THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1003.
LICENSE PROTEST HEARING
ExciM Board Declines to Liittn to Circnlt
' tion Teitimeny.
ONE WORLD-HERALD CASE IS OPENED UP
F.lmrr Thnmti' I.Ut Rend and m
tart Wade by Atlarnfr Ohlectln
to Henrlng; Detective's
Starr.
In the matter rf the World-Herald pror
tests against liquor licenses, the Board of
Firs and Police Commissioners lam night
absolutely refused to go Into the question
of the circulation of the dally par"". At
torney Connell was present for The Bee
with Circulation Manager Dwlght Williams,
ready to prove that The Bee had a larger
circulation. Attorney Slmeral and Gilbert
M. Hitchcock were also there, claiming
they had wltnesse to prove fie opposite,
Mr. Williams was placed on the stand at
the instance of Mr. Slmeral and with the
approval of Mr. Connell, but as soon as the
board saw the drift of 'he questions put
to the witness Mr. Bpratlen and Mr.
Eroatch Informed the attorneys that under
no circumstances would the board listen
to a wrangle concerning circulation.
Mr. Connell assured, the members of the
hoard that before the saloon license trou
ble was over he expected them to hear
the question of circulation and threatened
them with a mandate of court If they did
not do so.
Case In Question.
The case under discussion was that of H.
V. Harm. 3n02 Vinton street, whose right
to a liquor license was protested by the
World-Herald on the ground that he had
not advertised In the paper of largest clr
culation and that he acted In bad faith by
advertising Irt The Kvenlng Bee.
Mr. Harm was placed on the stand to
testify as to his good faith. He said he
believed The Evening Bee to have the
largest circulation In the county and, al
though he had advertised In The Evening
Bee last year, he knew of a license granted
where advertisement had been made In
Tho Evening Bee and not In the World
Herald. He had sent In his advertisement to
The Kvenlng Beo on November 24 and on
November 26 had received a registered let
ter from the World-Herald which he had
burned without reading. -
Purther hearing of Mr. Harm's case was
postponed until Monday night, when the
protests against Mike H. Buck and Charles
Blind will be considered.
C'lvlo Federation Protests.
Elmer E. Thomas, on behalf of the Civic
Federation, appeared before the board In
protest against twenty-nine saloon keepers
and brewers, charging them with violation
of the Slocumb law. Those against whom
protests were filed are: H. N. Halter, 312

Detective Horace H.' Baldwin of the Thlel
Detective agency was put forward by Mr.
GORDON
FURS
Thomas as the chief wltnesii. but the at
torneys for the saloon men, J. A. Storey,
J. W. Parish and A. S. Ritchie, protested
allowing him to testify. Mr. Storey said
that refusal of license could be made only
en con'luslve proof of guilt, whieh he con
tended could be nothing but evidence of
conviction In court The board wanted
time to think over his point and postponed
further hearing.
J. W. Parish called it unfair that Mr.
Thomas should file protests against tho
saloon men when lie had been a party to
an agreement to leave them alone in case
they kept their places free from wine
rooms, prostitutes and minors, and closed
at 12 o'clock. He said Mr. Thomaa and Mr.
Mahoney had made this agreement with
Mr. Graham, Harry Hayward and Dr.
Bummers. Mr. Thomas declared he had
only promised to withdraw existing pro
tests In case these conditions were agreed
to.
The protest against W. C. Albach was
withdrawn by the World-Herald and he
was granted a druggist's permit.

NEW COUNTERFEITS SPOTTED
Both Are of Ten-Dollar Denomination
and Bear Mama of Careleas
Manipulation.
Two tiew $10 counterfeit treasury notes
of the Buffalo scries have put in an ap
pearance and the alarm has been sent
out by the secret service department of
the government to be on the lookout for
them. Their descriptions are as follows:
First Note Series of 1901, check letter
A; face plate 772, back face plate 121;
J. W. Lyons, register, and E H. Roberts,
treasurer; portraits of Lewis and Clark on
the counterfeit appear to be printed from
photomechanical plates on two pieces of
paper, between which heavy silk threads
have been distributed. General appearance
of tho note deceptive, particularly the
back, on which the treasury numbers are
too heavy. They are of good color and
formation. In the portrait of Lewis the
left eye has a cast upward. There Is a
period between "Washington" and "D.
C," Instead of a comma. There Is no
period after the "11" In the signature of
the treasurer. There are no diagonal cross
lines In the shading back of the portraits.
The counterfeit Is about one-fourth of an
Inch shorter then the genuine and the
paper Is thick and stiff. The back Is
several shades lighter than the genuine.
Second Note-erles of 1901, check letter
C, plate numbers undecipherable: photo
process of the counterfeit Is printed on pa
per of fair quality; attempt Is made to
Imitate the silk fiber by a few scattered
threads on the surface, face and back;
numbering and seal are good, both as to
color and workmanship. The three notes
under Inspection bear the number of
KtiOlISO. The most noticeable defect Is
the failure to bring out the portraits of
Lewis and Clark in relief. They have a
flat appearance, owing to the absence of
the light and shade effects In the back
ground. Tho buffalo' looks as If he were
shedding his coat. Color on back is good.

ECHO OF OLD BANK WRECK
nit for Twenty Thousand Dollars
Damage Grows Out of
Tecnmaeh Failure.
An echo of the Chamberlain bank wreck
of Tecumseh several years ago bobbed up
in the United States circuit court Wednes
day morning in the commencement of a
suit for $20,000 damages brought by A.
Staples Cody of Johnson county, against
Charles H. Dennis and Pierce S. Jones for
false arrest and Imprisonment
The petition of Mr. Cody states In effect
that on July 2. 1904, he was charged with
taking away and concealing a note for S35
and upward (amounting to $2,250) whloh
had been taken or carried away, and that
he was further charged with knowing the
note had been stolen. Cody was arrested
upon the complaint of Pierce 8. Jones
and taken before County Judge Livingston
and was ordered committed to jail and
kept there for about five days and nights.
The plaintiff alleges that his arrest and
incarceration were for the purpose of in
juring and damaging his reputation and
that ne was additionally charged with an
Intent to defraud the Chamberlain banking
house In buying the note in question, which
had been given by Ben Miller and Minnie
A. Miller to Charles H. Chamberlain, en
dorsed and assigned to the banking house
on July 30, 1902, the amount of the note
then being $2,25S., and which note had
shortly before been embezzled from the
Chamberlain bank, also that the plaintiff
knew at the tlmo that the note had been
embezzled.
Upon the hearing of the case the plain
tiff waa honorably acquitted and dis
charged from custody. The present suit Is
brought in consequence and damages in
the sum of $20,000 and costs of suit are
asked.

STICKNEY REAL OPPONENT
Ureat Western Maid o Be Flchtiuu
the Iwloa Paelue Track
mm Ordinance.
Friends of the Vnlon Pacific trackage
ordinance, passed over the mayor's
veto Tuesday night, are satisfied they have
discovered the source of ouDosItlon to the
I ordinance to be the Chicago Great Western
railroad. Mr. Stlckney and the I'nion Pa
cific, of course, locked horns at the outset
when the Great Western at first sought
entrance Into Omaha, and Stlckney, amid
the public's plaudits, won out. Since then
the two factions have failed to close the
breach entirely, and its Is said the oppost
tlot to the trackage ordinance on the
grounds that "some other, road may want
similar rights." is the Great Western's
latest blow.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Coniiderttioi of Bond Hatter Mmt Be in
Regular Misting.
PRESIDENT AGAINST SPECIAL MEETING
Attorney Hrrcn, for Mrs. PtvonWn,
Rays Before Month Omaha t an Get
Xew t'ltjr Halt People Must
Agree on a Site.
"Any matters pertaining to the rity hall
bonds will have to come up at the regular
D'eetlng of the city council," salj W. P.
Adkins, president of the council, because
no special meeting will be called for that
purpose."
This remark was brought forth by the
report In the dally papers that a special
meeting of the council would probably be
called to consider the selling of the J70.000
city hall bonds to Bpltxer & Co., whose rep
resentative, Lyman Spltser, has been in the
city for several days.
"South Omaha will never have a city hall
until the people down there can get together
and determine where they want it," said
City Attorney Breen of Omaha, who repre
sents Mrs. Pivonka In the injunction suit
to stop the sale of the bonds. "Even if
Mrs. Pivonka accepts the $1,000 to withdraw
the suit which has been filed and which Is
now in the supreme court, the bonds can
not be sold, for the reason that there are
several others Interested in that site be
sidss Mr. and Mrs. Pivonka. Several oth
ers have been behind that injunction be
sides Mrs. Pivonka, and as sure aa that
suit is withdrawn others will be filed."
Thus the effort to put the city hall on O
street is meeting Just aa much opposition
at this time as when it was first discussed.
The syndicate which Is backing the O street
site has been working tooth and nail on the
matter, and several schemes have been
hatched to revive the bond Issue, but from
present Indications It as as far from settle
ment as ever.
This opposition Is still manifest in spite
of the fact that the question was put be-

Pavlnir Stona on Twenty-Fourth.
Paving Is complete on the east side of
Twenty-fourth street as far as Missouri
avenue and no more work will be donh
until spring. This gives the people of
South Omaha a good thoroughfare to the
city, which is appreciated by all. Neatly
all of the goods from the big Jobbing
houses In Omaha Is' brought to South
Omaha by wagon and this new paving gives
the transfer companies a chance to haul
much larger loads and thus make more
profit on their work. This street has been
the bugbear of residents of this city for
some time and especially those living in
tho northern section, as a drive down the
old pavement meant practically taking their
lives In their hands. It was a common
sight to see a broken wagon which some
poor driver had been compiled to leave
until he could go for assistance.
Since the completion of this street prop
erty owners who live in Omaha and are
Interested In South Omaha, aa well as those
In South Omaha who drive to Omaha, have
been making an effort in Omaha to havo
Twenty-fourth street paved to Omaha. A
great many of the head men In the packing
houses live in Omaha and many of the
clerks live near the park. The street rail
way company has signified its intention
of putting In a track and running cars
as soon as this street is paved. This would
be a great time saver, as It would cut out
the trip around by the Sixteenth street
viaduct. Thoiie who now drive are com
pelled to also go the roundabout way In
muddy weather, and In dry weather most
take the road via the west side of Hanscom
park. The paving of this street would fur
nish a good road to the city for all these.
Two blocks still remain to be paved of
the east side of the street, but this will also
be passed over until spring.
So Protests on Special Taxes.
The city council, which has been sitting
as a board of equalization for the last two
days on some special taxes which were
assessed against property for grading and
sidewalks, adjourned sine die last night at
S o'clock. No protest was made by prop
erty owners, so thst the session of the
board was entirely a matter of form. The
law provides that the council sit four times
A year to consider protests on taxes and
meets subject to the call of the city council,

Mrs. J. Caughey swore out a warrant
Wednesday morning for the arrest of Paul
Byerly for harboring a vicious dog, con
trary to the ordinances of the city. Coun
cilman Kiewlt assisted In having the
papers made out. The complainants sy
that, although the dog Is vicious and. irre
sponsible because of its half breed an
cestry, being a mixture betwoen a bulldog
and a cur, it Is allowed to roam all over
the neighborhood around Twenty-fifth and
A streets, causing great anxiety to the sur
rounding country, and that Mr. Byerly re
fuses to either have the dog confined or
killed. City ordinances are strong against
the keeping or harboring of a vicious dog
in the city limits and the complainants
don't care so much to have Byerly arrested
as they do to have the dog disposed of or
killed.

A mass meeting will lie held to.ilght to
consider the sewer bonds and a vote of
the citizens will bn taken on the question.
It Is the old question as to whether the
city or the stock yards company should
build the sewer for the creek which une
through Albright. Some say to give the
aewer bond proposition a lift as it Is the
only way out of the dilemma, which will
cost the taxpayers a lot of money if the
sewer Is not built next summer.

says that the sidewalk "Is all laid, but he

TEN DAYS' MISSION STARTS
Archdeacon Webber from Boston
Open Services at Trinity
Cathedral.
Archdeacon Percy C. Webber of Boston
started a ten days' mission last evening at
j Trinity cathedral. During the mission serv
ices will be held every day at 7:30 a. m.
land 4 and 8 p. in. This evening the arch
deacon will speak of four reasons why tho
j Bible Is the word of Ood and of five gnat
! blessings of Christianity. Archdeacon Web
ber has an exceptionally clear and ell
I modulated voice and is an interesting
speaker, both for what he says and how he
' says It. He bespoke for the mission an
earnest Interest and hoped for much good
to result from the services.
"The real charm of life Is being a co
worker with God and the more you grow In
the Christian life the more you want to
do unto others as you would have them do
I unto you," said the archdeacop. "In the
j use of our energies and talents we should
not place money first, nor seek first po
litical or social honors, but rather try to
honor and glorify Ood, after which It Is
well to look to the material things neces
sary but not all-Important to our ex
istence. The fact that Godliness pays in
business was never, more forcibly Illus
trated than by recent events of national
Interest. The Christian Is the personal
friend of a personal Christ."

Woman Srrlonsly Stabbed.
Flora Flippln. a pretty octoroon living at
SOI Cass, was stshbed this morning by Vic.
tor Kellum, living at the same number.
The stabbing occurred at aliout 1 a. m.
It appears that Kellum has been living
with the girl for some time past, but of
late he hss been giving attentions to an
other woman. This Miss Kllppln discov
ered and she called him to task. He re
torted In kind and soon grew angry. He
seized a pocketknlfe of large dimension
and drove it into her right breast. The
knife was dull and left a ragged wound
that was very painful. Luckily the knlf
only passed through the flesh and did not
penetrate the thorax. Her wound bled pro
fusely and Kellum, thinking he had killed
her. took to his heels and has not been
