G1LLER STILL ARGUING
AGAINST SOWERS' PETITION
Lawyer for Fire a aid Police Board
Raises Many Points Against
Plaiatlff'a Competency.
W. W. Giller resumed argument before
Judire Leslie, In county court on the motion
to dismiss the suit of Andrew B. Somers.
with respect to the Incumbency of the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners. Mr.
Giller argued at length that the plaintiff's
petition does not state that he Is citizen
of the diked States, does not state he is
a . resident of Nebraska and Douglas
county, and does., not state,, as required
by 'law. that a contestant or candidate for
the office shall not, be engaged In the
liquor, tobacco or fire Insurance' business.
Mr Somen Is not a candidate himself of
course, but if he la to be considered such
tor the purpose of the suit, his petition
Is then faulty In the points indicated. If
dot considered a candidate, argued Giller
further then the suit ought to go out on
that ground.

Police Search
for Husband of
Mrs. Snead
East Orange Officials Believe He
Could Explain Incidents Pre
ceding Wife's Death.
NEW YORK, Dec 1 A rumor that the
husband Of Mrs. Ocey Snead, the young
woman who was found dead In the bath
tub of an unfurnished house in East Or
ange, N. J., is still altve. Is credited by the
polioe there. The husband, the chief of po
lice believes, could tell why It waa that
his young wife was kept In seclusion; why
she was separated from ber baby; why she
was given barely enough food to kevp her
alive, and why, although money was bor
rowed on her life insurance policy, she sp
prars to have onjued the benefit of no por
tion of it.
The presumption of foul play was further
strengthened today by the testimony of
Julian Caraba, a Brooklyn lawyer, who
volunteered the information that he had a
third will made by Mrs. Snead and drawn
by him in his office.
Hiss Virginia Wardiaw, now under ar
rest in East Orange, he said, had offered
blm a life Insurance policy fur flO.OM If ha
would see to it that the will waa drawn In
her favor and that of her sister. He visited
the bouse In which airs. Snead lay ill and
waa amazed at the poverty he saw about
him tn the home of one able to dispose of
such considerable sum of money.
"For the Lord's sake get me out of
here," the lawyer said Mrs. Snead pleaded
with him on that occasion, "because I am
-starving ar.d they are not taking- care
of me."

MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Dec. t "D:d or
did not congress regard the rights of the
consumer when it framed the latest tariff
biUT"
That was the question Senator Moses E.
Clapp of Minnesota asked when he spoke
here last night as the premier orator In
Senator La Follette's campaign of a re
turn to the United States senate. Hs
answered in the negative.
Senator Clapp avoided direct reference
to "Uncle Joe" Cannon, Senator Aldrich or
others whom might be deemed antagonists
of "tha progressives" and concluded by
declaring that Senator La Follette would
not bo "wiped off the map," despite all
the efforts of his foes.
Senator Clapp's Speersi.
Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota,
speaking at a meeting here tonight, said
it was singular that the reactionaries In I
congress should characterize those who
stood for the fulfilment of their party's
pledge as progressive, but he had no ob
jection to being a progressive and would
let the reactionariea locate themselves. ii
said:
"The republican party was founded on
the baaic principlo that where men
voluntarily associate themselves, so-called
leaders Instead of dictating to the many
should reflect the purpose and pqljcy of
the many.
"Following the passage of the Dlngley
law in 1S97. there came a wonderful revival
In our industrial and commercial life. Ac
companying that revival, there grew up a
condition where competition waa largely
supplanted by combination.
"This was not a discovery made by the
progressives, but waa foreseen by such men
as Garfield and Sherman.
"The American people, observing the
process by which competition was being
eliminated have battled for tha last seven
years for the independence of the Ameri
can market.
Monopoly vs. Protection.
"Last winter many people felt it would
be nell to abate Dome bat these activities.
But those who had sought to domirate 'he
Amer.cau market were not satisfied wth
this and determined to go farther and stiil
more strengthen this domination. They
seised upon the tariff revision as a means
of doing so.
"Tu. recent tariff struggle was in no
sense a struggle between protection and
free trade, but degenerated into a struggle
between monopoly on the one hand and '.he
true friends of protection on the other. As
an illuatratiou of this, the men who forced
the tariff bill through congress threw pro
tection to the wtud 'liicuever it served
llieir purpose.
'The real iaue of today, so far as .he
tariif is concerned, is to protect American
Industry, where It aeoda It, from foreign
competition and at the same time protect
the American consumer from the unjust
exactions of domestic competition.
"A3 beating upon the nuun Usua, I re
fer you to the retention of the coupon fea
ture tn the tobacco trade, which the senate
simrk out. but which was put back In con
ference, which could only have been to
strengthen the competition."
The corporation tax he declared was an
Ituvmie lax Uiy disguised and tta)inUy
framed, taxing the precarious income and
exempting the permanent in 00 me.
WASHINGTON', Dec. 1 When President
Taft today pinned a second medal of honor
on Water Tender John King of the navy,
alongside the medal King a. ready possos.-e-l,
the members of the cabinet were ready to
vote the big sailor one of the bravest men
serving bis country.
The ceremony took place at the White
House, where the president had Invited the
1 cabinet.
The medal was conferred upon King for
"extraordinary heroism" on the occasion
of an accident to one of the boilers on the
Salem on September 13. 1309. King entered
a tire room filled with flames, hot gas and
steam and turned open the valves to admit
water to the boilers, thus preventing a
Jjnore serioua accifetit. Then he carried a
sailor overcome by the gas and steam to
safety and was about to return when pre
vented by those who noticed hia own burns
and injuries.
The first medal was awarded King for
heroism displayed during an accident on

CAPERS OF SPOOK CHASERS

If a living person were to try to Impress

table about they would vote them stlly.
If he tortured a tambourine they would
invite him to play a tune or stop. If he

for a doctor. What are these silly tricks
supposed to prove when they are done

whose breath smeTTs of onions? Why do
spirits never try anything worth while?
The Intellectual barrenness of the spirits
of famous people Is another pussle. Vision
should be clarified and wisdom broadened
In the spirit land, and tha spirits who
perform for commercial mediums say this
really is the case. But you have to take
their word for It. Platp talks Ilka -a

forgets how to talk.
Really, if the spirits keep on In these
stupid old ways they will Justify a low
opinion of their frivolity of action and
vacuity of mind. They should try some
