t,oeaI Company to Protest.
It ha been definitely stated by the rep
resentatives of the South Omaha Electric
Light and Power company that a protest
will be filed sgsinat th action of the city
council In awarding the contract for public
lighting to the Omaha Electric Light and
power company. It require a protesting
petition signed by I per cent of the legal
voters of the city to top the eaecutlon of
the contract and to force the same to be
submitted st a apeclal election at the ex
pense of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company. It ha been demonstrated
that that number of namea can be easily
secured in the petition containing M0 namea
taking' that the city council favor th
South Omaha company. Petitions are be
Ing prepared for Immediate circulation.
Theaa will be presented as soon as the
Judiciary committee of the council reports
favorably on the ordinance extending the
contract of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company. Thla action Is expected
Monday nl(fht.
It la predicted that If tha matter t forced
to a special election the South Omaha com
pany will win eaally, becau th company
agrees to furnish commercial lighting
cheaper by i cents per kilowatt hour. It
follow, In all probability, that, with th
presentation of the legal protest, tha
Omaha company may withdraw from ths
competition rather than face a losing 1

COSNILL AKD GROSS TESTIFY
atreet tsr Company Men Enter Ex
planation aa to Meeting; with
J a rora After Verdict Their
Way In Stewart f'nae.
Five wltneasea wer Introduced .by th
defense In the Keenan hearing yesterday
afternoon. Ot these the defendant, W. J.
Connell and Arthur Gross, respectively
counsel and claim agent for th atreet car
company, were the principal witnesses In
behalf of the sccused man. With thla tes
timony th defense rested, the state an
nounced one witness in rebuttal and the
case went over until Friday morning.
The testimony ot W. J. Connell had
chiefly to do with the meeting ot himself
and Gross with Barrett and Van Clevs. the
two Juror appearing for the state. Grots'
statement alao covered thla.
Beside this testimony the defendant him
self denied all the Incriminating conver
sation alleged by the two Juror and ex
plained hi transaction with them In de
tail. Gross' appearance was notewortbr tot
a denial by him In answer to a question by
A. W. Jefferls of Keenan' counsel that
he' had ever retained Keenan to' act for
the street car company In any way what
ever. Gross wa subjected to a lengthy
cross examination by County Attorney Eng
lish, the latter hinting at a promissory
note or notes alleged to have been made to
Keenan by Grosa. Gross would not deny
positively that he had ever uttered a note
In Keenan's favor, but declared that he
had not to the best of his recollection.
Always Qoallfles Answer.
Back and forth over this the examination
went for many minute, the county at
torney palpably desiring to get Gross to
sssert flatly that he had never signed a
note to Keenan, and Gross insisting that
he had not, but always sddi'.g th qualifi
cation, "Uthlnk not," or "to the best of
my recollection."
When Connell first took the stand Jef
ferls asked him If he waa counsel for the
Omaha it Council Bluffs Street Railway
company.
"I am." said the witness.
"Mr. Connell." said Jefferls, "you fight
hard for your client when you have a case,
but you always do It In the open?", .
"Te," said the witness, "and I never try
to stab a man In the back."
English objected, but the answer went.
On direct examination Connell deposed
that he and Gross had left the court house
after hearing the verdict In the Stewart
case and were on their way to Sixteenth
street when the two Jurors met them at
the corner of Farnam by the Smith-Premier-company's
offices.
"Gros alio remarked"' them," ald th
witness, "for he said to me 'Here are a
couple of the Jurors." Ws stopped and I
said to them 'Well, I see you are through .
serving your county and are out again.'
Thla caused a smile." .
When Gross detailed this conversation the
county attorney asked Mm if "they laughed
heartily at this?" Gross replied that they
had, not, and denied that the amusement
had an Ironical nature.
Connell then told of the rert of hla con
versatlcn with Barrett and Van Cleve.
Van Cleve. he said, volunteered that the
plaintiff had no case, and the foreman,
who had appeared to be for th plaintiff,
finally atated that he had been for the de
fendant all along, but had taken the other
tack Just to see how the Jury' stood. "It
would have mad no difference with m If
he had bean there till morning," said Van
Cleve, "I would have stayed wlh him,"
The witness went on to say that ho had
declared that this waa "a holdup cs,"
Bi d (peaking of the street car case gen
erally had aid that at one time ther had
been 137 against the company, but they had
been reduced to about thirty. The witness
denied explicitly that he had said to th
Juror "I hope you will bo with us th rest
of the term," and Gros also debited thit
he himself said ' thla or that Cmnell had
said it.
Keenan's testimony covered meeting with
Bairctt and Van Cleve and included denial
that he had mentioned the treet car com
pany, had even known that th case before
Judge Day wns a street car case, had tald
"there la a pl-ce of money In It for you"
and tn short denied all the testimony of th
witnesses for the state which In any way
Inculpated him. The wltnep -gave an ap
parently straightforward account of his
purchase cf the warrant of both. '
On cross-examination he waa more t hi

let you know the name of a witness In

Plenty of other factories
get cloths from the same
mills that we do, but
then, we vastly improve the
fabrics we put them through
the London process -it keeps
shrinking the woolens until
there isn't a hair's breadth of
stretch in them. That's why
hold their shape. Modeling stays in
the exact spots where it was first put
stretching and tugging won't unbalance
it. If wearing clothes that look the
same as long as you own them is an
advantage, then it's well worth while to
find a shop with a Sincerity stock.
The young men's models are different, not only in
pattern, but also in proportion. Prices in proportion
