Ibr p to the maw, meeting held November
SI. A. U Heed thrn rend the rceolut.on
csIIIdk for the appointment of a committee
of fifteen to prepare a plan to accomplish
the reeult desired In the way of municipal
consolidation and the reduction of taxes.
E. nosewatcr wan then called upon and
aid that for a f?rcat many years he had
Riven the subject much cotisldcrntlon and
was opposed to the. creation of a ecpnrate
municipality at South Omaha, forrcclnR tho
resul.ts which would follow. In tS93 he
worked for the amendment to the contltti
tlon which would permit a change In the
form of government.
"Without a constitutional amendment
there can be no merging of Omaha and
Douglas county," said he, "and without a
special charter thero can ho no consolida
tion of Omaha and South Omaha. If the
matter Is not presented at the election of
1902 It will have to go over until Hi07. as It
has Wn demonstrated that nc constitu
tional amendments can bo carried In a presi
dential campaign.
"There can be a saving of about $75,000
made In the administration of the schools.
Other cities of this country have tried the
kindergarten system nnd nbollshcd It. Min
neapolis has two kindergartens, with four
teen teachers, whllo Omaha has twenty
three kindergartens and forty-seven teach
ets. From JtOO.OOO to t.'O.OOO a year ran
he saved In the city hall and the court
house, probubly, but aside from this little
can be dono without a constitutional
amendment."
John L. Webster said that It was tiullo
evident that Mr. Hoscwutcrand himself were
not of tho same opinion on tho subject of
the necessity of a constitutional amend
ment, aa ho believed a consolidation of the
cities could he effected without such amend
ment, lie said tho object of the commit
tee of fifteen should bo directed to creating
a sentiment In favor of consolidation If It
does not already exist; that tho committee
should not take up questfuns of plans, but
rather discuss the matter generally, form
auxiliary organizations In the different
wards and through them discover the will
of the people. If the general plan of
consolidation can be worked out reduction
of taxes can lc scoured nl tho same
time, and If the former does not com
mend Itself to tho public the matter of
local reduction nf taxes can be taken up.
The permanent organization of tho commit
tee Is tho first step which should be tnken.
Dm r , nilersiin'n Miiml.
Dave Anderson of South Omaha said that
he 'was Rbout half converted to the Idea of
consolidation, hut could only see one certain
way to bring It about, nnd that would be by
an amendment to the constitution, ns he did
not believe that any argument could bo
brought which would convert the people
of his city to annexation or consolidation.
During the last campaign on tho subject
the corporations nnd the newspapers were
In favor of tho pUn, whllu tho local real
estate owners, tho snloons nnd the local
politicians were opposed to tho plan. It
was defeated by nlncty-clght votes. He
Intimated that tho large local corporations
might now be opposed to consolidation, but
If they favored It, ns they did ten years
ago, the plnn might carry.
Henry W. Yates said the committee
should be kept within the' question of con
solidation. If tho people of South Omaha
could be shown that consolidation will bo to
their Interest they would favor It. The com
mittee should preparo a plan agreeable to
all and It It Is fouud thai constitutional
convention Is necessary tho committee can
work for It. Ho asked: Can tliu county and
city not be combined and then he divided
Into taxing districts to benr their propor
tion of the present debt and future ex
penses? Herman Kountze said he believed that If
r.onsolldatlon could be brought about It
would be a good thing, bu, ns to how tt
can he done he was not prepared to say.
I. W. Carpenter expressed the same
.Ideas. He did not believe the city could bs
damaged by the voto of tho residents of
the county.
Whltmorc nnd Country.
W. O. Wbltmorc from Valley said the
country voter realized Hint the cities of
Omaha and South Omahn represented a
great part of the wealth of the county, but
that at first blush the country voter would
be opposed to any consolidation of the
cltlea and the county: that slnco his ap
pointment on the committee every expres
sion ho bad heard was opposed to the plan.
TUo plan of an entlro separation between
the cities and the county will, In tho opinion
if the speaker, ho received with better
iplrlt than the consolidation plan.

IT MAKES WOMEN HAPPY.
"I bad been a sufferer for many years
from nervousness with all its symptoms
and complications" writes Mrs. O. N.
Fisher, of lP6l Lexington Ave,, New ork,
N. Y. " I was f.onMantly coin to see a phy

tically the difficulty i, that the committee
has no definite Idea of what it wants to do
or now il Is to be accomplished. He fa
vored the consolidation In the governments
or the entlic county, but feared the senti
ment reported by Mr. Whltmore. Th
question of consolidating the eastern part
of the county Is a serious question. He de
sired to have some matured Ideas presented,
and until this Is done little can be accom
plished. J- II. Van Dusen moved that a permanent
organization be effected.
E. Ilosewatcr said that the segregation of
th; city and county had been considered
several years ago and the question was set
tled by the constitutional provision which
requlrrs an area of 100 square miles In each
county. He said that there had bfen no In
tentlcn of swallowing the county, but tbat
the plan wns to reduce taxation by combin
ing offices where possible.
In answer to a question J. II. Van Dusen
said that h'c believed the charter of the
city of Omaha made provisions for consoli
dation, and that no further act of the legis
lature would be nectssnry.

Wciipp of tin- Committer.
T. J. Mahoney believed that the committee
should tontine itself to preparing a Dlan for
a general organization, which In turn would
prepare a scheme for the change In the
form of government. This being the scope
of authority vested In the committee he be
lleved that the suggestion of Judge Wool
worth would bo the best method.
Herman Kountze said that before the
committee could recommend anything to
a mass meetlr.g It should know the legal
status of the work In hand. If the power
to consolidate exists under the present
law, the matter will be simplified. If It
does not, then all that can be reported It
the fact that other laws must be secured.
Mr. Illtchi'ork'a Plnn.
O. M. Hitchcock said the Intention of the
mass meeting was to give the committee
of fifteen power to formulate a plan for the
chnnge In the form of government. He
favored a modification of the Denver plan,
cllmlnntlug the constitutional amendment.
Ho would have a law enacted by the nest
regular session of the legislature authoriz
ing the people of Douglas county to adopt
n new form of municipal government; that
while a majority of the voters of the coun
try might oppose It, and a majority of the
voters of South Omahn might oppose It, he
believed that a majority of all of the voters
of Douglas county would favor It.
John j. Webster favored the Idea of the
committee formulating a plan for a change
In government, to be submitted to the
mnss meeting yet to be called. Touching
upon constitutional limitations, he said
that the words of tho constitution did not
limit anything hut the slr.o of new counties
to lie created and did not apply to a chango
In the size of existing counties and that,
therefore, he believed the cities could he
divided from Douglas county, leaving the
county otherwise Intact, and attach the
city to tho county Tor certain purposes
chiefly for the action of tho county court,
which Is n constitutional office.
The previous suggestion of Judge Wool
worth was then put In the form of a mo
tion, nnd was adopted.
The committee appointed consists of
J. M. Woolworth. T. J. Mahoney, J. II.
Van Dusen, John L. Webster and H. W.
Yates.
Mr. Kountze submitted the question:
"Cun wo do what has been suggested under
present laws; and. If not. what changes
nre necercary?" Judge Woolworth, as chair
man of the committee, agreed to the ques
tions. The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the cbalr.
TROUBLES AHEAD FOR CODY
Work of Collection; sml Trnlnlnai ew
tinmen Likely to Tskr
All Winter.
Colonel Cody Is to be an exceedingly husy
man from now until his wild west show
opens In New York City some time In
April. The wreck on the Southern railway
between Chariotlc, N. C. nnd Danville.
Vh., early on the morning of October 28. the
day the show was to close for last season
nt Danville, it will be remembered, killed
108 of the show's horses and mules anil In
jured thirty others so badly that tho colonel
could not use thnn nnd left them there. It
Is the work, of preparing a new equipment of
ring stock for next season that will require
the colonel's energies from now on and he
will be in Omaha probably this veek, on
his way east, stopping off only a day or
two.
Colonel Cody's right bower. Will McCune.
says that the loss was really more nerlous
than the press dispatches described, for It
included the show's most Indlspenslble
stock. The colonel's roan shooting horse,
which stood firm as marble whenever re
quired In the performance, was killed and
It will take, Mr. McCune estimates, soveral
weeks of dally rehearsing by the colonel
himself to break a new animal, to the work.
Duke, given the Nebraska scout by General
Miles, wns found a mile from tho wreck,
unharmed. Moat of the new stock for the
show will lie drawn from among Cody's
many hundred heud up In the Dig Horn
basin and from bis stock farm near Coatea
vllle. Pa. Thero will undoubtedly be lively
doings when the spring breaking begins.
All of the professional bucking horses weri
killed In the wreck, but new ones will be
obtained for those courageous enough to
tackle tbem.
.The colonel's claim against the railway
for the loss of hi stock, none of which was
insured, amounts to $80,000 and anticipates
no great trouble In securing settlement, as
tho superintendent of that division of the
read Is "Nlek" O'Brien, son of General
O'flrlcn, and formerly of Omaha. Mr,
O'flrlcn and Colonel Cody are old acquaint
ances nnd the former was flrat to arrive ut
the scene of the catastrophe with a wreck
ing crew.

A changed date In a petition for Interven
tion in the proposed compromise with the
creditors of the defunct German Savings
bank caused considerable stir yesterday
In Judge Faw celt's court and called the
wrath of thr tuiiep dnwn m.nn Mi hm.i nf
V. O. Strickler, attorney for the creditors
who are unwilling to accept the compromise
which .Indue Fawcett ordered In iht. affairs
of the bank.
After Judge Fawcett ordered tho compro
mise early last July k number of the cred
itors of the bank charged that many of the
stockholders were able to pay tbclr full
liability and asked that the order be va
cated. A bill nf excentlous was filed by
Attorney Strickler, who proposes to have
the ease carried to thr. .in.rrmo -nun. ai-
torneys for the stockholders desired to have
the bill amended In such a manner that It
would show certain facta that do not nppoar
in the bill, but of blch the court has
knowledge It was during the arguments
concerning these amendments that tho al
leged tampering with the petltlun for Inter
vention was discussed,
The petition for Intervention Is certified
to by Mr. Strickler. It bears the date
July S In typewriting and oer the 8 a fig
ure 9 has been written In Ink. This
changed date Is held by It. W. Hreckcn
rldgo to be very material, as the petition
for Intervention howh a knowledge of facts
concerning the compromise ordered July S,
of which the creditors allege that they
were Ignorant on that date. Tho change
In the date to July S Is said to have" been
made for the purpose of allowing them to
Justify their clalsr.
CluirKen mill Counter Clinruc.
Mr. flrcckcnrldgc Mated In court that
the bill of exceptions was a tissue of false
hoods and urged the Judge to nllnw amend
ments which would show the truth con
cerning the affairs of tho bank. Then he
produced the petition . for Intervention,
pointed out chnnges which had been mad-:
In It and stated that nobody but the dissat
isfied creditors could be Interested In Hip
alterations. Ho charged Mr. Strickler with
having drawn the document front the office
of the district clerk and with having re
tained It In hl possession two weeks ago,
Mr. Strickler denied making alterations
In the document and stated that ho had
Instructed nobody to change the dates, lie
said that he left Omnhn July I s'nd re
mained away from the oily for two months
and alleged that It would have been an im
possibility for him to tamper with the doc
ument. He said that the petition was
brought to his office with other papers In
tno case and was mislaid until two weeks
ago, when he found it among private pa-I Vdlcit that he thought I wns tho only per
pers. . son who could have made the change and
"I am confident that this paper has been : thfU l,p "cUeved ' di,'1

body but you. Mr. Strickler, nnd your ell- I ,no illRhtost consequence. It ma' es no
cnts could be Interested In tho changes difference whatever whether Mr. Scllghson

Statement from Mr. Strickler. i
OMAHA. Dec. 2. To the lidltor of Tho
Bee: In The nee of Monday you publish
under large ncndllnes that Judge Fawcett
had "soaked" me while the German Savings
bank case was being considered before him.
I ask you in fairness to me to give equal
prominence in your paper to the following
statement:
On May C, 1901, Judge Fawcett entered
an order In the Herman Savlugs bank case
finding that all the assets of the bank had
been exhausted and that there remained duo
to the depositors more than $200,000 without
Interest. The Interest will swell this sum
to about $300,000. He further found that
the total liability of the stockholders In the
bank was $900,000. Ho directed tho re
ceiver, Thomas H, McCaguc. lo commence
suit against the stockholders within thirty
days unless they voluntarily paid Into court
enough money to satisfy the debts. ThU
suit should have been commenced by June
6, but it was not done.
I left Omaha July I and was absent from
the city for tho next two months. At that
time I was the only attorney who had ap
peared In the case representing creditor
of the bank, flefore going away I arranged
with two members of the bar to look after
this, and other rontters in which I was in
terested during my absence. On July A the
receiver filed a report that he had offers of
compromlso from certain stockholders who
were willing to pay about $100,000 If they
could be released from their liability, which
amounted to nbout $300,000. On the some
day Judge Fawcett made, an order directing
all persons Interested to show cause the
next morning why tho offer of compromise
should not be accepted.
I'lllnx of Order l)incil.
This ordor to show cause was for some
unexplained reason neither filed nor re
corded until after the trlnl was had before
Judge Fawcett and his order to accept the
compromise had been made. On July 6
there was a hearing before Judge Fawcett
upon the. petition of the receiver to com
promise with these stockholders, I have
since been Informed by the official stenog-
rapber that four witnesses were examined
at that hearing, which witnesses were: V
A, Ilenson, A. S, Hltchle, George Helmrod
and Thomas II. McCague, Karh of these
witnesses testified, so I am Informed, that
the propesed compromise was a good one for
the creditors and that the court should by
all means accept It. The first three uf these
witnesses were stockholders In the Ger
man Savings bank and the proposed com
promise about which they were testifying
contemplated releasing E, A flenson from

It Is not strange that they were so willing
to tellfy that the compromise was a good
one when It was fraught with such ad
vantages to themselves.
No ('limine of Diii'iiiuriit.
At I he conclusion of this hearing It teem
that Judge Fawcett announced that h
would order the receher to accept the com
promise and release the stockholders. An
order was prepared for this purpose which
was dated July 6. but for some reason It
was not filed until July S and the date was
I changed accordingly. Shortly after signing
this order, nnd on the same day, the affi
davits on file show that Judge Kawcett left
Omaha and was absent from the state of
Nebraska continuously until October , On i
i the morning or July s Mr. Trait and Mr.
"nrnett. the nltirnen who were looking
ftf,cr tho alcr ln ' absence, learned
""" iy llcportor of the filing of the
receiver's report., They Immediately went
to Judge Fnwcctt's courtroom, where they
learned for the first time, from Judge Faw-
cctt's bailiff, that the proposition to eom-A
promise had been submitted to the court
and had alicady been decided and that the
same was for about $100,000. They have
, bo,h t,,nl'e,, "lclr affidavits on file In this
i rase In which they testlfiy that they went
' 0Vfr 10 tnc civtk' omcr au'1 tr,0,) 10 m"'
the order and that they haunted the clerk's
office dally thereafter, but that although
(he order was In fact stamped filed on July
i s ,nc' wort' ,mnb,c ,0 "co H UDlU
on or
about July 13, for the reason that It had
been withdrawn by someone as soon as It
was filed, which means that they were un
able to sec the order until the three days
had expired within which a motion for .i
new trial might be filed. They having
learned then on July 8 that an order of
some kind directing a compromise for about
$100,000 had been signed, and being unable
to procure the order, they prepared a peti
tion of lntercntlon on behalf of certain of
the depositors, which was In the nature of
objections to a compromise anil gave notice
that the depositors whom I rcprcteut re
fused to accept the same. They attached my
tinme to this petition ns they hail a right to
do, and the same was then taken by one of
them on that day to Oeorge Pcllghson. one
of tho depositors, for his lgnnlure. It
seems that they could not find Mr. Sellgh
son on that day, but found him the next
doy. which was July 9, at whlrh time he
signed and swore lo the petition, and the
same" was filed on that day and the date in
the petition wns at that time changed from
the Sth to the 9th to correspond with the
fact. This petition hns been a part of the
files of the case nlucc July 'J.
Ilnvr .llnlter Cnme Ifi,
This morning, while somo matters In con
nection with the ense were being heard be
fore Judge Fawcett, he look occasion to
say from the bench, with much show of
fooling, that this change of the Sth lo the
9th had been made nnd lhat he believed II
wbb made by myself. As n matter of fad
my attention had never been culled to this
change until that moment and I stated to
him that I did not make the chnnge nn'd
that I was In the cast at tho time. He ro-
they obtained this Information. So far as
1 am personally concerned I was not In
Omaha nt the time any of these things
transpired.
We had much difficulty In getting Judge
Fawcett to hear our motion to vacate his
order nnd we finally made application to
the supremo court for a peremptory man
damus to compel him to do so. Tho day
before the mandamus ease was to be heard
in tho supreme court, to-wit, November
18, ho went upon his bench and overruled
the motions.
I tt m I h n on UeiMmltom IIIrIiIk.
I regret lo have any controversy with
Judge Fawcett. but I wish it understood
once for all that I. will never permit his
compromise order to .stand If I can help
It. I have been ln this litigation too long
nnd I know too much about the relative
situation of the depositors nnd the stock
holders to submit to this. Most of the
stockholders arc wealthy men. They can
pay their liabilities In this bank In most
cases without feeling the loss. No bank In
Omaha lias now, or ever hnd, a wealthier
or more solvent lot of stockholders than
the German Savings bank. I need only to
mention the names of John A. Creighton,
Charles Oreunlg, E. W. Nnsh, Joseph II
Millard, the Krugs, tho Motzs, Lorenzo
Crounsc, Casper K. Yost, the llorbachs and
Willliim A. Paxton, to show who these
stockholders are. There, are scores of others
llko these. They Includo the leading bust
ness men and the wealthiest men In this
community.
Whnt excuse then has Judge Fawcett to
offer for his order, made without notice to
n single crndttnr of the lnk, releasing
about $200,000 to these men which belongs
as a matter of strict legal right to the de
positors? 1 regard Judge Fawcott's order
releasing these stockholders as Illegal, and
I Intend to question It If It Is pottslble to
do so. V. O. STRICKLEIl.
