Sylvester II. Rush, specint assistant to
the Cnllcd States attorney' general, ac
cused by a discharged member of a fed
eral grand Jury of asking loading ques
tions and Imposing upon wltnwrcs In tho
case, of the government against "tho
Florida Fruit Lands company, vigorously
denies tho allegations and shows tliUt
such evidence was' not supported by any
of tho other members of the federal grand
Jury which had charge of the Investiga
tion. The Florida Fruit lands company In
cluded among the 11,000 people who
taught contracts ut $210 each, many
prominent Nebraska pcdplc, and there are
a number of Omahans who are nnxlotti
that their purchase of the land bo not
mentioned. While there are scores of
these purchasers In tho state, only a few
of them were, called before the grand
jury at Kansas City to testify In tho case.
Soma of the witnesses who were subpoe
naed to testify at the hearing there were
William Jloyer, Seward; Itobert Small,
rhadron; Julia C. Vaughn, 417 Kamgo
block, Omaha; M. K. Shipley, Hooper.
Vnst Hum Collected.
More than :,000,000 was collected by
the officers of the company on these
contracts, which wcro payable In Install
ments, when the government brought tho
case before the federal grand Jury, and
tho Indictments wore returned, It Is said,
Tho suit of the government, charges the
eight officers of the company who were
Indicted, with having used tho malls for
fraudulent purposes, and With having
conspired to violate tho federal statuto
prohibiting lotteries. Advertising Mtcra
ture sent out by the officers of tho. Flor
ida Fruit Lands company, represented
thai tie land, though under water, was
to bo drained by tho sUto of'Florlda, and
represented thut the company held a
contract ' whereby the state of" Florida
would drain the land, and tho work would
be completed about the time or tho draw
ing. After tho contracts for tho 150,000
acres of laud had been sold to tho poo
Pjc, a drawing was held, and tracts
awarded to the holders of tho contracts.
These "farina" varied In size from 10 to
W0 acres, Whllo tho holders of the con
tracts for 'the land were scattered from
California to Pennsylvania, muny of them
were sold throughout Nebraska nnd Iown.
W. 8. Brooks of Omaha Is said lo have
been the agent of the company, and sold
many of tho contracts In this territory,
lie 1ms not been Indicted.
IllaehMrRed Juror.
George II. Ktimpf, the discharged fed
era! grand Juror who made tho charges
asalntct 8. It. Hush, the government at
torney, wag tho only member of the
panel who testified that the attorney had
used Improper methods In examining
Witnesses.
Though ho staled on tho witness stand
that the reason for his leaving tho Jury
was obnoxious conduct of tho govern
ment attorney, he signed a. request at tho
time ho was dismissed saying that his
health and business were such that he
could not servo In tho case. Other mem
ber of the Jury testified that JCumpf
had complained to them of his health and
said that his business demanded his at
tentlon. They further stated that he
had not mado any, charges of misconduct
of the attorney In tho case, to them,
and that eo far as they could etc, the
procedure was very fair on tho part of
the government attorneys. When one of
the attorneyH In the caso becnma III
Saturday, Judge Youmans, sitting In the
case, granted a request to submit the
Pleading In tho case by brief. Tho briefs
of both tho government and tho defense

Declare Emergency
Exists on State of
City Hall Boilers
'-uy commissioners wlr. declare an
emergency at tho city hall and an ordi
nance appropriating Ntf.OOO to repair the
holler plants will bo drafted. Tho boilers
have been used without rcnalra for
twenty years. Tho Boo Publishing com
pany proposed to heat the city hall from
Its plant at a figure which would not
have equalled tho cost of rennlru for nn.
proximately ten years, but this proposal
was recently withdrawn. beamm h.
council had taken no action on the mat
ter. Following the executive committee
meeting of tho city commission at which
tho emergency ordlnanco was agreed
upon, Commissioner C. II. Wlthnell said!
"It will rcnlly reaulrn tM.000 to nut tii
old boilers In good condition, but wo plan
to KCt J1S.O0O from Whatever fumla tnnv
be available, moko only necessary repairs
mis year, ana complete tho remodeling
next year. Tho council could uao $30,000
to advantage annually in upkeep at -tho
city hall."
It him not been decided out of which
fund tho J1S.0CO Will bo taken. All mn,.
jnlsslonera aro Pinched for money In tholr
soverai department and declare they
cannot carry on their work through tho
wholo year on any lets than they now
have. It Is probable that all city funds
win b pared a little to mako up tho
sum necessary to repair tho worn-out
boilers.
