BEECHER ONE OF THESE Dean of Trinity Cathedral So Thor oughly Conrlneed of Man' In nocenre aa to oner to Serve Sentence for Him. The action of the United States supreme court In refusing to grant a rehearing of the case against Rev. George O. Ware on , a writ of certiorari to the federal circuit court of arpeals of the Eighth dlstrtrt, has revived local Interest In a caso that at tracted more attention than any of the , large number of prosecutions which dragged their length through the federal court: In Omaha within the land fraud Indict- nents. Rev. Mr. Ware had friends in imaha who believed in his Innocence, ntrong as the evidence waa against hhn and they were hoping to the last for favorable action by the highest tribunal In the land. They must now .resign them selves to the Inevitable of seeing their friend pay a fine of Sl.cov and serving one year In the Douglas county Jail. When Rev. Mr. Ware was sentenced by the court In Omaha so thoroughly did Rev. O. A. Beacher, dean of Trinity Cathedral, believe In his Innocence that he arose in the court room and actually begged to be allowed to go to Jail and serve out the year's eentence of this, his brother In tho cloth. But the court coold not entertain i hi proffer. History of the Case. Rev. George 3. Ware, a minister of the Episcopal church, was Indicted Jointly with Frunk W. Lambert and Harry Welsh on November 2S, 1MB, by the federal grand Jury for the district of Nebraska for con spiracy to defraud the United States out of use, title and possession to large tracts of land In Hooker and Thomas counties within the U. B. I. ranch, of which Ware wa the principal owner and president, and also for perjury and subornation of perjury In procuring faUe and fraudulent entries under the KlnkaWt law by old sol diers from the Grand Island Soldiers' home, with the Intention that these entries should revert to the Interest of the U. B. I. Land and Cattle company. ' An Incident of the procurement of the Indictment was that the foreman of the grand Jury that brought the Indictment was subsequently Indicted by another grand Jury on the charge of attempting to Influence the Ware gratid Jury to return "no bill" against W'are, by furnishing the Jurors with free transportation to and their homes, and also for furnishing id of the Jurors with trip passes to Ciloi-,'. However, on trial of the case against ttit Jrcrmsn of the Jury he was neslnnlng of the Trial. The t'ltnj of Rev. Mr. Ware .began In the Ual'.i '""-'.- district court February 19, and conunud for fourteen days, re- suiting In th conviction of Ware, and he j at once filed t siotlo". for a new trial.' whU-h waa denltd. and War was sentenced , to pay .a An of $1,000 and to one year's ; bnprlsonmeat In tba Douglas countJL Jail., j Ware at ones took an "Appeal to ' the ' United States circuit, court , of .! appeals. which was denied by that court and the -case was finally .carried to v the United States supreme court, with the result of i the affirmation of the Judgment of th lower courts and the sentence Imposed by Judge W. II. Mungcr, before whom the case ' was tried. In the meanwhile Ware resigned from the ' I ministry, giving up his charge of the Epis copal cuurcn ai neaawooa, o. u. It probably 'will be several weeks before Mr. Ware will appear at Omaha to enter upon his sentence. The case will have to be certified down from the United Fyates supreme court to the circuit court -"of ap peals and the clerk of that court ''ill have to certify the case down to the Nebraska United States district court with the necea sary mandate directing Ware to appear at Omaha to. enter upon his sentence. At Home ear Mnllen. Mr. Ware Is at present at his home near Mullen, Neb., where he has been engaged In ranching since his trial.

The special train entered the Union station amid the boom ing of cannon, chrleklng of whistles and cheering of thousands. . The strefts passed by the president were one continu ous ovation. President Roosevelt lh a speech at the Auditorium hotel, said: "There h been trcuble In the stock mar ket; In the high financial world, during the last few montha. The statement has fre quently been made that the policies for which I stand are responsible for that trouble Now. gentlemen, these policies of ; mine can be summed up. In one sentence, j They represent the effort to punish success ! ful dishonesty. 1 doubt if these policies I have had any material effect In bringing about the present trouble, but If they have, It will not alter my determination that for the remaining sixteen months of my term these policies shall be persevered In. '"If to arouse that type of civic manhood In out nation It were necessary to suffer any temporary commercial depression, I should consider the cost but small. All we have done haa been to unearth the wrong doing. It was not the fact that it was unearthed that did the damage. All I did was to turn on the light. I em re sponsible for turning on the light, but I am not responsible for mhat the lifcht showed. It la Impossible to cut out a cancer without making the patient feci for a few days rather sicker than he felt before. No material well-being can save thia nation' If it loses tho lift towards higher things. I will permit neither the demagogue upon one side nor th re actionary on the other to drive me away from the course or policy which I regard most vital for the well-being of this na tion. Honesty Worthy of Praise. And the thing most Important to remem ber is that that policy has two sides. It would Indeed be an evil day for this nation If were ever permitted to grow up a spirit which would discriminate against tho hon est man who achieved business success. There Is nothing meaner than hatred of the man who prospers honestly simply be cause he has prospered, and I challenge the spirit of, every good American when I say that the honest rallro!!. the honest banker and tho- honest buulness man is The man who makes a fortune t.eeause his ex ceptional business ability enables him to render exceptional service to the commun ity. If ever there should be any tempo rary gusts of popular feeling that demand what Is wrong, what Is unrighteous, then -tho true servant of -the people is the-- man who disregards that temporary wish of the people to do evIL. (Great applause.) Defender off Property. "No man will stand more strongly than I will In the defense of property, so long mr It Is honestly acquired and honestly used. (Cheers.) I will stand against crimes of brutal violence. Just a. I stand against crimes of unocrupulous cunning. There art certain men who say that I have talked aealnst men of wealth as such. Those gen- ! tlemen are blind If they see the facts in that light. I will protect every way In my power honest property. I will protect the honest man to the extent of my ability, and in no way can I so materially aid the honest man of wealth as by doing all In my power to bring to Justice his brother of dishonestly gained wealth. Our whole ' movement Is simply and aolely to make the decalogue and the golden rulo of some practical moment In the business life of the community." (Grat applause and cheera.)

As none of the three propositions sub mitted received a majority of the votes raat and only a little more than half of tho mambers voted, the executive com mittee, on receiving the report of the special committee, decided to call the gen eral meeting. Those opposed to paying the high rental of M.OOO per annum for the space offered In the Webster-Sunderland building, were divided by voting for tho other two propositions, hut the votes In favor of the Webster-Sunderland building failed to du clde the question.

Mayor ' Dahlraan announced at 1 p. In. tliat he would veto tile resolution providing for a contract with James Jersen for con structing the Isard street sewer outlet. In sneaking of the iratter Mayor Dahl man said: "I take this action for the reason that the city engineer has passed his opinion on the subject and does not approve the contract. In a letter to n.e today he offers to pay tho cos of re.advertlslng for bids If he cannot save the city $s,00 by so doing. He says that this Is equal to his salary for three years. It Is also equal to my salary for the same time, and If there Is any chance to save money for the city I'm going to do all I can to save It." The letter mentioned by the mayor Is as follows: After perusing the statements submitted by Mr. Jensen, who seeks to secure the award for the Isard street sewer contract, I em more than ever convinced that the method by which he and his associates seek to convince the council thRt my esti mates are unreliable. Is such as is abso lutely unworthy my attention. Statements are swelled and padded wherever possible to promote the Interests of the bidder. Inasmuch us I am thoroughly convinced that the city can save a very large amount of money by readvertlslng, and without any other Incentive than that of promot ing public Interests, I hereby authorize you and the clly council to deduct from my December salary the cost of readvertlslng If, as a result of such readvertlslng, the city will not get a bid of at lesst tSf.Om, or the equivalent of my salarv for th entlro term of three years, less tlan that of Mr. Jensen, and I further agree that in ao re advertlslng no change Will bo made In the specifications or dimensions, or material of the work, from the original plans, as heretofore adveitlsed, exception one-hnlf block, where certain construction by the Northwestern Railway company since tho bids have been recejved, necessitates a modification in line, with two additional curves put in. There will be no change of grade, or In depth of sewer In any part of the line. , ' Under theso circumstances, there can be no excuse for not readvertlslng for this work and giving the city the benefit there of, I assuming the cost for such readver tlslng If 1 fall, and the clly to derive th benefits resulting therefrom.

'SO FLURRY n WLS'I Omaha and Nebraska Absolutely Inde pendent of Wall Street. MONEY TO CARRY ITS BUSINESS Country Bankers Have Surplus t Loan on This Market. SIX MILLION OF THIS IN ONE YEA1 Deposits in City and Country Show t Steady Increase. BANKS ON CONSERVATIVE LINK Local Bank Officials F.spres Opinio. ew York Flurry Will Only Serve to Clear l' n Bad Sltnntlon. The recent flurry on Wall street snd in eastern banking circles has not produced even a ripple In Nebraska, according lo the president of one of the largest banks In Omaha, who for business reasons dors not rare lo have his name used. Money Is still coming In frrni the smaller banks of the state and security Is being placed dally with the larger Industrial and mercantile establishments of Omaha and South Omaha. He declared there la no sign of a loss of confidence among the loaning class. "During tho year." he said, "our bank has placed for Nebraska state banks over 1,5iX0O. principally with local Institutions. Absolutely no effect hss been produced on Omaha banks by the New York trouble. Our deposits have shown no signs of falling off an I no one appears to bo worrying over "We have Just received from a small bank a request to place three loans of $3,000 each at 6V, per cent. This Is on Illustration of the way momy is coming In. The small banks In the state appear to have inoro money that they can uio locally and they are sending It lo us to place for them." Six Million In One Tear. The banker estimated that his bsnk placed about onc-fonrth of the money lonned In Omaha for the smaller hanks of the state. He estimates about SS.fln0,X has been thus placed during the last year by Omaha banks. Since the Wall street flurry there has been no Indication of a falling ol In tho demand for securities for small money loaners. The money continues to come In as regularly as It did before. "I consider the changes In the Mercan tile' National bank In New "York are wise. They tend to clear the llnuni al atmospher snd restore confidence lii the Institutions. It also removes undesirable persons from the control of the bank and puts the Insti tution on a healthy bast.. F. Augustus Helnze never oug:u to be at the head of any banking Institution. He. has made millions In stock gambling and speculation which unfits a man to be the head of a large conservative Institution like a national bank. "Not long ago. shortly before the Mercan tile Incident, I recelvod an advertisement from, an, eastern bank in which It emphfi slsert the f.ot that F. Augustus Helnze had become connected with tho bank. It also , advertised that U was paying 1H per Cent dividends. While theso facts were rlted at evidence of strength, they are realty evidences of weakness. If the bank pays IS per cent dividends, It is not safe. Tho bank Is being milked for tho benefit of the stockholders and at the expense of tho depositors and tho safety of the money."
