AUTO OWNERS IN PROTEST| Objection o Oertrin Drastoc Features Proposed Oity Ordinanos CONSERVATIVE TONE RULES THE MEETING Nee Twenty-five oWners of automobiles as- sembled at the Commeratal club last night and appointed a committee to ask the oouncil to modify the proposed ordinance governing the speed and equipment of the machines. The sentiment expressed was directed towards the low speed limit, their Bumber and character of lights required | and the demand for an examination of every driver by a board composed of men Ot present unacquainted with the mech- aniam and operation of autocars. The meeting adopted a resolution offered by John C. Wharton approving the invita- ton by the Ak-Sar-Ben governors for a Tepresentation of the automobiles in the flood parade during carnival week, also that an invitation should be extended to owners of machines in Council Bluffs and other neighboring cities and that all the Omabha cars should turn out and compets for the prizes. Mr. Wharton announced that for the awards 30 would be expended, 0 for four prizes for autos In the touring car | class and 850 for the runabouts, the first prise for the first class to be & $15 sllver cup and the remainder cash. The ma- chines will be decorated with flowera. Proceedings of the ing. Gurdon W. Wattles presided as chairman of the meeting and C. H. Gratton per- formed the duties of secretary. Taiks were made by Mr. Wharton, Mr. Wattles, Mr. Gratton, Charles Ogden and J. J. Gibson and others. The commitiee to confer with the eouncil Monday afterncon was named as follows: G, W. Wattles, W. A. Saun- ders, John C. Wharton, Charles Ogden, H. B. Frederickson and L. L. Kountse. Mr. Wharton pointed out the fact that the ordinance proposed is almost identical and is modeled after the one in effect In Chicago. It is a mistake, he sald, to at- tempt to enforce & law in Omaha that ap- plies to a city as large as Chioago. There is here nothing like the number of autos or the congested traffic that obtains in Chicago, he contended. Judge Ogden declared that all regulations a3 to the speed of vehicles should be the same and that one class should not be discriminated against. He remarked that the sentiment against automobiles in the east and (n Europe had besn brought about by reckiess driving by the owners of ihe first wuchines. He urged care and caution in Omaha in order that an unfavorable Jsentiment would not be created. Mr. Gibson had considerable to say upon the rclative chdnces of frightening horses with a gasoline machine driven at high speed and at slow progress. The nolse is much greater when running siowly, and 1t 18 the part of wisdom to proceed swiftly away from nervous animals rather than to | reduce speed with a gieat noise and fur. | ther excite the horme. - Weorking in the Dark. No copy of the ordinance was at hand and the conferees were somewhat handi- caped by this lack. It was the prevailing opinion that five lamps are required, whereas the number is but three. As to| lights most of the speakers declared that it placed on autos they should be placed on carriages of all kinds In order to pre- vént collisions In dark roadways. The tone of the meeting was conservaiive, but the six and eight-mile speed lmits were denounced as impracticable, and several speakers mentioned twelve miles as the proper regulation. A conclilatory spir: was advocated by all speskers and the exercise of unusual care until automobiles were firmly establisaed and understood in Omaha. Judge Ogden t..k opportunity to make a | good roads speech, saying that the United States ia far behind the remainder of the civilized world i this respect. Not only with the local munipal rosds did he find fault, but with tbe ways that the county have paved with .nuovdam. Thousands of dollars, he sald, had been expended on costly conmstru.tion, but very little on proper maintenance. He sald the auto- mobllists should agitate the subject of bet- ter highways wherever and whenever pos- sible. IN THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED DAYS.

This woman was not thrown out of the office mor treated in any other way that she could complain of. We did some bridgework for her and afterward she came back and complained about it and wanted her money back. We refused this naturaily and offered to do the work over again without cost, but she wanted the money. She is just the tool of these den- tists, and [ myself have seen her go six times into one of their offices. When she was in our offices she left a lot of business cards with address at 1208 Douglas street.” FOUND DEAD IN THE KITCHEN Charles K. Boyden was found dead In| the kitchen of his residence, at 263 South Seventeenth street, about 3 o'clock yes- | terday afternoon by a nelghbor, Frank| Woods, who lives at M57 South Seventeenth. | Death resulted from asphyxiation by During the afterncen Mrs. Woods, wif of the man who found the body, went Into her back yard, which s just across the tence from the Boyden home, for som purpese. She noticed a very strong odor of gas and for some time could not local the mource. She called & neighbor and together they went into the back yard of the Boydens. There the smell grew much | stronger. The two women tried to see into | the rear of the house, but could not suc-| ceed In doing so, as the shutters to the back windows were all closed. - Mrs. Woods then summoned her husband and he broke open the shutters and succeeded in raising a window. When he entered the kitchen he found the dead man lying on the floor. Hoyden's wife has been out of the city | visiting, and durieg her absence he moved | & cot into the kitchen, on which he was | sieeping. It was alongside this cot that| he was found. Both burners of a gas stove were turned on full and the gas was es- | Miller park and, says an ofcial caping very rapidly. Of course no one can tell why the jets were turned om, but it is the supposition among the neighbors that Boyden intended cooking or heating | some water and that he turned on a | burner with the !ntention of lighting it | afterwards changing his plans, and that| he then turned the other burner on, acting under the supposition that he was turning | off the one already on. At least that is| the only theory so far advanced. Nothing | was found about the premises which would indicate that It was the intention of the man to commit suleide. Boyden was employed by the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapods & Omaha Rallway company as a clerk in the freight depart-| ment at the Webster strest station. He was expecting his wife home last night, having recefved word that she had started from the west yesterday. She should have arrived at § o'clock, but at & late heur she had not been seen by any of the neighbors, nor had she called at the coroner's, where ‘There was a slight abrasion over Boyden's right eye, which was noticed after he was removed to the morgue. The injury, how- ever, was not of enough consequence to cauge death. It was probably caused when the man f€ll to the floor after being over- come by the gas. Coroner Braliey gave it @s his opinion that the man had not been dead over two or thres hours when the body was found. The hour for the inquest has not yet been decided upon and prob- ably will not be Axed until the arrival of the dead man's wife. Boyden was a mem- ber of Beach camp, Modern Woodmen of America. BENT ON HAVING THE PARK Omaha View Improvers Oarry erous Campaign in Faw Orchard HiIlL Vig- The A View Improvement club met in regular session last night with its usual good attendance. A number of miscellane- ous metters were discussed relative to side. walk and crossing improvements and were referred to appropriate committees. The park committee submitted an en- couraging report relative to the outlook for the Prospect Hill park. Several of the club turned in petitions showing 234 signa- tions returned. Over forty petitions are now out and all are being very generally signed and it is belleved over 1000 signa- tures will be recelved. The signatures of seven of the nine city counclimen have al- ready been obtained to the petitions. The committee urgently recommended that all petitions now out be turned in to the club at its next meeting, Friday night, Beptem- ber 4 It was reported that mischievous boys had broken the glass on the fire alarm box at Thirty-third and Corby streets, and the members decided to constitute them- selves & committee of the whole to assist in the apprehension and punishment of the lads. A motion prevailed In order tRat the club might go on record as opposed to the open- ing om Maple street, west, as being a use- less expenditure of city funds and an un- necessary lmprovement in that section. Charles Johnson In supporting the motien stated that thousands of dollars worth of private property had already been de- stroyed by (he useless grading of streets that never would, nor never could be used. The street rallway matter was taken up and discussed, particularly relative to the extension of the line on Thirty-third street from Parker street to Maple street, as & convenience for the people at the rest of Omaha View hill It appears that such an extension had already been ordered through the councll by resolution, and the street car committee was instructed to in- terview the city clerk on the matter. It was further stated that a move was on foot to have the line continued west on Parker street and while the club was not opposed to that extension, it would in- sist on the Thirty-third strest extension to Maple street. Chatrman Callahan presented each mem- ber with & printed list of the oficers and committees of the elub. A proposition to have the last meeting night of the club of each month made a social meeting was discussed but no deflnite action was taken. Buckien's Arnica Salve.

NO GAMES ALLOWED IN MILLER PARK Board Refuses Req and Says it Ha Spend for Latter No Fands to for Public Fontanelle park may be used for golf 1f anyone desires to construct the necessary escarpments and other hasards not pecullar to the soll. The park board so decided yes- terday afterncon after hearing a letter from E. D. Pratt, jr., read to them. Mr. Pratt told the commissioners that they would make a great bid for popularity by furnishing greens in Miller park, which he | declared ideal for the purpose. He pointed out the healthful attributes of the game and said that free links would have many habitues. The board talked it over and decided it had no money to provide amusement for the populace. Miller park, it was agreed, hould not be desecrated, as it had been planted with trees according to careful plans and is destined to become a moble wood within a few years. There is ne ob- | jection to base ball or tennis there, the | commissioners said, but no room for the | magnificent distances of goif. Fontanelle park, however, has been rented for pasture or used to produce hay ever since $90,000 was invested in it in 188 No street cars run near it as they do to report: ““The roads to this park are hilly and un- improved. It lles about four miles to the northwest, or about as distant as Miller park is to the north.? Ideal for Golf. “Fontanelle park would make an ideal | golf course,” sald Puperintendent Adams. Maybe if they got to playing golf out | there they could Induce the street rallway | company to build a line there. Golf greens | have to be cropped close and this would be | expensive. If we had $1,00 or $1.500 to| spend for the purpose it would be all right to construct & golf course, but we haven't the money.” There was some disposition on the part of two of the commissioners to hold that public parks are for public recreation and that money expended for such purpose would meet with the approval of the tax- payers and please them. But they said that | to bufld the links this year was out of the | question, because such a very small sum of | money has been given the department to use. It will be nearly eaten up by main- tenance of the parks, as at present, and the Central boulevard improvement s taking | the spare change. Mr. Pratt in his communication said that Des Molines had equipped a park with free | links which were very popular. Commls- sioner Cralg told of his observation of & public park In Denver provided with grounds and appurtenances for outdoor athletics of all kinds.

Now this is| the embarrassment. With the arrest of, certain druggists it now transpires that one | Joseph W. Thomas, a member of the| board, is himself after a fashion a drug-| gist and, stranger yet, happens to be con- | | nected with the very drug store that has| been called “up on the mat"” for dispensing | the wrong kind of fluid. All of which was news to Mr. Thomas, police commissioner. Mr. Thomas, besides belng one of the police commissioners back of this com- mendable crusade, is cashier of the Union | National bank, and thereon hangs the tale, | It was in this way that Mr. Thomas en- tered the drug business. BSeveral months ago Peter B. Halght of the firm of Halght & Adams, conducting drug stores at Twen- ty-fourth and Lake streets and at the in- tersection of Ames avenue with the same | street, wished to make a loan for certain purposes in Kansas and transacted the business with his bankers, the Union N: tional. As security the drug business was | made over in trust to Mr. Thomas, as the | cashier of the bank. The business, of course, continued to be conducted as before | and it is not ‘mprobable that Mr. Thomas | has never entered the premises. Alexander C. Adkms of the firm was sr- rested yesterday morning on a warrant and charged with selling Mquor unlawfully. A warrant had been issued for Mr. Haight | but he was out of the ecity. Mr. Adams wiil appear in police court Saturday morn- ing, at which time a date for hearing will be set. The complaint slleges that on or about Avgust 21 Morley G. McGuire bought a drink of whiskey from a fountain of these | druggists and that it was not intended for | or put to medical use. Other druggists are on the list for arrest. A good deal of suppressed wmusement, which Mr. Thomas himseif shares, is sald to have been indulged in by the police com- missioners on learning of the peculiar case. WAITED TQ MEET RELATIVES Lee H.
