street Railway strike.

OMAHA, Sept. 23-To the Editor OF The
Bee: l desire to present what seems to
me to be the proper view Of the present
situation in Omaha in relation to the strike
now on.
When so many people are put to so much
inconvenience and trouble there Is a wrong
Of no small Importance somewhere. In this
case to whom IL this wrong chargeable2 1t
must be charKeable to the strikers, or to
the street railway company. or to both.
But anyhow the paramount interest or
right is that Of the public and not that
Of either OF these two parties so far as the
running Of the cars lie concerned. This Is a
truth that many people stiIi fail to recog-
nize although 1t was forcibly presented by
President Roosevelt at the time Of the APP
pointment of the anthracite coal commits
sion.
In the present case the strikers and their
families on one side and the officers, stock
holders and bondholders and their families
on the other probably do not number 2,500,
but the general public, numbering 10000
or more Chere are some people who have
not much use for the cars), are put to
great inconvenience and trouble and loss.
Each of the parties to this controversy
desires supremely to have the backing Of
public approval. This big jury, the public,
will give a verdict that cannot be set
aside and from which there is no appeal.
The street cars must and will be operated,
and those who stand in the way will be
run over.
1t would be right, and within constitu-
tional limits. for the legislature to provide
expressly a municipal authority to assume
control OF and operate property used in
public service under some circumstances
1t is not incumbent on the public to
settle any controversy small matter un-
der dispute between these parties before
having the cars operated or even any larger
question. The cars must be operated. This
is no small matter. this crime against the
public. Some person or company or union
must answer for Il before the big jury.
AS to those despicable creatures who In
the time Of a strike take occasion to let
out their meanness and do violence 10 per-
sons and property. their condemnation
should be swift and severe. Disorder is
hell's first law. We see enough meanness
in ordinary times, and it Is easy TO see how
and where the seeds Of crime and degra-
dalton are being constantly planted in the
city. BBRIAH f. COCHRAN.

Sutor, the hotel keeper Of Cass Lake,
Mimi, who was he claims, fleeced out Of
S., OO0 by the gang. The dismissal was an
rounced just as George s. Wright. Ma
bray's attorney, was prepared to argue the
demurrers which he filed Wednesday to the
indictments. on the dismissal Of the two
indictments the court ordered Mabray held
until the report OF the grand jury should
be made in the afternoon.
Regarding the action OF the government
in Diminishing the indictments Assistant
United States Attorney $ r. Rush OF
Omaha, who had been assigned to assist
in the prosecution of the Mabray cases,
said:
THE government felt tina the old indict-
ments did not cover the case fully. in the
light of later information which has been
secured since these indictments were re-
turned last spring. This fresh information
came from the Mikes themselves, who, so
long as they believed they might them
selves be included in any charge of con-
spiracy, we're reluctant TO tell what they
knew. Now they know that they are not
liable to any such charge. and they have
come forward with information which
makes the governments case much
stronger than under the former indict-
ments.
In order to have a conspiracy the minds
OF two, three or more persons must work
ia rmon toward the accomplishment Of
the fraudulent act. These Mikes were de-
ceived by Mabray and his associates, and
their thoughts were not along the same
lines as those of the men who windie
them. Therefore. they we're not parties to
the conspiracy"

city Solicitor Klmba1l. chairman Of the
Legislative committee Of the league, in his
report gave an exhaustive review OF the
terminal tax legislation advocated by the
caguo and passed by the legislature at its
asst session.
While your chairman still believes that
ne law proposed was the best law that
eau be framed for taxation of railways
Within the state" said Mr.. Kimball In his
report, I'VE are not unalterably opposed to
any other fair plan. We are not particular
how the division OF assessment Is accom-
plished, so 1t is accomplished in some fair
manner" Mr.. Kimball said that the COM
mittee recommended that the fight should
be maintained for a fair and equitable as
sessment Of railroad property in cities,
rather h yield to a compromise which
would not be Just. The committee had
commended the Van Law bill, which failed
TO pass at the last session of the legisla-
ture.

Canno. Extradite NIassos.

Peter Nlassos, a Greek restaurant keeper
in Des Moines, was before Judge Smith
Mcpherson i'm the United States court
yesterday In connection with an appli-
cation for his extradition to Washington,
D.. g., where he is said to have obtained
money under false pretenses. He was ar
rested on the charge of having given a
kcheck for S7S on a bank In Harrisburg, w
Va, in which 1t was alleged he had no
funds. The Evidence before the court
showed that the check was dated five
days ahead OF the date on which IL was
made and this Judge Mcpherson held con-
stituted the paper merely a promise to pay.
In ordering the discharge OF Masses. judge
Mcpherson said: This is evidently a mis-
cradle attempt to use the government
courts as a collection agency for a lot OF
Greeks down east"

Rush, special assistant to the attorney gen
eral of the United States, at the instance
Of the Department of Justice. is taking part
in the prosecution and will doubtless have
entire charge Of the case when it comes to
trial.
Mabray Little Changed.
Mabray was brought into court a short
while before the grand jury made it's re.
port. He was accompanied by his wife and
her sister. Mrs. Robertson OF Kansas City.
They occupied seats Immediately in front
Of the bar. Mabray, despite his several
months in jail, appeared to be I'm excellent
health and not a bit changed in appearance
since the time he made Council Bluffs the
headquarters for the operations of the
"Pittsburg millionaires."
The substance Of the Indictment was
stated to Mabray by Assistant United
States Prosecuting Attorney Stewart, but
the indictment itself, which covers twenty
seven typewriter pages, was not read.
Judge Mcpherson ordered that a copy of
the Indictment be furnished Mabray's at
torneys, and Colonel Temple stated that
this would be done. On being asked II he
was indicted under his right name, Mabray
answered In the affirmative, and to a
further question from the court said his
name was John c. Mabray. 1t had been
generally understood that his name was
James and not John.
In answer to a question from the court
as to when the other defendants named in
the Indictment would be arrested, Colonel
Temple replied: THE whereabouts of many
of them are not known at this time"
Then ensued a discussion as to when the
trial of Mabray was to be held and as to
- A- Il --- H-N--A
Temple was of the opinion that 1t would
occupy three or four days, but Judge Nc
Pherson said he thought one day ought 70
suffice. Colonel Temple called attention to
the fact tina a large number of witnesses
would have to be examined.
No Trial This Term.
The number of witnesses" said the
court, will be limited on each point. 1t is
customary to limit to five witnesses on
each point.
II was finally decided to leave the matter
of fixing the date of the trial of Mabray
until today. 1t was stated last night that
it was extremely doubtful II the trial would
take place at this term. The members of
the petit jury, It was said. have been for
the last two days in contact with many
OF the Mikes" who were here as witnesses
before the grand jury, and it was stated
that Judge Mcpherson had declared that
1t would be manifestly unfair to the defend
ant to have his trial at this time before
them.
Prior to the grand jury returning the
new Indictment yesterday afternoon the
government dismissed the two indictments
returned against Mabray and Barney
