TO DISFRANCHISE CITIZENS
Witt Judge BaxUr'i RnliDg in Unitt
Miller Case Will Do,
CLERK'S LAWYERS MAKE SWEEPING MOVE
arapts to Make Prominent Mrn
W'koM otea Are Declared
Illegal Tell la, Coart for
Mbnm They Voted.
"Since Charier t'nltt has mpd lit to re
sort to the merest technicalities In his
Sort to get Harry Miller's county clerk
ship away from him, and aince Judge Bax
ter ha aeen fit to hold to the moat exact
ing Interpretation of the law, we have de
cided to follow the lead and spilt hairs so
fine In this contest that It will prolong the
proceedings for at least a month, possibly
la weeks; pile up the court costs alone to
12,800 er $3,00 result In the disfranchise
ment of pretty nearly one-half the voters
of Douglas county and be a source of end
less annoyance to those who accommodated
forgetful friends who had neglected to reg
ister by filing affidavits for them."
This was the declaration of Lysle I. Ab
bott and Louis J. Plattl, attorneys for
Mr. Miller, yesterday. Scattered around
were papera that portend much loss of time
from business and much embarrassment for
many men. Mr. Abbott further explained:
"I confess that my dander is up a little
ever this conteat. The canvassing board
gave Miller a majority of S2, the first re
count In county court gave him a majority
f ?, and this last recount gave him a
majority of 84, yet t'nltt will not accept
the evident desire of the voters, but must
continue the fight and Incidentally the
coats oa purely technical grounds.
First Hair ftpllttlna-.
"Never before has there been any dispute
here of the sufficiency of affidavits filed by
residents of the same ward aa an unregis
tered voter, but Judge Baxter sustained
their contention that such affidavits must
be by residents of the same precinct and
there are left but two things we can do.
One la to pro rata the illegal ballots, which
la manifestly unfair to ua now, as Vnitt
attacked only the strong democratic pre
cincts, and the other ia to bring each of
the Illegal votera Into court and find out
bow be voted. We can do this, because
the law will compel any man who voted
Illegally to tell how he voted. It will be
aa embarrassing ordeal for some of them,
but we Intend to take that course.
"Unltt attacked the First, Second and
Third wards of Omaha and all of South
Omaha except one precinct of the First
ward and another of the Sixth, which wero
known to be republican. As nearly aa I
can remember, he challenges 328 affidavit
voters. We shall retaliate by attacking
every precinct In Omaha and South Omaha
that he didn't attack, and we already have
list of 200 names that will be swelled
before we. finish our work on the books, to
a number that will represent, I believe,
pretty nearly one-half the voting atrength
of the two cities. Judge Baxter seems to
demand the strictest compliance with the
balloting law, and this opens the way for
a sweeping disfranchisement. If a voter's
name, for Instance, be entered In the poll
book erroneously to the extent of even
a wrong Initial or incorrect spelling, we
ahall demand that the vote be thrown out,
as that Is what his ruling reaulres.
Some Illegal Votera.
"To ahow you the effect 1 11 name aome
of the men who are shown to have been
Illegal voters, although they have been
prominent here for many years. The list
Includes lawyers, doctors, real estate men
and business men of whose good Intention
there could be no doubt. Among them are
.W. A. Faxton. J. R. Buchanan of the Elk
born road, H. W. Webster, John H. Du
mont, Cheater B. Summer, A. O. Elllck (one
of t'nltt's attorneys), J. C. Birney, W. C.

Bard, H. L. Hayward. J. J. Olbson, O. C.
'Redick, E. C. Page, another attorney; P. J.
Haas and Charlea Mack. There seems small
Justice In throwing out the votes of such
men aa those, but that is precisely what
we can do under the Baxter ruling, and It's
what we will do. And every one of them
will have to appear In court and tell bow
be voted.
Fronlaeat Men Subpoenaed.
"Another Interesting feature of the litiga
tion which la ahead will be the presence

WILL TAP BIC IOWA TRADE
Proposed New Local Train Service Between
Omaha and Sioux Oitj.
WILL BRING MANY BUYERS TO THIS CITY
Present Service Bo Timed that Mr
rhaats of Iowa Towns Reqalre
Two Days for Trip
to Omaha.
It now seems certain that the Chicago A
Northwestern railway Is Anally to take heed
of the earnest and long-continued exhorta
tions of Omaha commercial interesta and
will shortly Inaugurate between this point
and Sioux City two new local trains, giving
dally service to Omaha and return from
practically every portion of the valuable
commercial territory In Iowa tapped by the
Sioux City division of this railroad.
These trains will be the most valuable
ones in proportion to the length of the
carry than have ever run in here. For a
year past local business Interests have been
exerting every Influence to get this aervlce.
and General Agent Cheyney of the North
western is now enlisted on their side.
Manufacturers and jobbers hsve been
greatly dissatisfied because the railway bas
fatted to respond to the sentiment here,
thinking Omaha was not receiving proper
treatment.
Commercial men cannot say enough in
favor of the proposed aew service. "Its
value to Omaha is simply Inestimable,"
said one. "It would be worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year at once and
would build to more than that with time.
Thla can easily be understood when it is
known that all the merchants from that old
and rich and established section of Iowa
can actually go Into Chicago as easily as
Into Omaha now as far aa the expenditure
of time Is concerned.
(oud Towns on Line.
"The trouble is all from Missouri Valley
on north and east, and look at those good
towns along there. There's Mondamln,
River Sioux. Blencoe, Onawa, Whiting,
Sloan and Salix on the main line, and then
In addition all the towns on the branch
east from Mondamln and on the branch
east from Onawa. Between Mondamln and
Boyer there are aeven good towns, and
nine more between Onawa and Carnarvon.
"At present the merchants in all this
score of thriving little towns, although
within easy mileage of Omaha, are prac
tically hundreds of miles distant. Just be
cause of the poor service by rail. They
must take two days to get in her and
back borne, and that is enough to keep
them away.
"The prime feature of this new service is
that it would enable these merchants to
come la here in the morning and go back
at night, with several hours Interval in
which to do business. That will be just
like a street car ride and they will flock to
us in flattering numbers when they are
furnished those conveniences of time."
The time mapped out for the new trains
Is to leave Sioux City about S a. m., land
ing the people In here shortly before aoon.
Then, returning, it will go out about 4
o'clock In the afternoon, thus giving a good
half dor here.
Bnrllnarton to Portland.
Final details of the new Burlington time
to Portland were completed by the receipt
yesterday at passrnger beadquartera of the
Northern Pacific schedule from Billings out.
This road will now bave three through
solid trains each way a day, two running

Chicago and Omaha connection at Lincoln.
These two will be Nos. 41 aad 43 to Bill
ings, where they become Nos. 5 and 6 on
the Northern Pacific rails, though they re
tain their Identity aa Burlington trains.
They will go via Helena, not taking the
Butte loop. With all times settled to the
minute, this service will now be from
Omaha: Leave here at 11:10 p. m. on a
Monday, reach Billings at 8:45 a. m.
Wednesday and leave at 4:20 a. tu.; arrive
at Helena at 12:35 p. m. Wednesday, reach
Seattle at 3:15 p. m. Thursday, Tacoma at
3:05 p. m. and Portland at 11:10 p. m. the

GAME WARDENS GET BUSY
Arrest Twa Men on Charge of Brin
ing and Will Prnserat
Vlsoroasly.
Wednesday night at Cut Off lake Came
Wardens Slmpkins and Carter and an Iowa
game warden arrested two men, Frank
Rurwell and '8leepy" Hewitt, for seining in
the lake.. Burwell was brought to Omaha
and Hewitt taken to Council Bluffs. A
third member of tbe party escaped.
In making these arrests the game war
dene believe they have succeeded in cap
turing tbe leaders of a gang of poachers
which baa for years depleted the waters
of fish contrary to law and the cases will
be pushed with vigor, the prosecutors hop
ing to secure maximum sentences against
both parties. For fear there would be
some technicality on which the men might
escape under the laws of one state, it was
decided to prosecute under the laws of
bqth, as, on account of the location of the
lake, tbe poachers are said to have broken
the laws of both states. With the men
was captured a seine 400 feet long, which
will be destroyed.
There is considerable complaint from the
lake on account of the practice of a num
ber of boys and young men who, in spite
of the laws, are persistent in shooting at
aquatic fowl and small animals which are
found along the shore. Anglers have
dodged at the sound of more than one bul
let fired by these thoughtless people, and
It Is now threatened by aome of the par
ties to enforce the law against shooting
anlpe and other birds out of seaaon.
"The birds at the lake at this time are
not game birds In any sense," said one of
those making complaint. "Young men and
boys In boats wlil fire at small snipe, frog
and other things along the bank merely
for practice. After the animals have been
killed they will not take the trouble to get
them, so they are pot killing for food, but
simply for the love of killing. Most of
the shooting Is done with 22-callber rifles
and these bullets flying from the boats
make it exceedingly dangerous at times."

MEETS WITH VIOLENT DEATI1
Andrew Haas Struck by Train at Bouth
Omaha and Killed.
HE HAD BEEN MISSING FROM HIS HOME
Deceased One of the Oldest Mock
Dealers at "oath Omaha Cor
oner Kmpanels Jnry and
Will Hold Inqnest.
Andrew Haas, one of the well-known live
stock dealers at the South Omaha yards,
waa struck by a train at 6:3Q yesterday
morning and Instantly killed. Mr. Haas had
Just returned from Lincoln and was walk
ing along tbe main Hue of the Union Pa
cific toward the yards when he was struck
by Rock Island freight train No. 90. As a
number of tralua were being switched In
the yards at Ihe time it is thought that Mr.
Haas became confused and did not hear the
Rock Island freight coming. The accident
occurred almost In front of the Union Pa
cific depot, but the mangled remains were
found fully 100 feet north of the station.
The deceased lived at 1034 South Thirtieth
avenue, Omaha, and leaves a wife and four
children. A slater, Mrs. Louis Rothchllds,
resides at 2408 St. Mary's avenue.
Mr. Haas was one of the oldest live stock
dealers at the yards, having started in busl
ness there along in 1888. or late be has
devoted his time to speculating in live
stock.
Wnnderlnar for a Week.
It Is believed that he had become deranged
recently from business reverses. A week
ago he left his home and went to Denver
He returned from there and ihe last seen of
him waa last Saturday, when he was seen
In the neighborhood of Sarpy Mills. His
family became uneasy and the police were
called upon to aaelst In finding him. He
was in Lincoln Wednesday and started tor
South Omaha Wednesday night.
Coroner Eralley waa called to South
Omaha and after viewing the remains im
paneled a Jury. This Jury will hold an In.
quest on Saturday morning at Brewer's un
dertaking rooms.
Inquiry by the coroner showed that no
one, excepting possibly the train crew, wit
nessed the accident. The crew and the
yard men on duty at the time will be called
upon to testify at the coroner's Inquest.
It is understood that the funeral will be
held this afternoon from the family real
dence.
