SEVERAL EMPLOYES HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Spark front Emery Wheel Starts the
Blase, Which Spreads with Re
markable Rapidity Acci
dent to Fireman.
Firs In the rooms occupied by the
Columbian Optical company on the first
floor of the Brown block, 211 South Six
teenth street, did several thousand dollars
worth of damage to the stock and building
at 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
The fire was caused by a spark from an
emery wheel In the workshop of the com
pany. A. E. Knnls was operating the ma
chine when a spark alighted on a towel he
had In his hand.' Ennis threw the spark
from the towel and It btruck In soma paper
and rubbish on the floor. Almost Instantly
the room was In a blaze. Funis jumped
from the window Into the alley, though
not until the lire had severely scorched
his face and ringed his hair and eyebrows.
The other half dozen employes rushed out
of the room, but all had their h'alr singed
and several of them lost coats and vesta.
Owing to the Inflammable goods In the
room Ihe fire spread rapidly to the walls
and furniture and smoke rolled out In
volumes before the department arrived. Uy
the iresence of mind of the firemen, who
closed tho Iron blinUs on the windows of
the second story, the flames did not reach
there. It took .nly a few minutes to subdue
the flames.
ttsteat of the Stock.
A. I. Agnew, manager ot the company,
was unable yesterday to estimate his
loss. He carried a $20,000 stock, about half
of which was In material In the workshop,
to which place the tire was confined. Every
thing In this room was burned. Including
office chuirs, tables and machinery. Mr.
Agnew carries tll.OoO Insurance on the
stock.
In taking a load of coal to a steamer
Fireman Hanley had a narrow escape
from death by i collision with a street car
at Fifteenth and Farnum streets, though
he escaped with only a few bruises and a
bad shaking up. Hunley was going north
on Fifteenth end the car wes going west
on Farnam. He saw the car and yelled to
the motorman, because he could not stop
his team. The motorman evidently did
not see the wagon and the car struck the
wagon in the center. The force of the
collision threw Hanley several feet in the
air and he came down across the tugs of
the wagon. The horses kept going on a
trot until they were stopped by bystanders
and Hanley again resumed his seat. Ths
fender of this oar was wrecked. The
wagon was not damaged.

CADET SUTPHEN'S SIDE OF IT
His Father Wants It Known that He
I'pholds the Conduct of His
Son at Anbnrn.
OMAHA, June 20. To the Editor of The
Bee: Too much notice has been given to
what occurred at Auburn, Neb., during ths
encampment of the high school cadets. I
desire to say that I fully endorse all that
my son did In connection with the man
agement of the dance given at the Auburn
opera house Tuesday afternoon. The pres
ence ot some ot Omaha's representative
daughters accompanied by their mothers
Is sufficient evidence to me that therfe were
"others" who could not distinguish any
baneful effects that would grow from their
attendance.
Tho hearty and cordial support given to
the boys by Mayor Dillon and the city au
thorities of Auburn, going so far as to
elect Commanding Wassels and his detail
of soldiers from the building, also bears
out the fact that tho boys stood In good
repute.
A. H. Waterhouae and Commandant Was
sels, It seems, were the only ones out of
"harmony." The decided stand taken by
the members of the High School Cadet band
In their refusal to play unless their leader
was restored to his official position again
bears out the fact that Cadet Sutphen Is
not wholly bad.
Newspaper accounts heretofore pub
lished would lead the public to believe
that the band was sent home In disgrace;
the truth being fourteen members of the
band had supper at Byer's hotel Tuesday
evening. Cadet Sutphen being their host.
A. H. Waterhouse used every contemptible
means possible to break up the boys' pleas
ure even going so far as to get out an
attachment on the Instruments on which
the boys were playing. He discovered In
time his Inability to maks proper service
of the writ and withdrew, and last, but
not least, late In the evening when every
thing was supposed to be over and ended.
Commandant Wassels and a detail of cadets
put In an appearance at the Byer's hotel
snd for the second time placed C. J. Sut
phen and Ralph West under arrest. In
so doing he exceeded his authority. From
my point of view Commandant Wassels had
no Jurisdiction outside ot the encampment;
as evidence of this he relinquished the
"prisoner" Sutphen on my demand that he
do so. This occurred on the streets of
Auburn.
The withholding of my son's diploma by
reason of his conduct at Auburn Is no
more than can be expected from so narrow
minded an Individual as A. 11. Waterhouse.
The ovation my son received Friday even
ing at the graduating exercises at the Or
pheum demonstrated to my satisfaction
that he la not so bad after all. I am
taking legal steps to see whether or not
this diploma can be withheld.

CALL FOR BAR CONVENTION
Attorneys Want to Forestall Nomination!
by the Politioal Parties,
SAID TO BE IN DEMOCRATIC INTEREST
Meeting Will Be Held In Omaha
at Two O'clock In the After
noon of Tuesday, Jnne
ao, Neat.
In response to a written request by ths
members of the executive council of ths
Omaha Bar association, Its president, John
L. Kennedy, yesterday Issued a call for
a meeting of the bar of the entire Fourth
judicial district to take action with refer
ence to the nomination of candidates for
district udge to be voted on at the coming
election. The call reads as follows:
To the Bar of the Fourth Judicial District
of Nebraska: Under and In pursuance pf a
unanimous vote of the executive council
of the Omaha Bar association, taken June
lrt and the written request of said council,
this day presented to me, 1 hereby call a
meeting of the bar of the Fourth Judicial
district, to be held in court room No1
In the city of Omaha, on luesday, June 30.
at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of ex
pressing the choice of the bar of the dis
trict with respect to candidates for Judges
to bo nominated by the respective political
parties at the approaching conventions,
and voted upon by the People at the elec
tion this fail. John l. Kennedy.
Dated June 20. 1903. President.
While the steps that have led up to this
call have been kept under the hat as much
as possible. It Is learned that the council
decided on this line of action at a meet
ing held Thursday. The executive council
consists of J. H. Mcintosh. W. D. Mc
Hugh, Warren Swltzler. William F. Our
ley and John W Parrish, and although It
is said to have been unanimous, it Is noted
that the first three are democrats and the
last two bolting republicans. It la also
said that many of the bar outside of the
men who have actively Interested them
selves In the matter are opposed to the
. , . . Inltl.tlvA In thm nnmlnilllnil
tar tasins w .... ...
of Judges. An Sliorney woo m iamjr ."
versant with the facts explains the situa
tion in this language:
What the Plan Contemplates.
"The plan Is to have the bar make out
right nominations for all seven places on
the district bench. The democrats have
recognized the hopelessness of any at
tempt on their part to elect a democratic
Judicial ticket and are, therefore, using
this means to get representation on a
ticket which might give them one or two
places In consideration of supporting the
other candidates endorsed by the bar. Some
ot the attorneys here would prefer to
wait unt.l' alter the various political con
ventions have made their nominations and
then to make up a bar ticket. out of the
best timber presented by ths respective
parties. It la a question whether both
republicans and democrats can be induced
to nominate the men that we may select
in advance, and should they leave any of
our candidates without their own party
nominations, they would be high snd dry
wllit lliUs chance ot election. The call tot

LOUIS MACHAL DROPS DEAD
Snccnmhs to Heart Disease While
Working; at Ills Place of
Business.
Louis Machal, saloon keeper, Aged SO
years, dropped dead In his place of busi
ness, 414 South Fifteenth street, at 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon, presumably of
heart disease. The remains were taken to
the rooms of the coroner and an inquest
will be held. The dead man leaves a
widow, residing at 1014 South Eleventh
street, and a brother, who resides In Iowa.
Machal had been sick In bed at his home
for some time with rheumatism of the
heart and, against the advice of his physi
cian, went to his saloon shortly before his
death. Upon his arrival there he attended
to the wants of customers for soma time
and then walked toward the rear of the
building. As he stepped through the door
leading from the bar room Into a rear
room he suddenly fell to the floor.
Employes of the saloon at once went to
his assistance and called Police Surgeon
MacDlarmld, but Machal had died In
stantly. Coroner Brailey was notified and
had the remains taken to the morgue.
1 The dead man had been a resident of
Omaha for ten years and was popular and
well liked by a large circle of friends.
For some time he had tended bar for Ru
dolph Havelka, from whom about two
years ago he purchased the saloon In which
he died.

NOT MUCH T0PAY OFF WITH
Receiver of Accident Insurance Will
Kot Be Burdened with
Cash
Before Judge Day yesterday the case
of the state insurance department against
the Woodmen of the World Accident associ
ation was heard In part, A O. Elllck being
appointed receiver for the association. The
Judge found that there are Judgments
against the association aggregating more
than $6,800, and a number of other claims
which have not been put In Judgment;
that there is $150 cash on hand, and the
assests of tho concern are of questionable
value. The receiver was Instructed to
realize upon the assets, which are
principally In the nature of assessments
upon members of the association, and to
pay the debts as far as possible. It was
found that the association had been doing
business In tho state contrary to law and
the receiver was ordered to wind up this
business. This association was in no way
financially connected with the society of
the Woodmen of the World, which has Its
principal office in this city.

RATE W AR SEEMS PROBABLE
Western Passenger Association Affairs Said
to Be in Bht-ky Condition.
LOWER PASSENGER FARES ARE LIKELY
Action of Wisconsin Central and Chi
cago Great Western In Cutting; St.
Paul-Chleago Rate Is First
Disturbing Factor.
Affairs In the Western Passenger asso
ciation are somewhat shaky and there Is
a good outlook for a short war of cut rates
throughout the west.
The western roads ot larger size are not
anxious to Indulge In any rate war, but the
action of the Wisconsin Central and the
Chicago Great Western In connection with
the St. Paul-Chicago rate has unsettled
things. The unusually low rates granted
by some of the Independent roods for con
ventions In the west and middle west have
had a tendency to 'make matters worse.
When the Rock Island made a round trip
rate from Missouri river points to Indian
apolis of $10 the other roads competing
were forced to look out for their own good
and the outbreak of a serious rate war la
looked for by passenger officials almost any
day.
The last step taken in the Western Pas
senger association toward the lowering ot
rates Is a proposition presented by one of
the roads to make a 2-cent a mile rate for
parties of ten or more between points In
Illinois and Missouri territory, which are
more than 7M miles apart. The rate pre-
vlous to this has been 2', cents a mile when
' the parties had ten and less than twenty In
them, with the exception of certain cities
in Kansas and St. Louis, wnere the 2-cent
rato held.
The association Is now considering the
proposition of having an Interchangeable
mileage book of 2,0oo-mlle size. This would
do away with the present certificate svstem
' entirely and Is favored by several of the
I roads.
ill Saluts Sunday School Pleale.
The annual picnic of the Sunday school
of All Saints' Episcopal church was cele
brated yesterday at Courtland beach. Ths
party assembled ut Fourteenth and Farnam
streets and from there, shortly ufter 10
o'clock, took cars for tiie beach, where It
remained until about 6 o'clock In the
lng. Not oil the school, however, went out
so early, but squads In charge of mothers
or older sinters were going out all day
until about 100 were assembled. A progivtm
of sports had been arranged by tiie rector
to amuse the children and older pupils.
There were races for boys and girls and
several contests new In this part of the
country; the thread and needle race,
wherein the young women were to sprint
with thread and needle to young men, who
must thread ths needle deftly enough to
allow the bearer to be first back at the
starting point.
