CHARGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT
NJ. s. ROwIey Said to Have Padded
PayroIIs at Armour &
Company's.

Through nearly all yesterday Martin s.
Rowley sat In the ofice and corridors OF
the county jail, with his hat on as though
expecting to be allowed to depart any
minute. No friends called, but he received
three kilograms from Chicago. where he
has an uncle prominent in banking circles,
but with whom he is said to have had a
falling out some time ago. When seen in
the Jail office In the evening by a reporter
for The Bee his face showed worry. but
he politely declines to say anything con-
corning his alleged embezzlement Of 1900
from the Armour company, because Of
which Justice Altstadt issued a warrant
Saturday night on which he was arrested
and Jailed under $4,000 bond. which he has
not yet been able to furnish, though he at
nrst thought he could readily do SO. His
preliminary hearing will be in Altstadt's
court Tuesday. April %.
1t is said that 1t has been known by the
principal office men Of the company in
South omaha for a week past that some
thing was wrong. because General Su-
perintendent Langdon was sent out from
Chicago and there were secret conferences.
Rowley had been in especial favor for a
long time and Mr.. Armour knew him per-
sonally and had such an interest in him
that when Mrs. Rowley was sick some time
ago he sent his special physician from Chi
cage to attend her.
The alleged incorporation Of funds is
reported to have been accomplished by In
sorting fictitious names in the payroll, OF
which Rowley had control by reason of his
position as head timekeeper. 1t is said.
too. that the discrepancies we're discovered
when the foremen of certain departments
had money sent them for men who had
never worked under them. The report that
spread because OF this resulted in the Guar
antee Surety Company OF North America,
by whom Rowley was bonded, putting a
detective agency to work and RowIey was
arrested at his home. Twenty-irst and ]
streets. South Omaha, late Saturday even
ing. Formerly he lived at Twenty eighth
and Leavenworth streets, Omaha. He has a
wife and child and has had an excellent
reputation. with no more serious charge
against him than that Of being a lavish
entertainer and too generous.

LoEcHNER BOILERS DEFENSE
II is said to BE that MayoraIty Cam
didate Refused to support
Bryan.

Saturday night is the time fixed for the
report of the committee appointed by the
Jacksonian club to investigate the action
Of the South Omaha members who bolted
the nomination of Loechner in the last
municipal campaign.
At the meeting Of the club last SATURDAY.
night it was said that the committee had
prepared u report, but that 1t desired TO
confirm a story heard since it was made
out and that this would delay the report
one week, the committee, however, prom
ising to make its findings known to the
members Of the organization at the next
meeting.
The report that the insurgents we're to
make defense on the ground that the late
candidate for mayor in the Magic City had
refused to support Bryan in the last DO
iiticai campaign is laughed at by the mem
bers Of the club, who are responsible for
the present Investigation.
THE defense as outlined is merely a
subterfuge." said one of these men. THE
men who bolted Loechner did not do II
because he failed to support Bryan. but
/ guess 1t is a fact that they are now
setting up that defense. II makes no diff
ference to the club whether Loechner sup
ported Bryan or not. He was the regular
democratic nominee In South Omaha and
no man can bolt democratic nominees. reg
ularly and fairly named. and hold member
ship unquestioned in the Jacksonian club.
The test Of membership in the club is
a mans loyalty to the party. not to a fac
ton. II Loeehner bolted a regular nominee
Of the party he could have been Disciplined
and II the fact had been known 1t is
hardly possible that he would have re-
eeived the nomination; but, having received
it, Il was the duty of every democrat ia
support him. and the plea Of the boilers
hat Loechner had been guilty Of party
treason will do them no good when the
report of the committee has been received
proving them guilty as charged"
1t is said that the South Omaha demo
erats who have been charged with boltinF
the ticket are going to make a fight fol
their standing in the club.

BRYAN JOINS IN THE PROTEST
C~O-Operates with New York Club in
DenOuncInE Sending Embassy
to Coronation.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE Thirteen
club Of this city had a dinner tonight at
the rooms OF the New York Press club.
The business before the club was that OF
making a formal protest against the United
States sending an embassy to the corona
ton Of King Edward. william ]. Bryan
was invited. but sent instead a letter which
read in part: l am entirely in sympathy
with you in your criticisms Of the attitude
Of the administration in sending a special
commission to represent this country at
the browning of a king. The most extrava-
CANT demands of courtesy and internationa
friendship do not require us to surrender
our convictions in regard to government
or our disapproval Of regal birth or mill
tary force as the foundation Of govern

sAxroN is NOT PASSED UP
Illinois Man suits Manager ROurke
for President of west
ern League.

This talk about us having concluded to
pass up NJ. H. Saxton for president Of the
Western league is ali bosh.' said Manager
Rourke Of the Omaha base ball club last
night. THE statement that d. G. Packard
OF Denver would become the president Is
equally groundless. Both tales are mere
hot air. 1 did not make them.
The real facts in the case are lust
these. The board Of control Is at present
waiting upon Mr.. saxton. He has been
granted a few days in which to make an
answer. II he will come and give the
Western league as much time as James
whitfield would have done we will be
glad to get him.
THE truth Of the matter is that our
league is in the very best condition iust
now. and we are In shape TO run along
without a president for an indefinite tine
without suffering any serious injury. so
we are in no great hurry about selecting
one. This is Van Brunt's conception Of
the situation, and | agree with him..
LAS to this Packard idea, there is moth
ing at all to that. He has never even
been thought Of, and I myself would not
wish to have him in the executive posi-
tion, and would oppose him for that place.
There is not the remotest chance Of Man
ager Packard's securing the presidency.
Personally I want a western man. and
IL Mr.. Saxton will not have It l would be
heartily in favor of the selection Of Mr..
Van Brunt himself. He is certainly q re-
liable man of the best business standing.
and should make q successful president"
1t may be said here that James Rourke
OF Omaha, brother of Manager Rourke, has
as good a chance as anyone after Saxton for
being the next Western league president,
though W. A. Rourke modestly refrained
from any volunteer information as to this.
When the matter was preached, however,
Rourke admitted that there was some talk
TO this end and said that he was sure his
brother would make a good man IN the
place. He did not wish to discuss II fur
ther Just now.
This ramifeation OF the situation Is, OF
course, dependent entirely. upon the failure
Of Mr.. saxton to accept the position, but It
also suggests itself to Omahans as a very
feasible solution Of the dificulty. James
Rourke is widely known here and elsewhere
as a business man Of sound judgment, in
tegrtty and conservatism. His level head,
II is considered. would be a power at the
head of the league. Agitation Of his prom
inence in this connection, however, is be-
ing suppressed more or less until the re-
suit OF the Saxton deliberations become
definitely known. Should Saxton not take
the job. it is very probable that James
Rourke will be boosted strongly for presi-
dent.

ONE OF The SCHWABS HERE
Not the President Of Steel Corporation, but
His Brother.
MEETS FRIEND OF HIS BoYHooD DAYS
r. J.. BenEeIe Their Tells How {. NJ,
schwRb nj one Time Drove Hack
and His Brother washed
BuERies.

A good American, whose father used to
keep a livery stable back in Loretto, Pa,
came into Omaha on a special car yester-
day afternoon and met a man whom he
hasn't seen since they used to play mig
giles" together on the barn floor.
The first man was J. E. Schwab, brother
Of Charles NJ. Schwab, president Of the
United States steel corporation, and him
self a prominent figure in 1t. The other
man was F. J.. Bengele, now with an Omaha
carpet company.
Mr.. chwab is returning to Pittsburg,
his home, after a western tour that has
included Redlands, Del Monte, San Fran
cisco. Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs,
Colorado Springs and Denver In the spe-
cial car "Hezlemere" with him are his
wife, who has visited In the west for some
time; their son. Charles, aged 5; daughter,
Dorothy. aged 3; Mrs. schwab's aunt, Mrs.
McMullen Of P%ittsburg. and Mr.. Schwab's
friends, William Fennerty Of Pittsburg and
Fl. NJ. Foster OF New York.
They spent their hour Of waiting in and
about the Burlington station. which Mr..
Schwab pronounced much the finest he
had ever seen. They were delighted with
their entire trip and when Mr.. Schwab
was asked II he had any notion of buy

Were boys Together.
When Mr.. Bengele approached and in
troduced himself, Mr.. schwa remembered
him instantly, grasped his hand cordially
and chatted with him until the bell tapped.
then waved a farewell from the car win
dow. Later, Mr.. Bengele said:
when 1 last saw that man, more than
twenty years ago, we we're boys together
at Loretto, where my father kept a hotel.
John Schwab kept a livery barn, his elder
son, Charles, drove a hack between Loretto
and Cresson, and this boy played around
the place. a competitor Of mine for the
task OF watering Andrew C%ernegie's car
riage team, in which Job there wa a quar-
ter pocket money every time we could
get 1t. Later Charles went to BraddocB
as a clerk, made a record by his business
ability, got in with the steel men and
finally placed himself in the position that
gave him the boost when FTick hsS to steI
out. Some people think ]. e. is going UT
by clinging to mis- brothers coat tails, but
that isn't true. He has climbed by the
same course and without assistance and
/ think he is about as good an illustration
as is Charles of what the right kind o
boy can do in America"
J. E. Schwab declined to stand for q
photographer yesterday, but had a picture
been taken few people could have believed
him other than the president, two years
his senior, who is now in New York, ant
of whom he is the counterpart in every
feature.

Il cannot say exactly what / will do in

cases which are now before the courts OF

the matter UP and render a decision to my

It is a rather important case. as a fnal

ANOTHER LINE TO THE COAST
Perry s. Heath Says Chicago & Great
Western 0ontemplates Building,
SURVEY TO SALT LAKE ALREADY MADE
New Line, According 60 Mr. Heath's
Statement, would Reduce Time
60 the Paeihc by Twelve
Hours.

Perry S. Heath, editor OF the Salt Lake
City Tribune, who was hrst assistant post
master general under the Mckinley ad-
ministration, arrived in Omaha from the
west over the Union Pacific Sunday after
noon, and left soon afterward for Chicago,
where he will remain several days. Mr..
Heath is much interested in railroad build
ing, especially such as will contribute 90
the material prosperity Of Salt LAX City,
and in this connection he expects that
something will be doing inside Of a year
on the Chicago & Great Westerns pros
pective line to the Mormon metropolis and
the coast.
There is a strong probability said he,
"of this being a great transcontinenta
trunk line. There is now a final survey
between Sioux City and Salt Lake City.
which strikes straight as the crow flies
across the country, and which, II extended
on to the coast, will reduce the time to
San Francisco by twelve hours. This line,
as projected, has less than 1 per cent
grade. A. 3. stickney is back Of the move
ment.
The only hitch now in the way Of build.
ing is an outlet to the west out Of Salt
Lake City. II the company can make
satisfactory arrangements with the South
ern Pacific to let II into San francisco
there is no doubt in my mind but that the
road will be built.
Nucleus of the New Line.
Building is already in progress between
Fort Dodge and Omaha. l understand the
roadbed between Sioux City and Fort Dodge
will be prepared for the rails SOM time this
summer. This last project lie, in my opin-
ion. a part Of the great tr~anscontinental
trunk line. the final survey Of which has
been completed as far west as Salt Lake
City.
salt Lake City is on the crest Of a great
railroad boom Just now" continued Mr..
Heath, land l think as a city II has a brill
liant future before 1t. I predict that Il will
outstrip Denver before many years. Fiji
teen hundred men are now at work on the
bennington cutoff, which so reduces curves
and grades as to shorten the distance to San
Francisco over the Southern Pacific by lie
miles"
Mr.. Heath was accompanied by his wife
who, after reaching Chicago, will go Il
Louisville, KY, to visit with relatives. Mr.
Heath expects to return to Salt Lake CitI
about Wednesday OF this week.

The Court of Appeals Of the Distr CT
of Columbia late this afternoon handed
down the decision in the case of IheO-
dore l.. Page and Warren 1. Coffin,
keepers Of the restaurant in the Capt.
tol. The opinion was rendered by Chief
Justice Alvey. The judgment of the
courts below were reversed. and the
c uuse re nm d d in order that the infor-
ZION may be quashed.
Pace aud Coffin were convicted in
the Police Court of 4 violation of the
LIQUOR license law of the District A
fine Of $500 was imposed on each de-
fendent.
In his opinion the chief justice said, that
provisions of the act regulating the
sale of liquors in the District would
appear to negative the contention that
the act was intended to apply TO the
Capitol restaurants.
The, E restaurants have been in oper-
alton for nearly half a century. he
court was OF the opinion that if Con-
gress had intended to embrace the
Capitol restaurants in the act regula-
ting the sale of liquors it would have
been expressly declared.
In the opinion of the court there was
no 70 IndatlOn for prosecution.
