Fnneral of Wallace D. Godfrey..
Yesterday afternoon funeral services over
the remains of Wallace D. Godfrey were
held at the family residence, Twenty-third
and N streets. The dwelling was not large
enough to hold the large number who at
tended, and so the windows were opened
and crowda thronged the lawn. The serv
Icoe were In charge of the Masons of Bee
Blve lodge.
Rev. M. A. Head, paator of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, and Rev.
James A. Wise delivered short sermons. At
the conclusion of the services the remains
were escorted to Laurel Hill cemetery for
Interment.
The active pall bearers were: F. A. Crea

bearers: C. A. Melcher, John Flynn, J. A

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

Eleven names, all on the registry list of
one precinct ct the Third ward, and none of
them known to the oldeat residents of the
ward, and none of them to be. found at the
addreasea from which they are registered.
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

merous people Isrge bundles of money
double bandsful, and he made his brsgs that
getting voters for the corporations pays
better than managing a railroad employ
ment office.
"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.
