City Hall TMtlanr, Canon Bell, after two and a half hours' cross-examination, was excused, and Fresl dent Johnson of the city council was put on the stand, lie testified that Wetmore had asked him to use his Influence with iMnlel In connection with the Aroede. He waa followed by David Rowdtrn, superin tendent of the city hall. He stated that on meeting Wetmore one day he said that he knew on good authority that some one had attempted to bribe City Prosecutor Daniel, and that Wotmoro replied with a careless swing of his hand, saying that it would be all right and that he waa the one who made the attempt; and that only last Thursday he met Wetmore in the city hall and Wetmore asked him If he waa going to testify against him for those people. The rross-examlnntlon of Daniel on Fri day morning brought out that he had re ported all the movements of Wetmore as far aa he knew to Dean Bencher and Edgar Scott He aald that he did this to protect himself against a charge by Wetmore. He expected that Wetmore would oialm, when the attempt of bribery waa brought up aaglnet him, that he, Daniel, had at tempted to ahake down Wetmore and thus moved to protect himself and render ouch a position by Wetmore antenable. Following Dantol, Edgar Bcott waa called to the stand, and with a abort cross-exam-inatlon, was dismissed. At 4:30 o'clock the court adjourned the case until Monday morning at 1:30, When Dean Beecher will take the stand. FANNING DEFIES GOVERNOR Refuse to Attend Jack Banquet and Now Criticise Appointing of CommlM loners. Governor Shallenberger'a selection of two members of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners of Omaha does not meet with the approval of leading Jlmocrats, and Colonel Charles B. Fanning, spokes man, accuses Walter Moise and Harry Hayward of dictating the naming of the two new members. "I gave Harry Hayward fits for dipping Into this matter," said Colonel Fanning, "and he did not deny his part in the af fair. I told him plainly that he would never dictate any more appointments and that we would show him and 'Colonel' Moise who they are and where they stand." Even though he waa appointed a colonel by Governor Bhallenberger, Fanning does not hesitate to criticise the executive and to disobey hla orders. The governor or dered all the colonels on his staff to attend the Jacksonian banquet last Monday, but Colonel Fanning balked and declared he would take off his epaulets and break his sword before he would go to the banquet or any Jack meeting. And he did not go. BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTEE. Nebraska City Press: The Douglas county representatives seem to be more interested in guarantee of beer deposits than in Mr. Bryan's bank deposit scheme. Lyons Mirror: We believe the new guarantee law ahould embrace the Im mediate payment plan when a bank fails and compulsory that is compelling all of the banks of the state to come into the guaranty plan. Tecumseh Journal; The only difference of opinion on the bank guarantee law among the democratic members of the Nebraska legislature is whether the payment of de positors should be made immediately after the bank falls, or promptly, which means ninety daya. Split the difference, boys, and make It forty-ftve days. Fremont Tribune: Governor Shallenber ger's mesage to the legislature emphasises the proposition to experiment with a bank deposit law in this state. But the gover nor appears Intent on putting control of banking in this state wholly in the hands of the bankers. The people will Indirectly pay the guarantees but it will remain for the bankers to regulate their own business if the governor's recommendations are carried out. Kearney Hub: Two opposing Interests In the democratic majority of the state legislature are divided by two small words, vis: "Prompt" and "immediate." The two words relate to the payment of deposits under the bank guarantee law which tha legislature expects to pass. W. J. Bryan Insists on the use of the word "Immediate," which means mighty quick, and Dr. P. I Hall, vice chairman of the democratic na tional committee, thinks that the word "prompt" is sufficient meaning, we pre sume, aa quickly aa possible. The Bryan lies evidently scored In the election of speaker of the house In- the election of Charley Pool, whose principal opponent was credited with belonging to the Hall fac tion. Previous to the caucus, which se lected the speaker and clerk Mr. Bryan threw himself personally Into the breach and may therefore be credited with a per sonal triumph for whatever it Is worth. Beatrice Democrat: The banking law which the legislature la to pass st the present session will bs a compromise be tween several proposed systems. An effort will be made to adopt the Oklahoma sys tem, but there is a strong sentiment in favor of a less radical law. The Oklahoma law requlrea all state banks to contribute to a fund from which all deposits of failed banks shall be paid. The Oklahoma plan waa the one that was held up before the people during the campaign, but that waa because It waa the only one In operation In the country. A bill will be presented by those who fear the Oklahoma system providing a system by which state banks may unite for the purpose of guarantee ing each other'a deposits. The democratic legislature cannot refuse to pass some kind of a banking law, after making its campaign on that iasue, but the signs Indl- cttte that tl not be a compulsory guar antee scheme. St. Paul Republican: The Republican has received by mall three different drafts of bills which will be Introduced Into the legislature relative to the banking laws. aiming at the so-called "guarantee" law, none of whloh la a guarantee law at all. Each one of them provides for the pay ment of depositors, providing the banks wish them paid, or words to that effect. From a reading of these bills it is evident that there are going to be some warm times in regard to this troublesome ques tion and it may cause some uneasiness. The bill which seems in most of Its parts to be the strongest, does not provide for enforced tax to raise a guarantee fund at all, leaving It at the option of the bank er whether he Joins In the movement or not. This is to avoid constitutional ob jections. That some kind of a banking law will be passed Is certain, but whether IT will be a law such as was heralded from the stump, or whether it will simply be an excuse for campaign promises, remains to be seen.

The second day's session of the convention of the Na tional Wool Growers' associate n In this city was marked by another attack on the forest reserve. K. J.

"The power of the forest service Is three fold lglslatlve, executive and Judicial," said he. "They may make their own law or rules, decide their own rights and enforce their own orders. In the functions cf the service lies the greatest denger. It passes upen our rights Involving thousands of dollars, often without evidence F.ive reports from forest en ploycs, whese unrellblllty Is a Lyword In the west." Mr. Gosney asserted that he could cite numerous instances in his state whers favoritism, prejudice and graft have entered into the administration of the nation's forests. Charles F. Winter of Encampment. Wyo., spike on the necessity of continuing the existing tariff on wool, declaring that tha Industry cannot stand any reduction In rates.

LEGISLATORS BEARDvTHE JIMS Come Into the Dahlman CInb Meet ing and Discuss Omaha Charter. The Dahlman Democracy club held a regular meeting last night to which the Omaha members of the legislature were In vited as special guests. Oratory was the order of the evening and there were times when it seemed as though serene would hardly answer to describe the proceedings. Of course everybody was in favor of home rule, but the legislators seemed to hold some variety of opinions as to Just what sort of home rule Is best, and will be most likely to keep the republicans horned away from the public trough. Among the orators who orated some were Mayor Dahlman, W, F. Btoecker, Robert 11. Holmes, Peter O. Bolan, James P. Con nelly and W. 8. Shoemaker. The following resolution was unanimously passed: Resolved, That the Dahlman Democracy club, in meeting assembled, heartily en dome H. K. No. 49, a bill for an act to provide a pension fur members of the po lice department, and also, that portion of the new charter bill providing for a Ilk.' fund for members of the fire department.

DUNBAR SEEKS TO DIE Mother of Girl Who nan Away vrlth Jap Swallows Morphine Tab lets In Reataorant. Mrs. Frank Dunbar, mother of Hope Mar quardt, the girl who ran away with a Japanese cook some time ago, tried to commit suicide by swallowing morphine tablets at 7 o'clock Saturday morning in the kitchen of the Coty restaurant, C20 South Thirteenth street. At the Omaha Ocncral hospital this afternoon her condi tion was reported as serious, although she has a chance for recovery. "I'm taking poison," she said to Bob Davis, the cook at the Coxy restaurant, alien he asked her what she was doing i as she swallowed some of the tablets. Some time ago the police received a com plaint from a woman, who said that Mrs. Dunbar had threatened to shoot her be cause she objected to the Dunbar woman having anything to do with a man known both.

It i.1 noted w i pleasure that a goodly number of '.w far mer chorus singers have l een placed on t ie superannuated list, and nlwi that the ward robe of the company shows a perccpUhl) change for the better. In fact, the iho-uj presented a very lively and brilliant app n; ance, and even more to tho point J.i fji fact that they sang their parts with .mu spirit and effect. Mile. Allen, as Lucia, gave the part a decidedly Interesting and truthful portrayal. From the standpoints of both singing ti'i.l acting, she performed the part much ni e sympathetically than that of Marghrrila, the preceding evening. Her colora' uva work in the "mad scene" was clear und brilliant, and gave the audience an ojtp r tunlty for "entlng an unusual amount vt enthusiasm. As Edgar, Slgnor Torre renewed the rooM' Impression he made last year. Ills uotl'Mg was spirited and his work vocally, whll - lt suffered from an occasional lack of legato, attained to a very superior' degrea of gen eral excellence. Slgnor Torre, more'ivur, looked remarkably well In the part. ' ' , The role of Sir Henry Ashton was taken by Mons.

Dragonl in the part of lttiimofi all performed their parts well and, hi i'e nectlon with the tiirej mentioned u'.io gave a splendid rendition of the uulu., sextet. The conductor, Slgnor Fornarl, kept ( a sure hand on the work of the orch's:r. and accompanied the soloists with tasto and discretion. The audience on this occasion was much larger than at any previous ap pearance of the company, evidently at tracted by the many good reports ni l(n excellent work.
