Meeting Soon.
A ineetinR of the Ministerial Union and
Ushers association was held last night nt
the Kountzo Memorial church for the pur-
IHJSO of hearing n re [ > ort from the joint com
mittee appointed to inquire Into the extent
of gambling , Ilk-gal selling of liquor and the
Boclal evil.
There were about sixty men present , a
larpo majority of them buiiitf laymen. The
meeting was called to order by Hov. 0. G.
Sterling.
Hov. Detwlcler , chairman of the special
committee , was called upon to report the
facts ascertained by the committee. Ho said
the committee had interviewed thoofllclals of
of the city whose duty it was to enforce the
laws Intended to suppress vice. Ho said
that the police authorities had talked very
freely about the method In vogue for several
years for keeping in cheek the evil of prosti
tution. The system of monthly fines ,
they said , had been found bone-
llclal , IJy this method the police were
enabled to keep a watchful eye
upon the women of low character
and all the dens of vice could In this way bo
kept under the surveillance of the police
ofllcers. Tills seemed to bo the best plan
that the oniclals had discovered for holding
the social evil In check under present con
ditions.
Krpt t'tnlrr ( looil Control.
The committee was Riven to understand
that Omaha was no worse In this respect
than other cities ; in fact , the ofllclals claimed
that the social evil wus kept more under
cover in Omaha than inmany neighboring
cities of similar sizo. The system of lining
women of ill rcputd monthly gave
the police more authority , the ofllcials
claimed , and in this way the evil
was kept In check. The committee found
that the city realized about $20,000 per
nnnum from the flues collected -from the
women who live in shame , and about $280-
000 from saloon licenses.
With regard to the licensing of gambling
houses Dr. Uetwcller reported that this
form of disgrace and lawlessness had be
come very much more open and bold since
the monthly line or licensing scheme had
come into vogue. The police authorities
had told the committee that the monthly
lining of gambling houses had concentrated
the evil and confined it to certain resorts
which were open to the police
nt all times , and for this reason
had been salutary in Its effects.
This was simply what the committee had
been told by the police. The committee was
informed that additional legislation would
have to bo secured before gambling could bo
entirely prohibited. The ofllcials advised
the committee to move upon the legislature
for more stringent laws.
The committee had found that the saloons
were undoubtedly selling liquor on Sunday ,
but the authorities seemed to think that the
only way to stop it was to induce the license
boa'rd to revoke the license of the saloon
keeper who was found violating the law.
I.nwH Already Kullk'lcnt.
Several very pointed questions were asked
Ilov. Dr. Detweiler , and ho answered them as
best ho could from the standpoint of the
Omaha authorities.
Li. D. Holmes held that the laws already
incorporated In the statutes of tno state
were nuflleicnt to close gambling dens every
day In the -woolr , close the saloona on Sunday
and drive the prostitutes out of the city if
they were properly enforced. What the
city needed was n healthy , moral sentiment
to back up the authorities in the enforce
ment of the law. Hefavored the idea of
calling a citizens meeting to secure a more
general action of the law-abiding people of
Omaha upon the matter.
Hov. W. H. Murray offered a resolution
condemning the system of licensing vice now
in vogue in Omaha.
O. H. Bellow offered n substitute to raako
It the scuso of the meeting that the laws
ought to bo enforced. Ho thought it was
too late to flght over the old prohibition dis
pute. The thing to do was to have the laws
enforced.
Will Hope for Hotter Things.
Kov. Frank A. Henderson struck a key
note when ho said "I am not in favor of the
original motion because I think that it is not
necessary. The people of this town ought
to know that as Christian men we are
opposed to the licensing of vice. I am in
favor of getting the best wo can from the
laws that wo havo. It Is no use for us to
make a poor mouth because wo have not
better laws. Let us do the best we can with
our present laws and work and pray for
better. "
His remarks were heartily applauded.
The substitute offered by Mr. Bellow was
put and carried.
Mr. C. A. Starr favored the Idea of send
ing a mammoth petition to the city
council calling for the enforcement of the
laws for the suppression of gambling , prosti
tution and the opening of saloons on bunday.
Ho thought that n fund of $5,000 or more
should bb raised for the purpose of backing
up this petition. Ho moved that a commit
tee bo appointed to draft this petition and
got the movement started.
Mr. John Dale favored the inauguration of
a movement that would compel the officials
to enforce the law. lie wanted a public
meeting called for the purpose of gathering
together n 'largo congregation of the law-
abiding citizens , Hinging resolutions coin
ing from such a meeting would awaken the
authorities , Mr. Dale maintained , and ho
wanted to see a great mass meeting for this
purpose.
l Co to the Council.
Mr. Starr's motion was carried and the
chairman appointed the following committee
to prepare a petition to bo submitted to the
city council : Messrs. Starr. Bird , Bryitn ,
McCulloch and 1'errino.
Dr. J. M. Wilson moved that all the min
isters of the city bo requested to preach
upon the enforcement of law.
Dr. Gordon wanted to sec a great mass
meeting held , In which Protestants ,
Catholics , Jews and all law-abiding people
could Join hands in the effort to got the laws
enforced.
Dr. "Wilson's motion was amended so as to
provide that the ministers should bo re
quested to present the matter from their
pulpits , but not necessarily to preach a sor-
tnon upon It , and then it was passed.
On motion of Mr. Bellow tiio meeting re
quested all the churches of the city to again
send in petitions opposing the opening of the
World's ' fair on Sunday.
I'orm of the Volition.
The committed apj > olnicd to draft a peti
tion brought in the following report , which
vras adopted :

Charles H. Iloyt enjoys n stellar reputation
as a constructor of farce comedy. His pen
is responsible for the creation of many bright ,
pleasing skits , whoso success has been of a
llatterlng order. Of the many things writ
ten by him , his clever satire on railroads
and drummers , entitled "A Hole in the
Ground , " which opens a two nights' engage
ment at the Boyd this evening , is considered
to be one of the best. The subject is one
that permits of humorous elaboration , with
out any attempt at burlesque. The story of
"A Hole In the Ground" offers no innovating
prestige as regards plot. The main object of
the piece is to create fun , and as this latter
article is best acquired from a conglomera
tion of specialties , song and music , the
author has wisely adopted these elements in
the construction of 'his skit. The piece has
been entirely changed since last hero , the
dialogue brightened , now specialties added ,
bright , catchy music introduced , until al
most entirely a now comedy has been
created.
_
"Tho Paries' Well" is a pleasing story ,
founded on the tradition that the maiden who
looks into a certain well on a moonlight Hal
lowe'en will sco therein her "fate. " The
action Is generally brisk ; there is a grateful
absence of redcoats and Informers ; several of
the characters are cleverly drawn and the
serious interest of the pleco Is happily tem
pered with the comic spirit. The second act is
made especially entertaining by the intro
duction of a lively Irish dance , In which most
of the principal dramatis persomu partici
pate , and the merriment Is continued during
the fairies' well episode of act third. This
attraction opens Sunday matinee , January
29 , at the Farnam Street theater and con
tinues all next week with the usual
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

OMAHA POLICE DEPARTMENT
Showing Made by Ohlof Boavoy's Annual Re
port to the Commissioners.
EXCELLENT RECORD FOR A SMALL FORCE
Crlmn on the Ilccrcnuo In the City Much

Rcstlotu Tor I'oftftlhlo Improvement !
Itoiillne Work of the llonril.
The annual report of the chief of police
was submitted to the Board of Fire and Po
lice Commissioners at last night's meeting.
At present the department consists of
ninety-two police ofllcers and one matron.
During the year six detectives have arrested
070 lawbreakers , many of them being prom
inent criminals in the western country , and
have recovered and returned to the proper
owners money and Jewelry to the amount of
tl'JS-10 , which Is 1,184 more than has over
before been recovered by the detectives in
any one year.
The cfllciency of the uniformed force has
been increased , and taken all together their
work has been satisfactory.
Less crime was committed during 1892
than for any like period in live years. Since
the capture of Jack Murray , the noted safe
blower last April , the city has been remark
ably free from that class of criminals.
Members of the department were oft duty
2,507 days , 1,03'J ' dajs on account of sickness ,
and 775 days annual leave.
There were 0f , > 07 persons arrested during
.the year , 874 being females and 103 being
boys and girls under the ago of 10. In most
cities the convictions averagO about CO per
cent of the arrests , but of the 0,007 persons
arrested -hero ; iM8 ! were convicted and yO.M
cases dismissed.
Drunkenness Is decreasing. For being
drunk or drunk and disorderly lC83 persons
were locked up. while in 1888 2,002 people
were arrested for being drunk.
Of the stolen property reported to the
police during the year , amounting to 50,141 , ,
there was $1 ,785recovered by the uniformed
force.
It cost the city $3,053 to feed the city pris-
oners. The amount of money taken from and
returned to prisoners was § 0U7. !
Since the passage of the ordinance regu
lating pawnbrokers n large amount of stolen
property Is annually recovered which could
bo traced In no other way.
During the year property to the value of
? lll,77i ; was pawned.
The patrol wagons made 2,487 trips during
the year and answered 10.T lire alarms.
In closing his report Chief Scavey made
the following suggestions :
1'uiiHloiiN for Police.
' It seems to mo that sick nnd injured po
lice oflleers do not receive the assistance to
which they are entitled. Other cities con
tribute to the pension fund of their police
departments , and I think our city council
should bo requested to petition the legisla
ture , now in session , to so amend our city
charter as to cause 5 per cent of the amount
of lines paid into the police court , and also of
the amount received for the registration of
dogs , to bo paid into the police pension fund.
"Six months' experience of 'no work no
pay' has worked a hardship to a number of
good police ofllcers. I would therefore sug
gest that the police rules and regulations be
changed so that all police ofllcers absent
from duty with leave ( except their annual
leave ) be allowed half pay. Those that are
absent without leave to be allowed no pay.
And that all oflicers who do not report for
day duty at the morning roll call and night
duty at the hour of o\ening roll call ,
and who may not have permission to
be absent from the chief of police or
their captain or sergeant commanding , and
who are not sick , shall bo considered absent
without leave. And all ofllpersho \ do not.
report for duty as they should do at roll call ,
who may bo indisposed , must , before the ex
piration of twenty-four hours , furnish their
cornrnarjdlng ollicer wi h a. pjiyslcla.n's ccr- ,
tillcato to the effect that they are unflt for
duty , or they too will bo reported and re
corded as being r.bscnt without leave.
Ilns Not Suniclent Force. *
"Whenever I undertake to guard the resi
dent portion of the city with my present
force , the business localities are not properly
protected , and none of our citizens under
stand this so well and so readily as the
criminal class.
"Tho cities of St. Paul. Denver , Kansas
City and other smaller cities , have more
than double the number of policemen that
belong to this department , consequently the
resident portions of those cities are compara
tively protected , while the resident districts
of Omaha usually have no police protection
except the daily and nightly circuit around
the city made by the mounted patrol , and a
largo area of the most thickly populated
portions of the city Is left to the mercy of
tramps , sneak thieves , burglars , house
workers , veranda climbers and other-crim
inals , who. besides our local lawbreakers ,
are always well informed as to the localities
that have no police protection. "
ICxpenso of the Department.
The total receipts of the department , In
cluding the balance of $5b24 left over from
18U1 , were $07,707 , and the disbursements
were f9j,840 , leaving , a balance in hand of
$1,920.
A balance of $7,978 remained in the treas
ury of the Police Hcllef association at
the close of the year.
In concluding his report Chief Seavey
thanked the members of the board , the rank
and file of the police department , the chief
and members ot the lire department for the
kind and generous supi > ort given him during
the year.
Chief Galligan reported the wheels on the
big aerial truck in bad order and a new set
of wheels will bo ordered.
Frank I. Marsh was appointed a special
policeman at Hoyd's theater.
Sergeant Graves was granted a twenty
days' leave of absence on account of sickness.
Some Clifton Jlill residents asked the
board for a hose reel and some hose and
promised to raise a volunteer hose company
if their request was granted. The commit
tee on property will grant the prayer of the
petitioners and loan the Clifton Hill people a
hand hose reel and 400 feet of hoso.
The question of removing the Jail came up
and It was decided that the committee on
property should confer with the council com
mittee , which is looking up sites for a now
Jail. Mr. Hartman favored remaining in the
same place until u suitable Jail building
could bo erected.
Acting as a license board , the commis
sioners granted the folio wine saloon licenses :
Charles Kindlcr , 213 South Thirteenth
su-eot ; Hart & Co. . 12S North Fifteenth street ;
Gus Carey & Co. , 11XK > Farnam street ; Henry
Schroeder , 1121 Saunders street.
A protest was tiled against the granting
of a license to Eburhard Hehler , 2424 South
Twenty-ninth street , the claim being made
that ho kept a disorderly house. This case
will bo heard1 next Monday night.
M. Wallenz gave notice that ho would
appeal from the decision of the board re
garding the refusing of his liquor license.

We've taken something like three hundred
suits of clothes and a hundred and twenty-five
fine coats , vests-scratched the original prices
off the tickets-so's to forget how much they
did sell for-and piled them up in a half dozen
heaps on two tables near the elevator. The
suits are in pretty much all sorts of goods-
cheviots cassimeres-worsteds and silk mix
tures ; cutaways square cut sacks-round cor
ner sacks ; dark and medium colors , in all sorts
of patterns. None of them are worthless than
twelve dollars-and some of them did soli for
as much as sixteen dollars as suit. The coats
and vests are in fine fancy worsteds in black
only-ami if you'd firteen
pay dollars for one
you'd pay Just about what you'd ought to pay.
While once in a while there's a larger size
among them-the majority are from 34 to 38.
If there's anything to suit you among the lot-
and you're mighty hard to suit if there isn't-the
price -eitherfora
now suitto match-or a coat
and vest as the case may be
