1 WOODMEN MAKE FULL DENIAL
Through Attorney Pratt Order Estates Al
legation of Geirgi W. Oooper.
CLAIMS RIGHT TO RAISE ITS RATES
Declares, However, Actios Wm Net
(or Pvrposo of "FreeslasT" Oat
v" Old Members, aa Plain
tiff Asserts.
Through the slow process of the law the
case, of George W. Cooper against the
Modern Woodmen of America Is about to
come up for settlement In ' the courts of
this state.
While the amount Involved In this par
ticular suit la only nominal, the oase Itself
Is of vast Importance, for upon the de
cision of the courts here hangs the loss
' or acquirement of hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the organisation which Is
made the defendant to the aotlon. '
Mr, Cooper, who Is an attorney of this
city, filed his suit several months ago, at
which time his contention was fuUy out
lined In the . columns of The Bee. His
, claim Is, in brief, that the order of the
N. Woodmen, of which he has been a mem
ber In good standing for fifteen years or
more, has raised the aasesnment of cer
tain classes of members In a way which
their constitution and bylaws especially
forbid, and that this raise Is made for
the purpose of "freesing out" some of the
older! members or those naturally most
liable to die, and thus oall upon the or
ganization for the death benefits on which
they paid for many years.
He holds that the discrimination Is
.Wrong and Illegal, for this and a variety
bt pther technical reasons, and announces
the Intention of fighting the matter to
the bitter end for the benefit of the mem
bers throughout the country, who, he
claims, are being Imposed upon.
Answer Piled by- N. C. Pratt.

men In this state, a general denial Is
made of all the plaintiff's charges, and
then they are taken up, one by one, and
material allegations made as to the falBlty
of each. The defendants do not deny
that the assessments have been raised as
claimed by Mr. Cooper. Neither do they
deny that he ' was a . member ln good
standing up to the time of the bringing of
this action, as he has set forth In his
declaration. The defendants also admit
that the rate of assessment was raised for
the purpose of discriminating against one
class of members, but that It "was a legal
act because it was done for the purpose
of equalising the assessments, for the wel
fare of the organisation and the presarva
tlon of the same, and with no intention or
thought of freezing anybody out, whether
he has been a long or a short term mem
ber. The base their right to so increase
the assessments on a section of the by'
laws, which reads:
Division R. Amendment to Laws. Sec
tion A. These laws may be amended at
any special or regular session of the head
camp oy a two-mirus voie oi us au
thoilred delegates present.
The defendants set up ln this connection
that the necessary two-thirds vote was
present when Mr. Cooper's assessment.
among thousands of others, was increased.
In this particular case the assessment was
increased from 60 to 90 cents per month for
as many or as few months during the year
as the death benefits to be paid by the so
ciety during the year made necessary, the
increase being made on an age basis. A
copy of the by-laws of the organisation is
attached to and made a part of Mr. Pratt's
answer and an endeavor will be made by
him to have the case disposed of at the
present term of the district court.
TELLS WHY EARNINGS FELL
Superintendent Sllfer of Rock Island
Says Henry Operating Expenses
Partly Caasod It.
H. J. Bllfer, general superintendent of
the Rock Island railway, la In the city. Mr.
Sllfer Is very optlmlstlo concerning pros
pects for railroad earnings during the com
ing year. In talking on the subject Mr.
Sllfer said:
"Almost all reports for the year ln the
railroad business show a decrease in net
earnings, but this Is due In great part to
Increased operating expenses. In whloh the
Item of labor cuts a great figure. The cost
of labor has advanced during the last year
about SB per cent, but I .think that, gener
ally speaking, the laboring men are ' npw
satisfied and that the cost in this depart
ment during the coming year will not show
much of an Increase. The wages now paid
are very good. The coat of material has
also rut quite a figure in reducing the' net'
earnings. I believe the advance ln ma
terial cosi during the last twelve months
hss been about 10 per cent. Better results
are coming this year.
WILL TRY FOR STOPOVERS
Commercial C lub Determines to Take
I p Matter of Beeorlasr Aatl
ralkilng Ordinance.
Regarding the proposition of the rail-
roads to allow stopovers in Omaha on
World's fair transportation if the counull
would pass an ordinance forbidding scalp
ing of this transportation, R. 8. Wilcox,
president of the Commercial club, said:
"The Commercial club will take this
biatter up at the Tuesday meeting of the
ixeouttve committee. Nothing will be done
ht'tore that time. I do not know what the
sentiment of the club will be, but It seems
to me If we can get stopover privileges
for World's fair visitors passing through
Oiuuha u Is worth trying for. A large
number of ssovls la that way would visit
our city for one or more days and I feel
It would do us much good. The railroad
people were in to see me Frlda Chair
man Wright of the executive committee
Is out of the city. I am not fully informed,
but I think there are few men engaged ln
this scalping business ln Omaha, so that
very little Injury would follow the passage
of such an ordinance."
BARBERS ASK CITY ORDINANCE
Want Btrlnsrent Prorrislona Made by
Council for ResraUttloa ot
Their Trade.
An ordinance proposing to license bar
ber s and providing for their examination
by a board specially constituted for the
purpose, is being urged by Louis V. Ouye,
business agent of the Barbers' union and
president of the Central Labor union. Mr.
Ouye bas framed a copy of the measuro
desired and submitted it to the city legal
department, which Is Investigating the
legal questions involved. There Is some
doubt In the mind of Assistant City At
torney Herdman as to the authority of
the city to pass such a law and attempt
to enforoe.lt.
The proposed ordinance would have ap
pointed by the mayor a board of examin
ers, composed of three barbers, who are to
meet on the evening of the first Monday
of each month and satisfy themselves as
to the Qualifications of such barbers as
apply to them for certificates. The latter
are to cost tl a year and are to be granted
to men more than 18 years oM, who are
free from contagious diseases. Students '
and apprentices are to be enrolled upon a
registration list and are required to pay
tl a year,' also. Provision la mads for
the Inspection of all barber shops, schools
and hair dressing parlors by the board.
One clause provides that barber schools
or colleges must display conspicuously a
sign so labeled and no other sign.

WILL NOT CURB THE RiVER
County OommiuioDeri Remind Order to Ii
prav Missouri at East Omaha, '
ALL MATERIAL WILL BE HAULED BACK
Action Taken Because of Approbea
alon as to Warrant for Appro
priating" County Founds for
This Parpose.
So far . as the Board of County Commis
sioners is concerned, the Missouri river
may do as It pleases In the matter of
cutting into and washing away land at the
west end of Florence lake at East
Omaha. The board, at Us regular meeting,
rescinded the resolution adopted last win
ter, authorizing certain constructions to
curb the turbulent stream and prevent fur
ther destruction of property. This latter
action means that all the material for the
Improvements which had been hauled to
the river be hauled back where It was
obtajned and let the river do whatever in
l.ts judgment Is best.
While the accommodating change in the
action of the river Is the nomlna 1 reason
for the action of the board in this matter,
it Is more than probable that it would
have done the same thing had the bank
still been In danger, as it is understood
that the board bas become convinced that
it had no legal right to spend the 12,000
mors or less of the oounty's money that
would have been necessary to do tho work.
Commissioner Kennord opposed the meas
ure from its Inception and now stands Vin
dicated in the position that he, took.

FUNERAL OF DR. WILSON
ervlees Condaeted by Seminary Col
leagues and Interment In
Tekamah Cemetery.
Funeral services for Rev. Alexander
Graham Wilson, D. O., .were held at his
late residence, 3010 Sherman avenue, , yes
terday. Dr. .Lowrle of the Omaha Pres
byterian seminary had charge and was as
sisted by Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Lampe. Dr.
Lowrle read some comforting passages
from the scriptures and then spoke simply,
but fervently, of the life and works of the
dead man, telling of his long and unselfish
efforts ln behalf of Christianity, education,
and his church. He told how Dr. Wilson
had been connected with McCormlck sem
inary at Chicago almost since Its founda
tion, as a director and for many years
secretary of the board;, how. he had aided
In building It up to Its ' magnificent suc
cess; how he had been Interested ln the
Omaha seminary and had come here to aid
In Its establishment, finally severing his
connection with McCormlck that he might
give his whole time to Omaha; how the
people who knew him. Irrespective of creed.
loved him as a man and esteemed him as a
citizen and how he had endeared himself
to the students who had 1 been helped by
him through his long service as a teacher,
and finally of the deep Impression he had
made on the affairs of the church.
Ths body was taken to Tekamah at 2
In the afternoon, where interment will
take place. Dr. Kerr will have charge of
the services there. It was Dr. Wilson's
wish that he be burled in the cemetery
there, that city having been the scans of
his last work as a pastor and he being
greatly beloved by the people of the city.

costs, respectively, ln police court According
to Inspector Mahammltt's statements, the
measures used by these peddlers were not
only unsealed with the official Btamp, but
the peck measure was short two quarts
and the half .bushel short five and one
half quarts. One of the measures bore
evidences of having been shortened and
a wooden bottom inserted. It was stated
in police court that when the inspector
drove up to the peddlers to examine the
measures Wooden grabbed them and ran,
leaving the measures in a nearby store
and himself escaping for the time being.

HENNINGS EXPLAINS HIS SIDE
City Treasurer Tells Why "Warrant
Cathers Sought to Hold t'p
Were Paid.
Regarding John T. Cathers' threat to
have city officers indicted for payment of
the April and May (1903) payrolls of the
Board of Public Works. City Treasurer
Hennlngs explains his ' official position
Cathers said a fact that looked queer was
the cashing of the warrants immediately
in the treasurers office, while registered
warrants Issued previously bad to wait.
"No discrimination was shown ln favor
of these warrants," said the treasurer
"They were paid as soon as presented, as
were warrants for the entire April salary
appropriation ordinance. The day before I
had announced in The Bee that the city
was again on a cash basis owing to ths re
ceipt of current taxes. As has been the
custom In past years, It was decided to pay
off the warrants just issued first before
Issuing a call for the payment of registered
warrants In the first place, there are
many of, the latter, all having equal rights
and not money enough to go around, and In
the second plaoe. It was not economical to
put the clerks to the time and trouble of
registering the warrants just Issued when
there was money enough ln the drawer to
pay them. Investigation of the books will
show this course has been followed in past
years. The 1903 payroll warrants were
cashed when presented, just the same as
the other In the ordinance.
"Furthermore, I wish to stats that sny
person holding a warrant against the city
and desiring his money may present It at
any time from now on arul It will be paid
In full."
