YEISER STILL NOT SATISFIED
ow Wants Special Venire Called by
Judge Troop Qanahed as
Was Uaneral.
. Having secured the dismissal of the
regular panel of Jurors In district court,
th attorneys for Charles Pumphrcy,
charged with the murder of Han Pak, are
now dissatisfied with the action of the
court In calling a special venire to tak
the place of the discharged panel. Thurs
day morning they died a motion to quash
the special venire of sixty which re
ported for duty. The motion is based on
the assertion the law does not provide for
a special venire In counties of more than
30,0(0 population.
Ths motion was presented by John O.
Yelser and as John P. Preen, Yelser's co
counsel. Is sick and unable to appear, the
arguments on the motion were postponed
until Friday morning. Objection Is also
made to ths special venire because the
names were not posted or the Jurors ap
portioned according to law.
The filing of the motion will delay the
Pumphrey trial until next week at least.
The county commissioners are Inclined
to think the action of th Judge In quash
ing the Jury Mat Is a Joke on the local
bar association as well as on them. The
bar association appointed a committee of
prominent attorneys who co-operated with
th commissioner tn drawing up the list
The commissioners think If they were
wrong In their methods the legal lights
should hav put them right when the Hat
was being mad.

WllWam Connaughton was shot and pain
fully wounded while In his saloon last
night. George Lynch, credited with being
the toughest appearing character which
Chicago ever donated to the city of OmRha.
did the shooting after he had engaged in
a quarrel with the bartender. The ball
passed through Connaughton's arm, but
J ahue, being nearest to Lynch, sifted him
snd disarmed him before he could fire a
second shot, which he was trying to do.
for he stepped up close to his man to mak
sure of his aim. As soon ss Lynch was
disarmed the frleads -f Connaughton ad
ministered a terrlflcbeatlng to him and '
was lucky to escape with his life. 4
soon as possible he was landed In the ci
Jail. Dt. DeLanney Vi called to dres
the man's hurts, which were many, but
none of them of a serious character. The
foundation for the quarrel was tn an accu
sation of Connaughton. Lynch came Into
the saloon about 8 p. m. As soon as the
bartender recognised him he told him that
he was not wanted, end accused him of
stealing a watch. Lynch Immediately
charged the bartender with being a liar
and Connaughton reasserted his chsrge.
"You're a liar, and I'll kill you," said
Lynch. He drew his gun at the same time
snd fired. At the Jail he said:
"I'm sorry I did not hit him In the
etttmsrh. That Is whst I Intended to do.
I would have got him the second shot If
they hadn't stopped me."
The saloon Is located at Thirtieth and Q
and there were many men In the place. It
Is considered fortunate that only one man
wns bit. Connaughton was taken home.

Expansion and Contraption, Currency
and Credit.
OMAHA. Nov. 20,-To the Editor of The
Bee: All sdmlt, and nobody questions, that
a vsst expansion of credits without corre
sponding Incresse of capital has marked
our late commercial and Industrial pros
perity. Many persons believe that the
country needs a larger volume of currency
to do Its business, that Is to say, the cur
rency should be Increased In volume to en
courage further extension of credits. With
$3,000,000,000 of gold-based currency which
has produced wild Inflation of values, ex
travagant living, waste and ruinous specu
lation, more of the hair of the dog must
be given to cure the bite "more money"
snd mure credit.
It is not mere guessing to say that this
country never owed so much of debt In
any former panic than It does todsy. Th
shock came, rot because of a want of
volume of currency, but from Its extrava
gant use $100,000,000, ior Instance, In the
non-productive automobile, sunk and burled
In the big bowels of a mere toy. Presi
dents and cabinets, bankers and "wealthy
malefactors," and a united press, say that
the way to cure the wild extension of
credits and the Inflated prices which hav
already bursted from sheer Internal pres
sure Is to flood the country with "more
money" more of the disease which all
the world knows to have been deadly In
flation to cure the disease from which the
country Is now suffering. "Slmllla slmlll
bus curanter" "like cures like." Is not
this a queer thing under the sun of sound
finance? Oh, for an hour of Samuel J. Til

Protest from Henry Keating.
OMAHA, Nov. 21.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I have been annoyed of late by re
peated declarations in the Dally News
that on the 24th of October I made the
following statement to a reporter for that
paper;
I would like to call Mr. Thomas' atten
tion to the fact that Omaha Is filled with
assignation houses that have government
licenses, where boys and girls as young
as 14 years go nightly and Sunday to revel
and drink beer. ,
I wish to deny emphatically having made
a ktatement of this character to anybody.
I was Interviewed by a News reporter on
the 24th of October regarding the removal
of screens, but said nothing about assig
nation houses, of which I had no knowl
edge then, nor have I acquired any since
that time. I hope you will do me the Jus
tice to give this space In your columns,
as I do not wish to be paraded In a false
light. HENRY KEATING.

SHOULD NOT REDUCE TAX
Juda-e Mabanch Declares Crelsjhton
Settlement should ot Lower
Connl's Share.
Judge Slabaugh, who, as county attor
ney, In 19i6 brought proceedings before the
supreme court to have the Inheritance tax
law declared constitutional, the law not
having been enforced since its passage In
1901, In speaking of the tax on the John A.
Crelghtc.n estate, said the division of the es
tate by agreement, taking from the legacies
of the Institutions on which the tax was
greater ano""givlng to the heirs where the
tsx Is less, should not be permitted to re
duce the tax fixed by the law under th
will,
"The devisees by agreement cannot de
prive the county, which Is not a party to
the settlement, of the amount due It a
tsx," he said. He also recalled the fact
that William H. Holmes, now In Jail for
embezzlement, was the first lawyer to
recognize the law before the test case was
brought, and paid the tax due from the
estate of Joseph Hughes, which he repre
sented. BOYS WHO WILL BE WANTED
Lads Between Tea and Fourteen De
manded for I'nper Carriers
After December Ten.
According to a statement by Probation
, Officer Bernstein, boys between 10 and 14
I years of sge will be in demand after De
I cember 10, as newsboys. Under the ctate
law children above th ags of 14 cannot
work on Sunday without violating th
Sunday law, while those under 10 ar bar
red from work by another statute. H
took the matter up with Judge Kennedy
and they arrived at tbe conclusion the
law did not apply to boys between 10 and
14 years, but that persons younger or older
handling th paper cam within It scope.
There msy be an attempt to test th con
stitutionality of th act on th ground that
It I class legislation since It exempts from
Its terms persons of a peculiar religion and
others engaged In certain pursuit. This
may be don by causing the arrest of en
gineers at th power plant of the street
railway company, when the Issua would
probably be raised sine railways ar ex
empt from ths operation cf th law.
PAYED ROAD ACROSS COUNTY
Dodge Macadamized All Way from
Creighton Inheritance Tax.
LMTEOVEMENT IS NOW ASSURED
One Hundred and Fifty Thoasaad
Dollars Sufficient to Pave Fif
teen Miles of This
Highway.
The Inheritance tax which will be paid
by the John A. Crelghton estate will en
able tho county commissioners to carry
cut the plan previously announced of ex
tending the Dodge street paving through
Elkhorn, Waterloo and Valley, giving a
paved road from Omaha practically to th
northwest corner of the county. This road
will serve as the main trunk road between
the principal towns of the county and
Omaha and for branch roads to be con
structed in tho future.
The distance from Omaha to Valley is
about fifteen miles and a rough estimate
places the cost of paving the road at
$10,roo a mile. The estimated tax on the
Crelghton estate Is $150,000. which will Just
shout do the work.
In addition to the Crelghton estate taxes
will be forthcoming from the Dr. S. D.
Mercer estate amounting to several thou
sands of dollars and from- smaller estates
which will swell the sum so that a good
margin will be left for smaller Jobs after
the main artery of travel Is paved. County
Commissioner Tralnor has a plan for the
