OMAHA GAS ENGINE. COMPANY CASE ISSUE

estee! Spectator.
Tt Is .an Interesting tegil same that I
being played In Judge Bears' court room
n the - case - against ' the stockholder of
the defunct Omaha Ga Engine company,
attorneys John L. Webster, H. 11. Bal
ing. Lysle L Abbott,' U- J.' Dunn. J. M.
Vfacfartand ; and Charles f .. Tuttle are to
:he for looking; after the interests of va
rious clients. , When one Isn't on the floor
mother Is,.' wUh asserUoh .'or objection.
There la no lack; tt good. Strong English
to accentuate, the legal terms and many a
Saustlc clash between the eminent counsel
tnllvens thrf proceedings. .,
"What difference enn this question pos
sibly make to your"' asks Mr. Baldrlge ot
Mr. Webster, with acerbity, when the lat
ter put In an objection.
7 "And what difference does It make to
you?" counter quisles Ms. Webster, with
that smile of his which comes when he Is
dangerous In the legal forum.
Judge Bears rulod out a ledger account
on technical grounds which several of the
attorneys wanted to get In as evidence,
i and there was a slight lengthening of faces.
A little later he admitted a stub receipt
book for the purpose or showing the
amounts ot money received from certain
stockholders, "but not for the purpose of
showing the original connection of alleged
stockholders with the company," and other
faces altered somewhat In expression. .
Witness Merely a Spectator.
Da Hon Rlsley, one of the promoters of
the company and a stockholder, was on
the stand Thursday morning and was being
questioned by Mr. Baldrlge. Messrs. Web
ster, Dunn nnd Tuttle were objecting and
Rlsley wasn't getting a chance to say much
- of anything. He became merely an Inter
ested spectator. On one objection Mr. Dunn
took the floor and let himself loose quite
forcefully. He Intimated that tales pre
tenses had been used to sell tbs stock ot
the company at 60 cents on the dollar to
Innocent people on the ground that It was
fully paid up, when as a matter of fact.
such was not the case.
And now they come Into a court of
equity," said Mr. Dunn, "and ask that we
be made to pay ion per cent. This was
Ither a legal, straightforward proposition
or It was a fraud," he declared with a
punch on the table that shook the dust oft
the law books; and the attorney left the
Impression that he meant there had been
very bad faith on the part of somebody
gnlnst his client.
Then Mr. Baldrlge took the floor and
denied Dunn's right to "butt In" at all, as
he had no ground on which to stand re
sting to the phase of the esse which he
(Baldrlge) was examining Into. While
counsel's language was strenuous It did not
seem to worry the other counselor Ths
esse Is still on and promises no early end.
Witness on the Gridiron.
The Interesting witness of the afternoon
session of court was Jo Eaton, formerly
treasurer of the company. For a few hours
life was made a burden to him, from the
fractlousness of the clever men ot the law.
Mr. Webster, on cross-examination, tried
to get hlra to explain a lot of stock trans
fers. Mr. Abbott consistently objected un
less the book could go in as evidence, and
Anally Mr. Webster and the other defend-
ng attorneys consented..
Then Mr. Webster tried to show that the
witness had bought some forty shares of
stock Instead of five shares, but he had
to fight hard and long, and the beat he got
was an admission that the transfer of
the stock back and forth, as shown by the
books, was done for the benefit of Mr,
Clover, the Inventor of the engine and
motor.
"It was not done for my benefit," said
Mr. Raton very earnestly. The company
got all the money I had and I got noth
ing."
In order to get the various books he
wanted to use Identified, Mr. Webster
called Attorney Abbott to the stand and
cautioned him, ' "Now, you. keep still; I
am going to ask the questions." And he
did, as far as he wanted to go. On being
released Mr. Abbott asked hlmseelf a ques
tlon and answered It in the way he thought
best to save his client's Interest.
The case will continue this morning.

BirriTing Victims of Tornado Disaster
Develop So Alarming Condition.
ILL FATE PURSUES STEWART FAMILY
Jacob Klrschaer Will Be Bnrled San-
day, hat Other Faaerala Are Not
Arranged For Manage
Slmones at Rains.
No serious consequci ces are anticipated
for the injured In Wednesday s disaster at
the Omaha Casket company's plant. Ths
majority of those who were injured by
ths falling debris rested as easily a could
be expected under the circumstances Wed
nesday night and the physicians In at
tendance say that it no serious complica
tions set In, all will pull through without
any more serious results.
William Stewart, who was employed in
the trimming department of the factory,
and who was one ot the first to be taken
from under the debris,- spent a restless
night, and it was feared that Injuries
more serious than at first anticipated would
be discovered, but a little before noon
the Injured man was resting easier.
Mr. Stewart's family has been an un
fortunate ope. Ills father, Thomas H.
Btewart, Was killed nine years ago in
the Missouri Pacific Railroad company's
yards at the foot of Locust street while
he was employed as watchman at the
company's Junction. A brother, Walter K.
Stewart, waa killed while working as night
switchman In the Bunllngton yards about
three years ago, and these facts, along
with the fact that their son, who was In
jured Wednesday, 'haa met with numerous
other accidents recently, makes the family
more than usually apprehensive. The
young man Is 23 years Old and has a
wonderfully strong constitution and It Is
h-jped this will pull him through.
Miss Hlnton Is Oat.
Miss Lulu Hlnton, the bookkeeper for the
company, who Jumped through a window
to escape the falling debris, rested easily
Wednesday night, and although somewhat
bruised and stiff rrom her experience, she
has been out of thf house and Is doing
nicely.
William Klrschner, son of Jacob Kirch-
ner, who was killed by the falling ruins, Is
much Improved. He was sent to the Wise
Memorial hospital when taken from the
ruins Wednesday afternoon, but Thursday
was sent to his home at Tenth and Grace
streets. He waa not seriously injured.
Anthony Loeblg, who resides at 2600 Ave
nue D, Council Bluffs, slept well and Is up
and around. tThe young man Is 20 years
of age and had been employed about two
months by the casket company, coming
here from St. Louis. He states that a
large pillar near the elevator shaft, which
was near to the place where he fell, saved
him from certain death. He says that the
pillar caught a great quantity of the falling
debris and shifted the course of the falling
ruins to another direction, which no doubt
saved his life.
Manager John A. Slmones, who was hurt
about the neck and face, was not able to
lie In bed Wednesday night on account ot
the severe stiffness ot his Injury. Mr.
Slmones had to sit in a chair alt night, but
the soreness was somewhat alleviated
Thursday morning and he was down at the
ruined factory dlreotlng the removing of the
ruins.
Funeral arrangements for the three dead
men have not yet been made, except that
of Jacob Klrschner, who will be burled
from the undertaking parlors of Bralley tt
Dorrance Sunday afternoon at S o'clock.
The Ancient Order of United Workmen,
lodge No. 169, will conduct the funeral.
W. A. Smith, who resides st 2407 Burt
street and who was also . Injured by the
tornado, Is doing, nicely. He , was struck
by a falling timber on the back of the
head. '

In the factory of the Omaha Casket com
pany at the time i.he building was blown
down by the wind and lose his life, has
excited curious comment; but the fact Is
not entirely a unique, one. Under much
similar circumstances Rudplph Mitchell, an
nsurance agent, lost his life on February
4, 189. It will be remembered that a short
time after the Max Meyer building at the
corner of Eleventh and Farnam streets
was burned, a high wind blew down one
of the standing walls and crushed several
adjoining buildings, killing six persons and
wounding eleven. Mr. Mitchell had just
begun trying to persuade Peter Boyer In
the tatter's office to take out a policy of
life Insurance when the wall fell and both
men were killed. Had-Mr. Mitchell's ar
rival been delayed only a few minutes he
would have been a spectator of the great
est disaster. In loss of life, that ever hap

TWO DIRECTLY OPPOSITE VIEWS
Weather Forecaster Blames Bnlld
' in , BalldlnsT Inspector, Wind.
"Colder tonight, with Indications for a
heavy frost," Is ths essential feature of
the weather man's story.
Relative to Wednesday's storm Fore
caster Welsh said:
"There was nothing of tornado features
in the storm of Wednesday afternoon that
wrought such destruction in the north part
of the city, in the -collapse of the casket
company's building. Ousty, violent squalls
of wind, of course, prevailed and the build
ing was doubtless in such a condition that
it did not require much of a storm to cause
Its collapse. At the moment of the storm
there waa a very rapid fluctuation of the
barometer, but it was only momentary,
Had there been a true tornado there would
have been some unmistakable evidences of
It In the vicinity of the collapsed structure.
But I understand there are no such evl
dences to be found there. The greatest
lnd velocity prevailing was twenty-nine
miles per hour and at the time of the col
lapse ot the building the wind was blowing
at only twenty-five miles per hour. During
last night the maximum velocity of the
wind waa thirty miles per hour for this
point. The lowest barometer prevailing
yesterday afternoon was 28.6. .
"Wednesday s storm . wss central over
Kansas in the afternoon and this morning
the storm center has shifted to eastern
South Dakota, where a barometric pressure
of 19 1 prevailed. In North Dakota, at
Devil's Lake, a velocity of fifty-six miles
per hour is reported. Up the valley wind
velocities are reported from forty-six to
forty-eight miles per hour, with a 48-mlle
wind at Valentine. The path of the storm
seems to be up the valley, passing rather
to the northward of us here. The prevail-
tng winds yesterday and today axe from
thi southwest."
In the opinion of Building Inspector
Wlthnell the Omaha Caaket company
building was well built and In good con
ditlon when the wind blew It down Wed
nesday afternoon. He had not Inspected it,
but he was familiar with Its construction
and feels certain that It was not the fault
of the structure that tt collapsed.
"The walls were thick enough to have
stood two mere stories with safety," says
the inspector.. "From a careful examina
tion of the ruins and conversation with
former Building Inspector Carter, who
made a careful Inspection Of the building,
I am convinced that the wind, and the
wind alone, was responsible for the calaro
Ity. I doubt If aoiy building in Omaha
could have withstood the tornado."
AFFECTED BY THE WISDSTORM
i
lltirf Bond and Miss Wilson Have
Thrilling; Experiences.
Henry Bond, superintendent of the
White Lead works had an experience with
the tornado In East Omaha, Wedneaday
afternoon. Mr. Bond was driving a sing!
buggy when the Jwlster descended upon
him. The gale lifted horse, buggy and
man in the air and deposited them in
Cut-Oft lake, a distance of thirty feet or
more. The water was not deep and Mr.
Bond succeeded In getting back to land
and released the horse. Ths buggy, how
ever, was allowed to remain half-sub
merged until today.
Miss Elisabeth Wilson, a kladsrgartsn
director at the Park school Is seriously
sick with heart trouble brought on by the
storm Wednesdsy afternoon. Mlse Wilson

Time;
Messrs. Henry Rachmari, Joseph Housky

Sherman Avenue Business Men's club, were
about the proudest men In that busy sec
tion of the city last evening. They had
arranged a May part that eclipsed any
thing of a social nature recently given. The
affair occurred In Erfllng's hall, on Sherman
avenue near Corby, which waa elaborately
decorated and made very comfortable In Its
appointments.
A large number of the business men and
their wives and children were in attend'
ance and all formality was thrown to the
winds. Sociability reigned supreme, the
people visiting and dining 'together a the
spirit moved. The women had provided
punch and plenty ot good things to eat, and
until a late hour old and young enjoyed
themselves to the top' of their bent.
The business men are' -planning to have
many such parties for themselves-and their
neighbors during the present season.

Much Injury to Omaha's Business Interests
Pointed Out
0CAL MEN ARE BECOMING AROUSED
rain Exchange Vrges Commercial
Clnh to Co-Operate Toward Protecting-
City's Interests from
Serlona Detriment.
The Great Northern cut-off from Ashland
to Sioux City still continues ss a topic ot
conversation in railroad circles and since
the statement of General Manderson, as
published In The Bee, that the Great North
ern had the right to build through the
reservation, even though the Homer In
terurban line was projected through the
effect of this line, Is still under discussion.
One prominent railroad man said the
people only looked at one side of the effect
that this line would have upon Omaha and
that was the deflection of grain from this
state to St. Paul Instead of permitting It to
flow Into the Omaha elevators.
"There Is another far greater result that
will come from the building of the line and
that will be the doing away of Omaha as
the gateway between the north and the
south," said this man. "Now all grain
from the north and other products from
the north to the south snd from the south
to the north are compelled to be trans
ferred at Omaha, as there is no road which
has lines north and south of this city.
With the building of a Hill line from Ash
land to connect with the Hill Hns on the
north as much freight as the Burlington
handles from the south, from St. Louis and
Kansas City will be turned over to the Hill
line at Ashland and Omaha will be left
to hold the sack, as far as these lines are
concerned. The business men of Omaha
should unite to force the IIIU line to make
Its terminus at Omnha, where the other
roads would have a chance at ths freight !
ana wnere umana wouia aenve tne Dene-
fits of a terminal to which she is entitled."
"Another probable object In building this
line," said another prominent official, "Is
to connect the grain fields of Nebraska
with the water route at Its nearest point,
which Is Duluth. The Southern roads made
such Inroads Into the grain business last
winter when they changed the tide of grain
from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf that
the building of this road may be to counter
act this movement. On the longer haul
to the Atlantic they cannot compete with
the roads to the south on the grain hauls
and this may be a scheme to get back some
of the business which the southern roads
took away from them last fall."
Time to Discuss Matter.
At Its next meeting, the executive commit
tee of the Commercial club will consider the
question of receiving a committee from the
Omaha Grain exchange for the purpose ot
discussing the proposed Great Northern cut
off between Sioux City and Lincoln. The
board of directors of the exchange, at a
special meeting Wedneaday, passed reso
lutions favoring a change of route and
selected a committee consisting ot Messrs
Wattles, Kirkends'.l, Updike and Jaqulth
to meet the Commercial club executive
body on the matter. Members of the com
mittee hold that the men of the Commercial
club and the cltlxens of Omaha In general
do not fully realise the relation ot James
J. Hill's proposition to the welfare of
Omaha. They expect to get the public
thoroughly awake on the subject.
"One man told me the cut-off as planned
at present would not hurt Omaha," said
a member of the committee. "In reply I
called his attention to the attitude of the
cities of Ashland and Lincoln, the citizens
of which are howling with glee at the
added benefits which may aocrue to them
from , the new railroad. . Why. would It not
help Omaha as much as these, In case It
should pass through here? If it does not
pass through here, it Is plain to be seen
that the city, will be greatly Injured by
having the channel ot Burlington traffic
northward diverted from It."
Pennsylvania Men in Omaha.
Omaha railroad and grain men enter
tained a distinguished party of Pennsyl
vanla railroad officials at the Omaha club
at noon yesterday. The leader of the party
was J. R. Wood, at present holding the
position of passenger traffic manager of the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, but
in former years general passenger agent of
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy road.
He left the Burlington In 1872 and has been
connected with the Pennsylvania lines
since.
What the object of this trip of the or
flclals Is was not divulged, as all that any
ot' them would say was they were simp!
out for a little recreation and were taking
a trip around the Country. The party
travels In two private cars of tha Pennsyl
vanla road and came direct from Duluth
to Omaha and left for Kansas City Thurs
day afternoon.
The Omaha men who were at lunch with
the visitors were E. P. Peck, F. S. Cowglll,
T. C. Byrne, F. A. Nash, C. F. Manderson,
A. H. Mohler and J. A. Munroe.
The party comprised Joseph Wood, sec
ond vice president of the Pennsylvania
lines west of Pittsburg; J. B. Thayer, Fifth
vice president of the lines east of Pitts
burg; G. D. Dickson, freight traffic man
ager ot the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburg; E. A. Diqkson, western manager
of the Star Union line, with headquarters
In Chicago; D. T. McCabe. freight trafflo
manager of the lines west of Pitts
burg; E. T. Evans of Buffalo, presi
dent of the Anchor Line Transportation
company; J. R. Wood, passenger traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburg, and J. E. Payne, vice president
of the Erie Transportation company.
They were met at the station by T. H.
Thorpe, traveling passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines, with headquarters In
Omaha, and their departure and local ar
rangements were In the hands of L.
Wakeloy, general passenger agent of the
Burlington, over which line they went to
Kansas City.

consideration of the Maurice Bass case.
Bass is charged with securing consignments
of various characters of merchandise from
eastern firms, to be delivered to fictitious
addresses in this city, using the names of
local merchants of the city to further his
scheme. The goods were not delivered at
the establishments of the firms whose
names he used, but to obscure parts of the
city, and Bass secured possession -of the
goods, disposing of them and pocketing the
proceeds of their subsequent sale. Later
the bills for the goods would be submitted
by the consignors to the firms whose names
Bass had given, but in the meanwhile Bass
had disappeared. He waa subsequently
traced to Chicago and finally to Cincinnati,
where he was arrested. He waa returned to
Omaha to answer to ths grand Jury,
