Their Alleged Mania, cent Pay. "Referring to the article m the World llerald last evening regarding an alleged compromise' for 8240.000 In ths Cretghton .will contest, we desire to say on behalf of our clients that the article la misleading, It carries the impression that the sum of 8210,000 has been paid to and received by our clients, when the fact Is that not a dollar, has been either paid to or received by them, and nothing whatever is to be paid to or received by them.-ezoept upon1 certain conditions, depending upon the ulti mate findings' of the courts as to the force and effect and correct interpretation of the will. I'nder certain conditions nothing whatever is to be paid to, them under this arrangement. Under other conditions a aum of money Is to be paid by certain of the institutions and corporations who are beneficiaries and legatees under the will." The above statement was made by Judge Eleaxer Wakeley, Judge O. W. Doane and Attorney Charles B. Keller, attorneys for seVn of the unremembered relatives of Count Crelghton. It was in denial of a story In the World-Herald to the effect that Mrs. Shelby and the six member of the AlcCreary family had agreed not to contest '.put will of the late Count Juhn A. Crelgh lua la consideration ot the payment of 0.0uo' to them by the charitable Institu tions remembered by the count. False la Kvery Partloalar. The attorneys branded the story as false In every particular. It Is true as was stated In The Be Tuesday evening that ,the count's will la to be probated Batur . Bay without any opposition. The story of a "bitter contest" printed by th World Herald Wednesday la untrue. The matter of payment of money to - unrememberod hMrs depends, however, entirely upon tbo construction placed on the thirteenth claiyw of the will, whK-h Is ambiguous. Coder one construction of this clause the unnamed relatives will reoelve nothing whatever. Vn-d.sc another construction they might receive a sum ot money the amount ot wltlch depends vpun the sue cf the estate. Th artlol stated that the tMO.OOO would. Under on construction of the thirteenth auJLu, ue iutf;x U Lb batura of, "present" or an advance payment on a much larger sum to be paid to the seven heirs. As a matter of fact it Is said by those who know the most favorable con struction of the will would give these seven relatives leas than the sum stated In the artlole. The story went so far as to state that the attorneys had received 812,000 each tor their services which, it was pointed out, had taken leas than a week. The attorneys are divided between Indignation at the false allegation and amusement at the ab surdity, ot the statement. Judge Wakeley and Judge Doane met In the office of C. B. Keller Friday morning. "Well, have you got your $12,000 yetT" asked Judge Doane. Judge Wakeley felt around In his pockets for a moment. "No," he said In his droll way, "I had It last night. Put It In my pants pocket when I went to bed. I laid my pants over a chair by th window and I think a burglar must have taken th money." Judge Doane laughed at tha quiet Joking of his venerable colleague. Judge Wakeley looked at him sternly. "I i suppose you've gone and speut all yours already," he said. Judge Doane, however, was nonoot.imlttal aa to what disposition he bad made of his share of the enormous feea. Judge Wake ley remarked he was going to put the police on the track of th burglar who had taken his H2.000. BASSETTS GET BACK IN COURT Motion Enjoin' Fai from Get ting Other rktldra t , , ' B Arsjaed. The Baseett case will com up before Judge Redlck Saturday morning again when th attorneys for th plaintiff and defendant In th recent divorce case will argue ' a motion made by Mrs. Bassett's attorney Irving F. Baxter, for an Injunc tion to prevent Mr. Barsett from attempt ing to get possession of the two children now with Mrs. Bassett's relatives, one In Denver and th other la Indian Territory. Attorney John F. Stout, for Mr. Bassett, holds that this court has no power to grant such an order, attempting to bind the courts of other states. If the order is made enjoining Mr. Bassett, Mr. Stout will Insist upon its Including Mrs. Bassett In Its provisions. l Chester Bassett, the 10-year-Old boy whom the court gave to Mr. Bassett, is now living with his father In Washington. Mrs. Bassett receives a 'letter from him every other day and he declares his inten tlon of returning to her when he shall at tain the age of 14 years, at which age the law permits him to chooa his own guar- BEST YEAR OF EXCHANGE Third Annual Eeport Shows Grain Interests - is Omaha Flonrithing;. TOTAL RECEIPTS OVER FORTY MILLIONS Gat City is Pressing Forward as On of th Great Primary Markets of th World. Th third annual report of th Omaha Grain exchange for 1906. which is now In th hands of the printers and which will be Issued within a few day, shows a re markably flourishing condition prevalent during the last year under the direction of President Wattles and Secretary McVann. President Wattles, in his report charac terised It as th most prosperous year since the birth of the exchange and commends the work accomplished by the secretary and Ms entire force of employes. A large profit Is shown by the treasurer's report, r.ot withstanding the operating ex penses were materially increased by reason of a thorough reorganisation ot the In spection and weighing departments under the Initiative of the new grain inspector, George B. PoweU. In th report of Secretary McVann, who was elected May 1, 1906, to succeed A. H. Merchant, it is said the Increase In re ceipts during 1908 were greatly larger than thoae of the preceding year, being of a healthy and natural growth, which, if maintained, will soon make Omaha tha sec ond primary grain market of th United Ststea Helps Elevator Facilities. Th large growth In receipts brought about a corresponding Increase In elevator facilities by the erection of the new Nye-Bchnelder-Fowler elevator with a capacity of l.OOO.KiO bushela The total storage ca pacity of the elevators of the three cities Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs Is now over 6.000,000 bushels, and stress is laid on th fact that but on (levator of the number Is owned by a railroad. This Is believed to b an indication of the faith of the great graiu Arms In the Omaha market aa to its importance and perma nence. The matter of railroad rates Is given great attention in the report of Secretary McVann, who ays th most Important con cession secured during the. year was the acknowledgement on tha part of the rail roads leading from South Dakota and Min nesota that th Omaha market was enti tled to fair and propurtionat rates from I UmlX great greiA-producing; taction, TU new tariffs secured from these roads ma terially reduced the old ones, in some cases as much as 60 par cent. While all conces sions asked for were not obtained, the work for further reductions Is being continued persistently and unceasingly. Messes of "Equalisation." ' Attention was called to th serious me nace to the Omaha market by th so-called "equalization" plan, which waa put in foroo by the 'Frisco on July 1. Under this plnn grain originating on and south of the main line of tha Union Pacific In Nebraska Is hauled to southern markets by the 'Frisco at the rat necessary to equalise th com bination of rates via Omaha. , Such a proposition Implies th concession on th part of the Omaha exchange that Kansas City is entitled to equal footing In th territory tributary to Omaha. During the last year the principal grain carrying roads have established inspection track service at Omaha and are adhering to the practice of placing grain on ths in spection tracks as far as expedient. A healthy Increase In option trading Is reported during the last year, aa effort was made to stimulate this feature of the busi ness of th Omaha market An organised clearing office has been placed at the dis posal to facilitate the clearing of option deala Close relations with other large primary markets have been tactfully established and maintained and many matters of interest have had the co-operation of the Omaha exchange with thos of Kansas City, St. Louis and Mlnneapolla Hand of Death Falls. Although there waa but a gain of three actual members in the exchange, the gain in the number of active grain people was really many more, as fifteen transfers of membership were recorded, th transfers being from Inactive members to dealers whose floor business 4s quite large. The fx-' change lost by death during the year these members: Edward Rosewater, G. B. Corn stock, George Paterson, John I. Redlck and J. M. Woolworth. The statistics of th exchange show that 10,000,000 bushels more grain were received during 1906 than during the preceding year and that the shipments were greater, by nearly ( 000,000 bushels. The total wheat re ce'pt for 1906 were 10.038,700 bushels and shlimenta of T.121.200 bushels. The disposition of the total receipts of 40.0G,00 bushela of all grains shows that nearly 8,0OT,000 bushela were shipped to St. Louis, neurly 6,000,000 bushels for export via the Atlantic, routes, 8,750,000 bushels to seaboard. tllf.OftO bushels to Chicago and Milwaukee and 6.843.M0 bushels to Interior points.

Superintendent Davidson of the public schools was contemplating two geographies Friday morning, when a caller happened In his office. One of the books was published seventy-five years-ago and the other seventy-five days ago. One was a geography of tha world - and might be carried In a coat pocket, while the other was a geogra phy, of the United States and a volume of generous proportions and artistic makeup. The old geography was published In 1831 and has been presented to Superintendent Davidson for the value of Its associations. Nebraska is disposed of In this fashion In thla ancient geography: Missouri Territory extends from the Mis. slsslppt river to the Rocky mountains, em bracing about sOO.OOO square miles. It Is a vast wilderness and with the exception of a few military posts is entirely Inhabited by Indians. Nebraska waa Included In that 800,000 square miles. This question was asked of pupils studying this geography: "How would you sail from Arkopolis to the mili tary station of Council Bluffs t" In this little volume Is a picture of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. Ths illustration represents the landing of a ship and a gToup of people on the shore, viewing the new country., One of the men of tha party directs his sister-in-law's at tention to a sign on a tree. That sign was placed rn the tree by the Kansas City Commercial club and was an Invitation to the Pilgrims to buy through tickets to Kansas city, where town lots at the time were being given sway. The book also states that Christopher Columbus waa born in Kansas City In the year 1447. Superintendent Davidson prises the little book as a relic.

By a printed order signed by Chief Engi neer Huntley and General Manager Mahler, placed In every room In the headquarters building, all employes working in the build ing sre required to leave the building at least once a month by means of the Are escape. This order is given in pursuance of an agreement with the building Inspec tor and the chief of police of Omaha that the fir escapes should b built and the employes taught the us of them. .The notice says that all who do not obey the order take their own chance In case of Or. ADR1NS GETS LONG TERM Serves Three Tears, Lambert Two, lfv dock One On New Board. SHELDON PLEASES SOUTH CMAHANS Governor's Appointment of Fire and Police Commission Seems Gratl lying- to All sides and Factions. Ths new members of the Board of Fir and Police Commissioners of South Omaha took their oaths of office at 9:30 a. m. Fri day and filed certified copies of the same with the city clerk. They called their flrat meeting for 4 p. m.. Tha commissions ar rived from Lincoln on th first mall de livery. A. H. Murdock Is to have the one year term, W. C. Lambert the two-year term, while W. P. Adklns will serve three year. The new law repeals th former enaot ment creating a board with five members In Its entirety. As such all appointments of the old members are at an end. The present appointees are simply holding their positions by courtesy until th new board shall announce its appointments. The board will organize at the meeting today. The mayor Is ex-ofScIo chairman of the board, but has no vote. The only officer of the board is the secretary, but the board mem bers gave no hint as to who the candidate might be. In making the appointments the governor conferred with the candidates And is said to have Insisted on a rigid enforcement of the law In all departments, and more par ticularly the laws relating to liquor busi ness. On ,thls ground all the candidates expressed themselves willing to stand. It is understood the suggestion was made to the governor that If liberal constructions were allowed In Omaha it might be hard to face a like sentiment In South Omaha, but the governor said this question would not trouble South Omaha, the hypothesis be ing contrary to the policy of the ad minis, tration. All Say They Did Hot leek It. All members of the new board declared that the office had come to them unsolic ited and that they assumed the duties with out prejudice or promises other than their oaths of ofllre. As to the personnel of the appointed offices, Mr. Adkins declared he favored making as few changes as possible in the fir or police departments com patible with th good of th city. He In timated, however, harmony and effi ciency - of th fore must be main tained. It has been well known there has been some slight friction between members of the police force, but It Is quit likely that strict orders from ths board may reconcile any differences. W. C Lam bert expressed a similar belief as to th policy of the board. He said he had told th governor he would not accept the of fice on any condition other than the strict enforcement of all laws. He considered th efficient service of the police and th harmony of the officers Important. Chief of Police Brlggs stated hs had no fears as to his retention In office and h thought the board a good one, Captain P. IL Shields said he thought th board waa s good on. Mayor Hoctor expressed confidence In th governor's appointments, saying ha thought the board excellent and one which would be both "conservative and liberal." Retiring Members Satisfied. Georg W. Masson, president of ths retir ing board, said: "I'm glad to be relieved of tns office. It Is In many ways a trying position. Many times a person Is between strict legal ob ligation and public sentiment. I consider the new board competent In every respect. With the legal aspects of the offices th members should be unexcelled. Practically they have shown their ability. Th agitation for a change in tha lira and police board has been going on for some time. It appeared In the platforms of ths two parties at the last municipal election. The new law Is not up to th Ideas then expressed. Insofar as it does not grant to the mayor the right to vote on questions. Some things which have com up In the Internal handling of the board may have had some weight In the creation of the new law." A. L. Berqulst, the retiring secretary, declares he considered all the new mem bers capable and representative business men. C. E. Scarr had not heard of the ap pointment, butwhen the candidates wer announced he said, "Good!" emphatically after each nam. A. C. Pancoast thought the board would be fair and liberal In Its views. W. Scott King said he thought th governor had mad exceptionally good choices. Th board was satisfactory to him. Around ths 'city hall considerable satisfaction was expressed over the ap pointment of W. C. Lambert. Now Is the time to make your wants known through The Bee Want Ad Page. Marder aad sulelde. NEW ORLEANS. March 15.
