MAHONEY AND JOE BARTLE1
Chairman of Oivio 'federation and Loter of
State- Treasury.
fACTS DEVELOPED IN LIBEL HEARING
roaecnttoa of Edward Hoiemtrr
Before Judge Vlnaontaaler Urlnaa
Oat Story of Connection of He
former with Defaulter.
After a hearing In tne county court Fri
day morning Edward Kosewater waa bound
over to the district court In a personal bond
for 5600 In the caae brought against him by
Timothy J. Mahoney, head of the Civic
Federation. I
The first complaint had been withdrawn
and a new one tiled. Mr. Rosewater mude
a voluntary , apperance and his counsel.
W. . Connell, asked that the record how
this fact. Plaintiff was the only witness
heard In the case, and after his attorney
had developed the facts as they allege
them to be, Attorney Connell took the wit
ness for proas-examination.
It was brought out that there Is In fact
no such officer as president of the Civic
Federation; that Mr. Mahoney la merely
chairman of the executive committee,
and that this committee transacts
alt of the business of the federation,
which has only held three meetings during
Its existence. The Federation Is not In
corporated, he testified, nor Is there any
compact signed by members. Any con
tributor of money Is considered a member,
and n' such reraou has ever been denied
participation in Its proceedings. No roll
of members Is kept.
Mr. Connell brought out that the article
complained of was printed as a reply to a
Utter written by C. 8. I lay ward, a mem
ber of the executive committee of the Fed
eration, but witness denied that he had
been consulted about or knew anything of
the Hayward letter before It was published,
lie admitted that though the aleged libel
was published July 31. he had taken no
action thereon for six months, and during
that time be was on speaking terms with
Mr. Roeewater. Then the cross-examination
was directed to bringing out the par
ticulars', of the famous Interview In the
governor's office at Lincoln, which spurred
Mr. Mahoney to Institute the present action.
Counsel tor plaintiff objected to this and
the opurt shut It out.
Maaoaey'a Defease of Hartley.
Mr. Connell then directed ins questions to
the trial of the defaulting state treasurer,
Hartley. In Douglas county In May, sVl, In
which trial Mr. Mahqney was one of de
fendant's counsel Witness said he had
been approached by Judge E. M. Bartlett
and retained to assist In the empaneling of
the Jury, to sit In the trlsl and to make
an argument to the Jury. Asked if he had
been retained because of his acquaintance
'and Influence with possible Jurors, the wit
ness said he could not tell as to that.
Questioned as to the payment of his fee,
witness said he had been given $200 in
cash by Hartley at a conference In the
Henshaw hotel and had received $100 more
In cash during the progress of the trial.
Later he was given a draft for i-M drawn
by Hartley on a person In AtkliiBon, Nt'b.,
which came back unpaid. The extra $50
was testified to as having been paid out
partly to hire a detective, one Olmstead, to
watch certain parties, but the court re
fused to allow a question as to the identity
of these parties.
There was also a check for drawn
by Hartley on a bank In Butte, Neb., but
he could not tell, he suid, whether It wns
drawn on a deposit of state funds made
in the name of Bartley or for his per
sonal account. In the following March,
while In the Douglas county Jail, the de
faulting treasurer had given him $100 in
cash, to which he had added $50 und' bought
In at sheriff's sole the business houses be
tween the Hoard of Trade building and the
Patterson block. Hartley had acquired an
equity In this property In a trade for some
land. Mr. Mahoney collected the rents from
the property, also $1,000 from a former
agent of the property, and after he had
acted for Hartley In the state supreme
court he presented a bill for $2,350. To this
Hartley took exception as being too hitch,
and the witness had thrown off the $50
and given Bartley a check for that amount
and closed the account. The $360 repre
sented all the Income from the property
after payment of Mahoney's fees.
ICxnnilnlna the Libel.
Mr. Conr.ell then went over with tho wit
ness the article complained of us libelous,
sentence by sentence. The substantial truth
of the statements made waa admitted ex
cept as to receiving I. O. U's, and appro
priating more than his fee amounted to.
On this phase Mr. Connell and witness dif
fered as to what Is an I. O. U. lie wuuld
not admit, either, that The Bee bad taken
the lead and borne the brunt of the tight
to bring the defaulting treasurer to Justice.
Mr. Mahoney could not say that Mr. Hay-
ward had been prominent In that effort, but
he did admit that he (Mahoney) hud de
fended Bartley In court and had solicited
signatures to a petition for his pardon.
At the conclusion of the cross-examination
Mr. Connell said he did not care to
make an argument. He would submit the
case to the court on the facts as developed,
contending that no libel had been i-hown
and that the article was not libelous. For
plaintiff Attorney Gurley also omitted argu
ment beyond the statement that the article
was libelous. Without more ado the court
announced he would hold there was proba
ble cause and would bind defendant over to
the district court, and Mr, Rosewater gave
hU personal bond in the sum of $500.

BOSTON'. Jan. S7.-The speed of the
cruiser Maryland on Its trill today, .ac
cording to official figures, was 2.'. 306 knots.

The Maryland was found to have quirk

lished a record for throwing of the helm
hard over, when It described a figure "8"
at the conclusion of the official run. Dur

GRAIN LEFT IN NEBRASKA
Percentage of Last Tear's Crop Still Held
by the Farmers,
WHEAT NEARLY ALL GONE TO MARKET
Only a Little Corn Has Left the
State as Farmers Are Look
lag for Hlsher Prlcea
for Grain.
The best figures obtainable place the per
centage of Nebraska's last wheat crop in
the farmers' hands at 25 per cent. Of the
oats crop something like 37 per cent re
mains in first hands and more than 80 per
cent of the corn crop Is yet In the state.
The wheat crop of 1904 In the state of
Nebraska was 22,000,000 bushels. No ac
curate estimate can be had of the amount
yet In the state, but It Is presumably half
the crop. An estimate made January 1 by
reports from country elevators placed the
amount in farmers' hands then at 25 per
cent. This would be 5,500,000 bushels. The
amount has been decreased since the first
of the month by sales to elevator stations,
perhaps amounting to 1,000,000 bushels. Seed
would have to be taken out of the re
mainder, which would not leave a large
amount to be sold.
An estimate made at the first of the year
placed 1,500,000 bushels of the ldo3 corn crop
still in cribs and elevators. This is un
usually small considering the heavy crop of
last year. Hut a large amount was fed.
The last crop was figured at 2o9.O0O,OuO,
und It Is the consensus of opinion only a
small part of It has been moved out of the
state. The estimates vary. One elevator
company states not more than 1 per cent
of tho new crop has left the state. Another
house believes 80 per cent remains. The
South Platte country has shipped prac
tically none yet, ts its crop was not very
good. The North Platte is better and ship
ping some. The well-to-do farmers have
been holding for higher prices, the market
during the last two months not being as
good as they have enjoyed previously.
Effect of Ilate War.
Uraln men are of rather varying opinion
as to the rate war.
"It won't do the Omaha market nor the
farmers any good," said one dealer. - "The
farmers won't get 'any more for their
grain during the disturbances. Neither
will we. it will simply mean the roads
will carry the corn for the amount less than
the old rates which they have reduced
them, and the market will fall Just that
much. The railroads will lose the differ
ence." "The farmers will get Just that much
more," said another broker. "In these
days of quick dissemination of news the
farmers learn at once of any reduction In
rates. Then they say, 'No you don't. Mo
mure corn without so much added. We are
not going to sell you at the old price when
you are getting it carried by the roads so
much cheaper.' "
A third broker thinks such unsettled con
ditions are very bad for Omaha, "We
stem never to be able to get rates left the
same for any two weeks. Every change
means a readjustment of our market In
relation to others, as the rates make the
situation. We have to learn what we can
do and the farmers have to learn what to
expect. Then away the whole thing goes
and we have a new set of rates."
No. 4 said: "Chicago Is kicking, nat
urally, at losing a good slice of its busi
ness. Chicago Is the most important mar
ket town, and when It gets up and paws the
air the rallroodu have to make a showing
They will cut rates a little while and the
men who have money in all of them will
get worried, and then we shall have a new
agreement with tho whole thing perhaps
about as It Is now. The eastern roads
have a handicap to meet In fighting the
gulf, and I think they will never be able to
do it. From Omaha to Gulveston is l.ia
miles. From Omaha to Port Arthur Is
only 896 miles. From Omaha to Phila
delphia Is 1,314 miles. New York Is further.
That gives the nearest gulf port an ad
vantage over the nearest Atlantic port of
328 miles. Not considering distance, jfk
southern roads have smaller operating ex
penses, through less grados, cheaper wages
and other considerations."
