Search for Witnesses.

Detectives, detailed by Major Pullman,
superintendent of police, to aid in the
search for witnesses are understood to
be seeking certain persons whose testi-
mony Is believed to be material to the
prosecution of accused officers. Just who
these witnesses are. the investigators
have refused to say. The presence OF the
wife Of man said to have conducted a
poolroom where gambling was a regular
thing, at the investigation Thursday and
Friday at the United States attorney s
office. is believed will develop that more
evidence will be disclosed in connection
with the protection of gamblers.
Mr.. Hawken, who has been working
night and day in connection with the
Investigation, heard several witnesses
late yesterday afternoon and later
spent much time In carefully going
over the evidence before him and map
ping out plans for a further investiga-
tion this week.
Mai. Pullman was at the United
States attorneys office late yesterday
afternoon and remained for some time
in conference with the prosecutors.
Just what developed at the conference
could not be learned. The superin-

Persons familiar with what is going
on say 1t is more than probable that
Margaret Stout will be recalled to the
district attorneys Office and further
questioned. She will be asked about
certain information, not previously
mentioned by her. that has been told
by other witnesses, and it may be that
the investigation will spread to pre-
cincts other than the fourth.
The young woman who was known
as Ethel when she resided in Mar
garet Stout's house on Delaware ave-
nue. and who was brought here from
Norfolk, Va, where. 1t is stated, she is
most willing witness when she ap-
peared before the grand jury. She did
not volunteer much testimony, it is

the damaging statements made by

Go-Between Is Sought.

1t was reported last night that the
persons conducting the investigation
were working on a clue they expected
would lead outside the department, it
having been intimated that such q per-
son acted in the capacity of a go
between for a short time. His identity
WAS not made known, but Mr.. Hawken
and MAJ. Pullman, it was stated, are
confident they will be able to find him.
Many so-called sports, mostly COL
ored, residents of South Washington,
have been summoned to the district at
torney's Office from time to time dur
ing the past two weeks, the time the
investigation has been in progress and
during which time the indictments
averaged one each week. Such sports
congregate on street corners and en-
gage in discussions Of the so-called
graft investigation, some expressing
surprise that certain phases of the af-
fair were not made known long ago.
1t is regarded as probable that the
investigation will result in the indict-
ment of several persons in South
Wa shington for alleged violations of
the gambling law. 1t having come to
the knowledge of Mai. Pullman that
such violations we're committed almost
openly. At one alleged gambling place,

directions thus making it more
convenient for the travelling
public.
While business interests are
giving this matter thought an
effort should also be made to
induce the Omaha people to
build a new depot. This should
be located at a more central
point tn the city and Washing
ton avenue should be that point.
The old depot is out of date and
is not fit for a thriving city like
Washburn. 1t is hardly in
keeping with the improved con
dition of the city and the at
tention Of the Omaha officials
should be called to this.
Washburn is now one of the
busiest points on the northern
division Of the Omaha system,
yet this city has one of the
poorest depots on the entire
line.

Would be q Convenience

The attention of the officials
Of the Omaha road should be
called to the great necessity of
a stopping place for trains at
Washington avenue as an &C
commodation to the travelling
public, and also to the men en-
plOyed at the plant of the Du-
Pont Powder company.
The present depot was built
at a time when Washburn was
but a small village. At that
time the railroad people figured
that if the city grew it would
spread out along the lake shore
in an easterly direction. But
the building of saw mills and
manufacturing institutions
caused the city to grow toward
the west and the Omaha depot
is now located in the extreme
east end of the city, and
with the trains stopping there
the people are compelled to walk
back through the city in order
in order to get anywhere near
the center of the city.
With a stopping place al
Washington avenue the people
could go from that point in all

Cheese day celebration yesterday and
gave a sorry exhibition of peevish-
ness.
The snappy little Monroe Times
several days ago printed some inter
views on the coming Cheese Day"
celebration yesterday. With the en-
prise of a thriving little daily they
gathered in plebiscite of comment
from the citizens of Monroe on what
they thought the size of the crowd
would be. They interviewed every
body, the banker, the grocer, the
laborer, and the newsboy. Some
inoffensive tho obviously bright
newsboy, who is town character
known by everybody in Monroe,
stated that he thought that bigger
crowd would come to Monroe if La
Palette were to speak instead of the
Governor. And the Times printed
his statement with others. Why
not? The attention of the Governor
was evidently called to this interview
for he gave vent to the following in
his speech yesterday:
"There is a paper published here
in your city by some little man who
has insulted the governor of Wiscon-
sin. If had paid any attention to
it | would not be here today in the
face of what this little man said. He
is aslittle. man of little brains or ne

did. l dismissed it as unworthy OF

Offices of the senatorial twins he got
a postoffice and that is part OF the
consideration he gave for it. 1t
makes no difference to me what he
says, but you people ought not to
patronize a man who treats the Office
of governor with disrespect.
There is something about this
oratorical outburt of the governor
that reminds us of Daniel Webster or
Charles Summer or Abraham Lin

is unless it is that it is so different.
