In police court at ESQ yesterday afternoon

eris, for the defense, objected because the

or that a criminal act had been committed.
and that nothing in the complaint showed
why Bowler was held. Mr.. Thomas asked
that the case be continued until Friday
to give him time to nle a special charge.

requested the Judge TO have the court room
cleared in order that Miss Kramer would
not be compelled to give her testimony in

MEDICS AND DENTS MIX IT

Had not DR.. Rice OF Council Bluffs missed

dreds of students at the Omaha Medical
college and the Omaha Dental college would
never have mixed in jealous rivalry. and
undergraduate tradition would nave been
deprived OF the tale OF the biggest rough
house" that ever occurred in Omaha.
But DR.. Rice did miss his car and the
students did mix, for there was nothing to
do, and as a result there was chaos. but no
class, yesterday. Freshman students
were responsible, and in their lecture room
the melee started, but the smell Of battle
soon caught the nostrils OF juniors and
seniors In far portions Of the building, and
In a few moments every professor found
himself facing empty. seats while his class
members were racing down the halls to the
vortex Of the fray. where they plunged
into the midst and were quickly lost Ia
sight. They never came back.
1t was a great mill and the Dental stu

the history Of the school. 1t took three
hours to decide the result. and then the

went away entirely naked.

sion to d~snounce the ~Crumpacker proposi-
tion to Investigate southern election laws
as designed 10 stir up sectional strife. He
appealed 10 the conservative republicans
to defeat the measure.
AZ the opening Of the session Of the
house today Mr.. Hull OF Iowa reported the
army appropriation bill.
Several minor committee amendments
were adopted to the river and harbor bill.
Mr.. Robertson OF Louisiana offered an
amendment to appropriate s2,5OO,O0O for the
improvement OF Havana harbor.
Mr.. Burton, in charge OF the bill. imme-
diately made a point OF order against the
amendment. Mr.. Robertson contended that
such an appropriation would relieve the de-
preston said to exist in Cuba and in ad-
dition would do much toward freeing our
southern coast from the danger Of yellow
fever infection from Cuban ports. He
thought the expenditure Of this sum would
help Cuba much more at this time than a
20 per cent reduction on the products en-
terlng United States ports.
The amendment was ruled out on the
point Of order. -.- ,l
Mr.. Cooper Of Texas offered an amend
ment to increase the appropriation for sa.
bine lake. Texas. from $4,000 to s15O.OOO
and urged its adoption on account Of the
enormous oil development in the vicinity
Of Beaumont. He made a glowing speech
predicting a wonderful future for this re.
gion. The amendment was lost, 81 to 81.

vent, but unsuccessful, appeal forathe i'm

Mr.. Bethany OF North Carolina offered an

was lost, 81 to 81. In speaking Of the
amendment Mr.. Bellamy referred briefly to
the prospective investigation Of southern
election laws and deprecating It as an at
tempt to revive sectional strife and ILL
feeling. The south, he said, had reached
a resolution of it's didiculties after many
years, when this proposition was advanced
which would undo all that had been &C
complished toward establishing peace and
prosperity. The south, be said, was sicl
and tired Of sectional strife. Its people
loved their union and we're proud OF Ia
honor and achievements. He asserted tina
for sinister purposes some members on thu
other side we're again sowing the seeds o.
discord and he appealed to the conserva'
tive ir-mlnded men Of the republican
I party to vote down a proposition fraugh
with so much evil to the south
