PLEA FOR THEJJSERS OF COAL
Protest is Made by Ancient Fair on Barons
Bulling the Market.
STENCH THAT SMELLS TO HEAVEN
Oldest Inhabitant and Carefal Ok

Prices Simply 4o Satisfy

"A penny for your thought," remarked
the Oldest Inhabitant .to the Careful Ob
server Thursday morning, when their
mouths watered and ( their eyct grew dim
at tha sight of a car of conl on a aide
track under the Douglus street bridge.
"Keep your money, comrade, for I will
tell you what la on my mind without
money and without price. I would not
pollute my" brain by .trucking Its thoughts
on tha market. My thoughts belong to
the world, and so long as the, frau has a
Hide of beef and sack of flour ahead and
have tho endorsement of my grocery
man, I feel Content fd 'give out my scintil

Careful .Observer.
"Draw the veil from your mental re
cesses and I will be glad to give you a
hearing." continued the ancient and honor
able habitue.
. . Coal. BarviM' Crime.
Then the twain wealed themselves on
empty barrels u.nd the Careful Observer
taught them, saying:
"I believe, as surely as I live, that one
of the greatest crimes of the century Is
tho way , In' which the coal combine are
drawing the very life blood out of the
people to make a merry feast for them
selves. It Is something which smells to
hesvW'and' must ; be ''a ' s't'elicn ' In the nos
trils of the. devil htrhseTf. A coal man
told me only yesterday. When I questioned
' him regarding" the coal situation, that the
people might be glad If they secured coal
at any price In aweck or so. Then he
blandly reclined In his easy chair, as much
hs to ask. "And what' will the people do
about HV- '
"And, In my mind's enr, I could hear
the hills resound' With the echo, 'What will
the people do atioilt It?" I then walked out
to the street n.l bought an afternoon
paper, which contained the information
that th coal barons not these Omaha re
tailers, but the producers at the mines
would restrict the output and thus bring
up the prices another notch and further
try the patience of the people. Why, dur
ing the last year more coal was mined In
this country than In any previous year
of Its history. Tho bowels of the earth
fairly teem with coal, enough and plenty
toi last for centuries and centuries, and
yet a combination of human parasites
would horde up the fuel of the earth and
draw levy from the people In a country
where Christianity Is supposed to have
reached its highest standard; In a country
that is commanding the attention of the
world for Its great achievements and won
derful advancement."

coal proposition, but have been so busy
debating with my wife whether to buy an
Ice box this spring that I have allowed the
coal matter to go by default. But I feel
that coal Is something which Interests
everyone. Our Interests sre so commingled
that what affects one affects all. For one
I raise my right hand and protest against
the abuses bring practiced on society by
tho cofcl octopus. I would not be under
stood as being rabidly against corpora
tions or combines when properly con
ducted. I believe It Is necessary In this
great land of ours to have, organizations
of men of large mentalities to carry out
large projects, but when a combination
seeks to exploit any human necessity to
satiate its lust for wealth, then I rise to a
point of order and demand tho chair to
make an Investigation," interposed the Old
est Inhabitant."
Then the Careful Observer spoke again:
"In the beginning the Lord made heaven
and earth, and In His great, eternal plan
stored tho earth with conl. He told His
people to be fruitful and multiply and
burn plenty of coal, but He did not toll
any set of men to get together and by
sundry subterfuges practice extortion Just
because they could. He did not tell them
to force a strike by Intolerable conditions
In order to send the price of coal up. I
think the coal combine is entitled to a rea
sonable profit, but I also think a crimp
should be put In . Its present operations.
However, I feel a day of reckoning will
come, and the books will be fairly bal
anced. The coal men are only human,
after all."
People Paying Dearly.
"But, In the meantime, the people are
paying dearly for their whistle," said the
Oldest Inhabitant.
"Yes; you must remember that experience
always costs a good tuition fee," con
tinued the Observer. "Speaking of ft rem
edy for these ills, I would say the govern
ment should appraise the coat mines, buy
them and sell the output at exact cost of
mining and delivery." ; - "'
"And then, in conclusion," retnarked the
Careful Observer, "I think tho Icemen
Should be brought up on the carpet and
told to be good. They run their prices
up out of all proportion Just because the
crop la short, and then get themselves
spoken of in reverential terms by those
who are afraid they will not get any Ice
at all If they say mean things about the
Iceman. I believe the coal men and the
Ice men should bo allowed to move an 1
have their being. They have families to
provide for and pew rents to pay, but un
less they mix reason with their prices, I,
for one, will exclude ice from my budget
this season and burn corncobs for fuel."

VAGUE H0PE0F LEASE BILL
Indefinite Expectation Entertained by
Vr II. Reynolds Who Bark Con
gressional Stone Wall.
Former State Senator W. H. Reynolds of
Mullen is In the city, a guest at the Mer
chants. Senator Reynolds has just re
turned from Washington, where he ap
peared before "the committee on public
lands to present the cattle and ranchmen's
side of the. land leasing proposition.
"One thing Is quite certain, and that is
It la pretty difficult to get a thorough un
derstanding of the land situation before
congress," said Senator Reynolds. "There
are so many conflicting interests that It
seems next to impossible to accomplish
muoh. Of course, we out In the cattle
country would prefer some sort of leasing
measure. I sought to secure an amend
ment to the bill providing for a classifi
cation of the lands according to their
value, and then lease them accordingly,
say, from 1 cent per acre upward, for a
term of live years. It is, however, hard to
convince the people In the east that any
propsltlon to lease lands at 1 cent per aeie
for any purpose means there is a big Job
In It, when, us a matter of fact, there are
lots and lots of acres of land out there
that are not worth that. I sometimes think
a plan somewhat after the lease of the
state school lands might meet the require
ments of the situation, but the trouble
would be the counties In which these la mis
are located would be deprived under that
system of any revenue from the lauds, and
all the money realised from them by lease
would go Into the general school fund.
"I am not entirely decided In my mind as
to the best solution of the land question
In the cattle country. We have been going
along up there under the old, time honored
conditions, and the proposed radical
changes, even though of indefinite ac-
romplishmenl. are mixing things badly
wlth us. I think some sort of a lease bill
will be passed, especially along the lines as
recommended by the president, but when I
cannot tell."

The above letter, accompanied by a
pledge for 10,K), from Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Hoagland was received Just at
noon at the Young Women's Christian asso

letters ar, but when the discovery was
made of the significance of the letter the
scene was remarkable. Women shrieked,
then yelled, clapped hands, sobbed and
shed tears, and finally Mrs. Tfldcn offered
a prayer of thankfulness. : ,,
A committee had waited on Mr. Hoag
land the day before and had received the
assurance that something .wqujd, he. .done
and "something, the association will not be

CHIEF HAS QUEER PICTURE
Photoa-raph Representing Chinese
Proverb In Which Donahue Places
Mnrh (onlilmrr and Respect.
Chief of Police Donahue has Just had
placed over his desk a framed photograph
which Is more than a novelty In Its way.
The picture suggests a sermon without
words, for there is not even a letter on
the photograph. The photograph Is a
group of three grotesque tlgures resem
bling apes in general appearances. Tha
figures are shown kneeling, one to the left
holding Its hands over Its mouth, the
middle one obscuring Its eyes with its
hands, while the hands of the right figure
are over its ears. The photograph was
taken of a Chinese Image of ancient date
and is bused ou un old Chinese proverb,
which states that much of mortal woe Is
caused by the mouth, eyes and ears, in
that people either say, see or hear too
much or give a wrong construction often
to what they say, see or hear.
Chief Donahue, who Is something of a
philosopher In his way, believes the old
Chinese piovevb is as applicable today as
It was centuries ago. Hereafter when
persons call on the chief with a long tale
of Imaginary grievances they will, as be
fore, be given a respectful hearing, but In
many cases the chief thinks he will be
able to Illustrate his point In u far better
way by pointing to the picture and then
telling what it suggests.
The photograph referred to was sent to
the chief from Honolulu and there are
only three of theiyin existence. An Amer
ican tourist took the photograph unob
served by Chinese guards, who would have
quickly resented the tourist's uctious had
they known what occurred.

GOSSIP OF THE POLITICIANS
Two Hundred and TifUen Affidavit Tiled
for Special Rerutration.
ONE BROATCHITE IN JAIL LAST FALL
Reason Why He IHd Sot Then Real
ter Dark (loads Hover Over
Some of the Rroatrh
Footstools.
Two hundred and fifteen affidavits from
persons who have declared they had a per
fect right to register specially for the April
primaries were stacked up in the city
clerk's office at noon Thursday waiting for
two freeholders from the precinct In which
each affiant resides to come In and swear lo
the truth of his statements. At the same
hour seventy-five affidavits had been en
tirely completed and certificates to this ef
fect Issued. Of the 215 remaining Incom
plete, more than fifty belonged to tha Third
ward and nearly all the bunch were attri
butable, to the Droalch dragnet which has
been set In motion over the whole city to
rake la any and all who have cause to
petition for immunity In the- police court
and from other kinds of authority In the
pursuit of their occupations an amuse
ments. As a sample of the kind ot cltlxens who
are being marched up and sworn In as
qualified to vote Is one affidavit signed by
Carl Fisher, a negro, who swears the rea
son why he couldn't register last fall was
because he was "In Jail during the last
three registration days." Mr. Fisher givfs
his residence as 330 Dewey avenue. City
Attorney Breen says the excuse given Is
not good under the statutes, but the city
clerk is said to be inclined to allow It.
In the Third ward where City Prosecutor
Tom Lee and other Broatch henchmen have
been whipping blacks, Italians and other
races In platoons headed toward the clty
hall, great consternation was caused by
receiving the news that the Civic Feder
ation people and Benson .campaign man
agers were taking copies of every affidavit
for presentation at the next grand Jury In
an effort further to demoralize the old
Third ward machine. Accompanying this
Information came the knowledge that false
registration Is a felony punishable by from
one to five years in the penitentiary. Not
only is the person who registers falsely
subject to this penalty, but any person
who aids or procures such registration Is
likewise liable.
Another unpalatable dish for mental con
sumption came In the consideration of the
oath which two resident freeholders of the
precinct must take in order to swear In a
special registration. The oath makes the
freeholders declare "the person who signed
the foregoing affidavit Is a duly qualified
voter of the city of Omaha," a member of
a designated party, entitled to vote at that
party's primaries, and' to swear on his
own knowledge the excuse for nonregistra
tion is true. If It can be shown these free
holders testified falsely they are liable to
perjury and a penitentiary sentence.
Both these considerations are held re
sponsible for the big stack of uncompleted
affidavits made by enforced Broatch sup
porters and a big falling off In the Influx
of negroes and other Third ward habitues.
The most of the. Benson and Hennings un
registered voters were accompanied by the
freeholders, and their affidavits were com
pleted at once. It looks as though many
of the Broatch' documents will never be
made out In full. The;:method of permit
ting two freeholders to glance over a bunch
of affidavits and swear they are true on the
face of - Iti smacks of timuifllclency, if not
corruption. Although the clerk says he
Will permit It, every name flpeclally regis
tered must he published,' With the address.
In the official newspaper c-f trie city for
several days. Ample time will be afforded
for close Investigation. 1
Prosecutions are sure to follow in the
wake of false registration. The man Ille
gally registered does not have to partici
pate in a primary or election to send him
to state's prison. The tnere fact that he
tried to make out he was qualified to vote
when ho was not is sufficient to send him
over the road.
Another tale the opposition to Hennings
is circulating with a view to heading off
his growing strength is that Dr. 8. D.
Mercer had ome time- ago promised hi
support to Benson, and had later said that
the situation was changed, so he was going
to vote for Hennings, and that the reason
Dr. Mercer changed his mind was bo
cause "Hennings had paid Dr. Mercer

$2,000 damages for appropriation of prop
erty for the Saddle creek sewer, and had
not deducted the back taxes from this
amount."
The story is not disturbing Hennings in
the least .because the records effectually
disprove It. Asked about It, Mr. Hen
nings said:
"During the six years I have been In
office I paid Dr. Mercer a total of J95 In
damages for six pieces of lots condemend
for the right-of-way for the Saddle Creek
sewer. A great deal of the property for
the Saddle Creek sewer right-of-way was
practically donated to the city and only a
nominal amount of $1 a tot awarded. The
ordinance appropriating property along
Saddle creek was turned over to me during
my first term in 1902. Mr. Adtfms, the as
sistant city attorney at tnat time, told me
tax receipts were not legal tender and that
the tender had to be maile In actual cash.
Only yesterday City Attorney. Breen told
me this was still an open question and
that he would like to have a test case to
have this matter settled. Mr. Adams still
maintains that where the city acquires
property by condemnations it cannot de
duct Its own tax lien from the award. I
am not an attorney and I simply carried
out the Instructions of the mayor, the
council and the legal department."
John T. Cathers defaulted in his protest
against allowing Councilman Evatts' name
going on the primary ballot and City Clerk
Klbourn overruled the protest. A time had
been set for a hearing at 10 o'clock. Every
one was on hand but Carriers. It was re
ported that he was busy in court and the
clerk sent a messenger to Jog his memory,
but no Cathers showed up. Shortly after
11 o'clock Elbourn awarded the verdict to
Evans and announced that his name would
go on the voting card.
It would have made little difference had
Cathers showed up. Assistant City Attor
ney Herdman had written an opinion on
the protest In which he found Cathers to
the bad, and unsustainable on at least to
Counts: First, that he had not filed his
protest within three days, as the law pro
vides. Second, that the allegation that
Evans is not a freeholder cuts no Ice, tie-
cause the strictest construction of the law
pcsslble makes It clear that property own
ing Is Immaterial at least until the day
a COUnClimun is eiecieu. i no coon mi
state against Moores was cited to uphold
this view. The attorney said, also, thai
the law was open to the view that a coun
cllmanio candidate does not need to own
property until he actually takes possession
of his office after election.
"The protest," concluded Mr. Herdman,
is Insufficient, and should he overruled."
Although not given a chance to prove l.
Councilman Evans declares he owns prop
erty In the city, and has for fifteen years
or more.
Councilmeii Were unable to shape up a list
of clerks and registrars to fill vacancies in
order to make a complete roster of primary
election officers by 11 o'clock, Thursday
morning, so an adjournment was taken
until 11' o'clock Saturday morning, by which
time it is thought arrangements will be In
good order. In the absence of the active
presence of Councilman Dave O'Brien,
A. A. Al ter ooeupted himself With the" full
duty of lining up the democratic cohorts,
who have an equal show at the clerkships
and one out of every three registrars, who
serve as Judges. As the Jobs pay only U
each, Arter had a hard time, most of the
available democrats apparently being en
gaged in more remunerative employment.
Arter tried to show Elbourn how the law
meant an eight-hour day with pay and one
and one-half pay additional for overtime.
but the big city clerk laughed at the Idea.
Nevertheless an effort is to be made to
get additional compensation for the primary
election officers.

feet on Jackson.
Members of the lodge say the Elks club
house will be erected on thia lot In a year
or two If the neighborhood grows In the
future as present conditions Indicate it
will. They say it would be a good loca
tion as the end of a row of line buildings
along Seventeenth street, and especially
doKlrahle If P. E. ller's proposed hotel Is
built at Sixteenth and Howard streets.
Present plans for building are vague and
the 'property may be sold for a rise In
value beforo a new home Is finally decided
on. i
The Elks have made several attempts to
buy a lot for building purposes, but have
been defeated, as they say, by premature
publication of their plans In the news
papers. Several years ago they decided to
buy a lot on Harney street east of the
Kamge building, the property having been
offered at $10,000, but their decision was
announced In the papers the next morning
and the owrvr immediately advanced the
price to $1,00(.
