"Dont worry" SAID member OF tho coun-
Gil investigating committee to THE BEE rep
resentative to-day, "you may find us slow,
but my word for 1t, you'll find US sure We
are going to the bottom of the charges, IL
matters not whom the shoe pinches and
from the squirming manifest In certain
quarters take it tho guilty are trembling.
In my experience have found that there is
always fire where there is smoke, and this
will prove no exception to the rule. Joe
Burns would not make tho open charges he
has unless he was conscious of his ability to
prove them. BY the way, the committee
held its first official meeting this morning,
but owing to the absence of Councilman
Dean, who is In Chicago. but little was done.
can say, however, that Councilman Hamil-
ton reported that an expert accountant had
been secured, and that he will COM
mcnce his investigation of the books
early during the coming week. The
committee will sit Monday next for
the purpose of taking testimony on the vari-
GUS charges, and If you or the public imagine
that boodling and boodlers will be tolerated
among the aldermanic autocrats of Lincoln,
You will find yourselves very much mistaken.
l see it has been stated that the old claim OF
Humphrey Bros. was denied by the council
some time during by-gone days. Let me
give you pointer. That claim bobbed up
lowed and, what's more, 1t was cleverly dis
counted by Mr. Meyer, at present q member
of the city council. When The BEE first
took up the Burns charges there was an un-
easy lot OF councilmen, and uneasiness still
exists even among some of the ex-officio
members. Lightning will strike before the
seancc closes and mind your eye and be on
hand when the time comes"
