The busy centers where wheels hum, engines churn and chains clank in the manufacture of the thousands of products in Omaha, strutted forth upon the streets in a magnificent in- dustrial parade. This was the first of the series of three great parades to be staged this week in connection with the Ak-Sar- Ben festivities. Twenty-six companies of manufac- turers, wholesalers and numerous re- tailers came forth with handsome floats typifying their respective ac- tivities or industries. Implements and machines were in operation on the floats throughout the parade. Bread was baked and ice cream was distrib- uted to the crowds of spectators. Overalls and shirts were manufac- tured on the floats before the eyes of the on-lookers. Thousands Throng Streets. Tens of thousands thronged the |76 streets long before the parade was to start. The postoffice stegs became popular seats two hours before the parade was scheduled /to start, as these steps are always popular van- tage. points from which to view pa- rades. The principal streets along the line of march were roped off with steel cables, so that the crowd could be more conveniently kept back of the road while the parade was in proces- sion. A platoon of mounted police head- ed the parade, clearing the way of all stragglers who had not yet found their way behind the steel cables on the side lines. Then came the twelve members of the boatd of governors of Ak-Sar-Ben, mounted on handsome horses, tiding in uniform of white, with Ak-Sar-Ben icolors flying. Bands at” intérvals throughout the parade: lent spirit' to the whole affair, and shortly after 2 o'clock if led off from the starting point at Sixteenth and Cuming streets, The battalion of high school cadets followed. .Shirts and Overalls. The Byrne & Hammer Dry Goods company had a model shirt and over- all factory on wheels. Though the machinery was silent, the twenty-two working girls in white were at their places at the various tasks of manu- facturing the shirts and overalls, and on the float were two pyramids of the finishet product, one of overalls and the other of shirts. The float was forty feet long and drawn hv six black horses. 3 Paxton & Gallagher had almost an exact fac-simile of the king's float, with the addition of a“huge pan of Butternut coffee. A beautiful canopy was arranged and under this sat a queen on a throne. Thec words, “Queen of Coffees,” were worked out in colors of the forest, with butter- nut trees in evidence. Four black horses drew the float. Stock Yards Float. The Union Stock Yards company had .a float that combined industry with_humor. A huge mounted steer occufdied the front center of the float. A fantastic barber shop was repre- sented, in which a barber was shav- ing a hog, and in another compart- ment a tailor was adjusting a corset on the form of a lamb, these two representations being intended to give the idea of dressing hogs and sheep. Eight men occupied the float, which was drawn by six iron gray horses. The Harding Ice Cream company had a five-ton truck, upon which a (Continned on Page Two, Column Five.) e e e i The Weather For Nebraska—Showers and_cooler. Temperatures at Omaha Yesterday.

FOUR BODIES ARE FOUND Cleveland, O., Oct. 3—Four bodies have been recovered, several other | dead are believed to be in the, wreckage and mere than thirty are in hospitals as the total of a bridge | tragedy here early this evening, when two street cars collided on the West Third strect bridge, causing it to col- lapse and precipitate the cars thirty feet to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tracks below. There were forty per- sons on one car and twenty on the other. The accident occurred when a southbound Scranton road car, carry- ing a crowd of women shoppers home at the rush hour of the day, broke away from the motorman on a hill approaching the bridge and tore down upon the north approach to the bridge just as a northbound car reached the same point. The runaway car jumped ; the track and struck the northbound car, The combined weight of the (wo‘ cars and the shock of the collision | was too much for the wooden bridge, which sagged and then gave way. Operator Sees Accident. Edna Waddington, a telephone | operator, employed by the Erie rail- road, saw the acident from where she sat at her switchboard, and turned in | a call for ambulances, doctors, and | the fire department. Hundreds within earshot of the scene heard the shrieks and cries of pain and. terror as the cars carried their burden, for the most part wom- en, to death or injury. ’ The work of rescue began at once. Those who had not been seriously injured extricated themselves and then gave aid to those less fortunate. It was not long until thirty had been taken out and carried to. hospitals. i Some porbably are fatally injured. The portion of the bridge which fell is just north of the river. It is twenty- five years old. The main part of the structure was washed away in the 1912 flood and was replaced the same year by another wooden bridge, bought in Detroit and brought here, Promise an Inquiry. Mayor Harry L. Davis and Public Utilities Director Thomas S. Farrell rushed to the scene and promised to conduct a strict inquiry in an effort to place responsibility for the dis- aster. Motorman H. T. Daniel of the soufhbound runaway car escaped seri- it dashed down the hill, out upon the bridge, jumped the track and crnshed' into the other car, with him unable to stop its progress. “I felt the bridge tremble when the cars came together and both cars fell with the bridge,” said Daniel. « The southbound car was smashed flat by the force of the crash. There is no part of its framework left intact. The northbound car was badly dam- aged, but portions of it remain so that it can readily be distinguished in the wreckage. The dead, whose bodies have been recovered, include Otto Dorchert, conductor of the southbound car; D O'Keefe, motorman of the north- bound car, and two unidentified men. Driver’s Fate Not Known, A delivery wagon and horse, manned by a driver, which was on the collapsed portion of the bridge, also went down with the structure. The fate of the driver could not be learned. Delay in scarching the wreckage was occasioned by the fear that re- moval of the debris might cause the remainder of the bridge to fall. The entire bridge is 300 feet long. \First Kansas Troops | Will Be Sent Home! | Washington, Oct. 3=The following | | National Guard organizations will be | sent to their home stations for mus- | tering out as soon as the Michigan | contingent which has been ordered | south reaches the border.

ROSE WRITES THE OPINION (From a Staff Correspondent.) Liycoln, Oct. 3.—The state supreme court this morning held the act of the legislature constitutional abolishing the office of county coroner in Doug- las county. The court holds that “the act requiring the county attorney | to perform the duties of coroner is complete in itself and does not violate the constitutional provision relating to the amendment of laws,” The opin- ion was by Judge Rose. | The case was instituted as a test by Coroner Crosby of Douglas county, who was prevented from filing nom- ination papers for that office by the election commissioner, Under the new law, the duties of coroner will be taken over Jattary 1, 1917, by the county attorney, assisted by the sheriff and county clerk.
