FOR TIIE SPS1SC CLEAN-UP
tret Commlwioner Hummell Makes Tonr
and Findi Mnoh Work Neoet'ary.
APPEALS TO ALL RESIDENTS TO HELP
Says Winter Has Left Great Deal of
Refuse Scattered that Mast Be
Disposed of Before
Warm Weather.
"If each householder and business man
would take the proper care of his back
yard his ash heap and his garbage boxes,
Omaha would be the cleanest of clean
cities," says Street Commissioner Hummell,
who Is Just starting a force of men to work
on the annual spring clean-up. The situa
tion has discouraging features, however,
and he Is unable to plan so as to make the
town free from piles and dabs of waste
tuff with the amount of money at the
command of the Board of Public Works
unless the clttsens help as Individuals.
"Most of the litter on the street." he
states, '"oomes from back yards and dump
ing grounds on lots all over town. Every
wind raises the paper and scatters It over
the paring and sidewalks and every rain
washes refuse, tin cans, ashes and odds
and ends of every description down the
alleys and onto the streets. No matter
how vigilant the street cleaners are they
cannot prevent these things, and they have
no means of making a resident keep psper
out of his yard or anything else he may
choose to put there, provided It is not di
rectly unsanitary.
"Persons downtown use little or no care
trying to keep the city clean. On Sunday
mornings newspapers are scattered to the
four winds and two men are kept busy all
that day doing nothing but picking up
castaway newspapers In the business dis
trict. Bo far as this department has as
certained the number of business men or
families who make an earnest, honest
effort to keep cast-off stuff out of the al
leys and streets are few and far between.
Vnleas oltlsens generally co-operate It Is
Impossible for us to have a city that will
be pleasant to look at and which will ex
cite comment as a clean city.
"Alleys, back yards and vacant lots all
over town are In shocking condition after
the winter, I learned from my Inspection,"
aid Mr. Hummel. "Behind billboard stands
were found veritable dumping grounds
where ashes and debris formed small hil
locks and refuse of every description was
scattered about. In other places not even
billboards screened the unsightly messes
and right In the retail district they ap
peared to have flourished without any re
straint whatever.
"Alleys that have Just been cleaned down
town are beginning to show the effects of
carelessness again. After repeated efforts
the street cleaning department has Induced
a few large business houses to observe the
regulations with greater care, but few of
them appear to rare.
"Throughout the residence districts the
condition Is worse than downtown. If any
thing. All of It Is due partly to the fact
that Omaha has no definite way for collect
ing and disposing of garbage, ashes and
other waste matter and for some years the
problem has been allowed to govern Itself,
with the result that every few blocks has
Ita own private dumping ground and every
other back yard fills ths same capacity as
well, generally encroaching on the alley
space. Persons are required to clean up
only when complaint Is made sgalnst them
by neighbors or other Interested persona"

GET IDEAS FOR NEW BUILDING
President Carpenter and Secretary
Willis of Y. M. C. A. Back
from the Fast.
President I. W. Carpenter, General Secre
tary p. Ifc Willis of the Omaha Young
Men's Christian association have returned
from the east, where they went a week ago
to look ovw Kf association building In
Chicago, Buffalo, Scranton, Philadelphia
and Washington, with a view of securing
Ideas to be Incorporated In the construction
of the new Omaha sjwociatlon building.
Speaking of his trip, Mr. Willis said:
"Mr. Carpenter and myself studied care
fully the various conditions obtaining In
the cities visited and took notes of the as
sociation buildings we Inspected. The build
ing committees offered us every assistance,
and I am sure we gathered many Ideas that
will be helpful In formulating plans for our
new building. I am making a detailed re
port of our trip and will submit a report at
the next meeting of the board of directors,
which will be Tuesday evening.
"The Buffalo and Scranton buildings are
the most successful on the continent,"
added Secretary Willis. "The Buffalo struc
ture Is ten stories high and la exclusively
an association building. The Scranton
building la a more imposing structure then
the Buffalo building. We visited the Penn
sylvania Railroad association at West Phil
adelphia. This Is strictly a railroad asso
ciation with 2.500 members and the largest
of Its kind In the world. There are fifteen
branch associations In Philadelphia proper.
"We received many Ideas along the) line
of construction as well as management,
many of which Ideas will no doubt be used
to advantage here. We are well pleased
with the result of our trip and feel we have
a better Idea of the kind of an association
building Omaha ought to have. We surely
should not have anything less than Scran
ton has, but of course could not expect
quite as pretentious a structure as that of
Buffalo."
Aaked regarding the site for the new
Omaha building. Mr. Willis said: "There Is
no change in the site proposition. As soon
as the plans for the new building are for
mulated the alte will take care of Itself."
YOUTHFUL LOVERS SEPARATED

vented from Marrying and
Latter is Imprisoned.
Mary Miller does not want to go to the
House of the Good Shepherd, and her con
sort, Arthur Orobe. has certain scruples
sgalnst being sent to ths county Jail on a
vagrancy charge for thirty days.
This fair Imogens and her Alonso the
brave are 17 and 18 years of age, respect
ively, and were arrested Tuesday afternoon
on a charge of living together without go
ing through the usual formality of being
married. It la said that the boy has been
following the life of a vagrant and that the
girl has been giving him spending money.
Mrs. Orobe sent the following note to the
police station Tuesday evening: "If my son
Arthur chooses to get married he has my
consent. Mrs. Amelia Orobe."
But ss the law forbids the marriage of
vagrants the boy has been sent to the
county Jail for thirty daya, while the girl
has been placed In the House of the Oood
Shepherd.
While kept In the matron's department at
the police station the young couple took
their Incarceration much to heart The girl
looked askance at the meitls offered her and
would sit at a table and, with a faraway
look, write Utile billet doux to her Romeo.
She told the matron that she was going to
marry the boy sooner or later and that

COUNCIL ARBITER OF ITS OWN AFFAIRS
Injunction Is Dissolved and Building
laspeetor Falls to Oet Exposed
from Faring the Board
of Inquiry.
Judges Troup and Redlrk of the district
court refuse to help Building Inspector
Wlthnell evade testifying before the council
committee appointed to Investigate the
charges sgalnst him snd Comptroller Ix
beck as members of the Board of Public
works relating to the paving specifications
and the letting of sewer contracts. The
committee may hold secret meetings and
command Wlthnell and Lobeck to testify.
A decision was rendered by Judge. Troup
and concurred In by Judge Redlck yes
terday In the Wlthnell council Investi
gating committee matter that effectually
settles the methods that shall be employe!
in the further investigations of the com
mittee and sustains the position taken by
It and the city attorney that the work may
be done In any way that the committee
sees fit Incidentally, the order restraining
the work of the committee Is dissolved.
The opinion of the court as delivered was,
In substance, that the committee was the
proper body to decide In whet manner an
Investigation by It should be made, pro
vided it should be done In good faith and
that any dictation to It would practically
offset the very object for which It was
working and for which It was cre
ated. A further point which the court
advanced as making Its position In arriving
at this conclusion tenable was that no
proyerty rights were Involved !n the mat
ters being investigated: The court held:
To deprive the rounell of the right to makn
en 'nvestlgntlon of the conduct of any mu
nicipal official In any way that It sow fit
would be to defeat the purpose for which
the council Is elected and for which It
exists as the representative body of the
people. Its right of Investigation of public
affairs Is one of the objects snd privileges
of Its existence and it should not be handi
capped by the imposition of any conditions
or limitations as to the method to be em
ployed. If the council deems that secrecy
In Its sessions is essential to the test re
sults, then, the court held, there is no rea
son why the work should not be ciwrled on
behind closed doors and the report of an
investigation made in this way be made
to the main body of the council without
the knowledge of the party Investigated as
to what tho report might contain.
The paving specifications committee will
meet this morning at 10 o'clock to
continue the Investlgntlon. Just what line
the Inquiry will pursue has not been de
cided upon, since proceedings were inter
rupted, but It Is supposed Building In
spector Wlthnell will be called to the stand
first. City Attorney Wright now Is of the
opinion that the council, acting as a body,
can compel witnesses to testify or send
them to Jail.

PRISON DIRECTORS IN OMAHA
Adjoarn from Lincoln tn This City to
Meet Resident Members
of Bonrd.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
board of directors of the Nebraska Prison
association, held at Uneoln Tuesday even
ing, was adjourned to meet at 1;M p. m.
yesterday at the Young Men's Christian
association pnrlors, so us to meet the
Omsha contingent cf the directors nnd
transact miscellaneous business. Among
those who came from Lincoln to th
Omaha session were: Mayor Oeorge A.
Adams, Judge M. B. Reere, Rev. O. W.
Martin, D. D. nnd John Davis, secretary
of the Prison association.
The matters considered at the Lincoln
meeting were outlined to the Omaha mem
bers of the directory, and Victor Rose
water and Dt. Oeorge 1. Miller were
asked to address the session.
The matter of calling a general meeting
of the local directors to discuss a larger

the senior vice president.
Announcements of the Theaters.
Ths only sttractlon st the theaters this
afternoon will be the matinee at the Or
pheum, where the vaudeville bill for this
week Is scoring heavily and drawing big
audiences. Happy Jsck Gardner, with his
funny songs and makeup. Is msklng a hit,
as is also the two Bllvue, equilibrists, and
the Welson acrobatic troupe, while "The
Race Tout's Dream." presented by Myles
McCarthy, and Miss Aid Woolcott, and
'Hotel Repose," In which Wesson, Walters
and Wesson appear, are both lively, laugh
able sketches.
Isabel Irving presents "The Crisis" at
the Krug theater tonight only. Much of
the success ss a play of Mr. Winston
Churchill's dramatization of his own novel,
"The Crisis," Is due the skill with which
the author has subordinated the unimport
ant events in his novel and brought into
the proper dramatic focus the love story of
Virginia Carvel and Stephen Brlce. This
In the novel, as all readers of the remark
ibis book will remember, was of subordi
nate Interest to the huge conflict between
the north and south which Scorned before
the reader; politics, too, played Its part. In
the play one sees all these factors fully as
clearly as in the novel, but now they are
used merely to develop the love story of the
two principal characters. This Is regarded
as the very qulntescence of dramatic con
structive skill and has won for Mr. Church
ill immediate place among tho dramatists
of this country.
Next Sunday matinee and night "Are
You a Mason?" will bo the attraction at
the Boyd.
Interest Is Just now centering in the com
ing engagement of Mnrle Wainwrlght In
her revival of "Twelfth Night." Older
members of Omaha's theater patrons recall
with much pleasure tho production of this
charming comedy given by Miss Wain
wrlght and her company at the Boyd the
ater on Farnam street some fourteen years
sgo, a performance that Is treasured in
memory as one of the finest ever given.
M'ss Wainwrlght has often visited Omaha
since then, giving classic comedies, and Is
rightly accounted among the best exponents
of her art. Her engagement will be for
Monday and Tuesday evenings, with a
n-atlnee on Tuesday.

WHEN A HORSEJS IN A HOLE
F.xrltement on West Leavenworth
Street Caused by an
Accident.
A horse belonging to the Salvation nrmy
and driven by Mrs. Mary Bane fell into
a hole at Twenty-ninth avenuo and Leav
enworth street yesterday evening. Some
people In the neighborhood made an at
tempt to get the animal out, but failed.
The police station was notified nnd Patrol
Conductor Tony Vanous was tent out with
a rope to try his strength. Vanous tied
the rope around the horse's neck and said
"Git up, there." Hut the horse never
budged. Then he got to work and tugged
with might and main. The horse was com
ing when the rope broke and Vanous sat
on a mud bank, nnd a number of very
small boys took the accident for a Joke and
expressed their delight In screams of laugh
ter. Then the horse was hitched to a
street enr, but the effort proved fruitless
Vanous did a lot of telephoning, and before
long, a derrick from the water works and
two from tho fire house nt Twenty-seventh
and Leavenworth streets arrived and after
a lot of pulling and hauling and advice
from the bystanders the horse was taken
out. The hole was on account of some
plumbing work belnjg done by W. J. Cattln.
