GOVERNOR H'ARS LILLIE PARDON CASE
Sessions ef Nebraska state Teachers'
Association Commenced, with
a Larsr amber In
Attendance.
(From a RafT Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 2S. (Bpeclal.)-Sherirt
McDonald and a committee from the Antl
Chlcken Thief society of Douglas county
visited the penitentiary today and looked
over the three bloodhounds owned by the
state with a view to buying them. The dogs
were chased out after a convict Just to
show how they worked and the Douglas
county men were much Impressed. No
price was put on the dngs and the deal was
not cloired.
Argument on I.tllle Pardon.
The entire afternoon was taken up In the
executive office In the hearing before the
governor on the application for a pardon
for Mrs. Llllle, convicted of the murder of
her husband. R. M. Harris, county at
torney of Butler county,, fought the appli
cation, while Attorneys Matt Miller, C. H.
Aldrich and F. O. Hamer presented rea
sons why the prisoner should be given her
freedom. The governor's office was
crowded during the speech-making, though
Mrs. Llllle was nfft present. A number of
affidavits were read tending to show the
Jury was prejudiced In its findings and one
told of a fight which occurred In the Jury
room because one Juror who did not smoke
opened a window and refused to close it
at the request of a smoker. This was read
to show the Jurors were at times not
thinking of the esse. The affidavits were
read by Rev. Mr. Roberts, formerly of Bell-
wood. The governor has the matter under
advisement.
McGrcw After Ollmore.
An echo of the late campaign aephyred
through the state house today when Dr.
C. F." McOrew of Auburn, accompanied by
Robert Wilkinson and William Bryant of
that town, called upon Governor Mickey
and asked for the removal of A. D. Gil
more, steward of the Hospital for the In
sane at Lincoln. Dr. McGrew charged that
GUmore entered Into a conspiracy to at
tach bad odor to his name In the matter of
the Callaway pass. In other words, Mc
Grew thinks GUmore and others worked
htm on that little matter. The governor,
however, told the visitors they had called
too late, as he would not remove GUmore
without a hearing, and his term of office
Is too short for that.
Goldman Chans; His name.
Solomon Goldman will hereafter sign his
name Felix Newton. Judge Frost granted
Solomon the authority to do this. The man
who changed his name Is a student of the
State university and he speaks several
languages. This, he said, had caused people
to think he was Russian, Polish, German,
French and several, other things because
his name la rather cosmopolitan. Besides,
he told the court, some people thought he
was related to Emma Goldman.

dam will have to be rebuilt. At present the

INSANE MAR COMMITS
SVICIDF.
ful Kept from Other Patients Over
Christmas.
NORFOLK, Neb., Dec. 28. (Special.)
The suicide of Frank Swoboda, an Inmate
of the Norfolk Hospital for the Insane,
whose home Is In St. Paul, Neb., waa kept
a secret from Christmas eve, when the
tragedy occurred, until the' day after
Christmas, In order not to mar the Joyous-
ness of the occasion for the 220 other In
mates. Dr. Toung, the superintendent,
withheld Information from all save the
coroner until nfter the Christmas festivi
ties were over, : because he knew that an
announcement of the 'self-murder by one
of the patients , would so-. unstring the
nerves of the other scores-at the Institu
tion that the merry day planned for them
would be turned Into one of hysteria.
Swoboda took unusual steps to got at his
own life. He picked the lock oft the door
of the ward In which he was kept while
the attendunt was busy with another pa
lent. Rushing out of this he broke In
the door of a clothes closet, seised a rasor
from the shelf and gashed his throat. Five
minutes later he was found by the at
tendant who had missed him. He had
threatened months ago to commit suicide,
but waa regarded as practically cured and
seemed to be enjoying the Christmas
spirit.
The patients enjoyed a dance that even
ing, the first since the Institution has been
rebuilt, and each received a package of
sweets and nuts Christmas morning. No
Christmas tree was held, for that brings
too vividly tohelr minds the thoughts of
home.

solldation question before the Omaha Real
Estate exchange Wednesday noon. Messrs.
Fisher and McCulloch spoke In favor of
consolidation, while Messrs Fleharty, who
is city attorney, and McCrann offered argu
ments against the proposition, all. however,
agreeing that the matter should be put
before the people of South Omaha for a
vote.
Mr. Fisher, the first speaker, pointed out
the alleged weakness of South Omaha's
police, f.re and other departments n1 "
clared that with consolidation the Magic
City would take on new life.
"South Omaha baa grown, but Its Im
provements have not kept pace with that
growth. There are hundreds of manufac
turing sites and miles of side tracks that
would be put to use with the prestige of a
Greater Omaha. South Omaha would be
come, with consolidation, the great natural
manufacturing center," Mr. Fisher said.
City Attorney Fleharty pictured the
present advantages of South Omaha and
opined tha twlthln four years the city
would grow to a great metropolis.
"I think conscldatlon will come through
the progress of events, but never through
force. And, yet, I am Inclined to doubt
the wisdom of a centralization of power. I
would sell my South Omaha property to
morrow at 20 per cent discount If I were
sure the consolidation would be made at
once."
Sentiment for the Merger.
Editor Bruce McCulloch of the Stock
Yards Journal was the second speaker In
favor of consolidation.
"During six months I have noticed In
South Omaha a strong change of senti
ment In favor of consolidation. The situa
tion has so changed that even the strong
est antl-annexatlonlsts have said they
would not oppose putting the matter to a
vote of the people, so we need fear no pro
test in boots this winter." began Mr. Mc
Culloch. "We all realise that It would
be bad policy to effect consolidation and
leave a bad taste In the mouths of any.
The citizens of South Omaha realise that
consolidation will come sooner or later, and
they are beginning to believe the change
had better be made sooner than later.
Most of the opposition In South Omaha Is
coming from the city officials.
Mr. McCulloch cited as one of the admin
istrative follies of South Omaha the gov
ernment of eighteen policemen by a board
of five police commissioners.
"A square deal and a chance to vote Is
all the people of South Omaha want," Mr.
McCulloch said In conclusion.
Dr. McCrann gently Intimated that there
was a political move behind the present
agitation for consolidation.
"I understand that two Omaha lawyers
are now preparing a new charter and have
not finished it because they do not yet
know whether the bill will be Introduced
with a direct legislative enactment clause
or a provision to submit the matter to a
vote of both towns," he said.
The talks were given before the Real
Estate exchange, so that both sides of the
question might be aired, the exchange tak
ing no. side, of the matter...,.,
