He May Make It HOT Tor Certain far-
ties-Schaak Suspended.
CHICAGO, June 3.-The many contradictory
confessions of the imprisoned horse thief
Woodruff, alias Black, regarding the Cronin
mystery were capped by brand new narra-
tive from him regarding the affair. During
the inquest Police Captain Schaak who was
was on the witness stand had testified as to
the investigations which followed the arrest
of Woodruff for horse stealing and retold the
whole OF W00druf's varied stories about the
men whom he claimed were named King
aud Fairburn, snd the carrying off of a
woman's body IN trunk. When the cap
tain was asked If he had any recent CONVEX
sation with Woodruff, he said
Woodruff sent for me the day the grand
jury was in session on this case and we went
together into private room AZ the jail.
Woodruff went on to say that there were q
good many things he had not told about the
case. He continued by saying he was in q
saloon one afternoon with King and Fair
burn when a strange man entered and took
King aside. Woodruff SAID the man had a
big roll Of money, and that he gave some to
King and more to Fairburn. They went out
together and the strange man left them at
the door. After he had gone Woodruff said
he asked King who 1t was, and he said:
That's the great lawyer, Alexander Sulli-
van.'"
Captain Schaak added, in reply to jurors
question, that the next day after Woodruff
had been indicted for horse stealing he sent
word he would not talk any more.
The Daily News says this evening that
Woodruff this morning declared: II ain't
going to get tine worst of it, although there
are people trying to give 1t to me. | amt an
Irish Catholic, and I suppose the Irish will
try to give me the worst of it, but they had
better look out. If find they are trying to
do that I'll make some of them think hades

Captain Schaak was suspended from duty.
tonight, by Chief Hubbard for alleged dere-
LECTION in the Cronin case. The action was
taken after Schaack's examination before the
coroner's jury, and IL announced to be based
upon Schaak's neglect to summon persons
other than Mrs Conhln to ident-
ify the famous white horse rig,
and for not inquring into the where
abouts of Detectives Coughlin and Whalen
the night of May 4. Chief Hubbard tonight,
In nn interview after the suspension charged
that Schaak's course In the Cronin matter
was due to the fact that in the efforts which
had been made by Schaak's enemies to oust
him from Office Schaak had found a powerful
friend in Alexander Sullivan, and in one
case Sullivan had saved Schaak his rank and
star as q captain.

FROM THE HAWKEYE STATE.
Two Important Cases Decided by
the Supreme Court.
SWINE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
The Marshaiitown Rendering Works
Destroyed by observation-disclosures
In Session at Dubuque
Other Iowa News.
The Supreme Court.

DRs MoINEs, Ia, June Especial Tele-
gram to The BEE. THE supreme court
rendered two decisions, to day, Of more than
common interest. The first was the case of
Justice Garrett against Polk county. He
brought action to recover over eight hundred
fees in liquor cases, in which warrants were
issued and searches made but no liquor
found. The direct issue was whether the
county was liable for fees whenever con-
stables might make searches and find moth
ing. The supreme court says yes; and the
fees must be paid.
The second was that OF the Mills Publish
ing company, of this city, against the execu-
tive council to compel it TO award it con-
tract for publishing the supreme court re.
pany, Of Missouri, from doing the
work. The Mills company had put
in the lowest bid, but it was 12:42 y. m. when
their bid was in, and the bids were to close
at 12 IN. Mills & Co. raised the point that 1t
was IL o'clock until II was l. The supreme
court decided that the suit is virtually
against the state, and therefore can not be
maintained irrespective Of the point named.
The following additional decisions were
filed:
]. p. Merdith VS. Johannah and others and
j. N. Paberger, appellant; Polk district
affirmed.

The Prohips at Work.

MASON CITY, a., June 4.-lSpecial Tel
egram to The BEE. Mason City Is one of
the larger cities of Iowa where the prohibi-
tory law may be said to be working success
fully, but the prohibitionists are not yet fully
satisfied. Every druggist in the city has
published notices, asking that permit be
granted them for the sale of liquor. The
w. G. T. U. has issued q lengthy appeal to
the court and citizens Of the city against
granting them, and the following petition
will also be put in circulation:
"To john G. Sherwin, Judge of the district
court Of Cerro Gordo county: Believing
that the necessities Of the residents of Mason
City do not require the granting of many
permits, and believing that the sale of intox-
cants could be more carefully guarded and
controlled by reducing the number of licensed
drug stores, we respectfully ask that you
grant but one permit for the Incorporated
town of Mason CITY,"
This petition will undoubtedly create
much interest, but it is thought that it will
be extensively signed.

sldered him fakir. He has had men work
ing on the wells for weeks. This evening q
committee appointed to the city council,
accompanied by 500 excursionists, went to
Dawson to investigate and see for them
selves. Five wells were burning. One

Thirteenth Street Taxpayers Adyer.

tise Their Wrongs.
OMAHA, June 4-To the Editor Of THE
BEE: The long suffering citizens on the east
side of South Thirteenth street are getting
desperate Four years ago, they were put
under heavy tax Tor paving the street.
They bore the expense willingly, expecting
that at last justice would be done them;
that the ordinances requiring sidewalks to
be laid on paved streets, would be put into
effect on that street also, and that the east
side Of it would enjoy equal benefits with
the west side. Alas for the blasted hopes
Four years have passed and the west side of
Thirteenth street has enjoyed the monopoly
of travel aud of business because of the great
injustice being done to the east side by vi
olation of the ordinance, and the refusal to
on that side. Again and again we have pc
titioned the council for relief for simple
justice. But in vain, Finally, 1t seemed,
that justice, tardy as 1t may have been, will
nounced, that the sidewalk was ordered, and
would be laid in fifteen days. But
now, we understand, that the old fog
gies, who stand in the way OF all
property, do not make any investment, but
grumble and croak against every improve
ment and against high taxes, are combining
in last grand effort to prevent the much
needed Improvement and Will petition the
council tonight TO postpone the laying of the
sidewalk
Now will the council do itl Will 1t listen
to the wishes of croakers who would have
caused the city OF Omaha TO remain village
if it were within their power, or will it listen
to the wishes of live citizens, VINO have in
vested all, and In some cases more than all,
in improvements which are now Improbable! I!
Will the council discourage improvements
and encourage old-foggyismi Will the coun-
Gil persist in wronging the live citizens to
favor a few croakersi Will it coptiEue to
pile.taxes on US and prevent the possibility
of earning enough to pay themi Win it
dare to ruin us to humor the drones OF our
busy cityi We hope not. We trust not.
We hope that there are enough men in the
council TO prevent the continuation of this
injustice. but If there are not, we will want
TO know why. We have suffered long, we
have suffered much. and we are growing
desperate.
