Coaaty Attorney Worried.
County Attorney Tyrrell hss received a
threatening letter from alleged Black Hand
sources If he does not quit pushing his
crusade to close the resorts In the red light
district. According to a warning letter re
ceived this morning he Is slsted for doom
February 30, only five days off.
For a msn who is doomed to die-in such
a tragic manner and in Much a brief time,
Mr. Tyrrell maintains a remarkably cheer
ful demeanor, lie characterises the letter
as the production of some crank and gives
It little consideration, except to run the
Writer of it down and punish him, if pos
sible, for a screed that briDgs him In bad
with, uncle' Sam.. . ..1
The letter, which was sent to Mr. Tyrrell
In care of the police station and was evi
dently mailed at the postofflce, runs as
follows:
LINCOLN, Nebs. Feb. 33 1908. Mr. Tyr
rell Protector of unjust. If you continue
to close those houte We a Black hand
society will certainly put you where you
will stop prosecuting, it was put In our
hand Febr la By certain people and Busi
ness people of this city and if you dont you
look for your doom this month. You may
taka this For a fake letter. Hut your end
la far off.

A skull and crossbones roughly drswn
with a lead pencil on the letter is Intended
to convey special emphasis to the threats
of death. About the courthouse a great
deal of fun has been extrscted over the
threatening letter. Mr. Tyrrell says that
this Is not the first time he hss been
warned to desist certain prosecutions In
his capacity as a public prosecutor. He
laughingly declared that he had no fear of
the black hand or any other alleged as

"I do not know what my future worfc Is
to be," said Charles E. Magoon, late pro
visions! governor of Cua, and former gov
ernor of the Panama canal sone, today. "1
have not seen Judge Taft since my return
from the island, but the opinion In Wash
ington seems to be that I am to go the
Philippines for a period."
Judge Magoon stated that he had heard
and read a good deal which connected him
by way of rumor with a portfolio In the
Taft cabinet, but had no Intimation from
the president-elect that anything of the
kind was contemplated. The Philippine
berth Is not exactly to the liking of the
man who haa made good at the head of
tha governments of Panama and Cuba,
but will be accepted If tendered.
Judge Magoon arrived in the city yester
day and la stopping at the Lincoln hotel.
He will remain here until Wedensday,
when he will go to New 'York and will be
in Washington for the inauguration. H
will then erturn to Lincoln, where he will
remain until pill, when he will leave for a
six months' tour of Kuiope.
"I have not had a vacation for five
years," said Governor Msgoon, "and 1 am
qulta ready for a good rest. When I return
I w ill be ready for' whatever work Is laid
out for me.

one. That Is something no one csn snsw;r.
The troubles ot all Latin republics have
s risen from racial characteristics. These
characteristics csnnot, . of course, be
changed by sdminlstering a government
for two snd one-half years. I am, bow
ever, very optimistic in regard to the
Cuban people and their government. The
citisens are anxious to preserve their in
dependent government snd their sover
eignty as a nation snd I think thst they
will make gresl efforts to sdjust such dif
ficulties ss may arise. I am greatly pleased
to note that those which have arisen since
the government was returned to their
hands have been satisfactorily settled.
"The grestest danger which all Latin
republics encounter Is In connection
with the elections. These ere grestly
feared by those at the head of the gov
ernments, all of them fearing that an
election cannot be pulled oft without trou
ble. This very apprehension of danger Is
responsible for a great deal of It. The
administration uses its armed men to see
that no wrong Is done, snd the opposition
alao has out forces to make certain that it
Is fairly treated. A clash Is almost cer
tain. The Cubans have now seen two
elections where all officers were elected.
Both ot these were as fair and legal as tho
elections ot any country. There was also
lutely no military or police Interference
and even' thing was as orderly as in the
United States.
"The Cubans have seen two of these
elections snd their fesrs have been greatly
dissipated; they are much encouraged. For
myself I would ssy thst the Cuban gov
ernment would run along very nicely until
the next presidential election, which will
occur In about five eurs. Thst will be
the first dangerous period. I have great
hopes that the people will profit by the
example which has been set for them,
however, and that they will go through
the crisis without sny serious trouble."

two streams to play upon the fire.

LORD BERESFORD TO RETIRE
Rearrangement of I hannrl Fleet Will
rroioke Dlscnselon In Great
Britain,
LONDON, Feb. 15. It was announced
by the Admiralty tonight that Admiral
Lord Charles Bcrefcford, commander-Inch
lef of the channel fleet, will vacate
his command on March 23. Tho fleet
then will disappear as the chief fighting
unit of tho first lino of Great Britain's
naval force. Henceforth the more Im
portant vessels of . the channel fleet, un
der tho command of Vice Admiral Sir
Archibald Berkeley Milne, now second in
command In the channel fleet, will form
tho second division of the main fleet,
under supreme command of Vice Admiral
Sir AVilliam II. May, second lord of the
Admiralty.
It Is understood that this means 1 lie
practical retirement of Admiral Sir
Charles Berenford and that ho will be
placed on half pay. In the ordinary
courso Lord Charles would have held the
channel fleet command for another year
and would have retired under the age
limit In 1911, but tho government de
sired to group all the newest and best
HhipH tinder Vlco Admiral May's command
for honi? defense.
The action of the government, however.
In thus ' prematurely retiring Bercsford
is likely to arouse again the acrimonious
discussions so frequently associated with
his name.
