The condition of ths wreck victims ot
Tuesday morning had not changed at a
late hour last night. In the case ot only
one wu there a ray of hope and that waa
of young Leo Mcaulre. He la still Im
proving slightly and the nurses suy that.
If the- present symptoms -continue li will
ultimately recover. Richard Wennlimd has
n:it yet regained . consciousness, though
there are some signs that ho may become
lucid belore many hours. The nurses held
out no encouragement of his recovery.
Kverythlng la atlll against the recovery of
T. E. Peterson and William Rlcht. The
former especially is suffering agonies.
Jacob Paulson, living at lWO O street,
waa hurt in the wreck, but as he was able
to walk home little attention ha been
given to him. But the fact Is he us hurt
much more than any one has supposed.
It seems that he saw the cars approach
ing and leaned forward as far as he could,
and in that way, escaped the awful crush
in the others on the seat received. H

Wounds and. fu's, and bruises along the
back, from which many pnrtirlus ot giant

for home and on arriving there ho fell
In a faint on the floor. l)r. R. E. Bcpln
del has had charge of the case, and he said
lust night that so far as he knew the man
had all chances of recovery. Il Is re
ported, however, that he has had several
Inking spells, during which he has fainted.
He Is an old man of S years and his re
covery will, therefore, be the longer de

Squabble Over Miior oile.
There .was a meeting ot the Board of
Vlrir and Police commissioners last night
and the principal topic under discussion
was the question of the publication - of
notices of the liquor licenses. J. M. Tan
ner contended that they should and must
be published in South Omaha and that such
was the special provision of the charter.
The other side contended that the charter
provision did not In any manner repeal the
provisions of the Slocumb law; that they
were both either special laws or they were
both general laws and therefore in con
flict. The prior law It was contended would
hold unless the latter law specifically re
pealed the provisions of the former. After
somo discussion of the question the board
decided on Thursday of the coming week
for its decision of the question. Both par
ties to the controversy will file briefs with
the Board of Fire and Police commission
ers. The Interests of the Seuth Omaha
papers were represented by E. W. Rlmeral
of Omaha and the Omaha dallies by G. M.
Hitchcock and Victor Rosewater.
After the newspaper representatives had
X-w4thdrawn the board listened to the read
ing of a petition from the residents In the
vicinity ot Thirtieth and L. streets asking
that the scarlet women who have tnken up
quarters there Plr.ce they were moved from
Railroad avenue be compelled to vacate
again. This will be the order ot the board
at the meeting next Thursday night, and
In the meatittm- the police will give the
women notice that theywlll be required 10
change tho'r places of habitation. Several J
other mntters of minor Importance were
tiiken up. Tliu hoard warmly congratulated

compli.!ird In rounding up the criminals
during 'he Inst month. The board thenad-
ouvned to meet again Thursday evening.

A. M. Gallagher wis Interviewed lust niht
as to whether lie had accepted the profferel
management c the democratic campaign
for the spring election. He said he had not
determined fully whether he would be able
to lnl:e the position or not, but that he
would make "bis decision before the end of
the week. He-promised to give notice when
he came to a decision. He further declared
that he had been approached by a commit
tee of the candidate! with the request that
he serve. Bo far he had not consulted with
the members of the central oommittee. He
said everything was harmonious between
the candidates and their central committee,
but that some of them had never served
in that capacity before.
This is taken as a virtual admission that
the committee has been learning a thing or
two since Its first meeting find will act with
more circumspection In the matter of as
sessments in the future. .

Omaha Is, therefore, of extraordinary lm
portanee. Mr, I Hartman, president of this great
company, ha been in Omaha for several
day completing the final arrangements,
and will personally conduct th affairs of
the opening.
This store at Omaha I expected by the
management to be one of the best and
moat promising establishments In their
chain of store. Mr. Hartman said In an
interview yesterday: "We never opened a
tor before with such perfect confidence
of success. W are much impressed with
the enterprise of Omaha and the thrift of
it people. We firmly believe that the new
Ideas and new methods ot retailing which

them what a great, generous home furnish

that appreciates progreasiveness, honesty
and liberality."
Th handsome display of goods in this
tore 1 worth a special effort to see on
opening day. Everything for the modorn
bom is shown and everything Is very
pfettlly arranged.
The store Itself 1 very attractive. Deco
rative schemes of unusual natur have

"I was called out of bd last night for
answer to the story publlhed tn tke Key

yesterday," said Captain Palmer Friday,
"and having no papers or documents
with me, was not fully qualified to answer
exactly the charge made and the reporter
also misunderstood my reply in one or
two Instances.
"Here is trie printed record for 1903, cover
ing the proceedings of th board for the
National home." On page 191 appear the
following:
HOT SPRINGS, B. p., July , 112.
After the board had visited and carefully
Inspected the various sites offered for the
location of the natkmal sanitarium, re
cently authorised by act of congress. It was
found thst what Is locally -known as the
"central site" was the best for such fur
pose, and the people of Hot Springs having
offered to donate to the board said site,
conslsilng of not less thsn liO acres of
land lying south of Eleventh street and east
of said street and the hiuff along the main
street of said town, and the people of Hot
Springs, having also offered a deed et
perpetual lease to one or more of the hot
mineral springs located near said silt,
upon motion. It was
Resolved, That the board of mnnager.
National Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers, selects a the site for th national
sanitarium of the National Home tor Dis
abled Volunteer Soldiers, authorised under
act of congress approved May 2$,
what Is known ss the "central site," con
sisting of not less than 100 acres of land,
tying soutn and east of Eleventh street
and the bluff along the main street of said
town, in Hot Springs, 8. D., and that Vaid
ooara accepts one or more ot the hot
mineral springs tendered, the particular
springs to be designated at a future time.
Resolved further. That the sanitarium
shall be officially known as the "Battle
Mountain Sanitarium. National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers."
Three Sites Offered.
"Ther wer three site offered by the
cltlien of Hot Springs, one beyond the ex
treme northern limit of the town (the town
covers probably 1,000 acres of platted terri
tory). The other sit was beyond the ex
treme southern limit of the town. The sit
elected, called the central site, waa In the
center of th city, between the two prin
cipal sections of the town, on a Command
ing bluff or plateau Jutting out from Battle
Mountain. There has been absolutely no
change ot site since this selection. The se
lection was made by the board, at least
seven members being present.
I confidently believe that not "a member
of the board was Improperly approached by
a single cltisen of Hot Springs or any
other place. The selection . gave general
satisfaction and to the present 'date there
has never been a murmur of criticism. At
the time of this selection I feet quite sure
that I had never met Hon. E. W. Martin
and do not remember of meeting him until
some time afterward.
"Four months later, or to be exact, on
the 21th ot November, 1902, I bargained
with the then Congressman Martin, who
had Just been elected to congress for one
fifth Interest In 290 acres of very rough
land, adjoining th extreme northers limit
of a plat of eighty-two lot that had been
platted by Martin and other In the boom
days, which- plat louche in part only, at
least over 100 acres belonging to the sani
tarium site on the north Ride.
Bays to . Aid Sanitarians.
"I also bought a one-fifth interest In these
lots, for all of which I paid cash, really
more than tb property wa worth. I
bought it a an investment, hoping that it
would be worth, In five or ten year, double
the amount invested. I wa Influenced also
by th idea that If I were a taxpayer and
interested in Hot Springs, I might have
more influence with the city government In
the matter ' ot much needed sewers, im
proved streets, etc., all tending to the bet
terment of th sanitarium. After holding
this ground ovr three year it wa offered
for sale nearly a month ago fer the original
price and 6 per rent Interest. This purchase
was not made until four month after the
location of the site and, a before stated,
six months after the passage of the act
making the appropriation, etc.
"A previously stated, Congressman
Martin, who evas at th tlm of the location
not a member of congress, and a cltisen
of Deadwood, - had nothing to do with
location of th Soldier Home, so far ss
I am aware.
"Th declaration of trust from Martin
to Ellis T.- Pierce, Norman T. Mason,
France M. Dobson, Charles L. Martin,
Henry E. Palmer. E. W. Martin waa
placed upon record. December 27. 1902 at
f:30 a. m., and recorded In book three, mis
cellaneous, page $90. P. J. Franeen, register
of deeds by Maya Frangen, deputy.
"It ha been a well known fact that I
have owned tbla interest ever alnc the
filing of this document. I feel confident
that I had a perfect right to make the
Investment, 'especially after . all official
action bad been duly tagen and the ap
propriation made for the sanitarium, and
cannot understand why Martin's political
enemies should stab me to . Injure him,
especially when the stroke is an Injury to
my good nam and good . character."
What Canaed Anwer.
Th above is called forth by th follow
ing: KEYSTONE. 8. D., March IB. (Special
Telegram.) The Recorder, published at this
place, has a story today to th effect that
Congressman Martin used Improper influ
ence in locating the old soldiers' home at
Hot Springs. A evidence it publish a
transcript of a declaration of trust on fll
in Fall River county. This show that
Henry E. Palmer ha a one-fifth Interest
in land adjoining th bom and there Is
nothing else to show bow he got that In
terest unless It waa conveyed to him by
Martin in the deed of trust. The choice
of a sit wa originally made by General
McMahon, and Captain Palmer c'.ianged it
to be near thla land of Martin s.
