The situation In the vaccination contro
versy became somewhat complicated yes
terday, as Judge Scott of the superior
court, on petition of the advocates of the
"Internal" or homeopathic method. Issued
a temporary restraining order enjoinlne; the
Hoard of Education from excluding from
the public svhools any teacher or pupil
prrsnntlng a certificate of vaccination duly
signed by a reputable physician.
The suit was brought by Sheriff Ed Can
ning "for himself and In behalf of others
similarly situated, too numerous, to men
tion," and the Board of Education and the
Individual mombr-rs comprising It are
named as defendants. The attorneys ap
pearing for C'Htinlng are Congressman
Walter I. Smith, Jacob Sims and A. T.
Fllcklnger, and Dr. A. P. Hanchctt signed
the bond necessary for the Issuance of the
temporary restraining order.
The suit Is the sequel to a number of
conferences held by the advocates of the
homeopathic method of vaccination and Is
brought for the purpose, If possible, of
testing the light of the authorities to dis
criminate against this method and to in
slst upon vaccination by scarification. The
petition sets forth that Walter Canning,
a son of the plaintiff, who Is attending high
school, and numerous other pupils had
prose n tod certificates duly signed by
reputable physicians, but the certificates
had been refused and the pupils presenting
them refused admleslon and excluded from
the schools.
Board In a Tta-ht Place.
The Issuance of the Injunction by Judge
Scott placed the Board of Education In an
ambiguous position. On one hand it was
confronted with the mandatory writ Issued
by Judge Green of the superior court, or
dering it In direct and explicit terms to ex
clude from the schools all teachers and
pupils not vaccinated according to the
rules of the State Board of Health, which
means by scarification, while on the other
it faced the Injunction Issued by Judge
Scott of the superior court restraining it
from debarring from the school such
teachers and pupils who had been vac
cinated by other method than that pre
scribed by the rules of the State Board
of Health.
In Its quandary the board appealed to '
Judge Wheeler of the district court for
an order to restrain Mr. Canning from
putting in force his restraining order
until It could have a hearing In the mat
ter. Judge Wheeler, however, declined to
make any such order, holding that one
was not required. He advised the attor
ney for the Board of Education that the
mandatory writ Issued by Judge Green took
precedence of the temporary restraining
order Issued by Judge Scott and that the'
board was not called upon to obey the In
junction so far as It conflicted with the
mandatory writ. The Board of Education,
Judge Wheeler stated, could not be put
Into contempt by one court for carrying out
the order of another court.
All of the teachers excluded from the
schools Monday have complied with the
orders of the Board of Education and
have been vaccinated -by the prescribed
method of scarflcatlon and resumed their
work yesterday. A number of the pupils
also who had been sent home Monday re
turned yesterday and presented certificates
showing they had been duly "scarified."
Developments are looked for today, as it
was announced yesterday afternoon that
many of the pupils vaccinated by the .in
ternal method would present themselves
on the opening of the schools this morning
for readmlsslon.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Perhacs the most
Interesting development In the testimony
today In the trial of Nan Patterson,
charged with the murder of Caesar Young,
came when Coroner'a Physician O'llanlon
took the witness stand for the prosecution
and said In reply to questions, that he had
changed his opinion that" Young had com
mitted suicide. Dr. O'Hanlon performed
the autopsy on Young's body. In his tes
timony today he said: "My present opinion
Is not the opinion I reported to Coroner
Brown."
Counsel for the defense, Lawyer Levy,
asked the doctor: "Did you . report this
case to Coroner Brown as one of suicide?"
When Dr. O'Hanlon replied in the affirma
tive, Mr. Levy asked:
"Do you now say that In your best Judg
ment It Is a case of suicide?"
"No, I won't say that."
"Did you not say so once?" was asked.
"I did, but I think now It Is a case for
the Jury to decide. I thought at the time
that I detected powder marks on the hands
of Caesar Young."
Assistant District Attorney Rnnd then
produced the report of Dr. O'Hanlon, which
did not define the case as one of suicide,
and the doctor said that he simply ex
pressed the suicide opinion In conversation
with Coroner Brown.
After some further questioning Mr. Rand
asked the witness If he still held the
same opinion that he expressed to Coroner
Brown and Dr O'Hanlon replied:
"I will only any thus, my opinion now Is
not what It. was when I talked to Coroner
Brown." '
This Incident came at the close of the
day's proceedings In the trial.
When court opened Miss Patterson ap
peared In a black and white checked cos
tume, which she has worn during days of
this and previous trials.
At today's hearing Police Captain
Sweeney told of a conversation he had
had with Miss Patterson soon after her
arrest, in which she said she had put her
hand In Young's pocket after the shot had
been nred, had looked at the revolver and
then dropped it bock In the pocket.
. The scenes on West Broadway, where the
shooting took place, were gone over by wit
nesses and the cab driver, who was on the
box when Young was shot, waa on the
stand, but the testimony did not differ
materially from that at the previous trial.
When Frederick Michaels, the cab driver,
waa asked why he did not look in the cab
when he heard the shot fired, he replied:
"It was not my place. Suppose I had
looked In and got ehot?"
Counsel for J. M. Smith and hla wife
served notice today on District Attorney
Jerome that he will make a motion to
morrow before Judge Foster in general ses
sions for the dismissal of the Indictments
gainst his clients. In his affidavit the
lawyer saya that there is no evmejice 10
show that his clients conspired against
Caesar Young and that the evidence of
Stern, the pawnbroker, does not in any
way connect them with the case, that most
If not all of the evidence given Deiore mo
grand Jury waa in response to leading
questions, and waa really the testimony of
Assistant District Attorney Rand and not
the witnesses, and that It would not be ad
mitted in any court.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, April 25. (Speclal.)-The
report of the railroad commissioners, which
is Just out, is attracting attention to the
fact that the executive council will In two
months make the annual assessment of
railroad property. The first two years of
Governor Cummins' administration and the
present executive council there was added
about 86.000,000 each year to the railroad
assessment. The governor Invited In many
prominent people over the state and thus
not only tho railroad attorneys were
heard, but representatives of the .people.
Tho hearings became very animated. The
report of the railroad commissioners shows
that during the last year the total ear
nings of the railroads of the state Increased
about $500,000, but that the operating ex
penses Increased nearly 82,000,000 and that
the net earnings were therefore decreased
about $1,500,000. But the gross earnings for
1903 showed a decrease of about 12,000,000
over that of 1902 and the net earnings a
decrease of $2,760,000, and yet the executive
council added $5,000,000 to the assessment.
It Is conceded by the railroad men that
the report of the railroad commission has
no bearing on what the executive council
will do.

Equitable Life Assurance society as one
of the committee to Investigate into Its
affairs, snld today that It was not true, as
reported, that he had refused to act with
this committee because of any difference
or friction with any of its members. Mr.
Il'IU said that his own affairs took tip so
much of his time that he had no spar
moments to devote to other matters. The
Equitable affair, he added, Is a matter of
great Importance and he felt that he mut
decline to serve on the committee unless
ho could participate In a very thorough
examination of the society's affairs. He
had no doubt, he said, that the committee
headed by Mr. Frlck will leave nothing
undone In the examination. Mr. Hill said
he felt some time ago that the time might
come when the policyholders Of the
Equitable society would demand a thor
ough Investigation. He "said also that as
a result of this controversy the business
of life Insurance would be put on a more
careful basis.
Mr. Hill added: "I have been a policy
holder In the Equitable life for over thirty
years,' and 1 sny as a policy holder that
the time has come when the whole busi
ness of life Insurance must bo more care

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2S.-"My will
regarding the convocation of representa
tives of the people Is unswerving and the
minister of the Interior Is making every
effort for Its speedy realisation."
Emperor Nicholas, receiving In audience
at Tsarskoe Selo, Sunday, the marshal of
the nobility of Kostroma, a government of
middle Russia, directed that the above
message be communicated to the commu
nity of Kostroma. The message evidently
was designed to be published to quint the
fears of those who are Impatient at the
delays and who have grown skeptical of
the fulfillment of the promises contained
In the Imperial rescript. It Is very sig
nificant that the emperor use tho words
"convocation of representatives the peo
ple," thus going beyond the expression
employed In th rescript and setting at
rest all doubt as to his meaning.
The Novoe Vremya halls the new assur
ance with much satisfaction, saying: "The
words will spread over Russia Ilk a great
consolation. They will tranqullize the
yearnings of all classes of society, even
where hope was being crushed by Impa
tience, and under the Influence of the ridi
cule heaped from certain quarters on
'Russian representation,' and where H was
Ironically predicted that the representatives
would never be convoked. Tho Imperial
words breatho a firm resolution to put
Into effect and not simply to consent to
the Important reform, in spite of the ma
I'gnant voices which threw doubt on his
Mujesty.'s Intentions."
The Moscow Gazette published the em
peror's statement under the double eagle
and snld: "Now let all Russia's well
wishers cease their jcrmiads' against the
convocation of representatives of the peo
ple."
A rumor is circulated here to tho effect
that Emperor Nicholas will mark Easter
by the proclamation of general amnesty
for political and religious prisoners now
conllned In the fortresses or prisons of
Eurbpean Russia or who are in exile.
Fears that the Easter holidays, which
extend over thirteen days, will be the 00
caslon for bloody riots ore manifested
everywhere and the population is becoming
distinctly panicky over the stories which j
are circulating of murder, pillage and ter
rorism on the purt of the mobs in various
parts of the country. Even churches, ac
cording to stories told, are not exempt.
The people are being especially warned not
to enter the St. Isaac or Kasan cathe
drals or the church of the Nevsky monas
tery. The liberals pretend to believe that
such stories are purposely circulated by
the police. In any event the strain Is be
coming Intense. This Is holy week, when
Russia Is usually tn sackcloth and ashes,
but the poorer classes of the people, who
generally attend Incessant masses, now
spend most of their time at the doors of
the churches, gossiping about what may
happen next week.
The solemn religious service at the Win
ter palace, which, In ordinary years takes
place Saturday at night, with which Easter
is ushered in, and when the metropolitan
of St. Petersburg proclaims to the emperor.
In the presence of the Imperial family,
ministers and leading functionaries, the
rising of Christ from the grave, will not
take place this year on account of the
danger Involved. Instead a similar service
will be held at Tsarskoe Selo.
Governor General Trepoff Insists on his

BOSVONICE. Russian Poland, April 25.
Great disorders are expected here at
Easter time. The town is full of troops.
Russian officials are receiving letters
threatening them with massacre and the
workmen have been deluged with procla'
muttons signed by the Polish revolutionary
committee, warning them not to heed those
who advise them to kill the Jews, but In
stead to kill all such persons. The proc
lamations are directed against the police,
who are charged with attempting a diver
sion against the Jews.

WORK OF MAIL ORDER HOUSES
How
no
the Big Eastern Firms
Their Bualnesa In the
Wat.
The Omaha Retail Grocers' association
and the Nebraska Retail Merchants' asso
ciation are still unalterably opposed to th
mall-order house and the trading stamp.
"People ought to be educated a little bit
on these questions," says Secretary Harry
Fischer, "before they go In for the support
of the purcels post or any of theee things.
Why, If they got the parcels post small
packages can be sent In here cheaper than
the largest Omaha merchants can bring
carlots here. Omaha Is not near any of th
great -renters of supply and cannot com
pete with the houses at the great seaport
towns. If the parcols post goes in we will
have to compete with gigantic trusts, and,
the largest houses here could not do It."
"There Is a little lesson that Nebraska peo
ple ought to know tn a talk I had a f aw days
ago with a salesman for an Omaha jobbing
house. He wis able to show a man out
In the state that he could get things
chvuper from n local merchant than ha
could from an order house. That Is like
this: There are firms which are selling
soap, coffee, tea and such things by mail
order. There Is nothing easier to swindle
the public In than those things. In this
case the house was selling forty pounds
of sugar for a dollar. He offered to pajr
the man 20 per cent for every pound he
could get him at that price. The man had
paid 26 cents for coffee, the salesman
proved was nothing but parched peas, 30
cents for tea that the retailer sold for 30
cents, and 30 cents for pepper that waa
made of cocoa shells that cost less than
6 cents tn a grocery. These agents go
through the state with the sugar for bait
offering fifty pounds for a dollar. Then
you have to buy five pounds of coffee. Ova
pounds of tea and five pounds of pepper
with It, and even selling the sugar at less
than cost, they make money. When any
one buys of an Omaha house that pur
chases from an Omaha Jobber he knows
he is getting pure groceries.

FUNERAL OF SENATOR PLATT

to Attend Services at Wash

tend the funeral of Senator O. II. Piatt,

dreds of visitors to this village today. Men
of national fame were among them, mem

sisted of about thirty members, who
reached here by a special train, which
brought Governor Roberts and the mem
bers of his staff, state officials and other
prominent men of this state.
Long befor the time set for the funeral It
was apparent that the Congregational
church, which had been selected for the
service because It has the largest audience
room In the village, would b entirely too
mall for the crowd.
In keeping with th marked sympathy of
all the funeral arrangements, the altar
decorations In th church consisted mainly
of branches of evergreen and mountain
laurel, banking tha altar rail. There wr
a few bouquets of flowers.
Across the organ at the rear of the pulpit
a large American flag was draped and Im
mediately above the music rack was a large
wreath, sent In behalf of President Roose
velt. Vic President Fairbanks and the
national and state delegation had seats
in the church Immediately behind the
family party, which occupied the frov.l
rows of pews. At the conclusion of th
services Vice President Fairbanks, a th
representative of the nation' head, wa
th first to pass out of th church. The

with scabs, my face waa like a piece
of raw beef, my eyebrows and lasbes
were falling out, and sometimes I felt
as if I wa burning np from the ter

treating myaelf at home, and now my

with Cuticura Soap, then applied Cu
