At leaat. Police Judge Crawford made that

Hla wife and ateo-chlldren appeared
against him, but they said that his talk

rather than of price. Then, again, tha in

The Globe hotel, a three-story frame
building on the northeast corner of Ninth

destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock this morn
ing and only the prompt work of the fire
department prevented a dlsastroua blase.

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

being' costly.
The hotel la one of tha landmarks of that

forty years ago. It waa formerly known

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.
