TAMMANY DESIRES HARMONY
Conference Held to End Trouble He
twe en Mayor McClellan and
Democratic Society,
NEW TORK, April 29 An end to the
contest for control of Tamnfany hall be
tween Mayor McClellan and Ch.irlcs F.
Murphy was announced today, following a
conference between Timothy D. Sullivan
nd Corporation Counsel William B. Elll-
aon. the latter of whom represented the
mayor. j
Mr. Ellison, after the conference, gave
out a statement In which he said the
mavor will be left free to appoint the I
highest class of men he can And for city
office, but that he (Ellison) will advise
against the appointment of men Inimical
to the democratic organisation or Its lead
er. Mr. Sullivan, he said, agreed that
only efficient men should be retained In or
appointed to elty offices. The mayor will
recognlzo the right of Its lendeis to con
trol the democratic, organization and will
ask that the organization give him its sup
port In his efforts to solve the great mu
nicipal problems which confront him, Mr,
Ellison said. In that way it was hoped,
he added, to eradicate the line between
the organization and the administration.
Mayor McClellan tonight discussed hi
dealings with Tammany as' follows:
"I have made no deal and I have
authorized the making of no deal which
alters my position In any way. It Is, and
hall be, my ambition to e-lve to the city
the best administration that It Is possible
for me to give It and factlnnnl politic
will not be permitted to Interfere.
"I take back nothing that I have said
concerning the mamgement of the demo
cratic organisation. If the element that
constitute Tammnny Hall wish to har
monize on that plane, then I am for har
mony. For a political pence which Is o
oeedrul to my party In the city, the state
and the nation, I shall go as far forward
as any man. but not one step backward."

BOND ROBBERY INTERESTING
Fight Hondred Thousand Dollar
May Hav Been Taken by
W. O. Doasrlas.
NEW TORK. April . The big bond
robbery. In which the Trust Company of
America wns the victim, continues nn ab
sorbing subject In the flnmrlnl iHMt.
where every development Is eagerly scrvl
tln'red. The robbery, at flrat put down as a $TiO,ono
affair, has steadily grown until today It
appears that securities aggregating $800,000
In value had been taken by William O.
Ponglass. the bond clerk now under ar
rest. These flmirts ire reached as the
result of an Interview given by a member
of the executive oommlttee of the trust
company, who said that It took $1(8,000 to
redeem the securities hypothecated with
brokers for loan by O. M. Dennett, who Is
under arrest In connection with the rob
bery, and that the securities were pledged
for less than one-third of their value. He
also said that It was $300,000, and not $20,000
worth of securities that were hidden In
Broker Dennett's bed at the Manhattan
club.
Taken at the executive committeeman's
owi figuring, that Douglas and Dennett
realised only a part less than a third on
the averagf-lt can be seen that the $165,000
that the trust company baa lost on the
outstanding securities represents a value
of nearly $500,000. Adding the 1300.000 found
In the bod of Dennett make 1800,000. What
has become of the money Douglass and
Dennett raised Is unexplained.
The trustee who talked yesterday said
that he was of the opinion that much of
this had been lost In speculation.

"Abe Ruef ought 4o get W0 years In the
penitentiary. I think there can be no
doubt of hU conviction."
Such was the remark -of Claus Spreckles,
the world-famed sugar .king and father of
J. D. SpTcckles, who put up the coin for
the prosecution of Ruef, Schmlts and other
San. Francisco grafters. Mr. Spreckles, sr.,
had all plans laid for '- a modern sub
ground power street railway system when
the cataclysm of April 18,. 190, befell the
city by the bay. '
Mr. Spreckles. with Mrs. Spreckles and
companion. Miss Jollffe, arrived In Omaha
Monday evening on the Overland Limited
from San Francisco, enroute to Europe,
where they will spend the summer. The
party travels In Mr. Spreckles private car
and proceeded In It via the Northwestern
to New York. They will sail May 14 for
Europe.
"I am Just on the trip for my health,"
said Mr. Spreckles. "I am getting pretty
well along In years; I will be 79 years old
June 8. I have been suffering with rheu
matic troubles In my lower limbs for about
two years and think the trip abroad will
do mil good. Still, I do not Ilka to think
of loafing even the time It will take us
for our visit. I want to be doing some
thing, not that I want the money, but I
have been a pretty busy man and It wor
ries me to be Idle.
City Rapidly Recovering.
"San Francisco la rapidly recovering from
the disaster of a year ago. The earth
quake did not hurt us much; It was the
fire. The city Is rebuilding rapidly, but
we are much handicapped for want of
material. We cannot get It aa fast as we
need It. What we most need Is structural
Iron, lime and such building material, and
that we have to get from the east. San
Francisco has not lost any of Its commer
cial supremacy by the disaster, only de
layed a little. But then the San Francisco
people are builders. The city has suf
fered many great fires and comes out bet
ter tlfter each one. The new San Fran
cisco will be better and more beautiful
than ever. Our people trre full of Impa
tient energy. But that's the way with
California.
"They had not secured the entire Jury
for Abe Ruef's trial when we left; It's
slow' work getting that Jury. But they
will get one and I do not think there will
be any doubt of his conviction. He ought
to get 900 yeurs. He has been a great draw
back to San Francisco. We do not need
such men there. Public sentiment Is very
strong against him, and that Is the diffi
culty In getting a Jury to try him. But
they will get one.
Fears Kothlng from Japs.
"The Japanese question Is much over
drawn In San Francisco. I do aot antici
pate any trouble from Japanese Immigra
tion; neither do I think they are going
to be ao much of a menace to th Sand
wich island. Of course, they are. coming
In there pretty thick. The Chinese are
better workers than the Japs; the Chinese
will work, but the Japs have a little of
the blghead. I am not looking for any
trouble with them. We are pretty , well
able to take care of ourselves and I guess
we can handle the Japanese question with
out any war. I have not been to the
Sandwich Islands since Inst summer, and I
did not notice then that the Japs were
coming in In any very threatening num
bers. "I arrived In San Francisco first In 1856
and waa there during tha vigilance com
mittee days. Those wer thrilling day.

the editor of the San Francisco
Evening Bulletin. Mr. William had ex
cited the anger of the thugs and he was
shot down on the street like a dog by
Corey and Casey. That was .the start of
the vigilance committee, and the commit
tee did good work In ridding the coast of
the gamblers, murderers and thieves. The
spirit of the old vigilantes still prevails In
California."
Abiding; Faltk In Golden West.
Mr. Spreckles bears his years with the
vigor of a man thirty years his Junior. He
has an abiding faith In California and la
He speaks with a decided German accent
and is willing to talk freely upon alimt
any subject. Mrs. Spreckles Is a fine look-

and papa and are simple, plain folk, cor

Mrs. Spreckles said:
"I want papa to get away from business
and quit work and take a rest. But there
I one thing he cannot do very well, and
that la to rest. He thinks he must bi

MAYOR OUT FOR DENNIS0N
Dnhlman and Nine Others Testify He
Haa Good Reputation la
Omaha,
Ten reputation witnesses put on the
stand by Tom Dennlson were nil that
testified In the libel suit against the News
yesterday afternoon. Th last of the ten
left the stand a few minutes before 5
o'clock and court then adjourned, leaving
but one more witness to testify In re
buttal for Dennlson. This witness Is Joe
Khefry, former deputy sheriff, who will
go on at .I0 this morning, and his testi
mony will occupy about an hour. The
case will then be turned over to the de
fense for rebuttal testimony and the at
torneys for the News promise to finish In
time to allow a atart on the arguments
before adjournment In the evening. If
thla program Is carried out there Is
prospect the case will go to the Jury
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
As far as the plaintiff was concerned,
the examination of reputation witnesses
was uniform. In each case amounting to
two or three questions. In each rase the
witnesses said Dennlson's reputation was
good. Attorney Van Dusen devoted the
cross-examination largely to questions as
to whether or not the fact he nad run a
gambling house or had been charged with
crimes affected his general reputation.
Those who testified were A. B. Hunt of
the water company, Mayor James C. Dahl
man, F. A. Nash of the electric light com
pany, Fred Hoy, former councilman;
John Qulnn, editor of a labor paper; A. L.
Thomas, farmer and horseman; J. M. Tan
ner of the South Omaha Dally Democrat,
South Omaha; James B. Kilkenny, at
torney; A. C. Kugel. Journeyman plumber
and secretary Central Labor union; Peter
E. Elsawser. barber and councilman. Mayor
Dahlman qualified his testimony by say
ing Dennlson's reputation was good as far
as he knew.
Attorney Van Dusen, for the defense,
subjected Dennlson to a close cross-examination,
lasting several hours. The lat
ter part of his cross-examination related
to his statements of expense submitted to
Frank Bhercllff. He said one of these
statements was for WJ00. expended partly
in getting Shercllff out of the peniten
tiary. One Item was M,50n, given to O. H.
McMillan, a Cedar Rapids newspaper man,
for assisting In securing the parole of
Shercllff. Dennlson admitted he had used
the name E. W. Blunt while visiting the
penitentiary at Fort MaMlson, but denied
he had ever used the name at any other
time or place.
Frank Williams, an ex-convlct from Cass
county, testified . to seeing Shercllff and
Dennlson, make out the expense account
which was to be submitted to Shercllft's
mother for the purpose of getting money
i from his father's estate. Dennlson testi
fied he had let Shercllff have the sums of
money mentioned In the- expense account
with the understanding 8hrrcllff had 11.500
and interest coming from the estate. Wil
liams' testimony corroborated that of Den
nlson regarding the statement.

COUNCIL ACTS ON THE DOC
frsparsi Ordinance Krqairicc Vayor to
Call for f roteetioa w bss Issued.
MUST FIRST KNOW OF THE NECESSITY
McGovern Want Pound master Mil
lard Personally to pend Thirty
Days CatchlnS; Iogs on
lb Street.
The city council became enthused yester
day afternoon In committee of the whole j
over the dog situation In Omaha. After '
considerable discussion on the subjects of 1
rabies, dog catchers and dogs In general i
the council voted to recommend for pas
sage, upon final reading this evening, nn !
ordinance to regulate dogs. , .
This ordinance provides that when the
mayor shall And and determine upon Inves
tigation that there Is danger of the ex
istence or spread of rabies, or whenever he
shall find and determine upon Investigation
that many vicious dogs are running at
large to the danger of public safety, he'
shall Issue a proclamation ordering and
requiring all persons owning or harboring
dogs either to confine such dogs by tying I
or keeping In leash, or. If the animal be
allowed to run at large, a muzxle may be
placed on the dog.
The Idea of the cotinrll Is that if a dog
Is allowed off Its owner's premises It must
be In, leash or muzxlcd and must be kept !
on the premises In such manner that per
sons having legitimate occasion for enter- i
Ing the premises will not be endangered. !
It Is noted In the ordinance that It shall ,
be the duty of police officers to either
kill or send to the pound all dos found
on the streets In violation of the ordinance.
The period of time which It Is Intended
the mayor's proclamation shall cover Is
placed at four months, In the ordinance,;
but It Is believed this feature of the new
ordinance will occasion some debate this
evening when the ordinance Is brought up
for final reading and passage.
Father Wtlllnms Approves It.
Rev. John Williams of the Nebraska
Humane society addressed the council, and
said the new ordinance appeared to be
quite acceptable so far as he could see. He
said most of the members of his society
believed rabies existed in Omaha and he
was Inclined to that belief, although he
was not positive. Dr. Miller, he remarked,
did not apeak for the Nebraska Humane
society in the contention that rabies did
not exist In Omaha.
Councilman Zlmman favored the Idea that
all dogs taken from premises should be In
leash. Councilman McOovern declnred that
the whole present trouble with the dogs
was due to negligence on the part of the
poundmaster. Mr. McOovern said he be
lieved the council should ndopt a resolu
tion directing Poundmaster Millard to get
out himself for thirty days on his wagon
and round up the stray dogs.
Councilman Funkhouser declared he seri
ously believed the time hsd arrived for
the council to protect the cltlsi'n rather
than the dogs. He said he had Investigated
the situation for himself and waa assured
something was wrong with Omaha dogs.
Health Commissioner Connell intimated
that his department had some authority In
the premise, but had held off thus far to
give the councilmen time to act.
The new ordinance specifies that the
mayor "shall" Issue the proposed procla
mation. This time the council will tell the
mayor there is rabies In Omaha, and the
mayor will merely perform his executive
.function of issuing the proclamation with
out any delegation of authority as was held
In the last proclamation Incident.
McPheraon Get Contract.
The council committee decided to grant
T. B. McPherson of South Omaha, through
Guy L, Axtell, a fifteen-year contract for
the removal of garbage. Under this con
tract, which Is to be drawn up within a
day or eo, Mr. McPherson agrees to remove
all animal and vegetable garbage without
cost to city or cltlBens of Omaha. Within
the next ninety days Mr. Mcl'herson agrees
to erect a reducing plant. Garbage Is to be
removed once a day from the business sec
tion and twice a week from May 1 to No
vember 1, and once a week the rtnt of the
year, from the residence districts. A 15,000
bend Is to be furnished for the faithful per
formance of the contract. The work Is to
be under the direction of tho health com
missioner.
In connection with this new garbage
contract, Health Commissioner Cornell will
have Introduced an ordinance requiring cltl-
tens to keep their garbage separated' from
rubbish and to provide suitable receptacles
for the purpose. Dr. Connell believes that
when the citizens realise their garbage will
be removed free there will not be much
kicking on his proposed regulation.
James Whelan was gmnted the dead an
imal contract for three yenra. This contrucaJ
will provide that Mr. Whelan shall remove
all dead animals without cost to the city.
Licensee for Peddlers "
An ordinance to provide for the licensing
of persons who sell wares on street corners
was recommended for passage. A rate of
$2 per day or 110 per week was mentioned
In the ordinance and medicine agents wer
prohibited altogether.
