A concert of more than usual in
terest was that of the Five Choirs,
presented at the Municipal audi
torium, Saturday evening. The Five
Choirs arc choral organizations from
different Catholic societies in the
city. These have been carefully
trained by Dr. R. Mills Silby, organ-i.-t
and director of music at St.
Cecilias cathedral. Those who arc
not in touch with musical condi
tions are not in a position to fully
appreciate how much Dr. Silby has
accomplished in the .short time lie
has been in Omaha.
He has not only established him
self here as a muician of high at
tainments, but as a conductor who
is also able to gain genuine .musical
it suits from the groups under his
baton, many of whom are inexperi
enced singers.
The Five Choirs contained per
sons of all ages, from tiny girls and
bays to grownups, and in the work
of the jounger, as well as that of
the oldei singers many musical ex
cellencies arc in evidence. The
voices have been carefully selected,
and there was a unity about each
member which made it the work of
one choir r::th r ll.r.n that of a

especially commendable in this chair,
as also was the clarity of phrasing,
regard for dynamics and precision

1698. He was a gunner in the ad

reerman.
That was some fight, judging
from the few modest remarks which
Peerman makes about it. He is not
much as a talker about his own ex

fingers tell something of his part in
the fray.
Gunner Peerman was manning one
of the guns of his battleship. He

Ure Announces
His Position in
City Campaign
City Commissioner Addresses
Letter to Committee of
S.000 Relative to Its
Endorsement.
The question of whether the Com
mittee of 5,000 should become merely
a tail to the "Sutton-for-mayor" kite
or continue its original program of
general law enforcement, was placed
squarely before it Saturday night
when City Commissioner Y. G. Urc,
candidate for re-election, addressed
d letter to the committee's chairman,
I-'. D. Wead. anent the present cam
paign situation.
Mr. I're recounted that he had
himself been approached at one time
to become the committee's candidate
lor mayor, but that he had expressed
the opinion that there should be no
choice of places until 1 lie personnel
of the new commission should be
known. He told of an interview
with A. L. Sutton, one of the com
mittee's candidates, in which the
latter declared that "no one can he
on my ticket, unless he is for me for
mayor.''
I believe that the assignment of
.icnartments should not be a matter
jo barter and trade for indorsement
! or support for election," said Mr.
. ure
Candidates Meet.
Mr. Ure denied flatly that he has
failed to support the administration
of Police Commissioner Ringer.
The L're letter was made public
shortly after a meeting of Candidates
Sutton, Falconer, Grim mil, Murphy
.inu ivingrr ai jiuiion s ounc. .iiuu.i
toward organization for the cam
paign was postponed until the re
turn of Commissioner Towl, the
sixth of the Committee of 5,000 slate.
Grimmel, although present at the
meeting, has not yet made the prom
ise which Sutton requires of Urc.
Neither, according to their state
ments within the last few days, have
Candidates Towl or Falconer.
The Urc letter follows:
Ure's Letter.
Mr. F. D. Wead, Chairman of
Committee of 5,000, Omaha, Xeb.
My Dear Wead: Thc question of my
attitude toward the committee of 5,000
and the attitude of the committee
toward me possibly has come to be a
matter of interest. In order that there
be no question as to the situation, I
have concluded to make a statement
to you of my understanding of it,
which you are at liberty to use as
you see fit.
You will recall saying to me that
you would use your best endeavor
to have me endorsed by the com
mittee of 5,000 on its primary slate
as the committee's candidate for
mayor. This was prior to any en
dorsement of candidates by the com
mittee. You will remember that I
said to you that I did not think any
man should take the position that he
is the only material for mayor in
the city, but thai he should be a can
didate for city commissioner, so that
when the departmental assignments
are made after election, the commis
sioners elected can elect from their
number the men best suited by train
ing and experience for the seven city
departments.
Not Opposed to Ringer.
You told me that thc committee
was unwilling to conduct the cam
paign along these lines, but wanted
a standard-bearer who would be as
sumed to be its candidate for mayor.
Not being able to agree on the policy.
I suggested that you leave me off
your slate.
For years I was the treasurer cf
your committee and I have always
been in accord with the purpose of
the organization, to-wit: Law en
forcement and Ihe best possible man
agement of public affairs for the
people.
It has been suggested that I have
not always supported Dean Ringer
in his administration of the police
department. Permit me to say that
I hold Mr. Ringer in thc highest es
teem and no one has thc right to
question his honesty, good intentions
or high ideals. But as a city com
missioner. I have and, if re-elected,
must continue to exercise independ
ent judgment on all matters that un
der the law, come before the council
for determination.
Cites Illustrations.
As an illustration: I was not 5:i
accord with Mayor Smith, Dear.
Ringer and others on the council in
the purchase of the gas plant, for
the reason that I thought we were
paying $1,500(000 too much for i-.
Therefore, I voted against its pur
chase, -notwithstanding the fact that
its purchase v.as recommer.ded by
Mayor Smith, head ot the depart
ment. Can it be said on this ac
count that I have failed to support
Mayor Smith?
Another illustration: Mr. Ringer
recommended, after a hearing, thc
discharge of John Dunn as chief oi
detectives. I felt that Mr. Ringer
was right and so voted. Mayor Smith
took an opposite view and registered
his vote against Ringer's recom
mendation. From this act, can it he
argued that Mayor Smith has not
supported Ringer?
This statement that I have not
supported Ringer is simply untrue.
Sutton's Position.
Xow it is being asked: "Will Ure
be on the slate oi thc committee ot
5,000?"
I have said to you that I would
be glad to have the endorsement,
provided it comes without promises
on my part, other than a pledge to
support the objects of the organ
ization as I have stated them.
At your suggestion. I met with
Judge Sutton last night. We talked
over the situation and he said to me:
"I will not have any man on my
ticket wh does not now pledge h:m-
! self to vote for me for mayor.
I v. n!
not make this kind of a promise.
which I regard as ill-advised and
unlawful. If the attitude of Judge
Sutton reflects the position of thc
committee, I am eliminated from
vour slate.
As I have already stated, I believe
that the assignment of departments
should not be a matter of barter and
trade for endorsement or support
for election, but should only be con
sidered after election and should be
made only after due consideration
of the qualifications of the seven
mem chosen.
For myself, as I have said to you,
T Hn nnt hefnrr I know who arc

Graft Disclosed
In Building Probe
Witnesses Tell of Paying $10.
000 in Connection With New
Chicago Union Station.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha B" Leased Mire.
Chicago, April 10. First evidence
of cold graft paid to labor agents
in Chicago building projects was civ
en the joint legislative committee to
day. The witnesses whose names arc
withheld, said $10,000 in cash was
actually paid to labor agents who
were holding up work on the Union
station building.
It was stated before the commit
tee that the $10,000 was only a small
part of the graft paid to the goug
ers and that the total sum would
run $100,000 or thereabouts. The
original estimate of the cost of the
terminal was $60,000,000, but it will
run much above that figure because
of the bribes and the heavy tribute.
Other evidences of graft involving
building projects and an apparent
system for artificial maintenance of
lumber prices were laid bare. The
committee learned that lumber prices
were kept up on the plea that "re
ductions would wipe out the" little
fellows." In the Union station gouge,
an agent appeared and asked $10,000
on the pretense that it was wanted
to help Jhe "unemployed." Thc de
mand was not met promptly and an
other agent appeared with a com
mand of but two words, "kick in."
It was then the $10,000 was prompt
ly paid over.

"Jingle Jingle" at
Gayety Theater Is
Lavish Production
One oi the most pretention shows
ot thc M'iiso'i is "Jingle Jingle," at
tli c Gayetx theater. Lavish ward
robes are provided. I.hbornte staj-e
settings arc featured. -Novel lighting
effects add to the beauty. The musi
cal numbers arc late hits that carry
the snap and dah lo m.ike an un
conscious shimmy spread over ihc
audience. ,
Two prima donnas, Stella and Dol
ly Morrissey, are one of the features
of the show. They carry the bull:
of the song numbers. Fanny Al
bn'Kht and t.orilta Ahem arc clever
sirls. although kept considerably in
the background.
Frank Anderson in "straight"
parts is one of the cleverest actors
of his kind seen on the circuit this
season. He is a big assistance to
rather mctloicre comedians in "put
ting across" their 'tuff.
Max Field and Harry O'Xral are
the comie. a combination of Jewi.sli
and Irish lines keeping the play from
gelling tiresome.
Morton Iteck and Fred Trust, "two
piano phules." unquestionably have
the leading act of the show. Their
song numbers both in their specialty
and during thc show arc the real
hits. -

Nebraska Delegation Holding
Sessions to Decide Appoint
ment Recommendations.
Washington, VD. C April 10.
(Special Telegram.) The Nebraska
t'.elegation in congress, endeavoring
to speed up decision on recommen
dations for appointments to federal
offices within the state by a night
session, adjourned Saturday night at
10 without reaching a vote. The
members will meet again Monday
afternoon at
The delegation met Saturday morn
ing in Senator Norris' office at 10
and adjourned at 1:30 in thc after
noon, in order that the house mem
bers might attend the republican
caucus.
It is said that thc time consumed
is not due to any deadlock as yet,
but is explained wholly by the fact
that the letters of endorsement for
each candidate are being read.
There is a large field of contend
ers for practically every office and
some of them have hundreds of en
dorsements sent by their supporters
to the various representatives and
Senator Norris.
Thc latter is said to have a stack
of letters and telegrams several feet
high. '

fcr and William Singer, proprietors
of he fireworks factory located inside
the city limits in violation of law and
which recently, exploded, killing six
persons, were located Saturday. They
had been fugitives since the disaster,
two weeks ago.
Both men declared their willing
ness to surrender to the proper au
thorities as soon as they were as
sured they would be released under
bail. Both are on the" verge of nerv
our collapse. So securely have they
been hidden that even their families
and relatives had no inkling of where
they were, although the police were
positive they were still in the city.
Schaffer "admitted being in the
store when the explosion occurred.
This bears out thc statement of his
nephew, who said he saw Schaffer
running out of the building after
the explosion. Schaffer denies that
fireworks were stored in the build
ing. He said a shipment of torpedoes
had arrived from the Pennsylvania
Fireworks company sooner than
expected and that- the Schaffer and
Singer storehouse in Tinley park
was full.
The bookkeeper was sent to no

and Schaffer met at an agreed point
