McCrann met with them at the doctor's residence Friday evening, in celebration of the twenty-fifth wedding anniyersary of the ploneer physiclan. The celebration was a quiet one and character- fstic of the family. Many kindly remem- brances were recelved. S8ome of the silver pieces and sets were elegant and all were most appropriate an@ welcome. Fifteen children of the doctor's remarkable family were present.

NO PROHIBITION FOR THIS MAN Republican Ci e for Mayor Says He Wil Do More for Personal Liberty Than Merely Brag and Blaster. John Paul Breen denounces the story in the World-Herald to the effect that he ad- vocated prohibition In lowa back in 1883, as false, and the man who wrote It efther is dishonest or & fodl. This occurred at a meeting held at the fhall at Eighteenth and Vinton streets, at which Mr. Breen, H. B. Zimman and many of the candidates talked. Mr. Breen took up the World-Herald charges and denounced the statements as false. The bill providing for the submis- sion of & prohibitory amendment in lowa he said was passed by the legisiature of 18%.and the amendment was ratified and went Into effect in June, 1882, The pro- hibition fight was over and the law was in effect he sald before he began his rece for register of deeds in Webster county to which the World-Herald referred. Mr. Breen sald he had never advocated prohibition and had never made a spesch in favor of prohibition, but on the other hand he had voted against the amendment when submitted in fowa. His brother he said had never been his law partner, and in fact was never a lawyer, the World- Herald notwithstanding. Matter of Personal Liberty. The republican candidate for mayor as- sured the audiencq that he belleved the mayor of a city like Omaha should be a man who realized this condition and who wns broad enough to understand how to handle the questions which were bound to come up. He belleved in amusements and as mayor of the city he would have the same regpect for the liberty of others that he has now. He told the people it was up to them to safeguard their personal liberties by calling to thelr ald men of power who did more than blow and bluster, for, he said, the man who struts around blowing and bluffing about personal liberty is not the kind of man who will save them when the big fight comes. He called attention to the fact that one who had stood by them and had helped to safeguard their liberties wns now asleep on the hilleide, and that man, he said, was not a blusterer. He belonged to the class of men, he sald, who ls always on hand in the blg fight, and it is that class, he said, who do the big fighting for the people. Democratie Pledges. Mr. Zimman called attention to the pledges of the democrats three years ago and their pledges at this time. He told | them how Mayor Jim's backbone had gone back oh him when he was told fo take the screens out of saloons and he sald it had | been this way all through the three years he had been in office. Govetnor Shallen- berger, he said, had ‘lied to the people of Omaha and South Omaha and the state, for he had taken his beer at a meeting of Germans during the campalgn and had led the people to belleve he saw no objections to this practice, and yet ho had signed the 8 o'clock closing law. It would not be possible for the saloon- keepers to violate the daylight saloon law, no matter how many premises Mayor Dahl- man made, because if the mayor dld per- mit its violation he would be removed from office under the Sacke#t law by Governor Shallenberger. The only remedy, he sald, is for the peo- ple of Omaha to elect republicans to office and two years from now the party may secure the repeal of the law. SUMMING UP AT MESSINA Losses in Life and Money Calculated by an American Corre- pondent. In casting the balance sheet of Meesina, the chief loss, speaking merely In terma of economics, is that of human life. How many are dead we shall never know ex- actly, but the materials for & tolerable esti- mate are already at hand—in the condition of the ruins, the rough statistics of the escaped, and the Impressions of the cooler observers in the first hours and days of the cataltrophe. One who, like Captain de Angells, counted the dead and living In-the villages toward the Faro, visiting also the ruins of the city, Is in a position to make & pretty close estimate. In the commune of Messina he belleves $0,000 souls have perished, or consjderable more than half the population, which was roughly 150,000, My reckoning was made on the conviction that two-thirds of the inhabitants of the city proper, containing 92400 people, had perished, and of these three-quarters in- stantaneously or through slow exhaustion deep in the ruins. The first shock of the earthquake, 1 belleve, either killed or trapped no less than 60,000 people in the cty. In the outlaying district, where the houses are lower, the deaths from subse- quent exposure and famine perhaps ex- ceeded those caused immediately by the | shock. Reggio, across the straitx had an urban Ppopulation of 21,00. The whole commune, a large one, had 44,40 inhabitants Here help came slowly; there were no unshaken Prosperous towns near by to give akd and asylum, and the tidal wave drowned many. The dead st Regglo (the commune) will the dead In Sicily outside the commune of Messina, and in Calabria those who per- Ished outside of Reggio. How many these were s a mere guess. But I think 10,000 1s not an excessive estimate. Ingthese out- laying districts, with dearth of food, water and surgical ald, the death rate among the refugees was appalling. It we say | that in the entire field of destruction 120,000 men, woman and children perished, we shall not be very far from the facts, and, I think, well within them. The Mattino of Napies, wnich is uncom- monly well Informed In this case, writ ‘We may reckon as destroyed the houses of 30,000 inhabitants in the province of Regglo, and of 20,000 in that of Messina.” It proceeds to qualify these figures in a favorable sense, but roughly they give the measure of the work that must, be done. Nearly 500,000 people must be housed in this reglon. The Mattino, basing its figures | on official valuations, estimates the value of the destroyed houses on the tax roll at Including the little houses not taxed, and the cost of rebullding the public structures, the construction bill In sight cannot be less than $34.000,000 Bvidently this is a wide guess. Public building is notorlously expensive in Italy, while it Is doubtful if private owners will be in haste to rebulld. But something like $20,000,000 may represent the loss in real estate. But recent emigration trom these regions makes me suspect that the figures are based on a census of elght years ago. The true fig- ures must be somewhat smaller.—Frank J.

To the Bditor of The Bee.—Your rofer- ence to the 1910 Northwest Baengerfest would make It appear that some one of its sponsors had conditioned the success of that festival as dependent upon the num- ber of hours during which beer can be obtained. 1 wish to state most emphati- cally that no such intimation has been | made by anyone of those who have con- sclentiously and with sincere regret advo- cated the abandopment of the festival on account of the cight o'clock closing law and I cannot comprehend why such a pre- poaterous idea should be lent color by commenting upon it editorially. * The bi-ennial SBasngerfests are important musical events, promoted exclusively by the members of German singing socleties and their friends. Two thousand male volces were to take part in the grand chorus at Omaha, and at least forty thous- and visitors from out of town, Germans necemsarily predominating, were expected to attend. It s well known that besides his inborn love for music, the German has also an intense feeling for personal liberty and a quick resentment of its abridgements. As to real ‘temperance and moderation, how- ever, and which means the temperate en- joyment of all of God's gifts, Germans need not shun comparison with the many other races of which this nation is com- posed, whether domiciled here for ten gen- erations or one. To make such a festival successful, so- clally, musically and financlally all the surrounding conditions must be perfectly favorable. A city asking for such a meet- Ing its citizens and institutions must be liberal and broad-gauged. An 8 o'clock closing law, or any other unreasonable restrictions are naturally abhorrent to the average German, even though he may be personally abstemious. Will he feel like spending .his holiday In a city or state where the perfidy of political tricksters has plnted fllierality and intolerance, plants which will speedily take root and be full grown iby the summer of 19107 Our visitors must be entertained after § p. m., as well as before.

A. L. MEYER. Question from a Voter. | OMAHA, April 24.—To the Editor of The Bee: I went to register at the first district of the Third ward. When I first entered 1 was sworn snd the following questions were asked me: ‘““Where do you live?' I told. him “How long have you lived there?" I told him about one and one-third told him. “How lopz have you lived state and county?’ I told him almost two years. Then he asked me my name. I told him. Then he asked me, “With what party do you affillate?’ This question I re- fused to answer, for he may as well ask me who T was going to vote for, Dahlman or Breen. This I thought was none of his business. Since the last legislature passed & law prohibiting the register from asking your party affiliations. Now on election day will 1 be challenged according to law WILL MANN BONNER. Answer—You arc moot required to state your party affillation and cannot be pre- vented from voting for refusing to do so. Under the present law, If you wish to vote | at a primary election you must have de- | clared at a previous registration your party | affiliation in order to be permitted to vote | at the primary of that party. This was| made the law in order to prevent one party | from interfering with the nominations of | another. The “open primary” bill passed by the last legislature will not become an operative law until after July 1, next, and s0 has no foree at present. It permits any voter to take part in the primary of any party, and will permit republicans to dic- tate democratic nominations and vice versa, But no voter is required to announce his political affiliations unless’ he chooses to, and such refusal is not basis for chal- Saloon Licemse. , Neb., Aprii 2.—~To the Ed- : Please declde the follow- ing qYestion: In a wet town, where no ordi- nance has been passed limiting the num- ber of saloons, A says the board can issue «two or three licenses, just as it thinks s the board is obliged to issue licenses to all applicants, providing all have complied with. the law and are proper per- sons to run a saloon under the Slocumb law. Which is right? A READER OF THE BEE. Answer—Under the Slocumb law, the city council or village board has the power to fix the number of licenses that may be granted to saloons, to limit the number and the territory, to assess the amount of license fee, save that it shall not be less than the amount prescribed by law for the different classes of communities, and to fix the hours for doing business, save that the saloons may not be legally kept open between the hours of 1 and 4 o'clock & m. on week days or at any time on Sundays.
