Auto Driver Kicks on Speed.
Complaint against reckless auto
mobile driving in Norfolk was made
today to the city authorities by a
Norfolk auto owner. The man with
the protest admitted that his motives
were selfish. Ho said that auto
owners generally were in danger of
becoming an unpopular class of cltl-
ens through the carelessness of two
or three drivers and that he did not
think it fair that the men who were
forced to depend on their machines a
good deal in their business and who
drove them with care should be made
to suffer condemnation because some
other fellow shattered the speed limit.
The first accident to occur , would , he
said , be followed by general display
of indignation and ill feeling through
out the city directed against pretty
nearly everyone who owned a machine.
He therefore asked for some activity
on the part of the police in holding
auto drivers down to the state law.
It seems to be generally admitted
thnt there has been little or no check
to speeding on Norfolk streets. An
other auto driver than the one who
took the matter up with the city this
morning , stated that he was going down
the avenue at a rate of twelve miles
an hour , as shown on his speed regis
ter , when another local car simply ran
away from him.
The Nebraska state law provides
that automobiles on country roads
must not go over twenty miles an
hour , or over fifteen miles an hour In
suburban district or over ten miles an
hour in city and downtown districts.

The Capture In the Klnetoscope Jun

Chicago , April 21. Theodore Roosevelt
velt hasn't landed in Africa yet , but
an enterprising Chicago moving pic
ture firm already has films showing
the ex-president capturing a lion in
the jungles. The films will bo used in
five-cent theaters throughout the
country as soon as the cables from
Mombasa bring news of Mr. Reese
velt's entrance into the jungles.
The films were made yesterday.
There were numerous palms , canebrakes -
brakes , trees and a quantity of brush
and grass .also canvas mountains and
large , overhanging pasteboard rocks
and boulders. It may be said that
there were even real Africans they
at least were at some time or other de
scended from Africans , and with the
addition of nose rings , earrings , paint
and hair and the removal of the great
er nart of their clothing , they carried
one almost to Africa itself.
Then there was a real , live lion. By
several hours' training , just before the
time set for the performance , the lion
had been brought 'to such a point that
be really jumped around , and he might
have attacked a man if the notion , had
occurred to him. Mr. Roosevelt also
was there with a band of hunters In
regular hunters' outfits. "Teddy" so
nearly resembled the original that in
a photograph even his closest friends
might be misled.
The lion capturing business as portrayed
trayed yesterday Is n series of scenes.
First , the party is on the track ; then
they have traced the lion to the edge
of a precipice ; hurriedly , a trap Is set ;
an Innocent little goat Is bound by its
feet to a small rock overhanging the
precipice ; the lion is let into the
scene and , after rambling through the
cancbrakes a few moments , he sees
the goat and runs forward , preparing
to leap for his prey.
Alas , he does not look before he
leaps and he falls into the pit. In
stantly the band of hunters and natives
bound into the scene , and by a few
quick movements the lion' Is forced
Into a Email cage. The' cage1 inclosing
the furious beast the fury being'ob
tained by annoying the captive is
drawn out of the pit and then there is
a general jollification and exchange of
congratulations. The ex-president and
the village chieftain clasp hands as
the end of the film is reached.
