WAR SHIP HAS A GOOD EFFECT.
Promptly Brings Moorish OMcinls to
Time.

LONDON, July 21.-A correspondent Of the
Associated press at Tangiers writes: The
demonstration by the United States war ship,
San Francisco and Raleigh had a wonderful
effect. The continual ignoring OF the rights
and claims Of Americans had embittered the
relations between them and the natives for
some time and finally eliminated in the des-
perate assault by the Moors on the servant
of Mr.. Burke, who was carrying money to
the bank. Mr.. Burke demanded reparation,
but the Moorish foreign minister refused to
act, and the attitude of the Moorish officials
was SO overbearing that Mr.. Burke felt COM
PEELED to appeal to Washington, as has al
ready been cabled, for help to enforce his
demands. The San Francisco, by its ar
rival, 50 stirred up the Moorish officials that
the foreign minister Immediately visited
Admiral Selfridge, an honor never before
conferred upon any one. The foreigners
here are still commenting upon this unprece-
dented occurrence.
1.-The terms of the settlement of the trouble
will soon be settled" says the letter, but
the incident is being taken advantage Of to
make a display of American force at the
towns along the coast which will insure
better protection and more privileges for the
Americans and their property hereafter.
Everything possible will be done to make
such a display as will impress the Moors
with the notion that In the future all Just
claims of Americans will be backed up II

Rev. s. NJ. Perkins of Oakland, who is to
assume the pastorate Of the Christian taber-
nacle, gave a short lecture on infdelity at
the tabernacle last evening. He referred to
the several classes of infdels and said that
the really scientific and thoughtful ones
could be numbered on the four fingers of
the hand. THE most common class" said
he. are common men in every day life and
of every occupation, and honorable occupa-
lions, too. They have not the time to in
v~estigate either side of the question thor
oughly. and in order to appear scientific and
in keeping with the progress Of the world
they accept what they hear as truth and
let 1t go without investigation" He re-
ferred to the predictions Of Voltaire and
Paine that in a century the bible would be
an unread and unfamiliar book. and said
that today the building in which Voltaire
wrote the words is a great bible repository.
"Infdels may ridicule the bible" said he,
"and claim that it was not divinely in
spired. but did an infdel or anyone ever pro-
duce a book that would equal or excel it IN
moral teaching?" His entire rgument was
very forcibly put and was interspersed with
flashes of wit that kept the audience in q
good humor regardless of their belief.

FAILURE TURNS OUT A BAD ONE

Creditors of Schintx Have Little to
show for Their Money.
CHICAGO, July 21.-The failure OF Theo-
dore II. Schintz, lawyer, real estate dealer
and private banker, takes on a more serious
aspect as IL is more thoroughly investigated.
1t is now estimated that his liabilities will
approach $3.50 900. The assets have an APP
proximate value of $500 900. but they consist
almost wholly of real estate heavily encum-
bered. What makes the assignment more
distressing is that 5000 900, at a small esti-
mate, represents money obtained from Ger
mans and Bohemians Of his acquaintance in
poor or moderate circumstances, who placed
their savings with him ION deposit and re-
ceived for them either mere receipts or
nothing more ~palpable than a verbal promise
to pay a certain rate OF 'interest.

Officials of the Union Yards company are
still figuring on the proposed extension to
the Exchange building. 1t was expected that
a meeting of the directors would be called
when Mr.. Valentine arrived from Chicago,
but as a number Of these officials are out
of the city the matter is being considered
informally. A number of suggestions have
been made, but no decision has been arrived
at. In case the old part was torn down, 1t
would be necessary to provide temporary ac-
commodations for the commission men, but
in case a wing is built at the west end this
additional expense will not be necessary,
The matter will, most likely, be settled be-
fore long, as there is a demand for more
office room, which cannot be supplied in the
present structure.

LEVI nLooMFIELp BADLY cur.
Rams Against u Razor During the
Enur.n III u I.rnn IImhI

Course OF II Free Fight.
Yesterday morning. Levi Bloomfield. who
says he is a porter in a South Omaha sa-
loon, came as near being murdered as he
will perhaps ever care to. At 2 o'clock in
the mornirg he was in a crowd of men and
women who had gathered at a house on
the alley between Seventh and Eighth
avenues, near Twenty-third street. The
house is located In the immediate vicinity
Of Coyle's saloon, and the crowd had Sc
sured from that source a plentiful supply
of beer. A quarrel arose between some of
the men and the women and Bloomfield
took part in il. 1t resulted very speedily
in a genera fight, during which numerous
heads we're punched. Bloomfield received a
knock or two in the early stages OF the
trouble, but later on was struck twice by
some man or woman who was welding a
knife or razor. one cut was a dangerous
slash across the abdomen. A number of
buttons and thicknesses OF cloth turned the
course of the weapon upward, and a large
piece of skin and flesh were removed. The
other blow came into contact with his wrist
and cut to the bone. Bloomfield got out OF
the crowd and laid down on the grass. As
soon as 1t was found that he had been cut
the crowd scattered. Later some of his
friends took him in charge and called a
physician. A number of stitches were
necessary to bring the edges of the abdomi-
nal wound together. The physician stated
that If the weapon had not been detected
Bloomfield would undoubtedly have been dis
emboweled. He was able to be taken to
his home in South Omaha.
The incident served to attract additional
police attention to the locality. Yester-
day afternoon Chief of Police Canning filed
a petition in the district court, asking for a
permanent injunction restraining James
Coyle from operating a saloon and the owner
of the building, August Uehlen, from ever
permitting 1t to be used for saloon pur-
poses. A temporary injunction was granted
onl .hn 1o1nnn uroc n1pcnI atar in thH
day a raid was made on the house where the
trouble occurred, and George Levert and
seven women were arrested on the general
charge of keeping a disorderly house. They
gave the names of Fannie Fry, Lille Fos-
ter, Bertha Alexander, Stella Freeze, OIL
Keseler. Eva X. Kessler and Stella Green.
Several of the women were from Omaha and
the others live here.

tion on complaints in cases where special
taxes have been assessed up against certain

ing. Quite a number of taxpayers com
planned about the excessive charges Of City
Garbage Master Peter Lenagh.
Il. Dolphin. who owns lot IL, block 81,
alleges that the actual measurement OF the
vault does not come within one-half the
number Of cubic feet charged by Lenagh.
Ray Nye WINS lot 16, in block 6, and
through his attorneys, puts in a strong pro-
test. In his case 1t was garbage which was
charged for. The attorneys claim that the
council has no right to assess the cost of re-
moving garbage against the property.
Katie Tombrink asserts that the council
has no legal right to assess q special tax
for the removal of garbage. She further al
leges that she received no notice of such
removal as is required by law.
Theodore Olsen appears as the owner oil
four lots in Thor Place. In his complaint be
asserts that he was not notified, and that the
charges were unreasonable and exorbitant
He further claims that no night soil was
taken from one of the lots charged in the
bill. for the reason that the old vault had
been filed and a new one constructed. Mr.,
Olson then goes on to reason with the coun'
ell and asks If it Is right to charge $40 for
removing one load of refuse from a house
which rents for only $3.50 per month.
Peter Cockrell comes in with a complaint
that the garbage master sent him a bill fol
cleaning vaults on property which had no.
been occupied in four months.
X. w. Hunt appears as the owner of lot

10 notice was served on her for removing
garbage on lot Is. block 112. She further
