VICTORY FOR HE A, P. A.
Bill Giving Them Control OF Omaha's Fire
aud Police Departments Passed over
the Governors Veto.

Omaha, Neb.. April 3.A special to the
Bee from Lincoln says:
The bill which will place Omaha's fire and
police department in the hands of the A.
=. A. passed the legislature to-day, over
the governors veto. The measure pro-
vides that the governor attorney general
and commissioner OF public lands and
buildings shall appoint the persons who
shall constitute the omaha fire and police
commission two of whom may be of the
same party. The attorney general and
commissioner of public lands and buildings
are A. L. AS Every business man of
prominence of Omaha protested against the
measure, since 1t cuts the MAYOR of the
city off from all participation in the con-
troll of city affairs. The police commission
at present is non-partsan body.
when the bill came up. NJ. O. Ricketts,
read from an editorial IN an Omaha paper,
which said that a policeman's club was
held over the heads of witnesses to prevent
them from testifying before the pending in
vestgaton.
Ricketts, said that the same policeman's $
club prevented Omaha from giving Tom
Majors 1900 majority for governor last fall.
When the bill passed the house, there en-
sued scene of widest confusion. Tom
Majors ,sprang into the center of the aisle
n wild yell The lobby joined and then be-
gan to sing, We'll hang JEFF Davis to a
sour apple tree
All Omaha is indignant over the
result and will probably carry the matter

keys tsed.

Springfield. Ill. April 3.-The postoffice
here was robbed of about $1,000 worth OF
stamps and silverware to-day The rob-
berry was committed about noon, while
Postmaster Ridgely was at dinner. The
robbery was not discovered until 5 o'cock
and those implicated have so far covered
up their tracks. Access was gained 10 the
vault by the use of duplicate keys. The
vault is located In tho postinas sters private
Office, and the combination is never turned
except at night. In order to secure en-
trance to the vault. two keys had 10 be
used. one to open the spring lock on the
door of the Office and the other to the inner
door Of the vault. Both OF these doors
were locked when Mr.. Ridgely returned 10
the Office after lunch.
Besides the stamps Mr.. Rldgely had
stored in the vault his daughters wedding
presents, valued at $1,000. The. stamps ana
silverware would make an enormous pack,
age. and Il is hard TO conceive of method
to take them from the building In broad
daylight without observation. IL was b
O'Clock when Assistant Postmaster McMur-
ply had occasion TO 70 to the vault for
stamps. He found the Interior OF the vault
IN Wild disorder and everything of value
removed. This was the first intimation that
the place had been looted,
MIR. Ridgely, until a few days ago. had
about $40 900 in cash in the vault and the
theory Is advanced that the thieves had
some intimation of this and that they were
after IL. The work is no doubt that of eN-

for fully week IN order to secure their
keys, as the only opportunity they coull

Assaulted by Ex-Deputy Recorder OF
Voters ThistIewait.

Fred w Green. travelling circulator for
the Kansas City World, was assaulted
without warning on West Ninth street at
a late hour last night by l.. H. Thlstlewait.
ex-deputy recorder OF voters, as the out
come of a controversy over the mention
Of ex-Deputy Recorder Fred Fleming's
name In the World. Thistewat having
claimed in previous controversy with
Green that the bringing Of Fleming into
prominence In connection with election
matters might only serve to make the cases
against Owsiey and Deputy Brlstow all the
harder to combat.
Green was knocked down and cash was
cut over his right eye. The assault occurred
in front of Flanders saloon and Green
says that he ran into the place for pro-
lection as Thistlewait was accompanied
by friend and he was alone lie says
that Thlstlewait drew mis- revolver in
Flanders place and told the bartender not
to Interfere At that iuncturc, he also said
passers-by entered the place, being at
tracted by the loud words that were be-
ing exchanged, and Thistewait put away
his weapon. Green then left the place
with his wound bleeding. lie was not very
severely hurt
Regarding the assault, Green subsequent-
~ said:
u was Mt Huckett's place. on Wyandotte
street, when Thistlewait and friend en-
tered, and Thlstlewait at once
began to quarrel with me regarding Flem-
ing, who is personal friend of mine. He
alluded TO Fleming in a vile manner and
said that II Fleminc's name was dropped
tt would be a great deal better for Owsley
and Brstow The cases against them
could be easier beaten, he said, If Flem-
ing was not drawn into the fight, as Flem-
ing was aware of things that he had thus
far been silent about. Then he became very
violent in his language regarding Fleming.
and | resented it. as | consider Mr.. F'lem-
ing a gentleman and a friend of mine. I
told him | would not listen to any more OF
his abuse and left the place going over to
point on Main street where | had an
engagement. Afterwards ] was walking
west on Ninth street, when, suddenly,
without warning, ! was struck by someone
who leaped out of a dark way and was
knocked down. ] recovered myself. saw my
assailant was Thistlewait. and that some
one was with him, and ran into Flanders
place for protection. Thistlewait followed,
and, as the bartender was inclined to take
my part. he pulled gun on him. and told
him not TO interfere with his business
Meanwhile ! had seized chair. with the
intention OF, defending myself with it as
best L could. Just then some people en-
tered. ,Thistewat put up his gun and I
hurried away from the place"
