POLICE STOPJOXING CONTEST
Buckles and Trammer Go One Round
nd Then Offlcera Score
- Knockout.
"Put on your clothes, sonny, the fight's
over."
Sergeant Cook stood behind Guy Buckles
In his corner at Wolf's hall at Twenty
second and Cuming streets laBt night where
a boxing contest had been advertised to
occur. In the opposite corner behind the
other principal. Monk Trummer, Sergeant
Samuulson conveyed similar news, while
Officer Bitter kept an eye on the seconds.
At first the fighters thought It was a
Joke, but when they realized that they
were "pinched" a howl, loud and long, went
up from then, and their friends.
"We have a permit to let this fight go
on," shouted one.
"I have a permit from the chief to stop
It," said Sergeant Cook, "and I guess that
Is the best one."
Buckles and Trummer were taken to the
police station, where they each put up
cash bonds for $M lor their appearance
this morning. The fight lasted Just one
round.
In police court Friday morning the two
glove artists had their hearing set for
Saturday, as they were out on bonds and
desired time in which to construct a de
fence. The charge against them was
vagrancy, but Prosecutor Daniel remarked
that they should have been charged with
prize fighting.
BRYAN MONEY IS NOT THERE
Democratic Headquarters Makes Load
Noise, bnt Quiets Down When
Taft Caah Cornea.
A loud nolxe waa made down at demo
cratic county headquarters over the Antlers
saloon on Fifteenth street Friday after
noon. It was a few of the un terrified pro
claiming their anxiety to bet on Mr. Bryan.
They asserted with much gusto that "here
is a cool thousand that Mr. Bryan carries
Nebraska by 10,000."
It happened that D. W. Phelps, a cigar
drummer, and one or two other republicans
"got wind" of it Mr. I'helrs also got
busy. In a few moments he and two
Irlfl-ids sent $1,100 up to the democratic
headquarters and from that time on during
the rest of the day that headquarters was
the most quiet corner In town.
Those unterrlfled gents who had the "cool
thousand'' backed lear down the steps and
out on the sidewalk without saying a word.
Announcements of the 1'heatera.
The curtain at the Orpheum will be raised
promptly at 8:16 this evening. Next Tues
day evening election returns will be read
from the stage. Wilfred Oarke 1n "What
Will Happen Next," will be the headline
feature of the new bill beginning Sunday
matinee.
The coming of "rlzona" to the Krug
theater Sunday wx'l be marked aa a red
letter engagemotit by theater-goers who
have witnessed performances of this excel
lent play In New iork. Philadelphia, Bos
ton, Washington or Chicago. New York
critics have unanimously declared that it
is the best play which Augustus Thomas
has yet given to the stage. Mr. Sill, In
the Evening World, said of "Arizona," on
the Tuesday fallowing the first production
at the Herald Square theater: "It is the
best play seen on Broadway In a genera
tion." Several excellent photos of the original
production of "The Girl of the Golden
West" are attracting much attention at
the Burwood theater, where the Burwood
stock will give the above named play Its
premier performance Sunday afternoon and
continue the production throughout the
week. This is a David Belaaeo play and
although It has never been presented by an
Omaha stock company, owing to the ex
cessive royalty fee demanded by Its owner,
Omaha people know It by reputation. The
Burwood production will be an exact dupli
cate of the New Yorkv production. The
Elks quartet of Council &)fAm miti vocalise
at every performance.

Why doesn't the World-Herald show a
comparative statement of the tax situation
In Douglas county as between the private
land owners and the railroads? It has
been distorting figures from various coun
ties In Its mud-sllnglng campaign of trying
to show that the republican administra
tions In Nebraska have permitted the rail
roads to escape higher taxes, while im
posing greater burdens upon the farmer.
All of which the records refute.
Here Is the situation In Douglas county.
Which the World-Harald has studiously
evaded:
State board returns on railroads
for 1904 $1,238,7:0
State board returns on railroads
for 1908 1.668,253
Increase $ 319,63
But this increase Is only a small part of
that made on railroad property for the year
1908 by a republican administration. That
is simply on railroad property exclusive of
the terminals, which for many years es
caped all taxation aa a result of the law
enacted from the bill Introduced into the
senate by Ed Howell, the democrat who Is
now before the people asking to be sent
back to the state senate.
Rest of the Story.
Here Is the rest of the story:
Return on terminals in Douglas
county $2,280,416
Added to the state board's return on
other railroad property for 1908 $1,668,253
this gives 'a total of $3,838,669, and repre
sents an Increase of $2,699,949, which the
state board under a republican administra
tion placed upon the railroad valuation In
Douglas county, as compared with tha
figures cf 1904.
Now, what Is the case with reference to
agricultural land valuations and taxes? In
1904 the land in Douglas county was as
sessed at $12.86 per acre. In 1908 the state
board made a return of $12.67 per acre, a
difference In favor of the land owner of
29 cents per acre.
These figures brought forth by County
Assessor Shrlver are accessible to the
World-Herald arnt have been throughout
the campaign. Why has Mr. Hitchcock.
In his mud-sllnglng campaign, not gone
over to the court house and dug them upT
County Assessor Shrlver says he would be
glud to furnish them to him or any of his
men.
"Lest we forget, lest we forget," once
more let it be stated that the reason Omaha
could not levy on these valuable railroad
terminals, the most valuable property in
Douglas county, long years before was
simply because of the presence at Lincoln
of Ed Howell and such men who fought
the measure through the legislature that
exempted from taxation this very property.
And this same Ed Howell Is the man for
whom Gilbert M. Hitchcock, congressman
editor and candidate for re-election, asks
the voters and taxpayers of Douglas county
to vote.

Otis n. McLaughlin Sues Owner of
Cleaning- Plant Blown I'p by
Explosion.
Otis B. McLaughlin, whose clothes clean
ing establishment at 2221 Cuming Btreet was
wrecked by an explosion of gasoline Sep
tember 28, Is defendant In a $5,000 damage
suit brought In district court by Howard
H. Morrison, a young colored boy who
was Injured in the explosion.
Morrison was working for McLaughlin
and had Just stepped out of the drying room
when the exploplon occurred. He says he
was burned about the back, legs and arms
and was pinned under debris while the
building around him was burning. The ter
ror he felt before he was released la one of
the grounds for his demand for damages.
He charges Mclaughlin was violating the
ordinances by keeping forty gallons of gas
oline In the building without proper pre
caution, and that the explosion was di
rectly due to the fact that there was no
ventilation in the drying room. This he
says allowed the gas from the gasoline
soaked clothing to accumulate In the room.
Heat from the steam pipes he says caused
this gas to explode.

ALL BUT ONE STATE FOR TAFT
Prank Carrie Gets Everything la
Line bnt Mississippi for
Hepnbllcans.
' "Everything now but Mississippi and it Is
doubtful," piped the irrepressible Frank
Currie, dean of the cattlemen of Nebraska,
as he blew Into town Friday on the bosom
of a tidal wave of republican enthusiasm.
"People have stopped asking if Taft will
carry Nebraska, New York, or this state
and that state," he said., "The only ques
tion now is, 'How big will bo his ma
jorities?' "Yes, he's got every state in tho union
but Mississippi, and that Is wobbling. Texas
Is a cinch; Georgia only needs to have its
vote counted and Nebraska will outstrip
'em all."
Colonel Currie Is one of the men who saw
as far back as- last July a certain Taft
victory in Nebraska and lie hasn't been
able to see anything since, though he has
been working like tho traditional Trojan,
Just as if he feared liryan might over

This Is the way Joe Butler, one of Aha
cogs In the democratic machine, dopes It
out:
"Mayor Dahiman will run for re-election
again whether Bryan is elected or not. If
both are elected, Jim will resign to accept
a cabinet position Bryan will give him,
either that of secretary of war or secretary
of tho interior. When Jim resigns, Lee
Bridges, who. will then be president of the
council, will become mayor. Tom Flynn
will get something good and Shallenberger
has promised to appoint mo state oil In.

Mr. Butler said nothing about the rumor
that Mr. Bryan, If elected, Intends to mak
Mayor Jim United States marshal, with
Tom Flynn as his deputy.
