AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Bond Issue to take Up Overlap Beems to Be Unpopular, OCCUPATION TAX PROPOSED INSTEAD City Ofcials Estimate that Enom Could Be R clal Tax in Two Years to Cle Floatiag Debt. ised on There seems to be a feeling among the people that tbe city should not at this time call a speclal election for the pur- pose of voling bonde for the taking up of the overlap which has been accumulat- ing for years. One reason is on sccount of the expense and the other is a plan for- mulated by certain members of the pres. ent administration. It is now proposed to levy an occupation tax upon all classes of business, including professional men, banks, otc. One sugges- tlon is that each saloon be taxed $200. This, it carried out, will bring in about $18,000 and the assessments on the other business men will be made large enough to bring the total up to $25,000. This amount will pay off half of the overlap and the expectation is that the same tax will be levied next year, thue clearing the city of its cufrent debt and at the same time avolding the issuing of bonds. This plan of assessing an occupation tax has been tried here several times, but has never been really successful for the reason that business men would not pay, while the liquor dealers were forced to put up. It the occupation tax, as proposed, is not favored by (he people the council proposes to endeavor to induce the liquor dealers to get out and hustle for the bonds proposed to be issued. It is asserted that these bonds can be sold for $3,000 premium, pro- viding that interest at the rate of b per cent is paid. Should the issue go for a less amount buyers say that par will be pald. May Be Murder. Investigation made yesterday showed that there is a possibility of Edward Woods having been murdered. After the autopsy which was conducted by two physiclans, had been completed and the report had been made to the county attorney of Sarpy county and the coroner, it was dis- covered that prints of a boot heel were plainly discernable on the left side of the face of the deceased. This caused an order to be lssued by Mr. Patrick, county attor- ney for Sarpy county, for the inspection of the clothing worn by Tom Joyce and Webb Clark, the men who were last seen with Woods. Dr. Curtls of South Omaha was directed to make the examination with a microscope and he found blood spots on the clothing of both of the men. When questioned about these spots yesterday aft- ernoon the prisoners, who are held for fur- ther examination, admitted, it is asserted, that they had a scuffie with Woods and that he was struck n the nose with such force as to bring about bleeding. As for the heel prints on the face they deny all knowl- edge. This case may still bring about some in- teresting facts, but the fact that the county attorney and the coroner and the jury did not request the presence of the train crew which was supposed to have struck Woods looks in & measure rather peculiar. It may be that the county officials are holding back certain information which they have secured in conneotion with the case. The remaine of Woods were interred at St Mary's cemetery yesterday forenoon. Pontoon Bridge Sale. Becretary Watkins of the Pontoon Bridge and Ferry company said yesterday that the announcement made in an uptown sheet about the sale of the pontoons to T. C. Parmelee was rather premature. He admitted that negotiations were pending and that he hoped the deal would go through. The neglect of the city, said Colonel Watkins, to provide a suitable road to the river was the cause of disposing of the pontoons already constructed and the steamer Castalia. From the present out- look there will be no ferry across the river at this point this summer, but Hearletta will be run as an excursion steamer by those who have purchased the pontoon company’s business on the Jowa side of the river. Funeral of Joseph Crawford. Funeral services over the remalns of Jo- seph Crawford, who dled at his home, 2409 N street, on Arbor day, will be held this afternoon at the First Methodist Episcopal church, Twenty-third and N streets. Rev. M. A. Head, the pastor, will deliver the ad- dress. The deceased had been a resident of South Omaha for sixteen years and was an old and respected employe of the Union Stock Yards company. The members of the Union Stock Yards Employes' assoclation will attend the funeral in a body. Inter- ment will be a Laurel Hill cemetery. Wo 's Auxiliary Meet! A meeting of the w ‘s auxiliaries of the Episcopal church will be held at St. Clements' mission, Twenty-eighth and R streets, at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Members of auxiliaries from Omaha will at- tend and will be entertained by the South Omaha members of the auxillary from St. Martin's church. It was thought some days ago that the treasurer would issue a call for warrants before the end of this momth, but & change of plans was made yesterday. Treasurer Howe stated that he would try and make & call for city and school warrants on May 5. This call will use up about all of the money the city and the school district has on hand. Jack Hurley Reforms. For the thirty-eighth time this year Jack Hurley, beter known as “‘Red Muzzle,” appeared before Police Judge King yester- day to answer to the old charge of being drunk and disturblng the peace. After a tatherly lecture delivered by the judge Hurley agreed to take the pledge and after bo had been sentenced to five days in the county jail in order to give him a chance to sober up he signed an agree- ment in which he promised to abstain from all Intoxicating liquors for seven months. In case he violates this pledge Hurley agrees to go to jail for a period of six months without trial. Cash Transfe d Today. Mayor Koutsky will transfer the city funds to E. L. Howe, the newly elected treasurer, some time today. Work on the books has been going on for some weeks #ad the delay has been caused by the coun’ cil falling to organize and designate de- positories of city money. Mayor' Koutsky will turn the funds over in cash, and a the books have already ben transferred, Mr. Howe will bave full possession of the office. The last deposit of money as city treasurer was made by Mr. Koutsky yester- day afternoon. Company Gets Salvage. e In connection with the destruction of fire hall No. 3 by fire a few nights ago a mem ber of the council said that it had been i timated to bim that the insurance company would tender an offer of §$1,000 or else re- palr the bullding. Under the city regula- tions the bullding is past zepair and a mand will be made for the whole amount of the lnsurance. This will be done In or- to permit the municipality to construst & brick structure for the housing of the fire company, which protects & portion of the packing house district. In speaking of this matter last night & member of the council sald that as Be un- derstood it, the councll would dewasd (h¢ full amount of insurance under the existing ordinances and if the insurance companmy wanted what was left of the wreck it was welcome to {t. From this time on, sald this city official, no cheap bulldings will 20.

GENERAL GORDON RE-ELECTED Georgian Made Commander in Chief of Confederate Veterans. an entertain- and 1 streets to- of street The 'loss DALLAS, April 24.—The United Confed- erate Veterans tonight unanimously re- elected General John B. Gordon com- mander-in-chlef, General Stephen B. Lee commander of the Army of the Tennessee department; General W. L. Cabel, com- mander of the Transmissippl, and elected C. 1. Walker commander of the Department ot Northern Virginia to succeed the late General Wade Hampton. New Orleans was eelected as the place for the next reunion. General Gordon was glven no chance to retire. A voice from the back of the hall cried out, “The only way you can get away from the office, general, is by dying.” The largest crowd of the reunion was present today. The bureau of Information gave out a statement saying that lodging for 140,000 people had been found. The es- timated number of veterans present was 12,000. General Gordon called the conven- tion to order at 10:30 a. m. Chaplain Gen- eral Jones dellvered the invocation and General Lee followed with an eulogy. Gen- eral Gordon spoke briefly of the dead sol- dier. At the afternoon session a resolution wai adopted withdrawing the support of all con- federate veterans from Grant university, Chattanooga, Tenn., on account of an al- leged disparaging article concerning south- ern women which it was stated had been written by a professor of thht university. The report of the historical committee, General Lee, chairman, was adopted. It recommercded the compilation of material that will help the historian and the stu- dent to understand the civil war, |ts causes and its results and the preparation of brief blographies and school histories that will do justice to southern leader- ship, southern character, southern environ- men and southern development. A resolution to change the confederate memorial day from May 26 to June 3, the birthday of Jefferson Davis, but to allow any state desirng a different date to take individual action was passed. The report of the Davis monument com- mittee showed slow progress. There ia $35,000 on hand and $40,000 more is needed. CALLS IT FIRST WORLD TRUST ment of Austria o Shipping Combine. VIENNA, April 24.—The comment here is generally adverse to the Morgan steamship combine. The Neues Welner Journal char- acterizes it as the first world trust and ‘The interests of the entire world are opposed to America monopolizing the whole | shipping traffic of the world, or using inter- national navigation to develop its own ex- port trade and serve its own political ends. ‘The present organization contains the root of a still closer combine, of which America will be the strongest member, notwith. standing the fact that Germany is able to bring into the pool a hundred times the trafic of America, yet the superior organ- ized financlial power of the Morgan syndi- cate will eventually give the United States supreme control. “From the standpolnt of national inter- ests the trust is the most dangerous con- celvable and it is only natural that the states affected should watch the develop ment most closely and take every precaus tion possible. It may be found necessary to extend the system of state ownership to the sphere hitherto left exclusively for pri- vate initiative. Yet stite ownership of the commercial marine would greatly reduce its mobllity and give fresh advantage to Amer- ics, which has other means of defending and concentrating its own interests.

FRANK SILVER'S RACE FOR LIBERTY Escapes from Deputy Sheriff and Makes Mad Race Only to Be Over- hauled and Safely Locked in County Jail, Frank Silver, convicted by a jury April 3 of breaking and entering in the daytime, was sentenced by Judge Baxter yesterday afternoon to three years at hard labor in the penitentiary, and with this somber pros- pect to make him desperate he attempted escape as he was being led from the court- house back into the jail. The distance is not great and Deputy Sherift Adam Sloup had not considered it necessary to handcuff him. As they were coming out the rear exit of the courthouse Silver stepped through first and pulled the door shut on the wrist of the hand that Sloup had kept on his shoulder. Sloup was angered by the trick and pulling the door open again with a quick jerk struck Silver a blow that sent him headlong. The pris- oner is lithe and agile and instantly was on his feet and running like a deer down the pavement that leads to the southeast corner of the premises. His Run Was a Peach. But just then the city patrol wagon turned (hat corner on its way from the po- lice station to the county jail with Willlam Auberry, for a ehort time with the Bennett store, who s being held on a charge of de- frauding an ifnkeeper, and with Sam Mar- owitz,garrested for forgery, but sent to the jall for examination as to his sanity. J. B. Wilson was driving and the towering Tony Vanous sat beside the prisoners. It happens that Vanous is the right kind of a friend of Sloup’s and the cheerfulness with which he rushed to his friend's assistance was something inspiring. Silver is a sprioter and led the pair down Harney street to Sixteenth, and then south, Tony. not daring to fire into the crowd, but pumcturing the heavens for a bluff. Wilson, who itches for a fast drive every time he takes hold of the reins, was edging along with the buach, one eye on his hori and the ofher on the prisoners in the wagon, but he didn't get to pull out the throttle any, for at Sixteenth and Howard streets Silver collided with Oficer Bdwards, whom he tried to bluff with a bad-side step and swing, but who caressed him on the west side of his brow with the official club.

He bas already served one term at Lincoln and the history of this present orime is a long one.

While he was in Jail Detective Drummy discovered at a pawnshop that he was gullty of the theft, but it was decided to let him serve out one sentence before beginning another. On June 25 he escaped from the city jail by dolng a fancy walk across a board that he stretched from the bathroom to & hall transom and went to Denver. The police located him, but decided to let him come back at his own will and save the cost of transportation.
