The council last night sustained the veto
of the maor ! on the resolution suspend
ing the operation of the bicycle lamp ordi
nance by as decisive a vote as that by which
the resolution was passed at the last meet-
Ing. The mayor gave as reasons H < at the
ordinance had been under consideration for
several weeks without calling forth any op
position , that the lamp dealers of the city
had Invested $10,000 or U6.000 In lamps and
were entitled to consideration and finally
that the ordinance was a good one and
should be enforced.
There now eeems to be no relief for the
protesting wheelmen. The ordinance has be
come of force by the lapse of the required
period of time after Its passage and Is now
as much law as any city ordinance. The
veto was supported by all the councllmen
but Stuht and Blngham. It was suggested
that the wheelmen would resist the ordi
nance In the court. Stuht objected to forc
ing citizens Into the courts to protect themselves -
selves , but Lobeck thought the ordinance
might as well bt tested ns not.
Itondi Ilcinnln Firm.
City Attorney Contiell Informed the coun
cil that bn had notified the Burlington and
Union Pacific roads of the alteration of the
viaduct prcipcsal by the striking out of the
section consenting to close Seventetnth
street , and that ho had in turn been noti
fied by the attorneys for the roads that
they would never consent to the alteration.
The city attorney advised that the council
eland by Us proposition nnd not allow the
ccntrovcrsy over Seventeenth street to de
prive the city of a viaduct. A portion of
his report was as follows :
As I view the matter , the Interests of the
r general public are fully protected by the
arrangement proposed by the city to the
railroad companies , which I am advised the
railroad companies are disposed to accept
with perhaps some slight modification re
garding some points which it Is desired to
have more fully or clearly expressed.
According to the proposition of the city
to the railroad companies the railroad com
panies are not only required to pay air
damages resulting from the closing of Sev-
street across the right of way of
said companies , but are also required to
make the necessary provision for such pay
ment before said street is closed by the
city. In view of the fact that Seventeenth
street will be the only grade crossing be
tween the depots In Omaha and South
Omaha and that It will be a constantly in
creasing menace to life and limb , -which In
time will demand Its croslng , I consider that
the provision relating to Seventeenth street
which requires the payment of all damages
by the railroad companies Is In the Inter
ests of the city and the general public.
With the city engineer I have made every
effort to protect the Interests of the general
public and secure at the earliest time pos
sible the construction of necessary viaducts
and subways by the railroad companies. I
consider It a mistake to allow the contro
versy over the closing of Seventeenth street
to stand In the way of a completion of these
negotiations. While It is true that the
courts have sustained the contention of the
city regarding its right and power to com
pel railroads to construct all necessary via
ducts and approaches , the question of the
reasonableness of any requirement of the
city , in this behalf , as well as the length of
the approaches to viaducts , Is one
, ' that Is still open to controversy and future
litigation.
The communication was referred to the
committee on railroads. President Blnghatn
thought that Immediate action -would be bet
ter.-but Bechel said the committee could
net within a day and that he was ready to
meet any time. The matter therefore went
to the committee.
nonUiInckn Trny for RcHrf.
A petition signed "by " about thirty boot
blacks of the city -was received , asking for
the passage of an ordinance prohibiting the
proprietors of bootblacklng stands from
keeping them open on Sunday after 3
o'clock p. m. and providing a fine for the
violation of Its provisions. The petition
was referred to the committee on flre , water
and police.
The committee on fire , water and police
recommended the passage ot the ordinance
considered yesterday in committee of the
whole regulating and requiring the issuance
of transfers by < ho street railway company
at certain designated points. Mercer stated
that It contained nil reasonable requlre-
k
A ments as to transfers , including the South
f. Omaha transfers. The report was adopted
and the ordinance will go the regular way.
The committee on paving and sewers
recommended that charges of the Morrlssey
Plumbing company against the plumbing
Inspector < be submitted In writing and re-
ferred to the committee. The report was ]
adopted. j
Stuht made a tand for municipal owner
ship of the water works , toward 'which end
he said he had been working over since he
had entered the council. The occasion was '
the disposition of an ordinance repealing a
former ordinance ordering the location of
fire hydrants. Stuht became Indignant that
the ordinance should toe repealed at the
suggestion of the member from the Ninth
ward when all the hydrants In that'ard
had already been put In.
Mercer Bald he had Introduced the re
pealing ordinance simply because there was
no money with which to pay for the by- '
drants. Hie asserted that the hydrants In I
the Ninth ward were included in the list
vof those dispensed with , but Stuht sue
\eedpd In having < he matter referred.
Upon the recommendation of the city enI I
Rlneer the amount -withheld from the payment - j '
ment for paving of Charles street was or-
dercd paid the contractor , the term of main- j
tenance having expired and the pavement |
being In good condition. The final estimate
on the grading of Sixteenth street was also I
ordered paid. I
By a concurrent resolution the mayor was j
authorized to execute to the Adams-Kelly
company a deed for a portion of Nicholas
street adjacent to the property of the com
pany , upon the payment to the city treas
urer of J50. The regularity of the transac
tion was questioned , but passed on the
ground that the company Is about to add
a factory to the city's industries.
The following resolution , introduced ty
Burkley , was adopted :
That the city treasurer be and he hereby
is authorlred to accept the amount ot taxes
without July , 1899. Interest or penalty , for
which orders chair be given him on or be j
fore June 30 , 1539 , which are accompanied '

MUST TRANSFER CONCESSION
Support of Mr. Tniiilnonlnn'd Tnher-
nnclc In Dependent Upon I2x-
ponltlfiti Hoard.
At a public meeting of those Interested
In having religious services conducted dally
on 1-c crounds of the Greater America
| Exposition last evening In the parlors of
i the Younc Men's Christian association a
'
committee was appointed and given full
authority to act as It deem wisest In
the .furtherance of the movement. A com
mittee consisting of Dean Campbell Fair ,
F. L. Willis and Paul Cbarlton , which had
been authorized to select this committee , re
ported the following names , the majority
of whom have consented to act : Dean
! Campbell Fair , General George B. Dandy ,
1 G. F. BIdwell , Rev. Thomas Anderson , John
! Bexton , Rev. A. C. Brown , Samuel Gamble ,
J. I. Tamlnoslan , Rev. H. C. Herring , Rev.
'
M. W. Chase and L. Borscheln.
This committee is authorized to visit the
directors of the exposition and obtain their
consent to a transfer of the concession
awarded to Mr. Taminoelan , ns the right to
proceed is dependent upon this transfer.
Should the committee fall In Us efforts to
obtain It then Mr. Tamlnoslan will be left
to seek outside assistance and proceed on
his own responsibility. He has consented
to a transfer of the concession , believing
that the work may be made the more suc
cessful If all labor In unison. The com
mittee will not be able to snake any ad
vancement In the -work until the transfer
Is authorized , when It may push forward as
rapidly and as vigorously as It desires.
In explanation of his position Rev.
Vyrnwy Morgan says :
"May I be allowed for the second time
to publicly refer to this matter ? I do so
because the tactics employed do not com
mend themselves to me and will not , I
think , commend themselves to many others.
Only a few days ago a circular was mailed
giving the names of those who had been
appointed on the committee , but several of
them knew nothing of their nomination.
"The flrst meeting is the basis of the
whole matter , which , after heated discus
sion , endorsed the movement on the distinct
understanding that the exposition manage
ment consented to have the concession as
signed to another and a very different com
mittee , such committee to have full and
absolute control over this movement. This
Is the essence of the -whole business. If
the exposition management cannot assign
the concession then the committee appointed
last night has no power to proceed any fur
ther , and I believe It will not. If this
Is to be a Tamlnoslan movement lot the
public know It ; nothing can be gained by
tactics of this kind. The public will have
an Idea of the degree of Interest In this
matter when I tell It that after much
effort only nine persons appeared. Even
should the exposition management consent
to transfer the concession. It has no
authority to place this religious movement
In the care of Mr. Taminoslan , either di
rectly or Indirectly , because that was the
spirit and result of the flrst meeting. "

Improved street railway facilities , a pub
lic park on the 'bluff tract and an exhibi
tion of backbone on the part of the city
council In its dealings with the railroads
were a trio of subjects that kept the members -
bers of the North Side Improvement club
very busy at their meeting last night. The
meeting organized by electing Joe Redmon
chairman and Hugh Meyer secretary and
then Mr. Tledmon briefly stated the object
of the meeting. Speeches were made by
Dr. Glbbs and several other taxpayers nnd
these referred particularly to the disadvan
tages that residents of the Fifth ward suffer
under the present transfer system. Com
plaint was also made on account of the
"bobtail" cars that are run as trailers on
the Sherman avenue line and the discus
sion , developed the following resolutions ,
which were unanimously adopted :
Whereas , The Street Railway company is
a public carrier and said company has been
granted valuable and exclusive franchises
by the people of the city of Omaha on the
streets , boulevards and public highways of
this city ; and
Whereas , The charter of the city provides
for the regulation by the mayor and coun
cil of the running of street cars within the
city and gives them power to fix and deter
mine the fare to be charged ; and
Whereas , It U to the best Interests of
both the peopfe of this city and the said
Street Railway company that no cause for
dissatisfaction or friction exist between said
parties : and
Whereas , The- failure of said street car
company to issue transfers to Its passengers
from one line to another and the favoritism
shown to Rome sections ot the city and to
some lines in the nature of transfers denied
to others Is a cause of great dissatisfaction
and 111 feeling ; therefore be It
Resolved , ny the members of the Tforth
Omaha Improvement club that said street
car company be requested to at once In
augurate a general tystem of transfers from
one line to another throughout the city.

Reserved. That the secretary of this club

A resolution was also adopted by which
< he attention of the Board of Park Commis
sioners was called to the desirability of se
curing the bluff tract as an addition to the
Insldo park system , and tie sale of Fonta-
nelleparti was suggested In order to raise
the necessary funds. One or two speakers
also referred to the existing controversy
between the city and the railroads and in
sisted that It is time the city stood paten
on Its rights under the decision of the su

BATES STILL LIES IN JAIL
South Omaha Stock Bnytr Says the Banks
Shut Down on Him Hard ,
FLILS VERY HIGH FOR A SHORT TIME
Clnlnin He Intended to Condnct n Le
gitimate lliiMnrn * ! nnd Hnd So
Intention of
Anyone.
Twenty-four hours In Jail .has not changed
tfap cleanly appearance of James D. Bates ,
but It has done much to shake his nerve ,
and now be wishes he were a free man.
Bates Is accused of having swindled the
Union Stock Yards National bank and other
South Omaha firms out of considerable
money. He came here with an alleged un
limited letter of credit from Wilson , Sons
& Co. , Liverpool , Eng. , Bates representing
that they had a branch office In Baltimore.
H was easy for him to work on the banks
and he soon had all the money lie needed.
He fitted up an office and employed several
mer apparently with the Intention of re
maining permanently. Had he not flown so
high at first , the banks might not have been
suspicious. , but his willingness and ability
to spend money got him into trouble. As a
result of the Inquiries made by the banks
Information came tliat no such a flrm as
Wilson , Sons & Co. exists In Baltimore and
that the drafts drawn on a Baltimore bank
were -worthless. Later It was learned that
the drafts went to protest Tuesday after
noon because of failure In payment.
Tclln III" Trouble * .
When he was seen at the station Tuesday
concerning his trouble Bates said :
" 1 came to Omaha from Baltimore , Md.
I stopped a short time In Kansas City.
When I left Baltimore I had about $700 In
cash'on my person. I had been working for
a firm of stock buyers In Virginia and an
other In New York. I bad all arrange
ments made for locating In South Omaha ,
where I expected to conduct a legitimate
business. I had a strong letter of credit ,
which received prompt recognition upon de
posit. I furnished an office , secured some
men to assist me and started out to buy
stock for export. I purchased five cars of
cattle Saturday , and the papers I Intended
to send ist would have made my drafts
good and they would have been paid
promptly. As It was I got drunk and the
people became suspicious. They came down
on mo hard , and now I am In Jail. I do
not know \\bat I am going to do. Every
thing I had when I came here , mywatch
and other Jewelry , has been attached , I un
derstand. It shows on the face that If I
had wanted to fleece these people I should
have taken a different course. The longest
time I could hope for before discovery was
three or four days , so why should I attempt
anything of the kind. Now I am tied down
and the documents I expect to send east
to make my drafts good were not forth
coming In time to protect me. "
"The documents Bates spoke of doubtless
were bills of lading for stock which he had
purchased. He intended tt > send these east
immediately , evidently to guarantee the
payment of the drafts by the Baltimore
bank.
The Union Stock Yards National bank
swore out a writ of attachment on the J30U
an3'a diamond ring which were taken from
the person of Bates. The appropriation of
these will deprive him of the means to
make a strong flght unless he develops a
support somewhere that has not been lo-
cateS.
WorUn n. Hotel Sinn.
James D. Bates , the promoter , was not a
believer In "Lincoln's famous" utterance about
fooling all the people all the time and as
Incidents of his meteoric career come to
light It is seen that there has been much
in his experience to Justify the opinion he
has formed of his fellow men. An amusing
story Is told of his four days' stay at an
Omaha hotel and It shows how easily a
good business man can sometimes be fooled
by another man with nerve. During Bates'
first day at the iotel he appeared at the
desk and requested the clerk to give him
$5 and charge the amount to bis account.
The clerk Informed the Englishman that it
was contrary to his orders to advance money
to guests who were strangers and that the
proprietor -would have to fee consulted be
fore the request could be granted.
Mr. Bates was plainly chagrined at the
refusal and at once sought out the pro
prietor. "See here , " he said , "must I be
subjected to the annoyance of coming to
you every time Iwant a little change ? "
"Well , I do not know anything about you
Mr. Bates , " was the reply.
"This Is my card ; It will tell you who I
am , " announced the guest , producing the
card that gained him an entrance Into busi
ness circles of South Omaha. The hotel pro
prietor said he would look the matter up
and that there would be no more annoyance
Incurred In getting change at the desk.
That night , in reply to Inquiries , a South
Omaha stockman assured the hotel proprie
tor that Mr. Bates' flrm was quoted bj
Bradstreet's as worth millions and word was
straightway left at the hotel desk and bar
that Mr. Bates was to be granted ever }
privilege. This was an opportunity that the
promoter -was not slow " to take advantage
of. He drew a J50 "check on the South
Omaha bank and left it at the desk to be
placed at his credit. Then at different times
during the next two days he drew $5 anc
J10 amounts against It. Mr. Bates is sale
to havp received J&O over the hotel desk
and all of his bills there arc unpaid.

OMAHA , June 20 , To the Editor of The
Bee : May I be allowed to disclaim the
motives attributed to me my Mrs. Hoag-
land ? I am far from wishing to decry the
services of the flower mission. I think the
lady will remember that I called It a
beautiful work. Nor do I wish to rest un
der the Imputation of unappreclativeness
and Ingratitude. I may be obscure , but my
object In writing anonymously was from
private motives. I win. however , set that
right , If the editor of The Bee will allow
me. by signing my name at the end of this
article. I certainly am not cowardly enough
to deny the authorship of anything I have
ever written , either tar The Bee or any
other publication.
Perhaps my assertions were a little sweepIng -
Ing , but the fact remains , nevertheless , that
the flower mission work could be Improved
upon. Life Is too short , however , and time
too precious to spend In useless discussions.
I have no desire to pose either as an
anonymous coward or as a teacher of better
methods. My object in writing the obnox
ious article referred to is accomplished if
the young ladles engaged In this nobfe work
> will accept the suggestions offered in the
J same spirit which Mrs. Hoagland asserts
I actuates them in their efforts to alleviate
the desolate monotony of the Kick room.
My experience Is not an lariated one.
"There are others. " The pity the undying
pity of it all Is that the methods of the
Master are not more closely copied.

POPULAR GIRL VOTE CONTEST
Heavy Vote by Lower Three in Upper Tier
Without Effecting Any Change.
BUT LIVELY SCUFFLING IN DIAMOND ROW
A , n. llnlirrmnnn'M I'rlic OfTor Ailil *
Mntrrlnlly to the Intercut in the
Voting llnce AnnulDK lie-
unit of nn I2rror.
The announcement made yesterday of Mr.
A. B. Hubennann's offer of four valuable
prizes for the second four from head ot
list at the close of The Dee's Popular Olrl
Vacation contest has aroused a stronger In
terest than ever In the progress of this
race for votes and no small amount of
gossip has been started as to who was to be
the "male attachment" to go with the con
solation prize of n gold wedding ring ,
promised through omission of the
word "not" In The Morning Bee but
the responsibility for fulfillment of which
promise The Bee , for good reasons , Is ob-
llgod to disclaim In toto.
Through a misunderstanding on the part
of some Bee employes on erroneous report
has been spread that the contest la to close
on June 30 Instead of 6 p. m. July 1 , the
time specified In our flrst announcement ,
which will be strictly adhered to.
Though no changes In the personality or
rank of members of the upper tier have re
sulted from yesterday's vote , the closeness
with which the members stand to each other
predicts a breaking up today. In the lower
tier the order of rank has been completely
changed , and one member has been dis
placed by Miss Carrie Ocumpaugh.

" DEAII M s. PINKHAM For two
years I felt tired and so weak and dizzy
that BOino days I could hardly go
around the house. Backache and head
ache all the time and my food would
not digest and had such pains in the
womb and troubled with leucorrhoea
and kidneys were affected.
"After birth of each child I grew
weaker , and hearingBO much of the
good you had done , 1 wrote to you and
have taken six bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound , one
box of Lozenges , one box of Liver Pills ,
one package of Sanative Wash , and to
day I am feeling as well as I ever did.
When I get up in the morning I feel as
fresh as I did when a girl and eat and
sleep well and do all of my work. If
ever I feel weak again shall know
where to get my strength. J know
your medicine cured me. " MBS. SAUNA

letter from our esteemed Colonel Vlfqualn
to Captain Cross , wishing to ascertain how
many members of Company M. Third Ne

doubtless receive may be somewhat mis
leading to those not acquainted with the
facts. Therefore I beg to state that the
members of Company M are anxious to t kc
part In the reception and If arrangements
could be made to send Lieutenants Hnll or
