Support in City Council Mayor Dahlman said last night thnt he is considering the introduction of an ordinance to license all persons driving automobiles. Several other city commissioners in dicated they will support such an ordinance. "I wilt talk with other city commis sioners about the ordinance Monday tpornlng." said Mayor Dahlman. "I personally favor such an ordinance.” Commissioner Dean Noyes and Com missioner John Hopkins, who carry on much of their work with the use of automobiles, are fully awake to the danger whicli reckless drivers create for pedestrians and other motorists on Omaha streets, and declared they will support the plan for licensing driv ers. Prefers State Daw. Commissioner Dunn is strongly in favor of some regulation which will weed out careless and incompetent drivers, but said he would prefer a state law rather than an ordinance affecting Omaha alone. ”1 think a copy of the Maryland law. which makes it necessary for those driving cars to qualify before an examining board, should be intro duced and passed by the Nebraska state legislature at its next session." said Commissioner Dunn. “The Mary land law is most effective because it provide* that cars belonging to per sons caught driving without licenses shall be impounded. I am not neces sarily against an ordinance which would make a similar regulation a law- in Omaha, but I think it might not be entirely fair to Omahans when thousands of out-of-town peo ple drive into the city every day and use the streets without being sub jected to the same regulation.” Itutte Passes I-aw. Guests at the home of Commission er Noyes received word Saturday that Butte, Mont., had passed an otdln ance making motorists qualify for licenses, the commissioner said. Commissioner Joseph Koutsky said he would be against any ordinance which would create another "fat” po litical Job. "If I ran see some way clear to put a licensing ordinance through and en force it without burdening the pub lic I would not oppose It." said Kout sky. “But I am not In a position to suggest any way at present."

Bryan Boys May Divide Convention Brother Likely to Be Arrayed Against Brother in Fight for Democratic Presidential Nomination. Local Democrats Divided Will there be two Br>ans in the democratic national arena next year? Omaha democrats were quizzical on the subject yesterday. Announcement from Lincoln sev era! weeks ago, that Governor Charles W. Bryan was tiding promot ed for the presidency or vice presi dency, was a political morsel with a kick for many of the governor’s party and was an item of news interest even to the republicans. Press dispatches from the east dur ing the last 24 hours, stating that W. J. Bryan, thrice nominated by the democrats, was considering entering the race with Senator Koyal H. Cope land of New York, as his mate, sent something of a thrill through the Omaha colony of democrats. .Situation I'riique. Brothers mentioned at the same time for democratic presidential nom ination offers something novel—al most a treat—in the whirligig of pol itics. Why should W. J. Br>an of Miami, Fla., be mentioned in this connection a few weeks after his brother s boom has bern launched? Will W. J. retire if Brother Char icy's prospects reach a stage of seri ous consideration in ihe councils of the party? Omaha democrats want to know. Mayor .T. C. Dahlman, speaking as a democrat, said: “In ray opinion, Governor Bryan would be a stronger candidate than his brother. Charles Bryan Is gov ernor and has been mcyor of I.lncoln: he has executive experience. Is a farmer and hog raiser and has dem onstrated In a surprising manner his ability as governor. He has phy sique, practical ability and experi ence, and would be one of the strong est men the democrats could nomi nate. "He has been a winner every time and that is the kind of a man to place lcefore the people.

Louisville. Ky.. Oct. 6—The lhre. convicts who fought off prison guards and militiamen for four days in th« state penitentiary in Kddyville, Ky. are dead at last. Telephone message received here tonight from Kddyville told how they had been asphyxiate*, with ammonia gas sprayed on them through a pipe thrust up to theii barricade. Tanks of compressed ammonia, un der 750 pounds of pressure, were st i up in the prison chapel, from which an inch pipe line was shoved across tto space between the chapel window and dining hall where the convicts were besieged. Under cover of steel armor plate the pipe line was placed. Then the powerful fumes were earned IXto the line. Ammonia gas filled the prison corridors when the gas attack started. Prison attaches sought the open air outside the prison walls and calls to the offices of the warden went unanswered. , Then, when prison officials were certain that no life could exist in the bullet battered fortress which had sheltered the convicts since their break for liberty Wednesday morning, the gas was turned off. A freshening breeze cleared away the fumes. Monte (Text Walters.

Not until 5 p. nt did any one dare venture up on the mess hall. Ciuards Kind Bodies, At 5 o'clock five militiamen, under command of an officer, ventured cir cumspectly toward the barricade. They held their rifles before them cocked and ready for a sortie. But it didn't come. Instead, they found three bodies lying on the floor beside three revolvers and a small quantity of ammunition. Thus, with surprise bordering on the comic, ended one of the most dramatic battles ever to have en gaged the attention of the American public. ft meant that for four •inis th u sands upon thousands ,f bullets had been poured into the dining hall in the center of the prison courtyard upon men unable to lift a finger, but whose reputations were formidable enough to keep many times their number in concealment.
