V ITE OMAHA DAILY IJEEJ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1904. p 1 V x DESNiSO'S CASE NEARLY OVER All iTettimonj la and Closing Argument! f - Art Set for Today, v OtNNISON'S SIGNATURE PIVOTAL POINT Esperts la Handwriting Affirm ' mm Deny that Rama Written Hotel Rlilcr W( Dans y Defendant. ' The hearing In the Dennlson mm Is alt over but the oratory. At t:S0 yesterday afternoon both aide announced that they had no further evidence to offer. Mr. Con nell, for Dennlson, aald he and hla asso ciates were aomewhat fatigued and would prefer to defer their arguments until thla morning. Mr. Brotne had no objection to putting off the debate, but he expressed a deelre to hare the court limit the time to be allowed for it. Mr. Connell said a time limit waa alwayi embarrassing to counsel In arguing a case, but he would twuri the court that not mora than, one day would be required for the argument, of thla caae. With the understanding, that all . Of the talking la to be done today, court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning., Mr. Smyth will open the argument for Dennlson, then Mr. Brome and Mr. Thomas will speak for the prosecution, after which Mr. Connell will close for the relator.:. "Billy" Donnelly did not appear ae a wit ness for the prosecution' yesterday, as Tiad been expected. Lawyers Brome and Thomas had announced that Donnelly would be here from Bonestecl, B. D., to testify that Dennlson went to Davenport, la., with Billy" Grant early (n November, 1891 for the purpose of buying a gambling house there. The hearing of the case, whloh Waa to have been resumed at I; JO a. m., waa de layed until nearly 11 o'clock, awaiting the arrival of the expected witness.' At that hour Attorney, Thomas . announced to the court that Donnelly waa unlikely to put in an appearance. Mr. Brome said the prose cution would rest Its case.' with the under standing that 'the evidence of Donnelly la to be taken if he arrives later. Several ' witnesses were then oalled for the relator to rebut the evidence presented by the prosecution as to the genuineness of the "Tom Dennlson" signatures on the Davenport hotel register. All of these wit nesses expressed the opinion that the sig natures oft the hotel, register were not made by Tom Dennlson, and pointed out as basis for this opinion the differing characteristics in the writing on the reg ister and In the admittedly genuine writing of Dennisotu . ' t - DtBsnaee U Vrlttsi. & K. Bchweitser, secretary and treasurer of the OriuLha Electrto Light and Power company, waa the first witness. In reply to . Mr, .Coveira questions be said that ha had been, ) .hler, as well aa secretary and treasurer, tor the light company for fifteen years, and ..acting la that eapaolty had ' a handled a great many cheoks and fs.mll T larlsed himself with the characteristics of handwriting. Mr. Brome challenged the J competence of the witness to give expert J testimony:, but . the court ruled that his evidence would be taken tor what It was T worth. r' " J Mr. Bchweitser waa shown the "Tom Dennlson". signatures on the hotel register and the genuine signatures to the letters written br Mr. Dennlson, and testified that he did not believe the same man who signed the letter signed the hotel book. He pointed out the break In the last nam as written on .the, hotel register and the ab sence of such a break In the genuine , Dennlson signature. --Mr Bchweitser also t noted that the writing on the hotel book was angular and disjointed, while the gen , ulne signatures were jmoothly written. All ' Witnesses Agree. George Sohroeder, manager of h; Great Western loe cream and Bottling company, was nsxt called to tha stand. He testified that be bad been In the financial and credit department of the Boston store for six ,.,-at' .,n ,i twv months ua and while f there bad ft great deal of experience In handling checks for the purposs o passing ? on the. sufficiency of the signatures. He . .... .... a . 11 . ..... Y. a. V. nl. . -r-SCf1r oeen cauvu iuw ains ueparanem. oi mi t to compare hand writings for the purpose tot passing on the genuineness of signatures. Mr. Brome also objected to the competence of this witness, but the court admitted his testimony. After examining the signatures on the hotel register and those to the let ters written by Mr. Dennlson, Mr. Bohroe dr said! "X believe the signatures were made by two different parties." . As a basis for this belief the witness pointed out the difference in the formation of the letters on ths hotel book and those In the genuine signature. Robert Prttchard, the claim and warrant broker, was the next witness. He had been In the claim and warrant business for about twenty years and previously had been Cash ier of a bank, Mr. Prttchard said he did not think the same man. who wrote the lot ' tera which were shown to him had written the purported Dennlson signatures on the hotel register. He said the characteristics of the genuine Dennlson signature did not show at all In the signatures on the hotel book. Wot the tarn tlgnatar. After the noon recess Epps Cory, paying teller of the Union Btock Tards National bank of South Omaha, testified that ths name '.'Tom Dennlson' as written on the hotel register was not. In his opinion, the genuine signature, of Dennlson. Mr. Cory could not sse any similarity between the genuine signatures to the letters and the purported signatures on the register. He pointed out that the -capital "T" and the capital "D" on the register were evidently made by strokes of the pen different from the strokes mad In writing the genuine signature. The "e" in the word ' 'Dennl son" on the register was '. vary .' different from the corresponding letter In ths genu ine signatures. - F. C. Bst, formerly a bookkeeper for the Union Btock Tarda National bank, fol lowed Mr. Cory, and gave substantially ths same evldense, Stockton. Heth, treasurer of the Omaha Water company, testified that he was fa miliar with Mr. Denalsoo'a signature, hav ing seen It on checks frequently during the last six years.' He was shown ths name on the Davenport resist and said that. In his opinion, Itwas not ,th signature of Dennlson. . f -'" , A. B. Hunt,' superintendent of ths water company', went on the stand and told the court that he waa associated with Mr. Dennlson In a company' for which they both signed the Check a In this way he had becom very familiar with ths real For the Dyspeptic rs-lt.m teaspoonfnl in half a of water after ousts iiugi perfect digestion.

Mr. Hunt was axked to bring Into court a number of the checks bearing the Dennlson signature, which he did. Mr. Brome offered these checks as exhibits and they were accepted by the court Mr. Connell called Mr. Dennlson to the stand to deny the statements made In the Bhercllffe affidavit In reference to certain remittances said to have been made by Dennlson to Bhercllffe. Dennlson denied that he had paid any money to Bhercllffe during the fall of lXt R. C. PETERS FOR . DIRECTOR fcleeted at Dundee school Meetlag, Which fixes Rats at Twenty riva Mills. The school meeting In Dundee precinct Monday evening was a very spirited affair. The principal contest was ovsr director. ft, C. Peters, H. C. Balrd and W. L. Belby were the leading candidates. Mr. Peters won over Mr. Balrd by one vote, leaving Mr. Belby the low man In the race. J. W. Marshal moved and L C. Leavltt seconded the motion to make a 27-mlll levy for school purposes, which waa carried. Mr, Klr'kendall, who opposed the levy, looked up the law and showed that they could not legally vote over 2B mills. The motion was then rescinded and 35 mills were voted. A portion of the so hoc 1 building is not yet completed and it was agreed that the board should complete the building and issue war rants to caver ths costs, after using all of the 2S mills levy not expended for the run' nlng expenses of ths school. ' An auditing committee composed of A. T. Klopp, Cilery H. Westerfleld and R. Chap man to audit the accounts of the board, and D. L. Johnson, Dr. Leavltt and H. C.

Ths proposition to vote $6,000 bonds for the purchass of ths Peter Grovert property to be added to the school grounds was defeated by five votes. . NO HEARING FOR SOME WEEKS Aetloa fa Appraising; Water Works Rests and Little Can Be Heard of It. '1 do not think the Board of Water Works Appraisers will meet here until late in August or early In September," said General Manager Fairfield of the Omaha Water company. "We are making progress on the preparations of ths Inventories and schedules and ths end Is in sight It will require from six to eight weeks longer, however, before ws have ths listings for ths Florence pumping station completed. Ws have been turning over the schedules to ths city as soon as ws had any consid erable quantity finished In order that the showing may bs checked against, but have made no filings of the Florence plant." At the city hall there is a dearth of news concerning the water works appraisal- It has been Intimated several times in the legal department that the city will Insist upon a time for an appraisement before long, but. the summer promises to drag out without anything radical being done.

OMAHA, Juns I7.-TO ths Editor of Ths Bee: In ths Sunday Bee Dr. George L. Miller makes a chsrarteristlo attack on ths "rhetorical organiser of democratic de feat and disaster," and In language neither "chests nor courteous" proceeds to fill a column of Ths Bee's spsce with the usual result "vague and empty phrases." Those who have carefully read the genial doctor's articles for ths past quarter of a century or more will cheerfully agree with ths as sertion that hs never reaches the home plate unless he is talking about dogs or "aunty-monopoly." With the first two paragraphs many former Bryan adherents will find no serious objection. In their opinion ths Hon. W. J. Is about 300. 000 away from being a "commoner," Whatever that blasphemous expression may be. They will readily agree that his way of getting wealth Is just as "immoral" as that of those whom Dr. Miller has de fended and even praised. Hla latest pa tron saint of all that Is good in American democracy was ths late William C. Whit ney, of whose palatial residence he boasted without the faintest reference to the "sons of toll," who suffered by reason of his questionable transactions. It appears to be "Immoral" only for ths man who wrested the stats organisation from the Boyd-Morton-Miller aggregation of alleged democrats, who would not be sble to point out a democratlo principle It they saw one. Dr. Miller evidently does not agree with the article recently published by Alfred H. Lewis, In which he said that the "science of finance" is not ss intricate ss the science of soap boiling, for he dubs Mr. Bryan a rank populist who knows nothing about "sound finance." If thla waa not the millionth time the writer has seen this "vague" disposal of Mr. Bryan and his followers In print It might pass for what it is actually worth as a specimen of cheap cant; but aa neither the doctor nor his followers hava ever ventured Into the j mysterious realm of "democratlo princi ples," according to their lofty concep tion, we will be at sea until they "cough up. In another paragraph Dr. Miller tells us that Mr. Bryan la at least a good listener. His ears have been closs to ths ground and hs has heard ' ths oncoming locomotive, whose ponderous weight is to brush every thing aside and restore ths sound demo cracy of Seymour and Tilden. Treason! Where does the stuffed prophet of Prince ton come, InT And Seymour, too, rank flatlet and candldats on a greenback plat form. Will Dr. Miller please digest the democratic platform of 1868? Has hs for gotten ths democratlo speeches from 1864 to 1878, the first time "sound money" was an issue In twelve years T But Dr. Miller Is sore, and takes ad vantage of his sacred personags to vent his spleen against ths man who has put him out of business for all ttms to come. And If Ths Bes will favor a World-Herald compositor with the1 publication of this rambling screed, perhaps hs will make bold to tackle another man In this community who imagines he has become Immune to criticism the redemption of a promise made to a brilliant former Omahan, now residing in Chicago. J. H. CORNBTT. 28 IS North Twentieth street Reoraranisers vs. Dlsorsranlsers. VERONA, Neb., Juno 2T. To ths Editor of The Bee: In regard to the lets demo cratlo state convention you will notice that the predictions of the reorganlzers are com ing true. Mr. Bryan Is now fighting Parker, the strongest mm that can be nominated, and Is lining up with Hearst ths weakest. Mr. .Bryan is like the. jaost of uai e dpn't want another to win where he failed. The only difference Is that this trait is mors largely developed In him than in us ordi nary mortals. No man who wanted the democrats to win- would have made that Chicago and New Tork speech on the eve of a presidential campaign. No man that wanted the democrats to win In Nebraska this fall would have divided the Omaha democrats Into two hostile camps on the eve of a stats campaign. Winning In Ne braska, and especially In Omaha, - might develop another democratlo leader. Mr. Bryan don't believe In government by Injunction, yet In a way hs serves an injunction on every prominent democrat that he must follow htm or he will question his motives, call him dishonest and try to fire him out of the party. He wants a talker for a presidential candidate, yet he should know that we never again want a candidate with 10,000 silver speeches deliv ered for us to defend that time has proven wrong. : 1 He is fond of telling that we had better lose unless our principle is right This Is the story of all unsuccessful parties. The prohibition party has been talking principle for these many years. The Lord still lets them retain their principles, but he gives the other fellows ths votes and offices. Bryan's abuse of eastern democrats hurled through the columns of the dally s press tends to drive the young voters away from the democratlo party. Why follow a man that turned two presidential campaigns on an Issue that time has proven wrong and would again turn dictator and bring us a third Urns to defsat Mr. Bryan's committee will not select a temporary chairman of a stats convention unless hs will agree to sound the prabes of Bryan. And In addition to ths tem porary chairman at nearly every stats con vention we find a man imported to sound pralsea for Bryan and abuse eastern demo crats. JOHN MURTRT. The John Alexander Dowle of Polities. OMAHA, Juns 18. To ths Editor of The Bee: "The devil seems to pay and no pitch hot" with our rattled friend, Mr. Bryan, in Chicago. Mr. Vincent H. Per kins of the democratlo Tusoarora club, on the north aide, openly denounces him for "using ths democratlo party for his own selfish purposes," and Mr. Charles Steven son, president of ths Tuscarora club, agrses with Mr. Perkins and declares that the raving plutocrat of Lincoln "should be driven ' out of the St Louis convention." Both of these democratlo Indians havs been "the closeet friends" Mr. Bryan "ever had In Chiosgo." Mr. Perkins charges that hs Is trying to defeat the party and caps ths climax by oalllng -him ths John Alexander Dowle of politics. He says that Mr. Bryan holds ths same relation to the democratlo party that Elijah No. i holds to religion. This is rather rough on the rodentla and Dowle. but It is unspeakably cruel to the un speakable Bryan. I respectfully appeal to my charming friend, Constantino J. Smyth, and other apostles of ths csnlns creed of which they arc ths expounders, to come to ths Immediate relief and resoue of the only man who can savs the nation from Immediate destruction. Ths Tuscarora trlbs of Indiana never belonged to the true Iroquois except by baptism, but even my friend Constantino, who has been so long prostrated, may be able to sit up long enough to sound ths hswgag and scsre those Chicago red devils back Into ths swamps of ths stinking Calumet It Is proper that I should warn ths elect that grave trouble Is brewing In the old tents of ths righteous, and that something should bs dons to savs our great and glorious friend of "the common people" from fur ther Insult and "humiliation." In no event must this elocutionary mad bull of Baahan bs humiliated or bucked off the bridge by Chicago Tuscaroras or any other tribe sf democratic Indians. Never mind about ths iwtooo a year tnoom from hs Con- sooner and what the late J. Sterling Mor ton called "blab." Never mind about that 140,000 house and the regal state, with glided carriages and crowded retinue, from whoss dasillng environ menu Mr. Brysn grunts and groans hla harrowing sym pathy with ths sons of labor and the poor and downtrodden. Never mind about the liberality of the great man who hires cheap girls, thirty or forty in number, to do the work which belongs to msster printers In ths city of Lincoln In producing ths cheap Commoner at the price of starvation wages to ths tender young children of ths dependent poor. Glvs no heed to ths fact that with Mr. Bryan's political Invest ments In all kinds of politics, he has sud denly been enriched beyond the wildest dreams of men. Using the democratic party for his own selfish purposes, did you say, Mr. Tuscarora Perkins T Sines when did this born leader of men and roaring patriot break over ths heavenly breast works In this wayT ' " It is feared, my dear Perkins, that you have been reading the will of the lata Mr. Bennett which Mr. Bryan wrote himself, with that tell-tale Interlineation which, In case of accident, so fixed things that ths 150,000 that was bequeathed by Mr. Bennett to Mr. Bryan should gi to "his heirs." But, listen a moment my dear Mr. Indian, did not Mr. Bryan give up 175,000 of Widow Bennett's money which he had been carry ing around loose In his spacious pockets for so long, when ths court ordered him to do It, and not before, like a gentleman? All this, however, has nothing Whatever to do with ths main question, which Is precisely thla, towlt: Is William Jennings Brysn, orstor, statesman, plutocrat populist snd blackguard, who publicly called O rover Cleveland "a bunco steerer" and Judgs Alton B. Parker a "fraud," a political Hot tentot or la he simply an ordinary shyster who, under ths stolen name of democrat "wears the livery of heaven to servs the devil Inr . And, by ths way, I notice the proclama tion of Mr. William H. DeFrance, a dele gate to the St. Louis convention, who was chosen at the late Douglas county demo cratic primaries to go to the national con vention and "die," if necessary, for the Kansas City platform. But Mr. Do Francs says he has no notion of dying on that sacred issue. He says that Mr. Bryan and all the tumble bugs of politics, which Mr. Bryan so. strongly resembles jn rolling over himself, "do not Insist upon the re iteration of ths bimetallic plank.". I am using his own words In his yesterday's In terview in The Bee which was slways ths essence, backbone and real marrow, of ths Kansas City nonsense. Mr. Ds Franoe, then, waa chosen a delegate to St. Louis from this big aistrlct on ' false pretenses, or he Is guilty of fiat repudiation of the resolutions of ths state convention which elected him as a delegate to St. Louis. On whioh long horn of this dilemma does this fins specimen of Bryaniam choose to hang himself f , Mr. Ds France says that all ha wants st Bt Louis is a "definite declaration that will show our position sgalnst corporate greed and special privileges .to. the. trusts." "Angels and ministers of grace defend us!" And has it corns to this small -denouement after all this raving and roaring mad ness of eight long years of democratlo de moralisation and disaster? There is not a school boy 14 years old, outside of a south em plantation, In all thla broad land, who does not know, and even Mr. De France himself must -know, that there Is not a democrat now living in the United States who ever would, or ever could offer a shadow of objection to sush a declaration, as he how says, in a cowardly backdown, win satisfy ths Bryan contingent to the national convention from1 this disgusted tats.

Affairs for Vales, Tuesday morning's session of ths Interna tional Association of Journeymen Horse shoers' convention was devoted to the' ad dress of the president and first vice presi dent The report of the" president gave a comprehensive outline of the work of the association since Its ' last meeting at Louisville two years ago. "These two years have been momentous ones in union labor circles and. the close relation that ' the journeymen horseshoers held to (the various organisations, both In a fraternal and ordinary business way, has caused the association to be more or less Interested In nearly all of the labor con troversies. The association has, however, prospered In the main, and Is In the best condition of Its history Just at this time, and the outlook for the future la encourag ing." ... - 8uch Is contained In the report, which goes on advocating, that ths association proceed on a conservative basis and thereby continue to merit publlo esteem. ' The' report of the vice president was slong similar lines and both reports were greeted with ths deepest, Interest' sAid atten tion. : t Tuesday afternoon the biennial reports of the secretary and. treasurer were sub mitted, almost the entire afternoon being occupied in their reading. This morning's session will bs de voted to the discussion of the reports of ths officers.

MONEY FOR THE ELEVATOR Twenty Thousand DoUars Mow la Hand for Terminal Itruotare by the Farmers. About 120,000 has been subscribed toward ths building of a farmers' terminal elevator 111 this city. C Vincent who Is pushing ths project is absent In the stats looking after mors subscriptions, and a number have come In sines hs left It is believed that enough money has been raised to assure ths early building of ths elevator here and ths only detail which remains to bs adjusted la the ohoics of a location. Sines It has been found so easy to get ths farmers' organlxs-Uons of ths stats Inter ested in the plan it has been decided to build another terminal elevator at Kansas City to handle the grain bought by the farmers' elevator companies tributary to that city. Ths building to be put up In Omaha, It Is given out, will bs modern In every respect It will be furnished with the tubular system whloh Is In use in the larger markets where large quantities of grain are handled. Ths Omaha building will be put up before work Is begun; upon ths Kansas City structure. Mr.. Vincent probably will return to Omaha about the first of next week and it is thought probable he will then give out the date on which work on the flew build ing will be begun. It is not thought local grain men will look upon ths project with much favor for ths reason that It threatens to cut Into ths business of ths other ele vators located here.
