THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2f, 1P0G. ll WHISKERS FIGURE IN CASE Little Bunch of Beard BcmoTed Vtkei Bie Lifltrsnoe in BnipeO. FRANK SMITH STILL UNDER SEARCHLIGHT Colored Mas Shaves til Ctiaaces His Appearance Completely, Oirlrnm Hla to Farther lu plclon of Polleo. A little bunch, of whiskers on the chin may cut a big figure la determining the 1 guilt or Innocence of one man susperted of j trie atrocious murder of Mies Joaephlne Rummelhart, October 8 and of other revolt ing crime In the vicinity of Riverview park about that eame time. 'I am atlll uncertain If 8mlth Is Im plicated In the Rummelhart case." said Chief Donahue Friday morning after an extended personal Interview with the negro, who Is suspected of that crime and who la being subjected to the most rigid Investl- j Ration, "but he knowa a lot more than he Is willing to tell us. When questioning him i I did not refer to the Rummelhart murder, j twit aaked him If he knew where the high school , grounds were and ha said he did and that he had probably done a few odd Jobs for cltlaons In that vicinity. It is possible future investigation may bring to light something that haa mora positive bearing on the case, but at present we have nothing further to work on, "Smith lived at a lodging house near Twelfth and Dodge streets and wa are go ing to have the residents of that vicinity have a look at him and see If any of them knows anything about him." In veatlKntlon does On. The Investigation by the police of Frank Bmtth, the colored man suapected of know ing something of the murder of Joaephlne Rummelhart on the night of October 8, Is atlll being instituted with a vim, and In the shuffle Smith has lost the beautiful bunch of whiskers that had evidently been cultivated with much care and persever ance. After the loss of the whiskers the metamorphosis of Bmlth was complete and he .looks like an entirely different man. For this reason It has been decided to have the Riverview cltliens who were ao annoyed by a negro about the time of the Rummelhart murder view Smith again. Smith still continues taciturn and either refuses or is mentally Incapable of giving a coherent account of his travels within the laat few months, lie Is thought not to ba a victim of any drug habits, but la of the lowest possible type, the police say, and Just such as would commit a dastardly crime Ilka the murder of Miss Rummel hart. . Pictures of the man, both before and after the removal of his beard, have been taken and will be sent broadcast through out the country, as Chief Donahue la al most sure he is wanted for some orlme in some city, if not in Omaha.

TORTURED BY ITCHING SCALP Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and Limbs Suffering Intense Doctors Said Too Old to Be Cured -An OIt Soldier of 80 Years Declares: "CUTICURA TREATMENT IS A BLESSING" "At all times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cu tieura. It saved me from worse than the tortures of hades, about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and afterwards it commenced to break out on my hands. Then it broke oat on my limbs. I was advised to use salt and water, which I did, to no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, who commenced treating me with a wash of borax. This treatment did me no good. but rather aggravated the disease. I then told him I would go and see a phy sician in Erie. The reply was that I could go anywhere, but a case of eczema like mine could not be cured; that 1 was too old (80). I went to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for six months, with like results. 1 had read of the Ou ticura Remedies often, I waa strongly tempted to give them a trial, ao I sent for the CuUcura Soap, Ointment, and Keaolvent and continued taking tha Resolvent until I had taken six bottles, stopping it to take the fills. I waa now getting better. 1 took two baths a day, and at night I let the lather of tha Soap dry on. I used the Ointment witn great effect after woehirg in warm water, to atop tha itching at once. I am now cured. "The Cuticurm treatment is a blessing and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more, and thank God that Ha has given the world such a curative. You can use this letter aa you please. A very much befriended man. Win. H. Gray, 3303 ML Vernon 8t-, Philadelphia, fa., AngMBt 2, 190i" ai. jr af all vwiin IMMr linj a CMa ar . U. Pr...

WOMEN II CLUB ARB CHARITY Vpon invitation of Miss Belle Kearney of Mississippi, one of the most eloquent of the many southern women who have come into prominence ss speakers atul lecturers, a conference of southern women was hel l December 19 and 20 at Memphis, Tenn., to discuss ways and means for a more aggressive campaign for woman suf frnce In the southern states. The feasi bility of asking for presidential suffraKe was one of the points especially considered. Such a conference Is a new departure on the part of the conservative women of the south and the popularity of tha movement might be seriously feared for were It not for tho fact that It Is headed by women, who are arrcng the most prominent socially and In educational circles, of the southern states. The strut; ele for child labor legislation has been a revelation to these women. Only two years ago, at the St. Iouls biennial, Mrs. Tatterson of North Caro'ina boasted, "we women of the south do exactly hs we please and we please to please our men." Their experience of the next few months left them not quite so confident and the next year brought the real revelation. Louisiana with the Misses Gordon and Dorothy Dlx and Georgia with Mrs. A. O. Granger and Mrs. Llndsey Johnson and the others who have lead the child labor agitation long ago outgrew, "pleasing 10 please their men." but It Is but Com paratively recently that many of the south ern women have sympathised with the suffrage movement. The Young Women's Christian associa tion will hold Its annual New Tear's recep tion Tuesday evening from 5 to 9 o'clock In the association rooms In the Paxton block. A program will precede the recep tion and nn Invitation Is extended to all Interested In the work of the association. The Omaha Woman's club will hold Its reception Tuesday afternoon from 4 to 8 o'clock In the parlors of the First Con gregational church, Nineteenth and Daven port streets. The officers of the club will serve as a reception committee. The New Tear's reception tins not been held regu larly of late years, but It was revived this year to afford an opportunity for the new members to become acquainted with the officers and other members. "The Juvenile court movement has grown with great rapidity in the few years since Its birth and already twenty states have separate courts for children. How much these courts have done to better human lives cannot be set down In statistics, but even In dollars and cents states are finding It cheaper to "make men than to support criminals." In four years the children's court of Denver alone has saved the state of Colorado something over $270.000." Alice Catherine Fallows in The Century. A number of Omaha club women are at tending the meeting of the Nebraska State Teachers' association at Lincoln this week. The association Is much Interested In the proposed amendments to the compulsory education law and will co-operate with the club women In the effort to secure Its pas sage. Consideration of this amendment Is to come up at one of the sessions. One of the special things that Iowa club women and suffragists will ask of their legislators this winter will be a reforma tory for women separate from the state penitentiary. Some of the most Influential women of the state are interested in the project. Owing to the death of Mr. Pennock's mother the program of the Society of Fine Arts, to have been led Thursday morning by Mrs. H. W. Pennock has been post poned until next Thursday, when It will be combined with Mrs. Lowrey's program. The names and addresses of over 12,000 club women are registered in the new club women's directory of New York City. Of the 140 clubs registered thirty-two are for purposes of study and social Intercourse, eighteen are political organizations, fifteen are patriotic societies, nine are - philan thropic organizations, eleven are for the purpose of bringing together women form erly living in other states or countries, six are professional women's organizations and Ave devote their efforts to municipal Inter ests. BREEN HAS LITTLE HOPE Does Not Anticipate Settlement Out of Court of I'nlon Pa cllo Taxes. Attorney J. P. Breen, special counsel for the city of Omaha In the 1903 Union Pacific tax suit, says he had little hope of the matter being settled out of court, as the Union Pacific lawyers have shown no dls position to settle the matter on anything like fair terms, he said. The case comes up for hearing In the United States court in January. The Union Pacific officials contended the ralst of their personal assessment from 11S6,OOC to over (1,000,000 was unjust. Mr. Breen had a conference Thursday morning with the Union Pacific legal department, but he said that department would not even split that assessment in two and thus end tha litiga tion. PALMER ON THE OLD PLAINS Postmaster 'Will Speak of His Pioneer Days in tho West. Captain H. K. Palmer has been Invited and has accepted the Invitation to deliver a lecture before the Nebraska Historical so ciety at Its annual meeting in Lincoln Jan uary 16 on the subject of his life on the plains prior to the territorial days. N.t man In Nebraska Is better qualified to make such an address, based upon hla per sonal experiences, which are filled with thrilling Incidents, both es a citizen and a soldier of .the days when Nebraska was In its swaddling clothes. Captain Palmer has written much of the early history of Ne braska, and while he has not posed as an author, papers from his pen grace the pages of practically every history of the western Missouri region.

Old Bate ProTed Embarrassing. THIS IS WHY BRIDGE TOLL IS TO GO UP Says Ills Road Haa Done More tor the Omaha Grain Kxrhange Than Any Other Railway. "We have decided to raise the rate on grain from Council Bluffs to Omaha and South Omaha because the old rate has proved embarrassing and noncompensa tory," said J. A. Munroe, freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, when ques tioned In refcrvce to the protest filed with tho Interstate Commerce commission by the Omaha Grain exchange, "The Iowa lines have practically their own rails from Council Bluffs to Omaha and South Omaha, that Is, they pay the Union Pacific hy the year for the u-v of the tracks, and we think It Is for them to haul the grain to Omaha and South Omaha. When the grain Is stopped at Council Bluffs to be turned over to us It congests further a terminal already congested. "We have done more for the Omaha Grain exchange than any other one road, but think this Is the business of the Iowa lines which can run their cars Into Omaha, and It is proper they should haul the grain. They figure each car at a charge of K In the new tariff which we will soon put Into effect, but that la not right. We have fol lowed our new plan of centa per hundred Instead of dollars per car on the bridge, the same aa for the main line. The rate Is made 1 cent per 100, with a minimum of $5 per car, from Council Bluffs to Omaha and South Omaha. This Is In line with tho scheme which prevails in other large ter minals, notably between St Louis and Eist St. Louis. "The Iowa roads can extend the Iowa distant rate Into Omaha and we should not bo expected to haul the cars over for 12, at a loss, when there la no advantage to be gained, and, besides, when It tends to congest the terminals across the river.
