WRECK A HOME
Prosecutor Of Omaha Saloonkeep.
ers and His Family Attacked
by Dynamiters.

Omaha, Nov. 22.-The home Of Elmer
E. Thomas, prominent lawyer of this
city and attorney for the Civic Fedora
ton, was badly. wrecked by a bomb
placed on the front porch at CLOCK
this morning. Mr.. Thomas and his
family were in the house and he con-
siders it miraculaus that no one was in
jured.
Mrs. Thomas was awakened about Q
o clock by a noise on the front porch
and aroused her husband, believing that
burglars were trying to enter the house.
Mr.. Thomas began an investigation
and discovered fire on the front porch.
He picked up a large rug and attempted
to smother the flames when a terrific
explosion occurred. Altho but few
feet from the missile, he escaped in
jury.
The front wall of the house was blown
In, doors were shattered and an i'm
mense hole torn in the ground. The
interior Of the building is a wreck.
A squad of police was on the scene
In short time, but no clue to the per-
petrators Of the deed could be found.
The man evidently made a hasty es-
cape after setting the fuse which ex.
ploded the bomb. Mr.. Thomas saw no
one leaving the premises. The explo.
sion was heard for three miles.
Mr.. Thomas has been active fol
some time in the prosecution Of saloon.
keepers charged with violating the slo.
cum law, which provides for midnight and
Sunday closing of saloons. He also
has been acting for the Civic Federation
in the habeas corpus proceedings by
which Thomas Dennison has sought tc
avoid being taken into Iowa in connec
ton with the $4,000 Pollack diamond
robbery.
| To these circumstances Mr.. Thomas
said to the Associated Press that he at
tributed the attack on his home.

SMOOI TO HOLD
SEAT IN SENATE
Committee on Elections Will So
Recommendation Not Re-
e.. open Hearing.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Despite ap-
peals made by women s clubs, by the
w. G.. T. U. and religious bodies and
church societies, it is the present inten-
ton of the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections to recommend to the
senate that Rood Smoot be allowed to
retain his seat in the senate. 1t is not
the plan of the committee to reopen
the case when the senate convenes next
month. .... s.... ,
Some days ago Chairman Burrows
notified the attorneys on both sides OF
this fact and informed them that if
they desired that any more testimony
should be submitted, it should be hand
ed to the committee In the shape of
dispositions. This practically decides
the matter.
When the committee meets for the
consideration of business after the sen.
ate convenes the case may be taken up
at once and work begun on the majority
and minority reports. This report may
be submitted before March a next, but
it is not intended according to present
plans for a vote in the senate to be
taken until the next congress.
The democrats Of the committee will
make an effort to revive the hearings
but will not succeed. They practically
admit their case is lost.

different persons various stories as to
his destination. Suspicion was aroused

several hundred shares, besides the GER

Of the shares to his own name. Owing
to the form Of assignment which the

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Walter Wellman,
in Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
There is trouble ahead for the beef
packers Of Chicago and other western
cities. Attorney General Moody. has
decided to remain, for time at least,
at tho head Of the department. Of JUS
tice, his special reason being that he
sees a chance to do a big piece Of work
in connection with the investigation Of
the so-called beef trust, which the de-
partment Of commerce and labor has
been making under the direction Of
Commissioner Garfield Of the bureau OF
corporations.
induced to say 80 in plain words, the
inference is that enough has been 5is-
closed by the investigation to warrant
the conclusion that before the govern
ment is done with the beefpackers
suits are to be instituted by the gov
| ornment. a-. -. -z-s
Attorney General Moody had until
! recently expected to retire from office
| not later than March 4 next, for the
law. He has now Informed President
Roosevelt that he is willing to remain
for longer and indefinite time, and
the president is very glad indeed to re-
tain his services.
To what extent the investigation Of
the so-called trust has developed VIC
lation of the law and opened the way
for prosecution in the courts cannot
now be definitely determined. The evi
dence secured is voluminous and care
fully guarded. The most Of it will b
sent to the president and by him b
Etransmitted.af 80 congress wit dnaa fey

Women Crowd Into Courtroom to
See Actress on Trial for
Her Life.

New York, Nov. 22.-Search for
missing witness who formerly has elud
ed the detectives of the district attor-
ney's office and the possibility that
one Of the central figures in the case
the dead mans widow-would appear
before the jury and tell her story, were
when the trial Of Nan Patterson for the
alleged murder of Caesar Young was
resumed.
In outlining his case yesterday, AS
sistant District Attorney Rand in
formed the jury that the prosecution,
after months of endeavor, had been un-
successful in locating J. Morgan Smith
who, he claimed, purchased the revolver
hoped, however, that Smith would be
brought forward by the defense at the
proper time. Later in the day Miss
Patterson's counsel, Mr.. Levy, said the
defense had no intention Of producing
Smith.
Following the announcement 1t was
said that the district attorneys office
renewed it's search for the missing wit
ness with tho hope Of locating him and
compelling him to appear in court be-
fore it is too late. -.E - ..
Widow as Witness.
| Only the announcement that the de-
PENDANT herself would go on the stand
and tell Of her acquaintance with Young
could have created more public interest
than the report that the dead book
makers widow might appear in the
case. Since the day her husband died,
Mrs. Young has remained in seclusion,
except when she called at the district
attorneys office and testified before the
grand jury. During the trial she has
not appeared in the courtroom but 1t is
said she has followed all the proceed

Because of a difference of opinion on
a bill for repairs to his automobile, Presi-

HORSE FOOT WENT THROUGH


George Taylor was driving in over the
open lawn between the house occupied by
M. Parker and the one occupied by Mrs.
Henry Thomas on John street, with coal
for the latter yesterday, when one of the
horses gave an lawful grunt as his leg
sunk into a hole. The horse managed t.
draw the leg out, to Mr.. Taylor's sur
prise, for he said it was a wonder it was
not broken, as he took a shovel and IT
went in as far as he could reach down be-
fore touching anything solid. 1t was
not long before a terrible odor of gas
arose from the hole and for fear of its
causing 81 k e's, MIS-. Rathbons agent
was .notifled about it. They supposed
that it was an old cesspool and as it was
covered with earth they wonder that
someone had not gone through before
this.
