rows of khakl-oolored tents, arranged with
military regularity.
And the picture was a most attractive
one to civilian ees. It could be surpassed
only by ati amiy In real battle array before
the charge. On the high plateau on which
tho officers' homes are located Is the camp
headquarters. JukI below the driveway In
front are the tent of the officers of the
various commands, differing from the tents
of the enlisted men In that they are square
while tha othera are round.
Officers and men alike were kept busy
all day long getting everything snug, and
right up to the coming of darkness team
sters were hauling to the reservation the
baggage ot the various commands and the
Innumerable pieces of Impedimenta that
goes with such an encampment as this.
Visitors were not wanting, full of curiosity
of the kindliest character; but It was neces
sary to have men stationed at focal points
to keep the city folks from Intruding within
the camp lines and getting In the way.
Tha bakers' section was the only part of
the camp where anybody waa allowed to
wander at will.
This morning the camp will look aa If
It had alwaya been In possession of the
ground,- for the military men clean up aa
they go along. An Inspection will well
repay the time given to It by man, woman
or chl!ds. Should this weather hold during
the week. General Smith and the other offi
cera expect to see a great many thousand
pec pie pass through the reservation, and
ii.ssoms certain they win nut be dlsap
pointed. Omaha Is a military city, with
mighty pleasant memories of the nation's
soldiers front, away back In pioneer days
righVoown to the prosaic present.

"Oh, you John," yelled a cavalryman with
an unmistakable southern accent to a com
rade Just coming into the Fort Omaha
reservation, "Where's a bakery? We-all
want a cup of kawfee worse'n anything on
earth."
"Out yonder's some, you hungry man,"
replied ihe one addressed, and the cavalry
man and two comrades broke into a quick
step toward the food emporiums now
plentifully located at Thirtieth and Fort
Dtreeta.
A large proportion of the soldiers In camp
bout the Fort Omaha buildings got a full
dose of the heavy rain Sunday night and
were not In extra good humor Monday
morning. Yet there was joshing and fuu
galore on every hand.
Company dogs, Inquisitive visiting dogs
nd stray dogs found a heavenly resting
place roost anywhere on the reservation.
Every canine had a doxen friends anywhere
ha went, and the way he was petted, teased

surely have tickled him Into a high atate
of satisfaction.
Out an the big green parade ground a
soldier with a gun was quietly trailing an
other soldier with a stick having a Dtke

Not the smallest piece of paper or other
Utter was missed by the spearman, and
by 9 o'clock the verdant carpet waa as

CHICIAGO. Oct. I. State Senator John
Broderick, who la under irjfllctme.it charged
with giving a bribe of $2,500 to State Sen
ator Holstlaw to secure the latter'a vote
for William Lorlmer for United States sen
ator, appeared before the senatorial invest!
gating committee today and sought to
make reservations as to his testimony.
Broderick said he was willing to testify
as to , the main charges without namlna
times and places, if he could be excused
from undergoing cross-examination. He
cited the fact that, he la under Indictment
as Justifying his demand. The committee
adjourned to consider the request.
Representative Beckemeyer, when re
called, explained that a letter Inviting him
to meet Robert E. Wilson, a democratic
representative from Chicago, to discuss a
banquet to Lee O'Nell Browne, waa
"fake."
Cashier G. Newton of the State Bank of
Chicago testified that Senator D. W. Jlolst
law deposited 82,500 In tha bank on June
16, 1909. which Is the day that Holstlaw
says he received a bribe of that sum from
State Senator John Broderick.
. Michael S. Link, It waa charged by Rep-
reaentatlvS White, who waa recalled to the
stand, was willing to vote for Mr. Lorlmer
for 500. White said Representative Joseph
S. Clark told him that ha (Clark) had per
suaoed IJnk to hold out for $1,000.
Joseph uroves of Capp Point, a deroo-
cratlo. representative, testified to refusing
to vote for Lorlmer. He said Douglas Pal-
erson, former minority leader of the legls
iature, came to his room and asked if he
could vote for Mr. Lorlmer, saying at the
same time that forty or forty-two other
democrats would do so.
uroves said at the special session th
following winter he had been told by Rep
restTitative Henry Teller, a republican, that
ha (the witness) could have secured $1,000
by voting for Lorlmer. Thle answer waa
excluded and Attorney Henry Austrian an
nounced ha would summon Teller and also
Representatives Homer Shaw and Daniel
Donahue, demorcata, with whom Groves
said he had discussed the subject.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. S.-Btlrred
by the fact that the bomb explosion which
wrecked the Times plant and killed twenty
one men, and subsequent attempted dyna
miting outrages, has created an emergency
with which the police force Is finding It
self unable to cope, the city council passed
an emergency ordinance at a special meet
ing today which authorised the appoint
ment ot forty additional patrolman, ten
sergeants and one lieutenant.
These men will be used to hunt down
and Imprison or drive out of tha city, men '
who have been known to expresa commen
dation of acta of violence and othera who
have been In trouble with tha police .de
partment since tha labor troubles began
In Los Angeles several months ago.
A proposal also waa discussed to raise
the clty'a reward for the detection of th'e
bomb conspirators from $10,000 to $25,0(10.
It waa determined to maka tha reward
$10,000 for the deteotlon of each conspira
tor. The city's reward was augmented today
by an offer from the County Board of Sup
ervisors of $10,000 or $25,000. The amount
will be fixed at a meeting of the supervis
ors later today. It waa tha Intention ot
the county officials to make the county
offer of reward equal to that of tha city.
Hence It probably will be $10,000 for each
dynamiter convicted.
Seventeen Suspects Arrested.
Seventeen men ara now In the city Jail
