NO DEMAND FOR SPINNEY
Requisition Not Asked for President
OF the Bankers Union of
the World.

The report that requisition had been is
sued by Governor Mickey for the return
OF DR.. E. c. spinney Of the Bankers Union
OF the World from Chicago on a criminal
charge is denied by attorneys here who
are interested in claims against DR.. Spin
ney and the Bankers Union According
TO the report, M. A. Hall OF Omaha had
secured the requisition. Mr. Hall denied
Saturday morning that he had ever APP
piled for requisition papers. Last Thurs
day he was In Lincoln and had a talk with
Insurance Commissioner Pierce and with
Deputy Attorney General Thompson, In
which they discussed proposed proceedings
against Spinney, but no action has been
taken yet and those interested are still
undecided as to what course they will take.
The charge made against DR., spinney Is
that he filed false. aftidavits with the in
surance department relating 10 the nnan-

PRAISES FOR HORSE SHOW
Big Whips Garry Away Coed Words Of
Fair Treatment Here.
ADvEs1lsEs OMAHA AND DRAWS STABLES
Reginald Vanderbilt and w, g.
watson Promise to Bring Their
Fine Horses to Omaha
Next Fall.

Omaha's position in the horse show
world is established and the Omaha horse
men who have returned from the Chicago
show bring nothing but glowing reports Of
the fine things which are being said about
Omaha and the clean show it put UP. Ex-
cept St. Louis, Omaha had the most sue
cessful show Of any on the Circuit this fall
and it is the talk OF the east. When Presi-
dent F. p. Peck went to the Chicago show
last week Reginald Vanderbilt said TO Mr..
Peck: ..t tt
II understand Omaha had one of the
cleanest and prettiest shows ever given,
and you may count my horses in for next
season, for they and will be there"
This from a man With over thirty show
horses is good starter on the show for
next year
w. c. Watson, the millionaire from Bal
timore. who won most Of the prizes at
Kansas City. this fall also was at Chi
cago and had twenty-five horses at the
show. He also spoke of the many nice
things he had heard of the Omaha Horse
show and said he could be counted on for
Omaha, as he would surely send out his
horses next fall.
Manager Roberts Of the Lawrence Jones
stable said before leaving Omaha;
show wherever go, for II was one OF the
cleanest / ever attended, and any one with
horses which could win at Omaha can win
at Madison Square or at the Chicago
show"
With these men 81 the head of the birg-
est individual stables in the country sing
ing the praises Of Omaha ali over the
country, this city is fast taking a. position
in the front rank Of horse shows.
THAT Is the best advertising a town
can have said one Of the directors OF the
show. When 80 many are telling of the
fair treatment they received at Omaha It
makes the best kind OF advertising for the
city"
The directors have taken considerable
pains 20 inquire from the merchants who
subscribe to the horse shows their senti-
ments as to the good the. show does and
whether It pays from an advertising stand
point for the city.
Keep the show going by all means" said
one prominent merchant, for Il is the best
thing the town has in several ways. Be
sides making the people patronize the fner-
chants in preparation for the show in a
most liberal way II gives thousands an OPP
portunity TO commingie ana brings large
numbers from the surrounding towns
This is the sentiment heard on all sides.
The railroads have compiled statement
as to the people brought In for the last
show and while the number IL not nearly
as great as for Ak-Sar-Ben week, the mer-
chants say they had splendid results from
those who came. The Union Pacific brought
In $50 people the Burlington $50. Rock
Island, 200; Milwaukee, nifty; Northwestern.
900; Missouri Pacific. rs; Wabash, 100 and
the Great Western, nifty: making a total Of
20l5. The high-class restaurants were alled
and the hotels eould not accommodate the
demand.

Remainder Of the Year,
AT TWELVE TONIGHT DOORS Will SHUT
Neither Mayor Nor Police Chief Issues
Orders, but Liquor Dealers Act
to Avoid Trouble I'm Re-
newinR Licenses.

The lid" IL to go on again at II O'Clock
tonight 1t was the general understanding
among saloon men Saturday morning that
they would close on Sundays beginning to-
morrow and of their own 'volition," 10
preclude trouble in securing renewal Of
licenses for 1907. This action is the result
of Governor Mickey's conference Friday
afternoon at the Millard hotel with rep
resentatives of the Civic Federation and
the Fire and Police Commission. Neither
the mayor nor police commissioners will
give Chief of Police Donahue any orders
regarding the matter OF Sunday saloon
closing. The chief of police stated Satur-
day morning he was acting under orders OF
the mayor and Fire and Police Commits
GlOners and was always ready 70 obey
their orders, but as yet had not received
any orders regarding the closing of saloons
on Sunday. leaving a clear Inference he
would take no action in the way of ar
resting saloon men who violated the Slo-
eumb law by remaining open on Sunday.
RentIemen's Agreement Reached,
Attorneys for the brewers and saloon
men had a short conference Saturday morn
ing with Mayor Dahlman and Chief
Douahue. 1t was reported that gentle
meas agreement" was reached, that the
saloon men would solve the situation by
closing tomorrow on the grounds they
know there is a slocumb law providing for
Sunday closing.
Mayor Dahlman was outspoke1 Saturday
morning regarding his position in the
mgtter. He said

LAKE WHITEFISH ALMOST GONE
Government Asked to Provide FuRds
to Prevent Passing of the
Finny DeIicacy.

That the whitefsh Of the Great Lakes
are passing as rapidly from existence as
did the millions of bison which at one
time swarmed the American prairies is
an undisputable fact, and with the reali-
cation that with the departure of the
whitehsh industry the United States gov
eminent loses one OF it's most remunerative
Industries, and also one Of the most val
liable food products on the market it is
strongly urged that some remedy be
adopted at once.
A man prominently connected with one
of the government FISH hatcheries and
who is well informed on the question Of
FISH culture and propagation stated that
the one and only successful remedy is to
promptly increase the capacity of the
various hatcheries.
1.-THE government should be willing to
expend ten times the amount of money
It now does on the propagation of the
whitehsh" said the hatchery man, be
cause the whitehsh is the most valuable
fresh-water FISH known, and even exceeds
the value OF salmon $50 per ton in the
eastern markets, while considerable more
is paid out yearly for the Pacific coast
hatcheries.
and then, too" he continued $40, 900
more whitefsh eggs can be Handled in
the same space taken by salmon eggs"
To illustrate the seriousness Of the I'M
pending whitehsh destruction, the follow
ing figures. which are correct in every
instance, were given out for publication:
The catch OF whitehsh in Michigan in
1891 was $4,000 pounds, while in 1904
1t fell on to 4,1970O0 pounds. In Lake
Erie the catch for 1889 was 100000
pounds, and in 1899 IL came to 100000
uNnk IN
Ontario decreased from 100000 pounds
to 2Ss5,ooo pounds.
The total catch OF whitehsh in the Great
Lakes on both the American and Cana
dian sides in 1904 exceeded $4,000 fish.
averaging two pounds and half in
weight, and the loss Of eggs contained in
these fish exceeds $4,000, 100000. In 1905
the combined hatcheries OF the United
States and Canada only propasated the
eggs from less than 10000 hsh, which is
altogether inadequate to overcome the
great loss OF eggs destroyed by the dsner-
men.
Lake Michigan alone In 1904 gave up
100000 fish, and It is safe to say that
Lake Erie provided 10000 o. the hnny
tribe so as TO overcome this loss the
eggs OF fully 1890 hsh should be prop
agated each year.
A thres-pound WhitehBh. yields over 3d.
900 eggs, but OF these only % per cent
hatch, and only per cent Of these reach
maturity-that is. 4 years old.
Last year the American and Canadian
hatcheries propagatsd less than 2oo,cooooo
fry while the number OF eggs In hsh
caught was g. 10000
Forty years ago the catch Of whitehsh
in the Detroit river on the American side
alone exceeded l.OOoOOo pounds annually,

because / believe public sentiment Is
stronSly opposed to sucn u course. But 1
believe the saloon men would be wise to
take heed of the governors stand Friday
afternoon and thus prevent possible trouble
In the matter OF securing their licenses. My
stand in this matter is we'll known and l
do not intend to withdraw from the stand
have taken The chief OF police receives
his orders from me. but in the matter Of
Sunday saloon closing I. like some Judges
OF the district court interpret some laws
literally and to conform with conditions
The mayor is the city's conservator of the
peace and chief executive l further be-
lieve that IL Chief Donahue should fan TO
arrest saloon men tomorrow for remaining
open there would be sufficient public senti-
ment behind him to prevent his removal
from ONCE should any be inclined to GUST
him on that account believe the general
public interests will be subserved by not
attempting to close the saloons on Sunday"
Tilt After the Big Meeting
After the meeting at the Willard hotel
Friday the mayor and several Of the Civic
Federation representatives had little dis
cussion on the merits OF their opposing CON
tentions. The mayor pointed out that the
controversy resulted from difference of
opinion, each side contending It was in the
right. Or. A. B. somers declared Omaha a
city Of unusual wickedness for its size.
while the mayor argued otherwise.
Commissioner w. ]. Broatch wanted to be
excused from saying any more on the sub
Ject than he said Friday afternoon. He did
say. however, that the board would not give
Chief Donahue any orders on the Sunday
closing matter. which was exactly in line
with the contention OF the commissioners
at the hearing on October IS. Commissioner
George /. Miller took the same position
The situation now is. II the saloons re-
main elossd on Sundays the Civic Fedora
/ tion has gained it's point without causing
the commissioners TO recede from their po-
sition: but II the saloons open again, then
tho issue win be, shall the commissioners
or the mayor or both. command the chief

IN DEFENSE OF DRAW POKER
Kentucky's star-Eyed Goddess Speaks
y Friendly Word for the
Game.

H. G. Wells, the peripatetic Briton who
has branded the great American game OF
draw poker dull, may be merely a cheap
bidder for notoriety who takes the OBJ
viously untenable position for the purpose
OF provoking discussion and drawing at
tention to himself. If he is in earnest he is
ill-informed. Many interesting opinions
upon poker have been delivered by the
pulpit and the press, but Mr.. Wells view
is unique, not to say ridiculous.
Draw poker has been rightly charged
with wrecking homes, with numbering
sleep. with taking the bread from the
mouths OF children, with driving the alb.
stemious to drink and with enough other
high crimes to condemn II utterly, but
never until now has 1t been described as
dull.
Did the fortunes OF a poker player rest
upon his chance OF his drawing three OF a
kind to beat two pair. or a royal flush to
sweep the jackpot from the clutchinG I'm
gers Of the man across the table made
reckless by confidence reposed in a full
house, draw poker might in truth be only
gamblers trade and diversion for thick
heads. But there is more than the charm
Of chance in this distinctly American game.
More skill is brought into play than is
used by the gamester who takes his money
upon the turn OF the dice or the stock mar
ket or wagers upon the results Of horse
races.
Draw poker is a game for students OF
human nature-a battle of wits, in which
the man with deuces is not always looted
Of his luere by the man with trays. In
the stock market and at the race course
men bet upon information, and often upon
information that makes the possessor OF
the Tip" somewhat below the mere gam
bier and upon a level with the "sure-thIng''
man. The honest better upon races Is at
this mercy OF crooked owners and Jockeys.

rived a vast amount of advertising from
the show. The railroads exploited the show
most literally. running display advertis-
ments in over 400 newspapers of the state.
Nebraska is a horse state as well as Ken
lucky and Missouri and the railroad re-
turns show the people of the state are in
terested in the horse.
Spencer Borden, the presiding judge, said
on the last night of the horse show:
I'm all my experiences at horse shows
have never seen a horse show as well ex-
plotted as was the Omaha show, both by
the newspaper OF Omaha and also in sur
rounding towns"
