Tha Mouth Omaha commercial club held
a auccessful amoker at the cluo rooms
last night in the Interest of Increased
membership. The general toplo discussed
aa -Why should each of the city's en
erprlsea and tha professional men have an
actlva representative of all commercial
lub meetlnga." This subject waa ably dis
cussed from the standpoint of the retail
merchants by F. A. Broadwell who sua.
gested among other matters tha beginning
of a record on the part of the commercial
club to protect the retail men In the matter
or impositions by people who were not
worthy of credit. 8uch a plan thought Mr.
Broadwell would make the club a zreat
aervice to the retailer and in turn Interest
Thfc Importance of the commercial club
to the livestock Interests was discussed
by J. S. Walters, superintendent of the
Cnlon Stock Yards company. He said the
people of the city and the stock yards
could well afford to meet on common
round, and tha fact that they had not
done ao In the past waa one of the most
aerloua checks to progress. He said he
thought the time opportune for tha sev
eral Interests to unite for harmonious ser
vice to the public.
W. B. Cheek of the Burlington railroad
told what tha probable solution of rail
road difficulties would be. He said he
believed the time would come when neither
party to a controversy would take what
he called a "bull-headed'' attltuile but
that the representatives of each party
would meet on a common ground and set
tle the questions of commerce In a friendly
and mutually satisfactory way.
A. H. Murdock represented the profes
sional men and said the only way In which
a professional man could ba successful was
to gain the confidence of the people, and
that in his opinion there waa no better
way to gain It than through the avenuea
of a live and progreaalve Commercial club.
Following the formal program several
of the members mods suggestions along
the aame general lines. F. A. Cressey said
he thought It time for tha club to take up
the problem of beautifying the city. The
early days of spring are the best season
and with activity to this end on the part
of the club tha tame would reflect on the
popularity of the organization. J. M. Tan
ner suggested that the olub hold open meet
ings, to which delegates from all the Im
provement clubs and other organisations
ba invited. These could at that time bring
to tha attention of tha olub anything which
needed attention without the necessity of
taking out a membership.
Season Promised.
Tha real estate Interests were represented
by J. H. Kopelti, who suggested that tha
real eatate men mora than any other clasa
would be benefited by the strength of the
Commercial olub. He made a prediction
that the coming aeaaon would be far more
active than the last two seasona have been.
4t declared that the causa of the lack of
ready sales In the business section of the
city was the fact that many additions were
opened In the suburbs on tha easy pay
ment plan, which kept the purchasers from
Investing In the more valuable propery of
the center of the city.
John Flynn, T. X O'Nell, MlWe Culkln and
several others spoke briefly on numerous
points looking to the welfare of tha cjty
and the organisation. -
Presbyterian Congregation.
A congregational meeting of the Presby
terian church waa held at Masonlo hall
last night for the purpose of electing three
trustees and making up the budget for the
year. Tha by-laws were also amended In
tha course of the meeting.
Judge A. L. Button, W. B. Check and
J. D. Courtney were elected trustees for
the next term, The by-laws were amended
to permit the election of nine trustees and
to fix a regular day of meeting, which
will be the first Thursday of each month.
The treasurer of the church congregation
waa allowed a aalary of t&0 for his ser
vices. Tha treasurer and the auditor made their
report on the standing of tha church fin
ances. The chairman of the building com
mittee, C. M. Schindel, reported on the
progress of tha new church building. The
budget, aa recommended by tha treasurer,
waa approved and 18,592.93 waa approprl.
ted for the running expenses and pastor's
aalary for tba next year.
Previous to the business meeting tha
women provided a dinner, which was
largely patronised and well enjoyed. The
young women of the Christian Endeavor
society aotad aa waitresses and found
plenty to do. After the business session
a short literary and musical program was
conducted. This consisted of piano seleo
Uona by Miss Alice Davis, aoloa by Ralph
Campbell and J. C. Carley, and a reading
by Miss Lillian Dlmock.
Heeoast Goes Very Slow.
The reoount demanded on tha part of
the several contestanta ft-r tha nomination
for city offlcea dragged through lta second
day yesterday- Tha Board of Canvasser
succeeded In counting only tha Second
ward. In tha recount ao far no changea
have been found which materially changed
tha results, although tha votea of several
of the contestant fell lower yet. In tha
case of C, W. Bears the count ao far haa
added four vote to hla credit. C. M, Rloh
has lost two votea. Charles Vana has lost
two votaa.
One peculiar thing has developed In tha
count and that la that In each precinct so
far from on to two more ballots have
been returned than were sent out by the
city clerk oo election day. Inquiry I be
ing heard aa to where the official ballots
came from which have In these cases
welled tha count. A clerk Is busy with
the certificates of those who swore out
their excuse for not being registered. It
has bn found that many errorf appear

Dr. Clarence Barbour Says Eighteen
jmuion Dollar Hat Been Con
tributed in Two Years.
The Association, the Church and the
Kingdom" was the thema of an address
delivered last night by Dr. Clarence A,
; Barbour, asaoclate secretary of the rellg-
jlous department of the International com
mittee of the Young Men's Christian asso
ciations who was the guest of honor at
a dinner In the Y. M. C. A. building. In
cidentally Dr. Barbour mentioned that
JU.OOO.OOO had been contributed to the Y.
U. A. movement durinar tha last twen
ty-four months In the United States alone
for new buildings and that that sum had
been given by churchmen almost entirely.
Dr. Barbour Is on a tour of tha west
and southwest. Today ha addressed
the convocation of the university of Ne
braska at Lincoln. He will also apeak at
a meeting of the atudents and thla even
ing will ba the guent at a banauet of
businessmen. He will travel from thenoa
to Denver, San Francisco and Lo An
geles and will return to Chicago via Bt
Louis.
"FirstThat the association recognise
not only theoretically but In a practical
way tha primacy of the church. Th asso
ciations are an arm and aa agency of th
church. In fact they are tha church doing
work in another sphere.
"8econd-The church haa a right to ex
pect co-operation on the part of th asso
ciations In yoklng-up men to the church.
he work of the assooiatlona with any man
Is not done until that man Is linked In a
vital and organic way with th life of some
church.
"Third The church ha a right to expect
that tha associations will do for the church
what the church cannot do in Its own
buildings by reason of the fact that the
associations have equipment for certain
aorta of work. It Is churchmen who pour
heir millions Into the exchequers of the
associatlona. Eighteen millions of dollars
have been given to the Young Men's Chris
tian associations In the last twenty-four
months In th United States alone for new
buildings. That haa been given by church
men almost entirely and th church has
a right to expect that the associations will
use this equipment to do for th church
and In co-operation with the church tha
work which this equipment rightly enables
them to perform. It has a right to expect
on the part 'of the 'associations fidelity,
to the truth as It Is In Jesus Christ and
to the program of Christ for the salvation
of the whole man. The association are
liot theological seminaries but they can
rot avoid. In a measure, th teaching of
Christian truth. That truth must ring
true. The associations do work for the
body and the mind of man but their pro
gram Is Incomplete, unless there is Insist
ence everywhere upon tha vital need of the
soul of men and th ministry to the souls
of men must be after all the primary func
tion of ths Y. M. C, A."

Some Things You Want to Know
The Third Degree.
No subject Is mora difficult to Investi
gate with satisfactory results than the
so-called "Third Degree." This Is the
mysterious process by which the police art
supposed to wring the truth from crim
inal, or at least, come as near it as
possible without submitting the suspect
to th tender mercies of th rack and
thumb screw. According to th popular
notion the police do hot hesitate to mal
treat, browbeat and otherwise mentally
and physically torture the victim until he
yields the desired Information. According
to the police themselves such talk la mora
twaddle they would as soon cut off their
right hands as even raise a finger against
a prisoner. Somewhere between these
extreme views is th real truth.
The rule of law. and the instruction In
all police manuals In English speaking
countries, Is that when a person under
arrest displays symptoms of talking about
his case In a way that may be used against
him at hla trial, the officer shall warn him
that anything he Bays will be repeated by
the officer In court. Were this rule atrlctly
compiled with the number of confearlona
would be vastly decreased, all police
officials assume a wide latitude In getting
a confession, for the altruistic theory of
kindly warning th criminal on all occasions
clashes with th neoeaslty of seeing that
the guilty are punished for the benefit of
the community. It Is the varying degree In
which the police apply th "third degree"
that haa given that Institution such An
elusive character.
When the third degre I applied It Is
almost Invariably don In the prasenoe pf
none but police officials or others Intensely
Interested In obtaining a conviction. If th
prisoner slgna a confession, then repudiates
It In open court on th ground that he . was
bullied into making it, he finds the police
men lined up solidly against him, ready to
swear that the confession was voluntary
and he has no witness to disprove their
statement. If he show bruises and con
tusions, they are offset by the testimony
that he waa unruly while Imprisoned and
waa Injured In being subdued.
An Interesting eaaa Illustrative of th
alleged third degree methods, and ube-
quently repudiation, was that of Henry
Maas. He was a New York crook who was
convicted some years ago of having bean
an accomplice In a Baltimore robbery.
Several prominent New York detective ap
peared agalnat Maaa when ha waa put oa
trial. They offered what purported to be
a voluntary confession from him, admit
ting hi guilt and describing th orlm.
Maaa employed eminent counsel and en
tered a vigorous defense. He said that
when he denied his guilt the man In charge
of the investigation grabbed him by th
throat and threatened to choke and kick
him to death If he did not declare him
self guilty. Whan he protested, he waa
given more of the vigorous treatment, until
In fear of his Ufa, he concocted the story.
Id order to escape his tormentor. In re
buttal, th four detective on of them a
stenographer, who took down the confes
sion told a straightforward story of Maas
making his admissions without serious ob
jection. Th jury believed the detective
and Maas got ten year.
That tha police of large cities hav used
such method a those charged by Maaa
la hardly denied, but no policeman will ad
mit that they are In use now. "Talk it put
of them the bent way you can," waa th
terse description of toe third degre by a
detectlv of twenty year' experience in
Washington. D. C.-.VhIa is th modern
theory, and physical,, foaltreatment I sup
posed to ba rapidly disappearing, out there
are other schames fo'pwrauadlng a auspeet
to confess. For exanrpto:- 1
Several years ago a well-to-do resident
In a large city was followed Into hla horn
by a negro thug and' stabbed to death In
the hall on the lower floor. The man'
two daughtara ware on the upper floor and
heard the disturbance. One of them called
down tha steps: "Who' there?" "If all
right," a gruff vole responded, and quiet
followed. Presently the daughter de
scended and found their father murdered.
In two or thre day the police got a
light clew against the negro, and ar
rested him, but he made such violent de
nials that he seemed destined to go free.
Finally It was decided to play his super
stition against his assurance. Ha was
taken ts th hous of death, halted at th
foot of th steps, ' where the murderer
bad stood, and the daughter called down
aa sha did on the fatal night The negro
waa ordered to reply: "It's all right." H
did so, the girl recognised the voice, gave
a scream of agonized horror and fainted,
while th prisoner nearly collapsed. Seeing
his advantage, the detective remarked:
"Come on down to th morgue now, we
want you to look at tha corpse." "Don't,
buss, don't make me look at the body. Ill
tell everything," replied the prisoner In a
fremy of superstitious fear. H mad a
clean breast of It and was hung.
This la what might be called the "eolen
tlflo third degree," which haa been re
duced to Its ultimata conclusion In France.
Thrre It Is customary, when enough duos
have been left to give the police a fairly
accurate Idea of how a murder was com
mitted, to "reconstruct th orlm" for th
benefit of the arrested person thought to
be the guilty one. Ha la taken to the
sere, where police cfflclala. who ha
careCuIly rehearsed their parte, exactly re
produce th murder aa they conceive It
was committed. AH Its lurid detalla are
portrayed. Including a liberal shedding nf
f'.ke blood. dying moans, convulsive
twitching, death rattle, horrible fear on
the face of the victim, followed by thu
furtive, haunted escape of the perpetrator
of the outrage. It requires far more of an
Iron will tl.an that possessed by th uual
murderer to keep his nerve while thin Is
Sing on. and more than one has then and
there placed his nock under the guillotine
by offering to tell all If ha Is only carried
away from the sight
Confronting a suppose murderer with
the body of hla victim la ne of !,
of "third degree" methods, but tha
original reason for thla gruesome i.w,ut
has bn forgotten. At present It Is ar
rarged for the purpose of working on th
superstitious senalbllltlos. which are more
or lew Inherent In all human being.
Originally the suspect wa given th har
rowing Job of touching the body because
of a widespread belief that If tha mur
derer touched th corpse the wound would
bleed afresh. In en age when thla alleged
phenomenon waa accepted as a fsct th
fw murderers who had the hardihood to
put hands on their victim without break
ing down aoored a great point In their
favor.
Deliberately frightening a confession out
of a murderer by artificial means haa
more than once proved effective with
crlminala of low Intellectual caliber. A few
years ago a murder mystery In the south
was definitely solved by suddenly showing
i negro suspect, who was In a darkened
room, a human skeleton which Jangled lta
Joints in a most uncanny manner and ut
tered supulchral wurnlnga to tell the
truth. It proved too much for the sus
pect, who fell upon his knees, admitted
he had been lying and pleaded for mercy.
But the third degree la yet to be in
vented which will be eonalstently success
ful against the Chlneae or against tha
Italian eecret societies. Under the fiercest
questioning, and before the moat atartllng
denouements, the Chinaman maintains an
utterly expressionless. flushlea coun
tenance, always accepting verbal or physi
cal browbeating with stoical Indlfferenoa.
When a Chinaman doe appear to weaken
and glv up fact Incriminating others of
hi race. It I almost Impoeafble to learn
whether he Is honest In hi declaration
or almply using th law of the "barbar
ians", to punish a private or tong enemy
without risk to himself.
The difficulty of making the third degree
work with Italians la that they fear the
private vengeance of their secret societies
far more than anything th American po
lice dare do to them. The recent case In
which one of his co-consplrators turned on
Lupo, "The Wolf," and aaused him to be
ent to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta
for thirty years for counterfeiting, waa a
rar exception. Th third degre ha not
furnished a definite clue to the murderer
of Detective Fetroslno of the New York
force, -who was shot down on a crowded
