JACKSONIANS RULE COMMITTEE MEETING
iflnrt of IloiiKlnn Count) Democracy
to Srrnre Increased lleprmentn
(Ion for South Omnlm Oriented
In (lie l''lm( Hotiud.
At a noUy moctlns of the democratic
county central committee, held yesterday
aflcrnoon at tho Jncksonliin clubrooms, the
data for tho tcounty nominating convention
wa set for September 14. Tho primaries
will be held on September 12, and the con
vention two days litter will not only nomi
nate .candidates for tho county offices, but
it will also select tho delegates to repre
sent Douglas county In tho democratic
state convention, to be held at Lincoln on
September 17.
Tho Jacksonlan element was In tho sad
dle at tho committee meeting and It went
roughshod over tho Douglas county democ
racy boys', although tho latter faction had.
a porsovoring and vehement, spokesman lu
tho person' of Louis J. l'lattl, The fight was
precipitated by a proposition from Mr.
l'lattl to Increase the representation of
South Omaha on the cumnlttteo by giving
It tbrco new members for each of tho two
now wards.
Tho packing house town was represented
nt tho meeting by six members, nil of
whom happened to havo been rcdlstrlcted
Into one ward, tho Second. Theso gentle
men, who also happen'od to be under the
magnetic swuy of tho Jacksonlan wing,
asked the privilege of retiring to a .side
room to fix up a recommendation as to
how the two new wards of their town
should And representation on the county
committee. This request was promptly
granted by Chairman Kd Howell, who evi
dently knew tho direction of tho wind.
After nn executive session of half an
hour tho ' South Omaha men roportcd a
recommendation that the representation of
their city on tha committee remain as
It la until tho convention, when a re
arrangement might be made. Hera Is whero
.Mr. l'lattl, whoso volco Is not as a gentle
7ophyr, Jumped Into tho arena with nn ar
gument 'hat was convincing, hut not ef
fetlvo. It was undemocratic, ho pleaded,
to deny equal representation on the com-
mlttoo to any ,ward or precinct In tho
county, and as South Omaha had two wards
sans committeemen, It would be but simple
Justice to recognize them.
Ignatius J, Dunn took up the cudgel In
behalf of tho Jacksonlans and Injectod u
little legal lore Into tho proceedings by
contending there were no vacancies on
tho committee and no authority was vested
Mn tho meeting to add to tho membership
of tho body. When new wards or new
precincts are created, he arguod, It made
no vacancies on the county committee, but
it merely mado new places to bo filled by
tho convention of the party. Mr. Dunn'a
tlno distinction between a vacancy and new
plnco was accepted by the meeting and
thus tho Douglas county boyB wcro downed
In tho first round of their tight for In
creased representation for South Omaha.
Later when it came to settling tho num
her of delegates In tho county convention
to be allowed to South Omaha, the Douglas
county men had nothing to say they wore
out of ammunition. A motion to allow
each ot tho six wards four delegates went
through with a, few dissenting votes. At
tho last convention South Omaha had seven
delegates from each of Its four wards, mak
ing JlS&rUy-eight In' nil. and nqw vlth six
wards Its toprescntatton Is out down to
twenty-four delegates.
I'nt Ford furnished the comedy of the
meeting by moving that the committee
recommend to the convention .that the
candidates for county commissioners who
havo tho majority of tho delegates from
their respective districts ho nominated.
"1 merely want to get the sentiment of
tho commlttoe," remarked tho Third ward
Hlatesman and ho got It. His motion was
tabled so quickly and so enthusiastically
that he forgot for tho moment that he
was In a democratic meeting.

A message was received from Lincoln
yesterday to tho effect that the session
laws of 1901 would be turned over to tho
secretary of state today. Councilman John
ston nt once 'phoned the secretary, asking
that a copy be sent htm. This will he
done and thus a certified copy of the new
South Omaha charter wfll be In the pos
session of the city officials not later than
Monday.
When It was learned In municipal cir
cles that the charter was about ready for
distribution a movement was at once set
on foot to havo tho charter printed In
pamphlet form. A great many people, It Is
stated, would like to havo a copy of the
charter and would be willing to pay for It.
There is going to be some objection to
this, however, on account of the expense
It Is estimated that the printing and bind
ing of a number of copies of tho charter
will cost not less than $S00.
In thla connection It hni been suggested
that tho existing ordinances bo rovlscd nnd
that tho ordinances and charter bo printed
In one book. Such n volume, It Is stated,
would bo of valuo to attorneys nnd city
officials, as well as to buyers of bonds and
others who deal In municipal paper.
Should this be dpno the expense will
rench not less thon $400, ns It will take
somo time to rovlso tho ordinances and an
experienced attorney will havo to, be em
ployed to make tho revision, along with n
commlttco ot the council. This matter will
In nil probability bo taken up and dls
cussed at tho council meeting Monday nlgbt.

Tax Commissioner J. J. Fitzgerald has
appointed Frank Durness deputy tax com
missioner and Mr. Burness is now located
In the city treasurer's ofllce, making up tho
delinquent tnx list. It Is understood that
Mr. Fitzgerald has been compelled to name
a deputy on account of 111 health. Ho re
cently spent several weeks In Colorado In
hopes of regaining his health, but since his
return he hns not been at all well and yes
terday was confined to hU home. Burness
Is competent to perform the duties of the
office, as ho Is familiar with the books
In tho treasurer's office, having been em
ployed as nn export accountant several
times to check up the city's books,
Tho question wob rnlsed yesterday by
an attorney ns to tho legality of tho 'ap
pointment of Burness, ns the chnrtcr docs
not provide for a deputy tax commissioner.
It Is thought, however, thnt as Fitzgerald
pays Burness himself the appointment will
not be contested.

Sanitary Inspector Jones spent yesterdny

This Is tho first grand Jury under the
recently enacted law In fact, grand Jurlca
In Douglas county havo almost been for
gotton. Under the present Nebraska law a grand
Jury Is drawn as follows:
First, tho Judgo presents to tho clerk ot
the district court an order authorizing a
grand Jury. Then the clerk or a deputy
goes to tho Jury box the receptacle In
which Is kept n long list of names supposed
to bo eligible for jury service. This box Is
equipped with tho wheel system. The clerk
turns tho wheel and pulls out slips to tho
number o"f twenty-three, on each of which
Is written ono name. The Judgo by whose
order the grand Jury Is called witnesses the
work ot tho clerk and mnkes n note of tho
names. From tho list of twenty-thrco six
teen JurorB are chosen the body consisting
of slxtcon citizens of the county. Tho law
contemplate? that out of twenty-threo
names there will usually be no difficulty In
securing tho service ot tho required six
teen. Preliminary to delivering tho official
charge to tho Jury tho Judge goes over tho
list of twenty-three, excuses such as may
present good reasons for exemption from
service, eliminates any who may bo ineligi
ble and finally whittles tho number down to
sixteen. Then the Jury Is charged In a
general way with tho duties beforo It and
tho next step is to rotlro for tho examina
tion of witnesses and deliberation ovor such
matters as may be Introduced.
In the present case It Is apparent at a
glance that nt least two exemptions must be
made, tor out of the Hat selected one Is
dead nnd nnothcr Is a woman. This Illus
trates tho blunders thnt may result from
the present practlco of taking names for
Jury service from the personal tax lists. A
woman taxpayer may be rocorded on the tnx
books simply by her Initials, as in the case
of "L. J. Finn," who proves to bo Mrs.
Lantlo J. Finn,
It has been several years slnco thero has
been a grnnd Jury In Douglas county and It
will be necessary for th.e superintendent of
the court building to arrange a room for tho
use of the grand Jury. One of tho basement
rooms, of which there are several, will be
cleared for tho purpose. Tho Jury will
probably be In session four or five weeks.
Record of (he Last Jury.
The last grand Jury holding session was
called b,y Judgo Scott" In 1895. It was a
grand Jury "with a purposo." In the mind of
the Judge, and because 1U failed to bring
bills, against ovoryone, against whom the
Judge, thought It sliouid Indict It received n
Judicial, but Injudicious "roast" which, in
the- opinion of ttr. members required an
answer. That answer is shown in Its re
port, signed by J. Babbitt, foreman, In
which the Judge Is cenBUred for his re
marks upon the action ,of the body. This
grand Jury found thirty-six bills, but Ave
of the persons Indicted were never appre
hended. Ot the thirty-one persons Indicted
who were presented for trial, two pleaded
guilty, nine were convlced, three found not
guilty, one Indictment was quashed, ono
man found Insane, while fifteen cases were
nolled by the prosecuting nttorney.
The grand Jury provlous to this was
called In 1892. It found forty-three Indict
ments, of which four were stricken from the
docket. Eight men were found not guilty,
seven pleaded guilty, one was released,
whilo "nollo prosequi" was entered by the
prosecuting attorney in twenty-ono cases
or more thnn CO per cent of tho Indictments.
The exact cost of a grand Jury to the
county cannot be ascertained. There la no
limit other than the will of tho body to Its
see'alon; the members are paid (2 per day
and witnesses receive tho same fee, which
Is also paid to the bailiffs nnd other officers
required. The feos ot tho sheriff for serv
ing process nre taxable to the cost of .the
jury, fixing $100 per day as a low esti
mate of the cost, or $3,000 for a thirty-day
terra. This amount being In addition to
the ordinary cost ot prosecuting tho same
cases under' tho system of suits based upon
Information filed by tho county -nttorney,
while the number of cases dismissed after
Indictment Is far In excess of the number
dismissed after information filed nnd tho
number of convictions Is much less under
tho former than the latter.

UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS
Mmnlliox Victim In Hurled In Forest
I.imtii Cemetery nt Mldnlicht hy
Ilonpltnl Superintendent.
It was a gruesome sceno thnt the owls
at Forest Lawn cemetery looked down upon
at midnight Thursday, when Superintendent
McCoy of the Emergency hospital und an
undertaker's assistant bore to its grave the
body of R. E. Freoman, who died from
smallpox. The superintendent played tho
diversified part ot pastor, pallbearer, sex
ton and mourner. There was no funeral,
no flowers, no procession to tho grave, no
"Inst look at the dead," as the .dread
malady of the deceased had cut him oft
from his kind, and the "services" con
sisted of lifting tho cheap coffin out ot the
delivery wagon at dead of night, lowering
It Into a gravo nnd shoveling tho clods
hnstily upon It.
This is the first death In Omaha from
smnllpox slnco Mr. McCoy took charge of
the Emergency hospital, though he has
nttended over 300 cases. Freoman was ad
mitted to tho hospital August 10, and eight
days, later became unconscious, from which
ho never rallied up to the tlmo ot his death.
Tho deceased was a widower and leavos
several small children, now living at
Twenty-fifth and Cuming streets.
APPEARS T0BE A SUICIDE
Chler Donahue llcllerea thnt Missing;
Luln Way in elm Drowned Her
elf In Cut-Oft Lake.
Detective Johnson was sent out to Court
land beach Thursday afternoon to Investi
gate the mysterious disappearance ot Lulu
Waymclrs, the girl who, to all appearances,
walked out into tho night last Tuesday
with no clothing savo a pair of shoes and
stockings. Ho learned nothing In addi
tion to the facts printed in The Bee Thurs
day nftcrnoon.
Chief Donahuo said yesterday that In his
opinion the girl hnB committed suicide by
Jumping Into tho river-or lake. "Other
wise," he said, "sho would hardly wander
out ot the bouse In a nude condition. Sho
was undoubtedly slightly demented from
tho pains In her bead from which sho had
been suffering."
