Andy Maryt Buried by Cavein of a
Telephone Conduit Ditch.
TAKEN OUT SERIOUSLY BEUISED
Absence of RrgUtrar of Vital Sta
tistics la Embarrassing; to Under
takers In the Matter of
Interments.
Andy Maryt, an employe of the telephona
company, was burled In a conduit yester
day evening by the caving In of the earth
above where he was at work. He remained
under ground for nearly an hour before he
could be reached. His Injuries, however,
were not serious, though painful. The
physicians thought at first that hts neck
, Jiad been broken, but after being taken to
tlifet hospital It was found that the injury
consisted of m severe straining ot the
muscles, which left them powerless.
The telephone company Is putting in a
conduit of large dimension alongside ot
the Q street viaduct at Twenty-seventh
and Maryt had been put to work there In
the afternoon because he could understand
English. He had been working only an
liour or two when, after bringing In a load
of cement, the roof of the conduit where
the excavation was In progress caved.

"Notwithstanding the lack of a registrar
of vital statistics, a man who has the right
to Issue burial permits, I shall continue to
bury the dead,"- said Morgan Heafey last
night. This statement was brought about
from the fact that the resigned registrar
has refused to do the work without pay
and the newly appointed registrar has re
fused to accept the appointment tendered
by Dr. V. H. Wilson, head of the State
Board of Health.
In two or three Instances the undertaker
of the city have met with difficulty In ship
ping cases. It Is likely that unless the dif
ficulty Is speedily st'ttled the undertakers
will have to resort to the expedient of hav

formality In some of the Omaha undertak
ing establishments, so that the proper per
mit may be Issued. In the South Omaha
cases to be burled 'in South Omaha ceme
teries little difficulty will be encountered,
In all probability, but In cases where the
body goes to Omaha for burial much diffi

that since the Investigations of a year ago

are absolutely strict on every detail of the
law.
The whole difficulty, as charged by E. P.
Roggen at the time of his resignation, lay
In the fact that the chairman of the fi
nance committee had refused to honor his
claim for a 10-cent fee on each record of
birth and death, which he had been ac
customed to receive. The chairman ts
Matt Paterson, one of the democratic mem
bers. The other democratic members stand
with him as does one republican. It has
been laid at the door of republicans by
papers representing the democratic Inter
ests, but the facts, as admitted by Mr.
Roggen show a squabble among the demo
crats of the city council with the city
clerk's office. Roggen explained that Matt
Paterson became angry because he, Rog
gen, had testified In such a manner con
cerning the city finances, that Paterson
was called before the grand Jury and given
an examination which tried his patience.
To get even, he cut off the pay of the
deputy registrar's fee.
Roggen then resigned and refused to do
the work on the ground that there was
no fee attached, and he could not be com
pelled to work for nothing. Dr. Wilson ap
pointed Dr. John Koutsky and the doctor
refused to accept. The latest la a com
munication from Dr. Wilson recommending
that the mayor and city council agree
on an appointee. This may be taken up
Monday evening.
In the meantime the technical difficul
ties of getting along without a registrar
have grown quite serious. The record of
births la not so serious,' but the deaths
bring about unpleasant situations.
Little Work for Police.
South Omaha has been very quiet In
police circles for a month. So much so
that the department has only two or three
minor cases to work on. One of these is
the case of Roman Storoska, who was ar
rested on suspicion Wednesday. It has
developed that he has been handling a lot
of stolen shoes. The man who sold him
the shoes is wanted by the police. lie mada
good his escape to Sioux City, however.
The arrest of Storoska, It Is hoped, will
lead to Information concerning the other
man which will result In his arrest.
Leo Wlehn was yesterday arrested at the
Instance of the Nebraska Furniture com
pany. It Is charged that he uwd his credit
to secure a lot of furniture and when he
gained possession sold the furniture at a
sacrifice to a second-hand dealer and at
tempted to get out of town with the pro
ceeds. He failed in this and will therefore
have to answer the charge of obtaining
property by false pretenses.
Mrs. P. A. Burke caused the arrest of a
Greek who attempted to beat her out of
$10 In changing a $30 bill. Ho was searched
at the Jail and $tf was found In his posses
sion. He was willing to pay back the
nr.onry rather than to endure prosecution.

RULING OF NATIONAL IMPORT
Derision by Jsdge Manser Defines
High! of Maaufactarers Using
Trade Marks.
A decision of national Interest has Just
been handed down by Judge Munger re
lating to the right of one manufacturer
using the name of another manufacturer
of a similar product where the names of
tho manufacturers are Identical.
Judge W. H. Munger handed down a
memoranda opinion Friday morning deny
ing the Injunction prayed for by the Walter
Baker company, chocolate and cocoa man
ufacturers, to restrain the grocery firm of
Sidney C. Gray of Columbus, Neb., and
others from selling chocolate and cocoa
products bearing the name of "Baker" that
are not manufactured by the Walter Baker
company.
The original petition alleged that the de
fendants were selling chocolates and cocoas
manufactured by William H. Baker of
Syracuse, N. T., undir the name of "Bak
er's" products, and that purchasers were
deceived In the purchase of these prod
ucts, believing that they were the products
of the Walter Baker company, which
claimed the trade mark of "Baker" In
chocolate and cocoa productions. There is
another firm, that of W. H. Baker of
Maryland, engaged In the manufacture of
similar products, but this firm does not
seem to be involved in the suit. The suit
at bar was begun in February, 1908, in the
circuit court of the United States in Omaha
and a temporary restraining order granted.
Judge Manger sustains his decision in this
matter by quoting from the decision of a
colleague on the United States bench in
the Lorlllard tobacco case.
