REALTY MEN WOULD MEDIATE Offer Bervioes to !nnla Differences Betwoeen Railroad and Btrikers. EXCHANGE APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO ACT It Contend Part Want to Get Together Re ate Exchange st Ready to Help Them Along. At the meeting of the Real Estate ex- change a committee was appointed to offer its services as a mediator between the Union Pacific rallroad and its striking em- ployes. Several members of the exchange #ald that they had been approached by the employes, both strikers and others, asking them to take this action, as they feared that unless the trouble is settled soon it will affect other branches of the service. Mem- bers of the exchange referred to the ef- fect a prolonged strike would have upon rentals and after considerable discussion the committee, which conslsts of G. 8. Benawa, B, A. Benson and A. P. Tukey, was In- structed to tender the service of the ex- change to the parties if it was found that mediation was desired by them. A committee consisting of J. H. Parrotte, 8. P. Bostwick and W. L. Selby was ap- pointed to solicit membership for the Ne- braska Real Estate Dealers’ association among members of the exchange in this eity. The committee appointed to estimate the cost of remodeling the Coliseum for the Ohristian church convention reported that it would require between $500 and $600 to do the work. The committee was requested 1o prepare a written report to be presented IDEAS FOR PARKS OF OMAHA Park Commissioner Gonden Ga Some Pointers While Visitin Eastern Cities, . Park Commissioner L. N. Gonden has just returned from an eastern trip, in the course of which he attended the convention of the American Park and Outdoor Art assoola- tion, held at Boston August 5 to 8 Inclusive. Mr. Gonden returns with renewed en- thusiasm in the way of park and boulevard improvement, and from the proceedings of the convention and his visits to parks in the citles In which he stopped during his trip has glearied many ideas which may later be found applicable to the local situa- tlon. In conversation with a representa- tive of The Bee he said: “I am more than ever convinced that any city which has not a good park system is lacking in one of the very important essen- tials to make it a desirable place of re dence and a successful municipality, 1 Lavo visited the parks in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia and have found that all of those eities are giving much attention to their parks and making important and extensive improve- ments all the time. I noticed that all of the most attractive parks which I saw had a well-kept appearance, and while nature was given full sway In some respects it was not permitted to run wild entirely. I am not in favor of cutting out all shrubbery in our parks, as I was once quoted as having said, and I do not believe in destroying any trees or even bushes; but I de prefer to see things trimmed up where it is necessary and not permitted to run to underbrush. In some places hedge fences may be all right, but I do not like to see them in our city parks. In short, I Itke to see signs of cultivation in the parks and indications that they are properly leoked after and not per- mitted to take care of themselves." @t the next meeting, to which the matter was referrred. ARMY OFFICERS ARE SCARCE Many Assigned for Post D nd Others on Leave of Absence, uy B of the Twenty-second infantry passed through Omaha Tuesday evening for Fort Logan H. Roots, Ark., it ‘was In charge of First Lieutenant David L. Btone, adjutant of the third battalion of tho regiment, and no company officer was with it. When It arrives at its destination it will find another company in command of the second lleutenant, the captain and first Heu- tenant being absent from the post from one cause or another, while all officers of Com- pany B are absent. This condition is not confined to any one regiment in the army, but there is a scarcity of effective officers in all departments which serlously cripples the service. An army officer sald: ““There have never been enough officers in the United States army for anything but the most peaceful times, and since the army was enlarged to its present peace footing the necessity for more officers is still more apparent. In every post there are required & number of officers to hold post positions. They are always detailed from the com- panies occupying the posts and when all offi- eers are on duty with thelr regiments and companies there are enough to attend to the business, but there are very few times when all officers are present. Sickness and bther pressing reasons will take some from their commands and then someone must per- form double duty. ‘‘When the war with Spain began the in- mdequate number of officers caused seri- ous condition of affairs. Officers who should bave been present with their companies at mt time, if e were withdrawn to be- quarterm commissary officers ud to fill other staff positions. A large Bumber were detalled on recruiting service, and in the Philippines and in Cuba, after the army occupled those islands, numbers were called upon to fill civil positions, as eollectors of customs, governors and like positions. “At the present time the tendency is to increase the number of officers with the troops, as many detalled on staff, recruiting mnd clvil work are returning, but many ‘who come from the Philippines on account ©of diseases contracted in the tropics and extent of time absent from home have re- celved leaves of absence. “The thing is done different in the armies of European countries. The staffs are or- genized so that in time of war the depot battalions take the places occupled in this country by officers detailled from the lin The politicians and legislators are not en- tirely to blame for the present conditiom, as the: ‘e many officers in the army who belleve that three officers to a company are sufficlent, but if they had to provide oficers for the companies now in the Department of the Missouri from the officers obtainable fhey might change their opinions i HEAVY DEMAND FOR FEEDERS More pments of Young Cattle Now Than in Any Preced- ing August. The favorable outlook for a bumper corn erop 1s having & very beneficlal effect upon the demand for young cattle on the South Omahe market. The splendid condition of pastures Is also making the demand for feeders unusually heavy, as farmers are almost obliged to have stock to eat up the surplus grass. It may safely be sald that mever before in the history of ‘the South Omaba market have as mauy cattle, at this time of year, been shipped to the country s during the last three days. The average number of cars has been right around sev- enty-five per day. More than that have beén shipped out in September and October, but never in August. Another feature of the demand for stock cattle is the way in which the country is discriminating agalnst horned cattle. For some time past dehorned cattle have sold 10 to 15 cents per 100 pounds higher than the same quality of horned cattle, but this season the difference is all the way from 20 to 40 cents per 100 pounds. The gen- eral impression among cattlemen is that this will bave a marked tendency to e weatern ranchmen, as well as farme this section of the country, grow hornless cattle.

The next monthly Teport will reveal many interesting and doubtless surprising facts. Asked how he accounted for this state of irs, the official said: ‘That's very easy. The financial condi- tion of this road was at its very best when this strike came on and this emabled the company to meet the exigencles without any trouble whatever. The financial strength of the Union Pacific 18 at its best.” “But granting the undiminished potency of the r finannial strength aince the strike began, would not the motive power naturally be somewhat affected, and would _THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 21 1902 BR]NCS FORTH BUT A MOUSE Blot Machine “Reform” of New Polios Board Amounts te Nothing, NO CHANGE FROM USUAL POLICE POLICY Christian Endeavorers, Misinformed Yellow Newspapers, Give The City Christian Endeaver union Tue: day night instructed one of its committees to send to the new Fire and Police commis- sloners a vote of thanks of the Christian En- deavorers of Omal for “their action In ordering the removal of siot machiges.” This municipal reform for which the En- deavorers are so thankful and about which théy bave evidently been misinformed, oos templates nothing more than a continuance of the policy the police department has been following for months and it may result in the closing of as many as six slot ma- chines in the immediate future. The reso- lution of the new fire and police board says: Resolved, That the chief of police be instructed ' to remove all slot machines which pay in cash or checks or anything except merchandise delivered at the time of operation; also to remove all slot ma- chines in which lewd pictures are ex- hibited. Commissioner Broatch of the mew board has received a number of complaints from merchants who had been led to bejleve that the new order contemplated the re- moval of the trade check machines, and yesterday morning he made the following statemenf “The resolution aims only at the money- paying and lewd picture machines. Those that pay in merchandise will not be dis- turbed. If a man should win & number of clgars he may take checks for them, pro- vided he does not exchange the checks for cash later on." According to the understanding of the w police board, then, only the cash and lewd pleture machines are to be disturbed, and these have for months been the subject of polfce seizures. For over a year, in fact, the police havo been confiscating money ma- chines as fast as they could find them in operation. The order of the new board does not change the practice in regard to slot machines a particle, although it is well known that the element of chance which constitutes the gambling feature is as much the real factor in the trade machines as in the money machines. FOR OPENING OF FESTIVAL Arrangements at Oapitol Aven: Musical Pavilion Are Being Hurried Al s Yesterday morning the advance sale of seats at the musical festival box office had reached an aggregate of 600, and just be- fore the rain, which came on about moon, the demand increased to a great extent.

I admit that this {s the heaviest pas- enger traflic period of the year and I sup- pose it is a fact that if the strike had not occurred the proportion of our increases would have been larger,” he sald after be- ing questioned on that polnt. “But never- theless the earnings of the old Union Pa- cific are advancing every day regardless of the strik L. A. SUNDERLAND KILLED Telegram from Kansaa Oity Gives Brief Accouat of the Fatal - Accident. A telegram was received in Omaha yes- terday stating that L. A. !Sunderland of this city had been killed just out of Kansas City. Mr. Sunderland resided at 1836 North Twenty-first street, and of his immediate family leaves a widow and a daughter 18 years of age. He was 52 years ol age and had resided in Omaha for the last twenty- one years. He was a member of the Royal Arcanum lodge and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.. He had two broth- ers reeiding in Council Blufts and they have been notified. The family has not yet instructed the railroad company what to do with the body and will do nothing until more particulars are recelved. The rallroad company offi- clals in Omaha sald they had received no word of a wreck or collision, but that if one bad occurred on the other side of Kansas City it would not likely be reported here. A Aispatch recelved from Kansas City yesterday says L. A. Sunderland, an engineer on the Missouri Pacific, was killed Tuesday at Leeds, Mo. Sunderland was standing on the front platform of the ca- boose when a switch engine backed into it, throwing him beneath the car. His right arm was nearly severed from the body and he suffered a severe blow on the head. An engine and caboose started immediately for Kansas City with the injured man, but he dled on the way. ABBOTT WANTS THE GOVERNCR Deputy County Attormey Says De- sires a Confl tial Session with His Bxcellency. Deputy County Attorney Abbott is keep- ing an eye open for the appearance of Gov- erner Savage in Omaba. “I shall certainly make an effort to get hold of the governor,” sald Mr. Abbott, “to discuss with him the charges he made in the letter to the Cen- tral Labor Union that he had been offered momfp-mu who desired to name the new bbard of fire and police commissioners. The governor is violating his oath of office In refusing to give those names and in mot filing complaints with the county attorney. I shall make a strong effort to compel him to come to time and tell me the names of the parties, so that I can proceed against them. The governor's conduct would be bad in a private citizen, but in the chiet executive of the state, it 1s far worse.” SOLOISTS' CONCERT Temorrow Night by Members of O valt's’ Band st Lake Manawa.

The carpenters were put- ting the finishing touches upon the work and had everything completed last evening, except the decorative work on the entrance, which will not be in place until this morning. The electrical wirlng is being pushed rapldly and will present some pleas- ing features. Last year and the year be fore the lights were all clear, but colored lamps will add to the attractiveness of the scene this season, and in the booths many Japanese lights will be used. The Barber Asphalt company has donated to the com- mittee sufficlent gravel to make the grounds dry and comfortable, and this cov- ering is now belng put in place. The con- nection between the tent and the stage is being made so that no flood of water can fall upon the audiance seated near the stand, as happened during rainy nights in pre- vious seasons. The plans of the architect have been con- siderably changed since their first draft, and the pagoda which was to have been erected inside of the grounds has been aban- doned, the Japanese decoration having been transferred to the grand entrance. More artistic work has been put upon this trance and when it the lights are turned on it will present a pleasing effect. BUYERS COMING TO OMAHA First of Season’s Trade Excursions Bringing Many Country Re- tatlers In, —t 4 The Omaha jobbing district is beginning to lll up with country customers attracted to the city by the reduced rates, which are in force for the. first time this season. A rate of one and one-fifth fare for the round trip on the certificate plau has been put in force by the rallroads in the terri- tory and the joint agent of the companies will countersign receipts at the Commercial club room. The present excursion is the first.of the two which will be d during the fall sell- ing season. It is intended principally for the ‘wholesale millinery trade and the majority of buyers who arrived yesterday visited those houses. They come from the stat of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming, with & few buyers from other states. The tickets sold for this trip are good returning until Sat- urday night and the majority of the buyers will take the full time allowed. ‘The second excursion, for which the rates will be the same, promises to be larger than the first, as the retail dealers will be ready at that time to purchase fall and -winter stocks In general lines. This excursion will begin September 2, tickets being honored coming to Omaha for four days and re- turning for four days later. COMIC OPERA TONIGHT.
