SyV'- l ::!: Architects Named in Connection With Building Charges Members of Legislature Say Willis, Craddock and Davey Are Men Re ferred To in Statement, (From a Staff Correspondent ) MNCOLN, Neb., March .-Speclal Telegram.) The three Omaha architects to whom George Berllnghoff, state archi tect, was referring when he said there was a conspiracy to drive him out oT of fice were Lloyd D. Willis, T. It. Craddock and J. Jeffrey Davey. Davey and 'Willis are said to have been Interested In the case because they were candidates for the position which Berllnghoff has held for th last twelve years. He has not accused these three men himself, but members of the legislature say that they are the men who have been backing the members of both houses who, after examining the condition of various state buildings. ' have arked an Investigation of Berllnghoff. A report Is expected In the house this aft ernoon from the committee on lends and buildings and It will second the senate com mittee In asking an Investigation. One member of the Douglas county delegation who is also a member of this committee stated this afternoon: "Berllnghoff has been rightfully accused of carelessness. I know myself that he has been drawing 14 per cent as supervisor and architect of the new addition to th deaf Institute In Omaha and he has visited it once during the course of construction. A contractor from outside of the state got the work to do. There may be a reason for that, how ever, aa hardly a member of the Omaha Builders' exchange will figure on Berllng hoffs work." "Any suggestion that I was a party to the conspiracy which George A. Berllng hoff, state architect, charges three Omaha architects entered against him and his work. 1 obviously preposterous," said J. J. Davey, an Omaha architect, Monday. "At the time that squabble was on I was in Wyoming and for a considerable time afterward. I have never seen the work on the state building referred to and know nothing whatever about It." Loss From Failure of Kansas City Firm Is Quarter Million Three Banks Are Among the Creditors of the Perry C. Smith Grain Company. KANSAS CITY, March 20.-Speculation in wheat by perry C. 8ml th, aged 26 years, who succeeded hi father on the latter's death, as head of the Perry C. Smith Grain company caused the failure of that com pany. The announcement that the company had suspended was made on the Board of Trade Saturday. Today Harry T. Fow ler qualified with a bond of $300,000 as asslgnre. Heavy purchases of wheat for shipment--! to other cities tell the story. Instead of taking Ills earlier losses young Smith tried to ' recuperate and before he realized the position ot the firm It had failed. Creditors said today that the failure would cause a loss of I.'jO.OhO. Three banks In Kansas City are said to have been caught heavily.

Cincinnati Judge Decides Against Affidavits of Cox Court Holds that Charge of Prejudice Against Judge Gorman Will Not Lie in Hamilton County. CINCINNATI. March M.-After holding that the court of common pleas of Hamil ton county had no authority to rule whether the affidavit of "bias and preju dice" filed by George B. Cox against Judge Frank Gorman was sufficient to swear that Jurist off the bench, Judge Charles J. Hunt today took a step that probably will mean further delay In bringing Cox to trial on the. Indictment for perjury. After reading his decision, which virtu ally threw the affidavit out of court. Judge Hunt announced that entry of the decision would not be made until the attorneys for Cox determined whether to bring manda mus proceedings to compel Hunt to rule on the affidavits. Henrjr T. Hunt, prosecuting atlorpey. contended iliat the fil .g of mandamus proceedings would not prevent Judge Gor man from taking charge of the Cox per jury prooceedlngs and that case could be carried on while mandamus proceedings, if any be filed, are pending. Judge Hunt's decision was that the stat ute providing for the filing of prejudice affidavits to swear judges off the bench Is so framed that It applies to other counties of Ohio, but not to Hamilton county. He therefore refused to act on the Cox affi davit. ' Judge Hunt suggested that If there was , any question whether he had power to act i on the affidavit a mandamus proceeding should be brought In an effort to have the upper courts determine whether the law does apply to Hamilton county. He found that "the affidavit is sufficient In law and in faci to give the supervising i Judge of the common pleas court Jurlsdlc ! tlon to act, but in Hamilton county there Is , no supervising Judge."

Tillotson Is a unlet, unassuming person, but when stirred to action he Is capable of dolag big things when it Conies to a matter of pro tecting himself and family. He started one of the most Important Investigation In the country when he filed charges of pernicious poirtl tal activity against Postmaster Thomas. He has every reason to believe that he has made a good cane against the postmaster, but even If he has not he has accom plished good In other directions; he liss put a stop to the activity of, i. titer postmasters w ho have watched tlilh case with conMderablr tremb ling. Mr. Tit!oion lias been in the ser vice twinty-three ars, working under fire po.-tmaruis. and never having trouble with any excrpt Thomas, who reduced him In ia:ik because he refused to bow to the postinasler political demands. Thiough long years , of haid work Mr. Tillotson has established a com fortable home on Foarler avlu. and he U I he had of a happy family circle.

"We have every reason to believe thst a substantial case In made against Postmas ter Thomas," say Attorney Franklin A. Shotwell. representing Dan W. Tillotson, who lodged the charge of pernicious po litical practice against the Omaha naaby. "Postmaster Thomas may Insist that he did not receive political contributions through V. A. Kelley, and he may put up the defense that disgruntled subordi nates conspired to remove him from office, but neither of these should have any effect In face of the evidence produced by Kel ley, Conno.-an. Woodard, Burger, Tillotson and others. The conspiracy defense Is not tenable for . the reason that at the Urns Tlllotwm .Jh;-! hls charge he had talked to but two. other rerson. "Whatever disposition is made ot tha case by the president It I bound to have a good Influence over the country In gen eral, for it will, serve to break up the po litical activities1 at postmasters.

In a way this organization la nothing short of a trust. "It would not surprio me. either, if the civil service commission investigated the conduct of other postmasters who attended the Thomas contribution in the federal building before th last election, and who made up a jackpot for campaign purposes.

(Hpoclal.) The overwhelming presence of statuesque and distinguished democracy In the jersons of Champ Clark, Senator Owen. Senator Kern, Governor Shafroth, W. J. Mryan and others was altogether too much for th Nebraska legislators today and after a feeble eifort In each house to attend to business they gave It up and adjourned for the day. Kvery ort of democracy mil itant, rampant and reactionary was rep resented all day In the crowds around the state house and the air was so contaglouslv infected with the spirit of oratory that no real work was possible. The, house had set as a special order th five good roads bills, which were drawn up by the Joint committee on highway leg islation. The first one of these, II. it. :, came up for distusslon. Mlckissick moved to Indefinitely postpone It. and while that question wits being debated the house took a recess to hear the addresses delivered by Champ Clark, John W. Kern, Robert Owen and tiovernor John Shafroth of Colorado. The senate passed one bill, S. V. 31.1, In troduced by Brown of Lancaster, and pro viding for tho filing of articles of incor poration by building and loan associations as la done by other corporations. A number of bills were reported out for the general file by the committee and the following were Indefinitely postponed: 8. F. 317, by Reagan, providing for a rhangechange In the law regarding th appointment of administrators. 8.

Senator Albert Introduced a resolution In opposition this afternoon and It was laid over one day. Albert explained his action afterward by saying that the former action was hastily taken and that he was out of th city at ths time and would have fought It If he had been given an opportunity. The resolution la a followst "Whereas, This country la committed to the doctrine of a protective tariff to an- extent which render any discussion of the relative merits of that doctrine and free trade purely academic; and, Whereas, Tt at doctrine rests upon th proposition that our Industries should be protected against foreign competition; and, "Whereas, The prime requisite of a pro tective tariff Is that It should be so ad justed as to oterate Justly and equitably, giving to each his Just share ot Us bene fits and imposing upon each his Just shar of Its burdens; and, "Whereas, An early revision of our tariff laws Is confidently expected and In sistently demanded by our people. Irre spective of party. In the hope that a more Just and equitable distribution of Its ben efits and burdens may be seemed; and, "Whereas, To secure such results. It is essential that the country should be considered as a whole, that the Industries, pursuits and economic conditions of each section considered, and that the plan adopted should b general and comprehen sive, and not special nor limited to any particular section or Industry; and "Whereas, The proposed reciprocity treaty betweeen the Dominion of Canada and thla country contemplates a removal of the tariff on grain and live stock Imported from that country, without any compensatory advantages to our farmers and stockralsers. thereby operating as a change in our tariff policy, special in Its nature and with respect only to the prod ucts of our farms; "Therefore, Resolved: First That it Is the sense of thla body that th ratifica tion of uch treaty should io deferred until such tlrne aa the said revision of our tarlf Is undertaken, and should be considered as a pail of and In conectlon therewith, and that the said treaty should nut be ratified unk-ss a plan of revision can be. agreed upon and adopted -which scales down and adjusts th duty upon other product In such a way as to com pensate our farmers and stockmen for the removal of the duty on their products.
