said he. while there l was asked more
than once to tell them something about the
Knights OF Ak-Sar-Ben and what it is or
ganized for. When l told them that our
annual parades we're better than those to
be seen in any Of the more widely known
carnival cities they would not believe me at
first, but after l had told them some of the
things which w had done and that the
electrical pageant was sufficient to cause
the president of the United States to make
a change in the itinerary Of his western
trip, they began to believe me, and several
expressed their intention OF timing visits
to Omaha so as to be here one of the nights
of the parade"

HOLDING BACK FOR TAXES
Omaha Purchasers of Tee Want Ship
ments Delayed Until
Duty IL on. a

The receipt OF teas at the Omaha custom
house has been much less this year than
usual, although the purchase by Omaha
jobbers is said to be heavier this year than
formerly. The reason for this condition is
that January 1 the present duty on tea
will be removed and the goods admitted
free. Jobbers who buy now instruct the
consignors to ship only the amount re-
CURED for immediate delivery to retailers
and to hold the bulk Of the purchase until
after the first Of the coming year.
Under ordinary seasons there are re-
eeiyed at the Omaha custom house about
1000 cases Of teas. or 1900 OF the boxes
familiar to consumers. The season is about
half over now and the receipts would have
ordinarily been about 5000 cases, while no
more than 1000 cases have passed through
the custom house.

BALDWIN IS NOT INTERESTED
Makes Light Of Challenge to Engage Him
in Joint Debate.
SAYS RAILROAD TAX is NOT An ISSUE
Supreme Court Has Matter Under Con-
alteration and Union Pacific
lawyer Doesn't Care to
Discuss IL Specifically.

John N. Baldwin returned yesterday morn
ing from North Platte. where he went to an
swer a charge preferred against him Of in
citing a disturbance. Mr.. Baldwin was very
much p%erturbed over the report that he had
secured immunity from arrest by APOLOGIZE
ing to the person who had caused the war
rant for his arrest to be issued, and said:
The statement in the Herald this
morning that l apologized to Editor Kelly
of North Platte and that therefore he dis
missed his complaint is absolutely and un-
qualihedly false. l never made such a
statement and never made such apology. ]
did not see MIR. Kelly at all when at North
Platte this time and had no conversation
with him or his representatives. l went to
North Platte ready to appear and plead.
No warrant was served upon me. I was
told by many Of the citizens who called to
see me that this was all a silly and ma
licious prosecution and that l should do
nothing in the matter. The complaint
against me was withdrawn by Mr.. Kelly
Mr.. Baldwin was asked II he had given
any consideration to the letter recently
sent by the fusion state committees to the
chairman Of the republican state committee
to arrange for a debate between him and
M. F. Harrington Of O'Neill on the subject
OF railroad taxation in the state Of Ne
braska.
Hasn't Even Read Challenge.
81 have not even read the challenge" he
said. 81 cav the headlines and started to
read It, but did not get time to finish. The
letter is probably in the hands Of Chairman
Lindsay, and / may hear from him later,
but at this time l know nothing about it.
do not think that l will be able TO take
an active part in any campaign this fall. as
my time is pretty we'll occupied with rail-
road business. / do not really think that
there will be an Issue between the parties
on the subject Of railroad taxation this fall.
The case has been presented to the court
and 1t has been tried In the newspapers.
Despite the protestations OF The Bee I
think that the bulletins issued by the rail-
roads have shown the people the Justice Of
the contentious Of the companies, and that
neither party will be in a position to make
political capital out Of the action Of the
state officers in the matter.
Again, / do not care to discuss the mat
ter except in the most general terms. AS a
representative of the Union Pacific Railroad
company I presented my views. to the SUI
preme court, and the matter is now under
consideration by It. 1t would be wrong for
me to enter into a specific discussion Of the
points raised In that case until the court
has announced its decision"

BOY CONFESSES TO MURDER
In Same Letter he Says He Intends t
Commit Suicide.
PUZZLED POLICE START INVESTIGATION
Author of Letter Says He IL the Boy
who Gut on Little Dora jack
man'sa Hair Last
February.

II the statements made in a letter re-
ceived at police station yesterday morning
are true, my Huffman is a murderer and a
ouicide. TIL letter was mailed at 5:S5
o'clock Tuesday afternoon and was received
at the police station yesterday morning.
There was no stamp on the envelope. 1t
was addressed to Police Station, Omaha,
Neb." The letter said:
Dear Sir: I am the one that cut off Dora
Jackman's hair. / am IS years old. Two
months after my mother died l killed our
baby. which was = months and lays old;
river. 1 had nothing against her. She was
always polite to me. Put this IN the
her hair in my pocket. 1 cut 1t OFF with a
what had done. so 1 Killed myself.
The letter was unsigned and was written
on plain notepaper with a lead pencil.
my Huffman cut a long braid OF hair from
the head of Dora Jackman during the early
part OF February. A complaint was filed
against him at that time, but he was never
arrested, nor could any of his relatives be
located by the police. Huffman met the
little girl one Sunday morning as she was
going to a store on Sixteenth street between
California and Cass. Ire kicked her and
she fell down. He then took a knife or
razor from his pocket and cut on a long
braid and made his escape. The girl is the
daughter OF former Police ofncer A. L.
Jackman and resides at 1417 Cass street.
She said this morning that she and HUH
man attended the Cass school together and
she could not have been mistaken about his
identity. She did not know where he lived.
Huffman Cannot he Found.
The directory does not give his address.
In the neighborhood Of the Cass school
there reside several families by the name
Of Hoffman, but these know nothing Of the
boy and disclaim any relationship to him
The promotion reports OF the Cass school
and the reports Of pupils attending school
at the close OF the term do not show the
name Of Huffman. Miss Simonds, principal
Of the school, is out OF the city and will
not return until Friday.
The police were az first inclined to think
the boys note was written in order to ere
ate for himself newspaper notoriety, but as
all efforts to md him or any OF his rela-
tives have failed they are inclined to think
there is some truth IN the letter and they
are now making a search Of the river bank
for some trace Of him.
There Is no record at the police station Of
at the coroner's once Of a baby being muir
dered, though several babies have been
found dead during the last year. These,
with possibly one exception, were only q
few hours old. The body Of an infant was
found badly decomposed in a box at Ninth
street and Capitol avenue last June. Owing
to the decomposition. its age could not be
determined. but the coroner Is certain that
It could not have been as old as the baby
Huffman mentions In his letter.

PLANNING FoR'IRRIGATIoN.
Guernsey May Be Sarting Point Of
Nebraska Canal,

LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 9.-Elwood
Mead, expert irrigationist and chief in
vestigator for the department of agri,
culture, spent a day in Lincoln with
State Engineer Adna Dobson and mem
bers of the state board of irrigation.
Senator Dietrich arrived to confer
with Mr.. Mead. 1t is now believed
that the governor will accept the rec
ommendation of those who recommend
the construction of a reservoir on the
state line in Speek Hill canyon and a
canal running from Guernsey, Wyo.,
to a point ear North Platte.
AS contemplated, the canal will prob
ably be extended to North Platte, but
the intention now is to build the canal
only from Guernsey to the Nebraska
state line at a point on the Platte.
AS projected the canal will furnish an
abundant water supply for the whole
of SCOTS Bluff county and the greater
portion of Cheyenne county. Two res
ervoirs will be constructed near the
state line if the project goes through.
This portion of the canal will be about
fifty miles in length.

REoUIsITIoN NOT HoNoRED.
Men Who Violated State Game Law
Cannot Be Brought Back.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 11.-Chief
Game Warden Simpkins returned from
Jefferson City, Mo-, minus the two
Kansas City men who were wanted
at Red Cloud for hunting in Nebraska
without a license. Governor Dockery
refused to honor a requisition. saying
that the offense was merely a misde-
meanoc and he did not want to have
his men hauled about over the country
for such a crime.
C. T. Hazleton and R. w. Stoner
are the men wanted. Their three
dogs and ammunition were confiscated
at Red Cloud and sold. The fine for a
nonresident hunting in Nebraska is
500 or sixty days in Jail. The men
had killed over sixty prairie chickens
out of season and it is believed a
total of $500 could have been piled
up against them. Another effort will
be made to bring them back. Mr..
Simpkins offers a reward of $50 to
any one who will arrest the two men
on Nebraska territory.

Arrested or Eve of Wedding Day.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. o.
John and Nicholas Adams of Dawson
county were arraigned before United
States Commissioner Bode on the
charge of selling beer in violation of
the United States revenue laws. Mich
olas was released, but John was bound
over to the United States district
court at Omaha and the bond fixed at
$500, which the defendant was fortu-
nately able to furnish-the more for
tunately for the reason that it was
the eve of his wedding day and he
had to hurry back to Dawson county
in order not to postpone the nuRtial
event.
