DAN BALDWIN IS MISSING
Omaha Detective Assigns Salary, Draws 1t
and Leaves the City.
FAMILY AND FRIENDS At A LOSS
Second Time During His Career
as Peace Omcer He Has Left
His Home in This
Manner.

Detective Dan P. Baldwin Of the Omaha
police force assigned his September salary
at least four times and his october wages
once collected the money and left the
city for parts unknown, according to evil
dence supplied at the city hall. The hrst
assignment presented was to L. Heller ana
was for September and october as well.
The September claim will be paid to
Heller, as he had the luck to get his as
Segment over the bars first. The other
assignments were to L. A. Goldsmith,
saloon keeper of the burnt district. to the
Dun Green Loan company and to Arthur
Metz. The last named assignment was
presented, but not accepted. 1t came in
later than the others, which appeared at
different hours September g. That some
thing was wrong was suspected in the
comptroller's department, but nothing was
said about the matter until l.. A. Gold
smith appeared with the information that
Detective Baldwin had shaken Omaha dust
and the delights of the Ak-sar-Ben from
his sturdy frame, got his hands on a
bunch of money and lit out.
Last Time on Duty.
Baldwin was on duty the last time a
week ago Monday night. He was working
on the night shift at the city jail at the
no intimation OF his sudden departure to
the officials of the police department. Chief
Donahue and others of the department
are at loss to account for Baldwin,
conduct. Baldwin was one Of the most
reliable and valued officers on the Omaha
police force. There was nothing too haz-
ardous for him to undertake. His as
sociates feel keenly his unceremonious
leavetaking He left a wife and several
| children who have not heard from him.
A number of years ago Baldwin disap-
peared suddenly, to turn up later at Kan
sas City, where he was picked up by the
police in state of mental alteration. He
returned to Omaha and since that time
! has been a faithful ofieer.
Baldwin has been widely known for his
remarkable physical strength. being al.
most giant in powers and endurance
and terror to rebellious evil-doers.

STRIKE WORRYING
THE CATTLEMEN

NJ. E. Miner, the range Cree sus,
was in the city Sunday, and he foresees
possible serious complications for Mon
tana stock interest growing out OF
the telegraph operatorsstrike. 1.-THE
unequal distribution of rain this year
will not render the cattle from all
the ranges fit for shipment at the
same time," says Mr.. Miner, land
consequently the shipments may be
spread over a longer period TIL an
usual. That state of affairs would
rebound to the benefit of the stock
men, but If the strike is not ended
soon the shipments will be massed
later in the season, and the railways
will not be able to furnish facilities
enough in the limited time that
would remain for moving the range
cattle. Furthermore, the quantity
that weuld be shipped out enmasse
would break the market, if anything
that is as purely fictitious as results
from beef-trust control could be called
market.
"The stockmen," continued Mr..
Miner" as is we'll known, have
suffered long time Of hardship and
loss. If any cause prevents the free
shipments of their beeves the present
season financial disaster will result to
them that will affect every other
business in the state.
"The raising of cattle, which is a |
perishable commodity, is particularly
attended with much expense and an
certainty under the best of circum-
stances. The stockmen hoped for
much when a government investiga-
zion of the packing business was
ordered, butit appears to be only a |
grandstand play on the part Of the
president, who is apparently satisfied
with the silly Garfield report.'
Mr.. Miner is shipping mainly from
Valley county and reports the ship
nents as well under way as possible
under strike conditions.

THE SUBWAY FLOOD.

Interesting facts came to light yesteroay
about the big water main, the bursting Oh "nict
ON Sunday flooded the subway and interrupted
travel there for thirty-six hours The pipe hho
been damaged by blasting two or three years
before had been out of service almost ever
since, and was repaired only few days ago
That the main was not fully restored TO lts orig
inaI condition is evident. Thus Is raised uae
question whether 1t is possible to recover any
damages from the contractors who conducted
the work Of repair so imperfecty. Unpleasant
suggestions are offered, too about the condl-
ton Of water mains elsewhere which may nave
been weakened by the same causes, though taey
have not yet given way. AS The Tribune re-
marked yesterday, the necessity has also arisen
for inquiry into the completeness with whlch
the subway has been rendered waterproof
None Of these revelations or perpleNtes, now
ever, have any real bearing on commissioner
Oakley's responsibility for what happened after
the accident. His lack of administrative aoli-
ity stands out as distinctly to-day as 1t did yes
terday. Entirely aside from any mistakes he
may have made in regard to gas contracts, TINS
exhibition Of incompetency alone would Jusury
a stern rebuke from his official chief. The ex-
cuses offered by and for Mr.. Oakley Will not
satisfy the hundreds of thousands OF people

TBg BARBOR OF ANTWERP

An announcement of much Importance to the
owners of ships that visit Antwerp Is made by
foreign technical periodicals. That port Is to un-
dergo extensive improvements at a cost Of $780,
1000 For fully ten years the subject has been
under consideration by the Belgian government,
and a variety OF plans have been discussed.
Each Of them provoked more or less criticism.
Engineering, financial, political and other objec-
tions were so numerous that agreement upon
any one scheme seemed impossible; but most of
the drawbacks which were foreseen Will be
obyiated by the plan now adopted. The work
will be undertaken in earnest before many
weeks
To the tourist Antwerp has always presented
many attractions. Its art galleries alone have
a charm possessed by those Of few other cities
in Europe. For this reason it is often chosen
by the visitor to the Continent as the first in
which to set his foot It Is nearer to America,
too thar either Bremen or Hamburg, its chief
rivals. From a strictly commercial point Of
view Rotterdam is more nearly on an equality,
perhaps. but even now it cannot match Antwerp.
The latter has much longer line of quays than
its Dutch neighbor, and exceptional facilities for
unloading grain, which Is brought thlther from
Russia or the United States.
When the Belgian engineers have completed
the transformation which they are about to
initiate Antwerp will have 373 miles Of quays,
which is said to be more than any other port in
the world now possesses Another feature OF
the programme is the construction of a great
canal. SIS feet wide and nine miles long This
waterway will be straighter and deeper than
the Scheldt. for which it will be a substitute.
One end will leave the old channel within the
city limits, and the other will rejoin the river
near Lilo to the northward Of Antwerp. The
full benefit of the changes to be wrought will
not be felt for about ten years. Modern meth
ods of dredging make excavation easy work.

the other Improvements are entirely consum-
mated. One of the most pleasing assurances
given by the men who will be IN charge of them
Is that navigation will not suffer while they are
In progreSs.

to benefit under the new regime

Unexpectedly won two years before In the 9th
District Colonel Campbell Slemp, the Repub-
lican nominee, had plurality In 1902 Of about
200. Last year q concerted effort was made to
defeat him. Yet he was returned by plural
ity of over 1000. Similar gains In other dis
tricts would easily have carried the State.
A bitter fight for the Democratic nomina tons
for Governor and United States Senator is now
in progress In Virginia. Governor Montague Is
seeking to displace Mr.. Martin IN the Senate
and Representative Swanson and Lieutenant
Governor willard are rivals for the Governor
ship. The Old Dominion voters are beginning
to take q broader and saner interest In politi-
cal questions. The spectre of negro domine-
ton has bean laid and an opposition party can
DOW appeal for support On issues which do not
involve racial hatreds and prejudice. The re-
suit in the 9th District last year shows what
can be done under courageous and aggressive
leadership. Such leadership this year can re-
store the Republican organizations strength
and put 1t In position to play a role Of con-
sequence in Virginia politics. 1t will be party
misfortune If through Incidence or factional
frictions so excellent an opportunity Is mishan-
died ssld lost.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN

virginia elections have been for many years
past mocsery Of popular suffrage, for since
the overthrow OF the Reaajuster party election
returns have generally been manipulated to
suit the purposes OF the Democratic machine
In theory the manhood suffrage guarantees of
the Constitution Of 1865 remained In force BUT
u practice the partisan election boards appoint
eo by the Democratic ring took any liberties
tbey pleased In canvassing the ballots they ac-
eepleo- Fuonc sentiment was at last so out,
rageo py election scandals and abuses that the
- ocisuc party undertook to reform the elec-
uoa machinery and to Introduce at the same
time restricted suffrage system. The con.

North Carolina model disfranehisad from three
fourhs TO four-ffths OF the former negro voters

as have paid certain taxes for three years IN
succession and can pass certain nteracy fest,
THIS year g Governor and other State officers
VIII be elected for the first time under tha now
constitution, and the result will go long wav
toward determining how far the voters OF Vir-
glnia have again assumed the habits of a free
sef-goyerniag electorate
Undoubtedly many important political changes
have been wrought by the limitations put on
the suffrage and by the practical elimination
or the negro vote Presidential electors were
chosen last fall under the new constitution. A
marked decline In voting strength WAS ex-
pected, but 10 one had anticipated the shrink
age Of over 80 per cent which actually occurred
In 1900 the vote for electors OF all parties
was 264ss7o. Last year it was only 129 1O3
Strangely enough the loss fell almost equally
on the Democratic and Republican organiza-
tons. The Democratic total dropped from 49,
OSo 10 s0s63S-a loss OF 65.4 .442 The Republican
total fen from u5,565 to 46,45o-a loss of e.
As. The Democratic plurality rose from 3d.

emf, herefore, that the Republican party In Vir-
gtnia hss not been killed or even crippled by
Ess changes made IN suffrage qualifications. On
