In all three suits Elmer E. Thomas was the attorney of record. November 24 of last year Erdman filed suits to recover sums of money which he alleged ho lost gambling. Of Ulchard 8.

Talking coolly thiough the bars of his cell Erdman told reporters Tuesday morn ing that he had arranged with an accom plice to hold up and rob a bank, when his pal deserted him, three years ago. The prisoner said his accomplice in the In teended bank robbery plot was a man named Thomas, who had served In the Canon City penitentiary, and whom Erd man had sent numerous cases of provisions and clothing' after the latter had made hie escape from the prison. Thomas, upon being liberated, according to Erdman, joir.ed him here in Omaha and occupied a room with him. Erdman de frayed all the expenses of his friend. bought him clothing of an expensive kind and gave him all manner of attention, he said. "Thomas was sick," said Erdman, "and I wanted him to rest up and get well before we pulled off the big job." The plans of the two went by the boards suddenly with the disappearance ot Thomas and about fftOO of Erdman's money, and the two revolvers they were to use in the hold' up proceeding. Erdman denied, as he had done before, ever having been out of the city at the times the police allege in their suspicions of his work on the dynamite plot. He de nied ever having been in Louisville, Nob., where the high explosive dynamite Is kept. Deputy County Attorney Magney Tuesday morning announced he. was seriously con sidering the plan of swearing out five separate complaints against tho prisoner a complaint from each member of Mr. Den nlson's household. "We have got a pretty strong case with tha single complaint of Dennisori, however," said Mr. Magney, and the maximum penalty ot fifteen year for conviction on that complaint would prob ably amount to life for the prisoner." The attorney explained that Erdman is past 60 years old now and that to swear hia freedom away for seventy-five years or more, as would be the case with con viction on five complaints, would be an unnecessary precaution. "However," con. eluded the state's prosecuto., "we may de cide to use the method ot complaining with five principal witnesses." It was further pointed out that if this decision should be made, tha present complaint would be set aside after the prellminu-y hearing Friday and tha new ones sworn out It was learned from John O. Yelser, at- torney for tne prisoner, mat mrs, j. u. Oeutsch, 423 North Eighteenth street, at whose house Erdman lived to the time of his arreBt, will testify that the man waa in his room all afternoon or the day on which he Is alleged to have been out plac ing dynamite bombs. Captain Bavaga Tuesday morning ad. niitted that the police havo learned of a woman in Florence with whom Erdman was on close term of friendship and that It Is thought he may nave contrived the bomb at her house. In the course ot bis interview with re porters, Erdman siaiea mat ine gooa citi sens of Omaha" were acting In his defense and would defray the expenses of his trial. Besides tha omission or the name Tom Donnlson in the opening part ot the original con-plaint against Erdman, the county at torneys discovered another defect. Tho complaint described the gun in the dyna mite bomb as being loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets in cartridges, whereas the gun In reality was loaded with dynamite end blank cartridges. Both defects were corrected and the com.' plaint moue rcauy . or u wearing will take place Friday morning. Attorney Yelser has announced that he ill let his client stand trial thruugh the preliminary hearing and force the state to uso a considerable part oi its evidence against him. Frsnk N. Phelps resumed his testimony against John W. Bergers In district court Tuoday morning. He declared that he had several times met Bergers and Mrs. Phelps out automobile riding and that his invita tion to Bergers to get cut of his car and settle matters on the street did not appeal to the automobile dealer. Phelps testified that one day In April, 1SXO, he had Been his wife coining out of the back door of Bergers' home and then had seen Bergers emerge from the front entrance. Phelps declared he then said ty his vvlte "Weil, I havo caught you red-handed at last." i To this Phelps said Mrs. Phelps replied: "Well, if you've caught me, I may as well own up." The witness then testified to seeing Mrs. Phelps leaving Bergers' res. deuce on an. other occasion, but by the front door. He said that April L laow, Mra, Phelps left his home, going to her mother s and taking the baby with her. The same day her suit for divorce was filed. Asked if he had made an effort to see her at her mother's, Phelps answered in the affirmative. He was unsuccessful, having been restrained by court order which Mrs. Phelps procured.' An effort by Phelps' attorney to get this restraining order admitted in evidence produced a long debate between R. II. Olmstead and B. Q. Uuruank, the opposing attorneys, and Judge Sears ruled It out for a time. Tho last question asked Phelps on direct examination was this; What etfect on you did Berbers taking your wife automobile riding, you seeing her leave his house by the back door and again by the Iront door when the curtains had been pulled down, her leaving your home and taking your baby with her to mother's, where it contracted measles and died, what effect did these things have on you?" To this Phelps made answer: Constant worry, a nervoua breakdown, rrom which i have not yet recovered and which caused my leaving my position with the Krug theater and going on the road.

HARRIMAN LINE SHOWS GAIN Union Paclflo Has Been Forging to tha Fore During; Present Fiscal Year, Financial men expect that the Increase in the year's surplus for the common stock of the Union Paclflo will be approximately 18.1a par cent as compared with a surplus of 17 W per cent for the same period a year ago. This percentage may be somewhat reduced by further conversion of bonds, the estimate being based on the 216.G7t,S0O stock outstanding May 21. If the estimate made tor the present year holds good It will mean a gain ot $11 for each share. Net earnings for nine months of the cur rent year were $31,090,253, which Is an In crease ot $l.P09,$7Q over the same period of 1000. A relatively poor showing was made In March, as there was a decrease of $390,380 in the net for the month. This was due almost entirely to washouts and expenses which offset tike big gain of $986,304 in gross earnings.

DO YOU want your family under the supervision of a National Health Bureau controlled by the political doctors? .Even now the American Medical Association, which denies that it is using "lobbying" methods, has a letter out to its members, written on the official letterhead of its 'Committee on Medical Legislation" under date of May 10th, 1910, from which we quote the following: Dear Doctor: A proposition to establish a Department of Health with a Secretary in the Cabi net of the President, is now pending in Congress (Owen BUI, S. 6049). The Con gressional elections are to occur within a few months. It is, therefore, of the highest importance ...... that you at once take the necessary steps (1) To secure as delegate from your county to your Congressional nominating conventions of ALL parties, men who are in favor of establishing a National Depart ment of Health with a Secretary in the Cabinet ..... . . . ; (2) To secure, if possible, a definite promise from each candidate for Congress to support such a measure, if elected The position of all candidates, what ever it may be, should be made known to the electors BEFORE THE NOMINA- . TIONS ARE MADE i (3) To secure the adoption of a plank in favor of a Department of Public Health in the platform of each political convention ...... Concerning this letter on proposed legislation the NeWjYork Herald of May 25th says editorially: "Standard Oil is a puling infant in the way of a trust compared with the gigantic combine for which these doctors are working. It would create a monopoly more odious than was ever before conceived, one which would touch and control the life of the people at a thousand points of contact, and the most audacious feature of all would impose the cost of its own support upon the country to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Some notion of what this trust would be at the start Heaven only knows what it might not be made to include when once firmly established as part of the federal govern ment! may be gleaned from the statement made by one of its promoters as reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It would control hygiene, sanitation, food, educa tion, immigration, public and private relief. labor conditions end a dozen other things, besides research laboratories and equipment In other words, the American people through their government would be engaged in experimentation upon living animals vivisection. Nothing so needless, nothing so audacious in the way of a trust was ever before conceived, much less proposed to be incorporated into the government."
