OFFICERS SWOOP
 DOWN ON SAME CLUB
Deputies Appear Soon After
 Police Depart
TAKEN TO BOTH JAlLS
Several Men In Rooms Adjoining Nor ris Had To Make Two Bonds-War- rants Are Again Sworn
 Out By Lynch.

A trip by the police, followed shortly afterward by visit by deputy sheriffs, to the elubrooms n the b,ilding adjoining the Morris hotel, resulted in some of the plen in the clubrooms first spending a while in the city jail. then making bond. only te be arrested again, taken to the county jail and compelled to make an- other bond
 The trip by the police grew out of the she1iffs raid made ol- these clubrooms several nights ag1, which resulted in the aasrst of B men. This raid was made in a hunt for Violators O. the prohibition law. put the sheriff eaal ged that he found evidence O gambling going on.
 In accordance with this charge war rants were sworn out before Judge Fea- gin by John A. Lynch of the Law and O1der league for the arrest of q num- Der of the men on gambling charges. Early last night policemen visited the clubroorns and arrested the men against whom the warrants had been sworn out and took them to the city jail.
 On Thursday raiders warrant, reading practically the same as the one on which the raid was made several nights ago, was sworn out before Judge Dan Greene by John A. Lynch, who also swore out the previous warrants.
 Plans were accordingly made by the sheriff's office to make the raid last night, and a squad of deputies in charge of Chief Deputy Lucien Brown proceeded on the clubrooms in the same manner as before, a man being placed on the roof ether deputies guarding the Morris avenue entrance, another squad on the second floor of the Morris hotel and another at the main entrance on the third floor of the hotel
 No resistance was offered to the of ficers, but only seven men were found inside, while three of the seven were negro porters.
 The men who had been arrested by the police had made bond and some returned to the clubrooms, arriving there just a few moments before the deputies ap- pea~ed and were caught in the net They were taken to the county jail, and a charge of violating the prohibition laws docketed against them. After remaining in the county jail for a few moments they also succeeded in making bond on this charge.
 Had the deputies made their raid pricr to tile u | of the policemen it is said they would have gotten equally as large a number oi men as on their previous lad.

ENCOURAGED BY
 NEW TEMPLEPLIN

A meeting was held by the Temple Emanuel congregation last night after the conclusion of the regular services and a report of the ways and means commit tee was made on the progress of the movement to erect a new temple
 Rabbi Newfield presided and M V. Jo- seph, chairman of the committee, made the report, which was found very satis- factory. A lot at Highland avenue and Twenty y-first street has already been pur- chased, and this will be used as a site for the temple. The purchase price of the lot was slS,O00, and it is proposed to erect temple costing not less than $100.- 900. While the committee did not report an amount of money contributed any where near the full amount required still the sum shown to be pledged, together with the other features of their report caused spirit of good feeling to spread over the congregation.

Hearst's Statement.

Chicago October 16.-Upon his arrival in Chicago today MT. Hearst dictated the following statement:
 T do not at all care whether the method of serving the summons was con- trary to law or not and 1 am perfectly willing to receive the summons. 1 do not hold anything against the deputy sheriff except the fact that he did not say he was an officer of the law. He did not say that be had a summons of any kind of a legal paper of any kind to serve.
 ''I was in the bath room at the time not avoiding any one nor suspecting any one. Some one knocked at the door and Mrs. Hearst went to the door. She thought the man was drunken ruffian. She declined to let him in and he broke open the door. 1 stepped out and asked what the trouble was about and the man said he had a summons to serve. Of course his action was high-handed and contrary to law but I accepted the sum- mons, notwithstanding, and I invite MT. HaskelPs suit immediately before cleo ton.
 q am going to New York later and will pass through Indiana. If MT. Tag gart has any suit to bring l will be pleased to accept his service.
 ''I am then going through Ohio and if MT. Foraker has anything in the way of a suit I will be on the platform waiting to accept his service.
 '1 make these statements and give out my itinerary in order that if any suits are to be brought they may be brought without unnecessary annoyance to my family"
 Mr. Hearst also declared that he is willing to accept service from Senator Bailey and MT. Bryan asking only that suits be brought at once so that the facts may be established before election. He also asserted that if Governor Has kell desires to bring a criminal action he will welcome it.

GOVERNOR HASKELL
 SUES W. R HEARST
Strenuous Measure Adopted to
 Serve Paper
OFFICER BREAKS DOOR
Mr. Hearst Issues a Statement In Which He Invites Similar Suits From Bryan, Foraker, Tag
 gart and Others.

Omaha, Neb.g October 16.-After d dramatic scene on Union Pacific train No. last night in which the door of his state room was burst open by a deputy sheriff, William Randolph Hearst, the millionaire editor, was served with papers notifying him that suit for $600,000 had been brought against him for islander and libel by Gov. Charles N. Haskell of Oklah oma in the Douglas county. Nebraska, dis trict court.
 The summons was served by Deputy Sheriff stewart for Smyth & Smith of Omaha, who are Governor Haskelis attorneys in the damage suit.
 The suit was filed in the district court at 10 o'clock last night after which the papers were immediately drawn. It was known that MT. Hearst would pass through Omaha last night on his way from Seattle to New York and plans were laid accordingly. Union Pacific train No. was due at $40 o'clock. but did not arrive until 1925. Deputy Sheriff Stewart was on hand with orders to serve the summons on MT. Hearst but had a trying time in doing it. A knock on the door of MT. Hearst's state room elicited the in formation through the door from the editors wife that he was not in the room but had gone to the depot to send a telegram. Not to be cheated the deputy sheriff demanded admittance in the name of the law, saying that if he were not admitted he would break down the door.
 Then. ensued a dramatic scene. Mrs. Hearst on the inside screamed out that she was alone and would admit no man and the deputy proceeded to carry out his threat to break it in. Using his shoulders as a battering ram he crashed through the door and was met by Mrs. Hearst partially disrobed ap- parently on the verge of hysteria. Nothing daunted, although Mrs. Hearst rushed screaming through the door out in the aisle, Deputy Sheriff Stewart started to kick in the door of the toilet room adjoining the state room. Then MT. Hearst emerged and accepted the papers which the deputy thrust out He appeared less indignant than his wife. Mr. Hearst said the summons was entirely unexpected, that he had not the least suspicion that anything of the kind was to occur in Omaha.
 Why did you refuse admittance to the officer2" was asked
 Because myself and wife were re- .tiring for the night" explained MT Hearst T have no objection to being served with these papers here in Omaha or anywhere else. Frankly, l do not believe this case will ever come to a trial, and the knowledge that this suit has been filed does not disturb me in the least. When Governor Haskell said not very long ago that his only req son for not bringing action against me was his lack of funds, I offered to do- nate the necessary funds from my own pocket and this offer still holds good.
 After serving the papers on MT. Hearst, Deputy Sheriff Stewart left the car. Examination of the door of the state room disclosed the fact that no great damage had been done aside from breaking the lock.

Duel Averted.

St. Petersburg, October 16.-Count Berchthold, the Austrian ambassador to- day called on M. Icharykoff the acting foreign minister, and arranged a set tlement of an incident which threatened to involve the retirement of Prince Von Fuerstenberg. first secretary of the Aus trian embassy, and duel between the Prince and M. Tcharykoff.
 The accuracy of statements made by Prince Von Fuerstenberg in a recent in- terview was challenged by the Novoe vremya, which, as the prince believed, under the inspiration of the foreign office printed a series of bitter attacks on his veracity The princer considering his honor involved, prepared to place his res- ignation in the hands of the Austrian minister of foreign affairs, Baron Von Aehrenthal and send his seconds to M. Tcharykoff if satisfaction was not &C., corded. The Russian minister, however, promptly and formally disavowed any re- sponsibility for the Novoe Vremyas s campaign.

 As To MT. Bryan.
 Paying his respects to MT. Bryan, Judge Taft remarked that MT. Bryan went round the world and his democratic friends said, for they have been as se- we're with MT Bryan as the men of the republican party at times-said with his observation of the world customs he IS coming home. We have heard in advance conservative statements from him. and he is coming home to be safe and sane. MT Bryan seemed to resent that statement He thought it did him an injustice, and he proceeded to demonstrate that injustice that he had been done by advocating ownership of interstate railroads by the central government and of all other rail roads by the states.
 Then he helped in the organization of the Oklahoma constitution, and presented that fearfully and wonderfully made in- strument to the world as the greatest fundamental instrument that had ever been struck from the brain of man. I lave not time to go into the wonderful intricacies of that instrument, but if you are interested ir .he labarynthian thread that you have to fellow in going through that constitution, l recommend it to you as an evidencs of what is possible for the leader of the democratic party to think.
 MT. Brysns idea of dealing with the trusts is to starp them out altogether The tendency of MT. Rryan's mind is to- ward a theory that addresses itself at onae to the approval of an audience, and does not expend itself in drafting stat ute to accomplish anything. What he pro- poses is to guarantee deposits by requir- ing every honest banker, every safe and careful banker, to indorse the obliga- tions of every banker that is not safe, and that is not honest. If there ever was more socialistic proposition than that l don't know it. It might well come from Mir Debs, but how it can come from a conservative democrat don't understand. 'I leave it to you if the putting in power of gentleman with those econom- ic theories, that sound so well from the ] platform when put forth with the force of oratory he has, who is able to convince himself and persuade himself of the soundness of such fallacies. whether the putting him in power is going to restore the confidence we need in order to bring back prosperity.
