J ‘' requires the city to keep t! —_—— THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1908, »Arr@ins AT SOUTH OMAAA Bubway Proposition ia No: Pojular with Oity Anthorities. MAYOR THREATENS 10 VETO ORDINANCE Some Provi T % of the Mensure Are Bind the City Too Closely and to Entall Hardship, #fuch opposition 1s being developed to the Passage of the ordinance submitted by the Unlon Pacific and the Unlon Stock Yards ©omyanies, in relation to the comstructio Of & subway under N street to the stock yards. The plans submitted to the council Wwere drawn on February 2, 180). These plans were declared fmpracticable at the time by W. 8. King, chief engineer of the Unlon Btock Yards company. Yesterday forenoon Counciiman W. P. Adkins called &t the city clerk's office and attached his Bmame to the ordinance as its introducer. One of the objections raised is that under this ordinance the city would be compelled 10 maintain electric lights and police pro- tection in the subway. Another provision e subway clean And that all storm water must be kept out. The blue print on flle shows that the subway will bave an eastern terminus at or near the Delmonico hotel, Twenty- Seventh and N streets, and that there will be twenty-five steps down. At the western end twenty-two steps will lead up to the Pavement at the stock yards bouleyard, An elght foot walk for pedestrians Is provided and an eighteen foot driveway. ~The driveway will terminate at the Union Pacific depot. There is a 10 per cent grade oh this Incline from the depot to the base of the tunnel Mayor Koutsky sald last night that if the council passed the ordinance as it now 18 he will veto it. Adkins, who signed the Ordinancs said last night that the ordinance Would have to be amended considerably be- fore he would vote for it on third reading ‘Welsh, Smith and Broderick made the same remark. Some of the councilmen say that the subway proposition is merely made 10 stave off the bullding of a viaduct for & fther year or two. A steel bridge across the tracks will cost a great deal more than & subway. Should the Union Pacific and the Btock Yards company bufld a via- duct, these companies would be required 10 keep the same in repair and open all the year. . Strike Not Probable. Up to last night no news had been re- eelved from Chicago regarding the deeisfon Of the beef butchers, E. A. Cudahy is #till at home sick. Through a representa- tive he stated to a reporter for The Bee Jast night that he had not heard from Chicago. He doos not expect any trouble with the beef butchers employed by his eompany. R. C. Howe returned from Chi- eago yesterday. He sald last night that there was absolutely no news. The fact that Mr. Howe ‘eaves for the west this Afternoon is an Indication that there is Bothing serfous In the meetings of the | @malgamated meat cutters. As for the. Members of the union here, they decline » %0 state what the result of the meeting on Monday night was.

ASSAULT RESULTS IN MURDER Lou Hale, Colored, Dies as Result of Injuries Inflicted by Frank Overocke: Frank Overocker, who is almost blind, committed an assault upon Lou Hale, col- ored, at 1200 Dodge street Tuesday even- ing, which ended in her death. Overocker and the woman have been living together at the number given for gome time. According to the story told by those living in the house, they have had more or less trouble ever since they have been living there. Last night about 12 M streets, this teen born to Mr. and Mrs. , Fourteenth and Z street. general manager of the leaves today for an ex- n trip. o'clock Matt Rogers, who lives at 223 North | Eleventh street, came home and found the Hale woman at his house. She was lying down upon the bed and was still able to talk. She told him that Overocker had assaulted her and that she was very sick Police Burgeon Bchleler was sent for and pronounced the woman In a very serious condition. When an examination was made there were no signs of bruises upon her head, although she fold Rogers that she had been hit upén the head. She has none of the symptoms of polsoning, so it is not thought that is the cause of her condition. She dfed at 3 yesterday morn- ing. Bhe was unconsclous for about three hours. Overocker 1s a worthless Individual who has not been doing anything for a living for some time. fore he lost his eight. He has been brough to the police station periodically for sev eral years, always in a drunken condition. It is said ‘that the woman he killed has been making a living for him. The people at the Rogers house say that the woman visited them two or three days | ago and told them that Overocker had given her a beating and that she was suf- fering with & pain in her back. Overocker was caught in a doorway on Dodge street by Detectives Btryker and Hudson about 2 o'clock this morning and locked up at the police station. Several of the inmates of the building where the two have been living were also lodged in jall. They are all colored and refused to talk regarding the matter last night. The room in which Overocker and the woman | have been living is a squalid little place in the rear. Y. M. C. A. GIVES OUT PLANS Announcement M at Opening Re- ception Held at Rooms Last Evening. An exceptionally large number of youns men was in attendance at the opening reception of the season at the Young Men's Christian assoclation Tuesday. As the guests arrived they were conducted through the bullding and viewed the various depart- ments. At Jeast half of those present were invited guests of the members of the as- soclation.

Mrs. James Brown, residing at 926 North Twenty-eighth avenue, was quite seriously burned yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock by the explosion of & jug of gasoline. She was making pickles and picked up a jug of gasoline thinking it was vinegar. When she drew the stopper near the stove, where Severe she was working the gasoline lgnited and | filied the room with flame. The woman's clothing caught fire, and burned her about the lower part of the body and on both arms. There was no one but her little daughter In the house at the time, and she could render her mother no assistance With rare presence of mind the woman caught up a blanket which happened to be lying in the kitchen where she was work- ing, and wrapped it about her. She had barely extinguished the fire in her clothing when she fell unconscious to the floor. When the firemen arrived Mrs. Brown was wedged in against the kitchen door in such a way that it could not be opened. An entrance was gained through the front of the house and she was taken into the open air where she revived. Bhe was later taken to the Immanuel hospital. She was reported as resting easily last night. The kitchen was quite badly damaged by the fire. —_— RECEPTION TO CONGREGATION Dr. Yost of St. Mary's Avenue Church Draws His Flock Together . Socially. A reception was tendered to the congrega- tion of the St. Mary's Avenue Congrega- tional church Tuesday by the pastor, Rev Robert Yost, and Mrs. Yost, in the church pariors. Almost all members of the church were present. The pariors were beautifully decorated with flowers and palms. Re- freshments were served after the program had been carried out. The reception was #iven for the purpose of getting the church people out, and to promote acquaintance among the congregation. It was also in the nature of an opening of the fall work.

Pro- Bigned by the mayor and accepted by the officers of the Omaha Gas company, the resolution extending the gas light contract for two years was safely on file in the comptroller's office, when an injunction re- stralning such action reached the city hall at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. “I signed the order in bed in the presence of a witness shortly after 10 o'clock last night,” sald Mayor Moores. The acceptance from the gas company was filed with the county clerk yesterday morning. When President Zimman reached the city hall to affix his signature to docu- ments handled by the council Tuesday night he could not find the gas extension resolution. He inquired where it was and was told by City Clerk Elbourn that the mayor had asked for it and it had been sent to him The futile restraining order sought to prevent the mayor from signing the resolu- tion and extending the gas contract to Jan- uary 1, 1806, with practically no change in terms. It was signed by Judge Dickinson and obtained by Weaver & Giller, attor- neys, in the name of Stephen Rice, who is supposed to be an employe of the electric light company. Lower Terms Possible, ‘Possibly lower terms might have been secured had pressure been brought to bear on the gas company,” admitted Mayor Moores. “But the attempt of the electric light company to crowd the gas company out of business and secure a monopoly in- duced me to favor the extension. I have no use for a deal of that kind. Now both lighting contracts expire on the same day, two years hence. If the people want mu- nicipal lighting they may vote the bonds, and by the time the contracts expire the plant can be in readiness to provide the service.” From the city clerk's office comes the in- formation that the electric Nght company was not napping Tuesday night. Here is what Mr. Elbourn says: “After the gas resolution had been read Councilman Nicholson placed a sealed en- | velope in my hand. I opened It and saw that it was a lighting proposal from the Omaba Electric Light and Power company. It covered four typewritten pages. The proposition was to extend the present con- tract for three years, or to January 1, 1908, on,condition that the city use a minimum of 1,200 electric street lamps In the mean- time, the price to be $i0 per year. n case the Platte river power canal is realized rates were to be reduced in conformity to the Cecrease in the cost of production. I held this proposal until the gas resolution was adopted, when Councilman Nicholson withdrew it.” Not in Comtempt. City Attorney Wright was asked whether or not the mayor and councll majority, in view of the Stuht injunction, are in con- tempt of court in extending the contraet. He sald he thought not, because the In- Junction related to a certain contract amd this is another. According to President Zimman the Cleveland Vapor. Light company bhad a most excellent proposition to offer, which its manager would have submitted had he been given the opportunity *'I have seen the proposal,” sald Zimman, “and it is ‘a good one. It bids on gas lighting, the intention being to compel the gas company to furnish the lighting ma- terial at the legal retall price and still give the city cheaper gas lighting than it is obtaining at present. We may yet hear from this concern and the proceeding may cut some figure in the present controversy.” Disapproves Council's Aet! After a rather heated discussion and against the vigorous protests of & number of members, the Real Estate exchange yes- terday accepted the report of its light- ing committee and ordered its secretary to send the same to the mayor and city coun- cll as the sentiment of the exchange. The committee in its report believed that the council had acted hastily in the matter and not to the best interests of the city and the taxpayers and recommended that the council rescind its action. % George R. Daughty, manager of the Cleveland Vapor Light company, addressed the exchange, saying that his company in- tended to fight the council's action. BLAME FOR MURDER ON REED Coroner’s Jury Holds Him Rdsponsible for Death of Cora Crisiwell, Whem He Shot. “Cora Crisiwell came to her death from a gunshot wound inflicted by the hand of James Jardine Reed The foregoing was the verdict of the coroner's jury rendered Tuesday' after- noon, after the evidence had been given in the Crisiwell murder case. There was nothing new developed in the testimony given at the inquest. Only seven witnesses were examined, and they simply related how the woman came to her death, the finding of the body and other minor de- tails. Reed, the murderer, was present at the Inquest, and at his own request was permitted to view the body. After looking at it & moment he turned away, and ex- pressed the wish that he too would soon be dead. The undertaking rooms of Brailey & Dor- rance were crowded, and some difficulty was experienced in keeping the crowd un- der control. A large crowd of people stood in the street during the progress of the inquest, A telegram was sent Monday ‘o the LIFE'S PLEASURE.

The annual inspection of the Omaha po- lice_ yesterday afternoon was a complete success. The maneuvers of the officers, the condition of the police station and all fits appurtenances disclosed the fact that the | utmost preparation had been made for the | event. The Inspection, therefore, passed oft without & hitch under the guidance of Bergeant Hayes, who acted as drillmaster. Bixty-four uniformed men comprised the ranks of the eight platoons, which were officered by Captain Mostyn, first platoon Captain Hage second, Sergeant Rentfrow third, Bergeant Cook fourth, Sergeant Gib- bons fifth, Sergeant Sigwart sixth, Ser- geant Dempsey seventh and Officer Flynn eighth. Two uniformed men were placed one at each end of the block between Doug las and Dodge streets on Eleventh the drill and Inspection were held, a total of six resenting Omaba’ men. Precisely at 3 p. m. Chief Donahue, ar- rayed in full uniform and insignia of office, accompanied by Messrs. Spratlen, Broatch, Thomas and McHugh, fire and police com- missioners, put in an appearance and the inspection began. Councilman C. P.

Commissioner Broatch then made a few remarks in which he complimented the chief and force on the fine showing made, also on their discipline, which he said never had been better to his knowledge.

FOUR LEGISLATORS T0 ELECT Veoant Places in House to Be Filled at Polls This Fall KENNEDY AND SPURLOCK ALREADY RESIGN N. M. Nelson is Expected to Soon a; John R. Musick's Death Com- pletes the Quartet of Vacancies. At least four vacancies will exist in the lower branch of the Twenty-elghth Ne- braska legislature by the time of the fall election and it will be necessary, therefore, for four new members to be elected: to fill these places. The Bee wiready has reported the resig- nation of Representative J. A. C. Kennedy from Douglas county’s contingent in the house and its acceptance by the governor. George M. Bpurlock, who represented the Eighth district, comprising part of Cass county, in the house, has just sent his resignation to the governor and it is under- stood that N. M. Nelson, representing the Nineteenth district, composed of Cedar and Plerce counties, Intends doing Nkewise. The fourth place to be filled is that made vacant before the convening of the last session, by the death of John R. Musick of Nuckolls county. Mr. Spuriock removed from Plattsmouth to Omaha and engaged In a law partner- ship with T. W. Blackburn. He is prepar- g to dispose of all his property at Platts- mouth and make Omahahis permanent home. Under the statutes, therefore, he 18 obliged to give up his seat in the legisla- ture. Mr. Kennedy, as is known, goes into the county attorney’s office here today and Mr. Nelson is a candidate for treasurer of his home county. He has not yet, so far as is known, sent his resignation to Governor Mickey, but will do so, naturally. No Politieal Changes Yet. Unless the election of the new members makes some changes, the political plexion of the legislature wiil not changed by Spurlock and Nelson, are republicans, and two, Kennedy and Musick, fusionists, the former being a democrat, the only one elected from Douglas county last year, and the latter a populist. Kennedy was one of the most formidable debaters on the floor of the house and a pronounced fusion leader. a debater and fighter which fell to the Jof of few other members of either branth of the legislature. Quick, decisive and force- ful, he established Limself, of the youngest members, early in the session, as a strong leader. He occupled a prominept sphere throughout the entire session. He was named by Speaker Mockett as chair- man of the sifting committee, which is a potent factor In every legislature, and his be | wark in this capacity was pronounced very satistactory. THE REPUBLICAN FORUM OMAHA, Sept. %.—To the Editor of The Bee Who shall be our county assessor is the paramount issue of this campaign. A momens ago | was In the city treas- urer’s office, and, as she pald her 108 taxes, a woman was heard to remark: “I am sav- deal on this year's taxes. Why," she said, “my taxes are much less this year than last.” As a matter of fact, = great progress has been made In arriving | of the burdeps of | at proper distribution Omaha city taxes. We are getting nearer the place where the small property owner pays only his own proportion, flereafter the assessment of all property in Douglas county for state and county purposes is ‘o be In the han of one per- son—the county assessor. Much will de- pend on him. The old county assessmer is wholly bad, and the county assessor must make a new assessment throughout. For years we have been following along in the old way. Many have been contributing more than thelr share of state and county taxés, while othere are contributing less than their share We want & man in t assessor who will take up the work along the line pursued by the present ¢ity tax commissioner. I belleve Harry D such & man. He is honest, competent and eficlent. He is pot & politiclan, and wil have neither friends to reward nor enemies to punish. He will not use the office as a office of county is well for the mewmbers of the party at the present time to see to It that no third term aspirant gets on the ticket Even Grant, great and good as he was, could not overcome the gencral feeilng against third terms in office, and was defeated in his third term aspirations. Public office is a pubiic honor, and as but few can ever attain a public office, it is well to give new blood a chance. I know that when a man once gets into an office he hates to ever Jet go. even after two full terms, and he often becomes chronic in his desire to hold on, but the feeling of republicans generally is against third terms, and it must be con- sidered. It is well to have all offices overhauled every two terms, to see whether everything has been conducted properly, and the best way to do It is to put in new men. There are two candi- dates now before the people each seeking a nomination for more than two terms, Judge Vinsonhaler for county judge and E. J. Bodwell for county superintendent, and I think their places should be given to new men. 1 favor giving Mr. Elgutter the nomination for county judge this time, as he is a long-time resident and thoroughly capable, and would favor J. H. Tullis for county superintendent, as he is capable and the almost universal -choice of the country precincts. After two terms a man ought either to aspire to some higher office, as Robert Smith is doing, or give someone elpe a chance. If public office is a good thing, pass it along. Give new men a chance.

And, further, as it has sometimes happened, that by an unfor- tunate nomination the republican nominee has been defeated, and it is a well known fact that the court house is now full of | democrats, while the democratic party is | about 1,500 in the minority, #o that it is im- portant that men be nominated who are not only qualified to fill the-positions, but must be vote getters as well. When Mr. Haverly ran the first time his majority was 2,235, one of the largest ma- jorities given anyone on the ticket. When he ran the last time his majority in the city of Omahe and the county precincts was 2,00, which was cut down somewhat by democratic South Omaha, and The Bee at the time said that “he led the procession.’ For these reasons, he not being #m un- known quantity, 18 certainly the man to nominate.
