Democratic Gang Rule for Omaha Saloon Keepers

Il realize. Of course, that the position Of
city prosecutor carries with II considerable
power that may be used to extremes either
way. but have always conducted an or
derby place and never yet in the years that
/ have been in business In Omaha, have I
been obliged to ask for protection or
forced to go into police court and defend
myself against any charge. And 50 don't
believe that at this late date 1 am going
to knuckle down to a proposition Just be-
cause club is hung over my head 1 don't
believe there's any use to court trouble so
for that reason 1 will ask you not to use
my name"
This is the utterance Of saloon keeper
in Omaha who has been In business for
years. The full meaning Of the statement
may be better appreciated when all the
circumstances are known.
Certain well known democratic brethren
are giving lessons in the occult science Of
combining business with politics. one Of
these brethren Il z. +. Howell, known
chiefly as the man who runs for mayor
every few decades, and another Is Herbert
S. Daniel. recently elected city prosecutor
and also secretary Of the state democratic
committee, as well IS a member OF Gilbert
NJ. Hitchcock's special campaign commit
tee. Mr.. Daniel is supposed 20 be new at
the game Of politics as well as that Of law,
but his friends say he is displaying re-
markable signs Of getting onto the ropes"
The fact that the city prosecutorshlp IS
an office fraught with great possibilities is
said not to have escaped the keen observa-
ton OF Mr.. Daniel, nor, OF course that OF
his astute and experienced friend. Ed
Howell. II is even said that Mr Daniel
and Mr.. Howell have peered inquiringly
out ipto the future and perceived certain
circumstances under which saloon keepers
might fall under the ban OF the law as II
is directed by the city prosecutor and that
by a certain Interpretation of that law the
city prosecutor might have it In his power
to make things unpleasant as we'll as un-
profitable for the said saloon keeper,

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 8-"when Victor
H Metcaf arrives to inquire into the
action taken by the Board OF Education of
the city and county Of San Francisco In
providing a separate school for Japanese
children we will meet him more than
half way" was the statement Of President
Aaron Altman today.
"The position taken by the board was
for the best interests of the public schools
OF San Francisco and in strict conformity
with the state laws We believe that the
best interests of schools should be sub
served by sending children OF Japanese
parentage to a separate school. II we have
erred and can be shown whereby we have
done so. the board will be more than
pleased 10 correct its mistake-if any has
been made.
without recedlng from our position we
claim that the fault. II any exists. is with
the legislative body OF the state. In plain
and unmistakabe language that particular
section of the statute under which the
board acted states that all children OF
oriental parentage shall be placed in a
separate school. The board would like to
have the constitutionality Of the statute
tested in the courts"
Many Jap students Are Adults.
City School superintendent Alfred Ron

of Japanese from the schools provided for
white children is required by law.

Mrs, Pearl Keeler.
Three-year-old son Of Mrs. Keeler.
It is supposed that the gas escaped from
a leaking main somewhere ia the block. and
that after a sufficient quantity had accumu-
lated it became ignited, causing the explo-
sion. The buildings were IN a row on East
Eighth street, and were coupled by real
estate office, three stores and a restaurant.
The second floors Of all the buildings were
occupied as rooming houses.
Neither Ross nor Mrs Mcdaniel was
killed outright by the explosion. but both
were frightfully injured and died shortly
afterwards at hospital
Brick and glass struck the negro cab
man, and Mrs. Mcdaniel was crushed by
falling debris. The entire block OF FIVE
buildings was leveled to the ground, and
only broken bricks, scattered lumber and
twisted iron remain. The buildings and
stocks I'm them are total loss, as none OF
them was insured against gas explosion.
A fire broke out Immediately after the
explosion but the flames were quickly ex-
unguished and little damage was done from
that source. Several persons were buried
in the debris but Mrs Mcdaniel was the
only one fatally hurt. The others who were
rescued were only slightly injured. One
little girl, a daughter OF S. d. Frazier OF
the Kansas Land company, was under the
timber and brick for twenty minutes, but
was taken out uninjured.
Search of the ruins is still being made
tonight in the hope OF finding the little
Clossen boy. who was In the grocery store
with his father when the explosion took
place, and who has not been heard Of since
1t is believed that he is dead and his body
will be found in the ruins

constitute the formal announcement
of project of prominent foreign
bankers, associated with Joseph Ram

will cost about $15O,O00, 900.
Complete surveys have already
been made, and it is expected that
work preliminary to actual grading

gin this fall. 1t is expected that the
road will require three years to con-
struct. 1t is contemplated to operate
1t with electric locomotives. 1t will
be known as the New York, Pittsburg

EXTRADITI0N WAS ILLEGAL.
A Federal Judge Orders the Release
from Prison of a Man Convicted
Of Conspiracy.

New York. - Charles C. Brown,
former examiner of silks in
the government customs service in
this city, was on Tuesday ordered re-
leased from Sing Sing prison by Judge
Hough, of the United States court, on
a writ of habeas corpus. Browne was
recently brought back from Canada,
where he had fed after giving bail
and was taken direct to prison. His
counsel claimed this was in violation
of the extradition treaty between the
United States and Canada.
Browne was convicted in March,
1904, of having conspired to defraud
the government by passing silks at
underrated values and sentenced to
serve two years in Sing Sing prison.
He took an appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals and
lost. He then jumped his bail of S12,-
500 and fed to Canada. The Canadian
government refused eXtradition on
the conspiracy charge, but eXtradited
Browne on an amended charge of be-
ing fugitive from justice. A secret
service agent started with Browne
for New York from Montreal on July
26 His attorneys expected that he
would be brought to New York, in.
stead United States Marshal Henkel
met the secret service agent and
Browne at Poughkeepsie and took the
prisoner direct to Sing Sing prison.
Counsel for Browne contended that he
was practically kidnapped.
In his opinion discharging Browne
from custody Judge Hough declared
that there is no authority vested, in
the United States government to seize
or hold a person extradited in pursu-
ance of treaty provisions except upon
the charge on which the extradition
was granted.
