( ommlmlnnrri.
Mayor Dshlman and Colonel Charles E.
Fanning will go to Lincoln wit week,
register m lobbyists and work against Con
gressman Hitchcock's amendment ti the
city charter making membera of the fire
atvd police board elective. This was nu
ll mrltatlveljr announced yesterday by botli
tlie mayor and Colonel Fanning.
Dehlraan and Fanning have talked to ths
members of the Douglas county delegation
to the state legislature and the mayor says
that the majority of the lower house mem
hra from this county are for an appointive
board. All the three senators are for an
elective board aa dictated by Congressman
Hitchcock.
Aa yet no one from Omaha has counseled
with the other members of the legislature
on the proposition, believing that some
dtflnlta action should first be taken by
tiie Douglas county members. The charter
Is expected to come up In the senate the
first of the week and aa soon aa It does,
Mayor Dahlman and Colonel Fanning will
jump en It with both feet and as registered
profeMiofial lobbyists will buttonhole other
statesmen and endeavor to get them to sit
dawn "real hard" on the Douglas county
bunch.
Tane Chan gee After Election.
"I will defy any man to find one line In
the World-Herald, before election, favoring
xn elective fire and police board." said the
mayor yesterday. "The paper was almighty
nllent on the proposition while Mr. Hitch-
ock was a candidate for congress. But
itow look at HI Shouting for an elective
lioard. Who is responsible for the affairs
of this city, the mayor or the newspapers
I say the mayor Is. and therefore the mayor
ought to be given the power to appoint the.
members of the excise board.
"While we are pledged for home rule and
home rule means a fire and police board
appointed by the mayor, still I would rather
have the law remain as It Is and have the
governor appoint, than to have the board
elected."
Colonel Fanning openly declares that Con
gressman Hitchcock has forced the repre
sentatives from this county to work for
an elective board at the dictation of the
breweries.
"This Is Hitchcock's method of repaying
Ms political debts to the breweries which
put him In office again," said Fanning.
"He and they may think that they are do
ing something pretty smart and cute, but
If the breweries keep on meddling they will
disgust the legislature and the first thing
we know we will have state wide prohibi
tion, A switch of five or six votes would
do this very thing."
Fanning; (harsres nnd Faith.
Colonel Fanning denies the report in the
World-Herald that all but two of the house
membera are pledged to an elective board.
He says that they were all pledged for an
appointive board, but that after they got to
Uncoln they all switched but two Pete
Boland and one other. Those who drafted
the state platform of the party construed
home rule to mean an excise board ap
pointed by the mayor, says Colonel Fanning
end other leading Jims, because a plank
calling for an elective board and Introduced
by Edgar Howard of Columbus was tabled
Immediately.
With the mayor and Colonel Fanning at
the capltol aa registered lobbyists against
the elective excise board proposition, the
Jims look for great results, for Fanning is
known as a man possessing ability to get
another to come around to his way of
thinking. This Is sustained by the report
that Fanning got the legislature to strike
out a clause compelling the street railway
to pave for two feet outside Its rails.
Thla recommendation was made by the
charter revision committee. It Is asserted
that after this became known, reptestn
tatlves of the company appeared before the
legislators In one of their conferences and
Informed them quietly, but convincingly,
that If the recommendation was adopted
into law the street railway company would
go Into the paving business on auch a largo
scale that there would be nothing left of
the other contractors. This waa where Fan
ning got busy and due to his efforts, It Is
said, the section was stricken out of the
proposed charter.

The ancients knew the value of charcoal
and administered It In cases of Illness,
especially pertaining to the atomaih. In
England today charcoal poultices are used
for ulcers, bolls, etc.. while some physi

diseases by covering the afflicted akin

Crawford of the police court. And the
Judge issued the decree without even fal

he even smiled before pronouncing sen

said family circle was only a large and
bothersome Bt. Bernard dog whose owner
had already been fined by the Judge for
allowing the animal to run at large to the
danger of citizens, his honor, the Judge,
will not be considered so heartless after all.
In fact, his decision was the only one pos
sible under the circumstances, and, al
though Fido, Bingo, Nero or whatever
happens to be the name of his ranlneehlp,
Is a real nice pet, the affectionate way In
which he scares people with his deep bass

WAGES OF UNION CARPENTERS
Scale Paid In Omaha According; to
Committee of the Local I'nlon
o, 437.
A committee of local union No. 417 of
the Carpenters'' Brotherhood makes the fol
lowing statement relative to wages paid
to members of that craft In Omaha:
"The attention of the union carpenters
was unexpectedly called to a purported
scale of wages published in the Daily News
of January 15, and submitted by the Build
ers' exchange, In which it Is made to ap
pear that the scale of wages of union car
penters for the year 1909 was from 30 cents
to 43 cents per hour, which we desire to
correct, as It Is utterly untrue and mis
leading and we herewith report the wages
hours, etc., that has prevailed In this dis
trict ever since pur movement for a scale
of 50 cents per hour a few years back
Our minimum scale of wages Is, and has
been ever since the movement referred to,
for all able-bodied Journeymen carpenters
as follows: Forty-five cents per hour and
forty-four hours per week. Others working
for less per hour are certainly non-union,
cheap labor that Is foisted upon the public
by contractors, while builders and owners
are charged for competent carpenters all
the way from 50 cents to 11 per hour. When
billa are submitted for settlement the true
facta are that large numbers of our mem
bers have In the last season drawn better
than art centa per hour, and expect to draw
the same or better this year, for the very
good reason that rents, taxes and all other
necessaries of life have been steadily on
the Increase."
DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Week's Development of Business Has
Been Along Conservative
Lines.
NEW TORK, Jan. 23. R. 3. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Uevlew of Trade says:
Development In trade Is along conserva
tive lines. Larger pay rolls In manufactur
ing centers naturally help retail distribu
tion, but this Is still much restricted, though
underlying conditions are firmly maintained
because, of reduced stocks In retailers'
hands. The prospect of a change In the
customs revenue laws naturally curtails op
erations In a number of Important indus
tries, and many enterprises that woukt add
materially to the volume of business are
held in check until there la definite knowl
edge regarding the provisions of theae lews.
Continued low water restricts operation of
some New England paper and other mills.
In the south trade In wholesale lines la
considerably below normal and full resump
tion Is not yet In Sight. The movement of
cotton continues large and prices are firmly
maintained. In the west factories In Im
portant Industries are oneratect short of full
capacity, but additional help Is constantly
employed enlarging the output very grad
ually. Wulet conditions still prevail In Iron and
steel and no transactions of Importance are
reported. Fair orders are reported by some
of the smaller plants, but much of this
business Is said to be through moderate
concessions In prhes. Demand from the
railroads continues unsatisfactory and
heavy lines remain firm. A heavy volume
of new orders Is notet In structural shapes,
expected contracts of liberal size not ma
terializing and conditions In this- division
generally are quiet. Ca-st Iron pipe is the
most active department of the Iron market.
Consumption of copper Is not keeping pace
with the record production and prices are
declining In consequence.
Manufacturers of cotton goods are now
displaying more Independence than for some
lime past, partly owing to the firmness of
raw material, hut principally aa a result of
market Improvement In the China trade.
The export movement to that country since
the beginning of the year has been larger
In extent and covered a wider range of
goods than at any time for the last three
years. In the home market heavy goods
are more active and prices are firm. While
most woolens, except fancy worsteds, have
now been opened the nurnber of buyers
operating Is still small and prices have not
been definitely settled. Yam prices re
mained unchanged, but there is little move
nient. The 'volume of business placed in the Bos
ton market by visiting shoe buyers falls
below expectations, manufacturers In mot
instances demanding advances which whole
salers are unwilling to pav.
BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business la Expanding; Slowly Bat
Steadily.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Bradstreet a says:
Trade is expanding slowly but steadily.
Wholesale and Jobbing lines noting some
good ordera for immediate delivery and
rather more confidence In placing orders
for spring. Conservatism is. however,
noted In many sections and some markets
report a f.-ellng of disappointment at the
rate of progress making. In the leading
industries the tendency Is still toward
gradual resumption, but In few cases is
the output up to a good normal. Cncer
talnty as to tariff changes is still widely
mentioned us a bar to fullest activity, this
being notable, especially in Iron and ateel,
where nreaent demand Is below expecta
tions and in some lines of textiles. Re

HUGHES FAVORS PRIMARIES
New York Governor Makfs Strong
Plea for Direct Nominations.
WOMEN SUFFRAGE IS A FAILURE
Frederick Wood Hectare that In
Colorado, t'tah, Wyomlna and
Idaho It Hoes More
Harm Than Good.
NEW YORK, Jan. a. Before an audience
notable for the diversity of the political
views snd beliefs of those who composed It.
Governor Hughes tonight delivered an ad
drees attacking machine politics and
strongly advocating direct nominations.
The speecn, which was delivered at the
banquet of the Hughes alliance, held in the
grand ball roorc of the Hotel Astor. was
received with marked signs of Approbation
from republicans and democrats alike, the
governor being repeatedly interrupted by
cheers as he made his points.
The governor waa introduced to his hosts
by Henry W. Sackett. who called attention
to the nonpartisan character of the assem
blage by citing the presence, among others,
of Herman Rldder, treasurer of the na
tional democratic committee.
After declaring that the time had come
to call a halt on the practice which made
of our departments of public business
"pleasant pastures for the polltkally
blessed." the : governor urged upon his
hearers "to put hurdles In the way of pri
vate schemes of political manipulators and
make less difficult the play of the disin
terested forces of our public spirited citi
senshlp." Andrew Carnegie, who followed Governor
Hughes In the post prandial oratory, likened
the guest of honor of the evening to George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Women off mar n Full ore.
"Woman suffrage has done more harm
than good In the four states In which it has
been tried t'tah, Colorado, Idaho and
Wyoming." declared Frederick Wood, in an
address before the National League for the
Civic Education of Women here tonight.
Mr. Wood, In support of his conclusion,
read a letter from General W. J. Palmer
of Colorado, in which the latter declared
that woman suffrage has been a failure in
that state.
"The establishment of a Juvenile court
in Colorado Is often pointed out as one of
the benefits of giving women the ballot,"
laid Mr. Wood, "but of the twenty-one
states which have Juvenile courts, nineteen
are states in which women do not vote and
the first In which such courts were started
was Massachusetts, where the women de
clined to take the ballot when it was of
fered them.
"Based upon my personal observations
of the working of equal suffrage In the
four states where it exists, its result In
dicates the ability of the corrupt political
machine to Influence the male vote rather
than any ability on the part of women to
purify politics."
Hat Manufacturers Meet.
For four hours today the board of di
rectors of the Associated Fur and Felt Hat
manufacturers In session at the Knicker
bocker hotel wrestled with the problem
confronting them In the strike of 18.000 men
of the United Hatters of America,
who 1
last week walked out of the sixty factories
owned by members of the employers' or
ganization In the states of New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. An
effort to secure arbitration was made by
R. J. Reagan and James McManus of the
bureau of mediation and arblltatlon of the
New York Department of Labor, who of
fered their services to the manufacturers.
President Samuel Mundhelm of the Manu
facturers' association appointed a commit
tee of three to receive the mediators, whose
proposition was laid on the tabic until the
next meeting of the association as a whole,
which Is called for next Monday, but which
at today's session was Indefinitely post
poned. State Mediator Reagan stated that he
would approach the striking union with
the same offer he made today to the manu
facturers. Job for Jay Gould.
Jay Gould, champion amateur court ten
nis player of the world and son of the mil
lionaire railroad director, George J. Gould,
Is likely to become a probation officer In
a local police court. He has indicated
through a friend that he would like to fill
this position In City Magistrate Finn's
court, and the magistrate today wrote him
a letter saying It would afford him pleas
ure If Mr. Gjuld would take the position,
and asking him to meet and confer with
him regarding the subject on Monday
morning.
RESENTS BEJNG DISTURBED
Man Who Was Sleeping; In Gutter
Puts Ip Fight When He Is
Awakened.
Early last evening Police Surgeon Barbour
wis on his way to the stattun and noticed
a drunken man lying In the gutter at the
corner of Eleventh and Douglas streets.
He assisted the man to his feet and
started with him to the police station,
where a warm place would be provided
in which the man could sleep off his Jag.
The man, who later gave the name of Joe
Burns, Sixteenth and Davenport streets,
resented having his slumbers disturbed,
however, and made a vicious swing at hU
benefactor. The doctor blocked the lead
and landed with his right, knocking Hit
man through the open door of a saloon on
the corner. Still not satisfied, Burns again
rushed for his Good Samaritan and again
the medtcal man landed, this time catching
him on the point of the Jaw and putting
him to the ropes, which in this case were
represented by a peanut vending machine,
which was knocked to the floor and broken.
By this tinia the bartender and a spec
tator pounced on Burns and held him until
the station could be notified. fcVrgeant
Cook responded and when he got his
muscular hand on Burns" collar the latter
decided he' had fought enough and went
quietly to the station, where he was locked
up.
In police court this morning Judge Craw
ford thought that Burns would be better
off If he went to work, so discharged him.

stages of sochil development. Beginning
with the conditions existing In the times
and places when nomadic life prevailed,

of certain women among both these peoples
who took a prominent part In their history.
The January Review of Reviews Is note
worthy for Its treatment of topics related to

child in the public schools should read theae
articles. There are several capital short
stories. "The Bond," by Marion Hamilton

GIVES PICTURE TO I1ADLEY
Interesting Scene in Rate Hearing at
Kansas City.
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER CARTOON
Railroad Attorney Presents Copy to
Missouri Governor Amid Cheers
from Crowds in Court
Room.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Jan. 23. An unusual
incident took place in the I'nited States
district court here Friday when Gardiner
Lathrop, general solicitor of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway presented to
Oovernor Herbert S. Hadley a large Blzed
i,ifinr rf "The Mvsteilous Stranger," the I
gift of John T. McCutcheon, illustrator for
the Chicago Tribune.
The presentation was made Just after
Governor Hadley had concluded his argu
ment before Judge Smith McPherson of
the cases of the eighteen Missouri rail
roads that are fighting the enforcement
of the Missouri 2-cent and maximum freight
rate laws. "The Mysterious Stranger," a
creation of Mr. McCutcheon. made Its first
appearance in print In 19m. when Missouri
for the first time in thirty years cast Its
electoral vote for a republican candidate
for president. Governor Hadley, who re
cently was Inaugurated, is the first repub
lican governor In Missouri In thirty years.
When Mr. Lathrop took the picture to
the Judges bench and after showing It to
the court, turned It towards the over
crowded court room, cheers broke out and
the spectators clapped their ban' and
continued for nearly a minute.
Hadley Deeply Moved.
Visibly affected, Governor Hadley arose
and accepted the picture. He said:
"It Is the source of the greatest grati
fication that after four years of service
for the people as attorney general they
thought I had 'made good' enough to make
me their governor. I may represent the
party at whose head standa the "mys
terious stranger," but my administration
as governor will not be an administration
for the 'mysterious stranger.' but an ad
ministration for Missourlans."
Judge O. M. Spencer of Bt. Joseph, Mo.,
followed Mr. Hadley. He said if there had
to be a "mysterious stranger" in the Mis
sour) state house he was glad It was Her
bert Hadley.
"Did you vote for him?" Inquired Judge
McPherson.
"I did not," answered Judge Spencer.
"Then you are like Andrew Carnegie and
free trade." said the Judge. "You're for
It after It no longer affects you."
"I want to soy." concluded Judge Bpen
cer. "thst we'll take care of the 'mysterious
stranger' next time."
Judge McPherson said that It was a
pleasure to Inject a little life Into such a
bard case. He said the railroad rate case
had been a "man killer." He knew there
aould be more or less disappointment, no
matter how his final decision read, and
undoubtedly criticism. He said it was

after a great deal of thought that he de
cided to try the cases. The Judge asserted
that the testimony of the railroad men
who had come before the court and who
for the most part were men who had begun
j at the bottom of the business ladder, had
i proved a great object lesson to him. He
I added It was brought home more so than
ever today when Governor Hadley, a man
who had started from the lowest rung,
appeared ns Missouri's chief executive.
BUSINESS MEN IN PROTEST
San Kranrlsco Merchants .Object
Proposed Anti-Jap Legisla
tion In California.
to
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 23-A strong pro
test ngulnst nntl-Japanese legislation has
been sent to the members of both houses
by the San Francisco business men who
recently returned from an extended visit
to Japan at the invitation of various Japan
ese commercial organizations. The protest
Is conveyed In a letter addressed to the
president of the senate, speaker of the
house and to all members of both houses
and Is signed by. the eight San Francisco
men who made the Transpacific trip. The
letter says:
"We are strongly of the opinion thst the
emperor and the government officials in
Japan are acting In absolute good faith re
garding the restriction of Japanese Immi
gration to the Cnlted States.
"We firmly believe that any action by
the legislature which Is directed at the
Japanese residents of this state will be
taken as an affront by the entire Japanese
nation.
"The oriental trade passing through the
ports of this state has assumed large pro
portions and Is likely to be seriously crip
pled by such proposed action."

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23 "Is the situation'
In California as serious as would ipptar
from the published dispatches and the ac
tivity of the administration In endeavoring'
to suppress the anti-Japanese legislation?"
Senator Flint of California was asked to
day. "Tee and no," replied 8enator Flint, re
flectively. "I don't think there is any dnii-,
ger of a break with Japan at the p:ee :t
time. Neither do I think that any lioitjl.
legislation will be passed now by our legis
lature, but the question Is one that will
have to be dealt with In the future. There
Is no doubt that Japanese are still cr.niluif.
to this country in large numbers. 1 know
that many people are giving out figures ).
prove the contrary, but the Japanese are
there and their number Is growing."
Senator Knox, who Is to be secretary .f
stats In Mr. Taft's cabinet. Is concerning
himself with the Japanese situation with i
view to becoming thotoughly conversant
with the subject.
