If Penor Umantour purposed to avoid

The latter hailed the minister as "the

On ths way from tha station to an automo

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. Ona bold ele
vator receipt to secure J13U.CKX), another for
$40,000 and a third for $10.00). These banks,
while they hold receipts of an elevator com
pany for wheat In store, are confronted
with the information that there 1 a ques
tion as to the ownership of the grain. It
appears that the Smith company shipped
a great quantity of wheat out of the ele-
j vator and when the elevator company be
gan weighing up It did not have enough
wheat owned by the company to cover the
receipts held by the bank.

Omaha mechanics graduating from the
Omaha High school; and,
"Wherea, The Board of Education,
through this generous bequest, has been
enabled to establish In connection with the
Omaha High school the Edward Rosewater
scholarship of technology, the first of Its
kind ever established In connection with
a public high school tn America, If not In
the world; and,
"Whereas. The community 'Is deeply In
debted to Mr. Edward Rosewater for his
pioneer work In bringing about the organi
sation of our present school district and
for his bequest of the Edward Rosewater
scholarship of technology and for his ac
tive interest In th ecause of public educa

public service In behalf of our schools and
In appreciation .of his labors and sacrifices
made In behalf of education In general,
that the Forest school shall hereafter and
forever bear the name and be known as
the Edward Rosewater school, "

of the principle and giving the experience
of Colorado and of other states.
'Tnder the Initiative and referendum

In order to prevent the passage of laws

visions, even when the law enacted Is a

upon the constitutional provisions. In my
Judgment, would be greatly modified If the
same measures were submitted to the peo
ple for their direct approval or rejection.
The sanctity of the vote of the people
upon a measure would even effect the j
Judiciary in the consiructlon of law and I
constitutional provisions.
"The initiative and referendum laws are

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."

Pioneer Mail Carrier
Charges Against Postmaster B, F. Thomas
I'dder ordinary circumstances lan
V. 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. It was to keep this home In
tact and as free as possible from car
puiii-d by his superior. The in esiig
THINKS CASEJAS BEEN MADE
Attorney for Tillotson Is Satisfied
With the Investigation.
HE MAY INVESTIGATE OTHERS
Shot n ell gays lie Would ot Be nr.
prised If Inquiry 1s Made .Into the
Meeting; of the Nashya In
Omaha.
"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. I would
not be surprised to see this influence work
toward the Hd Of disbanding the Ne
braska Postmasters association, which
organization was formed to mutually pro
tect its members In a political way. 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.
Those who gave money are Just as liable
aa the person who engineered tha collec
tion schema."
