MANY TAKE HASTY LEAVE \ conference between Mayor Dahl- man, Chief of Police Dunn and City Commissioner Jardine resulted in a decision to arrest and keep on bread and water Industrial Workers of the World leaders unless they persuade their men who stop in Omaha to en- guge in honest work at once or leave the city. I'his ultimatum of the officials seems to have made some impression, Thurs- day night 400 Industrial Workers of the World leit the city. One hundred went north on an Omaha line train and another hurdred went to Fremont and vicinity on a Northwestern train Many walked across the Douglas strect bridge into lowa. Local Industrial Workers of the World leaders attended the confer- cice, which was held in the mayor’s othee, I'he situation has assumed such a serious aspect that the authorities in- tend to rid the city of vagrants. There s plenty of work here just now for men who want work, and in view of that situation the immediate future is not bright for loafers who sojourn here. 5 v The police have been instructed to round up the idlers who hang around tricts of the city, Commissioner Jardine remained in the raiiroad yards until 11 o'clock Thursday evening and witnessed the exodus of floaters. Anniversary Feast | Over Lobingier's Court at Shanghai On June 30, last, Judge Charles S. Lobingier, formerly at Omaha, later judge at Manfla and now American representative in the international court at Shanghai, was the central figure there in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the establish- ment of that court. The occasion took the form of a banquet with about 300 guests, over which Judge Lo- bingier presided. According to the newspaper ac- counts, which have been received, the chief address was by Paul S. Reinsch, American minister toChina, and let- ters of congratulation were read from Secretary of State Lansing, former Minister Edwin Denby, former Presi- dent Taft, former Secretary of State Elihu Root, the Germa.. consul gen- eral at Shanghai, and the chairman of the British Bar committee. Sues Sister for Sl@fiof Estate Two sisters are plaintiff and de- fendant in a suit filed in federal court involving property worth $75,000. They are Mrs, Sarah A. Bressler and Mrs. Mary C. Ludwig, daughters of the late Caroline Fenstermacher of West Point. Mrs. Bressler alleges that her sis- ter, Mrs. Ludwig, ung the latter's hus- band, Henry W. Ludwig, used undue influence in getting the aged Mrs. Fenstermacher to make a will in their favor, conveying to them her farm in Cuming county valued at $75,000. The petition states that the aged woman could not read or write Eng- ssnand could lcarcely speak it; also that she was “childish” and altogether unable to realize the purport of the documents she signed. Mrs. Ludwif took care of her aged mother and father during the last vears of their lives, The plaintiff seeks to secure an cqual share in the estate with the de- tendants. Holdup Men Nail Two Victims Thursday Night I'he activities of two negro holdup men in the downtown district Thurs- day night were reported by two of the victims. Walter Woodward of Locust, S, D., was accosted by the dusky “stickup artists” and relieved of a $62 roll. The holdup occurred at Nineteenth and Harney streets. The ncgroes were not so success- ful when they held up George Rod- den of Harlan, la. They took his pocketbook, which contained $4, and sent him on his way with the admon- ishment “not to look back.” The sec- ond holdup was staged at Ninth and Dodge streets.

Considerable mystery surrounds the death. At 9:30 this morning Kennedy left his home at 1506 Soutli Twenty- fifth avenue. It was presumed he was going to his work. But about 10 o'clock Dr. Betz re- ceived a call from 2516 N street. He hurried to the address and found Ken- nedy dead.

Men Rush to Enlist in The United States Army A great rush of men to enlist in the United States army is an unexplain- able phenomenon of the local recruit- ing_ office. Eleven men were enlisted Friday, which utterly smashes all previous records for a day. Including the sub-stations, ninety- three have enlisted so far this month. The highest previous record was eighty-five. And that was for a whole month. Of the eleven enlisted, ten were sent to Fort Logan, Colo.. and one to the signal corps at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, \ BEST HAS PLAN FOR TAXING THE AUTOS| County Commissioner Would Fix It So None Could Escape. | TO MAKE TAXES EQUAL|, County Commissioner Frank Best, | chairman of the finance committee of | the county board, will Monday recom 1 mend to the board of commissioners that they undertake action to obtain an entire new system of automobile taxation in Nebraska. The plan favored by Best is similar to that under which the state of lowa now is receiving $1,500,000 annually through automobile taxation, Machines are to be removed from | the personal tax lists, and the full| | tax is to be imposed in the form ot a license, cach machine being taxed| in accordance with the indicatcd horse power. | Under the lowa plan the owner of | a flivver would pay a smaller tax tha the owner of the big touring car, the | difference being figured upon relative | horse power. i For the Road Fund. Funds derived would go mto the, road fund. “Tt is very difficult to tax automo. | biles equitably under the presen law,” says Best. “lu the first place, | it is impossible {or the assessor to locdte all machines. Some are out of the state, others are concealed by | owners,, and some are simply missed when the assessor makes his rounds Many cars, too, escape taxation dur- ing the first year they are owned in | the state. “Again, the average valuations of | cars are dropping steadily, because of | the inability of the assessor to de- termine depreciation, ctc. UUndoubted- ly the owner of a small car pays a bigger proportionate tax than the owner of a big machine, and the re- verse should be true. Many Cars Missed. “About 5,000 machines are listed in Douglas county tax lists, while the licenses issued during the vear run well upward toward 7,000. This dis- parity is not found in Douglas county alone, but all over the state. “If the full tax was imposed at the time the license number was issued, it would be impossible to evade taxa- tion, and the assessors’ work would be greatly simplified. “Towa has found this form of auto- mobile taxation a great success, an’. a much fairer plan than the old oue. The man who drives a big car should bear a Jarger share of taxation for road upkeep than the chap with small roadster, and this equalization can be mde under the Iowa plan.” A strong sentiment exists in the state, according to Mr. Best, in favor of this kind of a law, and he believes it can easily be passed by the legisia- ture. In all probability the boar:! will go on record as strongly in favor of the measure. How to Cure Coughs and OColds. Keep out of drafts, avold exposurs.
