A lift of real estate owners and agent

being prepared by tha pollca undar orders
from Mayor Moore. The mayor an
nounced that such a Hat waa nearly com
pleted. When It la finished It will be
placed In the hands of the newspaper and
the Civic Federation. It la part of the
campaign undertaken by the administra
tion to compel Immoral women to move
Into the prescribed district or leave the
city.
"I think this will have a more direct
effect than any other atp . toward incur
lng compliant with tha general order,"
aald the mayor. "Last year I gave orders
to Insist that all prostitutes be confines
to the burnt district. I have been holding
off In some Instances from compelling
obedience beraune the. women must havo
places to stay and the district Is crowded,
there not being sufllcient buildings to take
care of them all. Many bave left the city
and have moved, not all of them, however,
in the direction in which they were or
dered to gov Now that all have had more
than sufficient 'time to get quarters the
police will carry out the orders to the
letter.
Minimum of Vice Here.
"Notwithstanding the repeated assertions
of the Clvlo Federation to the contrary, I,
as mayor of Omaha, declare there Is less
crime',' vice and Immorality In Omaha
than any other city of Its slse In the
country. Police records and general ob
servation proves It
"With regard to the confinement of im
moral women In the burnt district t will
say that the recent steps In that respect
have not been forced by the Clvlo Fed
eration. The move was begun last year
' and the raids that are being made Is
merelv the culmination.
"There have been no wine rooms open In
this city for the lust six months to my
knowledge' and there are none now, so
far as f. know. If I am wrong all that
is necessary to have them closed Is for
the proper Information to be laid before
me. .,,...
"I am Inclined to believe with Rev. Mr.

PLEADS IN VAIN FOR CHILD
Abaadoned Woaaan Asks Police for
Dead (Ulster's Mttle Oae,
Takes from Her.
Mrs. Novak, whose home at 1515 Daven
port street was raided by the police a
night or two ago and where a child of 7
was found, went to the police station
Wednesday night and asked that the girl
be returned to her. When told that the
Child Baring Institute had care of th
child the woman put her hands to her
face and sobbed bitterly.
"My God, my God," she said, "It was
my dead slater's child; give her back to me,
please give her back to me."
Though the woman has figured on the
police register more than once and is said
to reside among the lowest cIars of women,
her love for the child-seemed real. She
said the child had a father living In the
west but would not give his address as she
thought he might attain knowledge of the
sltuatfon his daughter Is placed In and
take her away. Tho woman had with her
Some of the child's clothing and a little
ragged doll which she said had been
"Tony's" favorite. John Tuma, one of her
boarders, accompanied her to the police
station and said the child waa receiving
proper care from Mrs. Novak and did
not come In contact with any low women.
KNOCKS OUT OMAHA REUNION
Action at Kearney Has Effect of
Changing- Arrangements for
Fall Meetlaa-.
The action taken by the Nebraska en
campment Grand Army of the Republlo at
Kearney Wednesday In discontinuing th
practice of holding state Grand Army re
unions will have the effect of abandoning
th plan for a stats reunion In Omaha this
fall. However, the Douglas County Veter
ans' association has not abandoned the plan
and it was only waiting the action of the
department encampment before definitely
deciding upon holding a county reunion of
old veterans here this fall. The association
will meet Monday, June 6, to decide upon
tha matter. It was the intention of the
Douglas county association to Join In with
th state reunion, but should that project
be abandoned, as It now llkeJy will be,
Douglas county veterans will hold a re
union anyhow.
Tha stata reunions have been deteriora
ting In Interest more or less for several
years because of the growth of the district
reunions and the final abandonment of the
state reunion will be approved by Grand
Array men all over the state.

DAY ADVOCATES SEW JAIL
Judge Thinks Bttr Building- 8 bold B
Ereottd by Conntj.
OLD PRISON Kf PT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE
Makes Visit of I a .pert ion and Finds
Km Boons for Complaint with Man
agement, bnt "tract are
la Inadequate.
i
In accordance with a provision of the
statutes of this state. Judge Day baa made
a tour of inspection of the Jail and Its
surroundings. 80 far as is within the
power of the sheriff to control, everything
was found in the beet of condition, scrupu
lously clean and, the prisoners in as happy
and contented a frame of mind as men in
their position could well be.
A notable Incident of the trip through
the gloomy oorrtdors waa the smile of
pleasure and good feeling that lit up the
usually sinister faces as the Judge, before
whom nearir all of them had appeared and
many been sentenced, made his appearance
and was recognised. Many pressed eagerly
forward with a proffered hand extended
and In no Instance was the humble greeting
Ignored. Many were the requests for as
sistance and relief that were poured into
his ear, and to each he gave such hearing
as the limited time at his disposal al
lowed. The most material fact demonstrated by
the inspection of the Jail was Its utter In
adequacy for the requirements of th
Douglas county of today. In the main body
of the structure Is one large steel cage,
practically unbreakable, but of unique
design, that, by crowding. my be made
to do service for forty-eight men. Thus
filled, six men must sleep In one small cell
and the whole number get what of exer
cise they have In a corridor scarcely four
feet wide by about thirty long. This cage
consists of two tiers of cells constructed
of steel bars with steel floors and callings
and tha whole within an outer cage of
coarse wire mesh to prevent any outsider
who may call upon a prisoner from pass
lng through to him any firearms or other
weapon.
Meana of Jones' Escape.
It was from one of the upper cells In
this cage that Jones, a noted horse thief,
made his escape four years ago.
In the first compartment of the east wing
of the Jail Is a large room on the ground
floor, used In common by all the prisoners
Incarcerated In this part, while above are
the ceils which they occupy at rilght. In
one of these Is James J. Reed, the con
vlcted murdot-er of Glenna Hlnes. .
Boms of the "bootlegging" Indians, re
cently convicted In the federal court, r
also confined In this part of the Jail. In
th extreme end of the wing are tha cells
for the solitary confinement of especially
dangerous snd desperate criminals. They
are steel cages, sight feet square, set in the
center of steel bound rooms of about twice
the size, and completely separated from
even the noises of the other parts of the
Jail, as well as the sight and sound of
the outside world, by massive steel doors
and thick walls. It was from on of
these that a negro was taken by an angry
mob some years since and lynched In front
of the Boyd theater.
Woman's Portion Also Clean.
Th women's portion of the prison, In
the wing facing Harney street, also was
visited and found to be In the sam clean
and orderly condition as the rest. There
are now nine inmates,. Including Ella
Hurst, the kleptomanfeo . domestlo, .whose
case and condition at-this time are partic
ularly pitiful.
"What ought to be done," said Judge
Day, as he took a long breath of the out
sldft air, "Is for the county to buy th
vacant lot opposite the present Jail, on
the corner of Seventeenth and Harney
and erect a new structure large enough
for Its needs. That lot would allow the
building of a Jail yard, which, beside
providing a place for the prisoners to
work and to exercise, would lessen the
chsnces of any ' escapes from the I net!
tutlon. It would be a comparatively easy
matter to build a tunnel .from a Jail so
located to the court house and the chanoe
for the delivery of any prisoner going to
or from the courts that now exists would
be done away with. It Is only a question
of time when enlarged quarters for not
only the Jail but for the courts must be
provided, and it probably could be done
cheaper now than at any time ' In the
future. I do not know of any change In
the administration of the affairs at th
Jail that my Inspection of it auggeata I
think it is run about as well as it can
bo under th circumstances."
C.S.LOBINGIER DELAYS ACTION
Withholds Aeeeptanco of Philippine
Judgeship I'ntll Formal Notice
Is Received.
C. S. Lobingler, the Omaha lawyer who
has been appointed Judge of the court of
first Instance In the Philippines, Is with'
holding his acceptance of th plac until
the formal letter of notification arrive
from the bureau of insular affairs at
Washington and he obtains mora particu
lars concerning the appointment. Aside
from the presa dispatches Mr. Loblsgier's
Information consists of a telegram from
the department at Washington stating the
fact and advising that a letter will follow.
The court of first Instance In th Island
is a federal court of general Jurisdiction,
ranking next to the supreme court snd
above th provincial courta - Th minimum
salary paid lta Judges Is 13,600 in gold, with
a maximum of (5,000, according to th dls
trict in which the incumbent Is situated.
While Mr. Lobingler has been .desirous
of obtaining a plac of th kind, he has
not been an active candidate. Recently
Jams H. Blount, Jr., of Georgia and Prof.
Johnson of the University of Michigan law
school were named as Judge of the court
of first instance.
"I think the Philippine islands afford
great opportunities," said Mr. Lobingler,
"not only from the standpoint of th In
dividual, but in this case from th pos
sibilities of good that can be accomplished
in the establishment and administration of
our form of government and Institutions
there. Careful and painstaking work will
have to be done and a great deal of. it. I
am pleased to have been selected as Judge
of the court of first Instance, but cannot
say positively whether or not I shall go
until I know more about the conditions
surrounding the post."
