Jeneris ON the Issues.

Chairman Jefferis said II was incon-
eeivable to him that government by the
people meant an appeal to the baser in
stinets but on che contrary It was founded
upon the heart and mind and conscience
and the aspiration of humanity TO rise.
He spoke of the need of Omahas good
repute abroad and told of the fight among
the brewers to control the retail liquor
business in the city. which he said was
responsible for the city's somewhat dam
aged reputation abroad. The enactment
of the Slocumb law at the request of the
brewers was recited and the power of the
law explained I'm its efficacy so long as
few citizens wanted it enforced. Like the
other speakers, Mr.. Jefferis said that Sum
day closing is not real issue in the pend
ing campaign at all, but one forced I'm to
create prejudice in the voters against the
republican mayoralty candidate. He
showed how Roosevelt, Folk, Weaver and
other admired public men had won their
spurs and mounted the rostrum of public
approval by enforcing the law, placing them
alongside of Mr.. Benson in his desire TO
give the city a clean, economical and bust
nesslike administration.

Betting on the result OF the local cleo
ton Tuesday has taken squirt during the
last few days and the Dahlman hackers
have found plenty Of Benson money wait
ing TO be posted on even terms. Several
81, 200 bets of this character have been
posted. The gambling fraternity is still
trying to bull the market by Offering odds
on Dahlman, but the sums named are so
large as to preclude the possibility Of
acceptance.

Just how Jim Dahlman and ex-Sherin
Power succeeded in breaking all rules and
presidents at the Union Pacific freight
house this week by rolling a half-barrel
of beer among the truckers and leaders
probably will belong TO the unwritten his
tory of the campaign. This is what hap
pened, however, but Dahlman was not
able to get very close to the truckers
as most of them are Italians so he let the
beer try to speak for them.

Benson and Sunday Base Ball.


E. A. Benson met rather interrogating
crowd when he talked last night at
Twenty-seventh and Cunning streets. Sew
eral were anxious to know how Mr.. Benson
stood on certain questions and he readily
told them. One boy who had just passed
the age of q, in accordance with Mr..
Bensons request for questions on any
point where his hearers did not know his
attitude. called out, How about Sunday
base ban?"
MY friend, I have no intention of put
ting a stop to Sunday base ball." was the
answer II was a boy once and have a
base ball finger"
How about the lido" asked another man.
1.-The lid is on" said Mr. Benson. 'Mr
Dahlman did not put 1t on, and did not
put 1t on; Mr.. Dahlman cannot take 1t
off and l cannot take It on"
In answer to a question as to whether
he would treat the saloons in the parks
just as he treated the saloons downtown,
Mr.. Benson answered that everybody would
get the same treatment
He said he favored cheaper gas, the en-
couragement of the juvenile court and the
establishment of more parks and play
grounds.

DENIES CONGO STORY.
II. I. Koscalsky Explains Letters
To Take Criminal Action.

Henry l. Kowalsky asserted yesterday in his law
office. at No. 49 Wall street, that he would seek the
aid OF the criminal IN obtaining redress for
the publication in morning paper of letters sent
10 him last year by Thomas c. Garrett, secretary
of a subcommittee Of the United States Senate
which he said had been stolen from his Office files
The letters had been published. he said. with the
evowed intention OF making II appear that Mr.. Gar
rett was in the pay Of a lobbyist for the King of
the Begians. and selling secret information
for the purpose OF preventing intervention OF the
United States in the Congo Free State In of
the published letters the following statement:
I assure you that 7 appreciate your assurance
that you will stand by me in my new venture. but
II II Is just the same TO (and doubt not it is)
# here
The request Lr. Kowalsky said, referred % one
half OF about 500 which he had promised advance
TO Mr.. Garrett to pay travelling expenses in the
South in the organization of an immigration scheme
in which his friend DR.. Adolphe Danzlngur was in
terested' and which had relation whatever TO
the Congo affair DR.. Danznger. who formerly
was American Vice-Consul at Madrid and is the
author Of book on imm grafton, corroborated Mr..
Kowalsky and produced letters and circulars show
ing the connection of Mr.. Garrett with the Amer
ican Distributing Bureau for Immigrants" which
ne had organized. DR.. DanZinger had letters from
Mr.. Garrett referring his trips in the South.
They are referred to, also, in another of the letters
to Mr. Kowalsky, published yesterday morning,
follows:
/ LEFT New York one week ago to-day and FULLY
none / wrote the doctor. but have nothing all
IN reply. am at loss 10 understand. I have
turned over TO him much valuable data i'm the Way
Of names of parties and have more
In the publication of the letter, Mr.. Kowasky
said, there had been the evident purpose TO make
the public believe Mr.. Garrett referred TO nforn,a-
uon about the Congo affair, while. in fact, Mr.
Garrett referrei only to the scheme for diverting
immigration :" the South in which lie had been
employed by Danznger.
Mr.. kowalsky said he had sent message TO Mr.
Garrett asking him TO come 10 this city and aid in
the prosecution Of certain persons responsible for
the theft and publication of the letters He assert
ed that what Mr.. Garrett had written 10 him IN
