In a few cases where parties hMil been in Jail before and those Interceding In their behalf brought railroad ticket and allowed them to me, where they Absolutely agreed to leave t lie city. pardoned them. In some cases where the man and wife had trouble and the wife appeared egttlnst him, which re sulted in conviction, and then In two or three days she repented and needed her husband's help to support herself and fam ily, and she came In person and asked for his release, and I felt certain that he would change his ways, 1 pardoned him. and ho on down the line. The class of peo ple I pardon are not the men that hold tip and rob and murder. Those cases are en tirely out of my Jurisdiction and go to the official of the county. To give my par dons it fair and honest test Is to check over the. names of those pardoned and see how many have been in Jail the second time. I aiways warn those pardoned if caught again they will stay there. Now. Mr. I'reacher. did vou ever slot) to think how much It would cost this city to feed these people? This money comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers. I don't know whether you pay any taxes or not. Are you In favor, as a minister of the gospel, In keeping some poor devil In Jnll j Hint na wrongen no man. only oossiuiy taken a little too much - liquor, Ihat he shall remain In a crowded Jail, where most of the time from eight to ten men ate crowded Into one small cell, on account of the limited condition or our Jails, and auffer for from ten to thirty days? in many cases families are dependent upon the support of these men; others have good positions they might lose. I 1 ave recommended and urged, during my short tenn In office, that we provide more room In our jail. I'p to now nothing Iihs been done, largely On account of lack of funds. How much of an Investigation have you made as to the kind of people I have pardoned? I will venture to say that you have never even looked over the records. I know you have never had the fairness to mention the matter to nie. I will further venture to say that you have never stuck your head Into either Jail or the police station, and yet yon. sir, preach it nermon to a great congregation) CTitlcU ing me without evert a Hingis Investigation. I stand ready to meet you or any other man and defend my .action aa,V chief executive of this city any place on. earth. In conclusion, permit me to say that no man will go farther than t will to punish a criminal. I stand ready to do this at any time. Your truly. JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor. SEARCH IN TI1E BURRE CASE Family, Fritidi tad Elsbaucb. Still Adhsrs to Murdtr Theory. HAZE BELIEF OF ACCIDENT UNPOPULAR Relatives Relax So Fffort In Their Determination to Ferret tint the Mystery of Bny'e Heath. However conclusive the deductions of the sheriff's office may be (list Herbert O. Burke came to his death by the accidental falling from a cinder car at Florence a week at') Sunday night, the family of young Burke. John Steel and County At torney Slabaugh are still of the opinion that Burke was murdered and laid whore he was found. Some recent developments give color to the theory ofmurder. New rumors and vague clues are coming to the front at Intervals, the last one being that young Burke wa heard to say that he was going to Florence the Sunday even ing of his death to secure settlement for .1 cow that had been bought there hy the Burke firm. This story, while In the miun true, referred to a transaction of two or more weeks previous to his death and the cow- had been settled for and the transac tion closed. "Kipert" Want Reward Flrat. Saturday last a couple 6f men clnlinlng to be detectives approached Mr. Steel wlt'.i a proposition to unearth the murder of young Burke If they were advanced some preliminary funds. They professed to be expert In the line of ferreting out mysterious murders and while not claim ing to have any clues, intimated they were In a position to get hold of some valuable Information.' Mr. Steel told them he could not advance any money, but that the large reward for any Information leading to the upiirehenslon of the murderer or murderers still held good. Possibly the most significant fact con nected with young Burke's death and which lias Just come to light is that the night watchman at the Minne Lusa pump ing station passed directly over the ground where Burke's body lay between 7:30 and 8 o'clock that Sunday night nnd did not see any body. Had the body been lying there then he could not have avoided seeing it. The Inference naturally fol lows that the body must either have been laid or fallen there after the watchman had made his rounds. It Is now definitely determined that the violence which resulted In young Burke's death must havo happened at 7:10 o'clock Sunday night, as that Is the hour his watch stopped. This watchman stated further' that on that same night and at that hour, there were three or four ash cars on the switch that runs between the pump house and tha cinder dumping platform which young Burke must have gone completely around to reach the dumping' platform from which It la alleged he fell to death. Family "till Searching. The Burke family will not relax any efforts to solve the mystery of Herbert Burke's death. A member handed the following notice for publication In The Bee: The family of Herbert Burke whose tragic death Is still a deep mystery Is very anxious to, hear from any one wlii was on the car leaving Ames Ave. for Florence Sunday evening, October "til, between the hours of 6:."0 and 1:15. who may have noticed a young man resembling Herbert Burke.

William Collier, the Inimitable, will be at. the Boyd theater this evening for a single performance of "On the Quiet," a comedy of the type Collier has made so successful. He Is returning from a tour the antipodes, where he wa very huccess ful. and Is accompanied by a company of players especially selected by Charles Frohman for the Australian trip. . Walker Whiteside this season haa a play that tells a definite modern story In a human way, and has been doing very well with It. It Is called "The Magic Melody," and tells of the love of a German musician for the daughter of a multi-millionaire. Home startling complications are Intro duced In the action of the drama, but all are natural and plausible, and work out In a reasonable way. Miss Wulstan is sup porting the star this season, and a good company Is back of them. Mr. Whiteside begins his engagement at the Boyd on Thursday evening and stays the 'rest of the week, with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. "Held by the Enemy" is doing very well at the Burwood this week. The next matinee will be on Thursday afternoon, a convenience for the shopping women. fTROM. mjH JOI THK DAWKKlFs Hnrknniirl and ' Utrelf Don Mnlrakln After. Soma Delay. IOWA C1TV; la., Oct. 16.-(SpcciaU-lowa has soen -tlie first real rift In the cloud of gloom which has been hovering civrr the toot ball Kridlron since the open ing day of the present season. The silver lining has appeared on account fit several things, but principally liecouse Rockwood. for two seasons a tower ot strength at right guard, and Jack Streff one of the best ends in the state, have finally decbl"d to play with the tam this year. I'rged on by the necessities of the situation, botli men have decided that, desolte' tin fact that they are In their senior years in the colleges of law and medicine, re spectively, tmj tesni Is In sore need of their services and that they would re sound to the call of l.fiiW rooters to don the moleskin. Rockwood reported on Mon day night. Streff is expected to come out the middle, of the week. fresco White, the big end who has b"en laid up for ten days with a bad ankle, and Chick Kirk, who has been following the side line for the same reason for four days, have returned to the gome. But the greatest surprise for Iowa rooters this year Is the moving of Morrey Kent from his new position at left, halfback to' his old position at qusrter. This change haa given rise to a great deal of speculation as to the man who is eventually slated to fill Andy Chalmers' old place In case Knt is kept at quartet-back. Collins has been tried out there and there are several o'her men who have been- sulwtltutlnp In the back field, but-it Is confidently intimated that Jack Streff will be moved Into the back field, where hla speed should be a big factor In the ground gaining ability of the back field. Rockwood may possibly line up In a new position this yenr. 'a Iowa's weakness in one. tackle demands a man of Rockwood' treat strength. Knowltan ' han been play ing a remarkably strong game on his to siijnn, and with the return of Cresco White to tlie game It is practically certain that the end positions will go to them. The guards are a' yet nnselected and the coachea are up In tlie air over the m'n who will play Hie- positions. Elliot lias not shown the steam expected of him, but It la confidently heller ed that the first con test with Missouri will show that he has the making of a grant foot ball player. The situation Is not ,s critical here as It has been, and rapid ., Improvement during the next wtek la expected. SPORTS OF A DAY. UAHLMA t - ON THE DEFENSIVE .

A former Omaha man. who Is now well, up In the railroad world In Chicago, saw the White Sox beat the Cubs at the Went Side grounds last Thursday, and this Is how he did It, according to the Chicago News: A certain department head In one of the l.taj Chicago railroad offices added a new hint today to the life of base ball excuse which are being (lerpetrated on employers ail over the clty Desiring to get off to the West Side contest yesterday, he was at the same time afraid to set a "bad ex ample" to his subordinates. In a confer ence between department managers and their superior In the morning he hit on a plan. "Can I get off this aft. to see game?" he scrawled on a scrap of paper, which he folded and handed to the "lioss." The "big noise" of the office examined the note and then allowed a pleasant ex pression to Increase the distance between his side whiskers. "Kr you may attend to that matter this afternoon." said the boss, aloud. "I'd like to supervise It myself, but I shall leave it entirely In your hands." The wily department manager gravely nodded his head and walked away as sol emn as hla companions. In the afternoon he partially occupied a grandstand seat, and if the boss had been near to hear the noise he would have been well satisfied for leaving the matter "entirely In your hands."

He - etepped ' the distance In the fastest time ever made on an American race course. 1:22. When lie finished and Die phenomenal time was hung out by the official tinier the big crowd arose and gave tlie great sprinter a rousing cheer, which continued for several minuiea In spit of the fact that he wss quoted at 1 to 80 in the betting, and they were unable to bet on him. Johnson and Frank Fsrrell are reported to have won over $26.ss on hi victory, aa they bet that the son of Ben-strome-Roaeleaf would run faster than 1:25. Fourteen horses were carded to go In this event, but they were all scratched except Reauclalra, and it was after the withdrawals that it waa decided to aend him against time. Rose ben broke very quickly at the liarrler and ran the first furlong in twelve second. He kept tip a fast clip and passed the quarter pole In 23V going easily. Around the long upper turn the favorite continued In faultless style, and flashed by th half mile pole In 4tA.
