HE WOULD NOT OPPOSE OLD CHIEF Refased. to Ron So Lose as Andrew Rosewater Was Democrats Meetlnat Name Candidate. Without his knowledge, George W. Craig of the Kats-Cralg Construction company has been placed In nomination for city engi neer by a petition circulated acid signed by abour 100 of his friends "sturday morn ing. The petition was filed at noon Satur day with the city clerk. Mr, Crnig. who lives at 813S North Thirty third street, was assistant city engineer under Andrew Rosewater for about ten years, resigning a few years ago. When the office was made elective his friends wanted him to file for the office, but he persistently refused to do so if Mr. Rose water would file. Mr. Craig and Mr. Rose- water were close friends and Mr. Craig would not consent to enter the race against his former chief. When the death cf Mr. Rosewater was learned Saturday morning, friends of Mr. Craig circulated six copies of a petition and in one hour secured about 4U0 slgna tures. Mr. Craig Is at Forsyth, Mont., and knowa nothing of the action of his friends or of the death of Mr. Rosewater. Andrew Rosewater filed his petition Fri day morning, the day before his death While but 2U0 signatures are required, 1.700 names are attached to his petition In the city clerk's office. The other candidates are John P. Crick, assistant city engineer; M. . J. Lacey, Thomas J. Shaw and William Anderson Aycrigg. . Nominated by His Party. Mr. Rosewater was nominated Friday evening by the rt publican committee as the party's candidate for city engineer, to gether with the nomination of four men for the Board of Fire and Police commls Bloners. The committee may meet at once to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Rose' water's death. There Is yet some doubt In the city clerk's mind as to whether the nominees can be placed on the voting machines. Mr, Butler says he will do as the city legal de partment advises him, and City Attorney Burnara says he questions the authority of placing nominees made In this manner on the machines. The attorney ay he has . not looked into this phase of the law thoroughly and will not give an opinion until he is more sure of his ground. The democrats will follow the example set by the republican committee and will meet this afternoon to nominate candidates for city engineer and for the excise board This meeting will be held In the Pahlman Democracy club rooms. Eiht more candidates, aside from Mr Craig, have filed petitions for the board, as follows: William White, 2213 Grace street; Otto Stemssen, 1U8 South Thirty second street; Thomas 8.

C0UNCILMEN MERELY PUPPETS Have to Be Told Before) They Know How to Vote Bis Crowd la Fifth Ward. Characterising the democratlo platform as 'ridiculous, idiotic and Inane," Harry B. Zlmman, pointed out to the young men who attended Friday's meeting of the "Breen Boosters." the best way of defeat ing the Jlmocratlc ticket and of redeeming Omaha. The meeting was held in the Fon tanels club rooms and was attended by about 460 young men. Mr. Zlmman went to it directly from the Jim convention where he witnessed the preparation of ths platform of the opposition party. "The democrats say they believe in munlc lll ownership of the waterworks system and declare for' co-operation with the Water board." said Mr. Zlmman. "but dur ing this campaign I Intend to ahow a number of resolutions the democratic city council passed denouncing this same Water board and attempting to discredit it en tirely. But now they say they wish to co operate. Why haven't Ihey co-operated dur ing theaJast three years? "They also decry the social evil snd say they believe the houses of assignation should not be In the residence districts. Well, the mayor la in command of the po lice force of the city and haa the power to close these houses. If they are In favor In the future of segregating these places or of closing them altogether, why haven't they done so In the last three years? "The democrats also declare for tl gas again. They did that three yeara ago, but we didn't get the gas that la, the Illumin ating kind. Then they claim credit for the 160,000 Mrs, Levi Carter gave this city for the new park, and they claim credit for sev eral rtieces of beneficial legislation, when none would have been passed but for the seventh vote of the republican councilman; and they claim credit for the unlveraal street car transfer when the mayor vetoed it and we passed it over his veto. "I tell you that thoae councllmen now, after three yeara' experience, don't know whether to vote "aye" or "nay" when the wish to sustain or override the mayor's veto. Is It not time we elect a set of coun cllmen or directors, who know how to ad minister the city's affairs?" Mr. Zimman reaffirmed his allegiance to the party, and, telling his hearers that he was the first man to congratulate John P. Breen on his nominator., declared that he was willing and ready, to do everything possible to elect the whole republican ticket "and redeem Omaha from Its un enviable position In the democratic column." L. A. Burmester, couucllmanlc nominee from the Third ward; Fred Schroeder, counctlmanlc nominee from the Seventh ward, and the following made short talks: Cadet Taylor, Martin Sugarman, C. V. Hlgbee, H. Hobert, Charles Kubat, Beecher Hlgby, Charles Unltt. Charles A. Foster, John T. Jepson and Ed Crook. Music was furnished by the "Breen Boost ers' Quartet," composed of Frank Simpson, Joe Merrill, L. o. Holmburg and Dan Wejtergard. A crowded house greeted the speakers at the Fifth Ward Republican club'a meeting at Its headquarters, Sherman avenue an-J Locust streets, Friday night. President Frank E. Stone acted as chairman of the meeting. The principal speakers were John P. Breen, the republican candidate for mayor, Byron G. Burbank and H. H. Baldrlge, although a large number of the republican candidates were present and made brief addreaaes. "This Is a republican year," aald Mr. Breen, "and if we hold up to the registered vote there la no reason why we should not reap a aubstantlal and overwhelming vic tory. T.-.ree years sgo the democracy went Into power In thia city on the alluring platform of $1 gaa and home rule, with a municipal gaa plant as a side issue. They now admit that the II gas and municipal gas plant have not yet materialised, while the home rule promise has also gone glim mering. But they want you to give them another three years' lease of power, when they will make good their promises. We have had a recent example of their home rule promises, with personal liberty fea tures added, in the 8 o'clock closing law." Mr. Breen spoke further upon the record of the republican party In fulfilling Its platform promises and of the efficacy of the Slocumb law as a liquor selling regu lation measure, which met all the require ments of a good law. Ha denied that he waa s prohibitionist. Stands by the Platform. Tho republican candidate pronounred himself as decidedly aalnst dirty streets snd broken sidewalks, which were a visible Inheritance of democratic Incompetency. He favored the doctrines pronounced by the republican city platform, wnich he charac terised as an admirable document and rne easily understood. Character in the person of city officials waa more to be desired, he held, than promises, and that after ail the greatest platform waa the man or official who ran discover evils and move on them and remove them. Mr. Burbank said: "No law haa any potency unlr as Its enforcement Is carried out In the breaat and activities of an honest man." He referred to Mr. Breen as a man m A WEEK and Free Delivery This piano Is admitted by Omaha's of high capacity, honesty and Integrity, and aa one who would be an honor to the cjty. H. H. Baldrlge apoke of the dissension in the democratic party and ths harmony that prevailed among the republicans of Omaha at. this time. "The duty devolves upon every republican of this community to do the best he can for the community," tald Mr. Baldrlge, ' "and that duty can be discharged In no better way than voting for Mr. Breen and all his associates on the republican ticket" The other speakers of the evening were Nelson C. Pratt, candidate for city at torney; Sam Oreenleaf, candidate for city clerk; John 8. Helgren, candidate for city comptroller; Frank Gardner, candidate for building Inspector; H. E.

Barns Says He Will Win In Graft Case If This Is Seta red AII on Way East. "If we have an honest lury, we shall convict Calhoun and all his crew." dsclarod William J. Burns, the most famoaa real life detective In the world, at the Union station Friday. "The evidence Is clear and beyond question." , Mr. Bourns was one of four, well-known men 0 1 the Overland Limited. The othera were Harvey W. Scott, the Portland lOte.) editor, mnd mentioned as the next am bassador to Mexico; Benjamin lde Wheeler, president of the University Of California, and Michael DeYoung. owner of the San Francisco Chronicle, and a mighty powei in the western land. DeYoung and Burns were by no mean. chummy during their twenty ml.iutoa In Omaha. DeYoung Is fighting the lleney Burns prosecution with ail r.'.s mUlit and main and Is a personal friend of Patrick Calhoun, the president of the United Rail roads company, whom Heney, Langilon ant Burns are even now trying to send to tii California penitential y for brlbcty. Interested In Jury. "So they've got the laa J:ir.jr. ' kail Burns, deeply Interested, and I'lv.liienl Wheeler filt similarly, "ll the jury U honest, Calhoun's conviction is tertiln, tit the evidence Is clear and complete." "They have atopped at iiJtlilng "bribed my secretary, copied my papers and Ulert some documents, and whe.i we ot u search warrant and found the ttolen goods In tlielr safe, how they screamed." Burns declared further that both he and Heney had been dogged by suspicious characters all along and particularly of late and that "the rich crooks of San Francisco would stop al no crime to get ua out of the way. But," he added with determination, "we shall put them wher they belong If honest Juries can be had." DeYoung would not talk of the prosecu tion. Asked what he thought the outcome of the Calhoun trial would be, he sud denly betrayed an Intense Interest In the way Omaha Is growing. Mr. DeYoung Is on his way to attend a meeting Of the Associated Press In New York, he being a director for thirty years or more. His wife and daughter, the latter a handsome girl of 18, were with him. Socially the De Youngs are. the center of Ban Francisco's most exclusive circle. "The Japanese question has simmered down sonewhat," said President Wheeler "But opposition to increased Immigration la Just aa vigorous ss ever and It will so continue. It is not easy for people In this part of the country to understand how California feels. Live out there a while and you would adopt the prevalent view. It is Just like the northern view of the negro question In the south." President Wheeler waa on equally good terms with both Burns snd DeYoung, though he snd Burns were together most of the time while here. "It Is simply uni versity business which takes me to New York," he said. Mr. Wheeler waa formerly professor Of Greek In Cornell university and known on that campus by the affec tionate nickname of "Benny Ide." His auccess at the University of California has been great. Though not a particularly tall man, he stood head and shoulders above Burns, who is hardly over five feet five Inchea. Burns Is going to Washington to testify In a land fraud case.
