At leaat. Police Judge Crawford made that ruling Friday morning, when W. H. Polly of 1017 South Eleventh street waa arraigned. Hla wife and ateo-chlldren appeared against him, but they said that his talk waa all that waa disturbing, so the Judge discharged Polly with the remark that the caae waa one for a divorce court. ataraajr Wight marks me ciose of a re markable piano sale, which has been In progress at the Bennett company'a ware rooms since the 1th lr.st. The unique fea ture of thla sale has been that the Induce ment offered waa a reduction of terms rather than of price. Then, again, tha in atrumenta offered are not tha kind usually found In special sales. Pianos of such prominence aa those handled by the Ben nett company have a standard value all over the United Btatee, and tha opportun ity to secure an instrument of this charac ter on' such extremely favorable conditions was evidently eonaldeied to be too good to be passed by, judging by the amount of business reported. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Polish People Deny Being Victims of Sunday' Riot. MOEE SOBER FEELING PREVAILS JAPANESE ROUTED BY FIRE pld Globe Hetel, 2 lata Leavci ' worth, Nsrrewlr Eaeaaes Deatraettoa. The Globe hotel, a three-story frame building on the northeast corner of Ninth and Leavenworth streets, came near being destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock this morn ing and only the prompt work of the fire department prevented a dlsastroua blase. Charlie Kumlta, a Japanese, conducts the hotel, which la patronised largely by men of bis race. Tbe riresunea irom a mtcnen on the second floor and burned through to' the roof, but It la thought the damage will not reach more than two. A five-gallon can of gasoline waa thrown from an upper room to tha 'treat Just before 'the flames reached It. gome of the Japanese roomers first dis covered the fire and attempted to extinguish the blase without calling out the flra de partment, but the experiment came near being' costly. The hotel la one of tha landmarks of that part ot- the city, having been built almost forty years ago. It waa formerly known aa tha Southern hotel and waa a well known hotel during the '70s. Mayor Koatsky Voices Semtlmeat that City Cannot Afford Any More Sack Notoriety Work of Repair Now Going On. Tha Polish aocletlea of South Omaha are out after the parties responsible for the report that the men of that nationality had been mistaken for Greeks and had been subjected to assaults during the recent trouble In South Omaha. The point of bitterest resentment Is that the Poles should be mistaken for Greeks. The matter of being assaulted is counted a phase of the affair which the Poles themselves can provide against. Tha Polish people of South Omaha are very proud of their na tionality and the mistake of calling Lithu anians, Roumanions, Austrlana, Belgians or any other European people Polish Is resented. Wednesday a committee of Poles composed of J. M. Urbanskl, T. Koaiol, F. Koslckl. Pete Woslniak. W. Semlak and J.- F. Mader made the rounds ot all the papera of the city and took palna to Inform them that no Polish people were Injured In last Sunday'a riot, and that Pollen peo ple could never be mistaken for Greeks by anyone. They wanted It understood that there waa no association between the two. They declared that the tour men at tended to by Dr. A. H. Koenlg were not Polea although aald to be auch. Nor are the Poles the only people who are anxious to disclaim any and all con nection with the unsavory eventa of last Sunday, Mrs. J. Humpal, who waa de scribed as the old womsn who guarded the walk in front of her hotel at ISM M atreet and who hung out an American flag aa a sign of her loyalty, aald that ahe objected to being called old and tn fact waa not such. She also denied being on tha walk, although ahe aald some one might have been there aa aome women ot advanced years lived on either side of the Humpal property. As to two Greeks being In the hotel, ahe also entered a flat denial, saying she never bad rented rooms to Greeks nor kept them aa boarders. The only point of truth she says is the flag which on the advice of a boarder she bung on the front porch. "South Omaha people are ashamed of the whole affair." aald Mayor Koutaky. "It la not to be wondered at that they deny every public atatement with which their namea are connected. It Is likely that some state ments have been overdrawn, but the city can afford no more of thla kind of affairs." The work of repairing damaged bulldlnga continued yesterday. Many of the placea have been boarded up temporarily. The Greeka continue to haul their personal property to Omaha under the direct protec tion of the police. Letcher Held for Aasaalt. Jamea Letcher waa arraigned and given preliminary hearing before Judge Calla nan yesterday for assault and battery with Intent to kill. He is charged with beating Maud Ford In a merciless manner. The room was found spattered with blood. The woman's clothing was saturated with blood and her flesh a mass of bruises. She was just able to be out for the first time when she appeared against him yesterday after noon. He waived preliminary examination and Judge Callanan bound him over to the district court under tSCO bonds. With the Slek. It is reported that James Cunningham, Twenty-fourth and O streets. Is st the point of death from a complication . of diseases. The most dangerous affliction la pneumonia. He waa aald to be dying last night. Cunningham la well known In South Omaha. He has been a barber with 8. C. Shrlgley for a number of yeara. Ha was counted a good fellow by a very large circle of friends, who are waiting anxiously In hope of aome Improvement. Joe Koutsky of the firm of Koutsky Bros., who underwent an operation In tha South Omaha hospital nearly a week ago, la aald to be improving rapidly and will soon be well enough to return to his home. Winters Makes Statement. Attorney 8. L. Winters desires to make the following public explanation of a case reported to have been lost to the city of South Omaha by default. Ha asys: Within the laat few days several com ments have appeared In the dally news papers with reference to a Judgment alleged to have been obtained by default against the city of South Omaha In favor of the National Construction company, and I de sire to correct said statement. The facta are that this case was set by the county Judge the Monday before judgment was obtained, but Mr. Parks of the construction company waa In Lincoln, so his attorney Informed the court, and the court himself announced that he could not take the case up as he had a criminal case aet for that morning and aa his time wss taken up tor the full week. The case was then paasod, but no definite date aet for trial, which meant that It would go over until the next term of court but on the last day of this same term of court the attorney for the National Construction company appeared and Informed the court that It had been aet for that day, although the court had no record of the case having been set nor did It appear In the Dally Record, pub lished for the Information ot attorneys, and In which appears all case set for trial. The county Judge, however, heard the evi dence of the National Construction com pany and Informed me afterwards that he did not Intend to enter Judgment until he telephoned me, but the clerk of the court entered the formal Judgment. The next day the judgment appeared In the Dally Record and I Immediately went to Omaha to aee the county Judge about' the matter and he told me that he did not Intend to enter judgment, and on being told that he had, he Instructed the clerk to set aside the Judgment, but we then discovered that It was out of term time and under the law the Judge could not make auch an entry In va cation, ao he told me to make an applica tion and he would aet aside the Judgment the first day of the next term. I then got the attorney for the plaintiff over the tele phone and told him I waa going to mske such an application and he thereafter agreed to allow the Judgment to be aet aside and Instructed the clerk to set the Judg ment aside on the first dsy of the next term. That these are the facta can easily be ascertained by Inquiring of either the county judge or the clerk of hla court. There waa no default tn thla case; In fact, there were two answers on file and the Judgment waa rendered through a mistake on the part of the attorney for plaintiff and not on the part of the city attorney of South Omaha. I, therefore, ask that this communication be given the same publicity that the former commenta were given. Karel Keplets. Karel Kopietx, aged 93 years, father of J. H. Koplets died Friday morning at Mercy hospital In Council Bluffs. He waa a resi dent of Everest, Kan., and was In South Omaha visiting his son. The man was most vigorous until his last Illness and hla body waa robust In appearance. Hia aon, J. H. Koplets. Is one of the most prominent busi ness men of the city. He Is In the real estate business at Twenty-fourth and M atreets. The funeral of the father will be hPld from the residence, 236 North Twenty second street. Saturday morning. Tha hour is fixed at 7:16 a. m. The service wUl be at St Agnes' church and the body will be sent to Everest. Kan., tha home of Mr. Karel Koplets, for burial. Magle City Goasln. Mrs. E.
