WATER ORDINANCE LAID OVER
Proposition to Out Bates Deferred Until
Appraisement is MsdY
PRICES TO BE BASED ON TOTAL COST
Elmaiaa Is Only Member of Council
Who Totes la the Negative
I Postponing This
Action.
With only President Zlmman voting In
the negative and with Cpuncllmen Bark
and O Brlen absent the council decided In
committee session yesterday afternoon to
take no action on the ordinance cutting
water rate until after the appraisers hud
made a report on the! value of the plant.
Councilman ' 8chroeder, chairman of the
committee on fire, water ' and police, re
ported that the committee had agreed the
ordinance should be placed on file, because
the members could not tell how much the
water works Is worth. In their opinion the
rates to consumers should be charged on
the basis of the value ot the works.
"If the water works la' worth only $3,000,
00 or less) the proposed prices are too high,"
said Councilman Schroedcr, "but If the
valuation. Is considerably above this, they
are too low. 1 think reductions should- be
. made, but do not see how wo can make
any calculations until we know what Is
represented as an Investment In the water
works."
Judge J. M. Woolworth, attorney for the
water company, urged that the ordinance
be laid over, saying the appraisers would
meet again December $8 and that It should
not require more than, ten days for a re
port 'Nash's Old Proposition.
Councilman Dyball as chairman of the
( street lighting committee brought up the
ante-election proposition from the Omaha
Electric ' Light and Power company pro
posing a cut In the street lamps from
$94.60 to $75 In lieu ot a new five-year con
tract to be closed at once, annulling the
present oontract, which has a year to run.
No decision was made after A. C. Powers,
representing the light company, said the
offer., wks open until January 1. Councils
. man Dyball said If the electric light con
tract waa extended propositions should be
asked from the gas and gasoline lighting
companies, and Councilman Huntington
aid both gas and electric lighting con
tracts should be extended so as to expire
at the same time, if anything was done.
Evans wanted the proportion put on file,
but received no support.
The ejectrlc light company presented its
bill of $2,500 for the annual Ak-Sar-Ben
street lighting and it was placed In the
hands of Councilman. Huntington for In
vestigation with reference to whether there
is any money to pay It or not.
The council held a special meeting' to
tart an appropriation ordinance on the
way for the purpose of paying amounts
to John F. Dally for sower work, the Ne
braska Bltullthlo company for paving and
the transfer of funds so firemen and street
cleaners can be paid their November sala

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 6.-The marked
Independence of the attitude of various
classes since the semstvo meeting Is Illus
trated by the action taken by the bar as
sociation today on the occasion of the an
niversary of the codification of the laws
under Alexander III. The association as
sembled at the regular time set apart for
this purpose by the government, but found
the doors closed by order of the procurator
of the court of appeals, corresponding with
attorney general. Thereupon the $00 mem
bers marched up Newsky Prospect to the
town halt. There the president declined
to preside, declaring that the meeting was
Illegal, but the members refused to dis
perse, elected a chairman and passed a
resolution censuring the procurator, which
will be officially lodged with Interior Min
ister Sviatopolk-Mlrsky. Then the asso
ciation entered into a general discussion ot
the causes why many of the laws passed
forty years ego remained dead letters and
adopted resolutions declaring that the laws
could not be In living force and protect
cltisens against misrule until the Invollably
of domicile and freedom of the press, con
science and association were guarded.
Coaslder Passport Regalstloas.
The commission which has been instituted
to revise the passport regulations and to
which the question of the recognition with
out discrimination of American passports
has been referred by the Foreign office, has
been enlarged and strengthened by Interior
Minister Sviatopolk-Mlrsky. M. Malevsky
Malavllch succeeding Baron Tanble as rep
resentative of the Foreign office. The com
mission baa not yet reached the question
raised oy the Unlted'States.
The Novoe Vremya, discussing the sub
ject, contends that so long as the present
Jewish laws are In force In the empire It Is
Impossible to grant foreign Jews greater
privileges than granted to native Jews.
Besides, the paper argues, "from the fre
quency of lynchings and the general treat
ment of negroes In the south," that there
Is more race prejudice In the United States
than In Russaia.
CHARGE FRAUD IN AWARDS
national Commission Will Probe Into
Matter of Premiums at
St. Loots.
ST. LOUIS, Deo. 6. In a letter to Major
J. C. Pangborn, president of the United
Exhibitors' association, made public today,
President Thomas H. Carter of the Na
tional World Fair's commission, declared
that "most grave and serious charges of
corruption lit connection with the awarding
of certain premiums have been filed" with
the national commission.
The letter, after quoting that part of
the act of congress making an appropria
tion for the exposition, which provides
"that the appointment of all judges and
examiners for the exposition and the
awarding of premiums, if any, shall alll be
done and performed by the exposition com
pany, subject, however, to the approval
of the national commission, created by sec
tion t of this act," continues aa follows:
Under the rules adopted by the company
and approved by the commission, the group
jurors were to be appointed by the com-
Jiany before August 1, 1904. None of the
urors were submitted to the commission
or approval, in accordance with this provi
sion of the rules and regulations. A num
ber of those who acted were not sub
mitted to the commission 'or approval
until after they had performed their func
tions and departed from the grounds, and
many of them have not been approved.
Most crave snd serious chimes of eor-
; ruptlon In conneclon with the awarding
oi certain premiums nave D?en nieu wan
the commission In the form of affidavits
and otherwise. In view of such cha ges
and the failure of ths company to otieerve
trie law in ine appointment and subn.ls-
slon of the jurors for approval by the com
l mission, the right of this body to livestl
. pate adequately supported charges of
fraud, bribery or misconduct, amounting to
1 fraud on the part of persons making or I i
fl uen dug sward Is maintained by the coin
. miss on to be a ouiy precedent to the act
approving awards resting under the bur
den of any such charges. With this view
the exposltlrn company takes Issue, and
thus fur hue not delivered any of the
awards to the commission for approval.
The awards reatlnK under charges of a
serious character are, fortunately, not
nunurous, but, regardless of the r i umber,
the commission has refused and wl con
tinue to refuse to app-ove th m u ull the
charges shall have been fully Investigated
and cleared up.
As to the great volume of the awards, the
c mm s I n Is and has bn pre ared to
act Dromrtlv. but ud to the nr eent tl-ne
; the company has not pr s nted to the com
mission any awaras tor app oval.
Very T -f pemfully.
THOMA8 H. CARTER President.
j President Francis of the exposition com
pany refused to make any statement re
garding the statements In President Car
ter's letter.
President Carter has also caused to be
sent to President D. R. Francis of the
exposition company a letter explaining the
position of the national committee In re
gard to the awards, an exoerpt of which
follows:
The commission cannot permit the use
of Us name, nor the name of any of Us
officers or members, In connection with
any diploma, certificate or other evidence
of award while any part of the proceed
ings rest under adequately supported and
uninvestigated charges of bribery, at
tempted bribery, corruption, fraud or mis
conduct amounting to fraud.
I hereby notify you to refrain from using
the name of the commiBsion or of any
of Its officers or members In or connected
with any diploma, certificate or other evi
dence of award for any exhibit.
HELENA, Mont., Deo. 6. Former Sena
tor Thomas H. Carter, who Is now In
Helena, when asked this evening about
the meaning of the letter to Pangborn)
said It was purely explanatory, in reply
to Major Pangborn who, acting for the
exhibitor, was desirous of knowing when
the awards would be officially announced.
Mr. Carter said:
There were about 26,000 awards alto
gether, and of that number, in about fifty
Cases, there have been charges filed, baoked
by affidavits of corrupt practices. The ex-
rosltlon company has not yet delivered
he list of awards to the national commit
tee. I presume for the reason that It Is
Investigating the charges that have bean
filed.

other tanks, and In a short tlms there were
ten distinct explosions, filling the building
with fire and smoke. The garage Is In ths

Kinkald act and provides for section home

the river.
"One hundred and sixty acres are not
enough for a family there," said Represet

given a homesteader. My bill will affect
all lands outside of forest reserves and
lands reserved for Irrigation purposes. If
enacted Into law It will add many thou

section homestead plan has evidently
worked well In Nebraska and it should
tried in our state. This Is one of the meas
ures to which special attention will be paid
by the South Dakota delegation at this ses

been brought to bear on the members of

ALLEGED VALUABLE PICTURES
Genuine Romney Believed to Have
Been Discovered In English
Miner's Cottage.
NEW YORK, Dec. $. What Is believed
to be a genuine Romney, done In that
artist's best period, has just been sold at
auction for $34,000. says a London des
patch to the Times. The palntllng was
part of the estate of a man who lived in
a miner's cottage at White Haven, Cum
berland, and who had a hobby for buying
and cleaning pictures. Every picture ha
cleaned he spoiled.
For some reason he did not clean the
Romney, and after his death It was found
tied up with two other pictures which,
with the Romney, he had bought for less
than $r. One of the three la believed also
to be a Gainsborough, though It brought
only $200 at the sale.
The Romney canvas measures 60 by 47
Inches. It Is a portrait of two children
walking In a landscape, accompanied by
a little terrier. '
The Millard Monument.
A monument deserving of more than or
dinary notice, haa lately been erected upon
the family lot of Senator J. H. Mll.ard In
Prospect Hill cemetaiy. It Is a sarcopha
gus in design, made of Westerlh, Rhode
I'land, granite a beautiful memorial of
e vet lasting material.
A feature of the monument Is the very
high degree of perfection In which the sim
ple 'general design is carried out and the
sharp and w II defined lines, wh ch are a:
a classlo order. Columns with caived cap
itals, Ionic style, at either end and an an
cient Egyptian winged dlec, which, accord
ing to mythology, was a "protecting gen
ius," usually placed over ths door of a
tomb or temple, excellently csrvtd in re
lief, on either side. The two mentioned
car Ingi are espeo ally noteworthy.
The work throughout reflects great credit
upon the builders, Messrs. Kimball Bros.,
of Lincoln, Neb. The else of ths monu
ment Is also somewhat of a feature, ths
base being fourteen feet by ten feet snd the
weight forty tens.
The monument was designed by Thomas

EXPRESS SAFE IS ROBBED
Ifsuengsr an isnta Fe Trail Shot Near
Difgett, Califsrnia.
RUMOR THAT THE BOOTY IS LARGE
Report that Through Safe Contained
Pension Money to Amount of
WO.OOO-Offlrera Say ' It
Waa Set Opened.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Dec. 6. -The Wells
Fargo express car on the Atchison, Topcka
sV Santa Fe overland passenger train No.
1, .west-bound, was entered early today
somewhere between Needles and Daggett,
and Eva O. Roberts, the express messenger,
shot and fatally wounded and the safo
rifled.
The Wells-Fargo company was expecting
a large shipment of United States pension
money, totalling $200,000, It Is said, and It
Is possible that this shipment may have
been on the train. It Is known that the
local officials were greatly exercised over
the robbery and at Barstow placed a sub
stitute messenger on board ths car with or
ders to guard everything In It with the
greatest secrecy. Officials refused to dis
cuss the reported shipment of pension
money In any way. The shipment. If sent,
would have been In the main safe. It Is
not certain, however, that this safe was
not entered, as the robber rifled the pockets
of the messenger as he lay on the floor of
the car and took away his keys to the
two" safes. It is also reported that more
than one man was concerned in the holdup.
Assistant Superintendent Prldham, of the
Wells-Fargo company, stated late this
afternoon that the amount taken from the
express car will not exceed $400. He would
not say that the United States pension
money was not In the car, but stated posi
tively that the main safe was not entered
at all.
Robbery Discovered at Daggett.
The robbery was not discovered until the
train reached Daggett. Conductor Hawes
Opened the door of the express car at
Daggett and found Messenger Roberts lying
on the floor of the car In a semi-conscious
condition and the contents of the rifled
safo scattered about the car. Roberts was
so seriously wounded that he was unable
to tell how the robbery occurred, except
to say that he had discovered someone on
the blind baggage shortly after the tmln
left Needles and had started to open the
door when the man, whom he took to be a
negro, sprang Inelde. Before the messenger
could draw his revolver the bandit opened
fire, wounding Roberts mortally. The bul
lets struck Roberts In the left breast, pass
Ing through his body. Roberts fell to the
floor and the robber Immediately went to
the open way safe and took what he wanted
out ot the contents. He then opened the
door and leaped out. Roberts waa so
badly hurt that he was unable to make
an outcry.
The bolt on the door at the end of the
express car was broken, showing that the
robber had used fores In gaining an en
trance. The Interior of the car Indicated
that the messenger had made a game re
sistance and grappled with the robber be
fore being overpowered and finally shot by
him.
After rifling the safe the robber leaped
from the car while ths train was running
at full speed.
Colored Tramps Buspeetsd.
The bandit Is believed to be one of a
number of colored tramps who have been
around Daggett since the construction work
of the Salt Lake road reached that place.
The way safe contained envelopes hold
ing money and checks which were being
sent to the general offices by station agents
along the line.
Messenger Roberts was brought to this
city on board the train, which arrived
shortly after noon today.
Roberts was a resident of Los Angeles
and was one of the oldest and trusted
employes of the Wells Fargo company.
Word was received here late today that a
colored tramp was under arrest at Bar
stow who Is believed to be the man who
committed the robbery.
Assistant Superintendent Prldham of the
Wells, Fargo company states that the
amount taken from the way safe was only
a few hundred dollars. The principal treas.
ure safe, he said, was locked and ths
robber was unable to force an entrance.

JtRV CEMsXRES DEPITY WAP.DEX
Killing; of Convict at Sloua Falls Said
to Bo I'nnceessary.
SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Dec. t. (Special.)
Something of a sensation has been created
here by the action of the coroner's Jury
in the rase of Robert White, the prisoner
who was shot In ths Sioux Falls peniten
tiary, while making a murderous assault
upon Deputy Warden Cooley, returning u
verdict In which Deputy Warden Cooley
was censured for the death of White,
which, In the opinion of the coroner's Jury,
"should and could have been avoided. '
The coroner's Jury also recommends that
the grand jury, which Is now In session In
this city, "investigate Into this matter
forthwith."
There Is not the slightest grounds for be
lieving that the grand Jury will return an
Indictment against Deputy Warden Cooley,
who has the reputation of being one of
the best and most conscientious men who
have ever been connected with ths Sioux
Falls penitentiary In an official capacity.
White, owing to his extremely ugly dis
position which led him to create a reign
of terror among the other Inmates of the
prison, as well as among the guards, had
bad records In other penitentiaries. While
confined In the Lincoln, Neb., penitentiary
he made a murderous assault on a guard,
who is said to have afterwards died of his
Injuries.
He had been notified repeatedly that tho
guards would take no chances with him,
and that If he attempted any further as
saults he would be shot. Immediately prior
to the fatal shot being fired by Guard
Frank Hogan White had defied the offi
cers from his cell and poured out upon
them a torrent of foul abuse.
White's death, while regretted, was the
result of an accidents He was shot In the
thigh for the purpose of wounding him.
but, as might rtot happen again In 1,000
canes where men are shot In the fleshy
part of ths leg, the bullet glanced and
entered his abdomen, causing death.

How It Was Made and Ratainsd
In Omaha.
A good reputation is not easily earned,
and It was only by bard, consistent work
among- our citizens that Doan's Kidney
Pills won their way to the proud dis
tinction attained In this locality. The
public endorsement of scores of Omaha
residents bos rendered Invaluable serv
ice to the community. Read what this
citizen says;
Mr. George McKenzle of 4804 North
24th street, says: "My bark ached and
symptoms of some disturbance of the
kidney secretions existed. Procuring
Doan's Kidney Pills at Kubn &. Co.'s
drug store, corner 13th and Douglas
streets, I took a course of the treatment
A dose or two relieved me, and finally
the annoyance ceased. When Doan's
Kidney Pills helped a man of lay age,
they certainly can be depended upon to
bring speedy assistance to those more
susceptible to the action of medicine."

PATTERSON CASE RESUMED
Three Jurors Selected for the Second Trial
of lllegsd Murderess.
ONE HUNDRED TALESMEN EXAMINEE
Defendant Takes Lively laterest la
the Proceedings and Says Sba
Wants Mo Old Men oa
the Jury. j
NEW YORK, Doc. 8. The second trial of
Nan Patterson, accused of the murder of
Caesar Young, a wealthy bookirmkrr. In a
cab In West Broadway six months nro,
commenced today In the criminal branch
of the supreme court and when adjourn
ment was tuken for the day throe Jurots
had been chosen.
Miss Patterson, who has been ill with
tonsllitls for several days, appeared In ex
cellent spirits. Her manner was very vi
vacious and the nervousness noticed during
the progress of the first trial had entirely
disappeared. She was seated by her aged
father.
After nine talesmen had been examined
and refused, Justice Davis, Who will pre
side at ths trial. Intervened and assumed
the role of examiner. Miss Patterson care
fully considered the capabilities of each
talesman and frequently suggested ques
tions for her counsel to propound. She ex
pressed a desire that no old men be ao
cepted.
The men accepted were: Thomas 1L
Harmer, receiving teller of a bank, who will
be foreman; William J. Lee, a manufac
turer, nnd Thomas Farrcll, a merchant.
Over 100 men were examined during the
day. The work ot selecting a Jury will
continue tomorrow.
Contrary to the usual order of things. It Is
expected that the trial will attract even
more widespread Interest than did the first.
Comparatively little of the evidence which
the prosecution claims to have had was
presented when the previous trial waa
brought to an abrupt termination by tho
serious Illness of a Juror. The defense had
not even shown Its hand. The case had
scarcely passed the preliminary stages whea
ths Interruption came. Not one of the sev
eral persons frequently spoken of as "stag
witnesses" had been called to the stand.
