Says He is Greatest Living Advocate
of Democratic Doctrines.

In that City.
(From a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. SO.-(Special Tel
egram.)-In a statement issued today w.
II. Thompson Of Grand Island, who yes
terday filed as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination Tor United states SEN
ator, asserts that William J. Bryan Is
the greatest living advocate of demo-
cratic national doctrine.
Il have fought many battles with Mr..
Bryan" he declared, land 1 believe that
all Of the democrats of the state should

the nation"
Mr.. Thompson asserts that, although

order against the city of Beatrice and its
officers to prevent them from enforcing
an ordinance lowering the rate to be
charged for gas. The complainant is the
Gage County Light and Power company
The action OF the federal court Is in
voked on the ground OF federal question
involved, It being alleged in the bill that
the Beatrice ordinance is in violation of
that provision of the federal constitution
which says that NO state shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of any citi-
zen OF the United States, and which for
bids the taking OF life, liberty or prop
erty without due process OF law.
The Beatrice council passed the ordi-
nance granting a franchise to the gas
company In 1906. and by the ordinance
the maximum rate to be charged was
fixed at t1.25 per 1000 cubic feet. Later
upon a showing made by experts the
council allowed the rate to be raised to
S1.S5 per 1000 feet But last october an
other ordinance was passed. reducing the
rate to the former figure of $l25 per
thousand. The enforcement OF this ordi-
nance is what the company seeks to
have permanently enjoined.

HOLMES DENIES RUMOR.
Declares Only Traffic Agreement Has
Been Made With Mckinley.

Kansas City, Feb. 9.-Conway F.
Holmes, vice president of the Pioneer
Trust company, effectually put at rest
last night the rumor that the electric
line to Leavenwerth had been absorbed
by the Mckinley syndicate.
There had been various printed re-
ports about the absorption of the in
terurban system. Mr. Holmes had
just returned from a hunting trip III
Kansas and when asked as to whether
the Leavenworth line had been Sold
said:
LAS far as our line is concerned there
is no truth in the report of a sale to
the Mckinley people Neither is there
any deal on foot for its sale, nor was
any contemplated.
THE only dealings I had with the
Mckinley people, on my recent trip
east, was to effect a traffic agreement
with the system whereby our company
agreed to haul their cars from Leav-
enworth. That is about the extent of
our negotiations and may have given
rise to the report that sale of the
line to the Mckinley syndicate had
been effected"

NOW WITHOUT COUNTRY.
Career of Julius IcDonough. Stormy
Tale of Two Continents.

LeaVenWOrth, Kan, FEB. 9.-Jul1uS
P McDonough, a singular character
with a criminal record on two conti-
nents, and who has given more trou-
BILE than any other half a dozen pris-
oners, was released from the federal
prison last night.
He was received Feb. 1 5, 1901. In
his youth he had followed the sea and
later served as a soldier in the Brit
ish army. He enlisted in the Ameri-
can army and was sent from Fort
Meyer, Va, to serve ten years for stab
bing a comrade with a bayonet.
After arrival here he fought desper-
ately against having his finger prints
taken and had to be overpowered. A
copy of his measurements and finger
prints were sent to Scotland Yard,
where he was identified as Martin Nc
Maben, who. while stationed on the
Isle of Malta, it was alleged. had killed
a fellow soldier and was sentenced to
penal servitude for life After six
teen years imprisonment at Malta was
transferred to London, where he was
given a ticket of leave" which cor
responds to an American parole. In
May, 1900, he violated the parole by
coming to the United States and in an
effort to hide his identity enlisted in
Battery A, Fourth artillery.
Some time afterward he was recog-
nized by an Englishman in the army
and, fearful of betrayal, 1t is alleged,
lie .StdDDSQ the SOlOlSr AT In6 p6n1-
tentiary McDonough's habit of getting
into trouble did not forsake him, and
finally he attacked Guard Algi, in the
tool house of the stone shop, with a
hammer. Two stalwart Indian con-
victs saved the guard by Selling and
overpowering McDonoueh. For this
and other reasons the Englishman lost
all his good time, and was compelled
to serve his sentence in full. remain
ing more than four years longer than
he otherwise would have done.
McDonough made numerous appeals
to the secretary of war and attorney
general to have his good time restored.
He also took his case before about a
half dozen United States judges, the
last time before Judge William c..
Hook. He lost every case.
The man is said to have been edu-
Gated for the priesthood but alleged

When he left the prison this morn
ing he was provided with a ticket for
Washington, but it is not known where
he will go. He can not return to Eng
land, as he would be compelled to go
to prison as an escaped "ticket of
leave" man. He has no home in the
United States, and virtually is man
without a country" He can not be
deported under the criminal alien law
as this statute did not go into effect
until after his imprisonment. He was
the first prisoner in the United States
to be identified by the finger print sys-
tenn as an escaped foreign convict.
MeDonough saw nearly 5000 arrive
and hundreds leave. His number was
235S and at present the highest num-
ber is nearly 5000. Those who know
him best think he will again take to
the sea. as that seems best suited to
his temperament. He now is "A years
old. He spent twenty-six years in
prison.

MORE CIRCUS War
Newman Sees Newspapers in a
Fight ON BillpOsters.
Says Cause of Present Trouble
Was Reconsideration.

That the war between the circuses
and billposters will mean more money
for the newspapers was the statement
of J. D. Newman, general agent of the
Forepaugh-Se shows. who last night
departed for his home in Indianapolis
after a short visit with his parents i'll
Topeka.
Mr.. Newman, who two years ago be-
came connected with the Forepaugh
shows, after twenty years with the
Gentry shows, is optimistic over the
situation Though he said the fight
is not an open one, he declared that
eventually it will mean that the news
papers will take up the fight against
billposters, movement which he de-
clared would prove the downfall of the
billposting business.
1.-The fight originally started over the
reclassification of classes said Mr..
Newman. Rates were raised in the
class A and class B towns, then the
Associated Billposters went to the Ma
tionaI Advertisers and offered con-
tracts at the rate Of last year provided
that the contracts were made prior to
February 1. The circus managements
were not given this privilege. Too, the
billposters tried to dictate how many
tickets should be given by the circuses
on their free list. The billposterS want
3Q TO exact d given LuI1D0I VI LlCkSlS
from each town and then control the
number given to the newspapers ac-
cording to population schedule. This
would not be stood for by the cir
cuses.
Figuring that a business institution,
whether a circus or local business, ap-
propriates certain amount each year
for its advertising, it will be seen that
the newspaper loses just as much money
as the advertiser spends upon billboard
advertising. 1t is only reasonable that
after the newspapers have seen the in
Justice of the situation that they will
take up the fight. Just at present the
billposters are trying to pass laws to
prevent circuses putting up banners,
thus trying to force the use of bill
boards.
This will mean that the billboards
will rot be used by the circus manage
ments and that the newspapers will get
an additional amount of advertising in
stead.''
While here, Mr. Newman told for the
first time, how % years ago L. M
Crawford, head of the Crawford, Phil
ley & Zehrung theatrical circuit, was
responsible for the success of the Gen
try shows. H. B. Gentry arrived in
Topeka with the show. which then was
barely able to move about the country,
it's financial condition making 1t al
most impossible for the show to move.
Mr.. Crawford entered into an arrange
ment with Mr.. Gentry, taking the show
to the coast. 1t then was appearing in
theaters. On reaching San Francisco
the show appeared in what was called
the Orpheum theater. 1t was the or
iginal house of what now is known as
the Orpheum circuit. The stand there
was success financially and enough
money was obtained to start the show
on the basis that since has made it a
great success.
