"Everyone appears to be trying to get
the best of the city and all the money out
of it they can." was the comment of Mayor
. Moor cs yesterday, Just after an ap
polntlvs minor officer of the municipal gov
ernment had admitted charges of "graft
ing." "I am trying to stop, the leaks and, ths
useless expenditure of money, and It up
pears that I make fresh enemies every
. day. There are evidences right and left
where the city Is getting the worst of it;
try to stop it, and the result is censure,''
continued the chief executive, of the city.
A reporter for The Bee happened to walk
Into the mayor's office while he was hold
ing an animated conversation with found
master John Laughland. The poundmas
tsr was pleading for the appolnt-
aMDt of himself as watchman to
look after the property ' at the
city pound on lower Webster street. Dur
ing the winter the poundmaster's work Is
a dead letter, he has nothing to do and re
ceives no emoluments. The mayor-was
protesting agahiBt ' the expenditure and
Laughland pointed out the fact that he
had been employed as watchman last win
ter at HO a month.
"An old friend of mine was given the
Job." continued the poundmuster. "He
needed It. I paid him $10 a month to look

sides I looked after part of the work my
self and believe I was entitled to remu
neration." '
"That's enough," responded " ths mayor.
"That Is grafting, nothing more or less,
and I don't propose to stand for It. I
shall Investigate this case thoroughly, and
I may as well tell you now that I don't
think you will get the watchman Job."
Laughland left the room without further
comment of a material nature. Mayor
Moores preferred that the affair be kept
quiet until he had made an investigation.
"However," he declared, "when the pound
opens next spring a new man will be in
Laughland's place."
Vetoes the Request.
It happened that the mayor's next caller
was a youhg mnn who desired the sanction
of his honor for a dance to be given at
Washington hall ostensibly for the benefit
of tho families of the firemen killed
Thanksgiving. A few questions from the
mayor developed the frank statements that
the young man Intended to make a "wad
of money" for himself, pay about i50 for
expenses, allow commissions to "the boys"
for tickets sold and give about 76 per cent
of the pet proceeds to the firemen. Pro
visions to guard against fraud evidently
had not, been clearly defined. The proposi
tion was vetoed by the mayor, and if the
dance is held it will bs without his ap
proval. It is said at ths city hall that the monthly
bills of the City Garbage company may be
Investigated soon. This concern, which Is
the garbago monopoly, has been returning
regular bills each month ranging from $150
to $200 for hauling away dead animals
horses, dogs, cats, etceach at a small
figure. The number of dead cats founds Is
appalling, according to statements, and,
while the charges may be correct, suspicion
sufficient to court an inquiry has been
atouscd.

SUES FOR HOLE IN HIS HEAD
Former Political Promoter of Jndge Sedg
wick Accniei Saloon Keeper.
LATTER SAYS HE NEVER SAW MAN BEFORE
Samuel D. Hoby, Plaintiff, Wants
Twenty Thousand Dollars from
George Schaler of Sooth Omaha
for Alleged Iajarles.
Judge Read is occupied In hearing the
case of Samuel D. Koby against'. George
Bchuler, a saloon keeper whose place of
business Is In Bouth Omaha. This la an
action for $0,000 damages because of al
leged injuries said to have been inflicted
by ths defendant.
In November, 1901, Just before the elec
tion, Koby was canvassing South Omaha
In the interests of Judge Sedgwick's can
didacy for ths supreme court. While en
gaged In that capclty he entered the sa
loon operated by Bchuler. After getting a
drink and paying for It, he asked Bchuler
if he could place one of Judgr Sedgwick s
pictures In the saloon. At this, Roby al
leges that Bchuler became enraged, de
claring that Sedgwick was "a pro
hibitionist." Roby testified that Bchuler
then reached under the bar and procured a
bar of Iron about two feet long. Coming
from behind the counter, he is charged
with having approached Roby and hit him
over the head, indicting injuries from
which he has not recovered. To support
this testimony Roby Is able to show a big
hole in the back part of his head, the hole
being large enough to admit an egg.
Roby lost hla right arm below the elbow
and three fingers of his left hand in a
railroad wreck some years ago. Since
that time he has lived on the "money he
secured from the railroad company and
has done such work as he was able to do.
After he. cams out of Schuler'c place he
went across the street to a drug store and
asked for a drink of water. Persons in
ths drug store, noticing that he had been
Injured, asked him what had happened, and
he told them, soon after which a police
man cam along and placed him aboard a
street car. When be arrived at the police
station he was sent to the hospital and
soon thereafter sn operation was performed
on his head.
Kalis fa Ills Ideality.
After Roby had given his preliminary
testimony he was asked to look about the
court room and sea If anyone in the room
resembled the policeman who had assisted
him on the car after the accident. And
then an Incident occurred which created
considerable amusement in the court room.
Roby got down from the witness stand and
went about the court room. In the effort to
see If he could discover someone w ho tal
lied with the policeman. After Roby had
made the rounds of the court room he
wound up near Attorney T. A. Holllster,
whom he then designated as the policeman.
The court and everyone present burst Into
a hearty laugh. Holllster la over six feet
in height, wtars glasses and has rather the
air and bearing of a man of distinction,
resembling In nc smsll degree James Whlt
romb Riley. What made the Incident all
the more ludicrous was the fact that the
policeman for whom Roby was making his
quest was seated not more than two feet
from Holllster, and when Koby pointed out
Holllster as one who resembled him the
stoic features of the hitherto un moveable
policeman relaxed and he Indulged in a
hearty laugh. Arother ridiculous feature
of the case is the fact that one of the
jurors persists In sleeping.
Bchuler claims that he never saw Rohy
before this suit was btgua and that he

JOBBERS MAD AT UNCLE SAM
Omaha Wholeialeri Deolare War Depart
ment Dicoriminatei Againit Them.
DO NOT GET FUL SHARE OF THE TRADE
Assert that While Home Officers Are
Just, Others Fail to Get
Supplies from This
City.
Omaha jobbers are thinking of going on
the war path against the War department.
They feel that Qmaha Is not getting its
share of the subslstance contracts in
Omaha territory and are considering some
action by which pressure may be brought
to bear to bring this business to this job
bing center. The fact that commissary
stores are being bought for the Depart
ment of the Colorado from Kansas City,
St. Louis, Denver and Chicago, and not
from Omaha, is the "war-mlt" which local
wholesalers are picking up.
The Department of the Colorado Includes
the posts In Wyoming, excepting that por
tion with the national park; Colorado,
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, and Its
headquarters is located at Denver. It is
contended that Wyoming Is distinctly
Omaha territory and Colorado and Utah
should come'also to Omaha for what sup
plies are not bought in Denver.
"I understand that the commissary offi
cers have standing orders to buy army sup
plies from Kansas City, Denver, St. Louis
and Chicago," said C. A. Pickens of Paxton
& Gallagher. Denver, of course, would be
a natural market for the purchase of a
large part of the subslstance and other
stores, but when It comes to going to St.
Louis, Kansas City and Chicsgo for things
which the Omaha Jobbers can supply fully
as well, I think we should muke some ef
fort to push our Interests.
No Complaint Here.
"We have no reason for complaint so far
as our own department Is concerned, as the
officers stationed at headquarters here have
always given us the consideration we have
a right to expect. Kansas City gets its
full share of the business In the southern
part of this department, at Fort Riley,
Leavenworth and other posts, and we
should receive', our fair share of business
from the west. Chicago is probably the
largest Jobber of army supplies and could
not complain.
"If Wyoming could be restored to this
department, as It 'formerly was In the old
Department of the Platte, when we sup
piled most of the stores for that state and
parts of Idaho and Bouth Dakota, we would
get a larger share of business, for the pur
chasing officers in Omaha would see to it
that Omaha got the orders, other things
being equal. The jobbers should bring
pressure to bear through the state repre
sentatives it Wsshlngton to see that we
are not discriminated against In army
business."

TOO MUCH SANDBAGGING DONE
Past Methods of Business Men Criti
cised by Local Freight Rail
road Official.
.
Local freight officials of the various rail
roads seem to be very much Interested in
the movements of the Commercial club and
the meeting held Tuesday evening Is the
principal topic of discussion in freight
circles. It appears to be the general Im
pression that the members of the club are
now warmed Up to business and that they
are out to accomplish their purpose .of es
tablishing a grain- market In this city. It
Is felt, however, as expressed by several
prominent freight men, that the work can
not be done by tying up with any particu
lar line, but that all must be consulted and
taken into consideration. '
One railroad man said:
"When the Interests of this city are lined
up for the purpose of establishing a grain
market, if they pursue their purpose Intel
ligently and with a united effort, the rail
roads cannot long stand out against them,
and I do not believe It Is the policy of I he
roads to antagonize their customers In this
city, but there has never been a united
effort put forth to secure anything In tho
way of rate concessions on grain by the
business element In Omaha, and when
there Is I think the people will be surprised
to see how easily they will secure what
they want. We, as railroad men, have
never been officially notified as to Just
what the business men of this city want In
the way of rates. And the movement so
far In the direction of establishing a mar
ket here has been more in the nature of a
sand-bugging operation than in the way of
legitimate business."
