Aantlier Concrete Mixer.
Parks. Johnson & Parks, the contractors
whp are putting down the pavement on
Twenty-fourth street, secured a second
concrete. . mixer Monday afternoon. The
mixer Is a new one Just from the factory,
and lust evening It was . being placed In
isisltion at Twenty-fourth "and J streets
and will be ready to use today. Great
luantlties of material are being unloaded
nlong the, street and everything possible
Is being done to hasten the work. No
great amount of attention Is being paid
to the putting down of the brick block,
only about a doxeu men working at this.
Attention Is being centered In getting the
concrete base down before the weather
prevents the working of cement. Jim
I'arks says that If he gets the buse down
he can lay the brick even If the weather
Is cold. All the men who want work can
llnd It on. thla paving Job now. The city
Inspectors employed to watch the work
xuy Jhat an excellent base la being laid
and 'that all of the material used la first
class. If the weather holds good this
week the pavement will be down from A
to P gtreet and the concreting down as
fur south aa M street. The contractors
rua being: congratulated on all aides on
account of the rapid work they are doing.
As a general thing paving operations In
Mouth Omaha have dragged along until the
people became tired of seeing the streets
torn up. Now the rapid work Is causing
a great deal of 'surprise.
With two mixers at work the contractors
My thot they can put down six blocks of
i iiiierct week.

Xrtiowln stops Work.
Contractor McGowan has stopped work
on the curbing of Missouri avenue and

He will not put this curbing In position

company will have ample time to secure
material for the heavy rails to be laid, and

His rampala-a.
OMAHA, Nov. . 16. To the iiIilor of
The Bee: My attention has beesj called to
an article, under the heading of "Quits
Business, but Nyt Politics." In which ar
ticle Mr. W. S. proatch -announces his
candidacy f. r the mayoralty and Is quoted
as saying. "I worked bard for McDonald
for sheriff and shuffled the carda and made
all the deals In the campaign, but that Is
as far as It goes."
Mr. McDonald's majority over Mr. Flynn
was 462. The rest of the Douglas county
ticket war elected by majorities and plu
ralities ranging from l.tsi to 4.J4X so the
other successful candidates have something
to be thankful for. and that IS that Mr.
proatch did not "shuffle the cards and
make all tha deals" for them.
During the six weeks that the cam
paign waa on the officials of tha county
committee failed to receive the honor of a
call from Mr. Broatch at Its headquarters
In the Bee building. During the last four
weeks of the campaign the executive com
mute of the republican , county central
committee, presided over by Senator
Oibson, chatrman- of the committee,
met dally In the secretary'" office,
414 .B-e building. On this executive
committee waa represented every ward In
Omaha, two from South Omaha and one
from the country, a total of fifteen. At
none of these meetings waa Mr. Broatch s
name even mentioned and not the slightest
Inkling was given by anyone that Mr.
Broatch was taking a hand In the cam
paign. The county committee conducted its
fight In the open and held to a straight
"lino up" from ruprerne judge to consta
bles. We have heretofore been at a loss
to account for the falling off In the vote
of our worthy sheriff-elect, and now that
Mr. Broatch publicly acknowledges that
he "shuffled the cards and made all the
deals" for McDonald and I might add
without the knowledge or consent of the
county central committee the reasons of
the falling off of the McDonald vote is
more apparent. M. J. GREEVT.

FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN STREET
James Klernan Suffering; From la
Jnrles, bat C'anse Cannot Re
srertalaea.
A lather mysterious' accident occurred
at Sixteenth and Cass streets last night.
between 9:30 and 9:48. Jamea Klernan
who is thought to be employed by the Ne
braaka Clothing company, was found
lying In the street near the track of the
Sixteenth street car line, suffering with
what Is feared to lie concussion of the
brain. Blood was gushing In streams
from his ear. .There was a severe bruise
on his left cheek and another under the
chin. There were other marks on his body
He was first discovered by Tom Falconer
and was taken Into Tom Hart's saloon.
The police surgeons were summoned and
took the man to the police station in an
unconscious condition. ;
It Is uncertain how he was Injured
whether he was struck by a street car
or run down by some vehicle. At 10:45
he was taken to the Clarkson huspital.
An examination snowed that there was a
no frscture, but a severe concussion of
the brain Is thought to be a menace to
his recovery. It Is thought that there
was one eye witness to the accident from
the remark that he made lo wune by
standers after the man was discovered
This man had several little children with
him. Ire disappeared before . the police
arrived, so his statement was lost. The
detectives are looking for the man. In
order to discover the cause of Kiernan's
injuries.
At last reports from the Imipltul the
nan had not regained consciousness.
DEUEL TO MAKE NO FIGHT

In Pronounced Nonsense lt
Hla Deputy.
Some one started the rumor about the
court house that Harry Deuel, or-sum
other man now In office who was defeated
at the recent election, would resist any
attempt by the new officers to take pos
session. This on the ground that the re
cent election was void because of machines
being used to record the vote.
Mr. Deuel was not In when a visit was
niHdii to his office, but his deputy said the
report was ridiculous.
"I have not heard of such a proposal
said the deputy, "and I do not believe Mr.
Deuel has, either. It is Just nonsense."

THIRO INDICTMENT ON SAME CHARGE
Twice Hefare Has Kaaaaa fcacaned
Oner After Conviction anal
geeond Time on lemarrer
ladlet meat.
81. I.triS, Nov. an. For the second time
within 4 years I'nlted States Senator J.
Ralph burton of Kansas today was called
upon to defend himself In the United
States circuit court against an Indictment
harglng that he was offered and accepted
compensation Trotn the Rialto Grain and
Securities company of St. Louis, now de
funct, for using his influence while a mem
ber of the United States senate, In behalf
of that concern In certain matters pending
before the Postofllce department at Wash-
ngton. Senator Purton was tried and con-
Icted on the first Indictment In March,
IS". He appealed to the United States su
preme court and the case was reversed. A
new Indictment wss returned last spring
nd about a month ago demurrers filed by
counsel for the defense were sustained by
United States Circuit Judge Vandevar.tcr,
who immediately ordered that a new fed
eral gTaiid Jury lie summoned to consider
the evidence In poaaesslon of the United
States district attorney.
Jaat Inside Time 1,1 in It.
On November 8, ten days before the
statute of limitations become effective, the
third and present Indictment against Sena
tor Burton was returned. Demurrers to
this and a plea In bar filed by Senator Bur
ton's attorneys were overruled by Judge
Vsndevanter and the case ordered to trial.
The salient point of difference between
the first and third Indictments Is that In
the former Senator Burton was charged
with receiving the alleged compensation In
Washington, D. C, snd one of the points
on which the supreme court reversed the
conviction was thut the St. Louis court
did not have Jurisdiction; while the present
Indictment alleges that Senator Burton
agreed to accept and did accept compensa
tion for his Influence In 8t. Louis.
When court convened at 10 o'clock this
momlmj Senator Burton was present, ac
companied by his attorneys, Frederick L.
Lehnmnn of St. Ixmis, leading counsel for
the defense; W. H. Rossingtnn of Topeku,
Kan., and W. K. Haynes of Chicago. Tha
government Is represented by Colonel D.
P. Dyer. United Slates district attorney.
assisted by Charles H. Robb, assistant to
the attorney general of the United States,
and Horace Dyer, assistant to the district
attorney.
After the selection of eighteen talesmen
from whom the jury was selected by the
exercise of the peremptory challenges, Mr.
Lehmann objected to Judge Vandevanter's
apportionment of the, challenges, claiming
tho defense was entitled to more than three
on the ground that the punishment for the
offense charged against Senator Burton
makes It a felony.
Charge ot a Felony.
Judge Vandevantcr overruled Mr. I.eh-
mann's claim, holding that the statute un
der which the Indictment was brought ex
pressly stales the. offense Is a misdemeanor
and as such the prosecution and defense
are only entitled to three challenges each.
Mr. Lehmann noted an objection. '
The Jury was sworn at 11:30 a. m. and
Judge Vandevanter Supplemented the regu
lation oath by pointing out In detail the
duties of a Juror and the manner In which
the testimony in : the case should be
weighed In order to reach a Just verdict.
Colonel Dyer, the djfjrict attorney, Uellv-
ered the opening statement of the govern
ment's ouse. He said the charge was
brought under section No. 1TS2 of the re
vised statutes of the United States, which
states that no officer or employe of the
United States government may receive or
agree to receive any compensation for rep
resenting any party or parties In any mut
ter before any department of United States
government In which the government is in
terested. Penalty for conviction is a term
of not more than two years In the peni
tentiary or a tine of not more than $!o.nu.
or Itoth, and that the convicted person shall
be forever debarred from holding office
under the I'nlted ' States government.
Colonel Dyer then read the indictment.
which contains six counts, two counts hav
ing been quashed previously on motion of
ll.e defense. The counts churge virtually
the same offense, only differing in dates
and other matters pertaining to the specific
charge made in the respective courts.

O. McCtme of 3111 North Thirty-seventh

store Mr. Cowetl at once suspected the
Gevacl women, whom he trailed to thi
Boston store with Mrs. McCune. At the j
uoston store Mrs. McCune at once Identi
fied her puree In the hands of Josephine
Gevacl. who claimed her sister gave her
the receptacle. The woman was takn to
the Boston store by Mr. Cowell. who lo
cated Mrs. Mi'Cune's papers hid under a
pile of blankets In the basement of the
store. The women claimed they found t!i
handbag on the floor of the Kllpstrlclt
store.
The Judge let the women off with a light
fine, the offense being their first, and gave
them a little curtain lecture on the evils of
taking that which Is not their own. The
judge pointed to the two Infanta borne In
the arms of the women and reminded the
mothers they should set better examples
for their children.

tractors, for 110,000 for the alleged, alien
ation of her husband's affections by preju

a long trial last summer, but the Jury dis
agreed. Charges of forged letters und sig
natures denied, coupled with a good deal
of feeling, which apparently hns not been
softened by time, enter Into the case.

ERROR IN CHENG'S REPORT
der Were In Men Chow and
Wounded, Kol In ( anion.
Regsriilng the report of the recent mis
slenaty massacre f led with Secretary Rent
by Sir Chemung l.iang Cheng, the Chinese
minister at Washington, as the official no
count of the murder of the five Americans
L"" Chow. Information comes from
prlval sources whh h lends to discredit
the distinguished Chinaman's statement.
As was published In the Associated Tress
papers throughout the country, this report
said neither the boycott of Chinese trade
by Amei leans, nor race feeling, had any
thing to do with the massacre.
The report also goes on to say that Dr.
Machle and Miss Patterson, the two mis
sionaries who escaped, were In Canton
when the massacre occurred. This patj
of the "official" retort Is knoan, through
these private advices, to be Incorrect, for
the simple resson that Miss Patterson and
Rev. Dr. Machle were wounded, and being
wounded, they could. It is urged, scarcely
have been absent In Ctnton. as the "offi
cial" report says. On the basis th.it this
part of the report Is Inoorrevt. there Is a
strong feeling that other parts of the re
port, especially that attributing to the mis
sionaries the fault of the furore, also Is
Incorrect. The officials of the church board
fee the fact that these two missionaries
who cscsiied dentil were wounded is proof
enough the report filed by Sir Chenlutig is
not consistent with facts.
