BOHEMIANS SEE FIGHT AHEAD 'Mm
Chicago Will Meet Opposition for
Admission Into Union.
CONVENTION OPENED LAST NIGHT
One of the Featarra of the Aaaern-blaa-e
Will Be the rnveillaa- of
the John Bosicky Sfoaa- -'
. - neat oa Saturday.
With a total of over 300 delegates from
all parts of the west on hand, the annual
convention of the Bohemian Western Fra
ternal union opened at Turner hall on
6outh Thirteenth street last evening at
8 o'clock. Mayor Dahlman delivered an
address of .welcome.
Delegates from all states west of the
Mississippi began arriving Saturday eve
ning and the majority of the number
came to Omaha Sunday. They were
met at the trains by reception committee
of the five local lodges, Bad Padacky,
Slovan, Tabor, Ellska Premyslovana and
Dobromtla. Most of the visitors are-stopping
at private Bohemian" homes.
A heated discussion is expected this
morning at 10 o'clock when the con
vention meets for the first regular day
of business. At present the scope of the
union does not include the state of Illi
nois." Chicago Bohemians are clamoring
for admission and have sent a delegation
to make a fight for membership.. .
Division of Opinion.
Thft bone of contention which it Is said
will cause much division of opinions and
votes, Is the fact that the Chicago dele
gates desire admission exclusive of the
state of Illinois. The general trend of
delegates from this part of the west Is
not to admit Cblcafo without allowing
the entire state of Illinois membership.
A lengthy debate on this question is
anticipated.
A feature of the convention will be
the unveiling exercises of the John
Rosicky monument at the Bohemian
National cemetery on the West Center
street road Saturday afternoon. - Louts
Berka of Omaha will make the priclpal
address on this occasion. The convention
closes Saturday, . v

rapidly In price, and had induced many
on these representations to invest their
savings In these lots,' which were of but
little, if any value. Maps were mailed
showing street carbines running past the
lots whioh he offered for sale, when, as
a matter of fact, there were no street car
