The Franklin
is now in its eighth year."
It is no experiment, but a tried and demon
strated success; high-grade, sensible, and recog
nized by makers and automobilists as a leader
among American automobiles.
Franklins have been built on the same
principle for seven years. No deviation from
the original idea. Continuous refinement along
the same line and the right line. That is some
thing of a lead.
The first Franklin made in 1901 is running
and giving good service today, and so are over
7000 other Franklins.

I QUESTION OF DOUBLE SHIFT UP
Representative Indirectly A or nurd of
"hlftlna; Hla rosltlon on Qees
tlon Hp D lames Charter
Rprlaloa Committee.
The friend of Jerry Howard, who under
hla direction, put up a fight In the delibera
tiona of the charter revision committee for
the double ahlft for tha fire department of
South Omaha, have practically come to the
conclusion that Jerry haa shifted the double
ahlft, after. having promised a mass meeting
of belligerents to take up the fight In Lin
coln. , The reason they believe this Is be
cause the representative haa Introduced his
hill concerning the South Omaha Board of
Kire and 'Polite Commissioners and made
no mention of the double shift. It Is said
by the backers of the representative that
this was the place agreed upon to take up
the question of the double shift. Therefore,
the men are beginning to complain.
. Jerry, on his part, has written to South
Omaha claiming that the charter revision
committee haa pocketed its , report. It Is
stated by the friends of the double shift
that the recommendations of the charter
revision committee, in the form of amend
ments to the city charter, were placed In
the hands of Senator J. M. Tanner and
were given to him by 8. U Wlntera and
C. W. Sears. An effort was made to find
Jerry, Howard and fhlHp.Kraua by. these
. representatives of the charter revision com
mittee, but they could not bo found. Coplea
ff iha document for each were left with
Senator Tanner for delivery.
lienor! la Voluminous.
The amendments make quite a volum
inous report. The amendmenta concerning
at adlng and Improvement districts have
been rewritten to define the steps more
clearly and to outline a way of reassessing
for Improvement In those cases where
technical errora have crept in to invalidate
the aaresatnent.
It Is also provided that in the cases of
personal injury due to defect of the atreets
or sidewalks the city shall not be held
liable unlesa a written notice of auch defect
shall have, been filed with the city clerk
at leaat five days previous to the Injury.
This provision will relieve the city of litiga
tion in damage claims amounting to nearly
IlM.000 annually. The average Judgment
actually aecured from thia mass of claims
haa usually been about $8,000 to $10,000.
The charter revision bill also contemplatca
the Issuing of l.'S.OOO for the Increase of
equipment of the fire department and $15.0(10
for the Improvement of the city parks.
The funds are all Increased, especially in
the fire and police fund.
The city attorney also added what he
styled a corrective or curative amendment,
the entire proposition, of the Nebraska
Power company, namely, a provision grant
ing the right to the city to enter into a
contract in accord with the proposed
scheme.
The bill of amendmenta alao Includes
the proposed revision to abolish the office
of tax commissioner, and provides that this
work ahall fall on the city clerk and his
deputies and that the said clerk ahall also
be city auditor of all tha financial affalra
of the city.
Trinted copies of tne amendments In full
will be out within a few weeks.

Pr oirm of Trial.
J. J. Wetmore. who testified yesterday
morning that he had fceen solicited on the
street by City Prosecutor Daniel to come
to his office, gave contrary testimony tie
fore the May grand Jury, according to
Thomas Noonan, a member of that body
who was called ty tho state In rebuttal
during the afternoon. Wetmore waa con
troverted on other points by Noonan, over
whose testimony a running fire of objec
tion was raised by Attorney Connell for
the defense.
Wetmore himself had been called back to
the starxt a few minutes before and naked
by County Attorney English regarding hla
statements to tha grand Jury. The ques
tions asked him covered the main points
at insun between himself ana Daniel. Wet-
nvro during the rebuttal showed a much
weaker memory than he had displayed when
telling his own story in the morning and.
answered every question with nn "1 don't
remember."
Validity of Testimony Questioned.
There was a continuous crossfire of ob
jection and retort between the attorneys
during tho second session of the day and'
the defense, overruled on the admission of
Noonan's Important and apparently damag
ing evidence, took exception at every point.
Attorneys who watched tho progress of
the; trial declared that while the evld'-nce
may Jrurt Wetnioro with the Jury, yrt It
might, possibly furnish tho defense with
grounds for a reversal later.
The defense had strengthened its case by
calling to the stand George Wetmore,
father of the defendant and an elevator
operator in the city hall. He supported
Wetmnre's tale of meeting Daniel on Far
nam street. Mrs. Grace Home of Atlantic,
fin., was also called on the same point.
Cross-examination of these was brief, and
then Daniel was called by the defense with
regard to the dates of Issuance of the in
formations against the Arcade.
Defense Heats.
The defense rested and the first witness
In rebuttal was Mr. Daniel again. He re
affirmed previous testimony. After that
Wetmore was called and quizzed, ns nar
rated, about his grand Jury testimony, and
Noonan followed him. Attorney Connell
went after him on cross-examination to
ahow that his memory was too wonderfully
exact. Noonan, it developed, had made
notes on the testimony during the grand
Jury session, and this memorandum Con
nell used In firing questions at the wit
ness. Later there was a squabble over Its
being offered in evidence, and Judge Sears
overruled the defense's objections.
Police Judge Crawford testified regard
ing a talk with Daniel over issuing of a
second batch of warrants against the Ar
cade, and promised Daniel to Issue them
himself, and stated that he did not think
the police would object to serving them.
Argument will begin at the morning ses
sion today and the Jury may get the case
by evening.
Contrary to the general expectation, Very
Rev. Q. A. Beecher escaped cross-exami
nation In the morning, but Wetmore did
not, and was Jiarried for two hours, by
County Attorney English after he had fin
ished his direct testimony.
It developed during the cross-examination
that Wetmore al30 approached Councilman
McGovern at Daniel's suggestion, he said,
and asked McGovern to go back to Daniel
and get the latter to allow the Arcade to
continue running. Daniel, so Wetmore said,
said he wished to get at the bottom of the
Arcade situation and urged Wetmore to get
aeveral councllmen to expert their Influence
on Daniel. For this reason Wetmore sought
out Johnson and McOovern. The county at
torney did not press Wetmore for a detailed
explanation os to why Daniel should wish
tho councllmen to urgo Daniel to let the
Arcade alone, but let the statement go be
fore the Jury as it stood.
Wetmore Exonerates Daniel,
Another Interesting statement Dy Wet
more amounted to an exoneration by him
of Danlel'a motive in the whole case. Ac
cording to Wetmore's story, Daniel wished
to get M. F. Martin to come to him, but
Wetmore did not think the city prosecutor
hoped to get money from Martin. Aside
from these points the' morning session
could be aummed up by saying that Dean
Beecher teatlfled thut Wetmore admitted
trying to bribe Daniel as an agent of Mar
tin and that Wetmore denied tills and of
fered an explanation of his behavior. It
was the general impression that Wetmore
told his story on cross-examination in a
straightforward fashion, but that the
cross-examination did not help him.
Dean Beecher was called to the stand
wiien court opened and occupied it only a
few minutes.
"Wetmore came to me last February,"
said tho clergyman," and admitted that at
the instigation of Martin lie had tried to
bribe Daniel and aald he hid bribed other
officials whom he did not name. I asked
him to tell Canon Bell what he had told
me and ha did so In the afternoon. I
asked him at whoso Instance or behest he
had acted and he answered, 'Mr. Martin.'
When the book in which Dean Beecher
had Jotted down the information aa to
resorta which Wetmore furnished had been
identified by the dean, Attorney Connell
for the defense offered It in evidence, after
lie had vainly urged the state to do ao.
The Idea had prevailed that Dean Beecher
was to undergo a roughshod cross-examination
and there waa surprise when the de
fense excused him without a question. The
state rested and Wetmore took the stand
in lila own behalf.
Asked Aboat Knowing Martin.
"Daniel met me on Famam atreet one
day In December, 1907, he declared, "and
asked me to come to hla office. When I
came he aaked If I knew Martin. I said,
yei." He asked if I waa on friendly terma
with him and I said 'No.' Then he asked:
" 'Did you ever hear of Martin paying
anybody any money?"
"I answered that 1 had heard rumors.
Daniel asked me if I thought I could find
out and I aaid I might and agreed to try."
The witness then testified that he had
visited Martin and also talked to William
Sutherland, a aaloon keeper In the Arcade.
He learned nothing definite and. returning
to Daniel, ao Informed him. At Daniel's
solicitation, the defendant continued, lie
visited Martin several times more and on
one occaaon asked him if he would be will
ing to pay money for the privilege of con
tinuing operationa.
"Martin aald he would gladly pay tOuo or
fl.oM. or a large aalary. if it would be any
uae, but that it wouldn't do any good be
cause beaidea Daniel there was the police
Judge."
Wetmore said he reported this ronversa-

Uon to Daniel and this stair merit is the de
fense theory as to how Daniel became
oonvineed (hat Wetmore was trying to
bribe him. Wetmore entered a denial of
coming "with pockets bulging with mone"
and of making any effort to bribe Daniel.
He testified that at Daniel's request he had

by the obliging Mr. Sutherland, 'he saloon
man.
Qaestlon of Pay Cornea t'p.
Then for the first time, according to
Wetmore, the question of his compensation
for his work arose. Daniel told him to see
Dean Beecher, saying a movement was on
foot against resorts, and that It might be
worth lils while. Wetmore went to see
the dean, who said he had heard of him
and accused him of trying to bribe Daniel.
Wetmore denied this. Beecher then made
an appointment for the two of them with
Bell In the afternoon, and Wetmore, ac
cording to his story, told Bell the same
statements he had made In the morning.
It was after this that he had the conversa
tion with Dave Rowden In the city hall,
whrn the custodian said he had heard that
there had been an attempt made to bribe
Daniel and Wetmore had answered, "I sup
pose they mean me." He added: "This
was after the discussion with the clergy
m n."
The witness went on to tell of his visits
to Johnson and McOovern, at the alleged
request of Daniel. On re-dlrect examina
tion the only question asked Wetmore was
about the subject matter of his conversa
tion with the "clergymen, and he answered
that the talk of bribing Dariel had been
only a small part, the rest bring in rela
tion to resorts and assignation houses.

get the base ball and foot ball pennants
for 1907 and the foct ball pennant for

for that vear. There was some discussion
before the meeting, started by Hastings

for 1908, hut the members of the pennant
committee, upon being Interviewed, de
clared themselves as believing Bellevuo en

There will probably be a dual track meet
between Donne arul Bellevue in the spring,
as Doane has expressed a desire to have
such a meet. This will be excellent train

all the Nebraska colleges at Lincoln later
In the spring.
The managora of athletics at the different

fur the spring were arranged. This year
a new system will be tried. Instead of each
team playing all the other teams in the

two parts, the east and the west, and each
team will play two games with all the
other teams In their section, the winners
In each part playing a same at the end
of the season to decide the state cham

lessen the expenses of the base ball sea

It Is a tradition In Chicago that George
Ade In the days before fame and blujiels
CHme to hlin, used to exilaim: "Why does
not some one write a play about people
like un, people who live in small flats and
live and move and have their being on a
salaiy of 1.0 or so'.'" A chorus would
Invariably arise: "Why don't you do it
yourself?" And Ade nould reply: "Well,
maybe I will some day." However, Ade
ever did, and Eugene Walter proceeded
to write the sort ot drama which the ln-
dianan had In mind. This was "Paid In
Full."
The play was seen heie last October and
made then an Impression like that achieved
everywhere clr.e. Interest In It Justified
h return engagement, as last nlcht's at
tendance showed. It Is. not altogether a
pletsant drama, hut is a long way from
being repcllant, nevertheless. If the lead
ing character happens to he a contemptible
cad, Smith Is not, end the old sea captain,
brutal, coarse and with the sort of morals
which might be cxpictcd, is yet an inspira
tion In his profound corvictiiti In the In
herent worth and virtue of a good woman
who is beyond and above all temptation.
There Is one problem which l ho drama
Involves which so far as the play Is con
cerned has not awakened much comment.
This Is the broad hint given that Emma
Brooks, aTter leaving the worthless Joe,
who has been "paid'' all, shall many the
sterling Mr. Smith. It Is a consummation
which few who have seen the play will
find it In their hearts to cry out against.
but which, viewed abstractly, would secure
the condemnation of many who disapprove
of divorce on theological or sociological
grounds. But the many who think divorce
Is all wrong would find a sneaking ap
proval of the marriage In t lie back of their
heads, thus showing once again that emo
tion and sentiment do not always square
with abstract convictions.
The company Is one of uniform excel
lence. Neither ardent partisans of Tullv
Marshall or Guy Bates Post would find
it an easy matter to say wherein their fa
vorite In the role is greatly superlur to
William L. Gibson as Joe Brooks, the clerk
who steals from his employer, the bluff
sea captain. Gibson spared tho character
not at all, and If criticism of his acting
could find any foothold It would be that
he made the man Just a shade more dis
agreeable In the first act than was neces
sary. This ia hut a suggestion, however,
and It should be said In tribute to him that
once during the action of tho drama he
held the chief attention of tha audience
when tho attention should have- been
equally divided between hhn and the other
players at tho lime.
Miss Perry haa a sympathetic quality In
her voice which, added to a part calculated
to win sympathy, made her decidedly ef
fective. Through the trying third act,
where she comes to Captalo Smith's apart
ments at night to nek her husband's par
don for her hitaljand. Miss Perry made a
deep Impression, but was better yet In tho
final scene where she says good-bye In sor
row to Joe Brooks.
Bcott Hlggins Is well cast physically as
the old North Pacific sealer, who has
worked into the presidency of the East At
lantic Steamship company. Higglns has a
thankful part, of which he makes the most.
The character of James Smith Is also a
grateful one and it Is in tho capable hands
of Albert Brown. Mrs. Harris, mother of
Emma Brooks, Is the one character In the
play which Is not true to life because of Its
exaggeration. IJose Snyder subdued this
somewhat and was accordingly In like
measure successful. Pauline Darling and

the nose, pains above the eyes, irritation of the throat, sometimes slight
fever, and a general feeling, of weakness and ill health. Even the lungs
become affected by the continual passage of impure blood through them, and
tbtre is danger of consumption if the disease is allowed to remain in the
system. S. S. S. cures Catarrh because it purifies the blood. It goes into
the circulation and removes every parti -le of the catarrhal matter, making
this vital fluid pure, rich and healthy. Then the linflamed membranes begin
to heal, every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and health
restored, S. S. S. rids the system of catarrh bv attacking the trouble at .its
head and entirely removing the cause frotn the blood, thus making a perma
nent and lasting cure. S. S. S. is made entirely from health-giving roots,
herbs and barks, and for this reason is an especially safe and desirable medicine.

Archibald Claverlng Gunther wrote some
bully stories hack In the ie. and "Mr.
Barnes of New York" was nno of them.
Out of the story an equally entertaining
melodrama was made, und It is being off
ered in a manner that can not fall to please
any who go to the Burwood this week. The
story ' Is that of an American who waa
simply knocking about the world trying to
kill time and some big game, and who got
himself Involved In a Corskan vendetta,
and a love affair about the same time. It
was just a little hit diaconcerting that he
should fall In love with the sister of the
man who was being hunted to death by a
charming Voting Corsica nness. who had un
wittingly fallen In love herself with the
man all thought she had vowed to slay.
This makes a most complete entanglement
for plot and sub-plot, and Its working out
requires the full time of the five nets of
the play. But these are given so well, with
such well timed action and effect, that the
whole la enjoyable In every moment.
Mr. Grew ia the New York Barnes, who
starts to star in the role of Buttinsky be
cause he thinks he Is doing someone a
favor, and who Is forced then to go
through with It in order to serve his own
ends. It is a part that fits him nicely, and
he gives It snappy life. The nonchalant
way ho has of arranging other people's
affairs regardless of consequences Is sup
posed to be typically American. At any
rate, It las a refreshing quality of humor
about it that makes it very taking, and
Mr. Grew realizes this completely.
Miss Elliott Is seen In still a new light.
Hint of Marina, tho girl who vows ven
detta agaln.Mt the man who Blew her
brother. She is charming as a Corslcan
maiden, and with tho touch of foreign
accent on her words her speech is a
delight. And she is very pretty, loo,
first in her Corslcan costume, then in an
efttinoon dress, then In evening gown
and lastly aa a bride. The part calls for
a considerable range In expression and Is
very well presented.
MIsh Downin Is allowing her excellent
qualitlea as the English girl who falls
In love with Mr. Barnes and makes
friends with the Corslcan glii. It Is a
very attractive role and Miss Downin
