Their mi'tlitxls of handling their own hard-earned dollars, if

money mildew at the rate of 3 per cent per annum or until the
bank quits business.

Kaspur was on the stand a short time
after court convened for tha afternoon ses
sion. The feature of Kaspar'a testimony
In the afternoon was thr aworn statement
that the reason he did not conflda hla
suspicions before lie did. which waa Feb
ruary 3. three wreks after the fire, was
because res threatened Ills life If hr told
on hint, and also because Zees promised
to make n fair division of the Insurance
money that he believed would be re
reived. Zees said he lost all his clothing
and other personal effects In the flra.
Mrs. Hertha Hsabbo, wife of a shoe cob
bler, who lived next door to the Zees'
randy store, testified she had a premonition
the store would be burned, as she knew
from her own observations and front the
statements of others that Zeca was not
doing well. She raid she expected the fire,
and It came.
One if Kaspar's sensational statements
while on the stand yesterday afternoon
was, "After the fire I went-to Zees and
said, "You are a pretty good fireman.'
Then Zees sitid, "Kverybody does not know
how to burn a. building. I sprinkled gas
oline over the chairs.' "
Wednenday morning Kaspar waa on the

Zees at the address where the fire broke

"On the day before the fire," Kapar aald,
"Zeea told me he could not sell out and
that the only thing left for him to do was
to burn the building. A few mlnutea before

aald waa for the front door of the store.
He sent me for bread, but when I reached
the bakery I heard thr fire department com
ing, rushed bark to the store, tried the key.

Zera reached the store he waa anxious for
me to keep away from him. aa lie aald It
would look tyd for tia to bo together at

The complaint against Zees and Kaspar

Resolved. That we oppose the pioposeii

lieving it Is Inspired by selfish interests,
that it would be for the beneltt of the few
in the coniinerciul world against the many;
that Its purpose Is to conceniratr Instead
of to lilstilliute trade; that conditions In
this nutlon In no v.ny are the uiii u
where the panels pom operates. We 1h
lleve the postal service of the country
would become a freight can ylng proposi
tion under aucti a luw, with postotnees
converted into warehouses, and th de
partment's annual deficit would assume
enormous proportions; that tlio i.iull sciv
lc now conducted at u loas would be In
creased beyond all possible antlcialioii
and that public interests and private In
terests, neither now nor In the future, de
mand tlila proposed legislation. We favor
the limitation of the franking prlviltKu
sufTlt.-lent to wipe out the present iell
clency, and as tlrst-claas mall matter, ii.s
the law ut present exists, pavs vastly
more than Its Just proportion of the postal
expenses, We ruvor a reduction of the
postage on first-class mall matter Troni 2
cents to 1 cent aa soon us the postal rev
enues will warrant it.
Resolved, That we endorse President
Roosevelt In his efforts to secure legisla
tion giving additional powers to thn In

approve the bill passed by the national
house of representatives to this end and ap
prove the votes of our congressmen for
the measure, that wn request our sena

for this bill. Hint It may he aa forceful
when passed by that hoay as It Is at pres
ent, thus assuring the approval of thn
great majority of the people of this na
tion, who stand with the president for
rate regulation.
Resolved, That we recommend the local
Incorporation of commercial clubs, to the
end that such commercial clubs may be on
a business busts.
We desire to express our thanks to the
Omaha Commercial club. Its oftjeers and
