THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: "WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1001. n CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Iuinuation of th ErJ of Edncttioi ii Quiitlj AnswtiicL COMMITTEE REPORTS ON POLICE COURT J'lndu Tliere la .it Shallow of I'nnndnllnii for the AllcKntlont, of Fraud imrl forrnpflnn on 1'art of the .ilnlnlt rntlon. The city council denies the Imputation contained In a. resolution passed by the BoaM of Education that the police mag istrate's office of Omaha has been negligent In the matter of collecting fines. At a recent meeting of the Board of Education the city council was requested to Investigate the system of fines In operation at the present time In the police court. In pursuance of this request an In vestigation has been made. The committee appointed for the purpose, composed of Councllmen Hascall and Zlraman, sub mitted Its report at last night's meeting of the council, which was adopted by unani mous vote. ' Vour committer finds." the report says, thai In all prosecutions In the police court, presided over by the late Judge Learn,, the accused have been convicted when proved gtftlty after a speedy and Im partial trial and the fines, as soon as col lected, turned over and placed In the school fund. "As to the common report referred to by the Board of Education It proves to be a myth, and no on can be found that knows anything about It. As far as tin be ascer tained the executive department of the city Is vigilant and active and Insinuations of corruption ar without foundation. A resolution was Introduced by Council man Zlmman, providing for the appropri ation of Jl.SOO. representing the additional salary claimed by former Police Judge Gordon, for his services during 1900. The resolution provides that an appropriation ordinance he prepared by the comptroller, and that the J1.600 be paid Judge Gordon In addition to the nine warrants for $100 each which are now In the hands of the comptroller, subject to Judge Gordon's de. mand. On motion of Councilman Zlmman the resolution was referred to the com mittee on finance and claims. .Sritlritirnl vllh German .ilnK, City Clerk Elbourn submitted a com munication from the president of the de funct German Savings bank of Omaha, relative to a settlement of the claims of the city against that Institution. The proposition made the city Is Identical with that submitted other creditors, being an offer to pay 33 1-3 per cent of the balance of thf city's claim as originally allowed against the German Savings bank. The matter was referred to the finance com mittee. City Attorney Counell recommended that the city settle with Walter Roose for personal Injuries, rlalmed to have been re ceived by reason of defective sidewalks. In the sum of J2I. The question of settling the claim on the city attorney's, recom mendation will be taken up by the council In general committee. Mayor Moores forwarded his approval of the ordinance defining and providing for the licensing of Junk dealers. He also ap proved the bond of John Laughland, re cently appointed city poundmaster, and concurred In the resolution extending the time of completion of the Twenty-fourth street viaduct to September 1. The contracts and bonds of J. V. Connolly. J. O. Corby and George Crandall, for the constructor of sanitary sewers, were ap proved. Crowe llrvrard 1'nlieri llown, A resolution was adopted providing for the withdrawal of Ihe. reward1 of $3,000 offered by the city for the delivery of the body of Pat Crowe. In presenting the resolution Councilman Hascall 'called at tention to the fact that the reward of J23.00O offered by the city for the arrest and conviction of Pat Crowe, continues ef fective. Heiry Ottrom and James Connolly, mem bers of the board of county commissioners, accepted the challenge on the part of the county officers for a game of base ball, to be played within the near future between the county and city officials. The chal lenge was read by City Clerk Elbourn. One of Its provisions Is that the money derived from the game shall bt turned Into the Auditorium fund The Great Seoarse of modern times Is consumption. Many cures and discoveries from time to time are published but Foley's Honey and Tar doei truthfully claim to cure all cases In the early stages and always affords comfort and relief In the very worst cases.

The Omaha lodge of Elks expressed Its thanks In a happy way last night to the friends who had assisted In ttfe minstrel show, an occasion arranged for the lodge's benefit a short time ago. The rooms in the Ware block were tastefully decorated nd an Informal reception, with Inter spersed vaudeville numbers and fancy dances by the children, occupied the even ing. The younger participants wore for the most part the costumes which had distinguished them In the minstrel show, lending a dash of color to the throng. Kipllnger's band supplied the music for the dance program. The children who took large par In the previous entertain ment were the guests of honor of the evening.

OUT EARLY AFTER GARLANDS, rlirmli I'nrM Spend l,nt Miihl In April .TrUlim to lie luern of Ma- In Sonc I The May festival of the Nebraska poets. 1 so called, perhaps, because It was held In April, wa3 celebrated last night In the I Hirst Congregational church under the aus- pices of thy Omaha Equality club. A , great many poems written by Nebraskans, j or persons while passing through Nebraska. , were read, mostly by proxy. The writers, ! with a few exceptions, seemed to lack the I courage of their conceptions, so employed several comely young women with a knack for elocution to recite their effusions, them selves content with being present In spirit. The festival was not particularly well at tended. The works of most Nebraska poets have been read In Omaha. It would appear from the program that the various selections were chosen, not by their authors, but by their readers, as pathos crowded humor Into an obscure corner and II tic. save what was "racy sf the soil," was given elbow room. It teemed with the rustle of corn, the bark of the coyote and the sigh of the prairie winds. For Instance, there was N- K. Grlrgs, a barpwhacker of Lincoln, wha made a modest little prairie dog "yip" and "flip" through nine stanzas that seem to be somewhat truer to meter than to zoology: I'm a merry prairie dog. Yip. yip, yip. And. like a Jolly pollywoz. Flip. flip, flip; And when I give my llttl- yip. Why. then I flip my little tall, And when I give my tall a flip. Why, then to yip I never fall; And thus I ever giyly bark, Yin. vln. vln. And ver, on my dally lark, Flip, flip, flip. "A Vision from Heraclltus" (Prof. Hall Frye of Lincoln) was beautifully rendered by Miss Mary Wallace, but there was much doubt as to the Identity of the vision. None had the hardihood to applaud at its con clusion lest he be required to explain the why and wherefore of his enthusiasm. Then there was a "Prairie Lullaby," In which William Reed Dunroy whacked the rebel stilngs of his lute to Illustrate n mother putting her baby to sleep so she can find time to get dinner for the har vest hands. This poem, which was printed on the progrnm, ended with a footnote to the elocutionist, as follows: "Let the action suggest the baby In the swing and the voice Imitate the swish of the corn leaves." What It really seemed to demand was a husky voice. Colonel A. L. Iilxby was permitted to strike a few wild-wood notes and Will Maupln to leave his mark upon fame's eternal camping ground. Carl Curtz Hahn turned the calcium upon his "Cloisters Dim," Illuminating theai to such an extent that one could almost see through them. Edwin Piper piped a sonnet, "The Wayside Pool," and Benjamin McLean had something to say about "The Water Lily," which he somewhat vainly hopes he may resemble. "Jes" Keep Yo" Flag a Flyln'," written with the red right hand of G. W. Crofts of Beatrice, seemed to be an admonition to the faint-hearted to keep up their spirits, a very appropriate refrain, as the "piece" contains forty-eight long, dreary lines. Mr Croft's poetry, however, does no harm. The best work of the evening undoubtedly was that of George C. Shedd. principal of the High school of Ashland. His "Alone," read by Miss Shirley, Is exquisitely quaint, tender and true to life. WILLIAM F. HARTE IS DEAD Orexel Hotel Manager Dlea (ram KffectH of Complicated I) I urn Re. William F. Harte, manager of the Drexcl hotel, died yesterday evening at 6 o'clock of a complication of diseases. Mr. Harte was well known in the city, having- come hero In 1SL He married Miss Mary Bola ver, daughter of a pioneer. He was Identi fied with many of Omaha's business Inter ests, In partnership with his brothers. John H. Harte, an Omaha builder, and Horace O. Harte, vice president of the Williams Shoe company. He was also a brother of A. C Harte, county commis sioner. His wife and three daughters sur vive him. G. W. WATTLES PRESIDENT I'nlou .National Ilnnk lloliln Klectlon to Fill Vacancy Caaned by Death.

Transfers There Is aa increasingly healthy feeling among real estate men In Omaha Just at this time, Since the excitement caused by the recent deals on South Sixteenth street has subsided a little, there have come to light a number of evidences of a stronger buying movement than had been noted be fore. The announcement made by The Bee on Tuesday evening that negotiations are pending for the purchase of the Young Men's Christian association building, Is one of the latest evidences of this. Although there Is yet no certainty that the building will be sold as the result of these negotia tions, the fact that a substantial business firm in the town Is seeking to obtain pos session Is a sign of life In the market. There Is also the further fact tor considera tion that the building Is wanted for the purpose of providing larger and better quarters for un existing Omaba business. It may be taken as an accepted fact that the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas Is bound to become more fully occupied by retail houses. A prominent owner of Omaha realty, speaking on this point yesterday, expressed the optnlou that nil the recent movements In Sixteenth street property are In line with whatralght naturally be ex pected, and It Is his opinion that the next year or two will see further developments of a similar character. This relates to inside property. Another evidence of a better tone has been pointed out by three or four agents within the last few weeks. This Is the increasing number of country people who are coming Into Omaha to Invest money cither lu homes or In good rental property. A prominent dealer mentioned yesterday the case of a Sarpy county farmer who has Inquired about lands adjoining South Omaba at 173 and J 100, or more, per acre. He was a thrifty German, with a little money saved up, and he was considering the advisability of putting It Into real property. Similar cases to this have been fre quently noticed, and there is a general be lief among agents that sales of various kinds of properties to such people will be of common occurrence wjthln a short time. There Is also a growing number of mis cellaneous Investors, and these, too, are more eager to buy than tbey appeared to be a little while ago. One or two agents report a slight falling off In the number of home buyers, but there are enough of these still In the market to keep business active.

PROMPTLY SENTENCED IN POLICE COURT JuilKr Crawford Impose n I'lne In Ml Separate 1'ninplnlnt. Aarent ln 1'.'U and t'ot Appeal Will lie Taken. The recent victory for C. E. Watson, state deputy labor commissioner. In the enforcement of the female labor law was won In police court Tuesday afternoon. William Wenham, manager of the Non pareil Laundry company, was found guilty rf working female employes more than sixty hours per week and fined 120 and costs on each of six seperate complaints, making s total of $120 and costs. The taking of testimony had been con cluded at a previous session of the trial and the argument of the attorneys was all that remained. Deputy County Attorney Abbott made a short argument for the state. The attorney for the defense followed at more length and raised several contentions. He insisted that the testimony showed that the girls had worked only fifty-three and three-fourths hours during the week ending February 23, the particular one In controversy, after deducting the hours they were Idle on account of breaks In the ma chinery; that the girls were compelled to work nights only In case of emergency; that a steam laundry Is not a mechanical Institution within the meaning of the statute; that Wenham was not the proper person to bring In as defendant, because he Is merely secretary of the corporation. Indue Han a Different View. Judge Crawford held a contrary view on each of the points advanced by the at torney for the defense. "The testimony not only shows that the girls worked for more than sixty hours per "week, but Mrs. Wenham herself testified that It was a common practice for them to work more than ten hours on certain days of the week. In my opinion this constitutes a violation of the statute. The question of emergency should only go to mitigate the punish ment for the offense, as the law makes no provisions for emergencies. A steam laun dry Is equipped with certain machinery and Is run by power; therefore It Is a me chanical Institution within the meaning of the statute. That the plaintiffs were not required to work at all parts of the more or less complicated machinery Is not at all material. Mr. Wenham Is certainly the proper defendant In this suit, for he testl 8ed that he was the general manager. The law Is constructed In the broadest terms and Is Intended to cover every employer and all his managing agents. "While I am not entirely In sympathy with the statute and regret that I must find the defendant guilty, there Is nothing for me to do but perform my plain duty. I will Impose the minimum penalty, a fine of $:o and costs In each of the six cases." An appeal bond was filed In each case with the Intention of taking them to' the district court, where an effort will be made to secure a speedy hearing. I i South Omaha News. The sudden termination of the city coun cil muddle Monday night and the manner In which the deal went through caused a great deal of talk on the streets yesterday and many asserted that the action was not legal. General satisfaction was expressed at the appointment and confirmation of W. B. Vansant, as his past record In the council Is clear and he Is considered a thorough business man. Clifton clung to the fight until the last, hoping that he would be named, but as he was defeated at the pri maries his name was not even submitted by Mayor Kelly. Clifton and his followers arc sore at what they call snap Judgment and Insist that the election was not on the square. Councilman Martin, who was peacefully dlspostng of a cheese sandwich at a nearby restaurant while the nominations were being made, stated yesterday that he had asked the clerk for a certified copy of the record for the purpooe of taking the matter Into court. He further stated that he bad been advised by a number of attorneys to take the step he contemplated. In his opinion there is no doubt about the courts de claring the election of Vansant and John ston Illegal. A difference of opinion exists, however. In speaking of the matter yesterday Mayor Kelly said that both appointees had been named and confirmed and that was the en; of It. He further said that only two offi- Are Larger cluding about twenty Instruments filed yes terday, amount to (623,393, which is higher than for any previous month of this year, or for any of the first four months of 1900. Tho figures for 1501, as compared with last year, up to last night, are as follows: January i m,'M $ 324.27 February 4.274 30.3IO March 3-J3,S 6UUV4 April 4J9,tS5 (C3.333 Totals .Jt.7Ji.tfti J1.033.1S6 These figures show an Increase of about $200,000 for the four months, or at the rate of well over a million a year. When it Is remembered that the great bulk of these transfers represent the sales of small properties the figures are con sidered more than satisfactory. As an agent said yesterday "We are luvlng more business In cheap homes than ever before, and this Is the best kind of busi ness. It means In the long run greater success to the agent, for he Is kept busy all the time, and It Is a better Indication of steady growth In the city, for It means that the wase-workers of Omaba are be coming home owners." I.arrer Douglas Street ale. The McCague Investment company has sold for the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company the east 22 feet of lot 121, Omaha, to John Llnder, a wholesale liquor dealer of Council Bluffs. The lot contains an old building, known as 1207 Douglas street and now occupied by the Omaha Stove Repair works. Mr. Llnder pays 115,000 for the property and it is said that he will occupy It him self. May .Moving Day. "Moving day." said a rental agent this week, "Is a movable feast in Omaha. Peo ple are commonly apt to look upon May 1 as moving day, and In some years, proba bly, It Is. In New York. If the comic papers do not misrepresent matters, this Is the day that renters commence their summer season by leaving the confined quarters In flats and apartments or tene ment houses and taking up their residence In suburban villas. In Chicago the day It a month earlier. In Omaha, March 1, April 1, May 1, and even June 1, are all spring moving days and many tenancies com mence with each of these months. Then again. It Is a common thing for tenants to move Into a house at other times than the beginning of a month and to pay rent from the day they move in. Thus It hap pens that In Omaha tenants are moving all the time from March to June, and on accouat of the mild weather of the past clals In the state, the county attorney of Douglxs county and the attorney general of Nebraska, were empowered under the existing laws to commence proceedings to oust either Vansant or Johnston. Continuing, the mayor said that he did not think there was any probability of cither of the officials mentioned taking any steps, as they were wholly disinterested and there was no question as to the legality of the confirmations. A section of the new charter says that two-thirds of the members of the council elected shall constitute a quorum. As only four members of the present council have been elected, three certainly consti tutes a quorum under the charter. Had it not been for Martin's "getaway" the dead lock might have continued Indefinitely. After the meeting Monday night both Martin and Dvorak threatened to secure an order of the court restraining the council from transacting any business as long as the appointees remained In their seats. This has been abandoned, as attorneys assert that no steps of this kind can bo taken. There was some talk yesterday of a re organization of the council, but this will hardly be undertaken, as the committees as now arranged appear to be satisfactory. DI'lHit luir City Authorities. Some question has arisen as to the au thority of the city In the collection of a saloon occupation tax this year on ac count of the passage of a new charter and the Increase In the license from JSOO to J1.000 a year It Is asserted by some that with the passage of the new charter the old occupation tax ordinance, which be came a law in 1S33, became void. Even if It did a section of the new charter makes provision for an occupation tax. The sec tion Is No. t3 and Is as follows: "The mayor and council shall have power to raise revenue by lcvlng and collecting a license tax on any occupation or business within the limits of the city and regulate the same by ordinance. All such taxes shall be uniform In respect to the class upon which they are Imposed." It Is asserted by city officials that this section disposes of the question. The old ordinance will, therefore, remain In force. Council Committer, When the city council reorganized after the recent spring election committees were appointed, spaces being left vacant for the appointees from the Fifth and Sixth wards. Now that the appointments have been made and confirmed tho committees will stand as follows: . Finance and Claims Martin. Dvorak, Johnston. Judiciary Dvorak. Martin, Vansant. Streets. Alleys.

Several times within the last few years the city authorities have undertaken to cause the removal of squatters from streats and alleys and It is understood that an other attempt will soon be made. Com plaints are coming In about the squatters In the vicinity of Twenty-ninth and H streets. It Is asserted by property owners that these squatters are occupying city ground and hone In time to gain possession by ten years of unmolested occupancy. Fur ther, residents say that the squatters are a nuisance and do not always conduct them selves In the manner becoming good citizens. On Company Permits. City Engineer Beal Issued permits to Manager W. E. Davis or the Omaha Gas company to lay mains on the following streets: On Twenty-eighth1 street, from D to E streets; on E street, from Twenty seventh to Twenty-eighth streets, and on F street, from Twenty-third to Twenty fourth streets. PJpe is arriving every few days and as fast as tho material Is de livered the mains will be extended to all parts of the city. l'rwr Pnld In. Only two or three liquor dealers paid Ihe license money Into the city treasury yes terday for the reason that It was hoped ihat the council would hold a special meet ing for the purpose of repealing the occu pation tax law. As there seems to be no prospect of this ordinance being repealed, the chances are that, a majority of saloon keepers will pay up today. Thomas Maple, Blrkbeck, III., writes: "I had a very bad case of kidney trouble and ray back pained me so I could not straighten up. The doctor's treatment did me no good. Saw FoUy's Kidney Cure advertised and took one bottle which cured me and I have not been affected since. I gladly recommend this remedy." Omaha Realty Market is Gaining Strength. winter there was also considerable shitting about during January and February." So the fact is that May I Is this year, perhaps, less of a moving day than usual. There are scores of families wanting to get Into larger or nicer houses than they now occupy, but the lists of vacant bouses shdwn by the various rental agents do not offer what they desire. There probably never was a May day when It was so diffi cult for a tenant to obtain a really desir able dwelling as it Is this year. Very frequently during the last few weeks houses have been rented to new tenants before they have become vacant. One May-moving incident that offers a significant Indication of existing conditions is given by G. G. Wallace. A woman wanted to get possession by Muy 1 of a house which was In Mr. Wallace's charge. The only obstacle In the way lay In the prospective sale of the house. Last Satur day the sale was consummated and the woman could not rent It. Then It tran spired that, a second family was waiting to move Into the house she was preparing to vacate, and that three other families were each In line, making a chain of five families moving from housr to house and the whole chain blocked by the sale of one. Toda' KxchniiRr Mertlag, Today's meeting of the Real Estate ex change will be a busy one. There U a little business that was crowded out last week, Including the report of the committee to which was referred the resolution bar ring customers from a division of commis sion, and the appraisement of a Sixteenth street lot. Judge Baxter and C. J. French are expected to give brief addresses to the members and at 1:20 a six-room house and lot are to be offered at auction. The committee's report on curbstones recommends Indefinite postponement of the resolution. The lot on which an appraisement Is asked by the Payne-Knox company has an east frontage of forty-four feet on Sixteenth street and Is thirty-three feet deep, on the corner of the alley north of Cass street. In order to allow more time for the two speakers who are to be guests of the ex change the auction Is timed for 1:20, ten minutes later than the customary time. The house to be offered for sale Is situated at 11(5 Cuming street. It Is of six rooms, with modern plumbing, and is described ai thoroughly desirable for any small family seeking a home. It Is to be sold entirely without reserve, subject to a mortgage of about J1.W9. CALLAHAN COMES UP AGAIN Hit Demand fir ImmtdiaU Rtlitie ii to Bt Hurt! Tomorrow. STATEMENT OF DEFENDANT'S ATTORNEY Unexpected Verdict In the Cnllithiui Case Attract Attention from All Part of the Cnutilrj luiltic Baker's Telegram. Judge Baker will this morning hear the plea In bar for the release of James Callahan. It will be asserted that Callahan has once had his liberty put in Jeopardy by standing trial for the same of fense charged against him in the two In formations upon which he is now being held. "I guess that the court vrllt bold Callahn on tho false Imprisonment information," said J. M. Macfarland, "but I don't believe they can make the grand larceny chars stick. In the trial that has Just ended It was within tbe law for the Jury to find the defendant guilty of larceny, although he was tried for robbery. Larceny Is a lesicr degree of stealing. Just as manslaughter Is a lesser degree of homicide. So Callahan was tried for larceny Just as much as he was tried for robbery. I think he was also on trial for the act alleged In the Informa tion specifying false imprisonment, but tho court may not look at It as I do." ANOTHER OFFER TO CUDAHY Bandit Propose to Compromise liy ItetnrnlnK Part of the Bun no in to lllni. After a hiatus of something more than two months the ready letter writer In the Cudahy kknaplng cese has again "got busy," and Is again engaged In trying to open negotiations with the millionaire packer looking to the withdrawal of -e-wards and the calling off of sleuths. Nearly two weeks ago Mr. Cudahy received his last communication from the bandits or their agents. It w-as mailed at Ulgtn, 111., and said In effect that If Mr. Cudahy would cancel his offer of $25,000 reward for "he arrest and conviction of the men who kid naped his son they would return to him $21,000 of the ransom money. After mailing the letter at lgin the would-be arbitrator went at once to Chi cago, vhere be had a consultation with Michael Cudahy, E. A. Cudahy's brother, and with him arranged to have the latter come to Chicago that they might discuss the matter more satisfactorily than could be done by mall Ten days ago, In response to a telegram from his brother, E. A. Cudahy went to Chicago and met the agent of the abductors. "Of course my brother had previously satisfied himself that the man from Elgin was not an Imposter," said Mr. Cudahy yes terday, "and before I started I had re ceived the agent's latter, so bad a pretty clear understanding of the proposition he was to make. I hadn't the slightest Inten tion of acceding to his terms, but I went, thinking that perhaps I would be able to pick up some Information that would aid the detectives in their search for the guilty men. "I am bound by a promise not to reveal tho details of the proposition he made to me. I can say only In a general way that he promised to return $21,000 of the ransom money If I would withdraw the reward and drop the case. I am also restrained by my promise to him not to give the newspapers the letter he mailed at Elgin. I couldn't do that, however, even It I wanted to, as I turned It over to the super intendent of the Plnkerton Detective agency at Chicago. "Of course I refused absolutely to con sider the proposition he made me, or any other proposition that would Involve my abandoning tills case. The reward I origi nally offered still stands and will continue to stand, and I shall continue to give my best assistance to those who are seeking to bring the guilty men to Justtce. My own self-respect demands this as well as my duty to the community at large. As tho Chicago conference between Mr. Cudahy and the kidnapers' agent ante dated the acquittal of Callahan, the latter event, of course, had no effect upon the bandit's proposition. It Is possible now that In the light of Callahan's seeming Im munity the bandits are no longer willing to compromise the case, but If this is true its correspondence bureau has not as yet announced the fact.
