The indictment of South Omaha's

MCCALL QUITS N. Y. LIFE
Crest Leader Mho Has Withstocd Fire
of Insurance investigation,
Resigns His Position.

New York, Jan. S.-The Times says.
today: 1t vas made known last night
upoa excellent authority that john y.
Mccall resigned on saturday the presi-
dency Of the New York Life Insur-
anee company. The resignation was res
l%uctantly accepted by the trustees. :,
Official announcement of the resigna-
ton has been planned by the trusteea
TO be made next 1-lesday when the am
nual statement is 10 be made public.
Mccall last night would not reply to
q request that he confirm h report OF
his resignation. {
In his letter OF resignation, President
Mccall said that after long and careful
consideration he had felt it best to.
take such step. In h months dur
ing which the insurance controversy
has affected the New York life, he said,
his peace OF mind had suffered from
continuous misunderstanding and mis-
representation of his actions N distor-
ton of facts and misquotation of his
u%tterances by newspapers. He was
not in good health now and felt it
would be best for himself and company
if he resigned the presidency.
Protests We're made by evera trus-
tees against receiving the resignation
and there was evidently u desire on the
part of these trustees that Mccall
should still retain the presidency, de-
spite demands from outside the COM
pany for his deposition.
1t was made plain to these trustees,
however. that Mccall would abide by
his resignation and it was then ac-
copied. with appropriate expressions of
regret.
All trustees We're pledged to secrecy
until Tuesday next. John Clafin, the
dry goods merchant, who is trustee of
the New York Life, has frequently
been spoken of as McCall's successor,
but it is by no means certain that

GHOST uPsETs A TOWN.
Haunts schooIhouse and Disappears
When Cornered-Feopie Are
Eriuhtened.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 3.-This city is
IN an uproar over the remarkable do
ings of a ghost. This ghost does not
wait for nightfall, but goes abroad by
day also. Its most frequent appearance
has been at a window OF the Musgrave
school house, where a strange face.
peering out, has frightened many timid
women. The same thing has occurred
after dark, and although soothing neigh
bors have tried to capture the ghost on
person in the school building, it has
eluded their efforts, and the affair is as
much n mystery today as ever.
~ group of awestricken spectators
We're watching the windows of the
school house one night when the face
appeared plainly visible in the moon
light. Former Policeman Lyman was
in the crowd, and undertook to investi-
gate at close range. hut when he APP
preached the window the unknown per-
son or thing threw down missiles from
an upper window This material evil
dence of ghostly m%alisnity was too
much for some of the crowd, and they
took flight.
The majority remained, however,
backed by the policeman's assurance
that it was some cra2y person. When
he %telephoned for Anderson. of the reg
ular force, it was believed that at last
the ghost would be captured. The pc,
licemen again approached the entrance
to the building, but this time the CHOSE
threw down a heavy iron bah and a
barrel of waste paper, narrowly MISS
ing Mr.. Lyman. The crowd strength
enc their guard around the building.
Watching every windo and door, while
the policemen entered the building and
pursued the spook through h COR
ridors and upstairs. They could not
catch sight of the ghost, but plainly
heard its footsteps.
Nearing the garnet the men We're
dumbfounded to see that Il ladder lead-
ing up into the garret.had been drawn
up. Positive that the ghost was cor
mered at last, one man remained on
guard, With a revolver in each hand,
while the other obtained another ladder.
Officer Anderson then tool his lantern;
in his teeth, Il revolver in one hand. and
climbed the ladder into the garnet.
There lay the other ladder which had
been drawn up, but not q trace of the
ghost or person could be seen. The floor
had no hiding places and the skylight
was fast on the inside. Mr.. Anderson
says he felt his hair rise under his hat
When his search of the garnet proved
the building was empty. The guard
outside was equally positive that no
person could ave escaped. &

Morales, Fugitive President of San
Domingo, Appears off Puerto

Puerto Plata, San Domingo, jan. g.
The Dominican gunboat Independence
has anchored off Puerto Plata. Her
commander las demanded that the
town surrender to the legitimate gov

twenty-four hours, otherwise he will
lombard the town. The gunboat has.
landed troops safely.

by cable from a Domingo state there
is little probability of b-ombardment of
Puerto Plata by the gunboat indie
pendencia.
The United States warships Nashville
and Scorpion are in the harbor and ne
gotiations are in progress which makes
it probable that both factions of the
Dominicans will be warned to make
their fight outside of the town if they
desire to fight at all.
Seems Very Serious.
Washington. d. c., JAM 1.-The latest
advices received at the state and navy
departments from San Domingo are
patches from the island and show that
while conditions are unsettled, all is
quiet.
AS viewed in official circles here, the
situation is serious and ne u@.4e- -,
pressed that a clash of the ~contendiAg
interests is probable.
From the tone of the dispatches it is
evident that both sides are anxious
there shall be no interference With
American interests and tina their prop
erty and other rights shall not be
jeopardized as a result OF internal trou-
bles.
They also show that kilograms from
various portions of the island are being

HALE is SENATE LEADER
Aldrich Has lost Caste and influence
The Maine Senator

Washington, Jan. 4.-Eugene Hale.
the senior senator from Maine, has be-
come the recognized leader of the SEN
ate. For two years or more Aldrich has
been losing caste and influence. The
senate explanation for it is that Aldrich
apparently has taken less interest in
senate affairs than formerly. 1t may
be that the in Which the news
papers of the country have exploited
the senate representative of the Rookie
Teller interests has had something to do
with this senate attitude. Present con-
ditions are to the liking of the men of
the Aldrich type. The Rhode Island
senator still retains the chairman
ship Of the nance committee. which
corresponds with the house COMMITTEES
in the lower body the house floor lead
ership. But Aldrich is now playing in
the background.
There is a senate committee called the
committee on committees 1t is this
COMMITTEES which determines what
committee places each senator sha
have and likewise determines; the chair
manships. Should this authority be Civ
Ell oveT to the vice president as it is to
the speaker of the house it would make
of that official the most powerful legis-
lative power in congress. His influence
in the. nation would be second only to
that of the president. if second at all.
Senator Hale is chairman of the COM
lafttee on committees.
Hale al done the things Allison
could easily have done had the Iowan
been less of a trimmer. But with adj
vancing a the Iowa senator has be-
come more and more guarded in his
assertions. Apparently he mas lost
