OEST WITNESSES HIS FINALE
County Board Makes Captain 8tockham
Superintendent of Poor Farm.
CONNOLLY ACTS WITH THE REPUBLICANS
COBBlulonni Hraftlve to Take Ip
Five Per Oil Rands with Sew
! Iasae at Lotrrr Rata
of Interrat.
Captain and Mrs. William E. 8toekham
are to replace Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Oest
ai superintendent and matron of the county
poor farm June 1, according to a resolution
Adopted yesterdsy morning by the Board of
County Commissioners.
Stockham Is a republican, but his appoint
ment was proposed by Connolly, demo
cratic member of the board. The repub
lican members, Oetrom and Harte, voted
for the change and O'Keeffe and Hof ldt
Voted against It. There was no speech-making
except a few indignant remarks from
O'Keeffe. who said that Oes had given
tip his business in South Omaha and moved
LJs furniture out to the poor farm and,
that leaving politics out of the matter, he
considered It a great Injustice. Oest had
been an early caller at the commissioners'
rooms and had had a talk with O'Keeffe, la
the course of which he, the doomed super
intendent, Indicated plainly that he fore
saw his finale.
Refnndlnar Bond laiar,
The board, after disposing of the poor
farm matter, voted unanimously for a reso
lution to refund for twenty years at 3
per cent Interest, payable semi-annually,
the 28,0OO In old refunding bonds, which
have been bearing 6 per cent elnce 18f7 and
which have five years yet to run. The
board takes this action, It explains, because
It believes the bonds can be refunded at
the lower rate of Interest. There are 26S
of the bonds for 1,000 each and the prin
cipal and Interest of the new ones are to
be payable at the Nebraska fiscal agency
In New York City. The county clerk Is In
atructed to notify, by publication In the
three dally newspapers of Omaha, the pub
llo that any objections to this must be filed
by noon May 17.
Question of Transportation.
When tho appropriations were reached
O'Keeffe arose and declared that the board
would find It less expensive to charter a
'railroad than to pursue Its present policy
In furnishing transportation to destitute
applicants for charity. Connolly, as chair
man of the charity committee, had given a
woman (16 to aaslst her In reaching Buf
falo, N. Y., and the South Omaha member
declared that he bad Juat as much right to
furnish transportation to Europe as to New
York. Connolly answered by reciting the
pitiable condition of some of those who bad
come to him for help and declared that
when a woman Is ill and her baby hungry
it was too hard to refuse her aid. O'Keeffe
Insisted that no transportation be Issued
for a greater distance than 500 mites, ex
cept, the matter be brought before the
board In regular meeting. This was finally
put through with Harte's amendment per
'mlttlbg a commissioner to act as be sees
fit when the county physician recommends
the emergency aa urgent.
WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO ACT
What the Contractors of Federal
Balldlns Addition Are Re
paired to Do.
The atatement waa made by the super
vising architect of tha Omaha federal
building yesterday morning that no further
action would be taken on the construction
pt t the Seventeenth atreet front of the
federal building until congress has bad an
opportunity to pass upon the question.
The architect atated that the bids of Gin
dele Co. had been suspended In Wash
ington until more money Is available for
the construction, as there Is not money
sufficient In the fund to complete the
building even upon the modified plan of
Benator Millard.
As to the probability of securing funds
this year, the architect said that he
understood the Intention of Senator Mil
hard to be to attach an appropriation to
the general deficiency bill pending In the
enate or to the omnibus building bill,
. which will soon reach the senate from the
house. At the present time that bill, which
came from Congressman Mercer's commit
tee, contains no provision for money to
complete the building In this city.
According to statements made at the
'federal building the present condition wlil
result In extending the work on the build
ing for about another year, as the plans
for the construction will depend entirely
upon the action of congress. The fear waa
expressed that unless the matter is set
tled at this session there will not be
money enough In the present fund to

WILL BEAUTIFY ONE STREET
Major D. H. Whtrlrt'i Scheme to Be
Carried Ont on Sonth Twenty
ElaThth.
8outh Twenty-eighth street from Farnam
to Leavenworth, a distance of about half a
mile, bus been taken under the wing of
Major D. H. Wheeler, who proposes to
demonstrate to the city what a little uni
formity In the way of sodding and tree
planting can do toward beautifying a drive
way. It is to be made a sample residence
street, to the end that the city council may
eventually order more like It.
Bids for sodding and tree-planting have
been opened by the Board of Public Works
and contracts will be awarded within a
few days. James M. Buel offers to do the
sodding for 11 Vi cents per square yard,
while Oeorge R. Crandall bids 11 cents per
square yard and $2.70 per tree, each tree
guaranteed to live. The trees will be soft
maple and will be set In such a way as to
form continuous, unbroken rows on both
sides of the street, from Leavenworth to
Farnam street. The sodding will be of uni
form width between the sidewalk and the
curb the entire distance. These Improve
ments, In view of the fact that the old
cedar block pavement has been removed
and the thoroughfare repaved with asphalt,
promise to make on South Twenty-eighth
street one of the most beautiful half-miles
ot driveway In the city.
One eyesore In the heart ot this some
what exclusive residence district la a group
of ramshackle frame buildings at 315 South
Twenty-eighth street, the property ot John
Keith of North Platte. They are used by
him as boarding and sale stables for horses
raised on his ranch, and ot late persons
living In the locality have been complaining
that the atreet. n front of the buildings la
constantly congested with a Job lot of non
descript vehicles. E. O. Jackson, manager
of the stables, la to be notified that he has
no right to use the street for this purpose.
The structures themselves have fallen under
the ban of the city building Inspector, who
will recommend to the Board of Publlo
Works at Its next meeting that they be
condemned and torn down.
The ordinance providing for the embel
lishment of South Twenty-eighth street la
all that la left of Major Wheeler's blanket
ordinance providing for similar Improve
ments on every residence street in the city.
Thla ordinance was vetoed by the mayor,
who gave aa his reason that the city waa
already overburdened with special taxea.
"It the ordinance had become law,"
said the major, "It would have put an end
to this squabble about the building of fencea
In the street. The city would have become
responsible for the .proper care ot the trees
and sodding along atreet margins, and there
would have been no excuse for private
property owners building fencea for such
protection."

COST OF PHILIPPINE WAR
Quartermaster of This Department Helping
to rigure it Ont.
WASHINGTON CALLS FOR INFORMATION
Clerks Wreatllnst with Dlfllcalt Prob
lem, as Sanpllea Are ot Easily
Checked t n General
Army Notes.
The clerks In the ofTlce of the quarter
master of the Department of the Missouri
are busy endeavoring to ascertain the
amount of money expended by the quarter
master of this department on account of
the war In the Philippines since that war
broke out. Thla work la being done In re
rponse to a telegram received from General
Ludlngton, quartermaster general of the
army, who has asked for specific Informa
tion as to the expense of rail transporta
tion for troops, recruits and civilians pay
able from the army transportation appro
priation. Including the cost of transporting
all impedimenta and baggage accompanying
the troops; to ascertain the cost of trans
porting all army supplies not accompanying
troops which were shipped from this de
partment to the Philippines, and also the
cost of all material and supplies purcbssed
In this department for the use of the troops
In the Islands excepting the clothing and
equipment of the soldiers.
The work Is not only tedious, but an exact
result Is difficult to obtain on account ot
the distribution of supplies. About a year
ago 6,000,000 pounds of oats and large quan
tities of hay were purchased for the use of
the army In the Philippines, but It waa
later understood that a part of this pur
chase was sent to the troops In China, so
It will be difficult to ascertain what part
of the purchase should be Included in the
figures submitted, as the provender left the
department Intact consigned to Seattle,
where It was divided If any division took
place. Other supplies may have been
handled In the same way, ao that it will be
practically Impossible to secure exact fig
urea from the records of the Omaha office.
The Information desired Is on account of
a resolution adopted by the Philippine In
vestigation committee of the senate, which
Is endeavorlcg to ascertain the cost of the
war In the Orient. It will require the work
of practically all of the clerks several days
to secure the data, as each transportation
account will have to be examined.
Notes from the Department.
Captain McCUntock, aide on the staff of
Oeneral Bates, returned Friday evening
from the rifle range on the Winnebago
agency. He says that the site aelected la
excellent, but that no target practice has

Soma gallery shooting Is done after the
wind abates in the evening. The troops
are now removing material from the rail
road to the range and by next Saturday
will be ready for regular work.
An order will be Issued Instructing Major
Yeatman and the headquarters of the first
battalion ot the Twenty-second Infantry
now at Fort Robinson to take quartera at
Fort Reno upon the arrival ot the detach
ment of the Tenth cavalry at Fort Robin
son. Upon the arrival ot Major Yeatman

Festive Swindler Manages to Collect
TwelTe Thonsnnd Dollars by
His Tricks.
NEW YORK. May 3. Armed with a let
ter of credit similar to the one Issued by
the National Hotel Keepers' association
and witb his identity concealed under seven
aliases, a swindler has cleaned up about
$12,000 from hotel keepers in middle west
ern and eastern cities with bogus checks
drawn on the Earl Fruit company ot Cali
fornia. The aeven namea given by the
man were: L. O. Hoffman, C. A. Cotterall,
Jamea Bailey, A. B. Webster, W. O. Bis

the cities in which he operated Included
Portland, Me., Boston, Albany, Springfield,
Mass., Syracuse, Indianapolis, Troy, Buf
falo, Pittsburg, Springfield, O., New London
and Hartford, Conn.
Edgar A. Walse, president ot the Hotel
Men's association was still getting reports
from the swindler today, and when they
are all in be promises to tabulate them.
The swindler played the same game
everywhere, except at Buffalo, where be
showed a letter of credit purporting to be
endorsed by George C. Boldt of the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel of New York. The po
lice of every town in the country having
a population of more than 10,000 persons

FOR MARKING OF BAD MEN

CHIEF DONAHUE TALKS OF THE PROJECT
While Attending National Convention
Omaha's Representative Will
Also Invrailsate the
Three-Shift System.
Chief of Tollce Donahue will leave Mon
day for Louisville, Ky., to attend the na
tional convention of chiefs of police, of
which he Is a director. The convention
will begin Wednesday and be In session
tour dsys.
"One of the principal questions that
will be discussed," said the chief, "will
be the bill pending In congress for tha
maintenance of the national bureau
or Identification. We desire the
appropriation made, but we also want
the matter kept out of politics.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a auperlntendent by the attorney
general, to be approved by the board of
dlrectora of our association. It means a
great deal to us and to the efficiency of
the bureau as to who the superintendent
and his assistants are to be. We are
afraid that In time to come the offices
might be given to persons not competent. In
order to pay political debts, and It la of
the utmost Importance that the super
intendent and bis aselstsnts be men
thoroughly posted In the business. At the
present time there are about 60,000 photo
graphs In the collect lou In Washington,
with a description of each man. Wi
Identify a man from his description more
than from the photograph, and should the
least error be made In tho description It
vould ru:n the Identification, hence theahso-
lute necessity of having every man employed
In the bureau thoroughly competent and
familiar with the work. I believe the men
should be selected by the board and rec
ommended to the attorney general."
Contest for Xext Meeting.
Washington, Los Angeles and Colorado
Springs are making a fight for the next
meeting of the convention, and as all three
places made a good showing last year for
this meeting, the contest promises to be
spirited, though at the present time Wash
ington seems to have the lead.
Chief Donahue will Investigate thoroughly
the three-shift or eight-hour-a-day plan
and if It has proven satisfactory In other
places be will make an endeavor to have
It Introduced here. "My Idea." said the
chief, "Is to have a small shift go on f.-om
S o'clock in the morning until 4 In the aft
ernoon, as there Is very little to do be
tween those hours, and only a small force
Is required. From 4 until midnight is tho
time that the largest crowds are on the
streets and more men are needed, and we
could double the force. Then from 12
o'clock until 8 In the morning have a email
force, all the men being available for emer
gency," MORE GRADUATES THAN EVER
