Protests were filed with the Board Of
Fire and Police commissioners yesterday
noon against the granting Of liquor u
censes the notices of which have not been
properly inserted in The Evening Bee, the
paper having the largest circulation in
Douglas county. The licenses protested
are those which have been advertised In
the World-Herald and the South Omaha
Daily Democrat. Investigation has proved
that the two papers mentioned have in
numerous, il not all cases published the
notices for the saloon men with the un-
Outstanding that IL their case failed in
the court of appeal as it did in the district
court the fee would not be exacted. The
Bee has assured the South Omaha men
that they will be completely protected in
their rights. In this controversy The Bee
has maintained from the start that IL has
the plain reading OF the statute known
as the Slocumb law behind its actions.
II is a significant fact that most OF
the South Omaha saloon men are having
more confidence in the statements of The
Evening Bee, since more than twenty no
tees were turned into The Bee Oftice for
publication yesterday forenoon. Most Of
these include the notices of the firms con-

ToWNE DISCOVERS AN ISSUE
western ConEressman from New York
Makes Bitter Attack on the
President.

KANSAS CITY. April H-Representa-
tive Charles A. Towne Of New York, re-
spending to a toast here last night at the
jefferson day banquet. went outside mis-
set speech to eulogize William j. Bryan
and to bitterly attack President Roosevelt.
Both sentiments aroused the most intense
enthusiasm, reference to the Nebraskan
ending in a demonstration that amounted
to an uproar. Mr.. Towne did not refer to
Mr. Bryan by name. Your POSTMASTER
has put on me the duty Of referring TO
our great standard-bearer Of 1885, said he.
Il feel almost that he himself, in far
away India, must be catching the enthu-
siasm of your homage tonight"
Mr.. Towne then read from an editorial
in which sympathy was offered to the dem
ocratic editor who was wont to- write col
umns on Imperialism ana free silver.
Il am as thankful as any one that the
money question has worked itself out so
satisfactorily" resumed Mr. Towne. But
l cannot accept in silence the popular YER
sion of why the predicted panic that was
to follow the adoption of the gold standard
did not materialize. The panic did not
occur because, since 1896, the country has
produced enough gold to supply the money
market without material increase in the
silver output. We owe our prosperity to
| Providence, not TO a policy. When men
refused to open the mint God opened the
mines"
Then Mr. Towne attacked President
! Roosevelt. I'm going to take you into
/ my confidence this much" said the speaker,
! by telling you that l am going back to
| Washington with the avowed purpose of
! exposing President Roosevelt. He is the
! greatest promiser and smallest performer
since the days of Judas Iscariot. He
! hlched his rate legislation program fron~a
! national democratic platform and has now
laid down on his own bill; he sends for
! legislators and lectures them like boys
! And his tools-consider them for a min
ute. They are a speaker and a degenerate
house Nowadays there are three steps
in national egisation-getting the permits
| sion of Uncle Joe to introduce a bill and
then securing it's passage in the house
! and the senate. / get no show in the
house 1 might as we'll make power of
attorney to the speaker and go back home
and get TO work. 1 wouldn't stay in con-
gress or in the democratic party If 1 did
not believe that democracy will eventually
| triumph in national affairs"
1t was far after midnight before the
speechmaking was finished and Mr..
Townes response was to one of the last
toasts on the program.

They will then appear in the evining issue
of the paper
Some of the saloon men intimated that
the Board of Fire and Police commissioners
had given them to understand that they
would get their licenses, whichever paper
they gave their notices to. This appears
to be an error. Secretary Burquest stated
that he invariably advised the men who
questioned him that he could not positively
say which paper was the right one, but
that the dealers should follow the courts
instructions and place the publications
with the paper which has the largest cir
culation in the county. The liquor dealers
are all anxious to comply with the laws of
