MAKING PIPE ORGANS.
Interesting Work That Is Done In
the Voicing Room.

Both the metal and wooden pipes of
a pipe organ are made on the selfsame
principle of the willow whistles that
every man made when he was a boy,
and So, after all, a pipe organ, the
mightiest musical instrument yet In
vented, Is but the evolution of that
primitive pipe of Pan, the willow whis-
tie.
The most interesting place in an or
gan factory Is the voicing room. Up to
the time the pipes enter this room they
are as dumb as broomsticks. Here the
breath of life is breathed into them,
and they are made to speak, each in
the voice intended by its maker. Here
the big fat pipes are taught to thunder
out their diapason and those scarce the
diameter of a slate pencil and one-half
an inch long to utter their shrill whis-
tie and others the thousands of varying
tones between. And not only must the
pipes Of one stop speak correctly as In
diyiduals and members of their own
particular family, but they must be In
accord with all the hundreds of others
in whose midst they are to live. To
see that they do this Is the work Of a
nan whose ear is keen to the slightest
variation and who must know why a
pipe does not speak as 1t should and
how to make it. One by one the pipes
are set upon the wind chest standing
here, with the bellows and all the In
ternal mechanism Of al organ properly
adjusted and with a keyboard In front
of him the voicer tests each one. By
changing the size and shape of the
aperture through which the wind pass
es he governs the tone until it Is exact
ly what it should be, a task which only
a man with the incest sense of sound
can accomplish.

The engineer was Dan Murphy, and the
fireman's name was Kacl.
The men working behind the car did not
hear the approaching train until 1t struck
their car. Then there was no time for
Larson to escape. The train pushed the
car twenty or thirty feet before it could
be stopped. All this time It was grinding
Larson's limbs to a pulp. Both his legs
were ground from the ankles UP. The in
jury extended to the lower part Of the
mans trunk so that no bandages could be
applied to give compression on the blood
vessels.
Every effort was made to relieve the

GROVE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Denies Charge Of Shooting Officer JaCkion
in September. .
IN DEFAULT OF BOND he is IN JAIL
Time of Trial IA Not Set, Rs
Opposing Counsel Could
Not Agree as to
Date.

Patrick Grove was arraigned before Judge
Day in criminal court Monday afternoon
to plead to the charge of having shot
Police officer jackson In making on es-
cape from a posse Of policemen, who had
located him on a street car near Sixteenth
and Center streets late in September
Grove was met by his attorney
James p. English, and when brought
before the bar entered plea of not guilty.
The arraignment took but a minute or two,
when Grove returned to the county Jail,
the routine of which seems not to have
affected him, except to make him a trifie
paler than when he arrived from Montana.
There is no further intimation Of an effort
to secure the $12, 900 bail which Grove must
furnish to get his liberty.
Judge Day made inquiry as TO when the
case was to be tried and County Attorney
Slabaugh said he had set next Monday as
the date and so notified Groves attorney,
James p. English. Mr. English said the
statement as to notification was correct, but
held It did not necessarily follow that the
trial could be started at the time named.
He wanted a fair amount of time in which
to prepare in such an important case, from
the prisoners standpoint. The names of
twehty-seven witnesses were indorsed on
the information, filed only last Thursday,
some of them living in Montana, and be
would have to arrange his defense to meet
all the evidence that might be offered He
suggested the first Monday in December as
the date for opening the trial.
Judge Slabaugh said the Montana wit
nesSes will not be called. They were placed
on the Information simply as precauton
but he had decided their evidence would
not be needed.
Mr. English still insisted the time he
asked would be required to prepare this
| prisoners defense.
/ Judge Day said he proposed to give ade
quate time for preparation, but withheld
his decision until Tuesday morning.
Grove was the first white man to b'
| arraigned on the brand new green Carpet
that was laid in the criminal court room
last Saturday and some facetious re
marks were passed anent the fact Grove
was dressed in a new tailor-made sui
that fitted to perfection. His shoes wer'
shined to the looking-glass point and h
made a very modest and prepossessing ap
pearance.

MORE talk IN WAFER CASE
Motion TO Dissolve INDUCTION Re-
straininE Appraisers from IncIud-
ing Outside Property Argued.

The argument on the motion to dissolve
the Injunction granted the Omaha water
board in July to restrain the appraisers
from including in their appraisement that
portion of the Omaha Water company's
property lying without the corporate limits
of Omaha was argued in the United States
circuit court before Judge Munger Monday.
The plea for the injunction was made ON
the ground the value Of the water COM
panys property outside the corporate linl-
it's of the city OF Omaha should be segre-
gated from the general appralsement OF the
entire property and the appraisement Of
each made separate.
The motion TO dissolve the injunction is
made by the water company and is resisted
by the water board. 1t appears no record
was made of the order of Injunction at the
time. although II was understood such an
order would be made. The court conceded
such to be the fact and held the motion to
dissolve was properly before the court
John L. Webster. for the water board
and city OF Omaha, in his opening argu-
ment reviewed the initiatory proceedings
Of the appraisement, which began July 90
1903, under the provisions OF ordinance
423, and said
1.-THE making of such appraisement by
the board OF three expert engineers had
continued up to January. 1905, at an ex-
pense to the city OF 5000. and the results
are no further manifest today than they
were at the beginning. The appraisers re-
ceived 800 per day for their efforts, when
II was understood by the city the cost
would not exceed $50 per day for the ap-
praisers, and the appraisement would not
occupy more than sixty or ninety days.
However nearly two years have passed
and nothing Is accomplished. although the
appraisers have been provided with tech
meal maps of the water works system.
But these maps include the entire system,
South Omaha, East Omaha and Florence.
The appraisement was conducted on that
general basis without. segregation, and
hence the value OF the plant in Omaha
will not be aseertained on that basis in
a hundred years. The city and water board
do not object to a general appraisement
but what was wanted by the city and
water board was the appraisement OF the

\ gated"
Mr. Webster concluded his argument al
S15 Monday afternoon and was followed
by Howard Mansfield OF New York for ths
water company. Mr.. Mansfield commended
that ordinance No. AZ might have beer
made more specific and said the right L
buy the plant should include only that por

TWO LIVES Lust IN CRASH
LsbOrsn Killed At New Hayden Building
from Tie Rod Breaking.
BURIED BENEATH TONS OF CONCRETE
Death Ensues Instantly and Large
Force works Hour and Half
Recovering Bodies OF
the victims.

Albert Lumpkin and James Mcnamara,
laborers. working on the hreproonng at
the new Hayden Bros. building on Doug
las street, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth, were buried in nearly 100 tons OF
concrete and brick Monday morning. when
a tie rod In one of the sections of the
hreproofing broke on the fourth floor. where
the men were working, and were killed in
stantly. The section that gave way car
ried the next one below with 1t and each
succeeding section gave way under the in
creasing weight until the sub-basement was
reached.
II took a large force of men an hour and
a half to dig out the bodies. The men
were found close TO each other. Coroner
| Bradley took charge of the bodies and will
arrange for an early inquest.
Albert Lumpxin was 26 years of age,
boarded at 1922 California street and came
to Omaha from Chicago, where his relatives
reside. James Mcnamara was o. lived at
III South Seventeenth street and was from
Dayton, o. Both men were single The
men were in the employ OF j. r. Lehmer,
who has the contract for the freproofng,
concrete and steel work on the building
At the time of the accident Lumpkin.
Mcnamara and a man named j. Corbett
were working on section in the center OF
the building on the fourth floor Corbett
escaped by clinging to a rod when the sec
ton gave way. He was working near the
edge Of the section and had chance to
save himself. AS he left the building with
out reporting to the timekeeper the first
report was he had been killed.
The Rod Gives Way.
So far as can be determined the breaking
| of tie rod weakened the section and
caused 1t to drop. The whole thing hap
pened quickly, the two men being in the
| Endorsement beneath the debris before
anyone could realize what had happened
The mass OF brick and concrete pierced
each floor with heavy thud
Foreman Gardner of the freproohne
work estimated that about 100 tons of tn,
proofing fell, the distance from the toI
of the fourth floor to the floor of the sub
basement being seventy-fve feet.
General Contractor Jobst refused to com
init himself on the accident until he mad,
a thorough, investigation of the affair.
The system of fireproofing being installed
at the new store is known as the RapI
system, this being the first of the system
to be placed in this city. The sections
