WGMTEH DEPOT lBtk WEBSIEB
Now for a comparatively quiet . Fourth
of July. The city council at Ita special
aesalon laat night voted unanimously for
the passage of the ordinance prohibiting
the sale and . explosion of giant firecrack
ers, dynamite caps, torpedoea, etc., ana
the discharging of rifles, shotguns, re
volvers and all "toy" pistols except those
designed to fire flat paper caps. The pro
visions of the ordinance and the penalties
for violating same have already been published-
The council alao heard from Poundmastor
Frank McRaven his defense of the charges
made against him that li and his deputlea
were in the habit of taking cattle and
horses staked on private property and Im
pounding them In order to derive fees for
same. Mcllavcn denied that the chargea
had any foundation ancf that all the horse
and cattle which had been Impounded by
hlnieelf and deputies had been found on
the public eldewulke or streeta. lie ex
plained that people were In the habit of ,
staking out their cow and horses on their
lots and poaturea with ropea of sufficient
length to allow the animals to stray Into
the streeta. He defended his deputies and
stated that he had given them strict In
structions not to Interfere with any cattle
or horses except auch aa they found on
the atreets and, furthermore, he had In
atructed them not to aelse any untagged
dogs found with children or Women, be
cauae.to do so would "embarrass the chil
dren or women more or less." "I want the
full confidence of thla honorable body,"
said McRaven, "but the people should un
derstand that It la my duty to take up all
cows I find violating the city ordlnancea."
He alao asked the council to give him more
"protection," ns since Justice Field had
bound him over to the grand Jury on the
charge of stealing Dairyman Mlller f cows
the people were Inclined to dlsre-rird his
authority and treat him aa If he possessed
none.
M. E. Sutton appeared In person to make
complaint against McRaven, but his own
atatement showed that the horse which
the poundmaster was charged with taking
off a private lot had been tethered so. that
It could stray Into the roadway. The coun
cil at the conclusion of the hearing de
cided to abide by its former orders that
all cattle and horses found straying on the
rjubllc sidewalks and thoroughfares be
imnnnniiM hut referred tne cnargen
against McRaven to the Judiciary commit
tee and the city solicitor for Investigation.
Northwestern Can Raise Tracka".
Mayor Macrae Informed the council of
the intention of ' the Northwestern rail
road to raise Its bridges over Indian creek
at Eleventh street, provided the city Would
consent to the tracks across Broadway
being ralstd. The committee on strct-ts
and; alleys waa Instructed to notify the
railroad that this consent wouiu uo
provided the railroad would ralae Its bridges
nd do what else would oe necessary. i
tne same time It waa decided that the city
engineer sould take levels on Broadway
between Ninth street and the Illinois Cen
tral tracks with a view of ascertaining how
much the grade could be raised by relaying
the granite block paving.
A communication- from- v, J. wnute- ,
more, chief engineer of the Milwaukee rail
road, was read, in which Mr. Whlttemore
stated that the company was ready to
contribute $1,000 a bridge toward the ex
pense of dredging Indian creek, but it did
not see the necesalty of raising Its brldgua
after the Improvement of the creek as con
templated. It was decided to lay the mat
ter again before Mr. Whlttemore with fur- j
ther explanations as to what the other rail
roads had consented to. do.
The matter of rescinding the action cf
the council at Its previous meeting In can
celling the contract for the auto combina
tion street sweeper and sprinkler was
brought up, but nothing was done. Alder
man Maloney stood for cancelling the con
tract and stated that he would file a pro
test If "the former action was rescinded.
Alderman Crlppen, chairman of the com
mittee on fire and light, stated that the
Are department waa In sore need, of 1.000
feet of hose and that he had been Informed
that If It could be purchaaed before July 1
the city could eave 8100, as the price at
that date would Jump from 90 cents to w
a foot. In order to purchase the hose be
fore that date It was stated It would be
necessary to do so without advertising for
bids, and to this several of the aldermen
were opposed. After considerable discus
sion the matter waa referred to the com
mittee on fire and light to report on at a
special meeting to be called before the reg
ular session on July 8.

ness. Officer Ringer Is to bo tried on the
charge of neglect of duty. Aside from tho

Chairman Masson of the Police board re
marked Monday afternoon to a Bee re
porter that something ought to be done
at once to provide the city with a patrol
wagon. The long distances officers are
compelled to bring prisoners leaves beats
unprotected for an hour - or two. Only
twelve patrolmen are ' on duty, six day
and six nights. The balance of the force
of seventeen 'is. made up of a day an3
night Jailor, a detective and two captains.
The- chief is not coufited In' this roll. In
talking of the polios department, Mr. Mas
son said: We needa patrol wagon and
some - more men. Jus4- what the council
will do about suggestions of this kind
remains to be seen, but every cltlsen
knows that more patrolmen are needed.
and the necessity for a patrol wagon Is
apparent every day. In case the Are de
partment headquarters Is built at Twenty-
fifth and L streets the wagon could be
kept there. In order to properly protect
the cltisens a half dosen more men and a
patrol wagon are needed."

the worn out pavement on Twenty-fourth

The Omaha Ministerial union held Ita lost
meeting of the season at the Young Men's
Christian association rooms Monday morn
ing. As there was nothing of vital Inter
est to be considered by the ministers, th
gathering partook of a sort of leave-taking
before the men of the cloth separate
for their annual Vacations. In the absence of
Rev. Oeorga Van Winkle, who waa to have
read a taper on "Ood'S Out of Doors," the
various members present discussed the aub
Ject In an Informal manner.
A committee of Reva. J. Randolph Bmlth,
B. F. Felltnan and J. II. Spencer waa ap
pointed to confer with tha poalofftce author
ities with a view to changing tha hour of
Sunday mall delivery at the main and sub
station offices from 12 to 1 to 9 to 10, th
purpose being to give the carriers and
clerks an opportunity to attend church.
Rev.'J. E. Hummon, D. D, pastor of the
Kountxe Memorial church, resigned as one
of the fraternal delegates to the Central
Labor union. Rev. II. C. Herring, D. D.,
was elected to succeed Dr. Hummon. A
resolution was passed by the ministers
congratulating the Young Men's Christian
association and the Young Women's Chris
tian association upon fhe hopeful outlook
for new and commodious buildings. Th
union alao congratulated Rev. J. H. Rey
nold, pastor of the Caati-llar Street Pres
byterian church, upon receiving a "doc
tor of divinity" from the Cos college of
Cedar Rapida, la., and Rev. A. W. Clark
upon receiving the degree of doctor of
philosophy from the University of Ne
braska. The next meeting of the Ministerial union
will be held on the third Monday of September.
MERELY A QUESTION OF LAW
Commercial Colleges In Omaha Back
Claim to Tax Exemption by
Conrt Decision.
"People are likely to get a wrong Idea
from the newspaper reports of the position
of the commercial colleges 'before the tax
assessor," says II. B. Buyles of the Boyle
college. "It Is purely a question whether
or not the constitution exempts our prop
erty from taxation because it Is used ex
clusively for educational purposes. There
have been repeated decisions by the su
preme court that this property is not tax
able. The medical colleges carried It up
once and none of them pay taxes. The
last decision was rendered In 1901 by Chief
Justice Sullivan In the case of Watson
against Cowles a case In which a commer
cial college occupying leased quarters was
Involved and held that the property was
not taxable. So long as the constitution
remains unchanged and private school prop
erty all over the state Is untaxed, we think
we have a right to claim the same exemp
tion. I presume we will have to take it up
again by appeal, but with so many deci
sions already renedered we ought not to be
compelled to do so."
liood Word from Colonel llogeland.
OMAHA. Juna . 1 -?o the Editor of
th Re: I have been visiting your city
annually for over twenty year, agitating
reforms social and moral among youths.
Including the newsboy. Borne ten years
ago I began on the adoption of the curfew
and two other law for the benefit of
youth. One of these to procure tha Im
prisoning the youths apart from old crim
inals, and the third one requiring the offi
cials to apprehend and reatore to their
home all tramping boys and runaway
girls. Tha curfew ordinance, however,
seemed more urgent than the others. In
fact I found that if the curfew waa en
forced there would be less demand for the
other two lawa, hence I concentrated my
effort on the former. Blnce my arrival
hern three week ago I have examined
very carefully into the enforcement of tha
curfew ordinance In Omaha, Bouth Omaha
and Cnun'-ll Bluffa. and from the teetlmony
both of the offlclala and business men dud
that the curfew ordinance I veTy fully
enforfed. In fact every one with whom
I conferred commended It. I noticed on my
arrival In tho city a decided Improvement
socially and morally among youths gen
erally. Including the newsboys, over what
It waa one year ago. I And your probation
court to be In good hands. 1 have only
one suggest Ion to make In the manage
ment of all probation courts. It Is that
thrt trial of boy and girl offenders be made
a private aa possible none present ex
cept the Judge, probation officer and par
ents, nd awltnessea admitted only one at
a time. Judges In many of the cities of tha
country have stated that too much publicity
tends to make heroea out of these Juvenile
dellnqjent. and I think It la the Judgment
of police official of long standing that thla
Is the proper view to be taken In the case
of young crlmlnala. I am greatly Indebted
to pastor of some of your churches for
politeness In opening their pulpits for my
addresses on curfew; also to the suditor
of the clerical department of the I'nlon
Pacific railroad for an Invitation to address
several hundred clerks In the Overland
office. The press of the three cities have
vied with each other In expression of
commendation for curfew. I must not
omit a word of encouragement or the news
boys; their good behavior and expressions
of appreciation for Bilk Ribbon Day as In
other cities, has been a source of pleasure
and encouragement to me.
