WASHINGTON, Nov. .-A.lvices re
ceived in Wasnlngton today show that thu
jiresluent, who is aboard tha battieshly

imt, U well on his way time. Tha tianstcr
I'rcm the yacht Mayflower, on wlucu
iho start was mado lrom Washington, to
me Louisiana took -place last mgnt in
Chesapeake bay. Uho ship passed out the
capes to sea early this morn Ins And at
noon passed Capo Ilattoras. The latest
news given out by Secretary Loeb con
cerning the whereabouts of the vessel was
contained In the following dispatch from
Captain Couden, commanding the Louis-
t noon, the Louisiana parsed Cape Hat
lijis. Sea smooih. All well.
gricretnry Loeb expects but one message
feuy from the president unless clrcum
t.uiices Intervene-which require more fre
quent communications. Any matter which
requires the President's personal attention
will be communicated Immediately to him
by wireless telegraph.
Small budgets of the important news of
the day also will bo made up in Wash
ington and sent to the president so he
may be kept accurately and constantly In
formed of what is going on in the United
States.
The first wireless message received at
the Navy department In connection with
the president's Panama canal trip came
today, as follows:
Louisiana sailed from Tiny Point about
11 p. m. last night and was noax Capo
Henry at 5 a. m. today.
Passing; Virginia, Capes.
NORFOLK. V., Nov. 9. President Roose
velt, on board tho United States battleship
Louisiana, bound for the Isthmus of Pan
ama, passed out to sea, through the capes
of Virginia exactly at 6:10 o'clock this
morning. The Louisiana was followed by
the armored cruisers Tennessee and Wash
ington, which are to convoy the battleship
on Its southern trip.
When some distance off Cape Henry the
Louisiana raised signals of some kind,
which the United State weather observer
at tho cape was unable to distinguish be.
cj use of a great amount of smoke being
emitted from he funnels of the Louisiana
and other vessels at the time. Neither of
the warships made any stop, however, and
soon passed out pf sight to the southeast
of Cspe Henry.
The transfer last night of the presidential
party In upper Chesapeake bay from the
yacht Mayflower to the Louisiana was with
out special incident, so far as is known
here
The weather at sea today Is charming
and the conditions for a delightful trip by
the president and his party could not be
more promising than at present.
Wireless telegraph messages are expected
from the president all along the coast. The
Louisiana will not leave the coast shore
for any great distance and will be In touch
by wireless almost during the entire trip.
Wireless telegraphic communication be
tween the battleship Louisiana and the
convoying cruiser Tennessee heard In Nor
folk today, told that all was well with
President Roosevelt and his party, aboard
the Louisiana bound for Panama. ' The
warships were then some distance to the
southeast of Cape Henry, passing down
the North Carolina coast.

darkness. A pitched battle ensued and
four of the attacking party were killed,
one fatally wounded and two captured.
The rangers escaped unscathed.
Governor La n ham today ordered a com
pany of cavalry to Starr county and a spe
cial train Is now carrying troops on a fast
run.
Ths situation In Starr was brought about
by alleged election Irregularities, due to
political clubs supplying Mexican residents
with poll tax receipts and insisting that
they be allowed to vote Judge Welch,
who was assassinated Monday night, had
gone from his home In Corpus Christl
to be present at Rio Grande City on
election day In an effort to prevent dis
orders. He was assassinated while asleep
at night. It Is charged that armed repre
sentatives of political clubs controlling the
Mexican vote patrolled the voting places
on election day and refused to allow mem
bers of the opposing faction to vote. Sev

was klld or wounded. It Is charged by

The rapidly succeeding fires, the crowds

mors spread through th; neighborhood,
with tho constant appearance and rear.
neurHiice of tho fire engines and the biff
'juads of police, raised tho p-ople through
out the vicinity to a high pitch of txclte
ment. which did not lcsj-en until daylight
brought a measure, of assurance that the
incendiarism was stonped fir a while. The
excitement spread even to Rroidway, and

close to the fires, all th" cuests w.-rc

All th? houses where toe fires occurred
were flat houses. Thrco of them wero
occupied by whites and two by negroes.
Most of the tenants were already In bed
when the fire first broke out and ewaned
to the streets In the scantiest clothing.
The first fire was in n five-story tene
mcnt house at K6 West Sixtieth street, oc
cupied by five families, all of whom es
caped. The firemen were still husy fighting
that fire when the second blnzo began at
137 West Sixtieth street. In a lot of rubbish
in the basement. All the tenants escaped.
At the third fire, at 215 West Sixtieth
street, there were several narrow escapes
and daring rescues of the tenants. Wlllinm
Murray, who lived on the third floor, car
ried out five of his children, and James
Smith, a spectator, went Into the house
and brought the sixth Murray child down
to the second floor window and Jumped
with It in his arms to the sidewalks. An
other spectator caught them both. The
child was unhurt. An aged negro was car
ried out by other spectators.
An hour later the fourth Tire was dis
covered a block north at 249 West Sixty
first street. It was quickly extinguished.
The fifth and worst of the fires was dts
covercd at 110 West Sixty-first street at 3
a. m., while the street was still thronged
with frightened and excited people. There
were twenty apartments In the building
and the escape of the occupants of the
upper floors was cut off by a blare In the
lower hall. .The -tenants wert- k tlased that
they were in danger or loB'ng their lives
when policemen and llremen went up on the
fire escapes and brought them down.
Adrian Tompkins, who lived on the top
floor, lingered so long that he was pain
fully burned while climbing down the fli-o
escape.
In each case the firemeA quickly stopped
tho progress of the flames. The lots was
about IJO.ono.

NO PLACE FOR POLLARD'S CASH
8"eant-at-Arins of House Sas It
Belongs to Pollard and Not
to Government.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. . (Special Tele
gram.) The attempt of Congressman Pol.
lard to refund $1,881, representing- sulary
paid him from March 4 to July is. 1906, will
probably prove futile. It was the conten
tion of his opponent In the late election
that as he whs first elected on u later date
at special election to flu the unexpired
term of Senator Burkett he was not en
titled to salary for the period when he was
technically not a member. Sergeant-at-Arms
Casson is not in the city, but his
assistant said there was no precedent so
far as he knew for such an action on the
purt of a congressman and he could not
say positively Just what might be done
with the draft from Pollard when It ar
rived, except, of course, it would be hold
until Mr. Casson returns. He expressed
the opinion, however, thsf the draft would
be returned to Mr. Pollard. Mr. Pollard,
he ssld, Is clearly legally entirled to the
money and Mr. Casson could not take It
unless Mr. Pollard Is to anxious to get rid
of his cash as to make a rresent of tha
draft to Mr. Cason personally. There
seems to be no way to cover this money
bsck Into the treasury except through one
avenue, and that would lie to send It direct
to the treasury and have It placed In what
is known as the "conscience fund."
General Ainworth, military secretary,
was shown a local story In The Bee of
November 7 to the effect thst there Is
some talk in Omaha of a move toward (ret
ting the Ute Indians sssigned to the aban
doned Fort Niobrara military reservation.
General Air.sworth said that If such a
movement is afoot In Omaha he has not
heard of it. He said the present plan
would undoubttdly be carried out, that Is,
to tske the renegade White P.ivcr Utea
to Fort Meade.

Downs and Contractor Spalding the task of

pany H. Seventh regiment National Guard,

Fool In as Were Insecure.
The new hotel is built on the beach and
stands facing tho ocean. To this fact Con
tractor A. F. Spaulding attributes the dis
aster, claiming that the footings were in
secure and weakened the structure. John
AAustin of tho firm of Austin & Brown,
architects of the building, ascribes the dis
aster to the premature removal of the sup
ports from the concrete work In the floor
ing. alleging that the cement had been
given threo Instead of six week to "set."
Almost without exception tha men contend
that the building fell from the top, carrying
the lower floors with It.
WATCHER AT SICK BED ROBBED
C'oTered with Revolver and Com
pelled to Give t' Two
Valnable Rings.
While sitting up to watch at the bed
side of her mother, who is ill, which It Is
feared will soon cause death, Dorothy, the
14-year-old daughter of Thomas H. Roeh
fcrd. 1904 South Tenth street, was held up
at the point of a revolver by a man who
entered tho house through on unlocked
door Friday evening and forced her to
give him two valuable rings. It Is be
lieved tho robber was well acquainted with
the family and the house and knew where
the lings were kept. '
There were In the house at the time a
10-year-old sou. the mother, both In lied,
and the daughter. Rochford Is a member
of engine company No. 3 and was on duty
at the engine houee. The boy was to re
lieve his sister at 11 o'clock, and In the
meantime she was alone In a room Into
which the Intruder stepped and covered
hr with his revolver. Earlier In the
evening a policeman had been sent to the
alley near the Rochford home on complaint
of a family In tho block, who told the po
lice a strange man was lurking about and
hiding behind a telephone pole. The rob
bery was committed before the officer
could reach the place and It ia thought
the strange man was the burglar watching
for an opportunity to enter the house.
SHERMAN TALKS OF RESULTS
Chairman of Committee Delighted

I of Consrress.
I NEW YORK. Nov. 9. The republlcau
congressional campaign coinmiC.ee closed
its headquarters in the St. James building
this afternoon. Before Mr. Sherman left
for his home In Utlca, tonight he said:
i The result of the congressional car.iaign
throughout the countrv Is exceedingly
gratifying to this committee. The Sixtieth
congress will be republican by fifty-eight
majority. These figures correspond exactly
with the prediction given out by the com
mittee on the .Thursday before election
Of the db-trlcts throughout the I Tailed
States which the committee marked as
certainly republican we failed in carrying
1 but foar. Of these that we marked doubt
ful we have carried more than e marked
I as probabiy republican. The result sUune
that the people emphatically endorse the
, administration of l'rvnident Roosevelt and
approve me work- or the first swsion of
t lie Fifty-ninth c,nirrS!i. It sl.nws that the
istople desiro a continuum t? uf prosperity
and shows their belief that prosperity can
be deinded upon under republican admin
istration and the belief ttjt It would surely
dliappear undor denioc-ratiu rule.

The Omilia Board of Fire and l'alico
CommiKMi.ners remains In cilllic and tiio
Civic Fedcratic.n drops Its tight to oust It,
lending tho cnforc inent of the Sunday
provisions of the Slocumb law; that law
must b enforced, tho chief of police Is
held responsible for Its enforcement, the
board, of which the mayor Is chalrn-.nn
cx-oftlcio, Is held responsible for tho con
duct of the chief, but the supreme court
must say whether the mayor or rollce
commission Is finally responsible for tho
execution of the law in Omaha these are
the rKults of Governor Mickey's hear
ing of the case against the local board. In
stituted by the executive committee of
the Civic Federation. They were made
known yesterday afternoon at the hear
ing before the governor at the Millard
hotel.
The governor once ventured tho remark
that "thiro bus been a good deal of hide-and-seek
in law enforcement In Omaha,"
but he expressed implicit faith In "my
board," us he termed the commission.
These charges were first heard by the
governor on October 18. At the outset the
governor declared It was a matter for
the supreme court to settle, that of whether
the police commission or tho mayor could
be held responsible for the enforcement
of the laws In Omaha; but he explained
his position in the premises by stating
that It was th bounden duty of the, chief
of police to enforce thu laws, the Sunday
closing liquor nw' being particularly in
question. Then tho governor added that
the police commission, including the mayor,
Is responsible for the conduct of the chief
of police and members of the police de
partment. Confides In Chief Dons hue.
Getting down to carpet tacks, the gov
ernor declared he would be disappointed If
Chief of Police Donahue did not cause
every saloon in Omiha to be closed next
Sunday. His excellency also decided not
to discharge tho commissioners.
Attorney T. J. Mahoney. for the Civic
Federation, expressed a willingness to drop
tho proceedings and not go Into a hearing
of evidence in the case if assurance wero
given that the Slocumb law would be en
forced In Omaha. The commissioners ap.
peared willing to carry out the plan sug
gested by the governor, so with that under
standing the matter wns put in statu ouo
until such time as the Civic Federation
shall decide to withdraw the charges.
The meeting was called at 2 o'clock by
the governor. Commissioners Dr. George
L. Miller. J. W. Thomas and W. J. Broatc.h
were present. Commissioner Lee Spratlen
being in New York. For the Civic Federa
tion were T. J. Mahoney, I. W. Cnrpenter,
Dr. A. B. Somers and C. S. lay ward.
Other Interested listeners were Judge Lee
Estcllc. City Prosecutor; JDaoisL rrusidlng
Elder Gorst of the Methodist church. Rev.
J. W. Conley, Rev. J. Randolph Smith, Rev!
C. C. Clssell and Mayor Dablman.
Tho governor began .his remarks hy say
ing: "Tho vital point in this controversy
is enforcement of the law and the ques
tion involved Is Sunday closing of saloons."
Then the governor rend the Slocumb law
which referred to election days and Sun
days and said he understood saloons were
closed in Omaha on election days.
Board f an Revoke Licenses.
"There should be no controversy between
citizens regarding enforcement of the laws.
The police board can control saloons hy
revoking or refusing licenses to violators of
the law. The statute provides thnt th,5
board should give instructions to tho
chief of police and the board should
know what the chief is doing, and
then the question resolves Itself Into
one of law enforcement. The question as
to who shall enforce the laws has caused
some difference of opinion, and at the. re
cent hearing before me I found eminent
council on each side, and I am led to be
lieve each side was sincere In Its convic
tions," continued the governor.
Comnilsjiioncr Miller asked the governor
what would result If the board should issue
certain orders to tho chief of police and
the mayor Issue conflicting orders, the
mayor being the "conservator of the peace
and chief executive of the city."
"Charges could be' filed against the chief
if he falls to enforce the law. It Is tho
duty of the board to know tho chief la
enforcing the law. I am Inclined to think
there has been some hlde-und-week in the
matter of law enforcement In Omaha. Any
cltlxen can file charges against the thief
of police If saloons are open next Sunday
and the board could remove the chief, is
that plain?" said the governor.
Saloon Men Shoold Obey Law.
The governor said the saloon keepers ex
pect and rocolve protection of the law and
should in return obey the law.
"The city Is entitled to a complete en
forcement of the laws. No liquor license
can legally be issued, to a violator of the
law." he added.
Commissioner Thomas remarked that the
board hud always been well-Intending and
unanimous In its actions.
"Do you mean to trll me that a saloon
will be refused a license If the proprietor
has kept It open d Sundays?" asked the
governor of Mr. Thomas.
"Wc recognize the law is mandatory on
this matter," replied Mr. Thomas.
To avert a pending controversy between
T. J. Mahoney and Dr. Miller the governor
raid:
"I hold the chief of police should, next
Sunday, arrest every saloon keeper whose
ealoon la found open. The mayor may op
pose Bunday closing, but he does not ap
point the police and has only one voto In
the board."
The governor's last remark was: "I have
confidence in my board."
Chief of Police Donah uo did not attend
Iho meeting. The governor .-aid he ex
pected tha chief, but upon Inquiry at the
latter s office it was said the chief bud
gone to Council Bluffs.

BRYAN ON ELECTION RESULTS
Nebraska Lender Says His Party Won
a Signal Victory In Sew
York.
LINCOLN, Nov. 9. Commenting on re
sults of Tmsday's election, W. J. Bryan
gets considerable satisfaction In viewing
the outcome from 11 democratic standpoint.
He regrets the defeut of W. R. Hearst m
New York, but cannot see wherein Pretl
dent Roosevelt can find any comfort in tho
vote cf tho Empire state. Mr. Bryan says
tho president's personal attack on Mr.
Hearst was In bad taste, and he Insists that
the attack did not favorably Imrrrss tho
public.
Particularly gratifying to the democratic
heart, says Mr. Bryan, Is the return of
Missouri to the fold. In a statement Issued
tonight Mr. Bryan says, in part:
The election of 19,5 indicatn a trend In
favor of the demorcatio party. It p-oves
that the democratic party Is growing
st-nnger as republican policies are devel
oi'fd. In New Tork the party has won a
siirnnl victory in spitf of the tremendous
efforts put forth In behalf of tho Pd-n n
Istrntlon. The republicans had all the
mon. v they wanted; they hnd the support
of all the great corporation", and at 'h--rlos
they had whatever influence the ad
ministration could lend. The tact that the,
democrats elected every state offWr ex
cepting the governor shows that in the Em
pire state the republican party has been re
pudiated. hiiimen McCarren and MrClrllan.
The defeat of Mr. Hearst, tho democratic
anu inuepenueiice ieauo caiiu.oaie ior gov
ernor, wtiile a great uisappuinimirni to uls
frienus and to Uio party, is exi-i.in,ed Jiy
facts which . rob Mr. hugues' victoiy of
both glory and political significance. Mr.
McCarren, whom Mr. Hearst denounced as
a boss, threw his influence: to Hugues a.id
cut down Mr. Hearst s voto in B.ooklyn.
Mayor Mc.ciellan. tne legt'litv f whose
election Mr. 'Hearst had denied, uad his
Influence for Mr. Hughes and cut down the
Hearst vote in New York. Mr. Murphy,
tho head uf Tammany, whllo supp, rtln4
the ticket, could not put much enthusiasm
mto't.v- campnlp-T owing" to the personal
eontrov rsles which ho had had with Mr.
Hearst. It Is evident, therefore, that Mr.
Hughes owes his victory not to rcpub icau
votes, but to democratic votes biought to
him by the very men whom ho and the re
publican loaders have been denouncing for
yea rs.
President Roostvelt cannot find very much
cause for rejoicing in the New York re
turns. To have bin own stat go demo
cratic cannot be gratifying to him. and to
find that his pert-onal attack upon Mr.
Hearst had little lnllucnc on the result
compared with the Inflm-nre. exerted bv
McCarnn. Murphy and Croker will not
gladden his ihunksgivlng d.iy.
The president's personal attack on Mr.
Hearst was in hnd taste, to sav the least,
and the failure of that attack to favi rnMv
Imprcss the public ought to be a warning
for tho future.
If the trend toward democracy continues
hh strong for the next two yar as it has
been for the last two years. New Yori' en
be counted among the democratic states in
1908, and Mr. Hearst is In a position to d-
valiant work In securing a niilonal triumph
for progressive democratic Ideas.
Democratic Gains In Congress.
Tho democratic gains I11 congress hnve not
been as great as the partv cxpee.ed, but
they have been sulliclent to make. It p.o.i
nblo that the democrats will control tun
congress to be elected In ir'. In nearly all
th legislatures In the middle states the
democrats have inadu decided gains, and
these promise much for the senatorial con
tests which take place two years hcno.
In Iowa, Kansas and California the dem
ocrats made a splendid fight for their gub
ernptorlnl ticket. The reduction of Gov
ernor Cummins' majority from more than
70,090 to about 20.000 puts Iowa in the doubt
fut states for two years hence. Kansas and
California can no longer be claimed as cer
tainly republican. Tho fight mad" by M
Harris in the former state und bv Mr. B-Il
In the latter give more than a reasi liable
hop.- of success two yours hence.
In Nebraska the d, mi cra's hopel with the
aid f the populists to elect th"lr s a e
ticket and their candidate for I'nitod States
senator. In this they failed, but they have
ina) substantial gains throughout tho
state, as shown by the vote on cnMrress
men and the legislative ticket, us well as by
the state ticket. They have gained one con
gressman, and came within lets thsn 'o0
votes of guJnlng another. In two other dis
tricts the republican majorities have been
so much reduced that we csn reasonably
count on four democratic congressmen t"vo
years from now. In the legislature the fu
slonlsts will have about four times as many
as they had two years airo.

The re-election of General Grenville M,
Dodge as president, with the election i
other oflicers, the selection of Vicksburn,
Miss., for tho l'W7 meeting, the repudiation
of the aspersion cast upon the name and
memory o General I". S Grant that hu
aspired to a dictatorship and an elaborata
banquet at the Grand hotel, whore several
fini! addresses were made, chief amon
which wns one by Archbishop Irel.ind ursm
"Our Country,'' were features of yester
day's deliberations of the Society of the
Army of the Tennessee at Council Bluffs.
Tonight distinguished members of that so
ciety will be honorary guests at an elabor
ate banquet nt the Omaha club, given by
cltizens of Oniuha In special honor of Gen
eral Dodge and Mrs. John A. Logau.
The society practically concluded Its busi
ness session Friday morning by the adop
tion of tho report of the committee on noml.
nations, naming these officers for the ensu
lnp year:
President, General Grenville M. Dodge.
Vl.-!c presidents: Major C. A. Stanton of

Treasurer, Major A. M. Van Dyke.
Vicksburg, Miss., was selected as tho
place for tho next annual meeting in 1907.
Protects the Honor of Grant.
One of the most important features ot
the entire meeting was the unanimous
adoption of the report of the committee,
consisting of General Oliver O. Howard,
Mrs. John A. Logan, General Vespasian
Warner and General Jonti C. Black- hs
chairman, refuting the charge that Gen-"
era! t. s. Grant had indicated immediately
following the surrender of Lee that he
contemplated declaring himself as dictator.
This charge was reiterated dining an ad
dress delivered on Memorial day, 1906, at
tho tomb of General lT. S. Grant by Judge
Stafford on that occasion:
The report of the committee states at
somo considerable length that there Is no
such record In the archives of tha War de
partment to warrant such a charge, and
produces a letter from Oeneral Fred D.
Grant, denying that his father ever made
any such a threat or ever contemplated
such a move.
The report clearly and emphatically ex
onerates General Grant from any such a
procedure, either contemplated or Bug
s' nod.
Discussion Is Animated.
The report brought forth a warm dis
cussion. General Howard, his voice trem
bling with emotion, denounced the ttor,
pronouncing General Grant incapable of
such a thing. General Iwdge was equally
vehement In his denunciation of the state
men, both he and General Howard having
heard the oration in question and denounced
It at the time as an aspersion upon tuu
fame and character of Grant.
Judge J. R. Reed of Council Bluffs, an
honored member of the society, spoaa with
intense feeling on this aspersion upon th
memory of the great commander and said-
"Never for an instant did Grant ever
contemplate or dream of a dictatorship
Had he done so 1,000,00) sabera wero ready
to spring from their scabbards n defense
of law, liberty, right, humanity and Jus
tice. Had Grant ever for a moment
dreamed of a dictatorship his time was
that dreadful night when the great Lin
coln lay dying from an assassin's bullet
when members of his cabinet were writhing
In pain from the assault of murderous as
sassins and the government stood on thu
verge of untold disaster. But Grant was
too great, too grand to let a dream of am,
bltion disturb him for a moment Hia
only thought was that of the people of the
United States. He had the supremest con
fidence In them stid knew that no trial, no
emergency, no disaster, no sorrow, was loo
great for tho American people to meet with
berolo fortitude and stern realliaUoa of
loyal duty."
