more than s25 900 has been secured from
poor people in this vicinity and the re-
ports Of the swindles are hourly increased.
McPike went to st. Joseph from Omaha.
He says he operated in Denver before

The Omaha Tontine Investment assoeIa-

NEW BRANDEIS BANK OPENS
First Days Business Exceeds Expecta-
lions in Number of DepositOrs and
Volume of Deposits.

The new bank inaugurated in connection
with their big store by j. l.. Brandeis &
Sons opened with a rush yesterday on
schedule time, as originally announced.
When the first days business was checked
up II was found that 252 accounts had
been opened with an aggregate of de-
posits exceeding SIC. O0O-a record beyond
expectations and decidedly encouraging to
the success OF the enterprise. The fact
that deposits made before the 10th OF the
month are credited up with interest for
the full month is proving a stimulus sure
to increase the business materially the next
few days.
A great many people, especially wage
e%arners, took advantage Of the offer Of
the new Brandeis bank to accommodate
all corners in the cashing Of checks, Its
hours keeping 1t open till 3 p. M, making
this feature an unequaled convenience.
Checks on other Omaha banks which could
not be presented because received after
regular banking hours, were readily ex-
changed without charge for bright new
bills, which will be finding their way into
circulation all the week.

SPLIT IN SOCIALIST PARTY
One Faction Steals March On the Other by
Holding Convention.
REGULAR ORGANIZATION IS IGNORED
State Convention Called for Saturday
Was Abandoned Because One
Was Pulled on Tuesday
Night.

There was a socialist convention scheduled
for last evening which did not come off
The official socialist party has been
experiencing a split in It's ranks and one
faction held a state convention this week
In advance Of that called by the officers of
the state organization chosen a year ago.
At that convention J. Edward Morgan was
elected secretary of the state Organization
and Friday he promulgated a notice to
all socialists in the state, in which he said
THE regular state convention of the social
list party was held on September 2, all locals
Of the state being represented and a full
state ticket nominated. The fakirs who
were recently expelled from the organiza-
tion have called a convention for September
6. All true socialists and their trends are
warned to give this fake convention a cold
berth"
Until the meeting of the socialists, Sep
TENDER 2, George e. Baird of Omaha was
secretary Of the state organization, and
signed the call for the convention which
was to have been held yesterday. When
shown the manifesto issued by Secretary
Morgan he said: -
There was a rump convention held in
Omaha this week. A call had been issued
for a county convention at that time and
place and the people met for that purpose.
When they got together the fellows who
objected to the action of the regularly
chosen officers decided to turn it into a
state convention. They brought in a
sufficient number to show 200 delegates
present, as required by law, and nominate
a ticket. It was decidedly irregular and
unauthorized :
While the socialist party is split and in
trouble over its factions the socialist labor
party, the red button variety. is having
troubles OF its own. This party maintains
an organ which is published daily and
weekly in New York City and is known as
THE People" 1t is owned by the party
and its editor is elected. For some time
the paper has been running in a small mar
gin and financial troubles are facing 1t. A
debt Of about $12. 900 has to be paid and a
reserve fund created. The socialist labor

claim that the Carpenters union never

Pacific system and for this reason the
objections that the carpenters have been
making to the return Of the bricklayers is
