Lysis J, Abbott, counsel for Marmaduks
- Illllias and Iaousrd M. Allen, tha suit
to hava'a reoelver appointed for tba Long
Distance Independent Telephone eonany,
tells -ins story ol pa iUl'.of fhaud. much
mors JotsTtlfgly.tliaq 4h- court petition
In tba bnt1nnlni(,: Mr.' Al,bo1' says, the
present suit hftt ttothina" whatever to do
with the, proposed reorganisation ' of the
Independent Telephone company of Omaha,
except that they touch at onu point.
"Onja of tha ten contracts spoken of In
our petition Is with the Omaha company,"
says 'Mr.' Abbott, "and it la about the
best ; contract, for such purposes that I
aver w. It was secured while Btowe was
president of tha Omaha company, and by
virtus of that contract tha representative
of the New State company had a suite of
rooms In tha Independent company's build
ing and' from there the New Ktate Tele
phone company Is transacting Its business
In this section." 1
Getting down to the matter of the peti
tion for a receiver, Mr. Abbott grows ex
ceedingly interesting-, and It Is easy to see
that be 'feels in tils soul some ellvht ad
miration for the scries of movement by
which his clients and ether were left high
and dry, helpleea and lohtly, on a non-
money bearing Island; plucked and de
serted, as alleged.
Bark at the ftonrre.
"When Charles O. Cockerlll, Charles H.
Smith and M. M. Head began their cam
paign they were In control of the Inde
pendent Telephone company of Sioux City,"
says Mr. Abbott "Tl-en they organized
the Long Distance Independent Telephone
company, a Nebraska corporation. They
started out and st eared contracts with ten
Independent telephone companies," valuable
contract, as wa maintain, the one with
the Omaha company being worth hundred
of thousands of dollars.
"They had provided that there should be
two kinds of stock, preferred and. common;
The preferred slock was of two classes
A and B..' The holders of common stock;
were to have full control of ail the af
fairs of the company, and this common
stock Cockeiili, Head and Smith 'kept for
themselves.
"After the ten contracts with Independent
companies were secured the Central Con
struction company was organised under the
Is ws . of Nebraska. Then Cockehll, Head
and Smith, as the board of directors of the
Long Distance Independent Telephone com
pany entered Into a contract with the Cen
tral Construction company, whoje board or
directors also consisted of Cockerlll, Head
and Bmtth. Mr. Cockerlll was 'president
of both compaulea and Mr. Smith was -retary
of both.
Proceeds to Bitalffrsa.
"Well, the construction company went
ahead and built lines, buildings and ' all
that sort of thing under tlie contract, and
operated tha auua, investing luge sums of
money and earning other large sums, which
were duly accounted for to Cuck.-rill, Head
and Smith a the Long Instance Independ
ent Telephone company.
"Coming along to May 2S, IMS. Cockerlll,
Head and Spilth called a special meeliiif
of themselves as tha board of directors of
the Long Distance Independent Telephone
company, all three being present. At this
meeting a resolution was passed offering
to turn over to the Central Construction
company all the property, contracts, assets,
bills due, everything If the Central Con
struction company would take tliem and
call It quits'.
"Then Cockerlll, Head and Smith, ad
journing as me Long Distance Independent
Telephone company, after passing that
resolution by unanimous, vote, met as the
Central Construction company, and by a
similar unanimous vote Cockerlll, Head and
Smith accepted the offer of the Long Dis
tance Independent Telephone company and
took over Its business. This meotlng was
probably held '.n a different corner of the
name room, but, of course-that's Imma
terial. ofkerlll, Head mad Saitth.
' "Then, having so smoothly acquired the
property and contracts of the Long Dis
tance Independent Telephone company,
without the knowledge of my clients or
other stockholders, who bad preferred
stock, Cocker'U. Head and Smith, with this
million dollars' worth of property In their
possession, trsnsferred the same to the
New Stule Telephone company, ' an Iowa
corporation. The men in control of this
company and constituting Its board 'of di
rectors were Cockerlll, Hfud and Smith.
"Now, wa allege that Cockerlll, Head and
Smith knew all the tiie that Cockerlll,
Head and Smith were shifting that prop
erty around, through themselves and by
themselves. In a manner not allowed or
countenanced by. law." (Mr. Abbott used
stronger 1ei;af 'anguuke thn tills, " be it
suld.) -. .
Mr. Abbott's elknts then, learning of
these transfers, made demand they be set
aslda and canceled. These demands, sent
by reglstt red mall, were Ignored.- Finally,
Mr. Abbott scoured -a look at tha books
and made copies of the minutes, which he
will usa In tha suit.
Commenting op the nice dovetailing of
tha details of tha transactions la which as
asserts Messrs. Cockerlll, Head and Smith
were the busy ptople, Mr. Abbott re
marked, apparently as a relief from the
heaviness of the foregoing:
"Having transferred all the property and
wiped out the company, Cockerlll, Head
and Smith added Insult to injury by writ
ing my clients anil requesting them to pay
the corporation tax levied in Nebraska.
It was not paid, howevtr, and the governor
will probably soon proclaim the charter
forfeited under the law."
Lillian Bell
Sues Beauty
Shop Doctors
Woman Wants Five Thousand Dollars
Damagei for Use of Her Picture
by the System.
Like other businesses, that of beauty cul
ture by correeptindence, lias lis woes and
vicissitudes, and one of these afflictions
has Just overtaken "The Madame Josephine
Iloyd 6ystem."
The ."system" has bt-en sued for $5 000
damages in district court by Mia. Lillian
Bell. Mrs. Bell says the "system" u-ed
her picture In a catalogue or prospectus
and denominated her "assistant In hair ar
rangements and coiffures."
Mrs. Bell declares that she never had
any connection whatsoever with the
Madame Boyd System, never was assistant
In balr arrangements, never assisted in any
lesson In beauty culture, and was never
even In Its place of buslnees.
For having used tier photograph thus,
Mrs. Bell wishes damages", contending that
the publication of hor picture with the
glowing remark of tha catalogue consti
tuted a libel.
The beauty culture school did set forth
its merits In no uncertain terms and the
idea which a oredulous reader would de
rive would be that Bhe could easily become
lovelier than Venus and have Helen of
Troy hiding her head In a sack.
James W. Elwood and Harry B. Browne
are named as the proprietors of the
"Madame Boyd System," which is a corporation.
HISTORIC SIXTH CAVALRY
BACK FROM PHILIPPINES
Famous Old Resttment Goea to Des
Moines After Thtrd Term la
Service la the East.
The Sixth United States cavalry, a regi
ment with over 800 battles and skirmishes
to Its credit, Is expected to arrive at Fort
Des Moines from San Francisco Monday
or Tuesday, after having completed three
years' service In tha Philippine.
This makes tha third tour of duty for the
Sixth cavalry In the Philippines and China.
The regiment was organised In the fall
of 1M61 and was then known as tha "Baby
Regiment," from the fact that the average
of the ' men comprising the original regi
ment was younger than any other regiment
In the army.
Among the mon who enlisted as private
soldiers in the regiment In IStil were Adna
K. Chaffee, now lieutenant general, retired;
Samuel M. Whiteside, retired as brigadier
general a few years ago and now deceased,
and a host of retired colonels and majors.
Tha regiment engaged In practically all
the great battles of the Potomac army
during the civil war. Including the Penin
sular campaign, Fredericksburg, Chancel'
lorsville, Antletam, Gettysburg, tha Wild
erness and Appomattox. Following the
war the regiment engaged In numerous In
dian campaigns in the southwest, including
the Gerontmo campaign; w as at tha battle
of Wounded Knee and was one of the first
of tha regular regiments engaged In the
Cuban - campaign ' during th Spanish
American war. The regiment was also en
gaged In some of the earliest campaigns
against tha Filipino Insurgents and was
on the China expedition sent to tha relief
of the besieged legations. During this
campaign the regiment wa commanded
by the lata Brigadier General Theodore F.
Wlnt, formerly commander of the Depart
ment of the Missouri.
It was the Sixth cavalry that first In
augurated the fancy drill tournaments that
have .since, become so popular with' the
regular army.
The regiment ha been In continuous ac
tive service since Its organisation, forty
sight years ago. N
Whistle to Save
Pupils in Storm
Flan Proposed by Woman's Club of
Announcing No School in
Worst Weather. '
If the Omaha Womans' club has Ita way
the cloaipg of th city schools In stormy
weather will be announced to tha pupil
by the blowing of whistles early In th
morning In time to save useless trip in
bitter weather and unnecessary expendi
ture of car far.
Th Idea wa originated by Mis Mar
garet McCarthy of th Pacific school, and
It ha been taken up by tha home econ
omics committee of the Woman' club. The
club j proposes to suggest th plan to th
Board of Education.
The recent storm which caused tha clos
ing of the school for a day placed em
phasis on the value , of such a scheme.
Many pupils suffered frost-bitten ears and
frosen fintrers to reach .th school houses
only to find them closed for the day.
The club women propose that the Board
of Education get the industrial plants of
Omaha and South Omaha to sound a dis
tinctive signal from the whistles. It Is
believed that the wide area over which th
big whistle of the city are distributed
would permit the Blgnal to reach every
home.
