Ferpl
exing Question Likely to Be Settled
Tuesday Evening,
COUNCiLMEN ABOUT EVENLY DIVIDED
Mr. Whltehora la Prriamrd to Have
the Deriding Vote on Ordinance
Providing- tor Howard
Btreet Market.
The city market muddle, whlrta baa ben
banging Ore for nearly two month, prom
isee to coma to a lime-light finish In the
eouncll chamber Tuesday evening. Thla
showdown is forced by the fact that th
city Is cow losing about $10 a day in fees.
A general wholesale and retail market is
running full blast In the Eleventh and How
ard streets district, but no fees are berng
rollected from the gardeners and others
who sell there because the market maeter
liaa no authority to recognize it as a
market.
The subject will come up In the form
of an ordinance establishing a wholesale
market at Eleventh and Howard streets.
Thi measure contains a provision requir
ing gardener to sell there In wagonload
lots only, and limits also the time at which
they may aell to between the hour of 6:30
and 8 a. m. After 8 o'clock In the mornlnit
the wholesale market district Is supposed
to be closed and all wagons are expected
to assemble about the Capitol avenue mar
ket site.
The friends of this new ordinance are
linderatood' to be" Hascall. Trostler, Mount
and Karr, and those who have declared
themselves opposed to It are Zimman. Burk
ley, Lobeck and Hoye; Whttehoru has not
committed himself positively and upon hla
vote. It is presumed, will depend the fate
of the measure.
Oralaaaee Ilea Been AVailiaa.
The ordinance has been in the hands of
the Judiciary committee, comprising Has
call, Mount, Whltehorn. Zlmman and Burk
ley, for several weeks and has never been
reported to the council on account of the
uncertainty of sentiment and for the
further reason that Mr. Mount, one of its
friends, waa out of the city. He has re
turned since the last council meeting.
"The wholeiale market ordinance Is
loaded," aald oaa of the councllmen. "It
contains a clause that will render It Inoper
ative, and that Is the clause requiring
gardeners to aell In wagonload lots. It
isn't once a week that a gardener gets an
opportunity to sell an entire wagonload to
one customer not even to the wholesale
commission merchants because the loads
re made up of mixed produce. If they
were made up of all potatoes or all cab
bage. It would be different. I confeas I
can't understand why they want to pass the
ordinance unless It Is to please all classes
nod be on both aides of the fence at once."
Gardeners have ceased to bid for booths
on the Capitol avenue site. At the regu
lar Saturday morning aales there has been
only one booth sold during the last three
weeks.

IMI'lHE BAKINO POWDER SEIZED.

and Dsn It Into the Hirer.
ine rew tor papers report that the
Health Department of that city has seized
as dangerous to health nearly two tons of
cheap mixturea sold for baking powder, an i
dumped tpem into ths offal scow to be de
stroyed. More of the powder was found
in a auttn avenue department store. The
rennrt rf ,h- anlivli - . I
... . i,uu uvpari-
mem siatea mat it was "an alum baking
powder," containing alum and pulverized
rock.
The. different health authorities seem to
have different ways of repressing the sals
of bad baking powders. In England tbsy
have prosecuted the grocers under the
genersl lsw snd broken up the traffic. In
Missouri the ssls of alum baking powder Is
actually prohibited by law. In New York
they seise the unwholesome stuff and cast
It Into the river without any discussion.
Ths latter way Is certainly effective.
The alum baking powders are usually
offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents
a pound, or with some prize, ss a tempta
tion to the housewife.
Consumers can ' protect themselves by
buying only high-grade baking powder of
established name and reputation. Do not
be tempted by ths grocer to take some
thing else as "Just aa good," or "our own
brand,"' tor the trials show that ths grocer
himself Is often deceived by unscrupulous
makers and ta selling an alum powder
without knowing 1t.

Against Bouth Omaha Clerk.

the l-aw.
After listening to the arguments that
consumed the forenoon Judge Keysor has
denied John Mclntyre the temporary in
junction he asked preventing Samuel C.
Bhrlgley from citing him to appear and
cast lots for place In the South Omaha city
council as member from the Fourth ward.
The court also vacated the restraining
order issued last Wednes'lay.
Both Mclntyre and Shriglcy were In court,
as was also Patrick J. O'Connor, the demo
cratic competitor whom Mclntyre says he
worsted had there been a fair count of the
ballots, but with whom the. canvassing
board declared him tied. Ex-Councilman
Johnson and Miles Welsh, councilman from
the Second ward, were among others In the
court room.
Mclntyre attorney argued that Shrigley
had no right to conduct such a dram log, as
the statutory provision Is for such a re
course In the case of only county or town
ship election, cities to act under their
charters. The South Omaha charter, be
affirmed, gives Its clerk no such power, and.
In the attorney's opinion, the mayor and
council should decide the matter without
any casting of lota.
The Judge held, however, that a drawing
may as well be made, aa It will result In
one or the(other being seated, after which
the loser may, he said, bring contest pro
ceedings. The atstutes provide that con
test proceedings be brought against the
"Incumbent," so that one or the other
would have to be seated before this matter
could rightfully get into the courts to be
passed upon.
There has been Died the affidavit of
August Miller, who swears that Shrigley
told him he would Issue a certificate of
election to O'Connor If Mclntyre didn't ap
pear for the drawing. Another affidavit
was that of Frank Agnew, who represented
Mclntyre at the canvassing board's session
April 7. and who affirms that there were
discrepancies in the poll books and that In
all such Instances Ed Johnston, who had
charge of the tally sheet, would place the
highest number to O'Connor's credit. John
A. Rine, a young attorney, furnishes still
another affidavit. In which he states thst
Mclntyre's attorney saw the canvassing
done and raised no objection at that time.

Senator Clark Relate Some Methods
of lampalanlas In Connection
vtlth Vllnlnar
I
.NEW TORK. April 14. Senator W. A.
Clfirk of Mont ana was a witness In the su
preme conrt In this city today In a suit
brought by Prof. George A. Treadwcll
against the I'nlted Verde Copper company
and Senator W. A. Clark, Charles W.
Clark and the other directors of the corpo
ration. Prof. Treadwell asked that the defendant
company and Its directors be enjoined from
selling or disposing of 'any of Its assets
until the Judgment of the court shall have
been pronounced, that a receiver for the
company be appointed and that an account
ing be made by the defendants before a
referee for the profits of the corporation
since December. 1SSS: fWt the court direct
the sale of the property of the t'nltcd Verde
Copper company then remaining undis
posed of and appoint a referee to conduct
such sale, who shall account for It and pay
over the proceeds, when the plaintiff ia to
receive a proportionate share of the money
so found due snd. a proportionate share In
the surplus and assets of the company.
Prof. Treadwell claims to own 620 shares
of stock' In the company, which shares, he
says, are now valued at tl?$,0O0. He al
leges that he was wrongfully deprived of
his share In the company before he refused
to sell. Senator Clark denied that be made
certain threats ss to what would be done
If Prof. Treadwell refueed to agree to a
reorganization of the company, such as
was effected In 1900. He said that in 189
he asked his agent to try to. get an option
on Prof. Treadwell' stock, but nothing
came of It.
Senator Clark sal3 he made no attempt
to buy Prof. Tread well's stock after reor
ganization proceedings iSad been started.
"Did you ever tell Mr Allaire that you
did not 'Intend to be annoyed by that
pauper any longer. referring to Prof.
Treadwell?" was asked.
"I never did."
It was brought out In the course of Sen
ator Clark's testimony that the I'nlted
Verde Copper compsny had opposed a man
named Burns, who was a candidate for
sheriff of Yavtpai county. Senator Clark
aald that Burns was a discharged employe
of the company and that be had threatened
to ' get even." When Burns became the re
publican candidate for sheriff Clark sal3
he gave orders that Munds, the democratic
candidate, should be elected and that the
company should spend any amount of
money that might be needed for legitimate
campaign expenses. About 1 10,000 was so
spent. Senator Clark was then excused In
order that he might go to Washington and
It was arranged that he should, return for
cros-examlnatlon later.
WHERE TO KEEP GASOLINE
Insnrnnee Company Contends It
should Go Into Feed Tank
of Stove.
According to certain contentions In a
case now on In Judge Slabaugh's court. It
makes a heap of difference where a woman
leaves her gasoline can' over night. Mrs.
M. A. Beebe Is suing the' Farmers' and Mer
chants Insurance company of Lincoln to
recover $300 on furniture destroyed b Ire
a year ago at 2606 St. Mary's' arenue. She
swesrs thst when she took her gallon can
Into the storehouse, where the furniture
was, the night before the fire, she emptied
the fuel Info the feed reservoir on the
stove, but the company alleges that she
left the gasoline in the ckn and that this
voids the gasoline peYrntt In her policy."
In county court 'theVpntlntlff lost, and
attorneys say thst 'lf Yhe defense is again
sustained In district 'court It win open the
way to much future ltrlgatton, based dn
the samo premises thai the presence of
gasoline for any time a all In other place
than the feed tank of the stove voids the
permit and the policy.

DELAY OLEOMARGARINE BILL
Enemies of the Measure Retard Its Paseage
to the Preaident.
REVERTS TO COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE
emt Stair Is a Plnee on the Calendar
Receive Another Con
sideration. (From a Staff Correepondent l
WASHINGTON. April 14 (Special. ) Al
though the oleomargarine bill has passed
the house and has also passed the senate,
with amendments. It Is by no mean cer
tain that tbe measure will go to the presi
dent for bis signature for some time to
come. Objection wss rsired In the house
to tbe proposition to disagree to the senate
amendments and to ssk for a conference.
Consequently tbe bill was referred back to
tbe committee on agriculture. Now, when
It ahall have been once more reported to
the bouse. It will bare to go on tb cal
endar. Tbe house calendar In recent year
has practically become the graveyard of
legislative measures. The committee on
rulc3, which Is the governing body ot con
gress, can, of course, bring in a special
order for the consideration of any bill. Thlf
committee consists of three republican
members, including tbe speaker, and two
democrats. Tbe democrats are opposed to
the bill anj will, of course, not ronaent to
a rule for Us further consideration. One
ot the republicans, Croavenor of Ohio, has
expressed bis determination to do all In his
power to defeat the bill. It Is likely, there
fore, that some trouble may be found In
gttting the measure up for consideration
again. And, In fact, the enemies ot the bill
declare that its chances have practically
been killed by the amendments of the
senate.
Inanraenta Are Determined,
Should the opponents of tbe Cuban tax
reduction bill In the senate carry out their
program, there Is not likely to be added
to the financial statutes any measure look
ing to the reduction of the sugar tax for
come time to come. The Insurgents, as
ibey are called In the house, were unable
to muster the strength which they expected
at the outset of tbe contest. But there are
in the senate at least a dozen men who are
willing to fight from this time to the end
of the session rather than permit tbe pass
age of a bill which they claim threatens
disaster to the beet sugar Interests of tbe
country. In tbe senste one man can do
more toward delaying legislation than the
entire minority can accomplish In the house.
It is recalled that Senator Carter of Mon
tana succeeded in killing tbe river and
harbor bill last year and Senator Burrows,
whose stste Is very deeply interested In
beet sugar manufacture, has expressed a
determination to accomplish like results
with tbe Cuban revenue and In this be will
be supported by republicans and democrats
from all sections of the country. The point
is made, and it seems to be a point well
taken, that no guarantee has been received
from the republic ot Cuba, soon to be
launched, that a treaty will be entered Into
with tbe United States which will prove
satisfactory from a commercial standpoint.
In other words, no reason can be seen by
the senators from the beet raising states
why an advantage of 20 per cent should be
given to sugar producer In Cuba In ad
vance ot anything like trade concessons ac
corded to the United States by the Cubsn.
Then, too, the steering committee of tbe
senste haa set consideration ot tbe Cuban
bill so far In the future that early consider
ation is out of the question. Altogether,
the prospects for the enactment of this
tariff reducing law, tbe discussion of which
has caused so much contention among the
republicans of tbe bouse, are by no means
bright.
Admission of New States.
It Is likely that nine new electoral votf
will be recorded In the next presidential
election, which have not heretofore been
calculated upon by either of the great

would point to republican success in two

Canada wants to send to the United

more lumber and paper than any other
