May Cat Doni Force. It was reported last night the Fir and Police Board would reduce the number of policemen from twenty-three tq seventeen. This will be done, It is tated, In order to come within the appropriation. The law allows only $18,000 for police purposes and only 90 per cent of this sua oan be drawa when the levy is available. By reducing the number of patrolmen the board can keep within Its allowance, but If this Is not done there will be the usual overlap in the police fund. No Coancll Meeting. Owing to the fact that the flnanc com mit'ee failed to meet Monday afternoon the regular monthly meeting of the city council, to have been held last night, was postponed until Wednesday night.

Thousands of women have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial.

For years "Mose" as he Is com monly called, was city stock Inspector, at the same time drawing a salary from tho stock yards for similar work. The refusal of Mayor Koutsky to reappoint Howard after the new Inspection ordinance went into force caused a chanre In Mr Km. ard's arrangement.

These same eleven names are also on warrants charging their owners with illegal registration, and as soon aa they can be found the men will be behind the bars. Many othor Illegal registrations have been made and most of the men have been spotted, so hat warrants will be Issued for them and their arrests made as fast aa possible. On Saturday the same old desperate tac tics of the corporations were pursued ni hundreds of names were added to the reg istry lists, men being taken In squads from one point to another to be registered foi the purpose of voting at the election to day. Most of this work was done under the di rection of one "Doc" Langdon, a labor em ployment agent. Langdon will also be ar rested for hla part in the affair. Langdon Not Neve la Baslaess. "Doo" Langdon has been manager of an employment bureau east of the corner of Eleventh and Farnam streets, and handles many men for railroads and sends them to be employed by railroads in different parts of the west and the country. At the last fall primaries he bad large bundles of corporation money to carry the primaries for the corporations' candidate, Dave Mer cer, for congress. He said he had thou sands of dollars to bet that no matter bow many Omnba citizens would support the anti-Mercer delegation that he had men enough registered to vote at the repub lican primaries that would carry the city overwhelmingly for Dave Mercer. The same "Doc" Langdon has been ac tively engaged for the last week In get ting nonresident voters In line for the cor porations, using corporation boodle and working tooth and toenail and spending money lavishly on these nonresident men to carry the city at the polls for Ed Howell. Langdon has Informed his friends that the railroads had furnished him money enough to get enough nonresident unemployed men who were seeking employ ment through his employment bureau to register on the last day of registration, Saturday, In the lower wards of the city, the First. Second and Third wards, and In some other wards, to carry the city for Ed Howell on Tuesday. Works the Game Boldly. As a man who Is acquainted with Lang don waa passing Weckbach'a aaloon on South Thirteenth street between- Harney and Howard, across the alley from the St. James hotel he saw Langdon had a bunch of from twenty-five to thirty Illegal , voter and repeaters whom he had been treating, and then distributed drink money to them. An hour afterward this was on the day oi registration, Saturday when the repub licans had gone to the -Metropolitan hotel to register. Doc Langdon had a bunch of six or eight of these nonresident repeaters that he had in front of the saloon at the registration place, obtaining and getting them registered. He seems to be the stool pigeon and distributer of the corporation boodle In obtaining Illegal registration and illegal votes for Howell and against the re election of Mayor Moores. Several of the men when spoken to by different cltlsens admitted that they had just arrived from the east some even that day, but they had been Informed by Doc Langdon what statements to make under oath regarding being residents of the state six months, forty days of the county and ten days of the precinct, and aa to their place of resi dence in said precinct, to entitle them to registration. They further informed the cltizena that all . their expenses, board, rooms and all the liquor tney could drink had been furnished them by said Langdon and If Ed Howell was elected that he would put them on the city pay roll as laboring men. Not any of the citizens knew them. Has Plenty of Cash. There can be no question but what this agent of the railroad and the municipal corporations, Doc Langdon, has registered hundreds of nonresident, Illegal voters In the Interests of Ed Howell and the dem ocratic ticket. For the last week Langdon has shown to his acquaintances any nu Where The polls will be open today voting places will be as follows: FIRST WARD.

"He has Informed many cltliens that the railroad corporations and the franrhlsed corporations of Omaha ars furnishing blm all the money that ll necessary to obtain these Illegal voters to be registered to tarry the city Tuesday for Howell. "Langdon said that where the men were strong republicans and had any antipathy towards voting for a straight democrat h was obtaining their pledge to support Benson, saying Benson Is the straight republican nominee for the mayoralty. H said the men who represent the cor porations that are hiring blm Insist thst ! does aot matter much to them whether It Is Benson or Howell anything to beat Mayor Moores." , OMAHA, May 4 To the Editor of The Bee: The statement by a local paper that my deportment on a atreet car some two years ago had caused a conductor of the company to ask me to remove my feet from a seat In front Is absolutely untrue. No such occurrence look place. The gentle man who considers himself aggrieved has Industriously circulated such reports, and that I had endeavored to purchase his si lence. I do want to say that he has been to my office and I am told by friends that his demands upon me were for $l,Ono. The good people of Omaha know by this time whether my word is good. I am conscious of having done my full duty as an officer and servant of the people In strict accord ance with the law and 1 am ready to sub mit to tholr verdict. A. H. HENNINGS. What might be expected If Howell should as mayor have direction of the police force may be gathered from what happened when Howell ran six years ago and had the whole sayso with the old Herdman police commission, then in the saddle. Half ths detective force was detailed to do political work, taking orders direct from the dem ocratic campaign managers and Detectives Savage and Dempsey had written orders to report to Charley Fanning at Oerter's saloon and do whatever he wanted them to do to help the Howell push. Officer Inda reported to Walter Molse and Officer Sam Hoff reported strslght to Ed Howell. Hoff gave the whole story later In sworn testi mony In Judge Scott's court, explaining where Howell sent him and whom be was told to spot. He did not even report at the station at all for nearly two weeks and all the time drew his pay out of the city treasury. When Judge Scott heard this he declared: "They might Just as well put their hsnds in another man's pocket In the dead of night and take bis money from him." It is known that the same kind of work is being done for Howell again tht time, detectives on the pay roll going to Broatch for political assignments to the utter neglect' of police duties. "I don't see how any colored man can vote for Howell or Benson either," says A, C. Jackson, the colored elevator man, who lives at 708 South Twenty-sixth street. "Howell never did anything for a colored man and Benson won't even rent a house to a colored man. Mayor Moores has done more tor our people than any other mayor we have ever had." OMAHA. May 4-Mr. Editor: I want to reply to something In the Progress. It cojnaels the negro to vote against W . J. Connell. because "he is a negro hater. Why, If the negro never voted for any man except those who loved the negro he would do verv little voting. I met Mr. Con. netl thirty-five years ago. He was then an ordinary clerk. I waa a waiter and had more money at the end of the month than he did. I have been acquainted with him. as well as the negro usually becomes ac- ?ualnted with his white brother, ever since, have been In need of help many times and he bss never' refused to help me. When he was a member of eongress I had a gov ernment claim and he secured its payment, although the claim 'was twenty years old. Not a pcnr,y did h--get nor ask for. - He said: "l am a -publlo servant; my duty I ahall do in the matter." I was a poor ne-ro and he treated me with the same consideration the rich mnn would have re ceived. I see no denial la made that he is not learned. As I understand It, a man can serve the city best who is able and ac quainted with Ita needs, and he. more than anvnne, It seems to me, fills the require ments. He has served Omaha long and well and should be elected, and I think no negro should refuse to vote for him be cause the Progress says "he is a negro fcater." C. E. BURKA, a Negro Laborer.
