WANTS NO POLITICAL ASPECT
Why Irish League Withdraws Invita-
ton to Douglas County
Democracy.

The latest thing to accentuate the lack
Of harmony between the Douglas County
Democracy and the Jacksonian club Of Ne
braska is the coming meeting to be given
by Emmett branch of the Irish National
league in honor of William Redmond and
Joseph Devlin, who are to speak upon the
condition pf ireland and the aspirations Of
the members of the Irish Parliamentary
party at Boyd's theater Wednesday even
ing.
Joseph A. Conner is the chairman OF the
hall committee of the league and in that
position has disposed of the seats and
boxes according to his own ideas. One of
his ideas was that place should be set
aside for the representatives of the polit-
ical clubs of the city. Unfortunately the
democratic party is the only one maintain
ing active clubs, so his field was limited.
However, he issued two invitations, one to
the County Democracy and one to the Jack
sonian club. The former accepted the in
| vitation Immediately and sent word to the
chairman OF the hall committee that the
decorations for the two boxes assigned to
that club would be provided by the mem
bers and that 1t would be in harmony with
the occasion, while advertising the fact
that they we're occupied by representatives
of the club.
The invitation extended to the Jacksonian
club remained unanswered until the last
meeting of the general committee Of the
league, when a member Of that club, a
former state officer, who is also a member
Of the general committee of the league,
introduced a resolution expressing the
| sentiment that no political clubs should be
recognized and that any such club which
had promised to occupy boxes should be
thanked for their friendship and told that
the presence of representatives was not
desired by members of the league, who de-
sired to give no political cast to the meet
ing. This resolution prevailed and 1t then
devolved upon Mr.. Conner to withdraw the
invitation which had been accepted by the
County Democracy. This was done and the
boxes will be devoted to other purposes,
while the representatives OF the club who
had depended upon the seats in the boxes
will have to come down among the general
populace in a hustle for seats which are
now hard to secure.

RUSH TO GET OFF THE JURY
First Vsnire with Business Men Brings
Many Excuses,
JUDGE BAXTER LET'S SOME OF THEM OFF
Purely Business Reasons. However
Are Not Considered by the Court
Sufficient to Excuse Man
from Service.

Judge Irving r. Baxter OF the criminal
bench held a reception yesterday in his
private Office at the courthouse, at which
there we're in attendance a large number
Of Omaha men who seldom go out, but
who wouldn't have missed this for a good
deal. They were men who wished to be
excused from jury service. for which they
had been drawn, and IL they had missed
II the dereliction might have cost them
S25 as a fine for contempt of court.
At noon thirty-nine excuses signed by
the judge had been brought to the clerk OF
the court for filing. On F. P. Kirkendall's
was written $50 years. which is the age
limit for jurors. A. c. Powers asked to be
excused, but was turned down. G. w.
Hoobler risked oils immortal soul and some
other things OF value by remaining away
altogether and a deputy sheriff was to be
sent for him with a forthwith summons.
BILLY" Byrne OF the Orpheum theater
pleaded matinee engagements and was ex-
cused. Charley Tracy g~alloped into the
court house like a stage horse, wet and
winded, at 1910 and tried to square him
self. He hadn't thought of the thing until
somebody reminded him Of it while he was
over in South Omaha, at 11:40. Mel Hoer-
ner tried to get off, but couldn't. He says
WIN hC 6tINNd as VI NV oOal0 VI
County Commissioners he had protection,
but that after his retirement things began
to happen to him right away.
Large variety of Excuses.
Among others two we're excused because
they couldn't understand the English Ian
guage; two because they have served dur
ing recent terms; three because they
showed doctors certificates of illness; two
because they were registered pharmacists;
one because he lives in Minnesota, and two
because they are hard of hearing. Re-
quirements of their business appeared as
the excuse of a managing editor, a rail-
way conductor, a telegraph operator, a
travelling salesman. a liveryman, a timer,
a school board employee and a storekeeper
of the United States internal revenue de-
partment.
Some Of these appeared several days ago
and secured their excuses. They will draw
no fee, but each of those who we're present
this morning when court opened receives
81, even il he was detained no more
than fifteen minutes.
When the judge entered the court room
he saw lined up at his Office door a regi-
ment of the suppliants, and before he had
his hat and overcoat off the importuning
began. The head Of the line, who had been
there since s o'clock, said he was i'll, but
the judge told him jury service might act
as a bracer. A barber said he couldn't
leave his shop, but the court said he would
have to cut his work short somehow. as 1t
would be a close shave for jurors il every
man was let off who had business interests.
Several were proprietors of saloons and
they were told they wouldn't be corked up
If it could be avoided, but that they could
not be excused at present.

complaint Of Ed b. Knight of IrvIngton,
Neb. Russell met Knight at the corner OF
Thirteenth and Douglas streets at a late

him for being on the street. After walking
with him for some distance Russell. SO
Knight claims, said he did not desire to
arrest a man for being out for a good time.
and for a small consideration would release
him. Russell had read Of the paddock game
and other bunco methods OF separating
men from their money and started an argu-
ment as to whether Russell was an officer.
While the men were talking two soldiers
from Fort Crook came along and Knight
asked them as to Russell's authority. As
Russell had no star, the soldiers held him
until the arrival OF ofncsr Brady, who
took him 20 the station. A man who was

"The Ten VIRGINS"

Trinity Episcopal Church was crowded
last night with highly interested audience
the occasion being the presentation by the
choir of the sacred cantata, 1.-The Ten Vir-
GINS composed by A. r. Gaul, and dedi-
Gated to the musical societies of America.
This choir is well known in WASHINGTON
musical circles as presenting some of the
best sacred compositions in finished STYLE
and last nights performance sustained the
good reputation of the organization Mr.
William A. Kirkpatrick directed the choir
and presided at the organ in a most salts
factory manner. An orchestra rendered
valuable assistance in sustaining the voices
of the singers, and both solo and ensemble
work was especially good.
MISS NJ. Bertha Woodward as soprano
soloist was heard to good advantage during
the evening, and the baritone solos by Mr..
HalStead F. Hoover were pleasing features
OF the production and displayed the fine
quality of his voice. Miss Carrie Smith,
contralto; Mr.. NJ. Harry Stevens tenor and
Mr. w. II. Peter, bass, also met with the
approval of the audience in solo parts.
The double quartet consisted of the sOloists
and the following: Miss Grace Cook. So
prano; Miss Florence Bean and Mrs w A.
kirkpatrick, contralto; Mr. Harry C, Rohb.
tenor, and Mr.. CA. Kreps, basso.
Besides the regular choir and soloists the
following local singers were guests of the
choir and assisted in the chorus: Mrs. c. j.

TO FIGHT SAN JOSE SCALE.
Its Enemy, the Lady Bug, Brought
From China

The Department OF Agriculture is prepar-
ing to fight the ravages of the San Jose
scale throughout the country with its nat
ural enemy. the lady bug. brought from
the interior OF China Assistant Botanst
Marlatt has just returned from the orient,
where he sought the original home of the
dreaded scale. Far in the interior of the
latter country, where European plants had
not penetrated. he found the scales and also
the lady bugs which kept the scales in sub
lection and permitted the native plants TO
flourish. Mr.. Marlatt started home with a
good supply of these lady bugs. but only
sixteen survived on arrival In this country
and fourteen of these subsequently died.
The two remaining, however, were careful
~ nursed by the government with a view
TO fighting the scale in the same manner as
in China. There now are fifty of them re-
quiring the constant gathering of scales
from the department grounds for food.
While not expecting the scales to be ex-
terminated from this country, experts are
planning to attack them with the increasing
breeding of their natural enemies.

AS TO DISAPPEARING GUNS.
Views of Ordnance Officers Sent to the
Senate

The voluntary letters telling of the per-
sonal experience of the writer's with the
disappearing gun carriage, transmitted to
the Senate yesterday, have the substantial
character, though not the technical form,
OF official reports. Major Pratt says that
as a result Of his experience with the car
riage he Is in favor of it for all sites, low,
medium and high. In an action with a
spirited naval antagonist, he says he is
confident that the fire of a barbette gun
would be silenced or kept down by the
secondary armament of the attacking war
ships. while the disappearing gun could
continue its fire undisturbed. Says Major
Pratt: Il consider the disappearing car
not too complicated or delicate to be main
Ing more expenditure of labor or greater
skill in serving 1t than can reasonably be
expected of the personnel we are liable to
have In the artillery service"
Major Duvall says: The Burlington
Crozier system is far ahead of the bar
bette IN rapidity OF fire. since in the first
the gun crOuches down like a camel to
receive It's burden. while in the second
both men and ammunition must be lifted up
TO the gun like climbing the ladder to the
main deck of an elephant"
Major Murray experimental with some of
the first models of the Burlington rozier
system, one of which he says appeared to
me to be as nearly a perfect piece of mech
anism as human ingenuity could devise"
He says that the carriages are perfectly
serviceable and will work without hitch if
kept continually in proper condition.

danger of not having enough men to guard
prisoners and yet keeping them was one of
the lessons Waller had learned from his
Investigations of the Balangiga massacre.
and it was a mistake he was not likely to
repeat
The Right to Kill.
There seems to be no doubt as to the
guilt of the men. This plea was not raised
in the course of the court-martial. The
charge seemed to be that Waller had no
right to execute the men so summarily
even if they We're guilty. And what be-
comes of the thousand and one drumhead
courts-martial followed by summary exc
cution for treason and espionage which
the annals of the rebellion reveal-and that
1t Will be remembered, was the most civil
liked war ever waged?
one more incident of the many that came
under my observation and reconciled me to
the character of the war we are waging in
Samar. A little mdshipman just out from
Annapolis was patroltng the strait in a
yawl from the flagship New York. He was
after the smugglers who bring arms to the
insurgents from Leyte. The great gale had
blown the yawl out into the Pacific, and
when it subsidized little Noah and his six
men were exhausted. Their water had
given out and they tried to make Basay.
Admiral Rodgers having ordered them not
to land except at an armed post. The
wind died away while Basay was still two
miles off. Two of his men were delirious
with thirst and there was the little village
of Nipa Nipa only few hundred yards
away flying the white flag of peace and
friendship. Noah, as he floated near the
shore. lifted up his empty water jar and
the kindly people on the beach understood.
They lifted up water jars overlooking with
the precious fluid and pointed al the white
flag to reassure him. He pushed his boat
into the surf, and, telling his men to wait
in the boat, advanced some fifty yards up
the beach, where the good Samaritans were
awaiting him with their water Jars. AS
he drank his first deep draught two of the
natiVeS-one a woman-crept behind him
and buried their knives in his back.
