For the republican and democratic com

of a mandamus City Attorney Burnam,
Assistant City Attorney Dunn and Lysle
I. Abbott were heard.
The chief question at Issue Is whether a
vacancy on the tickets did occur following
the city primary with respect to candidates
for the Board of Ftre and Police Commis
sioners and for city engineer. If such va
cancies did occur the right of the city
cotrm'ttees to fill them will, stand.
On this point Jefferls nuoted section llfcp,

which saya that "all certificates of' nomi
nation shall be deemed valid unless objec
tion shall be made In writ ng within three
days fter filing."'
Continuing, Jefferls argued thers could

WAS OMAHA FIXED ON BUNCO?
(Continued from Flrat Tage.)
Inside" pf Maybray's combination and
acted as the "private secretary" of the
"club of millionaires" both at Omaha and
at New OrleanB.
Was Mayor Duhlman "put next" by
Harriman's wife and did he promptly
proceed to give "friend Maybray" a genuine
cote of warning?
"She explained the business he (Harrl
m.m) was in. She claims to have a private
detective and so on. I am writing this so
you can look this matter up. Have been
waiting to hear from you that I might tell
yuu."
After getting wise to Maybray's business
In November, M, and giving Maybray a
friendly tip and after the Council Bluffs
games became notorious. Mayor Jim con
tinues his Intimacy with "Friend" Maybray
and on April 20, 1908, leaves with his secre
tary a nota to be delivered when he calls,
in which It appears ho owes Maybray
money.
Was Jim Mlkef GVn.
Was Mayor "Jim" a. Mike? Or did he
have such intimate relations with the king
bunco steerer that ho could borrow money
from him and then without so much as an
apology or an expression of disappointment
"full down on making arrangements for the
money."
Or was a satisfactory arrangement mado
"between 6 and 6" so that William Scott
was justified In announcing to a proposed
confederate, "1 have everything ready to
do business. We can pull It off in Omaha"
as the town has been "fixed wherever it
is pulled off."
In the summer of 1907 when Council Bluffs
Was tho town where the business was
pulled oft the gang had an office on the
sixth floor of the Paxton block, and its
postoffice box was No, 858. The Council
Bluffs address in 1908 was Box 4. The tele
gralh address there was A. B. Graft & Co.
Tho field of operation extended over the
entire country. Their victims number 100,
and almost $ji0,0oo were obtained from the
"Mikes" during the two years they, were
making Omaha their headquarters. The
federal authorities were on their trail for
mure than a year before Maybray, War
ner, Clark and Johnson were landed In
Jail at IJttle Hock on February 23. Several
ethers. Including llarriman, have since
been placed under arrest. '
Towns Must be Fixed.
Among the effects of "Friend" Maybray
Is a letter written on stationery of the
Navarre Hotel und Importing company.
New York, dated September 1, 1908. It
llustrates how the organized band of swin
dlers mado Us arrangements. To use the
language of the gang "the town has to be
fixed wherever It is pulled off." Thl
letter does not refer to any Omaha official,
but William Bcott writes that "wo can
pull it off In Omaha," and this Is equiv
alent to saying that the town had been
duly fixed In advance, according to his In
formation. Tho following is the letter:

to open a store of your kind, and as he
tins ubout miy agents wnraing on the

"About four or five years ago Maybray
came to Omaha, and came to see me. He
was sick, had tome kind of an eruption
on his face and aaid lie was flat broke,
was all in down and out. It didn't take
me lung to hand out -M to him and he
went away somewhere to be doctored. It
was sometime before I heard from him
again, but I did not worry, I knew the
loan would be returned. After awhile I
got a letter from New Orleans enclosing

"Well, wheu tills llarriman woman came

last fall and I forget now Just what the
woman wanted. I get many calls every

"Well, I wrote Maybray, not to give him
