WILL URGE LEGISLATURE TO PUSH HIS BILL Head of Omaha Police Department Says Nonsupport and Desert Increasing in Alarming Degrees. Chiet of Police Donahue has undertaken the task of securing the passage in the legislature of a bill which will, If his pres- ent plans carry, cause to be placed on the statute books of the state of Nebraska an act that is now, and has long been, ur- gently needed to deal with a class of of- tenders who have escaped the punishmeat which should have been their due and which, had the proper provision been made, could eastly have been meted out to them. Chiet Donahue's efforts will lie chiefly in having his measure passed which will make husbands, who have moved from their res- idence cities, leaving behind them families, responsible for the care of the wives and infants who are dependent upon them for a livelihood. To a reporter for The Boe yesterday aft- ernoon Chief Donahue said he had under- taken the passage of the bill that the con- dition which has for some time given the police department of not only Omaha, but the other cities of the state, no end of trouble and expense, might be alle- viated and an unnecessary burden which is now thrust upon the taxpaying public by its being compelled to care for the families of the negligent husbands, eliminated. “I shall recommend the passage of the bill at the coming session of the state legislature in January,” he sald, “and there is no doubt in my mind that but very little opposition will be encountered in having the new statute enacted. Wi more important, this neglect on the pa husbands has grown to such a magnitude that it is now a very great burden and if it is not curbed at this session it will continue for two years more. Numerous Ca; » in Omaha. “Regarding the local conditions, not all the cases for this winter have as yet de- veloped. Not a day passes but we have one or more calls to locate husbands who have gone to distant cities and have ig- nored the demands of their wives and chil- dren for assistance. In Omaha alone last year 346 families applied for and were granted rellef. The majority of these cases were such as I have described. In the jail there were sheltered 1,854 lodgers, among whom, no doubt, were many men who had deserted home and family and not feeling any responsibility, wander at their lelsure, free from arrest. Pitiful cases come to our attention which weuld be removed could the law I desire be passed. I have no doubt that the cases for this year will equal those of last, in which we will be compelled to grant assistance. - Up to the present there have been at least twenty de- mands from wives to have our department locate itinerant husbands. One case in par- ticular that I can suggest is that of an engineer who left this city and went away to earn his $85 & month. The first month he sent his wife $50, the second $25, but for the last six months he has not furnished ber with one penny. What is there for us to do? We have no law that can touch this offender and we must resort to bluft- ing him into keeping his family, Oharacter of Bill. “My bill will be similar to acts governing such- cases in Illffiols and Missour!, coples of which I have received from the secre- tarles of those states. They provide that every person shall 'be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor who shall, without good cause abandon his wife and refuse to maintain and provide for her; or who shall abandon his or her child or children under the age of 12 years. The punishment is a fine not less than $100 nor more than $500, or im- prisonment not to exceed one less than one month in the county jfail or workhouse, or both fine and {mprisonment. “I have not conferred with any of the legislators regarding my proposition, but will take the matter up at once with them, Should there appear to be any opposition to the measure, I will go to Lincoln and work personally for the mew bill. This practice of desertion and nonsupport is steadily increasing. I will enter into corre- spondence with the other police chiefs of the state in reference to this matter and solicit thelr support in its behalf. I also think it would be well for the people of Omaha to welgh this matter well and ask their representatives to favor it with their sup- port.” The Children’s Favorite. One of the greatest dificulties encoun- tered when children are 111 is the objection they have to taking medicine. The remedy must be pleasant or the patience of the par- ent 1s exhausted before it is successfully administered. Mr. G. G, Wagner of Spring Grove, Pa., overcomes this annoyance by using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. He s his little boy always asks for it when- ever he catches cold. This remedy has b come the children’s favorite, as it is pleas- ant to take and it always cures and cures quickly. COLONEL CODY GOING EAST Sails Next Saturday from New York for Euro To ‘With his old-time dash, Colonel Willlam F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) walked with easy stride into the lobby of one of the city hotels last evening, and immediately he was made the center of attraction by the large number who were in the corridor.

Colonel Cody Is direct from his home in Cody, Wyo., and is enroute to New York, where he will sail for Europe to joln his W1ld West show, which is to tour the contl- nent this winter. He starts upon his voyage next Saturday, opening at the Olympia, Lon- don, December 26. Colonel Cody, when told that he was to start across the sea on the 15th day of the month, showed little hesi- tation in stating that be not of a superstitious turn of mind and did not have apy foreboding because of that fact. He has suffered somewhat from the re- cent embargo which was placed on Amer- ican cattle by the English government, which will not permit any cattle from this side to land owing to the prevalence of hoof and mouth disease. Colonel Cody stated that he would have as big & show 5 he ever carried this year, bis actors ags gregating over 600 people. Colonel Cody's party is composed of D. Frank Powell, his old scouting chum; Mrs. Arta Boal and children, Clara and Cody Boal, and his daughter, Miss Irma Cody. They will remafy here over Sunday, leav- ing this evening for the east.

NASH MAY ENTER A PROTEST|[ESSER TALKS ABOUT MOSBY [HERRING MAY DOUBLE DUTY Does Not Like Tax Comm Figures on Electrie Light Plant, President Fred A. h of the New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Light company proposes to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Board of Review. He con- siders that the sworn Inventory of $442,- 000 on his company's realty, returned by him, was fair and sufficient and he wants to know why the figure should have been made $500,000. In an interview last mizht he said “I have returned from Salt Lake Citv. where I went on railroad business. and I have not had time to fully consider this atter of the assessment. I may not care to protest at all, but I do propose to have a talk with the members of the Board of Review and probably will protest if that is the only way to get before them. Last year I returned a falr inventory of all our property, personal, and I did the this year. I listpd our preferred stoc its face and our common stock at 50 cents. which is really more than it is worth now. as the company has not yet pald dividends and is bullding on the future. “1 understand that our new underground system had something to do with the raise. It shouldn't, as we can utilize none of it for at least a year yet and when we do. then the present system of wires and poles becomes practically nothing but junk and is really & loss to us. The new underground system costs us considerable money. it 1s true, but 1t is put in solely to comply with a police regulation and for the protection of the public, not as an investment for profit to us. “I wish to bave a talk with the board concerning these things. If they can show me why the company's assessment should g0 up, I shall be glad to stand it, but other- wise I suppose I will protest.” RAILROADS PREPARE TO FIGHT tments Marshal Forces e Increase in Tax Assessment. The railroad companies which own prop- erty iIn the city are making arrangements to test the constitutionality of that part of the city charter which provides for the assessment of thelr property by the eity tax commissioner at the figures fixed by the State Board of Equalization. They have not decided exactly as to the character of the action to be brought, but since the de- clsion of Tax Commissioner Fleming to as- sess all property, including the railroads, at full value for city purposes the legal de- partments of the roads have been preparing for the legal battle. According to stories which come from the interested parties the fight will be made along the line that the tax commissioner has no right to question the constitution- ality of any law which the legislature may pass for his guldance, and that the letter of the city charter shall prevail in spite of the constitutional provision that all prop- erty must be assessed upon the same basis. The argument of the attorneys as to this provision of the constitution will be, it is sald, along the line that this equality of assessment refers to property of the same general character and not to all property regardless of class; that when all railroads of the state are assessed upon the same equitable basis the provision of the con- stitutiop is fulfilled regardless of the fact that the assessment of personal property generally and of real estate may be upon another basis. The attorneys for the roads expect the matter to come up before the Board of Re- view next week, but they have not decided to appearing before that board. —_— FAVOR ELECTRIC FRANCHISE Thousands of Prominent Oftizens Sign Petit to the City netl. © Tuesday night a monster petition from several thousand prominent citizens favor- ing the Andrew.

Lesser, after being closeted with the grand jury here for a few days, returned to his Towa home yes- terday. it was his love of home life, ac- cording to Colonel Mosby, that caused the land agent's downfall, the veteran alleging that Lesser spent the time for which the government paid him to be in Nebraska at his home in Tama Olty, Ia. “I do not believe Colonel Mosby's idea of pushing his way into print is good for any cause,” went on Mr. Lesser. “And that to my mind fs very beautifully illustrated in the Colonel's own case. That is about all that I can see that Mosby has succeeded in accomplishing. All that he has reported to the government on the fencing and land- ‘leasing questions was reported by me be- tore Mosby ever went into office. “Why hasn't it been acted upon? That 18 not for me to say. My duty did not lay in calling out troops of cavalry and caus- ing bloodshed. I could not have done that it T had wanted to, and neither can Mosby The duty of my position was simply to ex- amine into the conditions and make mv report to Washington, and these things I did and kept still about it. I reported as soon as I went into office that the govern- ment land was illegally fenced in and 1 reported the conditions in regard to the widow question. Anticipates “Awful Me: “As far as my personal opinion goes, I hardly see how they can take down the tences all at once without causing an enor- mous disaster. The fences are not all one or two men's doings. Practically every cattleman in the vicinity of government lands is involved. One man will fence in a plece of property and the next man that comes along will use one stretch of his tence and a stretch of some other fence. 50 that a fence erected years ago by several parties may serve the purpose of separating two or three properties. The sudden re- moval of these fences would make an awful mess. “The use of this land ought certainly to be allowed. Now that the government has allowed this law to be a dead letter for so long a time, it certainly ought to continue the delay of its enforcement until the present congress could enact a land leasing measure or else give a good long notice to enable the parties involved an opportunity to adjust themselyes to the new comdi- tions. “The differences between Colonel Mosby and myself were started by my objecting to the large number of garrulous com- munications which he insisted on writing me and because I asked him to confine himself to matters connected with our official busines He took a personal affront at this and the war he has waged against me has been a personal matter with him all throug!
