Several of the Indlct.d coal dcaleis end
a number of their employee testified In the
Bunderland trial before Judge Troup Mon
day mrrnlng and thy all with one aecord
did make denial of the chargM aet up
against them by the state. '
1L B. Rhoadea, In the employ of El. BJ.
Howell, said he never refused to sell coal
to F. M. Clute, a coal dealer In basket lota,
Mr. Clute's testimony to the contrary not
withstanding. He admitted on cross-ex-amlnatlon
that Attorney Baldrlge had read
to him parte from the testimony In the
other coal trial, no ai to refresh . his
memory previous to going on the stand.
C. A. Grimes, yardmaster for C. W. Hull
company, denied the statement made by
Andrew Jensen that Jensen had been re
fused coal there because he was not a
member of the exchange. P. A. Haskell
of Sunderland Bros, fcompeny denied he
ever had a conversation with Jenen about
coal. George F. West, general agent of the
passenger department of the Northwestern
railroad, was placed on the stand to prove
that tha Ak-8ar-Ben excursion to Bt. Paul
took place In October, 1904. Jensen had
stated he met Q. P. Brown, solicitor for
the Bunderland Bros, company, when he
was going to take tha train for this ex
cursion, and Brown told him he couldn't
get coal from the company because he was
not a member of the exchange. This con
versation having taken place In October,
1904, was proved by the defense Immaterial,
being barred by tha statute of limitations.
Mr. Brown was placed on tha stand and
testified he did not ask Jensen anything
about coal on the occasion of that con
versation.
Proof of loltufttas?.
To prove tha members of the Coal ex
Change were soliciting buslm.s In spite
of the constitutional provision prohibiting
personal solicitation, 'the defense- exhibited
a collection of articles given as premiums.
Match holders, thermometers, papers of
pins and needles and other things were
shown. K. E. Howell on the stand said
ha bad gone forth as usual In the fall of
190S and of IK with a pocket full of match
holders and solicited business.
And what are these little halt cups
for?" asked Mr. ConnelL holding up a
match holder.
' "To bold matches," replied Mr. Howell.
"I. wanted to make sure," said Mr. Con
Bell, they were not meant to hold a
'bushel' of Clute's basket coal." The de
fense had alleged a benevolent object In
barring the basket dealers from member
ship because they gave small measure.
Mr. Howell' was asked about certain en
tries In the minute book of the exchange.
recording tha fact that "the dealers filed
their prices on coal." He aald this printed
' list of coal prices never governed him In
his business.- He Just hung it up In his
office and didn't pay any more attention
to It
"What was tha object of this filing of
prices by the dealers with the secretary
and the printing of tha Hat?" asked tha
county attorney. '
"Oh, that was just a matter of courtesy,1
aald Mr. Howell.
treaaeaa FUht for Trade.
The fact was pretty well established by
the defense In the Bunderland case yes
terday that tha members of the coal ex
Jhange solicited for buslnesa In spite of
tha provision In the constitution and by
laws prohibiting personal solicitation. The
defense continued to Introduce witnesses
, during the afternoon for the purpose of
proving this. It seemed there was an In
exhaustible supply of coal dealers and their
employes in the hall, and one by one they
war called In and swore to the fact that
they solicited strenuously for trade.
Each witness named a number of people
whoa orders ha had secured by personal
solicitation. El. E. Howell even declared he
had solicited County Attorney English and
Judge Troup.
"Where did you solicit Judge TroupT"
asked the county attorney.
"Well, not on the bench," replied Mr.
Howell. But ha did not remember where he
had called upon tha Judge for his coal order.

Why
Because people rely on The Bee; they rely on Bee

papers filled with sensational news, manufactured
without regard to truth or decency; they have confi

Because too. The Bee goes to more homes in
Omaha, South Omaha. Council Bluffs and the towns
in Nebraska, Iowa and the Black Hills than any other
paper. A clean paper is admitted to all the homes;
the mechanic is as particular what his daughter
reads as the banker; he knows too, that The Bee
has been on the side of right regardless of class, and
The Bee is the workingman's paper. The influence
of a strong-paper Is not for sale, yet you get the ben
