"We should have cereal mills and 1 flour
mills and glucose factories. If we get these
railroads with us those things will all
come." It was determined that-Mr. Iler's
suggestion would come regularly In ordev
later on. ' v
"I should like to ask Mr. Merrlam why
he does not bid for grain along the Bur
lington road," said Mr. Sunderland.
"Because It would be of no use," was the
reply. "The results wouldn't pay for the
stationery used."
"Doesn't the .rate forbid It?" persisted
Mr. Sunderland.
"You may draw your own Inferences,
was the response.

Victor Rosewater was called upon. "I
wish to say that we are with you," said
be. "I think you have started right. The
first thing to do is to make out a case,' as
you are about to do by the appointment of
this committee. There Is no reason why
Omaha should not havs a grain market. Il
Is situated as well as the other grain cen
ters. Given favorable conditions and there
la no question of the success of the scheme.
We have the same chances In this matter
that we had In the fight for the stock yards.
We must have unity to win.
"It Is foolish to think that any sentiments
'of sympathy or philanthropy will Influence
the railroads In this matter. You must
show them that It is to their own advant
age to give the help required, and then
they'll do it. It is simply a case of present
benefits as opposed to future ones, and It
rnust 'be made plain to the railroads that
ths future ones will far outweigh the pres
ent ones. ' -.
"Some of the grain men are avoiding par
ticipation In this affair because they tear
they will lose railroad favors. As a matter
of fact they think they are getting favor
when they are not. What the reads do for
one grain man they do tor the rest. Any
wsy, there is no object In keeplng'stll) un
less the railroads are going to kick back,
and' they will not- It Is to their advantage
to do business with one grain firm Instead
of several."

favoring an Independent organisation.;
'This aroused great opposition. Mr. Her
was first to get the Boot. "I am unalterably
opposed to a separate organisation," said
he. "I do not think you can succeed save
under the auspices of the Board of Trade.
Only that arrangement can' lend the neces
sary weight and responsibility, c We don't
want too many organisations. It weakens
things."
Mr. McWhorter followed. "I have always
found that the Board of Trade will give
the grain men what they want," said be,
"and I am positive it will again."
Chairman Peck here took occaalon to ex
press himself. "I think it a great mistake,"
said be, "to attempt any Independent organ
ization. The Board of Trade is just what we
need to back us. The directory will help
us, and If It wilt not an eleotlon is corning
and there is a chance to put In men who
will. ' This arrangement does not mean that
all those who are to trade In the exchange
must hold memberships in the Board of
Trade. That would bs too expensive and
too much to expect. But we can arrange
to sell trading privileges, floor privileges,
at a reasonable sum, say $60 a year. The
Board of Trade already has the necessary
rules for us to proceed under and It should
certainly handle this grain market."
It was then decided after much argument
that Mr. Van Dora's motion to make the
temporary organisation permanent would
have the appearance of a move toward in
dependence from the Board of Trade and
ths motion was withdraws. A recess was
then taken for two weeks, at which time
ths committee will report Its findings and
further plans will bs laid.
At the close of the meeting Mr. Peck
said: "I feel that we are well started to
ward what we want, that we have begun
right and that the movement Is actually
on foot and In ths right direction."

Ferry 8. -Heath Talks : About the Coming
Senatorial 0atet
NO' ISSUES FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN
National Republican Campaigner Says
There Is Nothlnn; for the Parties
to Divide On Oxuard
Visits Roosevelt.
(From a Staff Cbrrwiponderit.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. (Special Tele
gram.) Perry S. Heath, secretary of the
national republican committee, now editing
one of the leading newspapers 6f Salt Lake
City, Is In Washington. In speaking of the
election of a senator to succeed Senator
Rawlins, Mr. Heath said: "The republic
ans have the legislature by an overwhelm
ing number and will send a republican sen
ator here."
" Mr. Heath says the Mormons are largely
represented In the legislature and It is well
understood in Vtsh that a senator of that
religion will be chosen. Mr. Smoot, an
apostle of tbo Mormon church, Is one of
the prominent candidates, and the opinion
of many member's of the legislature Is that
be will be elected to fill the vacancy.
In discussing the Issues of the csmpaign
of 1904, Mr. Heath says: "Not one of the
Issues of 1900 or 1902 will. In my opinion,
cut. any figure in the national campaign
of 1904. I come, as you know, from a sil
ver state, Utah, my home. . The election"
qf both 1900 and 1902 eliminated sliver t s
an Issue In . any sense. Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, Montana,, all. gave large republican
majorities last November majorities tor the
gold standard. Imperialism, expansion and
the Philippines were mentioned, and the
more they were mentioned the greater be
came the republican victory. Tariff revis
ion is not demanded, generally and talk of
reducing the" tariff on trust-made articles
or punishing trusts by . free trade Is re-'
garded wherever I have' traveled during the
last sis months as a fallacy and Is not pop
ular. Th democrats first raised this ques
tion, raised it for the. purpose of creating
an Issue and dividing the republican party,
but they have not succeeded. The demo
crats are free traders first and last, and
protectloulsts will not taks to this propo
sition. Republicans do not believe In kill
ing the patient in order to cure It. During
the last six weeks I have been asked by at
least a score of democratic business men
what issue divided the two parties, and I
could not inform them. They all aaid they
were for sound ftioney, retention of our new
territory and opposed to free trade as a
means, of killing the trusts. It we were to
begin a national campaign tomorrow I have
no Idea what the democrats would present
In antagonism to our present policies of
progress and prosperity."

Henry T. Oxnnrd, head of the beet sugar
trust, hsd a conference with the president
this morning. Mr. Oxnard will probably re

sugar men believe it would be unfair to
them to cut the duty on Cuban sugar 25 per
rent they will not oppose ratification of the
Cuban treaty for the reason that their
business is being hurt more by- continued
agitation of the question of lower duties

LENA LllLIE SHOWS COURAGE
Prosecution Expects to Prove Case at
Preliminary Searing.
SHERIFF WEST TAKES THE STAND
Testimony Is Mostly as to Details Con
nected with the Crime-Long List
of Witnesses Yet to
Come,
DAVID CITY, Neb., Jan. S. (Special Tel
egram.) Willis D. Westover, a member of
the coroner's Jury, was on the stand most
of this morning at the preliminary hearing
of Mrs. Lena M. Llllle on the charge qf
murdoring her husband. This afternoon
Sheriff West was called, and testified In
detail aa to his Investigations at the house
on the morning of the crime. Court ad
journed until Monday before the sheriff's
cross-examination was completed.
From the list of witnesses yet to testify
It is not thought that the hearing will be
concluded before the last of next week.
While Mrs. Llllle Is beginning to fully re
alize the gravity of the awful crime with
which she is charged, she Is standing the
ordeal with remarkable fortitude.
Prosecution is Confident.
Counsel tor the state consider that they
scored a strong point yesterday with the
witnesses who were on the stand. Dr. S. C.
Beede, Dr. H. E. Burdick and J. D. Sprague.
These are the best witnesses for the pros
ecution that have yet been introduced.. The
attorneys say their best and strongest ev
idence is yet to come and that they have
plenty of it. They evidently believe that
Judge Sklles will hold the defendant to the
district court. In his testimony yesterday
afternoon J. D. Sprague said that Mrs. Lll
lle testified before the coroner's jury that
all that was stolen out of the house on t.he
morning of the murder was $300 In money
belonging to her snd a small amount of
money from Mr. Llllle's trousers' pockets,
and some notes belonging to her, snd that
nothing else In the house was disturbed.
This morning throngs of people '.were
making their way to the courthouse for
more than one hour before the time for
court to convene. Some carried their lunch
baskets, evidently Intending to spend the
entire day as spectators In the temple of
Justice. Mrs. Llllle arrived at the court
room promptly at 9 o'clock, accompanied
by her parents, her sister, Mrs. Grisinger,
and Sam Llllle. Mrs. Mary Llllle, mother
of the murdered man, is not present to at
tend the hearing for the reason that she Is
subpoenaed as a witness for the defenss.
Mrs. Llllle reads the morning papers cart
fully and seems much interested in them.
Aa usual, the attorneys were late and court
did not convene until near 10 o'clock.
Repeate Mrs. I.lllie's Story. '
Willis V. Westover wss the first witness.
He wss a member of tha coroner's Jury.
Witness said:
"Mrs. Llllle said she was awakened that
morning by a loud noise. She saw a man
standing by ths bed pointing a revolver at
ber. She rolled off the bed, and beard tha
man run out of the room and down stairs.
The first thing she thought of was belp.
She commenced screaming and called to the
girls, saying that ber husband had been
shot, and telling tbem to go for help. She
said they lighted a lamp and they all went
downstairs, she preceding. The girls went
across the street to get help snd she went
to the telephone.
"Mrs. Llllle described the man as about
ths size of Harvey. She said he might havs
had a beard and might not; he might have
worn a mask and might not. The revolver,
she said, was a bright one."
Witness then portrayed to the court the
position of the man as he stood by the
bed, ssylng: "I saw Dr. Sprsgue place a
pencil through the hole In the glass, and
the bole In the screen snd the outside of
the pencil wss ths highest. Indicating that
iths rants ot the bullet was slightly up

ward. I stood on the west side of the bed
and sighted through the hole In the window
and the screen, and the revolver would have
been about six inches above the top of the
bed clothing."
This evidence was given to prove the Im
possibility of a man atandlng where Mrs.
Llllle says be did and firing a shot through
the window, as Indicated by the bole in the
window and screen.
Window is Introduced.
Witness was shown the window taken
from the Llllle home. He said: "If this Is
the window which we examined, it is not
Just in the same condition it waa when wo
first examined It for the reason the pow
der burn Is not near aa black aa it waa and
the hole Is larger than it was then.
"I went out on the porch and examined
the hole In the screen and It appeared the
same as It did from the inside, except the
wires were bent out.
"When Mrs. Llllle was testlfyina before
the coroner's Jury she was asked If the
revolver the man held In his hand was a
long or short one, and she said: 'I was not
measuring gun barrels that morning and do
not think you would, either.' "
Witness testified at length as to the tests
made by the coroner's Jury to discover
from what distance powder would burn
similarly to the powder burns on the wln-
aow ana curtain in the Llllle home. His
testimony In this respect corroborated that
of John D. Sprague In every particular.
Hole in the Window Screen.
In the cross-examination of Westover the
window screen waa shown him and he said:
"If that is the screen that we saw the hole
It is ot a different shape."
The hole In this screen at this time Is
about one. Inch by one-half Inch. It Is
probable that the window screen will be
Introduced in evidence later In the pro
ceedlngs:
When court convened this afternoon
Westover was recalled for further cross
examination. Witness stated that when
Mrs. Llllle demonstrated to the coroner's
Jury the position of the msn when be was
pointing the revolver at her, she used a
revolver. This corroborates the testimony
of Dr. Sample on this point. Witness
Sprague was not positive about this.
Sheriff West's Story. '
Isaao J. West, sheriff, was ths next wit
ness. He said: "On the morning of Octo
ber 24, 1902, I heard of the shooting ot Har
vey Llllle, I Immediately went to the Llllle
residence. It was partially daylight. When
I first went in there wss no light burning.
Dr. Stewart, Burt Hall and Night Polloeman
Taddlken 13 d several others were there at
this time. They were all la the bedroom
where Mr. Llllle lay. Mr. Llllle waa lying
almost on his back, a little Inclined to the
left, his hesd turned a little more than his
body. I made some Inquiry of Mrs. Llllle as
to the occurrence and she said that shs hsd
seen a man standing a little north and west
of the bed. She described blm as a man of
about the size of Mr. Llllle, saying that he
either bad on a cap or a hat with a narrow
brim and she thought he was light com
plected. He waa pointing a gun at her and
she saw there wss no show for her and shs
rolled off the bed on the east side. The
msn left the room immediately and shs
heard him run downstairs. I looked in the
bureau drawer and also noticed tbs hole In
the window. 1 made no further Investiga
tion In the room at that time."
Witness gave a description of ths post
tlon of the bed with relation to the window
which was substantially aa testified to by
other witnesses. Witness continued:
"Mrs. Llllle called my attention to the
bureau drawer and said $300 had been
stolen. The drawer waa closed. The con
tents of the drawer were mussed around
Mrs. Llllle did not do anything in assist
ing me Id Investigating ths condition of
the drswer snd did not speak of anythng
else being missing. I again went into tha
houss about 11 o'clock. Mr. Westover and
Mr. Duncan were there. I made a further
Investigation by looking through the bureau
drawers and examining the bed. I also
looked through the other rooms, both up
stairs and dowa. At this time tha bed
end all the furniture were In the earns
position they wsre In In the morning. I
noticed that the holes In the curtain, glass
and screen were on a level. I went over
there to see If thst window hsd been ra sed
and by going out on the porch
thst the screen had not been moved. (TBI a
evidence Is introduced to negative the
theory of the defense that there was i a
block under the window sash when t.ie
shot wss fired.) "Upon the second exam
ination I found a watch, a dressing-case,
some Jewelry and a revolver. These were
In the drawer from which Mrs. Llllle said
the money had been taken. I gave the re
volver to the coroner. I was at the Lima
residence the next morning and was in
the bedroom. Mrs. Llllle and Mr. Hell of
Omaha were with me. Mrs. Llllle de
scribed the men who did the shooting the
same as she did before, except the posi
tion In which the man sood."
Identifies the Revolver,
The revolver wss brought Into court and
was fully identified by the sheriff as the
one found in the bureau drawer In tha
Llllle bedroom on the mcnlng of the crlpae.
When the revolver was being Identified by
the officer people rose In their teste to. see
the weapon with which It Is poaalble the
awful crime was committed.
Witness contlued: "On October 24 I got
a padlock and locked the bedroom. This
was en my second visit. The key waa in
my possession until the coroner's Inquest.
I gave it to the coroner. I examined
the windows and doors to see If they Md
been opened and they had not been. I par
ticularly examined the kitchen door to see
if any marks were on it, that being the
door that Mrs. Llllle said was open when
she csme down stairs that morning. I
found nothing unuRual. Mrs. Llllle ssld
the key had been pushed out and the door
unlocked. I examined the keyhole , from
the outside and Inside carefully and found
nothing to Indicate that it had been tam
pered with in any way."
The cross-examination of the sheriff elic
ited that when he first went to the bedroom
the bureau drawer was closed. : '
Court adjourned until Monday morning.
