TOWNE DISCOVERS AN ISSUE
Western Conaressmnn from Ifif York
Makes Bitter Attack on the
President.
KANSAS CITT. April -Representa
tive Charles A. Towns of New York, re
sponding to a toast here last night at the
Jefferson day banquet, went outside his
set speech to eulogize William J. Bryan
and to bitterly attack President Roosevelt.
Both sentiments aroused tho most Intense
enthusiasm, reference to the Nebraskun
ending in a demonstration that amounted
to an uproar. Mr. Towns did not refer to
Mr. Bryan by name. "Your toastmaster
has put on me the duty of referrtnc to
our great standard-bearer of 1906," said ho.
'I feel almost that he himself, in tar
away India, must bo catching the enthu
siasm of your homage tonight."
Mr. Towne then read from an editorial
in which sympathy was offered to the dem
ocratic editor who was wont to" write col
umns on imperialism and free silver.
'I am as thankful aa any one that the
money question has worked ltseii out so
satisfactorily," resumed Mr. Towne. "But
I cannot accept In silence the popular ver
sion of why tho predicted panic that was
to follow the adoption of the gold standard
did not materialise. The panic did not
occur because, since 1S96, the country bus
produced enough gold to supply the money j
market without material increase in the
silver output. We owe our prosperity to
Providence, not to a policy. When men
refused to open the mint God opened the
mines."
Then Mr. Towne attacked President
Roosevelt. "I'm going to take you Into
my confidence this much," said the speaker,
"by telling you that I am going back to
Washington with the avowed purpose of
exposing President Roosevelt. He is the
greatest promlser and smallest performer
since the days of Judas Iscariot. He
filched his rate legislation program frorrr-a
national democratic platform and has now
laid down on his own bill; he sends for
legislators and lectures them like boys.
"And his tools consider them for a min
ute. They are a speaker and a degenerate
house. Nowadays there are three steps
in national legislation getting the permis
sion of 'Uncle Joe' to introduce a bill and
then securing Its passage In the house
and the senate. I get no show In the
house. I might as well make a power of
attorney to the speaker and go back home
and get to work. I wouldn't stay in con
gress or in the democratic party if I did
not believe that democracy will eventually
triumph In national affairs."
It was far after midnight before the
speechmaklng was finished and Mr.
Towne's response was to one of the last
toasts on the program.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Protest Tiled with Police Board Azainut
Grantina; Number of Saloou Lkenses.
NOTICES NOT PROPERLY ADVERTISED
F.tealog Bee Determined to Protect
Ita Rlajhta and the Rights of Its
I'atrona 0'ell Files Deed
to City Hall site.
Protests were filed with the Board of
Fire and Police commissioners yesterday
noon against the granting of liquor li
censes, the notices of which have not bc-m
properly Inserted In The Evening Bee. the
paper having the largest circulation in
Douglas county. The licenses protested
are those which have been advertised in
the World-Herald and the South Omaha
Pally IH-mocrat. Investigation has proved
that the two papers mentioned have in
numerous, if not all, cases published the
notices for the saloon men with the un
derstanding that if their case failed in
the court of appeal aa it did in the district
court the fee would not be exacted. The
Bee has assured the South Omaha men
that they will be completely protected In
their rights. In this controversy The Be
has maintained from the start that It has
the plain reading of the statute known
as the Slocumb law behind its action.
It Is a significant fact that moat of
the South Omaha saloon men are having
more confidence in the statements of The
Evening Bee, since more than twenty no
tices were turned into The Bee office for
publication yesterday forenoon. Most of
these Include the notlres of the Arms con
nected In a business way with the Jotter
Brewing company. Many of the liquor
dealers consulted yesterday declared that
the business dealings of The lice In South
Omaha had always been on the square.
The members of the Board of Fire and
Police commissioners expressed no sur
prlxe at the filing of the contests for t lie
reas m that they know the management
proposed to put the matter to the test In
a thorough manner. They expected simi
lar protests from the other side of the con
troversy also, but as yet none have been
received. The saloon men who wish to be
ready to open their places of business for
the new year on the first of May will
have to file all their applications with the
board Monday. In order to have the no
tices correspond, as well. It will be neces
sary that they be turned In at the South
Omaha efhee of the Bee by 11 : a m.
They will then appear in the evinlng Issue
of the paper.
Some of the saloon men Intimated that
the Board of Fire and Police commissioners
had given them to understand that they
would get their licenses, whichever paper
they gave tluir notices to. This appears
to be an error. Secretary Burquest stated
that he Invariably advised the men who
questioned him that he could not positively
say which paier was the right one, but
that the dealers should follow the court's
instructions and place the publications
with the paper which has the largest cir
culation in the county. The liquor dealers
are all anxious to comply with the laws of
the state. Tho Bee will guarantee that
all rights of these men will be protected.
0"Vell Files Deed.
The latest In the South Omaha city hall
controversy Is the tiling of the title deed
to the O'Xlol property with the city clerk.
This was done Friday and by it Mr. O'Noll
has conveyed all his lights to the property
to the city of 6-uth Omaha without com
pensation. The warrant ordered by the
council cannot be drawn by reason of the
Injunction proceedings which have not yet
come to trial. The ia was to have been
tried Friday morning, but the defendants
secured a continuance until Monday on
the ground that their counsel had not been
able to prepare for the case, being absent
from the city.
Vlth regard to the Injunction issued
against the Rock Ixland road, there has
been no material iliange. The case Is to
be tried Tuesday. It is said an attempt is
being made by Interested parties to reach
an agreement without resort to litigation.

Regarding the statement made public
lately respecting the appointments for the
city positions, Thomas Doctor stated last
night that there was no ground for any of
them. He said the names to which so much

by him In private conversation, but none of
them had been finally selected. Their men
tion had merely been tentative as under
consideration until It la known whether the
city council will agree with tha chief ex
ecutive. As yet the council has not been
consulted as. a body nor Individually. The
matter of appointments will be part of the
order of business at Monday night's council

ishing l oaches an ew ( ode.
NEW YORK. April 14-Tho American
Intercollegiate football rul'w committee met
here todiy and completed Its labors in the
matter of the revision of the rules looking
to a general reform of the game. The sole
effort of the committee was to simplify
and clarify the wording. The definition of
the rule providing that a plitx r shall be on
the line of scrimmage on offense was
parsed, several additional penalties Intro
duced and provisions made for the enforce
ment of penalties.
Tripping Wits more specifically defined to
day. The rule passed was:
"Tripping A player trips another when
he obstructs him below- the knee with that
part of the leg that Is below tho knee.
"Note Tills doe not prevent a player
from diving under a player, provided he
does not trip us d. tlncl above.'
In the rule devised to eliminate mass
plays addilioiiul sufefruards were Intro
duced to insuru the possibility of evading it
as follows:
"No player of those originally occupying
the positions of center, guard or ta.-kle,
that Is the tlva middle players of the line,
may drop tiack from the linn of scrimmage
on the offense unless he la at least five
yards hack of the line of scrimmage when

acres In that county. The average waa
about 116 an acre with 111 for the lowest
pilceed tracts and fcO for the highest.
Marshall county Is practically cut Into two
divisions by state lands, a large amount of
selection having been made In a belt
through the .central part of the county. It
was a part of the "belt" which was disposed
of. Tho people of that county are anxious
that this land be placed on the market as
