mm CLAYTON
IS GIVEN DISCHARGE
Democratic; Insurance Official
Believed for Borrowing of
Companies Examined.
BOARD MEMBERS ARE MUM
(Prom a StaB Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 7. Special
Telegram) C. S. Clayton, insurance
examiner since the democratic board
came into power two years ago, has
been deposed by the board, the latter
alleging .unbusinesslike conduct on
the part of Clayton in that he bor
rowed money of officials of insurance
companies when it was his duty to
examine such companies.
Clayton admits that he borrowed
over $100 of John G. Maher, president
of the Old Line company and Rees
Wilkinson of another company.' He
also made a report of the condition
of a company of which Joe Wait of
Lincoln is president, the complimen
tary part of the report being used
by the company for advertising pur
poses before the report was made to
the insurance board.
Clayton alleges that the trouble is
a personal one between himself and
Insurance Commissioner Eastham,
but just the same he will "defeat the
whole bunch this fall." The board
consists of Governor Morehead. State
Auditor Smith, and Attorney General
Reed. -
Neither Governor Morehead, the
insurance commissioner or the other
members of the board will talk. But
it is understood that they have been
suspicious that Clayton has not been
conducting himself with the decorum
required of the board in purely finan
cial matters. Other members of the
office force with Examiner Harry
Sprague will do the examining until
a new man is appointed.

SOOTH SIDE AFFAIRS
Young Robber, Disappointed
in Receiving Oasb, Comet
Back Second Time.
THEN IS FRIGHTENED AWAY
. Making good his threat that he
would be back again at 9 o'clock, a
young robber who entered the small
grocery of Mrs. Lena Alfred, 4443
South Thirteenth street, at S:15
o'clock and rifled the cash drawer,
later returned, but for some reason
escaped after he had gained the door.
Mrs. B. L. Johnson, sister of Mrs. Al
fred, was in charge of the store all
alone on the first visit, but her hus
band had returned home when the
robber made his second appearance.
Shortly after 8 o'clock two young
men, one dressed ih a black slouch
hat and a sport shirt, who wore no
coat, and the other dressed in a light
gray suit with cap to match, entered
the store. Asking the location of
"Lane" street, the taller one dressed
in a gray suit, advanced to the coun
ter, selected a cigar and then asked
for gum. He was shown to the gum
rase and failed to find the proper
brand. He received the gum, and as
he handed over 7 cents pay pulled
a small revolver at the time.
"Hands up," lie demanded.
Mrs. Johnson complied and held her
place behind the counter until the
young robber had come around into
the back and opened the cash drawer.
When he found less than half a dol
lar in small change he became very
angry.
"I've a notion to cuff your head
good," he growled. A butcher knife
was lying on the table in the rear
room at his back. He pecsed this up
and made advances on the woman.
She pleaded with him and he threw
down the knife and backed toward
the door. As he backed out he said:
"I'll be back at 9 o'clock. Better
watch for the train when it gets in
at the railroad yards." He and his pal
disappeared. Mrs. Johnson called the
police and officers were rushed to the
scene. No clue was discovered.
On the second visit the man re
turned alone. He fled up Thirteenth
street, walking rapidly north. Several
boys who were detailed by the police
to watch the store until Mr. Johnson
returned, said the man disappeared
in one of the big ravines on either side
of the street. It is believed that he
boarded a northbound street car. -
The same grocery store, occupied
by Mrs. Alfred, who is now in a hos
pital, following an operation per
formed yesterday pmorning, was rob
bed several months ago by unmasked
bandits. Mrs. Johnson lives in the
North Side and is keeping the store
in the absence of Mrs. Alfred. Mr.
Johnson was at the hospital visiting
Mrs. Alfred when the robbery oc
curred. Death of Mrs. Gilchrist.
Mrs. Richard Gilchrist, aged 12
years, widow of a well-known stock
man who died two years ago, died
Tuesday evening in Chicago. She is
survived by four sisters, Mrs. Arch
Coleman, Chicago; Mrs. A. L. Brain
ard, Los Angeles; Miss Nora Gil
christ, Omaha; Mrs. F. L, Scott, Nor
folk, and two brothers, W. F. Gil
christ, Sioux City, and C. H. Gilchrist,

Omaha in 1887. Mr. Gilchrist engaged
at once in the stock business and was

Norris Becomes Booster.
Senator George W. Norris is num
bered among the national boosters of
the Young Men's Hughes and Fair
banks club. A letter was received yes
terday from the senator by the chair
man of the educational committee of
fering hearty co-operation in the
boosting of the club.

Held to District Court !
Adam Brenza and John Sprazas,
two young men living at 3431 T street,
who were arrested charged with
breaking and entering the home of
James Bartha, 3439 T street, Tuesday
morning shortly after 11 o'clock, were
bound over to the district court by
Judge Reed under $500 bonds. In the
preliminary testimony offered by An
tonia Bartha, 16-year-old girl, who
came home while the robbers are al
leged to have been within the house
in another room, there was no men
tion made of a gun nor were either
of the two men identified.
Mrs. Helen Yasen, 18-year-old
housewife, who lives next door to the
Bartha home, positively identified
John Sprazas as one who left the
house fifteen minutes before Miss
Bartha appeared to spread the alarm.
Mrs. Yasen declared that the noise
Sprazas made locking the kitchen
door behind him caused-her to inves
tigate. Detective Allen told the court that
Adam Brenza confessed to having
been in the home. The confession
was not denied by Brenza, who was
in the court room.

Plans for Swine Show.
Advance plans for the big National

the local horse and mule barns north
of the stock yards, during Ak-Sar-Ben

Afer Garbage Haulers.
"These people have got to learn
that garbage is not to be unloaded
until they reach the end of the road at
the river's edge." Thus spake Health
Representative Henry Schmeling this
morning in police court when one
evader of the law dared to defy him
before the judge. H. Walniski, driver
of a truck for the Yoglc grocery store
at 2510 Q street, had been summoned
into court charged with dumping gar
bage in the wrong place.
"This is a free country," Walniska

HEATED REMARKS
HEARD IN SENATE
Members Quarrel Angrily Over
Owen Corrupt Practices
Measure.
ASHURST GROWS PERSONAL
Washington. Sept. 7. While the
senate was waiting yesterday on the
revenue bill conferees, the Owen cor
rupt practices bill was taken up and
made the vehicle for several hours of
acrimonious political debate. Demo
crats and republicans indulged in per
sonal exchanges and regaled their fel
low senators wjith accounts of cam
paign contributions and the rewards
given some contributors in the past.
The vote to take up the bill was S2
to 14, nine republicans voting with the
majority to consider the measure and
seven democrats voting against it.
Senator Owen, its author, tonight can
celled a speaking engagement before
the Ohio democratic convention, to
remain here and fight' for its adoption.
It probably will be taken up again be
fore noon tomorrow and the Okla
homa senator intends to keep it before
the senate until vote is secured or,
what is more probable, adjournment
is forced by the leaders. ,
Near Personal Combat.
Senators Curtis of Kansas, repub
lican, and Ashurst of Arizona, demo
crat, furnished the excitement of the
day's debate in an interchange which
looked for a few minutes as if it might
result in a personal encounter.
The bill would restrict campaign ex
penditures of candidates for the sen
ate, the house and for the presidency
and vice presidency to a greater ex
tent than existing law. Senator Cur
tis argued that such a measure passed
when a campaign is half over might
work unfairly against mm who have
already spent the stipulated amount.
He advocated a more stringent law
than that proposed and one that
would particularly restrict the use ot"
the congressional frank to prevent
senators or representatives from send
ing out campaign appeals at govern
ment expense. He read a letter from
Senator Ashurst to a constituent re
citing his record as a basis for sup
port and said he understood that 70,
000 of these had been franked out, in
violation of the privilege.
Sweetbreadi for Brains.
"If the senator charges that this is
a violation of the law' said Senator
Ashurst, when he got the floor, "he
has sweetbreads for brains." ,
He explained that his letter had
been submitted and approved by the
postmaster general and one of his as
sistants as being matter which could
be franked and told how former
President Taft, when in the Philip
pines, and Secretary of War Root ex
