the strikers claim to have gained hun
dreds of recruits from the so-called strike
breaker -who remained Bt work when the
strike was railed, or came here to fill
the vacant benches. f
The strike Is not for an Increase of
a if pa, but for the principle of "collective
bargaining," as tho strikers term their
demand for recognition of the union.
The reserve force of th West Chicago
avenue police station was called to quell
a riot of SOO persons at West. Huron and
May streets. A dosen arrests were made.

declared, do not Impress him In the least.
"The police have exercised great restraint
In handling the crowds," he declared, "and
will continue to do ao. but the soolety
women and soolal workera who hope to
Intimidate the police are on the wrong
track. If they are disorderly they will be

CHICAOO. Nov. 2. Charles E. F-rbstain,
of counsel for Ire O'Nell Browne, who was
recently nciultte.l of a charge of bribing
a rlnte representative to vote for William
Lurlmer 'for I'nlted States senator, was
Indicted today, charged wtlh corrupting a
number of the Jury which cleared Browne.
The Juror In question, .Urnnt McCutchen.
and Hehry T.' Stacy, alleged go-between,
according to their stores told to State
Attorney Wayman. received $250. which
they divided equally between themselves,
for McCutchen's vote on the verdict.
The first trial of Browne resulted In a
disagreement. The second. In which the
alleged bribery la said to have figured. !n
a verdict of not guilty. Among the wit
nesses for the state were three state repre
sentatives who confessed on the stand to
being paid $1,000 each for their votes for
Lorlmer.
Immediately the case went against him
Mr. Wayman began an Investigation of
numerous rumors concerning attempts nt
ampenng with veniremen. A weeK ago
he secured a clue which led to McCutchen.
Thu latter and Stacy, It is said, disgruntled
at the small sum which they say they re
ceived, resolved to tell their stories.
i
Starr la Disappointed.
Stacy In particular was anrry. He had.
he said, expected to receive a large sum
of money for his work, as well as a politi
cal job. He waa working on a small
salary, he said, and rumors that there was
plenty of money being spent In Browne's
behalf was a temptation that he could not
resist when he found opportunity, in the
form of his friend, McCutchen, on the Jury,
knocking at his door.
According to his confession, he sought
ut State Representative Eiickson and
asked how he oottld market McCutohen's
vote.. Krlckson, Stacy said, replied that he
was not personally Interested In the Case,
but, would put. Win in touch with someone
who waa. , -
Soon afterwards, Stacy narrated, he was
Introduced to Erbstein. Meanwhile he
(Stacy) had communicated with Mr
Cutchen. The Jury was closely guarded,
but Stacy managed to arrange a code of
slcnals by which the Juror would know
whether the financial arrangements with
Erbstein had been consummated. McCutch
en received the signals, and, according to
his own story, became a partisan of
Browne's at once. He voted for acquittal
on the first ballot, and argued with others
to bring them to his side. In fact, he la
alleged to have been quite enthusiastic as
a proselyter.
Surprised at Small Par.
When the time came to realize on Mc
Cutchen's alleged perfidy, the latter and
Stacy went to Erbsteln's office, they de
clsre. They thought there would be at
least $2,000 'In cash and -easy Jobs In It,
at least, and, according to Stacy, they
could scarcely believe tholr eyes when the
lawyer gave them only $100. Later, they
state, he gave them$l!i0 more.
Stacy testlfed before the grand Jury
fl'st he made nearly ninety visits to the law
yer's office looking for money and Jobs.
Sometimes, he said. Krbsteln was "out."
sometimes he was told that "things
haven't been fixed up," or some other
excuse given. Once he waa given $10 to
take a trip to Springfield to see a certain
person about a position. No success.
There was talk about a place In the county
building, but this also came to naught.
Finally Stacy was told that the $260 was
all there waa In It for them. He was wroth.
McCutchen demurred to taking the atory to
the ststs's attorney, but Stacy said he
would go alone. McCutchen then reluc

W do not wish to be unjust to Mr.
Hitchoook, but It appears to us his de
fense Is very lam and almost amounts
to an admission of the facta charged by
Mr. Howard. He admits borrowing the
money while Bartley was treasurer, but
says he got It through Hartley's bank at
Atkinson. That waa the delicate way In
which Mr. Hartley loaned to his friends a
large amount of the state funds, as la
well known. He deposited ths money In
his bank and then the bank loaned it.
That was a delicate and very gentlemanly
way of protecting hlmsnlf and his friends.
Mr. Hitchcock admits Mr. Hartley held his
note, which "was outlawed." and which
he never did pay, though he aaya It waa
f nally act tied In some way by Mr. Met
calfe. It la a denial that amounts to an
admission of guilt. The people of Nebrsaka

"Mr. Walrath knew and approved the

Thomas H. Tibbies,
later populist candidate for vice president and then editor of the Nebraska
Independent, the official organ of the populist party in Nebraska, wrote:
"It Is with the deepest regret that the Independent lg forced to defend
the party from onslaughts made by the only daily of general eirculatton in the
state which has been considered an advocate of the fusion cause.
"The following Indictment against the course of the World-Herald for
some years is the summing up of many letters received by the Independent,
some of which indulged In serious forebodings for the future on account of
the wobblings of that paper:
" 'The World-Herald abandoned Bryan for awhile nd fought for the gold
standard.' 'The World-Herald sold part of Its editorial page to the republican
state committee In the midst of an Important campaign.' 'The World-Herald
attacked the fusion state officers without cause and made .charges against
them that even a republican investigating committee, composed of some of
the rankest partisans In the state, would not sustain. That democratic sheet
has been the apologist and defender of every republican tlilef that tbe fusion
forces hare been able to convict." 'It (World-Herald) defended the pardon of
Bolln, the parole of Bartley a thing that decent republicans repudiated and
It now attacks the populist platform in the defense of Hartley's partner.'
"These are some of the protests that have poured in on the Independent.
As many, If not more, have come from democrats as have come from popu
lists. The Independent therefore concludes thst the ground taken by some
populists that the1 democratic party Is responsible for the erratic career of
the World-Herald and that any further fusion with that party by the populists
is a disgrace and a dishonor, is not

pension bill for me, as I was In the Spanish-American
war for the period of six
yrars, five months and fifteen days, and
while In the Philippine Islands in 1U04, tit
August. I had tha misfortune to have a
paralytic stroke, and It has left roe a
cripple for life. While In. Washington in

asked him to Introduce a special bill (or
me. Before" ha even asked my name, ha
asked me what I, was getting now. and I
answered that 1 Was gwiajntf laiaee month,
and then he said that 1 was getting loir
much now, and that he could do nothing
for me. But before I left his office he
said that he would get tne a hearing be
fore the board of examiners. He said that
If 1 would go' away that I would hear from
It in a few days.
Then 1 left and want to the Hon. Mr.

but It was Introduced too late to pass,

If Mr. Hitchcock would like to go back,

ought to treat the ex-soldier batter, es

cock, Omaha. Iear Blr; It must require
a vast amount of nerve for a democrat
that pretends to fill 'he position of mem-
republican to vote for him for United
States senator under tha clrcumatancaa.
and you a democrat devoid of any re
deeming qualities In a republican's eyes.
You bring up your public record. I
have watched It all along and have seen
nothing that you have done In congreaa
or out to recommend you for the position
of senator. You lieve exercised your tal
ents In abusing and misrepresenting re
publicans much more than you havs In
the cause uc the people or good govern
ment. For tha lust two years rou could sling
your dirty froth and mud at ths Hon.
lOlmer J. Burkett, hut now that your own
party have thrown the limelight on your
dealings with Bartley, and The Bee pub
llshsd tbe record, you squirm Ilka a
whipped our and get down on your knees
and beg personally for republicans to vols
for you. . It was all very nice when you
were belching out your abuse and misrep
resentations of Senator . Burkett there
waa no mud-sllngltig then but now It Is
awful since things havs taken a turn and
you are subjected to an Investigation; you
forget the old adatre, "That what Is
aauce for the goose Is sauce for tha gan
der." My advice 1 take your medicine like a
man and don't asaums the role of a mar
tyr. With kindest regards and sympathy,
I remain yours truly,

. OMAHA. Nov. 1. Oliurrl M. Hltchcook:
Aa an unbiased spectator of tha Bartley
episode I am suspicious of your slate
men ta because you hate not called on
Uuerdon W. Wattles to tell the truth in
regard, to the matter.
Mr. Wattles stands high In this commun
ity and hla word would go with unpreju
diced people. It seems to me conclusive
evidence of your guilt that you have not
called upon Wattles publicly aad Instated
upon hla telling the truth. He could not
atund a demand of that kind from an In
nocent man.
I 1 ahall be reluctantly comnelled to be
lieve that you are guilty, unless you
tvtll yourself of this means of vindica
tion. FRANK CASU.
