Omaha's A. p, A. Police Board
Makes a Demand on the
Regular ROard.

OMAHA, Aug. 14.-It now looks as il
q conflict is inevitable between the
Omaha police force and the A. P. A
faction which claims authority under
the recent law to appoint a new police
force. Last night the indications
were that q compromise was probable,
but the effort Of citizens who deplore
the present strife to persuade the A.
P. A. to submit the controversy to the
supreme court were Of no avail. The
A. P. A. board is appointing its force
tonight. and assert they will take
possession of city property by force on
Wednesday. It is stated unof1cially
today that those Of the present police
men and firemen who do not notify
the new board by Wednesday that
they will hold themselves subject to
the orders OF the To- board will re-
ceive little consideration when the
new board commences to discharge the
duties Of its office.
Police headquarters resemble. bar
racks today. The disquieting rumors
which r flying around, according to
the police, are the basis for the pre-
caution taken In protecting the head
quarters from assault aud capture in
true feudal style. twenty-five police
men are ON hand to give assaulting
party q warm reception. The police
report that there is no more q to
expect IN attacking party now than
there was q few weeks ago, except that
some A. p. A. leaders claim that Judge
Hopewell's decision places the new
board in possession of the department,
and it is expected the board will de-
mand possession. There may be
trouble.
The A. p. A. police commission issued
q manifesto late tonight, calling on the
regular police commission to surrender
the city property. No reply was made
to them.

Mrs. Lease on Her Powers.

Mrs. Lease confides to a reporter that
she has known for good while that she
possessed magnetic or hypnotic powers,
and that she attributes her success as a
public speaker largely to the exercise of
the power. She says that on one occasion,
while addressing an audience in Iowa, she
caught the eye of a well known Republican
and hypnotized him so that he came upon
the platform, and under her questioning
made a speech corroborating and indors-
ing all she had said. A woman with SO
much personal magnetism as that ought
not to be at large.-Indianapo Journal.
