The Nebraska Lumber Dealers'association
met In annual convention yesterday after
noon in Washington hall. The convention
was called to order by the president , Mr. W.
A. Freld of Fremont. About ono hundred
members were present. The trade papers
were all represented , and several prominent
lumbermen from abroad were In attendence.
The secretary repotted n membership of
127. The treasurer's report showed receipts
for the year to the amount of f'JOD.IU ' , and the
disbursements word 81,118.715 , leaving a bal
ance due the secretary on salary of S'JI5.4I.
A committee was appointed to audit the
accounts of the treasurer and business was
suspended during the Interval In which the
committee went out to prepare a report. The
committee reported In a few minutes that
after deducting the amount on hand and
paid to the secretary at the beirlnnlng of the
year the association owed him $100.45.
A lei > g discussion arose over the action of
the board of directors In allowing the secre
tary the Initiation fees paid by all the firms
that joined the association during the year.
It was explained by the directors that this
had been done as a means of paying the sec
retary for his time spent in soliciting new
members.
It was decided to assess each yard In the
association $1 for the purpose of raising the
deficit.
It was also moved to increase the annual
dues and the Initiation fee from $ . " > to $10.
but after a long discussion this matter was
adjusted by leaving the initiation unchanged
and instructing the board of directors to
make an assessment at the end of six months
if moro funds are needed.
.IcaluiiH t Oiii.'ilin.
The election of ofllccrs for the ensuing
year sprung the question of electing the
secretary by the vote of the association in
stead of by veto of the directors. A rather
delicate matter was at the bottom of this
movement. The real purpose was to elect
some man to the position of secretary who
did not reside In Omaha.
Mr. Colpetzer caught the Idea and moved
that the secretary bo elected by the direc
tors as usual , but that the directors bo in
structed not to select an Omaha man
for secretary. Ho said there was
a feeling among members of the
association that the secretary ought not to
bo a resident of this city because ho was
liable to bo unduly Influenced by the whole
salers here. The Omaha lumbermen could
not afford to permit such a feeling to exist ,
and for one ho hoped that such Instructions
woulu bo given the board of directors as
would wlpo out this feeling completely. The
resolution wna carried.
President William A. Freld of Fremont'
was unanimously re-elected. Mr. C. Ij.
ChafTeo of Omaha was also re-elected ns
vice-president. Mr. George E. Ford of
Kearney and Mr. M. L. Trestcr of Lincoln
vcro elected to fill the vacancies In the di
rectory.
Several of the visiting dealers who had
not become members of the association
wanted to know the objects of the associa
tion.
tion.Mr
Mr , Barry of Fairbury explained that the
association had been organized for the pur
pose of preventing retailers from indulging
In ruinous competition and to prevent whole
salcrs from selling direct to the consumer.
A rural dealer Inquired whether or not all
the wholesalers in Omaha were members of
the association.
Secretary Sunderland answered that all
but ono were members.
Mr. Colpetzer sprang to his feet Hko a
flash and asked the secretary If ho really
meant to say that his answer was corroct.
Mr. Suuderlaud said ho believed ho was ,
correct.
Mr. Colpetzcr began to mention the names
of the different wholesale and retail firms
that wcro not members of the association ,
nud the secretary was obliged to admit that
'ho hud been mistaken.
Aftur KfcrullH.
Mr. Colpotzcr then offered a resolution in
structing the secretary to issue a circular to
all tha wholesalers in Omaha , South Omaha
Lincoln and all other wholesale ] ionts ! , in
vlting them to Join the association. The
secretary Is to inform the members of the
association as to the results and give tlio
names of the wholesale firms that refuse to
Join and the reasons for their refusal. It
was carried.
Mr. Colpotzer also offered a resolution to
compel all wholesalers in the association
having retail yards In the same towns with
their wholesale yards to comply with the
rules of the association with reg.ird to their
retail business just the samons though goods
had been shipped from their wholesale.yards.
It was carried.
Mr. Trestcr of Lincoln mads a strong
speech in favor of establishing a universal
custom among wholesalers not'to soil goods
at retail to anybody not belonging
to the community in which
their retail yards are located.
It } s the rule of the association that where
a wholesaler who is
retailing also gets a
Customer from a distant town he simply
VldslO percent to his regular retail prlco
ind sends this amount to the retailer bo-
ionging to the association town where the
lumber should have been purchased.
Several of the retailers wcro In favor of
that plan. They said that the receipt of n
cheek now and then representing 10 percent
of a bill of goods sold by some wholesaler tea
a customer from the vicinity of their yard
was n very welcome assurance that the
wholesalers were loyal to the principles of
the association. Others thought the
wholesalers ought to refuse to make a prlco
They should simply state that they sold to
dealers only.
A motion to Instruct the wholesalers ti
make prices to out-of-town customers and I
remit 10 per cent of the bill to the retaile
belonging to the association at the poin
where the purchaser of the lumber lived wa _
put and lost. It was therefore established
as the sense of the association that whole
salers who retail also should not sell to con
Burners who live out of the territory tribu
tary to the retail yard.
Mr , Ford of Kearney offered a rcsolutioi
thanking the Omaha daily press and th
various trade Journals represented for the !
courtesy In presenting ) to the public th
objects of the tissoc'latlon lu a correct nm
truthful manner. The resolution \va
mloptcd.
Mr. Colpetzer on bchnU of the wliolcsal
lumber iiieivhants tiiul manufacturers o
Omaha road an Invitation to the inembors o
the association to attend a banqunt at th
Omaha rlub last night. Ho did not call U
banquet , but merely a supper of crackers an

The Invitation was accepted and the con
vcntlon adjourned.

MOBAL HOUSE
Mayor IloniN anil Chief Scavcy Sliouldur
tin' Iti-npiiiiHllilllty.
When the autl-vlco crusaders went before
the city council and demanded the strict en
forcement of the laws against gambling ,
prostitution and Sunday liquor selling that
body referred them to the Board of Flro and
Police Commissioners. When tlTo question
came to a vote by the commissioners they
were equally divided , and the mayor was
compelled to break the tie , which he did by
voting In the negative1.
Mayor Hemls criticised the commissioners
for shirking their duty , and expressed the
opinion that they were trying to shift the re
sponsibility to the shoulders of the mavor
and the chlof of police. Yesterday brought
a new turn In the kaleidoscope. In the
morning Chief Keavoy Issued the following
order t.o the captains , sergeants and chief
detcctlvo of his foivo :
You will please bo vigilant and Instruct
your men to enforce the Sunday law and re
port to mo In writing thu names and places of
business ut all persons found to be violating
the city ordinances cowmlng tlio sule of In
toxicating liquors. You will cau-i > thu arrest
of all prostitutes and all men who are with
them who may bo found In wlnu looms In any
saloon In the rllv and c-bai'Kc them with bclni ;
disorderly pui-Mins. You will take the names
and resiliences of nil boys , girls , moil and wo
men who nuiy bo found In wino rooms In any
saloon In tlio city , and report tlio same lo mo
In writing , giving names , date , locality and
full particulars concerning the same.
You will also notify tin- proprietors of all
disorderly bouses that no free drinks nor fieo
lunches will bo allowed ; also , that no minors
ordiunki'ii men will bo allowed In any disor
derly house and that all disorderly houses
must be closed and no ono allowed Inside on
t lie Sabbath day.
Violation of this order will bo sufficient
causx to "pull" disorderly homes at any hour ,
day or night.
Chief Kcavcy said that the order was in
no scnso connected with the campaign of the
anti-vice petitioners. It would have been
given just the same if trto question had not
been agitated , and was in harmony with
what hts course had always been on those
matters. It was his intention , since the
council had seen lit to license the disorderly
houses , to keep them under control and have
them rim in as orderly a nrinnor as was pos
sible under the ordinance. The injunction
tion with respect to Sunday closing does not
apply to houses of prostitution.
In the afternoon Mayor licmis put an
other aspect on affairs by issuing the follow
ing instructions to Chief Seavey :
I enclose herewith for your Information and
guidance a copy of a motion adopted by the
city council referring the petitions of tha citi
zens of Omaha for fiottoronforcomont of the
laws to the Hoard of Klro and Police Commis
sioners with Instructions to see that n reason
able and substantial compliance with tlio laws
bu enforced. Slnco the action of the council
adopting this motion tlio Hoard of Klro and
Pollt'o Commissioners lias bad ihe samu under
consideration , and an olfort was made by cer
tain meinbuisof the Ixnnl toshlftall responsi
bility of enforcing the ordinances of the city
and the criminal code of thu state on thu
mavor nnd chief of pollco. In vlow of this
action and thu ovldi-ntDurposo of the Hoard ot
Flro and Police ( JommNsloners to put upon the
mayor and ehlof of police ihlc responsibility , [
am In favor of accepting the situation as It
exists and assuming Miich responsibility. I con
sider thu action taken liy thu council as en
tirely piopor , and I construe tbu Instructions
of tliu council to the ISo.ird of I'lro and Pollco
Commlsslonurs to moan , as .stated , that a rea
sonable and substantial compliance with tlio
laws to bo enforced In Omaha. 1 am not In
favor of adopting the extreme and fanatical
vlows advocated by some of tbu representa
tives of the antt-vico crusade , nulthuram I In
favor of til nil n- the city over to tin. violators
if law or morals. With the council , I bollovu
in a reasonable and substantial enforcement
of tlio ordinances of the elly anil thu laws of
tbu state. I favoi- such an enforcement of
both laws and ordinances as will result In the
greatest good and as will mostoirectlvuly sup
press crlmo and criminals. With this object
In vlow I Instruct you as follow ? , :
First To Immediately suppress all bouses or
rooms of Ill-famo not within thu burnt dis
trict and prevent street walking , window
solicitation or any other Improper or Indecunt
public exhibition.
Second To close all wino rooms In tlio city
whuro women or minors uro allowed tocon-
grugatu or are admitted , and arrest and cause
to bu proaocuted the kcupurs of such wlnu
rooms.
Third To pro vent'all.saloons In the city from
keeping open , helling or disposing of any
liquors , wino or buor on Sunday , and promptly
arrest anil prosecute all violators of thu bun-
day law.
Fourth To close all gambling places where
minors or persons under the Inlluenco of In
toxicating drink are admitted or allowed to
remain or which are the resort of conlhloncu
men or In which swindles are purpotratcd.
With regard to thu gambling evil , I deslro
yon to take such course as will most promotu
the Inturo.sts of society and as will best Urep
such uvll under proper restrictions and pollco
hiiporvlsion , anil 1 wish you to determine and
report as thu roiillt of your observation and
exporh'iico whether thu present system or thu
elo-rd gambling system will mojt oll'ectlvuly
accomplish the purpose do lred.

Nolllo Gastrigut'a Bnccossful En
counter with Two Thieves.
HER UNLOADED REVOLVER KEPT THEM OFF
The I.lttlo ItrrolnoVin Overpowered , but
She HiKl Unltipil Her Vlctory-I.n t
rnymunt on the I.lttlo Homo
Win Saved.
'llmt Fritz Gastrlght was able to realize
the dream of his life and pay the last dollar
that ho owed on his little homo yesterday
Is duo to the heroism of his 14-year-old
daughter Nellie , whoso bravo resistance
saved the house from being robbed by u
gang of desperate thieves Monday night.
Gastright Is a butcher employed In one of
the meat packing establishments at South
Omaha and for the past four years has been
endeavoring to pay for the homo which ho
occupied near Tenth and Bancroft streets.
Ho had paid all but $100 and had accumu
lated that amount In readiness for the final
settlement , when he was to receive the long
coveted deed to the property. Monday
afternoon ho quit work early nnd came to
Omaha and drew the money from the bank ,
intending to make the payment Uio first
thing yesterday morning.
Detected tlio Prowlers.
It seems that some one had learned of his
Intention , and that the money would bo in
the house over night , for about 10 o'clock the
cottage was entered by two unknown men ,
who very nearly succeeded in getting nway
with the savings of the past six months.
The money was deposited In a bureau drawer
for safe keeping , and In the evening Mr. and
Mrs. Gastright went to South Omaha to
spend the evening with some friends , taking
tlio youngest child with them and leaving
the- house In charge of their daughter ,
Nellie.
They had not been gone more than half nn
hour when the girl thought she noticed a
couple of strange men watching the house ,
but they soon disappeared and she thought
nothing moro of tlio occurrence. It was not
long before she had reason to remember it , for
soon after she had retired for the nlclit her
attention was attracted to an unusual noise
in the kitchen , and thinking it was the cat ,
she went out to let the animal outdoors
When she opened the kitchen door she ran
almost Into the arms of a at ran ire man , who
was rummaging through the roam , evidently
In search of something which ho knew was
concealed somewhere in the house.
The child's first thought was of the money
which her father had deposited in the bureau
a few hours previous and with a nerve
which was hardly to bo expected at her ago
she determined to keep the thieves out of
the sitting room where the bureau was
standing until her parents returned from
their visit.
The burplar was evidently as much sur
prised as herself at her appearance for ho
j had evidently expected to find the house un
' protected. In a moment , however , no had
grasped her by the throat and threatened to
kill her if she made any outcry. The child
was terribly frightened but managed to preserve -
; ' serve her wits enough to remember tint her
i ' father's revolver was in Its usual place on
i the mantel in the front room and as soon as
j ! the riifllan released his hold she sprang
' > back through the open door and In a moment
the weapon was in her hand. It was not
loaded but she leveled it in the burglar's
face with such a determined attitude that he
stopped short in his search and whistled to
his confederate who was waiting outside.
Tlioy Couldn't .Sciiro Her.
The latter crawled in through the open
window which had admitted the first in
truder , but had no moro courage than his
companion in the face of the leveled revolver
which the half fainting girl clung to as her
last hope. The Intruders tried to intimidate
the girl into dropping the weapon by threat
ening to kill her and burn the house , but
finding this of no avail llnally mustered
courage to make a dash toward her. The
hammer fell without otfect on the empty
chamber of the pistol nnd in .1 second she
was roughly thrown to tha Koor and onu of
the thieves hold his hand over her mouth
while the otticr resumed the search for the
money.
Tills consumed some time and at last the
thief reached the bureau. The bravo girl
knew that it' was nearly time for her
parents to return and struggled so effec
tually with her captor that the other was
compelled to como to his assistance. The
latter finally lost his temper and struck her
on the head , knocking hoc- insensible , in
which condition she was found by her
parents a few minutes after.
The money was untouched , and it Is sup
posed that the robbers had no sooner dis
posed of the Rirl than tho.v were alarmed by
the approaching footsteps of her parents
and took to their heels. There Is no clew to
the identity of the would-be robbers , but the
girl said that the one who entered thn house
first was a rather tall man dressed in black
trousers and a dark checked co.it and with a
'ull board. The window was still open and
Mr. Gastright kept watch for the thieves
the rest of the night , but they had appar
ently given it up as a bad job , and did not
show themselves a second time.
