When the members of the park commission convened yesterday afternoon they discov ered that the lower lake In Hanscom park did not contain as much area as was intended. When Mr. Cleveland - land drew the plans for the construction of this sheet of water , ho intended the water line on the cast should extend as .far ns the street line on the west side of Twenty-ninth avenue , but Mr. Adams , who has hail chnrgo of the matter , did not understand the plans and built the wall some distance to the west , thus reducing the area of the lake at least one-half an acre. Mr. Cleveland , who returned fromMinneapo- lis Monday , was surprised and disgusted with the parties who had tampered with his work and had no hesitancy in so expressing himself. The plans of the new West Lcavenworth street park were ' presented and discussed. This park is just beyond the Belt line and is thrceanirone-half miles west of thopostoflieo. The idea of having a largo lake close to the city was thought advisable , and after looking the plans of the Lcavenworth street park over it was decided that in this new tract of land recently secured a body of water , con taining an area of ten acres , could bo secured by building a low dam at a trilling cost. What to name the park was a matter that caused considerable discussion , but at last , by unanimous agree ment , Glendale park was decided upon , and Mr.Cleveland instructed to make a survoyaml , at his earliest convenience submit the work ing plans to the commission. Upon motion of Mr. Millard the secretary of the board was Instructed to advertise for plans for the construction of a pavillion , to bo built on the banks of the lake in Hanscom park. The idea is to construct a building 50x12.5 feet , one story high , to bu of wood with an nsphaltum iloor. Another motion followed which provides that when the pavillion is completed the Park house and all other buildings in the park are to be removed. Another lot of curbing was ordered done , and this time all driveways from the east will bo curbed to the lako. The material for this is to cost at the rate of15 cents per lineal foot. Some time ago it was dccidcil to build an iron foot bridge over the upper lake , but yesterday that action was rescinded and the commissioners decided to construct the lake , with no obstructions about it , other than n railway around its edges. Dr. Miller thought the drinking fountain in the center of Jefferson square was a dis gusting feature , and upon motion it was or dered removed , and the secretary was in structed to communicate with Mr. Under wood of the waterworks company and see if ho would not do nate two stone block fountains , to bo located , ono in the square and the other in Hanscom park. In regard to the mistake made In the con struction of the lower lake in Hanscom park , Mr. Adams' work was orde.-ed torn out. and the lake bo formed according to Mr. Cleve land's original plan , the work to be performed after the summer season is over. Abbreviated iloy. For a time yesterday afternoon M. D. Heed , the Oshkosh clothes wringer man , thought ho was out of trouble , but this thought ho enjoyed for only a brief period of time. When the case was called for trial yesterday afternoon the county attorney moved for a dismissal , which was granted , and Kecd started to leave the court , room , but ho was detained for a moment until a now warrant could bo served uxm | him. This now eotn- platut , which has been filed , alleges that Kced represented to his vlctlili that ho was the head of the Bacon wringer factory at Osh kosh , Wls , , with an unlimited capital and a capacity for turning out 1MX ) wringers per day. Telegrams from Oshkosh convoy the information that no such institution exists , nnd on the grounds of beating Nathan Archi bald out of his hard earned money Heed will now bo tried. Committee on Immigration. CHICAGO , May 23. The congressional coin- mitteo on immigration today heard much tes timony on immigration mutters and many opinions from witnesses as to the best means of regulating It. A newspaper reporter who testified said the alien contract labor law had been grossly violated since the carpenters' strike. James Burncs" the carpenters' council was recalled. Ho admitted ho know of the importations of foreign carpenters , but as he was working in connection with the govern ment agents in the matter ho could only give his information at a secret session of the com mittee. This was afterwards dono. The AVenthor Forecast. For Omaha and vicinity : Kain , followed by fair weather. Nebraska and South Dakota ; Showers , cooler , westerly winds.
