MAY BRAY TWICE INDICTED
Both Grow Out of Swindling Cast
Lake Hotel Keeper.
OTHER VICTIMS ASKED TO COME
Authorities Hope to Secure a Large
amber of Indictments Against
lllm In the State
Court.
The federal grand Jury reported two In
dictments yesterday afternoon against J.
C. May bray, alleged head of the "swind
ling syndicate" which operated so suc
cessfully In Council Bluffs last yesr and
then transferred the scene of Its activities
to Little Rock, Ark. Both Indictments are
on charges of using the malls to defraud
and Judge Smith McPherson fixed the ball
at 115,000 under, each Indictment.
Both Indictments are based. It Is said, on
charges preferred- by Samuel Sutor, the
Cass Iakr, Minn., hotel man, who con
tributed 15.000 to help .swell the treasury
of the gang of bunco artists.
Maybray Is also under Indictment in the
state court here on a charge of conspiracy
In connection with the caae of Banker
Bellew of Princeton, Mo., who was sep
arated, through the machinations of the
gang, from a bank roll containing 0,000
at a fake horse race.
It was said yesterday that Sutor In
tended remaining in Council Bluffs until
next week In order to go before the dis
trict court grand Jury." which convenes
Tuesday. If the plans of Postofflca In
spector Swenson are carried out It la likely
that a long list of Indictments will be re
turned by the district court grand Jury
against Maybray and his associates. Yes
terday Mr. Swenson sent letters to per
sons whose names appear In the list of
"Mikes" fount among Maybray'a papers
in the trunka secured by- the federal offi
cers' at XJttle Rock. The letter Invite
these "victims" to coma to Council Bluffs
and testify before the district grand Jury,
which convenes next Tuesday. Mr. Swen
son states In these letters that he will do
all In his power to assist In obtaining the
punishment of the swindlers and recover
the money lost by the victims.
"Even though Maybray Is convicted in
the federal court," said Mr. Swenson, "the
punishment that can be meted out to him
will be wholly inadequate. I believe, how
ever, that we can get forty men out of
the large number, believed to have been
buncoed by Maybray and hla accomplices
In this city last year' to come here and
testify before the grand Jury In the state
court. If this proves to be the case, I see
no reaaon why we should not get at least
forty separate Indictments against May
bray, and this .number would warrant a
bond large enough to hold him. As It now
Is Maybray will have to put up 130,000 If
he secures his release under the federal
Indictments, and there Is already one or
more Indictments in the state court against
him on charges connected with the Bellew
case. I see no reason why we ought not
to he able to keep Maybray behind the
bars for some time to coma at least."
It was stated tha,t another member of
the "swindling syndicate' was indicted
Jointly with Maybray, but the name was
not made public aa the defendant i not in
custody. .. .
With the return of the Indictments
against Maybray the grand Jury completed
Its work for the term and waa discharged
by Judge McPherson.
Air. Sutor had a conference with County
Attorney Hess during the afternoon. After
the conference Mr. Hess said any person
v.ing a complaint to make will be given
an opportunity to go before the grand Jury
next week. "All Indictments which may be
returned against the Maybray gang.
whether they be one or forty In number,
will be vigorously prosecuted by this of
fice, t expect to see that all these cases
which may be brought to my attention are
presented to the grand Jury. Mora than
this I cannot do."
HOG ART'S FIFTH TRIP TO PBISOX
Promptly . Ilerogolsed by Uurdi at
Fart Madison.
Albert Hogan, who waa given an Inde
terminate aentence not exceeding ten years
in the penitentiary at Fort Madison for
breaking Into the, Lindsay warehouse and
stealing hldea and furs valued at over $3&0,
has been proven to be an old offender.
The term to which he waa sentenced by
Judge Thornell will be his fifth in tm Iowa
penitentiaries.
When Deputy Sheriff Woolman arrived
at Fort Madison with Hogan, the prisoner
waa greeted by the guards and others at
the state prison aa an old acquaintance.
Deputy AVoolman was Informed by the
warden that th one he was entering upon
waa the fifth term for Hogan.. The records
at the penitentiary show that Hogan had
previously served two terma at Fort, Madl
son son and two at Anamosa. At Fort Madl
son he served two and one-half years on
one sentence and five years on another. At
Anamosa he served sentences of three and
five yeara.
When sentenced to Fort Madison by
Judge Thornell for the Lindsay burglary,
Hogan told the court that he ought to be
sent to Anamosa, as he waa only tt years
of age. The records at Fort Madison show
that when Hogan waa sen! there In 1895
hla age waa given aa SO yeara and that
would make him forty-four yeara of age
now. Hogan. according to the records at
Fort Madison, waa twice convicted under
the name of Bradford. While enroute to
Fort Madison Hogan admitted to the
deputy that he waa over 40 years of age
and that "the talk he gave the Judge waa
only a bluff.

TEST1MONV IN WATER BOKD CASES
Treasurer on Stand to Show Indes.
odaesa of City.
The taking pf testimony In the ault brought
by the C. B. Nash company of Omaha to
enjoin the city of Coittioil Bluffs from Is
suing the proposed ttiOO.OOO water works
bonds, waa resumed yesterday before J. J.
Ferguson, the special examiner appointed
by Judge McPherson.
City Treasurer True was examined at
length regarding the financial condition of
the city, or.e of the ccntentiona of the
plaintiff company being that the munici
pality had exceeded ita constitutional limit
of indebted nest The testimony of the city
treasurer on this point In a great part sup
ported the contention of the plaintiff com
pany. In support of the contention that a num
ber ef the eigaers of the 'petition asking
the city council to submit the bond propo
aitlon to the voters were not qualified
electors, the plaintiff company showed
Council Bluffs
that H. P. Jorgrnson of 9W Fourth street
had not been a resident of this country
five years and therefore was not a quali
fied elector. It waa also shown that AV. B.
Kennedy of 2 West Oak atreet waa not a
qualified voter.
It was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff
that several of the signers of the petition
not having registered or voted since 190
could not be considered qualified elector
at the time they attached their signatures
to the petition. This waa denied on behalf
of the city, however, by City Solicitor
Kimball.
The demand of the Nash company that
the record of the alleged meeting of the
city council on the evening of September
7 last, which was Labor Day, be expunged
will be presented to the city council at its
meeting next Monday night by City Clerk
Casady.

Applicationi Considered.
All
YOUNG MAN CONFESSES PERJURY
Committeemen Refase to Seller
Him. However, and Deelioe lo
Reeommena Pardon Be
Granted.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 13. (Special.) The
nate pardons committee this evening voted
to refuse a pardon to Haley and Robbatd
of Dubuque and also to all other applicants
except Woodward and Penny, whose cases
have not yet been completed.
A sensational hearing waa given this aft
ernoon In the case of Adama of Marshall
county, when the committee waa confronted
by the young man wfiose testimony had
sent Adam to the penitentiary'. This young
man, James Ogg, confessed that he per
jured himself on the trial and pointed out
Zeke Everts, who was In the room, desig
nating him as ,the man' who was really
guilty of the murder. Th committee did
not believe Ogg. however, and voted to
keep Adam In prison.
Appointment Held I p.
The senate this morning received from
Governor Carroll the appointment of W. A.
Toung 'of Hedrlck to be custodian of - the
capltol and publto grounds, vice McCurdy.
The appointment wa referred to a com
mittee for investigation to report at the
session next Tuesday, McCurdy has been
custodian the last seven years and' was a
former member of the house. He has been
one of the hardest working and most effi
cient membera of the force In charge of
state property, but has been Identified with
th progressive movement. Young is a
banker at Hedrlck and said to be popular
at home.
Th governor haa but one more appoint
ment to make, that of member of the Board
of Control, and it is regarded as certain
that the present Incumbent will be reap
pointed. This Is John Cownle, on whom a
hard fight has been made for political
reasons.
The governor has requested and received
the resignation of J. S. Goes of Atlantic aa
a member of th State Pharmacy board.
He was accused by Eaton, another member
of the board, of drawing pay for time not
put in for the state, and Governor- Carroll
asked his removal. There are about twenty
applicants for the place and these have
been pushing the matter very hard. The
govemur haa been a member of the execu
tive council which has audited and paid
the bills of the board for years.
Light Legislative Session.
The legislative sessions today wore light
The senate spent the entire forenoon finish
ing up the hotel bill and did not reach a
vote. The house passed the Lee bill amend
ing the primary election law. Thla after
noons hearings were given in several Im
portant matters.
Governor Carroll appointed Abble 8. Ab
bott of Codar Rapids to be a member of
the state Board of Educational Examiners
to succeed Miss Roberta of Ames.
Pension Fast for Firemen.
The senate had on Its calendar for dis
posal the Saunders bill to authorise cities
t create a pension fund for firemen. A
commission Is created consisting of the
fire chief, city treasurer and city solicitor
to have charge of the fund, which Is raised
by a levy of one-half mill tax and pay
ment of duea by firemen. The firemen
pay a $6 fee for membership and annually
1 per cent of their salary. On being per
manently disabled the fireman la pensioned
on half pay and In case of death dependent
relatives are provided for out of the fund.
This Is for paid departments only, and 1
atep long desired by firemen In th
state.
o School Work.
Senator Allen got the school committee
together the other day to see If there waa
any chance of an agr ment upon anything
In the way of leglalntlon for the revision
of the school laws. He found that not more
than two or three of the senators on the
committee would be able to agree upon
anything of any consequence In school mat
ters. Senator Allen had planned to take
up the achool bills and do a great deal of
hard work upon them, but In view of thla
disagreement he has virtually announced
that no effort 111 be made to bring out
a general achool revision bill. This will
prove a great disappointment to those who
had been laboring for a measure of this
kind, but the feeling -among the member
I that there haa not been sufficient time
sine the filing of the school commission
report for the pet.pl of the state to fairly
digest the whole report and that In view
of the conflict of opinion It will be Just aa
well to permit the matter to rest until
the next session. Tn the meantime a general
program of educating the people up to the
higher atndard sought to be aet Is to be
commenced.
Reports on the Colleges.
The two houses today received the report
of th visiting committee on the state col
leges. The committee recommended that the
appropriations bo much smaller than those
which have been asked, In fact cutting out
nearly all the apeclal appropriations except
250,000 at Ames for completion of the heat
ing plant and a small sum at Iowa City
for more land. The support funds will be
slightly Increased at all th colleges, but
nothing like that which haa been asked
by the trustees and regents. The only part
of the report of much Interest related to
condemnation of th regents of the uni
versity for having proceeded without au
thority of law to build a $21,000 realdence
for the president, and a similar act at the
State Normal achool. The committee finds
that while the residences were built out of
money which had accumulated from an old
mileage tax, yet the law requiring that
the regenta should submit plans for ap
proval to th legislature waa on the book
before any action waa taken.
Ooelde a Llaaor Caae.
Th Iowa supreme court to!t a hard
fall out of the Polk county court In the
matter of a decree cloaing a building aa a
liquor nuisance. The decision centered
around a case which Involved a murder
and suicide. J. C. Cain, who ran a Joint at
Enterprise, near Des Moines, and sold
liquors, shot and killed Mr. Morris, who
tried to stop his Illegal sales, and later
Cain killed himself. The court had closed
the store aa a nuisance and afterwards on
petition of th widow of Cain, who bad
six children dependent upon her, ordered
th reopening at the place. The supreme
court bold that an Injunction closing a
place against th sale of liquor must tnean

A SERUM PNEUMONIA
Proareaa of Rffort to See ore an Ef
fective Remedy for
Disease.
Two announcements of the production of
an antitoxin for pneumonia have been
made In tho last few daya. One comes from
Boston, and credits men who are aasocltlrd
with the Tufts Medlcsl college with the
achievement. The other emanates from
Darmstadt. Germany, where a physician
named Landmann has been' engaged In the
same class of work. So contusing Is the
statement mado In the first of these In
stances that no serious Injustice will be
don by Ignoring It for th present. The
second ha slightly stronger title to no
tice. Landmann' product Is mentioned by
a London medical weekly, "Th Hospital."
and I said to hive met successfully tests
proscribed by the Ehrllch Institute for
Pathological Experimentation. Perhaps the
strongest recommendation of Landmann'
serum Is the fact that he makes no boast
concerning Its virtues. He simply asks
that practitioner try ft In a few casea,
employ the older treatment with the same
number of patients, and then compare re
sults. Msny previous attempts have been mad
to utilize the germs of pneumonia In the
manufacture of a remedy for that disease.
Some of them have been distinct failures,
and regarding the value of the others there
la still much doubt. It Is said that most
of tho serums hitherto tried have proved
too feeble to exert a perceptible Influence.
It la because something better Is appar
ently needed that every fresh venture de
serves attention. The warmest encourage
ment should be given to auch endeavors,
therefore, but their outcome should not be
accepted without the most rigid criticism.
How Important these efforts are one does
not realise unless he recalls the tfact that
pneumonia now causes more deaths than
any other disease. Tuberculosis once
claimed more victims, but has now loat
that unfortunate distinction. The change
In the situation Is due to two causes. A
more successful warfare Is waged against
th great white plague today than was
conducted twenty or thirty years ago. In
lnfluensa, which was practically unknown
to earlier generations, haa been found an
agency which predisposes those whom it
afflict to a variety of other disorders,
among which is tho moat fatal of acute
diseases of the respiratory organs. There
is greater occasion now than ever for
studying how to conquer pneumonia. New

FIERCE SCRAMBLE FOR COIN
Lawyers, Merchants. Police ana
Greeks Wanted Heinie Money.
SHOWING BEFORE C0CK7-EIX
Jndae Wnnln I.Ike t Know F.saet
IS am her of Person Who list
Trie in Cmt In on Thl
Reward. jfl
AVhen the curtain rang down on tha
Helnse necklace Incident In Justice Cook
rell court Saturday morning and John
Savl had all casea filed or threatened by
him dismissed and forgotten, the Justice
was left In doubt about a score of thing.
One thing Justice Cockrell would" like to
have learned before dismissing, the replevin
suit of Savls waa "how many Omaha peo
ple of high and Irw degree thought they
had a claim on the reward and tried to
get the Greek or police to think the am
way."
As near as could be learned, here Is a
partial list of the varloua persona who
thought they would get In on the negotia
ble tin of Otto H. Helnse:
Two detectives, one patrolman, four at- '
torneys, three Interpreters, two Jeweler,
one banker and John Savls, the man who
found th necklace, to aay nothing of th
attorney whom Helnse consulted when li
arrived In the city. And the reward wa
$600.
No less than three Greek told attorney
that they sent Savla to the lawyer to took
after his Interests; two prominent attorney
approached Eavis after he had employed
another attorney to take the caae, Whil
two more sought to get his relinquish
ment. Greek Tried lo Get la.
One Greek Interpreter told the attorney
how he had known Savls had th necklac
for many week and had taken one of th
pearls to prominent Jewelers in Omaha,
who pronounced them "no good." ThU
Greek claimed a little slice of the money,
and Savla' attorney had a hard time con
vincing him that he had no claim on th
necklace.
After it la ail over the opinion seem
to list among the vast throng who becain
entangled In the necklace Incident, that
Otto Helnxe "got off too eaay," and that
the bank clearings of Omaha and general
business should have been stimulated by
peeling off at least $5,000 and Injecting It
Into the channels pf trade in the city. A
to the money being paid to Albert Edholm.
attorneys are agreed that he had It coming,
but the vote Is unanimous that he should
have secured mora of the Helnxe gold.
JOBBERS FEAR EFFECT OF
SIDEWALK PLATFORM RULING
Think Imposition May Be Prac
ticed by Property Owners on
the Shippers.
Wholesalers and manufacturers who have
elevated aldewalkaa used for shipping plat
forms are somewhat nervous over the de
cision of Judge Troup In district court Fri
day that the city council had no right to
grant permission for the erecton of such
platforms.
'It offers an opportunity for anyone In
the neighborhood owning property to Im
poae on the shippers," said a wholesaler.
"Down In the wholesale district the ele
vated sidewalk or platform Is not an In
convenience to property Owners, and auch
walks are a convenience to shippers.
"That the case In court yesterday wa
typical of thes actual amount of damage
which such walks cause. Is shown by th
fact that an attorney approached th Loose
AVlles company or Ita agent and offered
to withdraw the complaint of Pat Gleason
If the cracker company would pay Gleaaon
130". This did not look good to the Loose
NY Ilea company, as It thought If $300 rep
resented the damage to the Gleason prop
erty, It would be more than offset by tho
Improvement and the Increase In value
which would accrue to property near th
big $100,00 plant tt Intends to erect."
Dissatisfied with Her Apartments.
"I tell you I won't have this room," pro
tested the old lady tn the bellboy who wa
conducting her. "I ain't a-goln' to pay my
good money for a pigsty with a measly
little foldln' bed in tt. If you think that
Jest because I'm from the country "
Profoundly dlsguated, the boy cut her
ahort.
"Get In. mum. Get In." he ordered.
"Thla ain't yer room. Thla 1 the ele
vator." Everybody's Magazine.
tance came to the village to attend.
For every one the ex-presldent had
hearty greeting and with many he chatted
pleasantly for a minute or more. Reminis
cences were numerous between Mr. Roose
velt and .the older men who had known
him since an early age. Almost every'
mother In tho village brought with her her
children, for they all know th former
president Is a great admirer of children.
He was especially pleaaed to see them.
A tall colored youth was one of the first
to shake handa with the former president.
He remarked to Mr. Roosevelt: "I've car
ried the Roosevelt banner In two campaigns)
and I hope I shall have the honor of delng
so again." '
To this Mr. Roosuvelt replied smilingly!
"Time alone will tell whether you are t
be afforded that opportunity."
Fully 1,000 people shook handa with Mr.
Roosevelt and when the reception wa over
he declared he enjoyed It equally a welt
as th receptions at th White House. H
had met hla old frlenda and neighbor and
men whom he had been brought up with
thirty year ago.
