WOMEN GET TO HALL FIRST
North side Improvement Club There
fore waits on the
stairway.

A lockout" occurred in North Omaha
last evening. 1t was not the result Of labor
dissensions, but merely the collision OF two
organizations. When twenty members OF the
North Omaha Improvement club gathered
on the stairway OF Magnolia hall, expect
ing to enter and transact the regular
weekly, routine, they found their entrance
barred Voices from the inside showed
that they had been cleverly outwitted
Thoughts Of a kolitical trick were harbored
An investigation revealed that the wives
OF the members Of the club had taken pos
session OF the hall for a rehearsal for fu-
ture entertainment.
Making the best OF the dilemma, the male
members assembled ins an anteroom and
shivered duringA Adiscussions or vainly en-
deavored to prevent the chattering Of teeth
while awaiting an opportunity OF gaining
admittance to the we'll heated hall. With
faces beaming with smiles the auxiliary
members emerged from the room an hour
and a half later and left, but not, however,
until they had fully enjoyed the joke which
they had perpetrated
After the Improvement club secured the
hall the new constitution and bylaws were
adopted. A heated discussion arose over
the clause providing for the discussion Of
officers representing the ward in city POSI-
tions, the objectors recalling the recent
arraignment of Councilman Karr. The ma
iority OF the members present favored the
criticizing of ward representatives, but to
preserve harmony It was voted that in the
future party politics should be entirely elm
mated. 1t was also voted to prevent flu
ture packing" Of meetings by providing
that all members four months in arrears in
dues should not be entitled to vote,

pENNELL SHORT IN ACCOUNTS
Dead Lawyer IL said to Have Been
DefauIter for a Large
suna.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April e.--The Commer-
cial this afternoon publishes a story in
which It is alleged that Arthur r. Pennell,
who was killed in an automobile accident
on March 10, was a defarlter.to to the extent
of from $150,O0O to $500 900. The story,
the Commercial says, leaked out as the
result of legal dispute over two life I'm
surance policies.
Pennell, the paper alleged. induced
friends in the east who had known bis
family and the family OF his wife, to place
money in hts hands for investment. He
acted, in fact AZ their inancial agent He
would inform them II ~ found an invest
ment. which would pay an excellent rate OF
interest, and they would send him money.
The money thus sent, II Is alleged, he
spent and when Interest payments fell due
made the payments out of his own pocket,
Wallace Thayer, who was Pencils attor-
ney and intimate friend, is referred to by
the paper as saying he had suspected tr-
regularities, but that he had no proof of
any such wrongdoing.
incidentally, it has been learned that
Pennell made provision for the payment
to Mrs Edwin L. Burdick of $4,000 out of
his life insurance
PenneIl carried over $4,000 life insur-
ance In order, the Commercial says that
after his death the eastern estate to which
he is alleged to have been defaulter might
be able to recoup the losses which they
sustained through him. In his will Pen
nell named as administrator Of his estate
his brother, j. Frederick Pennell.
He left to his administrator sealed in
struotions that upon his death he should
make good in full out of his estate all the
losses which had been sustained through
his defalcations.
The Commercial adds that Pennell had
contemplated suicide for two years.

HAVANA. April 6y--CongresE reassembled

ment get their policy n.y. ay.

duties Of cabinet officers; laws concern, g
gold and silver coinage, divorce and re-
vision of the court system and customs
tariffs.
A message from President Palma was
read at the opening session. He congratu-
lated the country on the maintenance Of
peace and order since the strike last No
vember. The system OF reorganization, he
said had begun and advised reform Of
the military laws, which were not adapted
to a republican form of government, es-
pecially with reference to the jurisdiction
over soldiers guilty of penal offenses.
The president says negotiations have been
completed providing for the entrance Of
Cuba into the postal union and for special
arrangements with the United States and
Mexico, and he advises an entire recon-
struction Of the postal telegraph system.
He continues
The majority of the municipalities exist
with difficulty because their revenues are
inadequate. The government feels that
further assistance In many cases Is un-
authorized, beyond paying the expenses of
charities, schools and prisons, but the OBJ
legations of the municipalities cannot con-
tinue to be met unless congress spec .hcally
authorizes the government to act Tne

to evade carrying out our duty In accord
ance with the Platt amendment, the execu-
tive believes that the convention has been
made as favorable as possible, and recon
may be possible to negotiate an additional
agreement to establish the price OF the

1t Is necessary to hasten the permanent
definition of Cubas relations with the
United States, so as to eliminate the Plat
Cuba at present in state of political un-
certainty.
President Palma points out that the cash
balance of the treasury amounts to S2,63S,
900, and advises that 1t should always be
kept at $1,500,000 to prepare for emer-
gencies. He recommends overcoming the

BUCKET SHOPS WIN CASE
Judge Thinks Quotations on Grain
and Provisions belong 20
the Public.

ST. LOUIS, April G-Iniunctions sought
by the Chicago Board Of Trade TO establish
ownership OF the quotations on the future
prices Of grain and othe commodities were
denied by Judge Adams b the United states
district court today abd the dealing In
futures condemned.
The injunctions were asked for in June,
1901, against the D0nov4n Cells Commits
sion company OF st. Lolis. In the applioa-
tion for the injunction the Board Of Trade
alleged that the quotations for futures we're
given to the telegraph companies by the
Board OF Trade under a contract which
prohibited their sale te bucket shops and
that the firms named as defendants were
bucket shops and were mot entitled to the
quotations, which we're then being delivered
to them by some agsncy unknown.
The two cases brought for the purpose Of
making a test we're dismissed by Judge
Adams.
In the decision Judge Adams said:
The main question argued and the one
the property right. which every complain
ant may have IN the continuous quotations
In question, Is SO tainted with unsavoriness
as to preclude resort TO court OF equity
by the complainant for his protection.
II am satisfied" reads the opinion. ''that
many of the so-calIed sales for future de-
liveries which furnish the basis Of the
quotations are merely gambling transac-
tions. I'D.
THE right to monopolize the speed in
dissemination of information instructing
the public the price at which wagers are
made on future delivery OF grain and other
commodities by members Of the Board OF
Trade is continued"
Says Judge Adams: t..
The information as to the actual deliv-
cries would be very valuable to the public,
but Information as to the wagers, in my
opinion, has not legitimate tendency to
promote the commerce Qf the country, but
on the contrary to etelte the gambling
propensity of the public.
CHICAGO, April 6.-President Chandler
of the board of trade, said the United
States court at Kansas City had made an
injunction permanent. taking the opposite
view OF ownership in the quotations, and
the bucket shops had appealed. AS the
Kansas City case had precedence, and was
now on its way to the court of appeals,
the decision of Judge Adams would not be
appealed from.
