LONE LICENSE IS DENIED
OneOit f Two Hundred Protests Against
8aloons Sustained by Beard.
E. E. THOMAS WILL APPEAL TO COURT
Aka for Immediate Tramacrlpt of
Prorvedlnsa, bat Attorney Object
t nlraa font U Palil bjr Civic
Federation.
Out of some 20r protects filed by Elmer E.
Thomas agatri8t the Issuance of liquor li
cences to saloon keepers the Board ot Fire
and Toltre Commissioners sustained one,
that which referred to the saloon of An
drew Euiick at KDS Douglas street, and
Mr. Eurlck will not .operate a saloon In
Omaha during; 1X4.
All of the other saloons against which
Mr. Thomas protested were granted li
censes late Friday afternoon and when the
long list was rend Mr. Thomas notified the
board that he would at o:ce appeal to the
district court and he requested that the
board would order a transcript of the pro
ceedings be made and filed with the clerk
of the court. This the allied attorneys
tor the saloon men objected to unless Mr.
Thomas would pay the bill, and this mat
ter will be discussed at the board meeting
Tuesday night, at which 4ime about a half
dnsen applications which have not yet been
completed will he passed upon.
Statement of Hoard.
In overruling the protests aminnt Sun
day opening the board harked back to the
Illegal agreement mude between the Civic
Federation and the brewers a year ago,
and inasmuch as the question of whether
the Civic. Federation waived the Sunday
closing feature of the Blocumb law was dis
puted, the board holds that Elmer E.
Thomas acted In bad faith In filing his
protests on these grounds. After setting
out these things at length the opinion con
cludes as follows'
Accordingly the hoard finds that the pro
tests of the uld Klmer R. Thomas, as at
torney for the Civic Federation, are not
made In good faith so fur as afTectlng the
Sunday closing issue, and the protests are
hereby overruled and dismissed without
prejudice to any action that may be taken

tions upon the ground of obstructions of
view through duurs and windows aro con
cerned the board tinds that the same are
not sustained by the evidence, and the pro
tests on that ground are hereby overruled
and dismissed.
In the special protests filed by Mr.
Thomas the board held the evidence was
not sufficient to warrant the refusal of a
license. While only one of the special pro
tests was sustained, these parties withdrew
their applications before the protests came
up for hearing: Meadlmber & Col well. 902
Capitol avenue; Broomfleld & Crutchfleld,
Twelfth street and Capitol avenue; Billy
Garrlty. KB North Tenth; Pat Moran, 1123
Douglas; Frank Dlnuzzo, 21S-218 South Sev
enteenth; John Boyle, Eleventh and Doug
lus. Other parties, however, were granted
licenses to run saloons In the same loca
tions. At the conclusion of the proceedings
Chairman Broatch announced a few rule
to govern the saloon keepers during 1906.
These rules provided that all who receive
licenses must conduct their saloons them
selves; all proprietors will be held re
sponsible for the acts of their employes
who "habitually" break the rules for the
regulation of the business; all connections
between saloons and houses of assignation
or prostitution must be permanently closed;
delivery of Intoxicants to minors for other
parties will be considered as a snle to
minors.
Kvldence Suppressed Feutnre,
The feature of the meeting of the board
Friday morning was the evidence which the
board refused to hear rather than testi
mony which was brought out by questions
asked by Elmer E. Thomas In support of
his protests. In a number of the protests
Mr. Thomas attempted to show that tne
party applying for the license was not the
real party In Interest, but was acting for
someone else. i
The caxes of Mike Handall and Charles
Hamilton, each of whom applied for a
license to run the Midway talnon and hotel
at Twelfth and Capitol avenue, gave the
board a splendid opportunity to shut out
evidence, and the chairman of the board.
W. J. Broatch, took advantage of his op
portunity and sustained every objection
made by the attorneys for the saloon men
on whatever ground was suggested. To all
of these objections, of course, Mr. Thomas
excepted.
l'amllton, who la now the bartender fur
Crutchfleld and Broomfleld, who run the
place, had not completed his application
and this was not considered. Crutchfleld
and Broomfleld, who did apply for the li
cense, withdrew their application some dnys
ago and Mr. Thomas endeavored to show
Friday morning that the applicant, Mike
Kandall, was not tha party In Interest.
Tboraaa Is Kkut Of.
John Crutchfleld was placed on the stand.
Mr. Thomas offered to show by the witness
that Hamilton hud applied for the license in
the Interest of Crutchtield and Broomfleld.
Attorney Parish objected and Chairman
Broatch sustained the objection. Crutch
fleld then testified that he expected to sell
out to Randall provided the latter should
secure a license.
Thomas then offered to prove that no
rash had been offered for the saloon and
the objections to the offer were sustained.
His offer to prove that no written agree
ment had been made by the parties was
objected to and the objection sustained.
The same ruling was made when the offer
was made to prove that 110 rerbul agree
ment had been reached.
"Is Randall going to pay you anything
for the saloon?" asked Mr. Thomas.
"I object." salil Attorney dallies.
"Objection sustained," auid Chairman
Broatch.
When Mike Rupdall ws pl.iced on the
stand Thomas offered to show l the Wit
ness that he had made arrangements with
Hamilton to run the hotel part of the
saloon as a resort for colored prostitutes,
white men and negroes. Parish objected
and Broatch sustained the objections.
Answer Is Not Allowed.
Rar-'all then testified he had made ar-rapi-oments
with JIamilton to run the
ho el first-class, but as to what he meant
by first-class Mr. Broatch would not let
hi n answer.
When John Bnomfleld was called to the
stand he was asked if he knew what the
terms of the sale to Randall were.
"Yes. sir, I do."
"What wera those terms?" asked Thomas.
"I object," said Gaines. "It rgakes no
difference "
"Objection sustained," said Broatch.
"We offer to show by the witness that
he Intends to run this place for Broom
fleld and Crutchfleld," said Mr. Thomas.
"Objections sustained," said Broatch as
soon as Gaines could get the objection
stated.
The ean.e procedure was the order when
Oeorgo W. Tlerney was called to the stand.
He testified that he knew the terms of the
proposed transfers nnd was present when
the agreement was made. Thomas offered
to show by the witness that no agreement
had been made between the Storz brewery
except an agreement with Broomfleld and
Crutchfleld. The objections were sustained.
I.lqnnr old to Minors.
Mike Brunskl, who wanted license to sell
liquor at 1214-16 South Thirteenth street,
was protested because It was alleged ti
had sold liquor to minors. Mat Gregovlch
and his son, John Gregovlch, 13 years tt
age, testified that the boy had frequently
bought beer at the saloon for a boarder t
the Gregovlch home contrary to the orders
of the father. Brunskl denied the charge
absolutely, 1
ltejolnder from Parish.
OMAHA, Dec. 29. To Editor of The Bee:
My attention has been called to a letter
which appeared In your paper of the 27th
Instant, signed by the members of the ex
ecutive committee of the Civic Federation
relative to the agreement entered Into be
tween the Civic Fderaftlon and the saloon
keepers a year ago, concerning certain
protests which the Civic Federation had
filed and were pending at that time against
the granting of licenses to certain saloon
keepers in this city. The letter states:
"There was no agreement, either expressed
or implied, to refrain from prosecution of
any saloon keepers who would violate tha
Sur.duy closing or any other provision of
the Blocumb law." Prior to the confer
ence In Mr. Mahoney's office over which
the controversy arose a number of protests
bad been filed by the Civic Federation.
Each of said protests Included the Sunday
eliiaini? fpntnre nf the lorunib law. tiome
j of the protests contained nothing else ex
cept the Sunday closing feature. For In
stance, In the case of William A. Suther
land. Iu3 North Ninth street, the protest
of the Civic Federation was upon the sole
and only ground of Sunday closing and
I contained this language: "Said William
A. Sutherland sold malt, spirituous and
vinous liquors on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, on the 14th day
of August. 1SM. the 21st day of August.
ISM. and the 2Mh day of August. ISM." It
is most ridlculuus for the Civic Federa
tion members to now say that the Sunday
closing feature of the Slocumb law was not
discuxsed or was not seriously considered
or that the agreement made was without
reference to the Sunday closing feature of
the Slocumb law. But for that feature
there would have been no conference and
no occasion for the conference. Mr. Car
penter, who signs the letter, was not even
present at any time during the conference..
Mr. David Cole, who al signs the letter,
was not even a member of the committee
at the time of the conference, yet they
address the public nnd attempt to say what
was nnd what was not agreed to in that
conference. At the close of said confer
ence and at the request of the Civic Fed
eration, Mr. Thomas, together with tho
writer, appeared before the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners while In session
and stated to the board, that a conference
had been held; that he had obtained all
that he wanted: that they were satisfied;
and thereupon ho dismissed thP protests
which he had filed, all of which Included
the Sundny closing feature. If there was
no agreement, "expressed or Implied,"
with regard to Sunday closing, why was
It that the prittesls on the ground of Sun
day closing were dismissed by Mr.
Thomas? Men may differ In opinion as to
what has occurred; they may forget what
was said; but the written evidence does not
change. This written evidence Is among
the files of the Board of Fire and Police.
They are public documents, subject to
the Inspection of anyone. They are In
evidence in the cases now being tried be
fore the board. Among the protests in
evidence and which were filed by the Civic
Federation and dismissed by the Civic
Federation are those against John Wright,
105 South Twelfth street; William Garrlty,
123 North Tenth street; John A. Tuthill,
1612 Douglas street: L. A. Goldsmith, m
Capitol avenue, nnd William A. Suther
land, 103 North Ninth street. It Is not
denied by the Civic Federation that the
purpose of the conference was to discuss
the question of the protests they had
flled. It is admitted by the Civic Federa
tion and in evidence that the protests re
ferred to were dismissed pursuant to the
agreement had at said conference. It Is
admitted by them that they agreed to the
withdrawal of said protests and that they
authorized and directed Mr. Thomas to
withdraw same. No other Inference can
be drawn from such admitted facts and
conduct except that the Sunday closing
grounds of the protests were discussed and
waived at the conference in Mr. Mahoney's
office and the protests iccordlngly with
drawn. The letter of the Chic Federation above
referred to contains this language: "Be
fore filing these protests (meaning tho
ones now under consideration) we met the
representatives of the brewers and In
formed them th?t we had determined to
try to bring about, Sunday closing and
insist upon its enforcement during the
coming year." Is It not plain to any one
that this language contradicts the asser
tion that there was no agreement, "ex
pressed or implied," entered into a year
ago with respect to Sunday closing for
19u6? If there was no such agreement one
year ago why do they propose now to In
sist upon the same, or is their present po
sition as to what occurred one ye r ago
a mere quibble on words? In other words,
they propose now to Insist upon Sunday
closing, but one year ago wh"n their ,ri
tests were flled upon that ground, they
did not so Insist, but directed their attor
ney to withdraw such protests. The truth
of the inattr is that there was such an
agreement entered Into a year ago with the
Civic Federation to the effect that they
would not insist upon Sunday dosing dur
ing the year 1905. They admit that the
agreement on the part of the saloon keep
ers, In the main, has been strictly com
plied with. They admit further that the
saloons of Omaha were conducted better
and more orderly in 1905 than at any time
heretofore. This iact Is well known to
the public and has been frequently com
mented upon. It being admitted that the
saloon keepers having kept their part of
the agreement, and it being now known
that the Civic Federation has repudiated
Its part of said agreement, In view of the
fact that the letter of the Civic Federa
tion was addressed to the public, let the
public now decide which is to be the more
believed the side which has kept Its agree
ment or the one which has repudiated its
agreement. JOHN W. PARISH.
How to Cur a Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold with
out unnecessary loss of time Is one In
which we are all more or less Interested,
for the quicker a cold Is gotten rid of the
less the danger of pneumonia and other
serious diseases. Mr. B. W. L. Hall ot
Wavetly, Va., has used Chamberlain'
Cough Remedy for years and says: "I
firmly believe Chamberlain's Couh Rem
edy to be absolutely the best preparation
on the market for colds. I have recom
mended It to my friends and they all agree
with me."

Leave the Farm.
Captain E. I Bradley of Chicago, founder
and the present head of the Allaiulale
farm, a school for homeless boys, deliv
ered an Interesting address Friday even
ing at Crelghton Law school under the
auspices of the social science department
of the Woman's club on the "History, Ob
ject and Purposes of Allandale Farm."
Captain Bradley was introduced by Judge
Day of the Omaha Juvenile court, who
gave a short outline of the work of the
court sinco its Institution In this city dur
ing the past year. Speaking of the de
tention home, Judge Day said that it did
not meet all the requirements desired, and
that the one great need for the home was
some means of employment for the boys.
Captain Bradly had not yet began to
apeak when a delegation of three newsboys
appeared ar.d presented him with a hand
some bouquet of roses. Captain Bradley
acknowledged the gift by kissing the boy
who made the presentation, with the re
mark: "Thank you, boys, I am one of
you." On the subject of the Allandale
farm he said:
It was first established ten years ago
as the result of a choir boys' summer en
campment. There was a small fund left
over from that encampment, and It wait
agreed by the hoys to appropriate the bal
ance to the benefit of an outing for poor,
homeless boys for a few days. The experi
ment was so alpiial a success that Allan
dale farm is the result, which now com
prises a colony of sixty-five boys. The
colony consists of six cottages, with about
ten boys to the family, which Is presided
over by a mother, who has been especially
selected for her qualifications for earing
for and Interesting children. The colony
is located on the Wisconsin Central rail
way, about fifty miles from Chicago. The
cottages were built by the boys themselves
and the colony Is governed 111 the com
munity form by the boys themselves, who
form a municipality, with council, courts,
officials, etc., with the speaker as mayor.
Pas to be Uood.
The institution started out with forty
acres and now comprises a farm of 1JU
acres. It Is equipped with a dairy farm
1 costing 1 1. ("1. and is sustained by volun
. tary contributions and is under the con
i trof of a board of iiihiihk' th living in t'iil
j cago. The wholn enterprise is a private
1 affair, without state aid or being subjected
to state supervision. The boys are paid
S3 Dcr week and iav IJ.SO Her week for
board. The remaining E) cents Is placed
to their credit, but for Infrucuons of the
niuiikipul ordinances of the polony they
are fined, and if falling below the i cents,
become paupers and are required to do
extra work to bring them back t "citizen
ship" again.
Corpoieal punishment is not practiced,
and the hoys are put on their honor, be
ing rigidly subject to the municipal ordi
nances of their own creation. The col
lages are about lri feet apart, to give the
family as much of a distinct individuality
as possible. The boys are taught to re
spect and love animals and birds. A boy
who leaves the home fur twelve hours
loses his citizenship. A good school is pro
vided for elementary education under
competent teachers, and the school day
lasts six hours, with evening ! lures. The
boys are kept there until they become of a
self-supporting age and a supervisory In
terest is held over them until they are
married. The Allandale house In Chicago
Is a part of the institution, and the boys
have access to It when In Chicago. een
after they have left the farm. The re
cruits for the school are derived from the
chari'able assiciai 10ns of the Itv or are
ptcsed up on the streets, especially from
liie Kin11y ul News alley, gome of the
boys are from other states, and they are
Invariably surrounded with the best of
Influences and every effort Is made to
make them self-respecting and self-supporting.
The farm has been a success from
tho start.
Asked In reference to the best method of
I starting such ft colony, Captain Bradley
said that It was advisable to start In 11
small way and let the colony grow of Itself.
By this means It gave the hoys a proprie
tary interest in the colony that would
never languish.
