get out and use
that as nu excuse. 1 had another reason,
too, nnd that was to keep out of tho
clutches of some of my democratic friends
In South Omaha. The boys down thero had
pafcbtd word along the line that 1 was going
to appoint several hundred donutlcB for
service there on election day, nnd that all
any democrat would havo to do would bo
to come up to mo to bo sworn In nnd re
celve $2,r,0 from the county for working
for tho party on election day. Down nt
Geneva, of course, they could not bother
me. Ileforn I left I appointed all the depu
ties 1 wnntcd, and these deputies never
cost the county or the sheriff's offlco ono
cent. They were volunteers, and on each
commission It was noted that they wcro to
servo without pay."
ThlB last admission of tho sheriff is tho
best evidence that tho sheriff's office was
simply turned over to tho democratic
machine.
Ilpellnrn tu fSlve Xante.
Sheriff Power has declined to give out the
names of the deputies he swore In, tho
reason, doubtless, being that they would
bo Identified as an unsavory lot of fusion
on-hnngers who wero commissioned Bolcly
for political purposes.
"How many warrants did I get?" con
Untied tho sheriff. "Oh. about thirty.
think I served four of them. There wcro
n lot of warrants I did not attempt to serve
for the reason I knew they had been Issued
under n misapprehension of fact. For ex
ample, hero Is one whero n person Is
charged with fnlso registration from 1021
Ohio street. This man Is n voter In the
ward and resides at 1624 Ohio. In writing
tho figures the clerk made the 6 look
like a cipher, and, as I believed there was
no Intent at fraud, I made no attempt to
arrest. As far as I know no one Illegally
registered voted or attempted to vote, nt
least none against whom any complaints
were Issued. Many of the cases were In
vestigated by my regular deputies and It
wns found that there were no grounds for
Issuing warrants and the men were per
mltted to vote without molestation."
Sheriff Power's explanation shows why, In
splto of nil tho noise made by tho ftislonlsts
about warrants for Illegal voters, not one
has been prosecuted Most of the nlleged war
rantB have been pigeonholed by tho sheriff
In his discretion, although It Is his sworn
duty to serve every warrant placed In his
hands.

nnd tell us they never see him. Well,
bo mo peoplo wouldn't see McKlnley If be
camo to Omaha and this Is probably why
you don't see our man. He says lu your
neighborhood there Is a terrible smell nf
coal gas and be thinks It comes from your
houso. Just think about It If ho can
smell It In tho street how unhealthy It
must be for you to sleep In that klud of a
room. Your furnace was probably sot tip
by an amateur, who used oil putty, and as
soon as tho oil burned out It left only
sand between the JolntB. You may dlo
any night If you smell that gas. We use
only asbestos It gets as hard as Iron and Is
gas-proof. Better seo us If your furnace
needs any repairs.
