NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Thoma P. Reilly,
special Investigator for the Interstate Com
merce commission was arrested here late
this afternoon and locked up In the Tombs,
charged with the theft of a letter from
George W. Wlckeraham, United States at
torney general, to Harry A. Wise, United
Statu dlatrlct attorney, from Mr. Wise's
office In the New Tork federal building,
The letter subsequently appeared In the
Coamopollton Magazine and it wag known
yesterday that the long search for the man
who stele It had at last resulted In the
return of an Indictment by the federal
grand pury. Whether other Indictments
will follow, Mr. Wise would not say to
night, but they are expected.'
.The specific charge against Reilly in the
Indictment is "the taking and publishing
ot letters and private papers without au
thority," In violation of the United State
revised statutes and of the New Tork
penal laws. The acts complained of are said
aid to have been committed on July, 1, 190J,
when Mr. Wise was abroad.
In addition to the Wlckersha ietter there
were also abstracted from the files of the
district attorney's office two letters from
C. R. Helke, secretary of the American
Sugar Refining company - to John E. Par
sons, counsel for the company and the
minutes of the board of directors of the
company for the meeting held at the house
of the late Theodore Havemyer, December,
1900.
Letter Stole from Desk.
1222 Abel I. Smith, the assistant United
States district attorney who worked up the
case against Reilly, suid tonight that when
the publication of Mr. Wickersham'a letter
first greeted Mr. Wise on hla return from
Europe, he immediately Instituted a search
for the original. The Wlckeraham letter
he had left in hla desk. - It was found
finally, in the W flls. A copy of It had
evidently been taken for publication. The
.' Iteike-T"rWn letter had also, "been copied,
for . the originals were recovered in the
office file, but the minutes of the sugar
company's board of directors have .appar
nelly disappeared.
News of .the arrest .caused a sensation in
the federal bulBdtng, where Reilly was
known aa a protege of Henry L.-Stlmson,
now special counsel for the government In
Ha prosecution of the sugar cases and
formerly. United States district attorney.
It was on information furnished by Reilly
to Mr. Btlmson that the government prose
culed with success the New Tork Central,
Rock Island, Chicago, Milwaukee & 8c
Paul, Central Vermont, Western Traotion
company and other railroad and transit
companies for giving rebates on . sugar
shipments In violation of the Hepburn law,
The railroads, on pleas of guilty, were all
heavily fined. ...
Oeorge Von Utasaey, business manager
of the Magaalne, and Perlgon Maxwell,
manager, have both testified before the
grand Jury as to the price they paid tor
the letter, but this information has not
been made public

The Wickersham letter, as It appeared in
the Cosmopolitan magazine, follows:
"WASHINGTON. Sunday, June 27, 1900.

Through his efforts hundreds of thousands

Reilly for many years was a trafflo ex

relinquished hla position with the "trust"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (Special Tele
gram.) "The president's antl-tmst messaga
In an exceedingly strong and noteworthy
t'ocument," says Congressman Martin of
South Dakota. "It could only have been
written by a lawyer, and a lawyer of Judi
cial mind. It fully recognises the principle,
purpose and scope of the Sherman anti
trust act. and upholds the law In no un
certain terms. The principle of the Sher
man act Is free competition, It purpose
s to prevent and suppress monopoly and
Its scope Is broad enough to accomplish
thia without Injury to legitimate Industry.
The president advises no amendments nor
modification of this wholesome statute, but
asks for new constructive legislation in
aid of its better observance. The presi
dent's positive stand in support of the
Sherman act should go far towards sllen
clng flippant criticism of the law and dis
courage any further efforts to lgnllzi
monopoly, at least during the Taft ad

would, institute suit .next. week. The action,
Mr. Scott said, would be brought against

missing heiress being a minor.
. Before conferring with the attorney Mrs.
Cohen discussed the cose with her usual
freedom. "I am going to get satlsiao

I am as much to blame in this case as
anybody. No one has any sympathy for

Piatti Sits Astride the Flag
Pole and Hurrahs for Italy
Big Bos Flynn of the Dahlman Democ
racy wore a long countenance yesterday
and will still be mourning today. After
some difficulty the reason for his downcast
state was uncovered. With a view to
starting early on the gubernatorial cam
paign of mayor almost dally meetings of
the club have been scheduled. Now on
ot the wisest advisers ot the Dahlman club
is Louis J. Piatti, especially since Colon hI
Fanning took boat for Egypt to study up
the methods of the ancient campaigners
like Alexander, who waa so successful
that he could find nothing more to aspire
to. Piatti has a high seat at all confer
ences, but he did not attend yesterday or
today.
Mr. Piatti I one of the descendants of
th ancient Romans, today known famil
iarly as Italians, of whom there are a
large number in Omaha, all friends of "da
Tom" and "da Jim." Offlcing -with him
in th Brown block, on the fifth floor, is

Victor ot Italy In Omaha. It Is a require

NEW ISSUES TO THE FRONT

Budget Out of Discussion.
MORE STRANGE BED FELLOWS
Sir Arthar Balfour and Socialist
Blatchford Are Shooting; for Big;
Navy, Because of "Ger
man Menace."
LONDON, Jan. 8. One week from today
the balloting will begin In one of the most
bitter and weightiest political battles since
Gladstone's home rule policy spilt up the
old parties In the eighties. Twelve London
an! fifty-six ' provincial constituencies go
to the polls next Saturday, large numbers
on Monday and Tuesday, and the voting
will drag out through a fortnight.
The Issue Is In no wise open to a confi
dent prophesy. The present tendency seems
to foreshadow a new liberal government
with a sma'l working majority. On the
other hand, It Is within the possibilities
that the conservatives may win enough
iciiowett to capture control. They arc
most likely to suffer through apathy, but
such a campaign as being carried on must
bring out the most hardened stay-at-homes.
That there will be many returns to former
unionist allegiance of seats which the radi
cals won four years ago Is not doubted.
' Unionists Are Confident.
The long list of seceding liberals, who
have been won over to tariff reform, pub
lished during the week Indicates that there
may be great surprises In the coming elec
tions. Many of these are manufacturers,
who may Influence the votes of tholr work
ers. The unionist leaders proclaim their
confidence in the result and they undoubt
edly have hope, but a unionist victory
would require such an enormous turnover
that it Is questionable whether, even with
the tide in favor of that party, more can
be done than reduce the government'
majority to such a small margin that it
would have to depend on the Irish vote for
legislation. This might result In, speedy dis
solution and another appeal to the country.
In which the unionists would have better
prospect of success.
Mr. Balfour, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Mtl-
ner. Lord 1 Curson, Lord Rothschild . and
Austen Chamberlain, the ex-chancellor of
the exchequer, have been the opposition's
heavy gains in the last week. Premier As
qulth, '. Chancellor Lloyd-George, Sir Ed
Ward Grey, .foreign, secretary; Reginald
McKenna, first lord of the admiralty, and
Winston Spencer Churchill, president of
the Board of Trade, have been pitted
against them.
With tariff reform and the "German
menace" for ammunition, the opposition's
speakers have compelled the budget and
the hold-up o fthe budget by the House of
Lords to take a back seat. Mr. Balfour's
plain speaking about Germany provided the
sensation of the week. He Is the strange
bedfellow of Socialist Blatchford, whose
clamorous demands for a great navy and
conscriptions have made him one of the
figures of the day. Joseph Chamberlain
puts forth dally letters in behalf of the
protectionist candidates.
The lords seem to have rather bettered
their position by meeting the people freely
and they have gained considerable persona
popularity, but the liberals accuse such
"proconsuls" as Curzon and Mllner as being
so accustomed to ruling subject races that
they have lost sympathy with a govern
ment by the people.
The meetings in halls, where regularly
enlisted speakers hold forth, have num.
bored thousands this week, but they are
few as compared wtlh the Informal gath

question whether the "foelgntr pays the
tax in protected countries Is waged end

women are making a personal canvass.

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. 8. "Tariff tinkering"
and. the forest sj .ce ailu.nlstratlon are
condemned in resolutions submitted to the
National Wool Growers' convention here
today.
In the language of the resolution noth
ing so quickly demoralizes sheep hus
bandry as "tariff tinkering," and the action
is one to be deprecated.
The proposition to amend schedule "K'
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law Is strenu
ously opposed.
On the subject of forest reserve the
resolutions say:
"The regulations of the forestry service
which our experience has taught us, are
established more on theory than knowledge,
have worked untold hardships and an.
noyance to our Industry and have been
productive of severe but Just criticism of
the forest service administration.
"We Insist upon equal consideration with
the forestry officials in the management
of forest reserves.
"We condemn the practice of the forestry
service in Imposing 'burdensome fines with
out giving the party fined a trial before
a court of competent Jurisdiction." '
Eddy Attacks Forestry Service,
j, Arthur Eddy, president of the Na
tional Public Domain league, Denver, Colo.,
attacked the position taken by a papir
published In the Interest of the conservation
of natural resources.
Characterising the bureau of forestry as
"a mongrel cross between patriarchlsm
I and a benign autocracy, reared by a soc
! lalistlc wet nurse," he challenged the bu
reau to Bhow that there Is a danger of a
timber famine In twenty-five or thirty
years and asserted that the annual growth
of timber practically equals its consump
tion.
Me challenged the assertion that there
will be a coal famine In 1U0 years, and
pointed to the government reports tnai
our coal supply equals 3,100,UUv,UUU,WU tons,
and that our -annual consumption 1 less
than half a billion tons.
He also challenged th statement that
we will have an iron famine In SO or
40 year, and on authority of the United
States census showing - that the average
yield per acre of all our principal crops
has been the greatest' during; the last dec

GREATEST MEANS OF PUBLICITY
Mindful of Immense Benefits to
Omaha, Nebraska and Cor Belt,
Director Anxious to Hare
Popular Approval..
-Omaha may not have another National
Corn exposition.
The last -exposition did not pay out
because of unfavorable -weather condi
tions which greatly Impaired the gate re
ceipts and at the same time added to the
cost of operating the exposition. If the
attendance in 109 had - equaled that of
ltOS the exposition would have been
financial success, but the cold and
stormy weather cut the receipts to one-
fourth leas than the year before.
The managers are convlneced that the
exposition has brought, not only to
Omaha, but to Nebraska and Omaha's
tributary trade territory, benefits in ad
vertising and other way which more
than recompense for the two expositions
and cannot be estimated In dollars and
cents. The publicity given the exposi
tions was remarkable. Dally newspapers
and magaalne and farm Journal all

the expositions. Far and wida Its fame
went and wherever It reached It biased
forth the name of Omaha, Nebraska, th
Corn Belt.
In only one thing did Omaha claim a
monopoly and that was In the burden of
maintaining the expositions; In respect
of it benefits, the extensive Dubllcttv
which It brought, Omaha shared these
with its neighborhood communities and
thus did them a vast amount of good.
Could Not Control Weather.
If Omaha could have exerted more in
fluence over the weatlj-r conditions It
might have made the exposition a paying
Institution so far a attendance waa con
cerned. At a meeting of the executive committee
it was decided to call In stock subscriptions
sufficient to pay all debt and consequently
the following call was Issued:
"On account of the unfavorable weather
during the last corn exposition, the Income
from orate receipts and from, other sources
was greatly Impaired,. The unpaid bal
ances on stock will not pay in full all the
obligations of the exposition. It has been
decided to call for the unpaid stock sub

This course will necessitate action by the
house on the senate measure and give to

In preparing the substitute for the senate
resolution the committee on public lands

Hie Investigating committee waa th sol
loplo of conversation at lit capltoi today
prior lu -tn convening of 'th house. '
There was much reluotance to- discuss
for the public prima th official "cleaning
out" of tha forestry bureau, but talk wj .
freer. with reference to the tight yesterday
on th floor Of the house.
, From the supporters of Speaker Cannon '
it was denied that the insurgent vicory
was In any way. a triumph over th
speaker. It was pointed out that the whole
controversy Was an administration flghi.
that the resolution Itself was the one dc
ulred by the- president and that tne speaker
was in no way concerned. In fact h was .
personally glad to be reliovud of th re
sponsibility of naming the investigating
committee, which could only bilng him
criticism from one fcluj or th other. It
was aald.
Norrt Sees Hit at Cannon.
Representative Norris of .Nebraska, the
insurgent author of yesterday's amendment
taking away trom the speaker th right
to name the Investigation committee, had
no doubt that the vol of the house showed
a lack of confidence In Mr. Cannon, ,'
"I'Lnt lrM 11 1 ,1 Ut I'M t nil t h I n IT tt th '
country unmistakably and that is that th
members of the house do not trust Speaker
Cannon," he said. "Personally I had no
Interest in th controversy In which Secr
tary lialllnger and Mr. Pinchot are In
volved and no inclination one way or th
other. 1 did not believe the speaker should
name this committee and thus prejudice in
advance the Investigation In favor of on
of the principals In the affair and a ma
jority ot the house took tha sam view.
It was a vote of lack of confidence lu
Speaker Cannon and cannot 0 construed
any other way. ' .
The Insurgents were Inclined to th view
that lime was not ripe for th expression
of opinions aa to the wisdom of President'
Taft's action In dismissing Forester Pinchot
and hla Immediate assistants in the forest
service. While nearly all of th member
o-: the senate talked confidentially to news
paper men concerning tha situation, 1 they
forbade the publication ot their statement
In th form of interviews.
Plachot Courted Dismissal.
From the private expressions of opinion,
however,' the idea seemed to prevail that
Mr. Pinchot must have believed that li he
continued In th government service he
would have been trammeled to a certain
extent in the giving of testimony before th
congressional Invtstlgiitlng committee.
Not all of Mr. Plnchot's friends In con
gress, and It is admitted on all sides that
he has many sympathizers, thought ba
was Justified in precipitating his official
decapitation.
One of the Insurgents In the senate who
has betn a particular worm friends of Mr.
Pinchot said that It made little difference
whether the house or Speaker Cannon ap
pointed the house members of the Inves
tigating committee thnt the personnel of
the entire committee was of little con
sequence to either of the principals to the
Balllnger-Ptiichot controversy.
It waa argued that the vry fact that the
Inquiry waa to be public would prevent -a
whitewash, for It was well known that the
public waa so Intensely Interested in th
proceeding that It would Judas for Itself
and the - decision, if it was to b final,
would be rendered by the people.
Oeorge P. McCabe, the a llcltor of the
Agriculture department, called on Mr. Pln
ohot In his office early In the day and
present-d to him a letter from Secretary
Wilson which designated Mr. McCabe as
acting forester.
