TO MEET NEXT YEAR AT GRAND ISLAND
Association Votes la Favor of Lealala.
tloa tkat Will Enable County
Boards to nallil Bridges
by Day Labor.
The second day's session of the Btate
Association of County Commissioners and
Supervisors resulted In the selection of
Grand Island aa the place of the meeting;
January 20. 1904, York contesting; In the
Indorsement of various legislative meas
ures, pending or to 'be submitted, and In a
general discussion of questions frequently
vnfrnntlnf commissioners and supervisors ,
In the performance of their duties. The j
attenedance at this session was at least
160, exclusive of Douglas county commis
sioners and ex-commissioners.
Most Important of the endorsements given
legislative proposals at this morning's ses
sion was that of the six bills introduced in
the senate Tuesday by Sloan of Fillmore
extending to four years the term of office
cf county clerks, now two years; county
treasurers, now two years; county survey
ors, now two years; county commissioners
Bow three years; county supervisors, now
two years; county Judges, now two years;
county sheriffs, now two years; extension
to be retroactive only one year.
Chance of Sentiment.
County Clerk Pilaster of Gage county
poke for the project, and though some of
the convention delegates seemed In doubt
as to the propriety of the proceeding, there
was no dissenting voice when Vice Presi
dent Thorpe put to a vote the resolution in
structing the commissioners' legislative
committee to work with the legislative
committees of other county officers' organ
isations for the passage of the Sloan bills.
Scarcely six weeks ago the commissioners,
then at Beatrice, voted down a similar mo.
tlon In as little time as they endorsed this
one. No one seems to know Just how senti
ment has been so suddenly changed.
Another resolution adopted was one pre
sented by Henry M. Kidder bt Scrlbner,
calling upon the legislature to enact some
law which shall compel railroad companies
to provide, without discrimination, for ship
pers of grain and stock, sites along their
tracks for elevators and sheds, and to pro
vide also ample accommodations for ship
pers of live stock who are accompanying
their shipments. 1
With three negative votes, there was re
ferred to the legislative committee with the
endorsement of the convention a resolu
tion Introduced byJohn Adams of Adams
county, pledging the association's effort to
secure the enactment of the pending bill
ettlng apart one ward of the asylum for
the Insane at Lincoln for the reception,
treatment and care of inebriates.
Favors Dar Labor Plan.
The association by vote concurred in the
' aotlon of the legislative committee looking
to legislation that will enable county
boards to have bridges built by day labor
Instead of by contract, If so preferred.
O'Keeffe of Douglas opposed this on the
ground that It encourages a disposition to
allow politics to enter too largely into
manual service rendered a county in other
words, that It opens the way fir, commis
sioners to make votes by letting men of
Inexperience attempt work which they are
riot competent to do.
In the afternoon, besides the question
box discussion, the association pledged It
self to two Important measures. One, in
troduced by ex-Commlsstoner H. E. Ostrom
Of Douglas, waa for a apeclal enactment
empowering the boarda of counties with
more than 50,000 population to dispense
With ward and precinct assessors, now em
ployed at $3 per day, with privilege of em
ploying as many deputies as they wish at
the cams wages, and for replacing this
system with one which contemplates the
employment of one assessor for tho county
at a salary of $2,500, he to be provided
with such help as he has to have. Ostrom,
In support of his measure, stated that it
had cost Douglas county $18,000 to make Its
last assessment and that In one district the
cost of the assessing had been equal to one
half the amount raised in that district by
the 0-mlll levy for the general fund.
To Assess at Fnll Value.
Along the same line there waa appointed
a, committee, comprising O. W. Welton of
Lancaster county. J. P. Falter' of Cass
county and Louis Held of Platte county, to
undertake mandamus proceedings against
the assessors of any county who shall fail
to assess at fair cash value, and to man
damus also the State Board of Equaliza
tion In the same event, action In both
cases conditioned on the failure of the pres
ent legislature to enact such laws as will
make any dereliction of duty impossible.
Thla same committee Is to prompt the leg
islature to remove the present law com
pelling an assessment 'of at least 1 mill for
the Btate university. The commissioners
state thai Jf assessment be made at fair
cash value a 1 mill levy will produce a
fund much larger than the university re
quires. There was endorsed by the rssoclation a
recommendation that the weed-cutting law
he changed to make the cutting season be
gin July 15 Inntead of August 15.
The old legislative committee was re
tained. COAL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Tho committee on supplies of the Board
of Education has held a meeting and per
fected arrangements with C. B. Havena &

the achoola will not at any time be per

ALEXANDER ZIEDIETZ IS MAD
Imprisoned Sooth Omahan Become
Violently Insane and Assaults
Deputy Jailer.
The county Jail guards hart a Card strug
gle with Alexander Zlediets yesterday
In a cell wherein he had been confined a
week ago in default of $W0 ball, to await
trial on a charge of shooting with Intent
to kill, Mrs. Michael Berkscl of South
Omaha.
Zledietz, a Pole, has been behaving well
enough since brought to the Jail until Tues
day, when he became moody. Yesterday
forenoon about 10 a prisoner informed
Deputy McCleneghan that ZledleU was
behaving badly and the deputy upon going
to the latter's cell found It strapped shut
with a bunk strap and Zciditz crying.
With difficulty the door was opened and
the deputy entered. Instantly the prisoner
grabbed a kerosene bottle and brandished
It over his head as he rushed at the deputy.
Fortunately for McCleneghan the bottle
slipped fr'om the prisoner's grasp and broke
Itself on a side wall. Other prisoners out
in the corridor fled In terror, only two re
maining to assist McCleneghan until Jailer
Flynn and Deputy Ileaton could get In to
the struggling pair.
Finally Zledletx was gotten out Into the
office and bound firmly In a chair, when It
was discovered that the back of his head
was terribly lacerated and the blood flowing
freely. The Jail force could not account for
the wounds until the prisoner suddenly
writhed about, and, reaching backward,
butted his head fiercely against the walls.
It was concluded then that he had been
doing the same thing in bis steel cage and
so gashed his head.
After being moved away from the wall he
tried to tip his chair over backward and
required a constant watching to prevent his
gouging his flesh with his nails. Evidently
he will require a padded cell to prevent his
self-destruction and steps were taken at
once to have him removed to the county
hospital.
It was suggested that he Is feigning in
sanity to escape punishment for shooting
Mrs. Becksel, but the Jail force scouts the
Idea of the case being anything but genuine.

Records of Men B 'appointed to the Force
by New Board,
MOST OF THEM HAVE MANY BAD MARKS
During: Their Former Service They
Were Fnnnd t.allty of UranUen
nesH, Conduct Inhrromlng Offi
cers and Other Offenses.
Among tho fifteen men selected by the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners at
Its meeting of Monday night for appoint
ment to the police force are eight who have
already served In the department at some
previous time, although there were not In
the number any of the sixteen men dropped
from the pay roll by this board about three
months ago for the ostensible reason of In
sufficient funds.
Of the men who have served In the de
partment before, the records of the clerk's
office show that but one of them resigned
and the others were discharged, though In
three cases the record does not Indicate
that the discharge was attended with any
discredit to the officer. Three of the re
appointed men at least were dismissed un
der conditions which would naturally be
supposed to bo a bar to reinstatement.
The member of this group whose record
most particularly challenges attention Is
Al T. Slgwart, who has served In almost
every' position In the department from pa
trolman to chief and part way back again,
and whose desire to be a policeman was so
strong that when there waa "nothing do
ing" In his line in the regular department
he served as a special officer.
Al Slsjvrart's Record.
Aa shown by the record, Al Slgwart was
appointed patrolman July 28, 1887, promoted
to fourth sergeant February 6, 1888; to third
sergeant October 13 of the same year, to
second sergeant April 27 and to first ser
geant September 27, 1889. He was removed
July 3, 1895, but reappointed captain August
15 of the same year and October 7 following
was made chief of police. His resignation
was accepted August 6, 1897, to take effect
September 1 and he was granted twenty
days leave, with pay to date from August
10, which Just carried him to the close of
bis term of service. There Is no hiatus
here, for he was on August 30 appointed
special officer, with the pay of captain, com
mencing September 1 and continuing until
further orders of the board. His name waa
dropped from the rolls September 26, 1898,
and by order of court was reinstated Jan
uary 27. The record closes with a notation
of his resignation February 20, 1899, to take
effect January 23 of that year. The maxi
mum age limit for appointment to the po
lice department as fixed by the rules of the
board is 40 years, and In the application
from Slgwart recently filed It la shown that
he Is 45 yeara of age.
As to L. F, Dwyer's former service In
the police department the record shows
that he was appointed patrolman June SO,,
1899. Charges of "intoxication and making
arrests without Just cause" are noted
against him July 16, 1900, which charges
were found to be true and he was auspended
for thirty days, dating from July 23. Then
on September 14, 1901, he pleaded guilty to
charges of neglect of duty and waa fined
four daya pay. Again March 19, 1902, lie
was under Investigation on charges that
he had been asleep while on duty and In
toxicated. He was found guilty and dis
missed from the service March 10. 1902.
Over the Aare Limit.
Joe I ah Thomas, the record says, was ap
pointed patrolman June 25, 1894, and die
charged for lack of funds September 29,
1897. He was reinstated March 6, 1893, to
date from March 1. Charges were Died
against him May 21, 1900, to the effect
that he had been asleep while on duty and
on May 28 those charges were sustained
and he was dismissed. Thomas' present
application shows his age to be 46 years
and for that reason and others Health
Commissioner Ralph, who made the physi
cal examination, haa declined to recom
mend him.
There are but two entries In the record
of John H. Cuslck. The first states that
he was appointed patrolman August 12,
1895, and the other that he waa "removed,
dismissed," September 17, 1895. Cuslck re
ported at the office of the clerk of the beard
Tuesday to complete the requirements at
tendant upon his appointment, and at that
time was so apparently Intoxicated that he
was told to come back at another time. He
went to the office of Health Commissioner
Ralph also and Dr. Ralph refused to ex
amine him because of his condition.
George W. Barnes' record shows that he
was appointed patrolman June 26, 1894, and
removed from the department July S, 1895.
Ha was reappointed September 17, 1895. On
July 20, 1896, chargca of unbecoming con
duct were preferred against him, but were
declared not sustained. But on November
1, 1897, he was charged with conduct unbe
coming an officer In having been "present
at a dance hall and saloon at 2:50 a. m.
Sunday, where liquors were sold In viola
tion of law and not reporting the same;"
and the charges were sustained and he was
suspended thirty days .without pay. Again
on January 4, 1899, charges of unbecoming
conduct were filed against him and he waa
found guilty January 9 and suspended for
thirty days without pay. He was dismissed
from the department for lack of funds Feb
ruary 28, 1899.
Charged With Neglect of Daty.
By the record Fred C. Moore Is shown
to have been appointed patrolman April 14,
1898, on ninety days probation, and on Au
gust 8 this probationary period was ex
tended sixty days longer. Charges of "neg
lect of duty, leaving beat, etc.," are noted
September 6, 1898, but the officer was ac
quitted September 12, 1898. Neglect of
duty, however, brought about Moore'a fin
ish, for he was dismissed October 3, 1898,
on such charges filed September 29.
Peter H. Dillon, aa the record slates, was
appointed patrolman October 14, 18S9. An
accusation that he bad "rat down while on
duty," filed September 22, was dismissed.
He was accused January 2, 1895, of having
been asleep while on duty and waa ordered
reprimanded. He waa discharged from the
department February 2S, 1899, for lack of
funds. In hta new application Dillon's age
is given as 46 years.
The recorded hlBtory of M. F. Hotchklss'
former connection with the police depart
ment shows that he was uppolnted patrol
man April 30, 1894. He was reported Jan
uary !5 for being late at roll call and fined
one day's pay. He waa dismissed February
28, 1819, for lack of funds. Hotchklss is
shown by bis present application to be 45
years of age, and Health Commissioner
Ralph hoj refused to recommend bim for
service because he has found him to bo
ruptured.

FAVORS HOWELL WATER BILL
Real Estate Raehaaare Rndomee Cum
pnlsory Pnrrlinse and State
Board Features.
The Omaha Real Estate exchange at Its
regular meeting in the Commercial club
rooms yesterday went on rrcord as favoring
the Howell bill providing for the purchase
of the water works. The matter came up
In the form of a report of a committee com
posed of D. C. Patterson, A. P. Tukey,
George O. Wallace, N. P. Dodge, Jr., end
C. C. George. The committee stated that
It had held two meetings to consider tho
subject and had listened to talks tin the
subject by Senator Howell, R. S. Hall and
B. M. Fairfield of the water company. The
following was the report as adopted:
Whereas, the city charter provides thnt
the city had the right, after twenty years,
to purchase the cltv water works, and that
said right accrued In lO'O. and at an elec
tion held to vote bonds to purchase snld
plnnt, the people of Omaha voted in favor
of the bonds by n vote of 11 ,511 in favor
of the bonds to f.R31 against. That at sulrt
general city election all cnmllflate for the
city council and mayor were pledged to
carry out the purchase of the water works.
If the people so voted. That soon there
after the minority In the city council In
troduced an ordinance providing for the
purchase, but the same has never been
passed, but has been suppressed.
We, therefore. In view of these farts,
recommend that 8. F. 1 be endorsed,
and we especially commend the non
partisan water board and civil service fea
tures of said bill.
It waa . the sentiment of the exchange
that In the matter of the suggested con
solidation of Omaha Snd South Omaha that
It was not the intention of the organiza
tion in advocating the Idea to leave the
smaller city without a voice In the mat
ter. 'A resolution to that effect was
adopted.
Another resolution waa also adopted
which Instructed the tax committee of the
exchange to confer with the school board
and Its finance committee with a view to
securing a levy not exceeding two mills,
which levy, the resolution said, would
produce $22,000 more than was raised by
taxation last year, while, there will also
be a alight increase In the other revenues
of the board.
The committee of the exchange which
has Just returned from a visit to Lincoln,
where It went to Investigate the question
of city taxes as compared with county
taxes on railroads, made Individual talks
on that subject. The prospect of securing
legislation favorable to the city in the
matter they declared, could only be done
by extremely hard work In order to over
come the lobby Influences exerted by the
railroads.

ATTEMPT COMPLETE TIE-UP

SEEK AID OF AMERICAN FEDERATION
President Mornm Radeavor to Seenre
Financial Support for Vnoraan
Ised Men Who Will tie
Asked to Join Strike.
"We have decided that the quickest and
best way to break the I'nlon Pacific rail
way in this strike Is to take out every
shopmnn on the nyptem," said one of the
leaders of the striking machinists yesterday
morning.
"All of those now working are willing to
come out, if promised flunnclal support,
and It Is to secure this that President
Sloeum of the blacksmiths is now In
Washington In session with the executive
committee of the American Federation of
I.abor. His real mission east Is to get
that organization to place at our disposal
a fund sufficient to carry these additional
men out.
"There are many men still working, In
the shops over the Vnlon Pacific ayatem
who are staying In merely because they
are compelled to do so by lack of organisa
tion, and they would have no financial aid
did they come out. Now, If we csn secure
a dispensation that will permit all the men
to come out, whether organized or not, we
will have the matter entirely at our mercy.
Depends on American Federation. .
"So, If we can persuade the American
Federation of Labor that this complete
pulling out of the men Is necessary to
save tbe situation here, that organization
will come to the front with a fund that
will be sufficient for the carrying out of our
plans. That is what Mr. Slocum Is now
trying to do, and the result of that con
ference we are all anxiously awaiting.
"When you consider that one assessment
of 60 centB on each member of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor would result in a
fund of $1,250,000 you can understand how
easy it will be for that organization to help
us on this proposition. We are able to
carry our own organized men all right, but
do not feel able to take on the extra bur
den of all these other men who are not or
ganized. Of course they cannot stop with
out some guaranty of support, so there Is
the thing in a nutshell.
"The proposition Is simply a choice be
