THE BFK: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1910.
BREAD AND WATER
OR TOLEAVE CITY
Officials Decide They Will Rid
Omaha of Undesirables at
Once.
MANY TAKE HASTY LEAVE
A conference between Mayor Dahl-
man, Chief of Police Dunn and City
Commissioner Jariline resulted in a
decision to arrest and keep on bread
ami water Industrial Workers of the
World leaders unless they persuade
their men who stop in Omaha to en
gage in honest work at once or leave
the city.
This ultimatum of the officials seems
to have made some impression. Thurs
day night 400 Industrial Workers of
the World lelt tne city. Une hundred
went north 01; an Omaha line train
and another hurdred went to Fremont
and vicinity on a Northwestern train.
Many walked across the Douglas
street bndce into Iowa.
Local Industrial Workers of the
World leaders attended the confer
ence, which was held in the mayor's
uthec.
The situation has assumed such a
serious aspect that the authorities In
tend to rid the city of vagrants. There
is plenty of work here just now for
men who want work, and in view of
that situation the immediate future is
not bright for loafers who sojourn
here.
The police have been instructed to
round up the idlers who hang around
the railroad yards and the lower dis
tricts of the city.
Commissioner Jardine remained In
the railroad yards until II o'clock
Thursday evening and witnessed the
exodus of floaters.
Anniversary Feast
Over Lobingier's
Court at Shanghai
On June 30, last, Judge Charles S.
Lobingier, formerly at Omaha, later
judge at Mantla and now American
representative in the international
court at Shanghai, was the central
figure there in the celebration of the
tenth anniversary of the establish
ment of that court. The occasion
took the form of a banquet with about
300 guests, over which Judge Lo
bingier presided.
According to the newspaper ac
counts, which have been received, the
chief address was by Paul S. Reinsch,
American minister to 'China, and let
ters of congratulation were read from
Secretary of State Lansing, former
Minister Edwin Denby, former Presi
dent Taft, former Secretary of State
Elihu Root, the Germa.. consul gen
eral at Shanghai, and the chairman of
the British Bar committee.
Sues Sister for
Share of Estate
Two sisters are plaintiff and de
fendant in a suit filed in federal court
involving property worth $75,000.
They are Mrs. Sarah A. Bressler
and Mrs. Mary C Ludwig, daughters
of the late Caroline Fenstermacher of
West Point.
Mrs. Bressler alleges that her sis
ter, Mrs. Ludwig, and the latter's hus
band, Henry Wi Ludwig, used undue
influence in getting the aged Mrs.
Fenstermacher to make a will in their
favor, conveying to them her farm
in Cuming county valued at $75,000.
The petition states that the aged
woman could not read or write fcng
,.sn and could scarcely speak it; also
that she was "childish and altogether
unable to realize the purport of the
documents she signed.
Mrs. Ludwig took care of her aged
mother and father during the last
years of their lives.
The plaintiff seeks to secure an
equal share in the estate with the de
fendants. Holdup Men Nail Two
Victims Thursday Night
The activities of two negro holdup
men in the downtown district Thurs
day night were reported by two of the
victims.
Walter Woodward of Locust, S. D.,
was accosted by the dusky "stickup
artists" and relieved of a $62 roll. The
holdup occurred at Nineteenth and
Harney streets.
The negroes were not so success
ful when they held up George Rod
den of Harlan, la. They took his
pocketbook, which contained $4, and
sent him on his way with the admon
ishment "not to look back." The sec
ond holdup was staged at Ninth and
Dodge streets.
Dr. Connell Hopes to Go
Snowballing Next Week
Health Commissioner Connell
states he expects to engage in snow
balling next Wednesday He does
not expect to indulge in this sport in
Omaha, but anticipates he will be
thirty-five miles north of Sheridan,
Wyo. He will leave Sunday with
Karl Lininger, Duke Estrada, E. E.
Wright and Herbert and James Con
nell. 1 liee party will proceed with
saddle horses from Sheridan. When
not throwing snowballs, they will
hunt and fish.
Commissioners Look Over
Rest Park for South Side
City commissioners visited Thirty
sixth and Q streets and looked over
two sites which have been proposed
as rest parks. A tract near the new
Armour office building is favored and
may be acquired by the city.
Commissioner Hummel believes a
row of shower baths would be a val
uable adjunct in the proposed park.
The proposition is being considered
seriously. No formal action has been
taken.

Hugh Kennedy is
Found Dead on Cot;
Mystery in Case
Hugh Kennedy, chief clerk for the
Western Weighing association, was
found dead on a cot in a room at
2516 N street. South Side, about 10
o'clock yesterday morning.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
death. At 9:30 this morning Kennedy
left his home at 1506 South Twenty
fifth avenue. It was presumed he was
going to his work.
But about 10 o'clock Dr. Betz re
ceived a call from 2516 N street. He
hurried to the address and found Ken
nedy dead. It is thought heart failure
caused the death, but physicians were
unable to determine for a certainty, so
a post mortem examination will have
to be held.
Kennedy was 31 years old. His po
sition with the Western Weighing as
sociation was a responsible one
Thursday evening he was in the best
of health and spent the evening down
town with a number of acquaintances.
Neither did he compl in when he left
his home this morning.

Two Hurt As Water
Heater Explodes
J. W. Kenniser, 1606 Corby street,
engineer, and J. Nice, 6325 South
Thirty-sixth street, machinist, were
badly burned when a water heater
in the basement of the David Cole
Creamery company exploded. They
were taken to the Lister hospital.
Nick Gregures, who was standing
nearby when the accident occurred,
was uninjured.
Men Rush to Enlist in
The United States Army
A great rush of men to enlist in the
United States army is an unexplain
able phenomenon of the local recruit
ing office.
Eleven men were enlisted Friday,
which utterly smashes all previous
records for a day.
Including the sub-stations, ninety
three have enlisted so far this month.
The highest previous record was
eighty-five. And that was for a whole
month.
Of the eleven enlisted, ten were sent
to Fort Logan, Colo., and one to the
signal corps at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan.
County Commissioner Frank IW'si.
chairman of the finance committee c(
the county board, will Monday recom
mend to the board of commissioners
that they undertake action to obtain
an entire new system of automobile
taxation in Nebraska.
The plan favored by Hest is similar
to that under which the state of Iowa
now is receiving $1,500,000 annually
through automobile taxation.
Machines are to be removed from
the personal tax lists, and the full
tax is to be imposed in the form of
a license, each machine being taxed
in accordance with the indicated
horse power.
Under the Iowa plan the owner of
a flivver would pay a smaller tax tha1:
the owner of the big touring car, the
difference being figured upon relative
horse power.
For the Road Fund.
Funds derived would go into t!:e
road fund.
"It is very difficult to tax automo
biles equitably under the presen.
law," says Hest. "In the first place,
it is impossible for the assessor to
locate all machines. Some are out
of the state, others are concealed by
owners,, and some are simply missed
when the assessor makes his rounds.
Many cars, too, escape taxation dur
ing the first year they are owned in
the state.
"Again, the average valuations of
ears are dropping steadily, because of
the inability of the assessor to de
termine depreciation, etc. Undoubted
ly the owner of a small tar pays a
bigger proportionate tax than the
owner of a big machine, and the re
verse should be true.
Many Cars Missed.
"About 5,000 machines are listed in
Douglas county tax lists, while the
licenses issued during the year run
well upward toward 7,000. This dis
parity is not found in Douglas county
alone, but all over the state.
"If the full tax was imposed at the
time the license number was issued, it
would be impossible to evade taxa
tion, and the assessors' work would
be greatly simplified.
"Iowa has found this form of auto
mobile taxation a great success, an ',
a much fairer plan than the old oi.e.
The man who drives a big car should
bear a larger share of taxation for
road upkeep than the chap with a
small roadster, and this equalization
can be mde under the Iowa plan."
A strong sentiment exists in the
state, according to Mr. Best, in favor
of this kind of a law, and he believes
it can easily be passed by the legisla
ture. In all probability the boar!
will go on record as strongly in favor
of the measure.
