THREE LOSERS FOR RECOUNT
Schamel, Benin and Canaan Consider
Asking for Contest.
IF THEY ACT MUST DO so MONDAY
All Hint Mt Some ~IrreEularity and
Are Not Satisfied 90 oult
Fight ON such Small
Margin.

Three defeated candidates-Fred Schamel,
John Fred Benin and c. J.. Cansn-are con-
sidering asking a recount OF the votes cast
for them and their successful competitors
In the late primary election. II they decide
to demand a recount their applications
must be filed Monday, the last day for fill
ing such notice according to law.
Mr.. Schamel was defeated by Fred
Schroeder for the republican nomination
for the council from the Seventh ward, Mr..
Benin was defeated by A. C. Kugel for the
republican nomination for the council from
the Second ward and c.. ]. Canaan was de-
feated by Alma jackson for the demo-
cratic nomination for the council from the
Seventh ward. All Of them profess to be-
lieve that there was irregularity in count
Ing the votes, while Mr.. Benin adds the
additional charge of illegal voting in the
polling place In his home precinct.
According to the official returns, Schamel
was defeated by but seven votes through
out the city-wide election. while he carried
the Seventh ward overwhelmingly against
the successful candidate, Fred Schroeder.
Benin would have to overcome a majority
vote of $50 cast for A. c. Kugel to win the
nomination on a recount. Mr.. Benin has
lived in the Second precinct of the Tenth
ward ten years, and was credited with but
one vote there to 100 for Mr.. Kugel.
Canaan After Jackson's scalp.
c. j. Canaan. Jackocrat, asserts that Alma
Jackson, Jimocrat, was not rightfully NOM
mated in the Seventh ward and Is consid-
ering asking for a recount, despite the fact
that Jackson received nearly 1000 more
votes than he. Canan's contention is this:
The correct pronunciation of his name
places the emphasis on the last syllable,
but many people place IT on the first. I'm
mediatcly preceding his name on the poll
books was that of Dan w. Canon, demo-
cratic candidate in the Sixth ward. Canaan
believes that in many wards the judges in
calling off the returns pronounced his name
so 1t sounded like Canon, and therefore he
lost out In the shuttle.
The Canvassing board finished it's work
Friday. The law says that all applications
for a recount must be made within three
days after the canvass is completed. The
third day is Monday.
None of them are as yet talking court
proceedings except Canaan, who says that
he would stand no more show in a con-
test than in a trial in hell with the devil
for Judge"

J1MOcRATs SUCCEED DEMOCRATS
No Party by Latter Name in oman
Today.


Today.
The democratic party In Omaha has Of
ficislly disappeared, succeeded by the Jimo-
cratic party. The consumption of the old
organization by the mayors crowd has
finally been effected, and the Jacks are
wiped off the map, as far as the Jims
are concerned.
The transformation took place at a meet
ing of the clans at the Paxton yesterday
afternoon and Mayor Jim. Tom Flynn,
John p. Reagan, Louis ]. Piatti and a few
other patriots cracked the whip. The
meeting was supposed to be that of the
old city committee, but the old
officers would not be identified with 1t and
the Jims saw to it that the Jacks had no
finger in the pie. The mayor himself made
the motion to strike the name of Colonel
Ed p. Bergman from the rolls and all
other Jacks found to be members OF the
committee met a like fate. The old Of
ficers graciously resigned.
Fred II. Cosgrove, at one time a promi-
nent Jack, was made a member Of the
executive committee, but this was done
because he is understood to have cut loose
from the old safe and sane" organiza-
ton last fall when certain leaders OF that
club prevented him from winning out in

SUSTAINS THE

Supreme Court Afiirms Decision OF
Circuit Judge in the Straf-
ford Damage Suit.
BOY WAS THE PLAINTIFF
Lad Sued for $4,000 for Loss of Arm
In an Accident, Because Not
Legally Employed.

The supreme court of the state has
affirmed the decision of the circuit
court of this city in the case of Russell
Strafford against the Republic Iron &
Steel company, in which the young
man was awarded $4,000 damages for
the loss of his left arm. The case
has been pending in the courts for
about two years, suit having been
brought by the boy for $4,000 dam
dent Oct. %, 1906, when his left arm
was caught between two rollers at the
steel mills and taken off. The verdict
of the jury for $4,000 was sustained
by the appellate court w. R. Moore
represented the plaintiff, and B. F.
Peek and C. E. pietz the company.
Was Not If Years Old.
The case was based on the fact that
the young man was not II years of
age at the time of the accident. and
therefore was employed in violation of
the child labor law of the state. The
defense was that he had been told not
to go near the machine by which he
was injured. The fight in the upper
courts was based on the instructions
of the court here. Quienten Strafford,
the boys father, has a suit for $4,000

LECTURES ON
new FORCES.
Professor William B. Patty Gives En-
tertaining Demonstrations at

TELLS OF POSSIBILITIES
Discusses Radium, Liquid Air and
Wireless Teleeraphy, and Gives
Various Experiments.

The lecture of Professor William Il.
Patty at Augustana last night on wire
less telegraphy. radium and liquid air
proved one that was as instructive rs
it was interesting. To students of
science. it was of unusual interest il
asmuch as the lecturer gave practical
demonstrations of the latest scientific
discoveries, the study of which is very
limited in most school laboratories be-
materials.
In making his demonstrations with
the wireless telegraph apparatus, Pro-
fessor Patty made the assertion that
everything that is now being done by
means of electric wires can be done
equally easy by means OF no wires at
ALL He proved his statement by ring
ing bells at distance without any
wire connection, also lighting up in
candescent globes and exploding car
tridges. 1t is only question of time,
he said, when all telegraphing and
telephoning will be done by means of
wireless, and even predicted that the
time would come when everybody
would carry around small telephones
in their pockets the size of a watch.
Exhibits Radium.
Professor Patty exhibited four small
tubes of radium, the largest amount
| of the precious element in America.
The audience was also permitted Il
view of the substance under the mi
croscope, its appearance resembling
that of innumerable shooting stars
caused by the radium emanations.
The lecturer claimed that these en-
anations will continue from a piece
of radium no larger than the end of a
needle for millions of years with no
iperceptible dimunition. The heat pro-
duced by these emanations in so hours
he said, is equal to that given off by
an equal weight of coal in one hour.
| If the power of one gram of radium
extending over period of 1000 years
could be converted into lifting power
it would raise 500 tons a mile high,
