10 TITE OMAITADA1LY BEE: WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1902. O'KEEFFE STILL LNTERRIF1ED gouti Omaha Member Not Afraid of Partj Organization's Committee. STOCKHAM MAY NOT TAKE HIS NEW JOB Capiat Kara 'Will Not Become Superintendent of Pnor Farm loirs 5rn Resolution Goes Thromh, "What are you going to do when the county democratic central committee's committee call to straighten out the dem ocratic members of the board?" was asked Commissioner O'Keeffe yesttrday morning. "I guess I'll leave the state," answered The unterrlfled Richard with a imlle, ai he glanced at a traveling bag that Commis sioner Connolly had packed, preparatory to leaving tonight with Mm. Connolly for a visit of two weeka or more In the extreme aat. Then, more seriouoly, he added: "I really haven't thought much about It and don't know what the committeemen will ask, nor what they hope to do, but one part of my answer to them will be that I m tor the taxpayers, not the politicians wbo want county Jobs. "I can pick out halt a doten of theee men who are making the most noise about this board's course and show that they wanted to get onto the county pay roll. The chair man ("elected some queer men for hi com mittee to visit us In the Interest of the party. Everybody know what Ford wanted, because everybody can remember how he at around here, meeting after meeting, waiting to step Into the place when It was given him. Comment! on Connolly. "Aa for Mr. Connolly'a proposal to do whatever two members of a committee of three should deride as best, I must say that It seems to me he has put himself In a queer situation. This arrangement would bind him to vote for removals If the com mitteemen so advised, and naturally the committeeman would advise having the county farm In charge of a democrat. How then can Connolly keep bis word, for in the meeting of the committee of the whole, as .very member present testifies, he de clared that the appointment of Captain Will Stockham, republican, for the place would be made with hi free consent, that the captain should remain a year or at least until the possible changes are made in the personnel of the board January 1, next." Mr. Connolly's departure just at this time makes the situation at the county farm a particularly interesting one. Captain Stock bam told a representative of The Bee yes terday that the resolution of last Saturday appointing him as superintendent and In structing him to act as Much after June 1, but without (specification as to time, was not sufficient. He said: "If the board adopts a new resolution appointing me su perintendent for the seven months from June 1 to January 1, I'll take the place. If not, I won't. And the appointment must be made before June 1." Hofeldt Is with O'Keeffe. With Connolly out of town such a resolu tion cannot be adopted, a Chairman Ho feldt la known to be with O'Keeffe for re taining Oest. the democratic Incumbent. But in this connection there arlsea the other question aa to what la to happen If Btockham keeps hi word. There has al ready been adopted a resolution making him superintendent after June 1, and unless the republican members vote with the dem ocrats In rescinding that resolution the vote must stand a tie. Mr. Oest might continue In command, and indeed la said to bavo planned to fight in court his removal from the place, but some attorneys question his ability to collect salary if he remains In the institution after June 1 without being authorized by the board. "With matters thus complicated by a res olution which be himself introduced, It 1 mall wonder that Mr. Connolly feela tfie seed ot ocean breezes and a two week' trip," remarked a democrat at the court house yesterday morning. TROSTLER IS AN INVENTOR Councilman Makes Hand-Power Fan in Contemplation of Hot Summer. Not to be outdone in the line of inven tion, Simon Trostler, councilman from the Ninth ward, haa devised a new kind of a fan which promises to make 100 degrees In the shade seem like an arctle winter. The model returned from the patent office yesterday and Mr. Troatler is thinking of establishing a factory for the wholesale manufacture ot hie breeze-producer. He says: "I can make them at $2 a dozen and grow fat." The Trostler fan la a little windmill, with turbine-shaped wheel, made to revolve very rapidly by means of the winding and unwinding of a string about the wheel's haft.

I have been traveling under my own name and have made no attempt to keep secret my whereabouts I have been in Minneapolis under my own name and boarding at a hotel there. Was Xot la Hiding. "They could have arrested me any time they wanted to and I don't understand, if there ia anything In the charge, why they have waited so long. I don't care to make any statement at this time, or at least until I see an attorney. The whole bus! nesa is spite work and there is nothing in the charge. There was no need to aend an officer for me, for I would have re turned here any time had I known I was wanted." Fred B.

DEFERS EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM Police Board Finds It Inespedlent t Introduce Xew Shift at Presrat. The Board of Tire and Follce commls slonera hss decided not to introduce the eight-hour system in the police departmen for a while yet. Though a majority of the board favora the project. It la thought in expedient to try It for the present, sin it will necessitate a material increase in the force. At Monday'a meeting a communication waa read from the Prospect Hill Ira provement club, asking that that section of the city which Ilea north of Hamilton street and between Thirtieth and Thirty sixth streets b given police protection. The secretary Was directed to inform the club that after June 1 a. patrolman will report regularly at the call box at Thirty- third and Parker streets. A letter was received from Mary B. New ton, principal of the Castellar echool, con gratulating Detectives Drummy and Mitch ell and Patrolmen Inda and Dargaczwskl on their success In handling the Castellar school burglary of May 10. The alleged burglar haa been arrested and bound over to the district court and the goods have been recovered. A similar letter was re celved from W. B. Belt, manager for the Nebraska Telephone company, commending Detectives Heelan and Johnson upon the ar rest of John Dixon, charged with looting telephone pay stations. The letter called attention to the fact that the detectives took the case at 2 p. m. Friday, that the ar rest waa made at 6 p. m., that the euspect confessed at 11 p. m. and that he was con victed and sentenced at 8:30 the following morning. A report was received from City Electri cian Schurlg on the subject of the expedi ency of remounting the big electric alarm bell In the tower of engine house No. 3. The report was adverse. Mr. Schurlg said he had Investigated the subject of alarm belle and had learned that the system has been abandoned in nearly all tlea of the metro politan class in the country. "Its only effect is," he wrote, "to collect a crowd of volunteer firemen, who Impede the work of the regular firemen." The secretary waa authorized to solicit design for stars or shields to be worn by the city police, since the stars now In use are tarnished and unsightly. WILL BE MUSIC IN THE AIR Omaha Delegate to National Meeting Promises Trouble for South Omaha Musicians. Julius Meyer, who will go to Buffalo, N. Y., next week to attend the meeting of the National Union of Musicians, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, will carry war into the east against the South Omaha Trades and Labor assembly, and if the statements made by members of the mu sician' union are borne out in the investi gation It la probable that the central body of South Omaha will be making explanations to the American Federation within a few week. It waa 'noted some time ago that certain musicians of thst city had organized a union which affiliates with the Western Labor union and that there would be a struggle between the Omaha union and the new one for business in South Omaha. It is now said that the western union has been recog nlzed by the central body of South Omaha, which holds a 'charter from the American Federation of Labor. . A member of the Omaha union said: "Our delegate to the South Omaha cen tral union have,, Withdrawn. The delegate of the rival union had been recognized and we could not alt In the aame organization. South Omaha haa been unfavorable to the Omaha union ever since last summer, when it consented to. the employment of a band of non-union men from out In the state at the bull fighting carnival. Now, when the matter ia presented to the executive com mittee of the national union and Is brought before the federation the South Omaha cen tral body will, either have to bounce the Interlopers or surrender its charter." BOOK AGENT COMES TO GRIEF Employer Says His Orders Were Taken from People Not In Existence. J. H. Crelghton, canvasser for "8,000 Years of History," had another chapter added to bla publication yesterday morning, when Judge Berka bound him over to the district court in the sum of $500 on a charge of forgery.

Creigbton was sent to West Point to sell the publication and the first day telephoned that be had taken three orders and needed more money to continue the good work. Blrdsell sent It to htm and the performance waa fre quently repeated. When Crelghton re turned to Omaha after a very successful campaign a man waa aent out to make the deliveries. He reported that the men who bad purcbaaed books from Crelghton existed only In the agent'a Imagination. Complaint wsa filed and aeveral daya ago Crelghton waa arrested in Carroll, Ia., by Detective Dunn.

Judge Berka of the police court Is after the county attorney and the letter's depu ties with a aharp stick. The maglatrate considers that the public's time ia worth something, wherein he appears to differ from the prosecutors, and the promised re sult la that hereafter either the prosecutors will appear in hla court at an earlier hour of the morning or the maglstrats will send en officer after them armed with a capiaa or bench warrant.

"It lan't right to do business this way," said ths Judge, "and I propose to stop it.

CHANGE OF ASSESSMENT CONTEMPLATED Majority of the Fifty Thousand fit braaka Members Said to Be Op posed to Plans of Head Camp's Committee. Considerable Interest centers around the meeting of Modern Woodmen of America to be held at the Crelghton Orphcum June B, at which Head Consul Northcott will speak. There are approximately 60,000 member of the society in Nebraska and 75,000 In Iowa, all of whom are deeply In terested In the tour of the head consul, who, it ia aald, is visiting the different cities for the purpose of educating the membership on the subject of a change in the method of levying the assessments for death losses. At a meeting of the head camp a commit tee was appointed to provide a change In the method of aecuring the benefit fund, W. H. Thompson of the Nebraska Jurisdic tion being a member of the committee. Many ideas were proposed, but the com mittee finally decided upon the step-rate plan, by which the rate paid by the mem ber for Insurance advances from year to year, with his age, and also recommended a reserve fund to be created by an assess ment of 6 cents per month upon each mem ber. The plan proposed by the committee meets the approval of the head officers, but local members of the organization claim that 85 per cent of the members are op posed to it, believing that a comparatively few can afford the higher rate thus re quired. Member Expresses Opinion. Said a member of one of the local camps: "Mr. Northcott and the other head offi cers are very anxious to have the plan adopted and have gone so far a to organize a literary bureau, which ha been placed in charge of Ab. Land!, a well known pub lisher of Insurance papers. They claim that it is their Intention to educate the masses of the membership until they can see the advantage ot the atep rate and the reserve fund, but In my opinion the expense of that method will preclude lta adoption "Everyone familiar with the condition ot the order admits that some provision should be made for a rainy day and the only dif ference hinges upon the method to be adopted. A large number are in favor ot the creation of an emergency fund and still more favor a plan to make a minimum number of assessments each year, not lees than twelve, the balance left after all losses have been paid to be covered into an emer gency fund. "It has been the boast ot the officers and of the membera of the order that the so ciety never made many calls tor assessment that were nt absolutely necessary. Many years they have only called ten assessments and many more they have called but eleven, while last year they called twelve when there waa money enough In the treasury to close the year without the last assessment. How to Create Reserve Fond. "If there had been twelve assessments each year, regardless of the deaths, and the surplus turned Into the emergency fund there would be no danger from that source, as aeveral millions ot dollars would be at Interest at thla time. At the present time about $100,000 la rataed on each assessment and about $350,000 required to pay the losses. leaving a balance of $50,000 from each as sessment. "There is one thing peculiar about the present agitation, and that la that It haa bad no effect upon the growth of the society. There were about 13,000 membera added in March, when the last statement waa pub lished, and the Increase haa been maintained in April. , "The membera of the order 'In Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs wbo have been invited to hear Mr. Northcott will be glad to learn the reason why he favora the committee plan. It has been suggested In some quarters that a specla. meeting of the head camp be called this summer to take definite and final action upon the assess ment question and the visit of Mr. North cott may crystallize that aentlment In this community." BROWN MIXES WITH WHITE Both Are In Same Cell aad Brown N Starts the Mixing Process. Robert White, an old soldier, blind and crippled, who Monday received aeveral cuts on the top of hla head in a fight with Moss Hawkins, colored, equally as old and de crepit, waa badly beaten by hla cell mate, Albert Brown, in the city Jail Monday night. White was placed in a cell with several other prisoner and later Brown waa put In with them. During the night Brown, who waa under the influence of liquor, Jumped on White and broke his nose and almoat put out hi good eye before the officer could atop him. Judge Berka fined White and Hawklna $5 each for fighting, after which the two men ahook bands. Brown waa fined $5 and costs for carrying concealed weapona and after serving that out he will be prosecuted on a charge ot assaulting White.
