SENATE TO KILL 8 "O'CLOCK LAW
In a calm, deliberate manner Special At
torn y 5lvester R. Rush yesterday leld
bare the Inside working 4 of the Western
CUtle and Ijind corporation, much after
the fsshlon of a seasoned tiurgeon in mak
ing a long, deep Incision. In the Introduc
tion of documentary evidence h Rave the
Jury In the fnlted States district court a
connected working Idea of the methods
en-ployed by the defendanta. Benjamin M.
Fox. Georg F Townscnd and W. K
Miles. In rounding up the straw entrymen
and manipulating affairs to satisfy their
corporate greed for more land. This testi
mony. It appears, will serve to demolish
the claim of the defens earlier In the
trial that the prosecution could not sustain
the charge of conspiracy In the Indictment.
History of Traanect Ions.
Vnder fire of objections from Atorney
William F. Gurley. counsel for the defense.
Atorney Bush Introduced about twenty
five leters written by Attorney W. P.
Miles to George E. Townaend, then presi
dent of the Western Cattle and 1-a.nd com
psjid, and these covered practically all of
the transactions of the company from the
time of the roundup of the fake home
steaders to the contest of claims designed
ter relieve undesirable entrymen of their
holdings. The letters were read to the
Jury, taking up a greater part of tTTe
time of the afternoon session of oourt.
In truth the letters from Miles to Town-
send furnish almost a complete history of
the fraud case Insofar as the prosecution
concerned. According to these letters II
was apparent that straw homesteaders
were needed by the company to take up
land which they needed to fill out the Fix
ranch, In order to head off others who
were really anxious for homesteads and
would be In the way of the Western Cattle
and I .and corporation scheme to Increase
Its holdings In Deuel county. It was there
fore arranged to send a delegation of straw
entrymen to the land office at Mdney,
Cheyenne county, Nebraska.
Entrymen' Expenses Paid.
The expenses of the strawmen were paid
from Omaha to Hldney and they were fur
nished In most Instances, with the neces
sary fees, by Mr. Townsend. Upon arriving
at Sidney they were herded Into the office
of Attorney Miles, who had previously se
lected the lands each was to enter upon,
filling the descriptions of these lands In the
entry blanks. None of the strawmen at
that time knew where his land was located,
and Some never did know.
After locating the entrymen on the lands
they coveted the company then set about to
further their scheme by contesting certain
claims. The legal end of all this procedure
was handled by Attorney Miles, according
to the letters Introduced In evidence.
These letters cover practically every phase
of the alleged land grab, winding up with
an appeal from Miles to Townsend for fees
for his services. He said In his last letter
that he would be pleased to receive a part
of the money If the company could not
pay him the whole amount agreed upon,
which was something like KS0.
The fore part of the day In court was
taken up examining the balance of the
straw entrymen and all told the same
story of how they were taken to Sidney,
expenses paid, and steered into the land
offle without knowing exactly whatt hey
were to. do.
H docs not appear that the case will be
concluded soon. The prosecution has not
finished and the number of witnesses to
be put on b ythe defense will largely de
pend on what the prosecution has accom
plished toward Its end. The case Is not
spectacular In any way, but It is very In
teresting. ,

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. V-ffpeclal Tele
gram. ) Superintendent M. S. Poulson of
the Antl-Sulnon league was denounced In
the lobby by Grossman of Douglas as
"liar" and a "iMrly whelp" this morning
In the hearing t f the gallery and a crowd
of members. Poulson was standing near
the gate when Grossman came from his
seat carrying in his hand an open letter.
He waved this belligerently In Poulson's
fare and wanted to know if It was his sig
nature. The letter la said to have contained a
statement that Grossman is a brewery
representative and was sent to Grossman
by the anti-saloon workers In an effort
to make him forsake his alleged evil
ways.
Poulson could not but admit the soft
Impeachment and Grossman rubbed his
nose with the letter and called him In
sulting names.
Sergeant-at-Arms Kelley took Poulson
by the arm and led him away from the
gate, while Leidlgh of Otoe shouted to
Grossman to "biff him In the slats."
Grossman retired and calmed himself with
difficulty and lx-ldigh, who Is a strong
anti-county o,ttonist, went back to his
seat. A few minutes later Leidlgh re
ceived a note signed with Poulson's name
and asking for an Immediate Interview in
the lobby. Leidlgh carefully took off bis
glasses, took a deep breath and started
forth to clean out the reformer from the
state house. He found In the lobby, how
ever, that the note had been sent by his
Jocular colleagues and Poulson had long
since vanished.

resolution, waa debated Monday and re
ferred to the committee on agriculture. It
made a plea for Instructions) to the Ne

protect Nebraska farmers against Canadian

In regard to temperance leglslntlon. The
house Is passing everything that rom?
along and the senate committee to which
these hills are referred Is prepared to
shelve everything. Today the senate com
mlttee ordered defeat of a very Innocent
bill on the theory that there Is no demand

City Appropriates Wntrr.
That the city Is eteallng millions of

To Remove Tovrnahlp Officers.
Amendment of the state removal law Is
proposed In a bill by Senator Wilson of
Clinton, which would make the law In
clude all elective and appointive county

this Is to have It so arranged that con

account for funds, etc.
Senator Ream of Mahaska Introduced a

boards of supervisors to arrange for pay

no alternative. However, theie hae been
no accusations, as nn h, which would make

plication In the contest of the disposal of
the IJ.onnflfiO res due of the estate of Mrs
Mary Baker Glover Kddy. founder of th
Christian Science denomination. Is threatened.
Oeoige W. Baker of thia city, eon of a
deceased brother of Mrs. F.ddy, has de
cided to take steps to determine what he
considers Ills rights In the matter. Mi.
Baker's attorneys, Taggart. Tuttle, Bur
roughs and Wyman, of Manchester, today
notified the Merrimack county superior
court that on February 11 they will file a
petition asking permission fur Mr. Baker
to Intervene in the suit now pending In
that court, brought bv George W. Glover
of Lead. S. IV, Mrs. Kddy's son. and Dr.
K. J. Foster F.ddy of Waterhury, Vt .
against Henry M. Baker, executor of the
F.ddy estate.
In this suit the claim Is set up tha' the
portion of Mrs. Kddy's will leaving the
residue of her estate to the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, of Bolton. Is Invalid
because of certain New Hampshire and
Massachusetts statutes forbidding tha he
quest of more than a speclf'cd amount to
any single church.
Mr. Baker's petition, the attorneys states,
will be based on the Claim that If the
court shall declare thla bequest Invalid,
then George W. Baker will Inherit the
residuary estate as next of kin. Mr.
Baker will maintain, say his lawyers, that
George Glover and Dr. Foster Kdily for
feited their rights of Inheritance when they
signed a contract by which the "next
friends" proceeding of 1WT against Mrs.
Kddy were settled. I'nder Ihle contract
they received a financial consideration and
agreed not to contest Mrs. Kddy's will.

In the house an exactly opposite course
was taken in regard to house file No. 2, by
Representative Klay, another Oregon plan i
bill substantially like the Smith bill
was brought up and presciiteu u.- it.u...,
who argued that It was a step In the
direction of giving to the people the right
of selection of their senators without
waiting for the slow process of changing
the federal constitution. There was no
discussion in opposition to the same and
It was passed, eighty-two to eighteen. All
of the eighteen votes In opposition were
cast by republicans.
The house then took up the Harding
special primary bill and It was discussed.
Harding had declared himself a convert
to the principle of direct election of sena

of the state. An afternoon session was ar
ranged to care for the discussion on this
bill. .'

"Rupture Is not a tear or breach In the
abdominal wall as commonly supposed, but
Is the stretching or dilating of a natural
opening." said F. H. Seeley of Chicago,
who Is now at the Henahaw hotel and will
remain In Omaha several days.
"The Spermatic Shield Truss as now used
and approved by. the United States govern
ment, will not only retain any case of
rupture perfectly, affording Immediate and
complete relief, but closes the opening In
ten days on the average case, producing
results without surgery or harmful In
jections. Mr. Seeley has documentery ref
erences from government, Washington, D.
C, for Inspection. All charity cases with
out charge, or any on Interested will be
shown the truss or fitted If desired.
