NELSON STIRS UP COUNCIL
Proposed Charter Amendments that Have
Aroused Opposition.
REMOVAL FROM OFFICE IS MADE EASY
I'roTlslon (or Suspension of Any
omcer of the City on Trivial
Complaints Is Objected to aa
Heine Revolutionary.
Members of the city council have Just
discovered that In the draft for a revised
charter prepared by Attorney W. T. Nelson
of the revision committee there are several
eottona that they don't like a little bit.
Some of them call the proposed laws "an
nrahlatlo" and all donounce them with ar
dent vigor. They ore going- to take the
matter up with the Douglas county delega
tion In the legislature In good earnest and
knock out the objectionable sections if
argument can do It. The city fathers
didn't suspect the charter revision com
mittee of such awful things and they are
extromely sorry now that they voted Mr.
Is'ol.nn Kioo for doing the work. They are
threatening to rescind the resolution with
out doluy, thus rendering vokt the protest
of former Police Judge Gordon and other
taxpayers.
How to Get Rid of Officials.
The chief of the proposed amendments
provides that the mayor and council shall
have concurrent Jurisdiction to remove any
. officer of the city, except the mayor and
council, upon the conviction of felony, for
corruption or bribery, drunkenness or neg
lect of duty or any malfeasance in office, as
provided by the laws applicable. It seeks
te arrange so that the district court may
remove from olllce and suspend during
trial any officer of the city, including mayor
und counclliiien, upon the complaint of
three or more electors or two or more
elective offloers. No more than ten days
is given to the accused to appear before
the oourt. and then he must show cause
, why lie should not bo Impeached and re
moved from offloa, Cuses of this kind are
to take precedence over civil cases. Dur
ing the proceedings the accused may be
suspended by the court and the mayor and
council may appoint "any competent per
son" to perform the duties of the office
and fix the proper compensation. If found
guilty of any inhibitions of the act or
guilty of malfeasance of office the accused
must be removed from office by the court.
What Makes Negleet.
Another section defines holding an offi
cial document referred for more than thirty
days, except In case of sickness, as "ne
glect of duty," or a removable offense.
Still another section provides for a tine of
110, to be deducted from his monthly pay,
for every councilman absent from a. regular
or special meeting or a Board of Equaliza
tion meeting, except for sickness. Even
then the councilman must be excused prior
to the meeting and granted a leave of ab
sence at the succeeding meeting. If his
follows vote for an appropriation and omit
the fine they are declared guilty of mal
feasance in office.
"The most Important section proposed
means that we would have a new council
and mayor every week If tt Is made a law,"
said a councilman. "Anyone can have a
councilman or mayor suspended at pleas
ure and someone else elected temporarily
In his place. This thing would turn our
municipal government Into a howling farce
and destroy every vestige of power or dig
nity that it has."

SNOW PLOW STRIKES TRAIN
Condactor Loady Csogkt ia Caboose
and Crashed to
Death.
A snow plow sent out on Thursday night
by the Chicago, SU Paul, Minneapolis A
Omaha road to open the snow drifts
plunged Into a freight train with fatal
effect. The freight was local No. 16 and
was battling with the growing drifts be
tween Sioux City and Omaha. Near Da
kota City there Is a sharp curve In the
road. The snow plow had been sent out
to clear the road and was making good
time. A cloud of swirling snow helped
to obscure the vision and the engineer
could not see the lights. Between 11 and
12 o'clock he approached the train, which
was slowing up. Before the engineer real
ized his danger he plunged Into the ca
boose of the freight. Conductor J. 8.
Loudy was In the caboose alone and be
fore he realised his danger the snow plow
was plunging Into the car. The conductor
was pinned to the side of the caboose and
crushed to death. The remains were taken
to Sioux City, where Conductor Loudy's
family Uvea. He la survived by his widow
and two children. Two members of the
" crew were Injured, but not seriously, by
being thrown from the train. The snow
plow was In charge of Engineer Wleberg.
. It Is claimed that owing to the snow and
j the bend In the road h could not see the
' danger signals In front.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Plans for Beautifying Eesidence Districts
Are Being Discussed.
PARKING STREETS ONE OF THE LEADERS
Many Cltlaens Have Already Beaan
the Work In Anticipation of an
Ordinance that Will Make
It Legal.
Within a short time he mayor and city
council will take up the matter of park
ing a number of streets. Bo far Twenty
third street, from F to J streets, has been
parked, but the Intention of property own
ers now Is to park the street from A to J
streets. There Is at the present time an
ordinance In force regarding the parking
of streets. This ordinance was passed on
July 16, 1888, and was signed by W. Q.
Bloane as mayor and Thomas Hoctor as
clerk. This ordinance provides that In
parking streets a llfty-foot street may be
parked ten feot; sixty-foot streets, twelve
feet; sixty-six-foot streets may be parked
thirteen feet; eighty-foot streets, sixteen
feet and streets 100 fset in width may be
parked twenty feet. On their own ac
count a number of property owners have
parked their streets with the expectation
that an ordinance will soon be passed mak
ing this permissible.
Some of the streets In the residence por
tion are considered too wide and the ob
ject of parking is to permit the planting
of trees and the location of flower beds
between the sidewalk and the curb lines.
If this is done as the property owners pro
pose many of the residence streets will
bo parked during the coming summer.
There Is also some talk of trying to es
tablish a boulevard in South Omaha, and
If tills Is done the parked streets will come
In for their share of the bencflts to be de
rived from the boulevard fund.
' Faneral of Ralph Sage.
Ralph Sage, one of the best known men
In South Omaha, as buried yesterday by
the members of Bee Hive lodge. Services
were held at the First Presbyterian church,
Rev. R. L. Wheeler officiating. The church
was crowded with friends and relatives
of the deceased and floral offerings were
something out of the ordinary. The pall
bearers were W. B. Wyman, B. E. Wil
cox, J. W. Hastings, Charles McAdam, J.
F. Schults and A. B. Farrer. At the grave
in Laurel Hill cemetery the Masons held
the final service over the dead. This cere
mony was In charge of C. C. Howe, master
of the lodge.
Will Let Snow Remain.
Mayor Koutsky said yesterday that he
had been asked a number of times why
he did not put men and teams at work re
moving snow from the streets. In reply
to this question the mayor said to a Bee
reporter last night that to move the snow
would cost about $1,600. There still re
mains In the street repair fund about II. SCO
and this must last until August 1. "I will
not permit an overlap In this or any other
fund," said the mayor. The snow will have
to mult and run off Into the sewers, for
I do not propose employing men and teams
to remove the snow from the Btreels or
sidewalks." It was suggested to the mayor
that he might give work to quite a number
of unemployed men In the removal of snow,
but this the chief executive refused to do
as he said that the money in the street
repair fund" would be needed In the spring
and summer. .

OMAHA A RIVAL o7 PARIS
Triumphs In Millinery Art Offered In
Omaha Only Fourteen Days
Later Than In Parts.
The first Importation of Paris hats ever
shipped from the center of fashion's world
direct to the port of Omaha was received
last week by Shelley, 1411 Douglas street.
This means, besides a tidy Increase In the
duties paid Into the local customs house,
that the fashion of the city no longer will
have to go east to get what Is really and
genuinely new from the French capital.
Heretofore Imported hatsdn Omaha have
been purchased ' through New York firms
In other words, only what was on exhibi
tion In New York of the Parisian stocks
was available to the merchant. Under the
new system Shelley's agent at 23 Rue Ser
ge re, Paris, selects what Is most desirable
from the varied millinery establishments
and sends them to Omaha, the Journey re
quiring but fourteen days.
Therefore, should the ladies of Paris be
come Infatuated with a certain shape or
new mode their sisters west of the Missouri
can follow before it is over und done with.
The first shipment, which will be followed
by others at Intervals, was a large one. It
arrived on the Arabic and there being no
government formalities until reaching
Omaha, where it was released from bond,
came through without deluy. The hats
themselves are tilings that no mere type
can describe and may be bad for prices

CLEANING UP CRIMINAL LIST
One Saturday Morning in Judge Cay's
Court Serves as Example.
DISPOSING OF THE MINOR PRESENTMENTS
Methods of Procedure by Which
County Attorney and Court Dla
putch the Business on an
Arraignment Day.
A Bpeclmen "clearing up" Saturday morn
ing in Judge Day's court, as noted down
while this Important wheel of the mills of
Justice is grinding at ordinary speed, offers
an interesting study.
The county attorney calls several men
for arraignment and as each man Is called
a deputy sheriff presents him at the bar.
The county attorney reads the informa
tion and then the court states to the pris
oner the penulty the law Imposes for the
crime charged.
"Albert McDonald, what do you plead to
the charge of larceny from the person
guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty."
Tlio ' prisoner being asked If he has a
lawyer or any money to employ one, and
answering no, the court names an attor
ney, who will be paid by the state. Some
of the best men at the bar are thus as-
j signed by the court and give to their
uiiiiiiu uueiius guuu aiiu lauuiui Dev
ice. Following McDonald this morning,
Arnold Solomon, a 16-year-old boy, ac
cused of Incorrigibility and sent to the
district court for commitment to the re
form school,
Judgo Day I will appoint Mr. Hodder
to look into the case and protect the
rights of .his boy. Mr. Bailiff, telephone
for Mr. Hodder.
The attorney was soon on hand and
had a long talk with the boy and his
father, J. J. Solomon, while other cases
were being disposed of. At the conclusion
of these the lad was again presented to
the court und Judge Slabaugh said it wan
his desire to avoid having the boy lay In
Jail and to keep him from getting into
more serious trouble.
Boy Saved for the Time.
Attorney Hodder also reported what he
had learned, which was that the Solomon
boy was Impatient of restraint, disobedient
and Inclined to keep bad company. The
father confirmed the statement, but agreed
with Mr. Hodder and a suggestion of
court that If given another chance he
might Improve. In that case they would
be only too glad to have him at home.
Judge Day This Is' a case where a Juve
nile court would be most useful. .Mr.
Solomon, I will take your bond for the
production of this boy In court If ws con
clude he should be sent to the reform
school, and that Is where he must go until
he is 21 if he does not behave himself.
The court said to the lad standing out
before the bench, and not reaching halt
way up: "You must go to school, stay
home at night and quit smoking cigarettes.
I am going to have Mr. Hodder keep track
of you, also the principal of the school you
should attend, and if you do tiit behave ws
will simply, have to send you where you
will be made, to do so."
The boy promised to do as the court ad
vised and went away with his father.
Judge Slabaugh then called the ease, of
State against George Carter and said to
the court:
, "ThlH man Is willing to plead guilty to
petty larceny, but I am convinced he is
not guilty and ask to have the case
nolled."
The Court We do not want Innocent men
here and I am surprised that they should
be brought here.
The County Attorney We will not hnve
any innocent person here any longer than
we can find out the facts. I am convinced:
we have no cose at all against this man,
who Is accused of purse snatching. We
have learned he Is honest and a steady
worker; that he has not been Identified
by the woman who lost the purse, and
that the looting was continued after his
arrest as before. . .
The Court Prisoner discharged; case
nolled.
Then came Attorney Murphy, appearing
for Robert Bruten, accused of Incest, to
get a ruling of the court on a demurrer
heretofore interposed to the complaint.
The Court I am going to sustain the de
murrer in this case and hold that the
complaint Is defective in not giving the
