much as the present ordinance covering the

POSSIBLE . KEY TO MYSTERIOUS THEFTS
Poultry Yard la KataMlahed at
City Jail aad Fowls Await
Identification by Their
Ovrnere.
The police authorities believe the mys
tery surrounding the numerous raids re
cently made on Omaha's suburban chicken
houses has been cleared up.
Hugh Ward, alias "Kid" Ward, a prlie
fighter of some local reputation, and James
oung are booked at police headquarters
suspicious characters, pending specific
harges which probably will be filed In po
lice court against the men Wednesday
morning. The arrests were made by Cap
tain Hase and Sergeant Havey.
While returning home from police head
quarters at 4:12 Tuesday morning the cap
tain and sergeant stopped Ward and Young
at Twentieth and Grace streets and in
quired as to the contents of several sacks
oticed In the back of a wagon occupied
by the men. The sacks were found to
contain fifty chickens of various breeds.
Captain Hase took charge of the wagon
and drove Ward to the city Jail, while
Sergeant Havey took Young with him In
the captain's buggy. While on the way
owntown the sergeant noticed Young
reach to his hip pocket, so the sergeant
mado a reach for the pocket himself and
extracted a loaded revolver. The chickens
are being hold at tho police station for
Identification. They ha-e not yet been
clultned.
Fowls Are Identified.
On searching Young a Mu or sale for 111
chickens, sold Monday to a local commis-
lon firm, was found. Detectives recovered
the chickens, which have been Identified
by William Snyder, 18.11 North Twenty-first
-street; John Eugun, lxuS North Twenty-first
treat; Mrs. Barrett, 1S12 North Twenty-
first street, and W. J. Noftnan, 2318 Charles
street, as having been takon during the
last few days.
The bill of sale found on Toung shows
the gross weight of Monday's sale to have
been 1,0W pounds. A member of the com
mission Arm receiving that consignment is
quoted as saying tho Arm has been buying
poultry from Ward and Young for nearly
three months, the men calling at the com
mission house- at 5:30 in the morning and
transacting their business under the name
of "Craig of Council Bluffs." The authori
ties believe the men were driving In to the
commission house Tuesday morning when
pprchended.
Complaints of stolen chickens have been
numerous at police headquarters during the
last few months and particularly during
the last 'few week.1 have the reports been
frequent. The police officials think not all
the losses hnve been reported at that, as
where but a few chickens have been taken
the owners ma have attributed the losses
to hungry animals. .
Four Hundred Dollars I.oaa.
Detectives now working on the case Have
figured $400 as a conseVvative estimate of
the recent losses sustained by the chicken
raisers on the outskirts of the city. Parties
losing chickens Monday night are requested
to call at police headquarters and look over
the assortment of feathered stock now be-
ig held for Identification.
In one of the coops found in the wagon
used by Ward and Young was found a
sulpher candle, such as is used for fumi
gating purposes. One of the older rtien of
Captain Dunn's detective force says it is
not unusual for chicken thieves to use
these candles to stuplfy the chickens and
thus make the work of capture easier be
sides lessening the chances of being caught
In tho act.
Ward and Young gave the addresti of 924
Douglas. Ward wo 3 one of the partici
pants In a prize fight pulled off in "No
Man's land" on Cut Off lake two weeks
go. "Haitch" Smith was his opponent.
Ward denies being Implicated In the
chicken thefts and claims to have been
Just riding with Young when the police
officers arrested them.
FULL CHURCH CHOIR RESIGNS
All Sincere at Flrat Mrthodlat Leave
with Mr. and ' Mra. Ben
Stanley.
Unless other arrangements are made at
once, there will be no music at First Meth
odist church Sunday, aa Mr. and Mrs, Ben
Stanley, as organist and soloist, respect
ively, and the entire choir have tendered
their resignations, which will go Into effect
at once.
This action la the culmination of feeling
that has existed for some time.
Mr. Stanley accepted the position as or
ganist and director at a salary of S1.200,
with assurance that his original demand of
11,600 aoon would be met. This, however,
has not been met, and as the two yeara
have expired, Mr. Stanley resigned.
The resignation of the choir Is due to the
unanimous feeling of the choir members
that Mr. Stanley has not been fairly used
by the pastor and others. . It Is cuitomary
for the music committee to meet on Sun
day, but last week Mr. Smith called I
meeting at the Commercial club, and i
notice was sent to Mr. Stanley that his two
years' contract had expired. The entire
committee was not present at the meeting
and It la said several of them, those who
supported the organist, were not notified
of the meeting. It waa thla that prompted
the choir to resign. It had been expected
by the music committee. It is said, that
Mr. and Mra. Stanley would remain until
August, but upon the receipt of the an
nouncement of the committee they declined
to do so.

KILLED BY FLYING TROLLEY
Jallas Kreager Han Down While at
f Work on the Track to
East Omaha.
Julius Kreuger, living at Klghth and Av
enue Q In Council Bluffs, was struck and
fatally Injured by a Courtland Beach car
at Ninth and Locust streets at 4:15 yester
day afternoon. His right leg was crushed
between the ankle and the knee and his
skull Is believed to hnve been fractured.
He was taken to the Wise Memorial hos
pital In an unconscious condition and suc
cumbed to his Injuries In a short time.
Kreuger was working with a gang of men
putting in new tie on the track, and his
young son, Eric Kreuger, witnessed the
accident. Being deaf he did not hear the
car approaching or the warning bell, but
stepped on the trnck directly In front of
tt and was In the act of stooping to pull
out a tls when he Was struck. Half
dragged and half carried on the fender, he
was. borne a distance of fifty feet befo.-e
the car could be stopped.
When his fellow workmen ran to his as
sistance they found him bruised and bleed
ing and covered with dust. The bone In
his right leg was splintered and his face
was a mass of bruises. From the hospital
he was taken to the coroner's and his fam
ily notified. -
The number of the car was Bo5, and Its
crew were Motorman C. Anderson and
Conductor Sam Maroskl. They said that
they thought that Kreuger had ample warn
ing of the approach of the car, and had It
not been for the fact that he was deaf he
would not have been struck. While the
car wns running fast, they assert that they
could not reckon upon the Inability of
Kreuger to hear it coming.
Kreuger was 60 years of age. He came
to this country from Germany twenty
years ago.
A pathetic Incident of his case Is fur
nished by the absence of his eldest eon,
Frank Kreuger, In Chicago, whither he
went on the big excursion Inst Saturday.
His stopping place In the city la not known
and there Is no way In which he can be
Informed of his father's death.

Announcements of the Theaters.
This afternoon and evening at the Boyd
theater the Ferris. Stock company will give
the closing performance of "DuBarry,"
the historical drama that has been making
such a furore. This play tells a very ro
mantic story in a powerful way, and haa
proven a great success. It Is superbly
mounted and richly dressed, and Is alto
gether one of the moat pleasing produc
tlons ever made by this company. On
Thursday -evening the bill will be changed
to "Moths of Society," a drama of real
life.
, This afternoon "Pinafore" will be the of
fering of the Pollard Lilliputian Opera
company at the Krug theater. Tonight "A
Runaway Girl" will be the attraction. This
clever organisation of children have fallen
Into Immediate favor here aa they have
everywhere that they have performed. The
Pollard company has been on the road for,
several seasons playing repertoire of the
most popular comic operas and the com
pany which is now playing at the Krug
theater is the same aggregation that has
toured the world playing these popular
operas aad has come Into auch Immense
popularity to the theater going public. The
matinee this afternoon promises to be
record breaker and Manager Breed advises
that all who would secure good seats
should have them reserved In advance. Frl
day night "The Geisha" will be the at
traction and then the company closes
with "A Gaiety Oirl," which wtll be the
offering for Saturday matinee and night.
If the tremendous seat sale for the
Creche benefit performance of that entran
cing fairyland fantasy Is an indication,
"Enchantment," which will appear at the
Auditorium Thursday, Friday and Satur
day, should prove one of the most thorough
financial successes ever accorded any
charitable undertaking in the city. As an
artistic production it is safe to say that
"Enchantment" will prove thoroughly good,
as Mr. Owens and his band of 1.000 embryo
actors are rehearsing dally and seem to be
accomplishing a great deal toward perfection.

OMAHA NUT ON THE CUT OFF
Oats City Apparently Ignored bj Hill in
Building Sew Boad.
COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSES MATTER
Contract! Let to Local Firms Indi
cate that Course of Line
Will Kot Take In
Thla City.
Has James J. Hill arunrarlly decided to
lgnoro Omaha's claims regarding the route
of the Great Northern cut oft? is a ques
tion that knocks with considerable force
at the door of local business nirn's minds.
From contracts let to Omaha firms for
construction of part of this road it Is
feared Hill is going to "pass up" Omaha,
despite the apparently hopeful negotiations
conducted between the Omaha commercial
bodies and Darius Miller, first vice presi
dent for Hill, at Chicago.
We hafe received no further word from
Mr. Miller," was all Secretary McVann of
the Commercial club would say Tuesday
afternoon when asked about the matter
from the club's standpoint.
H. K. Burket said the letting of con
tracts by the Great Northern had been dis
cussed at the meeting of the executive
committee of the Commercial club.
'The club Is not through with the matter
yet," he added. "There promises to be
Bome vigorous action taken soon. I for one
am ready to fight the Great Northern."
Contracts Show Rout.
Word haa1 been received that the Great
Northern has decided to build its cut off
direct from Dakota City to Ashland via
Fremont and the contracts have been lot
for nearly all of the work.
Owens & Loveland have the contract
for the first ten miles north from Ashland,
and Callahan Bros, and Phelan & Shirley
have secured contracts for the construc
tion of thirty miles of work on the Great
Northern cut off between Sioux City and
Ashland. Work will be begun at once,
starting at Fremont, Sioux City and Ash
land, and the contracts call for the com
pletion before November 1. They will use
about 600 men and 300 teams.
The road to be built Is 105 miles in length
and will run through the reservation; whero
the heaviest cuts will have to be made.
Except for this heavy work on the reser
vation, the work will be light, as there are
but two steam shovel cuts along the entire
route. Ose cut in the reservation will re
quire the removal of 200,000 yards of dirt.
From this action it appears that Omaha
Is to be slighted and the efforts of the
local commercial bodies have come to
naught. The road goes from Fremont to
Oakland and Lyons, where It crosses the
reservation.
DUNDEE CITIZENS ' COMPLAIN
Inequalities of Asaessmf at Dlacnaacd
at Mass Meeting- and a Com
mittee MameU.
At a meeting of the cltlsens of Dundee
In Dundee hall last evening, 11. C. Balrd
was elected president and 11. L. Shields
secretary.
The subject under discussion was the
assessment by the Deputy County Assessor
K. R. Hume of the property of Dundee. A
committee which had previously been ap
pointed made a report of the assessment
of the property In the village. This as
sessment was taken up by localities and
similar properties and compared. Some
of the comparisons were very unique, for
example, on Cass street west of Fiftieth
the lota on one side of the street are as
sessed at J250, and upon the other side of
the same street, at $"i00 per lot, and no
one present could see any difference In the
value. Two lots of Mr. Chapman, of which
he had been the own about two weeks
weTe assessed at J100 more than he paid for
them and he declares he paid all they
were worth. The schedule also showed
that Mr. Hume's own property assessed at
$1,600, while no one placed the value below
n!oOO and there were a number of real
estate experts present.
It 3, block 21 Is a lot which Mr. Hume
sold to Mrs. Heing, a poor washerwoman,
for J125. She built a house upon It at a
cost of and he assessed the property
it- IfiRO.
The discussion brought out the fact that
many properties worth from $5,000 to $6,000
or $7,000 and even more were assessed at
$2,500 to $3,000, and other properties that
were worth from $2,000 to $1,000 and less
were assessed at their full value and even
more, as in the case of Chapman. After
a groat deal of discussion a committee
consisting of B. L. Shields, C. W. Bowlby
and Mr. Sweeacy was appointed with power
to act to present this matter in behalf of
the property owners to the Board of
Equalization and try to get a re-assessment
If possible, but in the event that is not
possible, to get a re-adjustment of the
assessment already made.
In a pinch, use Allen's Foot-Ease.

TREATY QUIETS DOMINICANS
President Rooierelt's Plan Has Salutary
Effect on Banto Domingo, Bays Dawson.
MINISTER IN OMAHA ON BUSINESS
Asserts If ftennte Dora Not Conors
Chief EitrsllTc's Policy Revo
lution Will Become-
More Serloaa.
Thomas C. Dawson, United States Min
ister of Santo Domingo and accounted one
of President Hoosevelt's right-hand men
in carrying out the administration'! policy
relative to the weak Central nnd South
American republlcb, was In Omaha Tuesday
to attend to some business matters, Includ
ing the payment of taxes on some Omaha
real estate which hp owns.
"Things were very quiet when I left,"
said Minister Dawson. "In the belief that
tho proposed treaty with the United
States would be ratified by the senate,
schemes of the revolutionists were aban
doned and a period of commercial pros
perity and Industry set In. The treaty, as
you know, would virtually make tho
United Btateai the receiver of the Domini
can republic revenues, including customs,
to be collected by a commission to be ap
pointed by the president of this country,
which commission would also adjust and
settle the claims of foreign governments
against Santo Domingo, Forty-five per
cent of the revenues would be paid over to
the government for its support and 65 per
cent to creditors until the claims are paid
off. These claims are large and I think will
have to bo scaled some before they are
settled.
"Should this treaty not be ratified by tho
United States senate the present orderly
state of affairs In Santo Domingo will not
continue, but the generally demoralized
conditions of the country will be resumed.
With the hand of this country taken away
from the management revolutions
will break out, foreign countriea
will step In and occupy various mortgaged
ports and customs houses and this occupa
tion will amount to permanent occupation,
owing to the size of the claims and the
paucity of the revenues.
"The United States must either make the
treaty or Santo Domingo will fall Into the
hands of feoelgn powers and. In short, will
go from bad to worse so far as Its own
prosperity and progress Is concerned."

day afternoon brought to the county Jail
Manley Hlghtshoe, who is to he examined
as to his sanity. He had been acting
violently at his home, 5313 Florence boule
vard, and the deputies went after him
armed with shotguns, as It was under
stood that Hlghtshoe was armed and des
perate. The deputies found him asleep
and brought him to Jail with but little
trouble.
EIGHT DAYS TO PAY TAXES
Short Time Left Before City
Impose Pcnaltyi. of Ona
Per Cent.
-Hill
Only eight days remain for the payment
of city taxes before the penalty of 1 per
cent a month la Imposed, and City Treas
urer He'nnlngs would like to have the at
tenllon of the public called to this fact.
For some reason the accroment of current
taxes has been rather slow this year and
about $750,000 due the city before July 1 la
still outstanding. It Is presumed taxpayers
are holding off until the last days to get
the full use of their money, but a rush oa
the last day may result In a large number
losing out when the doors are closed ansl
the clerks refuse to take any more mona
until the next day.
