He said that he bad beet taken to task for his attitude on the railway taction question and was cau tioned that it might imperil his chances for the congressional nomination. He said that he nad nothing to take back. "I do not be lleve in the unit system of railroad taxa tion," he continued, "but I do insist that railway property should be taxed wherever found, just as all other property is taxed. He advocated strongly that all voters should take Interest enough in the election to go to the polls on primary day and vote as free and Independent citizens and scorn to be hauled to the polls in carriages. F. W. Koetter, representative In the legis lature from Douglas county, was present and delivered, a brief address, giving an account of hla stewardship, and announced that he would be a candidate for renomlna tion to that office. J. W. Carr was tiled upon for a short talk, to which he responded. He believed that this was a republican year and ad vised that every republican voter turn out at the primaries and vote for the best men and men who were known to have decided opinions upon public and local questions, 4 SECOND WARD WILL SOT ENDORSE Candidates for Congress Mast Fight it Oat for Detestation. The Second Ward Republican club Friday night refused to endorse any Individual candidate for the nomination for congress. Each contestant will, therefore, go Into the tight for delegates to the convention with' out the strength which such backing gives and it will be a free-for-all affair at the primaries. Whoever Is successful will re ceive the support of the organization. After deciding upon this course, the club arranged for a marching branch. The meet Ing was most enthusiastic and it was de cided to have the largest marching club In the history of the organization. John Berger was selected aa captain and Messrs Graves, Kaspar and Morris, the subcom mittee, stated that arrangements had beea made to secure 150 uniforms. "That won't be enough," declared Martin Susarmnn. "We'll need twice tht num ber." Frank Kaspar attempted to have the club endorse a set of congressional convention delegates that were to go uninstr.ucted. This raised a vigorous protest and his res olution was laid on the table. This placed the club out of tho fight over the selection of a candidate, and each man seeking the nomination was left to shift for himself at the primaries. At the meeting newly elected President Ed Schoencraft and Becrefary Corliss F. Hopper took their places for the first time. Tho former appointed the following execu tive committee: Judge Troup, chairman; Mike Lee and F. W. Pandhauer. "This is a republican year," declared Judge Bartlett, In addressing the members of the club. "The way that people turn out at preliminary meetings during warm weather demonstrates that fact. I depre cate factional fights. They are bad. Let us get together and this fall tha party ticket will be successful from top to bottom." Short speeches were also made by How ard Kennedy, candidate for district judge; ex-Judge Slabangh, candidate for county attorney, and James C. Kinslor, who a'so seeks the nomination for the latter position. None of the congressional candidates was present. Another meeting will occur at the same place next Friday night.

Among tha- guests registered at' the Iler Grand yesterday was Richard E. Follett, vice president of the Forestry, Fishing and Game Association of America, Mr. Follett Is on his way to Portland and expects to investigate conditions in Oregon. Washing ton and Montana regarding the fishing and game interests. He expects to stop in Omaha upon his return, when ho will be ready to report the result of his investi gations. One feature of the work In which ho is interea.ed at this time is the fcrest fires now prevailing in the west. He said one of the problems which has absorbed tha at' tentlon of the association is theso Arcs. "The association and government have worked in harmony to devise means which will lead to a reduction of the confiagra tions which are yearly not only reducing vast tracts of-timber, but destroying game ana its natural naunts. s Many schemes have been under consideration from time to time, but they have been abandoned for one reason and another as unfeasible. The plan of a system of wireless-'telegraphy is one of several now under consideration and it is Intended to put a few expert' mental stations la operation to test them, The idea of these stations is to give warn ing of these fires and enable them to be located when they are In their inclplency, The news of the fire would be transmitted by a system of signals produced as a re sult of the heat The idea is by no means Impracticable and it Is not so expensive to establish may appear upon the surface. The cost of maintenance Is slight after the recording Instruments are once In place, while the saving to property would mpre than Justify the expense If after a thorough trial It Is found feasible. ' Great Losses from tho Fires. A "The loss of the timber Is not the only lose to mankind through forest fires. Game and flsh are destroyed and driven awav anrl Wve ' know the effect that is produced through the unequal distribution of moist ure. Other evil effects also play a part through the loss of thesa forests; especially is this so In their combatatlve and resisting- force to tornadoes." Mr. Follett was asked if there Is any movement on foot with regard to the stock ing of eastern streams with salmon and other western fish. "We are doing this continually. We have been very successful In stocking eastern waters with the rainbow trout and we have had some success with the steel heads, a variety of the salmon which really belongs to tha trout family. We are bringing over European fish and sending American flh abroad. Under the present methods of tak- ng care of spawn we have no difficulty In this line. One of the recent features of the work Is the introduction of fish from Oriental streams. Borne of these fish have not turned out very well owing to climatic conditions, and In some Instances, as In the case of carp, they have turned out too well. The latter effect has been due to the greater vigor Imparted to all animal life through a change of environment, and fish are aa susceptible to these changes aa live stock." changes in voting districts boundaries in the Seventh ward, has been prepared by City Engineer Rosewater and printed.

Because George Percy of. 1814 North Twenty-fourth street "had such a 'way with him" last evening on a Hanscom park car he was arrested by Patrolman Crowe and booked at the city jail with the charge of disturbing the peace on a car and as saulting an officer. Mrs. Anna Percy, his wife, who threw herself into the breach when her. husband was being taken Into custody, was arrested for Interference with an officer. Percy's little mannerism that brought him to grief was the placing of his feet across his wife's lap while riding on a car. Tho conductor told Percy that such conduct was against the peace and dig nity of the community and unpleasant to the other passengers on the car. One fat man with two suit cases, enroute to the Union station, stumbled over the acrobatic Percy and lost his temper. The conductor continued to object to Percys conduct and the latter continued to rest his feet across his wife's lap. At the junction of Sixteenth and Farnam streets Officer Crowe was called and re quested to eject Percy. During tho ejec tion process the Irate passenger put up a stiff fight wwth the policeman, whom he struck in the face with his fist. Mrs. Percy rushed to her husband's aid and took Of ficer Crowe's club away. A large crowd congregated and after some difficulty the twain was loaded into the patrol wagon. "Guilty," answered Percy when arraigned in police court this morning, charged with disturbing the pence. One eye had been blacked a'nd the skin knocked from the bridge of his nosa as the result of the scuffle with Officer Crowe. "I was drunk and not myself," was his excuse for his conduct. He was fined $35 and costs and Mrs. Percy 86 and costs. She paid the money. FOUNDERS OF PUBLIC LIBRARY 1 Book Containing; Autograph Signa tures of Original Subscribers is Placed on File.
