A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: FEBRUARY 7, 190D. nOT ANSWER TO SWALLOW Preiident of Eureka Manufacturing Company Object to Receivership. AITOBEWS' STRANGE STORY TRUE Senator Ransom of Omaha, Addresses the Lincoln Commercial CI ah. Commending It for Its Activities. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb.. Feb. . (Special.) Charges of a sensational natuie are mads by John A. Kaufman In an affidavit filed In distrkt court today In support of a mo tion resisting the application of C. If. Swallow for the appointment of a receiver for tiis .Eureka Manufacturing company. Mr. Kaufman, who Is secretary and treas urer of the company, avers that there Is no lcgnl . ground for the appointment of a ret elver; that all of the litigation and legal dilfrtiutrs recited by Swallow In his peti tion were lue to Swallow's mismanagement of the company's business; accuses him and F. V. Brown, sr., mayor of Lincoln, of having attempted to unload an insolv ent concern on the company, and with having threatened to bring the suit for the appointment of a receiver when he was removed as president and manager. Complaints Being Redressed. In the hearing of Callaway before Rail way Commissioners iWlnnett and Cowglll on Friday, it was made evident that since the people living on the Union Pacific's K a ney-Callaway branch began filing com plaints of the motor service on that lino the accommodations have been noticeably bettered by the company. Commissioner yvinm tt, who returned thlo morning, said he thought that the Union Pacific officials would proceed to remedy the remaining unsatisfactory conditions without waiting fur an ord?r. All the transportation facilities the people on that, line have had are furnished by a gasoline motor car carrying an express and baggage trailer and a combination freight .and passenger train operated by ,1 earn power. The line Is sixty-six miles In length and passes through ten towns be tween Callaway and Kearney. The seating capacity of the gasoline car up to the last of December was only forty. It was In creased at that time to fifty-four. The com bination lar carries a somewhat less numbe:'. , The L'umplittnls made by patrons were that thp curs do not run regularly, that they are crowded nnd some passengers have to stand, that thero Is no division for a somklng. compartment, that only one toi let Is provided for both sexes and that heat has been lacking. ' Andrews Story Trae. Every word of the strange story told the police yesterday by Dick Andrews, the Chicago crook, is believed to be true. New evidence Is received at every turn ccroboratlng the different details of his narrative.- The Lincoln police expect to hold htm for several days until his ca reer can be fully Investigated. Though no doubt la expressed of the verity of his tale the authorities are Inclined to think some facts . may be uncovered which ho failed ta relate.' . The latest confirmation of a portion of Andrews' story, following the wire yester day afternoon from the warden of tho Jollet penitentiary that he la wanted there for violation of parole,'-vaa received from two' merchants of Gllead. Neb., where An drews said he had robbed a couple of business houses. Detective Malone re ceived atelephone communication from the proprietor of a general merchandise store there, stating thst that place had been entered Mcnday night and robbed of thrte dosen pocket knives, several rasors and" a number of miscellaneous articles. The owner of a Jewelry store also supplied the Information that he had lost a number of pieces of Jewelry the same night, amrngthem being three watches. Detec tive Malone said this morning he had al ready iacovqred part of this property: , ' Hansom Talks to Commercial Clab. Senator Frank T. Ransom of Omaha was speaker today at the Saturday noon lunch con of 'the Commercial club. His subject was "The Markets of Nebraska." Mr. Ran som complimented the club on Its activity and the. city-on Its progress and prosper ity. He gave a short' sketch of the rise and development of the live stock markets at' South Omaha. These were started In 1ns4, on a ' Douglas county farm, and In twenty-five years have grown to Immense proportions. le gave some statistics show lng what a large amount of money was In vested and .Uie money represented by the sheep, cattle, hogs and horses handled. , These .nearby markets, he contended, meant many millions to the farmers of the state: Not only did they mean good prices for live stock, but they meant a place where this stock could in times of panic be turned into ready cash. The railroads seem to think that their Interest lies In making markets farther east, and to this end they manipulate rates that are a distinct disad vantage to the markets along the Missouri rlwri They want to make as long a haul as possible, and they want to haul back to FOR Lincoln Day Portraits of Lincoln, in black and white and colors at '25c, 50c, $1.00 and up to $f)0, either for decorating or framing; also Statuar ies of Lincoln.

OOSPE CO. 1513 Douglas St. R thr producers here as much of tho finished product as they can get. He .Instanced tho rate on .cattle from the northwest to South Omaha. Mort cattle are shipped out of Belle Fourcho than any one station In the world. The rata on cattle from thero to South Omaha, 100 miles. Is f cents; tho rate from the river to Chicago, (00 miles. Is only a third as much, 12 cents. Tho aim of the railroads has been to transfer tho mar kets to Chicago and Buffalo, and against this effort the Missouri river msrkets have had to contend. Advantage of Nearby Market. The advantage to tho producer of a nearby market la great. It la to his in terest that he does not go too far for a market, since then ho Is going to . an other man's market, and suffers In the competition that . ensues. It Is of ad vantage to the producer, whether he be engaged In grain raising, wool raising or cattle raising to have a market near home, where his stock may be shipped, held and later marketed at times when there is no congestion In the great mar kets of tho world. A nearby market Is convenient, too. It means that he can go and come without much expense and with less risk to life and to his cargo, and at the nearby market he gets as good a price as further east. Mr. Ransom said that It was to the In terest of Nebraska farmers that they have at least three markets auch as are furnished by South Omaha, St Joseph and Sioux City, because it means better prices, and a freedom of choice that pre vents glutting at any one point at any one time. The speaker felt sure that 13,000,000 had been saved to tho wool growers of the west by the establishment of a wool market In Omaha. This big storage warehouse there had been utilized to feed the Boston mar ket, and the result was to compel the Bos ton men to come west to buy at a higher pries instesd of making the grower ship east to take whatever price he could get In a full market. The same thing was true of the grain business. Mr. Ransom congratulated Lincoln upon the fact that she had a great market for Information In her great State university, and while Omaha was looking after the material welfare of the state Lincoln was furnished spiritual blessings. He closed by urging closer co-operation between Omaha and Lancaster county In those things that go to make up the welfare of the state at large. , Governor to Qelt Talking;. After going to Omaha on Monday to fill a speaking date Governor Shallenberger In tends to accept no more Invitations taking him away from Lincoln until the end of the legislative session. . The governor has re solved also that ha cannot make any local engagements where the occasion demanfla anything more than his presence or an In formal brief address. New Home for Commercial Clab. At the Saturday noon luncheon of the Commercial club today President Selleck made the announcement that the proposed new . club house was assured. For some weeks a paper has been In circulation, the signers to which agreed to pay $250 each into a fund for the building of a permanent home. .It was agreed at the start that no less than laO.000 would be necessary for this project. This meant that ano members must sign. At noon today there were 202 sig natures. Deflator Mayor's Power. The mayor, of a city has no power to suspend the operation of any ordinance which contains no provision empowering him to do so. This is the opinion of the court expressed In the case of James . E. Pulver, which comes from Kearney county. Pulvor was a saloon-keeper at Mlnden, where tho ordinance provided that liquor diapsnjjarie should closo at IX o'clock. His place was found open,at 11:16 one night and tie was. arrested and fined, later appealing to the supremo court. He had two defenses. Tho first was t that the mayor had given all the saloons permission to remain open until midnight upon tho date of tho alleged offense. . On this the holding of tho court was as above. ' Tho other defense was that ha was not In town upon the date of tho Infraction of the ordinance, tho saloon being in charge of his son, who supposed that tho permission of the mayor was all that waa necessary. The defendant knew nothing about the mat ter until later. As to this proposition the court says that where it Is shown that the violation Is by an agent It Is not neces sary to show guilty intent on his part, such a prosecution being In the nature of a civil action to collect tho penalty. The supreme court affirmed this morn ing the decision of the lower court In the Kennlson case. Kennlson waa sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-three years for the murder of Sam Cox at.Minatare. What Pollen Jadge Mar Do. ' The police Judge of a city' cad only sit ac an examining magistrate In cases where the penalty for the violation of a statute, ordinance or excise rule exceeds $100. This la the holding of the court in the case of the state against William' T. Dudgeon, which originated In this city. Dudgeon Is a druggist and was charged with keeping liquors for the purpose of unlawful sale. A search warrant was sworn out and a quan tity of liquor seised. He was tried In police court and fined, appealing from there to the district court. There he entered a plea In abatement, contending that the police court had only Justice of the peace Juris diction In a case where the ifne prescribed waa over 1100 and could only sit as an ex amining magistrate. This plea waa sus tained and the case dismissed. The city legal department, which was prosecuting tho case, appealed to the supreme court, where the action of the district court was affirmed. The excise rule which Dudgeon was charged with violating prescribed a maximum fine of 2300. Blow for Lincoln Resorts. The supreme court today dealt a telling blow to Ninth street resorts in Lincoln, against which property owners have been waging a fight for years, la a decision handed down this nprnlng it sustained the district court in closing by Injunction the resort of Rose Klrkwood, located on the borders of the proscribed district. The Injunction waa secured by a property owner across the street from tho placa on the ground It was a nuisance. Tho district court sustained the injunction and an appeal was taken to the supreme court. The court upholds the lomr court. In the opinion the supreme court ssys the place is a nuisance and It does not mat ter whether it as there before the com plaining property owner located in the neighborhood or not. The fact that the po lice have allowed It to run and that it is located in the designated district does not save It, according to the court. Indian Attorney Wins. Hiram Chase, ths Indian candidate for county attorney of Thurston county who won In the last election over Waldo E. Whltcomb, has been declared by the court entitled to the orfics. The court holds the election was fairly conducted and that tho plaintiff, Whltcomb, Is estopped from questioning the validity of the election because of his advice to the election board and his apparent participation In their act of changing the place of election. , The county of Cass la given the right to further prosecute its claim against ihe county of Sarpy for half tho expense of repairing tho Platte River bridge be tween the two counties, the court holding I tho trial court erred in sustaining an objection to Jurisdiction. The repairs were made by Cass county, with the Sarpy county board refusing to enter .Into the Joint contract. The fourth appearance of the case of John Boeaen against the Omaha at Council Bluffs Street Railway company has resulted in the affirmation of the Judgment of the district court of Douglas county In which Boeaen received Judgment for personal In juries.' - Bocks Will Caso Decided. In tho Boars will case, which has been In the courts for over ten years, Mrs. John C. Wharton la given Judgment for a share of the estate of George Boggs, amounting to 16.400 a year since 1896 without Interest. In a decision In the rase of J. McMulley against tho city of Omsha covering the right of the city to license drays and take vehicles, and to fix their oompensa'.lon, the supremo court holds that Plaintiff Mc Mulley was not engaged In the business of soliciting this work from all persons who might hire him. but was merely In the work as a private owner of vehicles and contracted for their use, hence the city has no right to fix his charges. CROWD AT OSSENKOP TRIAL Marder Case at Plattsmonth Is Being Bitterly Contested. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Feb. 6.-(Special.) The court room was crowded again today by those Interested In the trial of Fred Os senkop for tho killing of Charles Byrne In Kagle September 16. The case Is being bitterly contested at each point along the line in the examination of the witnesses and as to many points of law and It sometimes becomes necessary for Judge H. D. Travis to "call down" the attorneys. There have been between forty and fifty witnesses supoenaed and it is believed that the trial will consume most of the time of the district court during tho coming' week. Attorney T. J. Doyle of Lincoln has been employed by Mrs. Charles Byrne, the widow, to assist In the prosecution of Fred Ossenkop. The testimony of the witnesses thus far all agree that Ossenkop Overtook .Byrne on the sidewalk in the evening and caught hold of him and forced him to the ground, Ossenkop being on top and struck him In the face several severe blows with his fist and then got up and kicked him on his face and head several times and that Byrno did not attempt to defend himself In any way. The body was picked up and placed on the sidewalk, but Byrne did not say a word and passed away within a few minutes. From the witnesses It Is learned that Charles Byrne hauled three loads of grain from his home to another town that day and Uuen went to his brother's to get a seeder. His brother informed him that it was at Eagle, so he drove there. After his arrival In the afternoon he waa sur prised to find so many of his friends and learned for the first time of the fraternal picnic. He was starting to get his team when the tragedy occurred. It seems that he had previously sold some grain to the father of Fred Ossenkop and for some reason Ossenkop refused to pay htm In full. Byrne brought suit and collected the money. Two brothers nnd a brother-in-law were present when the murder was committed. Fred Ossenkop Is given his freedom during the trial and Is stopping at the Hotel Perkins.

The land must be suitable for gardening and small farming, and only the best sites would be considered.

Rehearing; la Fraternal Snlt. CENTRAL CITY. Neb.. Feb. .-(Speclal.) Attorney J. C. Martin received word Fri day that action favorable to his client had been taken by the supreme court In the case of Martha A. Crltes against tho Modern Woodmen of America, pending on a motion for a rehearing. Clay Crltes, who was employed on the B. A M. as a brakeman, was Injured while his train was doing some switching at Marquette on October 6, 1906, and died a few hours after receiving his Injuries. He held a policy for 21,000 In the Woodmen, but payment upon ths policy wss refused upon the grounds that at the time of his death he wss engsging In an occupation forbidden by the Insurance rules of the order. His wid ow, Martha Crltes, brought suit, and at ths May term of the district court In 1907 was granted a verdict for the amount of her husband's policy. The case was ap pealed and last September the supreme court reversed the decision of the lower court. Attorney Martin at once filed a mo tion for a rehearing, and this has Just been granted. The contention of Mrs. Crltes Is that the regulation prohibiting policies be ing In force In favor offnen employed. In railroading and other dangerous occupation was not enacted by the lodge until after Mr. Crltes had taken out his policy, and that notice of the adoption of such a rule had not been filed with the state auditor or adopted by the Nebraska branch at the time of Mr. Crltes' death, and that the lodge had continued to re ceive his premiums when the officers knew that he waa engaged in railroading. tndenta Pay for Prank.

Tho passage by the lower house of the Nevada legislature of an anti Japanese resolution was received here with remarkable indifference. The publication of the text of the resolution aroused ac tive resentment only In the columns of the second rate press.

Foreign Minister Komura, in addressing the House . of Lords today repeated ver batim tho speech he made in the Diet a few day ago. His remarks caused no dis cussion.

The leading newspapers today comment favorably on the present aspect of the situation. The Asahl says that notwith standing many misunderstandings the rela tions of America and Japan remain un impaired. The Hochl, one of the papers whloh has most bitterly denounced the ac tion of the California legislature, congratu lates Japan on tho maintenance of good relations with the United States and says that it would be a matter for deep regret If the action of a minority of the people of California should cripple the commer cial and diplomatic relations of the two countries. The Hochi declares that It is evident the present disturbance is only temporary. Masses Show Resentment, Notwithstanding the improved tone of tho Out -o! -Town Merchants and Small Dealers Attention!
