G ross Accused
of Threatening
Women in Case
Agent of Omaha and Council Blufft
Street Railway Company Accused
in New Affidavit!.
Arthur Oros. claim agent of the Omaha
and Council Bluffs Street Railway com
pany, was accused of attempting to In
fluence witneaaea In the now famous
Stewart case. In two affidavits filed yes
terday In district court.
The charge Is made by Mrs John K.
Brsndt, wife of the secretary of the
Nebraska Savings and Loan association,
and by Miss Minnie Brandt, a cousin of
the banker.
H. C. and Clinton Brome, Attorneys for
Stewart, filed the affidavits. Clinton
Brome making one on his own account
In respect to another phase of the matter,
whlrh is a showing for a new trial In
this rase, the other where Jury tampering
fcy Al Keenan Is alleged to have occuried.
The two women's affidavits are Identical.
They assert that following the testimony
of Brandt during a recess. Gross came
to them and said:
"Mr. Brsndt made a good witness. He
dlt nothing to hurt us and we would
like for you to do nothing to hurt us,
too." To this the women said they would
tell the truth and then dross they say,
replied: 'How csn you come up here and
tell all about this accident when you told
ma you knew nothing about It?" "
The affiants then said they did not have
to tell him all they knew then, and they
added that Gross next said. "You did not
tell the truth. You told a lie and we will
make you swear to a He."
"What's Stewart to you?" next asked
Gross. "John may want us to do him a
favor some time and we could do him a
favor or we could hurt him."
Mra. Brandt asked how. She says that
Gross replied:
"Of rourss you know thst wa have a
good many men In our employ."
Mrs.x Brandt says she- then told the
claim agent that he should be ashamed
to try to coerce them and told him,' "You
would not talk bo if I were a man."
Clinton Brome's affidavit has to do with
Attorney Henry C. Murphy'a connection
with the testimony of Barrett and Van
Cleve and he deposes that Murphy was
sought out by him and Induced to do
what he could to help atop Jury tamper
ing and that Murphy was not actuated by
a desire to prejudice the public against
the street car company but to stop Jury
fixing.

coming to Omaha, and that if Omaha had
one thla rlty would be practically free cf

Mayor Dahlman Is In favor of establish
ing a municipal rock pile for the enter
tainment of bums, but the former council
waa not enthusiastic ever the scheme.
This being the case, the secretary of" the
Associated Charities has not pushed her
plan, But aa si on as the new council gets
under way ahe propotea to ask It to es
tablish a mints t j re quarry where vagrants
can be given employment until sjch time aa
they decide that Omaha ia not suited to

BURMESTER HEAD OF COUNCIL
Republican Member Secures Chair
manship by Good Vote.
THREE DEMOCRATS VOTE "AYE"
Prefer Third Ward Maw to Sansber
of Fellow Partisan Candidates
Fnnkhonaer President
Pro Tern.
Louis Burmester. republican, member
from the Third wsrd. was elected presi
dent of the Omaha elty counMl Monday
afternoon, on the twenty-fifth ballot by
the votes of the six republican members,
himself included, and three democrats.
Brucker, Johnson and Sheldon.
Following the election of Mr. Burmester,
Funkhouser. member from the Eleventh
ward and defeated candidate for president,
was elected pro tm by unanimous vole.
The nomination of Mr. Funkhouser was
made by Councilman Sheldon and there
wss no other candidate. Councilman Mc
tlovern, ulso a defeated candidate for
president, has been president pro tern since
the resignation of Jeff W. Bedford the
first of the year, but he was not nom
Innted again.
Five candidates were placed In nomin
ation for president of the council, two re
publlcsns and three democrats. After City
Clerk Butler had called the council to
gether and the twelve members had an
swered "present" to the call of the roll,
he announced that nominations for pres
ident would be received. Judge Berks of
the First wss the first to get the eye of
the chairman and he placed Mr, Bur
mester In nomination.
Councilman Sheldon of the Sixth then
nominated Councilman Funkhouser of the
Eleventh. Judge Berks was then placed
In nominated by Mr. Burmester, Council
man Bridges of the Second nominated
Councilman McGovern of the Ninth, Mr.
McQovern retaliated by nominating Mr.
Bridges, and nominations were then or
dered cloaed on the motion of Judge Berka.
Balloting; for the Job.
The first ballot gave three votes to Bur
mester, three to Berka, three to McGov
ern, two to Funkhouser and one to
Bridges, and thla total waa not changed
materially until the last the twenty-fifth
ballot was taken, when Mr. Burmester
received two more votes than are nec
essary to elect.
Councilman Brucker of the Fifth, demo
crat, made the first break, and when his
name was called, the third one on the
twenty-fifth ballot, and he voted "Bur
mester," a hum went around the room,
the crowd of Interested auditors seem
ing to believe that this break meant the
election of the Third ward councilman.
Mr. Burmester s name was called next,
but he passed. The next democratic name
called was that of Funkhouser, but he
voted for Bridges. Johnson of the Fourth,
the next democrat called on the roll, passed,
and . the roll call came to Sheldon. Bur
mester then had six votes, five repub
licans snd Brucker's. Burmester had
passed, but, as Sheldon said afterward,
he would vote for himself if the vote waa
needed, so Sheldon cast his vote for the
republican. This wss the seventh vote
necessary to elect. Johnson then voted for
Burmester and the successful nominee,
when hla name waa called the second time,
voted for himself, saying that he owed
that much to the men who had supported
him. I
The crowd In the chamber cheered, and
the new president was escorted to the
chair. He made but a brief talk, saying
he would do his best to fulfill the duties
of hla office and to do the will of the
councllmen.
Democrats Spilt Some,
In the ballottlng for president the re
publicans stsyed together, while the demo-'
crats switched back and forth among their
three nominees. Judge Berka of the First,
A. C. Kugel of the Ter.th and Fred Schroe
der of the Seventh voted consistently for
Burmester on every ballot, while J. B.
Hummel of the Eighth. Charles M. Davis
of the Twelfth and Mr. Burmester voted
for Judge Berka on the first twenty-four
ballots, swinging to Burmester on the
twenty-fifth.
Opposed to this solid voting by the re
publicans, the democrats voted In thla
fsahton:
Bridges csst his first nine votes for Mc
Govern, the next six for Funkhouser, seven
more for McGovern, and the last fotir for
Funkhouser.
Brucker voted four times for Funkhouser,
then four times for McGovern, then six
for Funkhouser, two for McGovern, and
the rest, with the exception of the last,
for Funkhouser.
Funkhouser cast his first twelve votes
for McGovern, the next two for Bridges,
the fifteenth ballot for McGovern, the
next three for Bridges, the nineteenth for
McGovern, the next four for Bridges and
the last two for McGovern.
Johnson distributed his votes among the
three candidates of his party. The first
seven went to Funkhouser, the eighth to
HcOovern. the ninth and tenth to Funk
houser, ths eleventh to McGovern. the
twelfth to Bridges, the thirteenth to Funk
houser, fourteenth to Bridges, sixteenth to
McGovern; seventeenth and eighteenth to
Brldgea, and the rest to Funkhouser, with
the exception of his votes on the twenty
second and 'the twenty-fifth ballots, the
first going to Bridges and the last to
Burmester.
McGovern voted first for Biidges. next
for Funkhouser and then bsck to Bridges
for the next five votes. The next fouf
votes went to Funkhouser, the next five
to Brlilges, snd so on, bark and fourth
between these two candidates until the
hitter end.
Ssvltrhlaar Did "othln.
Sheldon voted for Funkhouser on the
first five ballots, then three times for
McGovern, four more votes for Funk
houser, three for Bridges, one for Mc
Govern, another for Bridges, and the rest
for Funkhouser, except on the twenty
second ballot when he switched back to
I Bridges again and on the twenty-tifth
when he climbed onto the band wagon,
j Bridges got ss high ss four votes In
the seventeenth ballot. He had three
I votea on the ninth and the thirteenth,
i but on the other ballots he got either one
I or two votes, being left out sltogether on
seven ballon.
McGovern got five votea on the alxth
land seventh ballots, four on the seventh
I and sixteenth ballots, and one, two ur
j three votes on the other ballots, except
I on six when he was left out in the co,J.
Funkhouser also got as high as five
votes on three ballots, the tenth, nine
teenth and twenty-third. He failed to
gat a vote In three ballots but received
one, two or three votes on the rest.
Large bouquets of flowers were placed
on the desks of each of the six republican
members by the Central Republican club,
ahlle Councilman Kugel and Davis each
hsd two bouquets. Mr. Kugel s other
bouquet came from the Plumbera' unoii
and Mr. Davis' from the street car men.
Councilman Burmester evidently had a
"hunch" that he was going to be elected,
for he had a large box of clgara with
him and this wss pa sued around after
adjournment. It may b that ths dem
ocratic candidates also took clgara to ths
council chamber with them, but If they
did they failed la bring them forth after
ths battle.

GENOA. Neb.. May 23.-To the Kdltor
ef The Bee: In a recent Iss ie of The Bee
t note a small historical sketch of the
Norwegian Independence day and the
union of that country with Sweden, in
which you iave Inadvertently made some
misleading statements. Historical Inac
curacy In this case, of events happening
a hundred yeara ago, and that. too. of
minor Importance, Is. of course excusable.
I refer to such statements s the follow
ing: Norway enjoyed strict Independence for
only a short time, however, snd to pre
serve Its Independence from other countries
end for mutual protection It Joined Sweden
and Karl Jnhan, a Frenchman, was chosen
king of the two countries, this dual gov
ernment continuing until 19i.
Now, Norway, after the treaty of peace
had been signed with Denmark, did not,
as your account would Imply, "Join Sweden
for mutual protection from other coun
tries." tnstesd. the Norwegtsns then, as
In 1905. selected a Danish prince ss their
king. The Ksrl Johan yrm mention was
no other than Napoleon's Marshal Berna
dotte. the founder of the present royal
family of Sweden, and he waa not chosen
by the Swedes and Norwegisns Jointly as
king. He was selerted by the Swedish no
bility aa heir and successor to the old
and childless king. Charles XIII.
Karl Johan. as he was then called, and
who reigned at Charles XIV, while he was
yet crown prince of Sweden. Joined the
European eballtlon against Napoleon; in
fact, commanded what was known as the
western division of those armies that
eventually drove Napoleon Into exile. It
was In recognition of the service of
Sweden In this wsr. and as a sop for the
loss of Finland, which had been wrested
from that country by Russia, that Nor
way was given to Sweden. Norway did
not, however, tamely submit. The Swedes
entered Norway with an army, and Eng
lish men-of-war appeared before a Nor
wegian fortress on the coast. A few skir
mishes Were fought, but no real battle; a
fort was demolished, and the Danish prince
gave up the struggle. Norway thus be
came united with Sweden against Its will,
but during this union enjoyed a measure
of Independence that it had not felt for
600 years. In fact, the Independence of
Norway was not enlarged materially by
the dissolution of the union with Sweden,
while its prestige was materially dimin
ished. N. H. JOHNBON.
America and Armenia.
OMAHA. May To the Editor of The
Bee: As to what this country can do and
should do In regard to the Armenian out
rages, our history is unique enough to
warrant the Cnlted States in taking un
usual measures towards helping thiM dis
tressed people. Oour army and the lied
Cross have alwaya done gnod work when
needed. They are tried and true. The
knowledge of this, coupled with tho fact
that the "Young Turk party has desired
that they have the good will and sympathy
of the Amorlean people, gives ua a chance
to ajiswer through the proper channel that
the new government has the good will and
best wishes of the American people and
aa an evidence of this we ahould like to
send a sufficient number of soldiers into
the devastated districts to assist these
people In returning- to their farms and In
getting their crops started. Also that our
Red Cross be permitted to assist m the
rare of their sick and destitute. Right this
minute there should be places opened all
over -the- country where money eoull be
sent for this people. The mission of the
American people should' be to knock at
every door where there Is distress from any
cause whatsoever and offer assistance this
and nothing more. The need Is great and
our patriotism should not be fofund want-in-

UNION IN FIRE DEPARTMENT
Org-aniiation Debited Exteniirely at
the Commissioners' Meeting-.
MATTER LEFT WITHOUT ACTION
Commissioner Karhaeh and Mayor
l,o-k Horna In Araoment
Captain Closely Examined
by the Commissioner.
Starting In with a nice lovefest. the
meeting of the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners last night waa enlivened by
a tilt between Mayor Dahlman and Com
missioner Karbach. The trouble Started
from a, rumor to the effect that a petltloa
was being circulated among members of
the fire department asking for the reduce
Hons of Chiefs Salter, Simpson and De
ncen.
Three captains. Jacks of engine company
No. 4. Morris of hose company No. 7 and
Gardner of truck company No. 4, were
called on the carpet by Commissioner Kar
bach to tell what they knew of the pur
ported petition, and Captain Jacks' remark
that the so-called petition waa charged
against the unlrm turned the discussion
Into that channel.
Chief Palter supported Commissioner
Karbach In his contention that, a union is
a bad thing in the department. The com
missioner 'introduced a resolution Instruct
ing the chief to notify all members of his
department to "refrain from organising,
attending or participating In any secret
organisation within the department." fail
ure to comply being punishable by dls
chsrge. The mayor defended the union, for the
reason that no complaint had ever been
filed against It or Its operation since Its
organiistlon four j-esrs ago. and after a
protracted discussion Commission Karbach
recalled his motion.
Nothing was brought out tY suhstsntlste
the rumor that a petition against the fire
chiefs Is being circulated.
Drafts of contracts drawn up by the city
attorney to be entered Into between the city
and the men belonging to the fire and !
police departments, the contracts being In .
the form of a waiver of the Increased pay t
accorded by the new charter, were read
to the captains present. The board, on
motion, agreed to sign the contracts If the
men will. Captains announced thst every
member of the fire department had ex
pressed a willingness to sign, and Chlf
of Police Donahue said that all but six
men on hla department had already signi
fied a willingness to sign. The contracts
specify that ths men will work the re
mainder of the year for the same pay thy
wouia nivp receivea nu cue ciianer nui
been changed.
Out of consideration to Mrs. Edward
Leeiier, who Is seriously sick, the board
postponed for two weeks the trial of Fire
man Leeder, who Is charged with "work
ing politics" during the recent city
campaign.
Policemen L. W. Willis and James Ken
nelly pleaded guilty to entering a saloon
and drinking beer while on duty, and were
each fined 110 and enjoined to abide by the
rulea In the future. Charges against Flre
mai Fted A. Fltxpatrlrk, who reported for
duty thlrty-aeven minutes late one morn
ing, were dismissed.
Msrtln Mulvlhlll, captain of hose Com
pany No. 6, made application to be placed
on the pension roll, but no action was
taken.
Chief of Police Donahue was granted
twenty days' leave of absence to attend

"Why do you not advertise to the Consumer
through daily newspapers?
That question put to almost any manufacturer
who has not tried it will frequently be met with the
statement that 'fit's too expensive." This idea is
incorrec.
"Why not try it?
A campaign through newspapers, with all the
auxiliary work planned for you by (us, will sell more
goods for general consumption than can possibly bo
sold in any other way.
Tell us the places where you know your distri
bution is complete and yet. where the goods are not
- moving as they should. Try the effect of newspaper
space in selling a particular article in any one city.
If your goods are of general consumption and
you have never tried such a newspaper campaign,
why not test it for results?
