WAY OF SWEARING IN VOTERS
City Clerk Intends TO Apply
Law strictly to UnreEis-
tered Citizens.

City Clerk E1bourn, having received a
number Of inquiries regarding the man
ner OF swearing in voters on election day,
has made the following statement:
ION page 966 of the complied statutes,
1901, section Is, may be found the follow
ing: THE person Offering to vote, whose
name is not on two OF, said registers, shall
furnish to said judges his afidavit "
" and shall prove before said judges,
by the af1davit or oath OF at least two
~freeholders. residents Of said precinct in
which he offers his vote, for at least one
year Immediately preceding said cleo
ton; that they know such person to be
an inhabitant and qualified voter Of said
precinct.
'In the recent init Miller contest
Judge Baxter held that the word precinct
as used In this section means not q ward.
but an election precinct OF q ward and
that the two freeholders must be resi-
dents of the same election precinct rs
the unregistered voter for whom they
max afidavit. The afadavit made on
election day must be in compliance with
this decision.
Frivolous excuses for failure to regis
ter, such as forgot or too busy will not
be accepted. In view Of the fact that II

holders in each election precinct having
sufficient knowledge Of the unregistered
voters therein to make the required am
davit and that persons who do not regis
ter this fall cannot vote the the primaries
for the city election next spring without
overcoming the same difficulties. It is
necessary that all voters who have not
already registered, do SO next Saturday,
the last day OF registration previous to
the election on November L."

DISCHARGES SEVENTEEN MEN
Union Pacihc Lets Out Number OF
strike Breakers at the
shops.

It is reported at strike headquarters that
the Union Pacific discharged seventeen Of
it's shopmen wednesday on the ground Of
incompetency. TIL men let out say there
are a number of other discharges to follow
the middle OF latter part OF next week
after politics has cooled down.
While admitting that the shops are nlled
with incompetent men strikers are inclined
to think there are other reasons for the
discharge Of these seventeen. It has been
limited that they became intractible when
approached with a request to register in the
city, so as to be in line for voting on cleo
tion day. However. since the men, who
were nonresidents OF the city, have scat
tered. this cannot be confirmed.
Another report says that among this num-
Der were some whom the company sus-
pected as being union men and that In ac-
cordance TO an inexOrabie rule, observed
since the beginning Of the strike, that all
men amliating with strikers in any way
must be put on the outside Of the shops

many instances their identity has been dis
covered and they were let out forthwith.
Strikers received information yesterday
morning that the decision in the Baldwin
Injunction case would be handed down next
Wednesday, the day after election. Judge
Mcpherson, it is said, will be back in the
city by that time. In view OF this infor-
nation the strikers are hopeless Of getting
a decision in their favor.

herself blushed. but remained silent. Later
the county attorney publicly retracted his
reference to Mr.. Smith, the latter merely
smiling assent. The court remained tran
quill through the discussion, but was firm in
sustaining the objections. Finally Smith
abandoned cross-examination entirely.
The first witness of the morning was Sec
rotary Lott OF the school board, who pro-
duced the records showing the salaries paid
the teachers at various times.
Miss Lyons testimony was in substance

leaving the High school grounds and showed
her a paper on which was typewriter a

Alonzo V. Miller, preside1t Of the South
Omaha school boards had preliminary hear
ing before Judge Vinsonhaler in county
court yesterday on the charge Of having
accepted. October 3. from Cecile Lyon Of
the schools there a bribe Of IS for efforts
to secure her a raise in salary from SIS to
$50 per month, Judge v~insonhaler found
that there was probable cause to believe
that bribery was committed" and bound
Miller over to the district court under
$1,000 bond, which was furnished by George
E.. Lasbury.
Early in the hearing Ed p. Smith,
as counsel for defendant, indicated that the
plan OF the defense was to. show that there
was "a put up job against Miller to trap
him, but Judge V~insonhaIer discouraged
this with the statement that the matter
material to the court was simply the guilt
or innocence Of Miller and that 1T is
sometimes necessary to employ unusual
methods to detect crime" This pronounce
ment came after the court had repeatedly
sustained the county attorneys objections
to Smiths pointed questioning Of Miss Ce-
cile Lyon, the principal witness Of the fore
noon, as to whom she had talked with con-
corning her alleged payment of IS to Miller.
Court Differ with smith.
III such questions are with a view TO i'm
peaching the witness they will be ad-
mitted," said the court. But Smith would
not specifically avow such as his intent and
the court finally said: well, then, l don't
see what all this is going to lead to, Mr..
Smith, unless 1t is the finding out of what
the whole city of South Omaha has said or
thought Of the matter"
"f the whole city of South Omaha has
been stirring this up, maybe we ought to
know It," was Smiths reply. "And this is
no ordinary witness, your honor. She is the
star, the prima donna Of the prosecution,
and her testimony is the foundation Of the
whole prosecution. / have the right, then,
to ask of her a repetition Of everything that
she has said to anybody at any time. any
