CASE OF UNUSUAL DEPRAVITY REPORTED

th?r Injunction h risen above the
.on',, led liorlion of South Omaha's political
sky. Hugh Murphy Saturday secured the
service of a restralnln onTer to prevent
the city officials or the police force from
Interfering with him 1ft fhe snmovnt f
paving mntcrlal along- the course of Mis
souri aA'pnuo. He alleged In Ma petition
that(the South Omaha 'officials had wrong
fully threatened to Use the police depart
ment to prevent hla removing material
whlrh he hnd delivered on the ground last
winter before the relinquishment of hla
contract. The city had paid to him above
15.000 before any paving was laid. It la ad
mitted that the material on. the ground Is
valued more than the amount that Murphy
received by over 11,000. The wny the matter
la tied up at the present time the paving
cannot . proceed and the city Is Just as
determined that the material ahalt not be
removed.
Aa soon as the restraining order was
served the city attorney went to Omaha
and secured a modification of the order
of the court which also prevents Hugh
Murphy or his employes from attempting
to remove the material from the street in
controversy.' Affaire are therefore In tbej
same state or rest as tney nave been for
the last year or so In that section of the
n city. The only difference Is that the courts
will try the merits of the contentions be
tween the city and the contractor. Then
It may be possible for one or the other to
take some more definite action.
Case of Kxeeptlonal Depravity.
A story of human depravity developed In
police circles yesterday. The man whose
name Is connected- with the atrocity la
John Blmms. Ills victim Is a little girl,
the daughter of Edward W. Stephens, a
mechanic at the Omaha Cooperage com
pany. The family lives at the corner of
Twenty-seventh and M streets and Blmms
has been a boarder In the household. The
time of his last offense was a week ago
Tuesday night. Stephens and his wife
went out during the evening with their
other children, leaving Blmms alone with
the little girl. While they were gone he
Is SHld to have committed a criminal as
sault. This the little girl concealed from
her parents because the man had prom
ised her a dpll and some candy. Later un
infectious disease forced the little child
to reveal her pain to her mothor. The
child, who Is scarcely 8 years of age, was
taken to Pr. Davis, who suspected, that
she. ha.d been the victim of depraved nnd
vicious maltreatment and he told his sus
picions to the parents. When they Hnd
taken the child home they questioned her,
and with many tears sht confessed that it
was Slmms who had been guilty. She
Aid, so thoy gathered from her broken
story, that Slmms had been guilty for
over a year and that she had kept still
because of his presents and promises. On
learning the truth Btephens drove Slmms
:ut of the house at the point of a knife,
having. It is said, first broken a chair over
his back. He declared that he would have
killed the mun H he had been able to
patch Aim. After the man had 'gone they
waited a day or two before deciding what
they . would do... They hesitated, because
lio man had ln former years been kind to
!ie family , and had helped them during
JliarJ times: but nt last the pain the-little
daughter suffered Impelled thorn to appeal
to the law. At first tbey went to Judgo
P. C. Caldwell, who advised them to go
beforo the county attorney, as the case
win out of his Jurisdiction. It was In thta
uinrrer that the police first learned of the
affair.
An effort was made to locate Slmms last
nljfht. A description waa sent to surround
ing points by the chief, who says he will
bring him to Justice If possible. If the
parent's of the child are reluctant to prose
cute it !s likely that tho Juvenllo authorities
will have no such scruples. Such depravity
hus been receiving special attention at
their hands, several casts having been In
vestigated lately. Slmms was In the city
Thursday. It Is now thought that he went
to Nebraska City. '
Defends the Greeks.
Albert 3. Hussell sends the following com
munication, which is self explanatory:
The writer In reading of a recent "Exodus
of the Greeks ' In an issue uf March 22, no
ticed the phrase, 'MJlvlng pluce to more de
Hiiable chimes of worKlugnien." This 1
think Is hardly fair, since there are found
both desirable and Undesirable people in all
nationalities. I am sure there are many
wiio are able and worthy laborers among
the Greeks. I have seen many who would

their employers and themselves.

WILL CREATE SIX CARDINALS
Fact thnt No American Is In the List
Causes Great Dtsnppolnt
, ment.
ROME, March 24. Tho pope has decided
to hold n consistory April "15 and create
six cardinals, namely Monslgnor Cavallarl,
the patriarch of Venice; Mgr. Rlgnaldl, the
papal nuncio to Spain; Mgr. Lorenxelli, the
ex-papal nuncio at Paris; Mgr. Lualdl,
archbiBhop of Palermo; Mgr. Mercler, arch
bishop of Mallr.es and Mgr. Maffl, arch
bishop of Pisa. The last named will bo
transferred to Rome as cardinal of the
curia.
James E. Qulgley, archbishop of Chi
cago, Thomas lllekey, coadjutor bishop
of Rochester; Bishop O'Oorman of Sioux
Falls and Archbishop Seton were Informed
of the approaching consistory by the As
sociated Press correspondent tonight.
Without voicing the opinion of any Amer
ican prelate it can be said that the list
of cardinals Is a disappointment, as the
United States considers Itself entitled to
larger representation in the eucred college
than It now has one cardinal. It la stated
that the United States Jn numbers Is the
fourth Catholic power In the world, bit
from the standpoint of an enlightened, pro
gressive country it position is even higher.
With one cardinal the United States is on
the same i,rvel of representation as Portugal
and BelBlum. ., .
Various reasons are rflven In Vatican
circles for the appointment of these six
cardinals and It is explained further that
cardinals are not created to satisfy na
tional desire, but as a result of the In
spiration of the pontiff, who Is guided by
Individual merit.
It in believed here Canada and England
also will be disappointed with the selec
tion, England having been without a car
dinal since tho death of Cardinal Vaughan.
Shortly after Easter the American arch
bishops here will meet and discuss among
other things the best way to augment
Petor's pence. It is proposed to raise these
contributions from 10o00 to $1,000,000, mak
ing good to this extent the losses the Vati
can has sustained In France.
REACTIONARY SCHEME FAILS
Attempt of Itnsslau Council to Ki
broil Ministry and Lower
House Defeated.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 24. A provo
cative attempt was made by the reaction
aries at yesterday's session, of the council
of empire to create embarrassment for the
ministry and disrupt the concordat, in the
hope that this would react on th lower
house and stem the current toward con
stitutionalism. An interpellation was Introduced by Gen
eral iDuranovo, M. Stlchlnsky and others
demanding explanations from the minister
of educutlnn, M. Von Kauffman, concern
ing the many cases of seditious activity In
the universities. This brought out an Im
passioned debate. In the courso of which
the reactionists inveighed against the au
tonomy of tl.e seats of learning a nurseries
for the revolution.
lit reply the minister pf education an
nounced that changes are contemplated,
but that the time for them Is not ripe. The
council adopted, by 79 votes to 76, aa ordor
tabling the Interpellation as Inopportune.
A similar development was noticeable
last wek in the lower house,' where tho
constitutional democrats combined with the
moderate right to form a working consti
tutional center to reject the extremist
tendencies of both flanks of the house..
The greatest importance 1 attached to
this process, as foreshadowing the possi
bility of harmonious action between the
centrists and the ministry, thus forming a
working majority.

Return from Visit to th

NEW YORK, March 24. Thirty-nine con
gressmen who have been inspecting work
on the isthmian catial, arrived here today
on the steamer Panama. Congressman S.
C. Smith of California said:
"We were delighted with all we saw.
They are taking out from So.OuO to ll.ouu
cubic yards of dirt a day, with an average
of aliout sou.OuO cubic yards a month.
"There are now estimated 62,Mi,0U) cubio

for yourself. There are S5.IA10 men on the
payroll, of which K.OoO are Americana.
"We did not tee a single Chinaman at
work on the canal. We found the feeling
was against their employment. The only
ground of complaint we found waa that
possibly the food was not all that might be
desired. This Is, of course, accounted for
by the great heat.

"UNKNOWN ARMY" REPORTS
Men Who ever Asked for Pensions
Are' Joe GettlasT Into
line.
WASHINGTON, March 24 "The "un
known army" has been the subject of much
controversy In discussing the forces en
gng"d In the civil war," sMd Commissioner
of Pensions Warner todav In spenklhir of
the pension roll, "but never until the Mo
Cumber service bill became a law was there
a means for determining anything about Its
extent. The "unknown army' hns come to
be so called largely because Its members
did not apply for pensions This they did
not do on account of .hf various reasons,
of delicacy, pride or Indifference, but most
of these causes have been removed by the
pasage of the service law and most of the
"unknowns." those who have never here
tofore asked for pensions, are coming to
the front. I think everybody will be sur
prised at the limited' number there nre of
them. So far there have been about i'O.OOO
applications under the new law. but of
these only a little over 1 net cent are In
the shape of the original applications, or. In
other words, applications of the hitherto
unknown possession claimants. Certainly
the entire number will not exceed 5.0U)."
Mr. Warner is of the opinion thit the
great bulk' of applications on account of
the McCumber law have been received.
When the law first went lito effect the
applications were received In enormous
quantities, as many as 20,000 coming In one
day. The number has now fallen to about
4.000 a day and Is rapidly diminishing. The
receipt of o many applications has occa
sioned a corresponding Increase of labor
In the office, but by shifting the clerical
force to meet the special demands It has not
been found necessary to augment the list
of employes.
The records of the pension office show
that 2,351 of the civil war pensioners died
in February, but there are still 652,410 of
them left on the pension rolls.
MORE RAIN JIN CALIFORNIA
