ASKS MINISTERS FOR THEIR CO-OPERATION Enforcement of Present Deficien® Statute or Its Repeal and Sub- stitution by RBetter One Will Be Sought. Another attempt Is to be made at en- forcing a curfew ordinance in Omaha, the result of a meeting held at Young Men's Christian assoclation headquarters Monday night, at which Alexander Hoge- land of Loulsville, Ky. president of the Boys' and Girls' National home and leader of the curfew crusade, addressed a small gathering. A committee of five, Including Mr. Hogeland, was sppointed at the meet- ing to confer this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Young Men's Christian assoclation as to definite plans of procedure. The idea is to get the matter before the city council with expedition and supported by the greatest possible influence. To ac- complish this It was suggested that the committee on conference place the Isterial tion that each pastor submit the question to his congregation next Sunday, it possi- ble, and get an expression of the church- going populace. It Is belleved that every church congregation in the city will accord a unanimous vote to the enforcement of some sort of an ordinance to keep chil- dren off the streets at night and the ad- vocates of the movement feel assured that with such potency back of them they could present their plea to the council with rea- sonable, if mot unquestionable, hopes of success. this afternoon Leaders of Movement. The meeting Monday night was presided over by Dr. W. O. Henry and D. Burr Jones, superintendent of the boys' depart- ment of the Young Men's Christian assocla- tion, acted as secretary. The committes appointed to meet this afternoon to shape turther action was: Dr. Henry, chalrman; Rev. T. Anderson, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church; H. F. Bundy, Rev. A. W. Clark and Alexander Hogeland. The statute books of the city of Omaha now contain a curfew ordinamce that wi enacted some five years ago, but it h: been considered unconstitutional by pros inent attorneys and is not enforced. One of its deficlencies is the lack of an enact. ing clause; no provision is made for the punishment of offenders. This, however, was looked upon by some of those at the meeting as a matter that could be easily adjusted, either by having the ordinance amended or repealed and substituted by one whose valldity would stand the test of legal scrutiny. Dr. Henry and Mr. Hoge- land both advocated this method. The sen- timent of the meeting was that Omaha Is badly in need of a curfew ordinance and that it was straining the point to quibble over technicalities of law in the comstruc- tion of such a statute. Ordinance as Model. The model ordinance which Mr. Hogeland recommends for Omaha is that In force in Indianapolis. It prohibits any child under the age of 15 years from being on the streets unattended by parent, guardian or custodian after 8 o'clock at night and im- poses a fime not to exceed §5 for every viola- tion of this provision and for the ‘“‘parent, custodian or guardian” who allows or per- mits any such child to violate this or: dinance a fine of from $1 to $10 is pre- scribed. Contingencles are provided, how ever, in the execution of these penaltie Upon the child's arrest, instead of proceed- Ing with the action against him his “par- ent, custodian or guardian” must first be summoned and his or her wishes as to the disposition of the juvenile offender case consulted. Only where the ‘“parent, custodian or guardian” refuses to be held responsible for the child's action will the latter be placed In confinement, taking it for granted that he is not in possession of the facllities necessary for meeting the pe- cuntary demands of. the law. Many arguments were advanced by Mr. Hogeland to show that Omaha should have a curfew ordinance. He based his remarks upon the general assertion that this is the most important bit of municipal reform before the public. In General Operation. Three thousand cities had adopted this law, governors of every state in the union bad given it their indorsement and but & few mayors now opposed it. Mr. Hogeland had no fault to flnd with the city officials of Omaha; indeed he be- lleved they were consclentiously striving to perform their respective duties and he had faith in securing the enforcement of a curfew ordinance if one was properly drawn and presented to the council. The establishment of municipal employ- ment bureaus and a system ,for deterring vagrancy and sending youthful “‘tramps” back to their homes was also discus MAJOR WALLER GOING EAST Oficer Who Executed “Kill and Burn” Order Passes Through Omaha. Major Littleton Waller, the man who faced a court-martial in the Philippines for executing the famous order of General Jacob Smith to “kill and burn,” passed through Omaha yesterday at the head of a marine corps consisting of five other oficers and 200 enlisted men. They were on their way from San Francisco to the government navy yards at Brooklyn. No exertion of faith is required to_be- lleve Major Waller when he s he 1s thoroughly tired out from the long and severe ordeal of warfare in the Philippine islands. He looks all of it. It is mo wonder, when he relates a part of his thrilling experiences, that his chief object mow Is to seek rost and reliet from any- thing that pertains to military duty. “It Is mot necessary to ask me If I really did carry out General Smith's order to ‘kill and burn,’ or at least it 1s use- less that 1 answer that question, for I have admitted the fact time and time again, and my first afrmation was not made in the United States. I obeyed the order given me and I have not yet ques- tioned the sanity of that order,” said the soldler. Of his work In the islands no reason for remorse. His convietion in the injustice of the charges preferred sgainst him, or, in other words, his abso- lute satisfaction of his own conduct tbroughout the entire campaign he afirms with great emphasts, but he withholds harsh criticism for the making of the charg “Oh, yes,' Interjected Waller, belping bis timid interviewer out of an embarra ing situation, “I reslly was charged with murder, plain murder. You needn't be backward in asking me that question.” But the major looked anything but a murderer. His appearance is that of a soldier and nothing more. Major Waller repeated what he has said that Samar is aboyt the hottest place he has ever yet come scross, He expressed it by saylng that “H— Is & summer resort beside Samar." A loug and perilous campaign of Filipino fighting in this torrid island has empha- ized the major's fifty some odd years. The major resisted an effort made just major saw before his train departed to draw him into conversation as to the comparative cruel- ties practised by the Filipinos and the American soldiers. He simply said that tortures infiicted by the troops from the United States were insignificant in number and severity, as compared with those of the native bandite. POLICE ARE AFTER BURGLARS Three Suspects Already Under Arrest with Complaints Against Them. For several weeks the police department has been endeavoring to run down the members of a gang of housebreakers who have been operating in Omaha and commit- ting a number of small burglaries. Mon- day afternoon Detectives Drummy and and Fred Wagner, and in these men the the principal, part of an organized gang of thieves Complaints have been filed against Dean and Wagner charging them with breaking into and robbing the Nebraska Coal com- panys office, and against Dean and Lynch charging them with robbing the Export Milling company. They are believed to have been the parties who stole the brass ol cups from the engine in the building occupled by Stroud & Co., and other com- plaints will be flled against them. Dean admitted to the detectives that he was implicated in the robbing of the mill- ing company. Some flour that was taken from there was found in the weeds in the rear of the office of the company. No ar- rests have been made in connection with the robbery of John W. Towle. This bur- glary was committed Thursday night and the robber secured about $70 from the purse of Mr. Towle, while compelling the latter at the point of & revolver to remain in bed.

If All Taxes Were Paid Promptly, Commonwealth Would Be Out of Debt. (Issued under Authority of the Railro ads of Nebraska.) We give below a statement of various ts amounts that are due the different State funds: Statement of the nncollected taxes in Nebraska he difierent fu in which they were de- Hna t on November 30, 1900: xes. The result is that at the close of businee on May 27, 1902, there was an out- standing indebtedness of the State, amounting to $1,910,909.08, and there was a balance of uncollected taxes due from the various counties, to the State, amount- ing to $2,783,063.04. It can be seen that if these delinquent taxes had been paid, there would have been a surplus in the treasury of the State and no outstanding obligations whatever. While the collections made from Dec. 1st, 1900 to May 26th, 1902 would indicate that a portion of these delinquent taxes were being paid, it can hardly be expected that enough of these arrearages can be collected to wipe out the complete indebt- edness of the State. We shall try in future articles to show where this great delinquency in payment of taxes originates. The first duty of good citizenship is to pay the tax that is neces- sary to meet State, County and City ex- penses. In the long list of delinquent tax- payers, no railroad will be found delin- quent in payment of any legal taxes, al- though the payment of taxes in several instances has practically absorbed all of the net earnings of the company for a term of years.

DEMOCRATS OF EIGHTH WARD Caucus Selects Delegate Ticket Opposed to the Herdm Leadersh At a meeting of Eighth ward democrats last night candidates for delegates to the county convention strictly opposed to the leadership of the Herdmans were selected. The hall at Twenty-second and Cuming ‘streets was comfortably filled with demo- crats who were present to fight the re- ported plan of the Herdmans to have thelr friends control the caucue. If any of the latter were present they falled to make a showing or answer any of the several speeches that were made in opposition to the Herdmans.

Published by the Century company. We are in recelpt of the first authentic history of the Boer war from the Boer side, entitied “The Boer Fight for Free- dom.” It is by & man well known all over the English speaking world, Michael Dav- itt. The herofc struggles of the little col- ony in South Africa for liberty reach a sympathizing spot in many hearts and we belleve this account will be turned to and consulted by many as an authoritative his- tory of ‘the war. Mr. Davitt is re- sponsible for the adoption by the Irish members of Parllament of the policy of open manifestation of sympathy with the Boer “fighters for freedom.” As member for South Mayo, he inaugurated this policy by resigning his seat in Parliament a fow days after war was declared in October, 1899, to go to the scene of military con- fiict in South Africa. There he met the leading Boer generals wad President Steyn, whom he greatly admires as the wisest of statesmen and noblest of patriots. Hav- ing such sources of information, the trained pen of Mr. Davitt has produced in “The Boer Fight for Freedom,” a history writ- ten on the spot and in the saddle as it were, yet as orderly, complete and well digested as it Is accurate, graphic and inspirin Davitt tory of the first part of the war 1s & sad tale of “what might have been.

Margaret Sidney has written another Pepper book entitled “Five Little Peppers Abroad.” This very mewest of the Pepper stories is just as charming as the other books that have preceded it in the serle It takes Mother Pepper, now Mother Fisher, the little doctor, Polly and Phronsie over meus, with Grandpa King, Jasper and Parson and Mrs. Henderson.
