Twenty-fiT owner of automobile as
sembled at tba Commeroial club laat night
and appointed a committee to aak tha
council to modify tba proposed ordinance
governing tba speed and equipment of tha
machine. Tha sentiment expressed wis
directed towards tha low speed limit, their
number and character of lights required
and tha demand tor an examination at
very driver by a board composed of mea
at preaert unacquainted with tha mech
anism and operation of autocars.
Tba meeting adopted a resolution offered
by John C. Wharton approving tha Invita
tion by tha Ak-Sar-Bea governors tor a
representation of tha automobiles In the
flood parade during carnival week, also
that an invitation should be extended to
owner of machines In Council Bluffs and
other neighboring cities and that all tha
Omaha car should turn out and oompeie
(or the prises.
Mr. Wharton announced that for the
awards twtt would be expended, $300 for
(our pi-lxas for autoa In the touring car
elaaa and S2M for tha runabouts, the first
prise for tha first ciaaa to be a t-W silver
cup and tha remainder cash. The ma
chines will be decorated with Bower.
Proceed laaa ( tha Meetlaa;.
Ourdon W. Watties presided as chairman
of the meeting and C. It Qratton per
formed the duties of secretary. Taik were
mad by Mr. Wharton, Mr. WatUas, Mr.
Grallon. Charles Ogden and J. J. Gibson
and others. The committee to confer wlta
tha eouocil Monday afternoon waa named
as follows: Q. W. Wattle. W. A- Saun
ders, John C. Wharton, Charles Ogden, it
B. Frederlckson and L l Kountse.
Mr. Wharton pointed out the tact that
tba ordinance proposed 1 almost Identical
and la modeled after tb one in affect In
Chicago. It la a mistake, h said, to at
tempt to enforce a law In Omaha that ap
plies to a city as large -a Chicago, Thers
la her nothing Ilk tha number of autoa
or tha congested trafflo that obtains In
Chicago, be contended.
Judge Ogden declared that all regulation
as to tha speed of vehicles should be the
same and that one class should not be
discriminated against. He remarked that
the sentiment against automobiles In the
ait and In Kurope had been brought about
by isckless driving by the owners of tb
Brat o-hchinaa. He urged ear and caution
In Omaha In order that an unfavorable
ySeiitimsnt would not be created.
Mr. Qlbe-Hi had considerable to say upon
the relative chances of frightening horses
with a gasoline machine driven at high
peed and at alow programs. The noise 1
much greater when running slowly, and
tt Is the part of wisdom to proceed swiftly
away from nervous animals rather than to
reduce speed with a giaat noise and fur
ther excite the horse. -
WerkJaar I tha Dark.
No copy of the ordinance was at hand
and tb conferees wr somewhat handi
eeped by this lack. It was the prevailing
opinion that five lamps are required.
whereas the number la but three. As to
light most of the speaker declared that
If placed on auto they should be placed
on carriage of all klnda In order to pre
vent collision In dark ' roadways. Tb
ton of the meeting was conservative, but
tha aix and eight-mile speed limit were
denounced aa Impracticable, and several
peaaar mentioned twelve mile a the
proper regulation. A conciliatory spirit
waa advocated by all speakers and the
exercise of unusual care until automobiles
were firmly establUned and understood In
Omaha.

by Oaa.
Charles JC Boydea was found dead In
the kitchen et hi residence at Mil South
Seventeenth street, about I o'clock yes
terday afternoon by a neighbor, Frank
Woods, who lives at H67 South Seventeenth.
Death resulted from asphyxiation by gae.
During the afternoon Mr. Woods, wife
of the man who found the body, went Into
her back yard, which la Just across the
fence from the Boyden home, for ome
purpose. Bh noticed a very strong odor
of gas and for some time could not locate
the source. She called a neighbor and
together they went Into the back yard of
the Hoydens. Ther the smell grew much
stronger. The two women tried to see Into
lb rear of the house, but could not suc
ceed In doing so, as the shutter to th
back window war all closed. Mrs. Woods
then summoned her husband and he broke
open the abutter and succeeded In raising
a window. When ha entered the kitchen
he found the dead man lying on the floor.
Boyden wit ha been out of the city
visiting, and durlr.g her absence he moved
a cot Into the kitchen, on which fee waa
sleeping. It was alongside this cot that
he was found. Both burners of a gas stove
were turned on full snd the gas was es
caping vary rapidly. Of course no one can
tell why the Jets were turned on, but it
I the supposition among th neighbor
that Boyden Intended cooking or heating
aome water and that he turned on a
burner with th intention of lighting it.
afterward changing hi plana, and that
b thea turned the other burner on. acting
under the supposition that he was turning
off the one already on. At least that 1
th only theory so far advanced. Nothing
waa found about th premises which would
Indicate that tt waa th Intention of th
man to commit suicide. .
Boyden was employed by tha Chicago,
BC Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha Railway
company as a clerk In th freight depart
ment at th Webster street station. Ha
waa expecting his wife borne last night,
having received word that she had started
from th west yesterday. She should have
arrived at i o'clock, but t a late hour she
had not been seen by any of th neighbors,
nor had ah called at the coroner's, where
th body la In charge of Coroner Bra I ley.
There waa a alight abrasion over Boyden'
right eye, which was noticed after he was
removed to the morgue. Tha injury, how
ever, was not of enough consequence to
cause death. It was probably caused when
th man Mil to the floor after being over
come by the gas. Coroner Bralley gave It
gs hi opinion that th man had not been
dead over two or three hour whea th
body waa found. The hour for th Inquest
ha not yet been decided upon and prob
ably will not be fixed until th arrival of
th dead man' wife. Boydea was a mem

terday afternoon after hearing a Utter
from E. D. Pratt. Jr.. read to them. Mr.
Pratt told th commissioner that they
would make a great Md for popularity by
furnishing greena In Miller park, which he
declared Ideal for the purpose. He pointed
out the healthful attribute of th game
and eald that free link would have many
habitue.
Th board talked It over and decided tt

the populace. Miller park. It was agreed,
should not be desecrated, a it had been
planted with tree ccordlng to careful
plans and la destined to becom a noble
wood within a few years. There U no ob
jection to has ball or tennis there, the
commissioner said, but no room for the
magnificent distance of golf.

rented for pastur or used to produce hay

No street cars run near It as they do to

"Fnntsnelle park would make an Ideal
golf course." said superintendent Adam.
Maybe If they got to playing golf out
there they could Induce the atreet railway
company to build a line there. Golf green
have to be cropped close and this would b
expensive. If ws had fl.OOO or tl.M0 to
spend for the purpose It would be all right
to construct a golf course, but we haven't
th money."
There wa some disposition on th part
of two of tha commissioners to hold that
public park are for public recreation and
that money expended for such purpose
would meet with the approval of the tax
payers and pleas them. But they said that
to build th link this year waa out of tb
question, because such a very small sum of
money has been given th department to
use. It will be nearly eaten up by main
tenance of the parks, a at present, and the

out the papers. The chief said that he
would file the charge with the secretary
of the Fir and Police board today.
In th first charge Shield I accused of
being asleep on duty. He waa called to
the Morrill fire and was asleep in a chair
in the city Jail. When awakened by Turn
qulst. the right Jailor, he waa too sleepy to
respond. Officer Kruger gave the alarm and
was at corner of Twenty-fourth and N

did not respond OfBcer Kruger walked down
to police headquarters and woke the captain
up. Both then went to the- fire. Witnesses
say that the eartain called his men off
at :30 o'clock to go to th Jail and answer
roll call.
Chief Biigg visited fir department
headquarter .and talked with Assistant

when they were most needed. I
These two chargea will b made and the
chief intimated last night that he would ;
add one and possibly two more. Witnesses ,
against Captain Shields were being se
cured yesterday and If the police boacd per

Officer Frank Morton, who has the repu
tation of being one of the best men on

yesterday and turned in hi star. He said
that h would not work under Captain
Shields. Continuing. Morton told the chief j
that there was entirely too much knocking i
