bins wn added to the committee on logls
latlon anil J. Y. Craig to the pnrk com
mittee. Other Matter for Dlamsnloa.
The subjects of additional lights for the
streets, charities, public sanitation, will
be discussed In reports that the commit
tee state will be read at the next meet
ing. J. T. Craig read a report on trees and
transplanting. The practice of (tnnllnij
contractors soiling the streets while haul
ing earth was discussed and It was de
veloped that there Is an ordinance cover
ing the difficulty, and the Hoard of Pub
lic Works will be asked to enforce the
law ao aa to prevent this practice.
The Civic Improvement club, which will
hereafter be known aa the Omaha Improve
ment league, at the meeting held last even
ing In the rooma of the park board In city
hull, is about to 'undertake a campaign
against what Is called the growing evil of
billboards, and this not with the Idea of
wholly removing them, but for the purpose
of regulntlng their construction and the
character of the signs and pictures that
are or may be displayed on them.
While the committee that has the matter
In charge is not yet rendy to report a defi
nlte plnn of action with the recommenda
tions of the changes that should be made,
there waa some Informal discussion of the
question, all of which Indicated that the
league will oppose the boards that are
known as double-deckers; those that are
raised from the ground and those that ex
hibit pictures that are considered offensive
to good taste. In addition to the character
of some of the pictures, the league finds
cause for criticism In the fact that the
boards form a screen behind which a great
variety .of castaway articles are thrown,
thus 'assembling a collection of unsightly
refuse that Includes everything from
broken-down wagons to refuse that Is pos
itively of an unsanitary character. The
league proposes to formulate a definite plan
that will enable proceedings to be Insti
tuted In certain enss to prevent the abuse
the ,oague complains of. The committee
will probably have Its report ready for the
next meeting of the league.
Report on Street Railways.
The committee on street railways pre
sented a lengthy report. In which the
subjects of extensions, transfers, ventila
tion, the courtesy of conductors, the lay
ing of flagstones at crossings and the need
of additional cars during certain hours
were discussed. The report states that the
Omaha street railway system as a whole
Is as good as will be found anywhere In
the country, but the committee thinks that
. 'cerxain leaiures 01 inu wrvn-B aumii m
some Improvement. Extensions to River-
view park and Forest Lawn cemetery are
urged. The present system of transfers
waa commended as being good to the ex
tent now In practice, but the committee
believes the system could be extended so
as to admit of transfers being secured to
certain parts of the city on lines In addl
tlon to those on which transfers are now
allowed. The lack, of proper ventilation
jof the cars Is attributed to the failure of
employes to do their duty, as also the
failure of employes to be uniformly courte
ous to the traveling public. The report
states that some employes are dlsregardful
of the rules of the company In the matter
of treating pnssengers with due considera
tion. Attention was called to the prac
tice of some employes not holding their
cars at transfer points until passengers
have time to change from one car to an
other. The report urges that when, a car
Is comfortably filled It should not stop
for more passengers until room Is made
by passengers getting off. The committee
will present the facts to the management
of the street railway company and will
endeavor to have the conditions com
plained qf remedied.
Public Play Ground.
Frank Heller, chairman of the committee
on play grounds, read a report stating
that, a tract 132 by 160 feet had been se
cured at the northeast corner of Twen
tieth and Harney streets, that the bill
Ixmrds surrounding the tract have been
ordered removed, and that. Jackson Broth
ers have agreed to fill nml level the tract
free of charge. The telephone company
has promised to donate all poles needed
to equip the grounds with swings, turn
ing poles, trapeezes, merry-go-rounds and
other requirements Incident to making the

FRATERNAL ORDERS AWAKEN
Omaha Societiea Flan to Make New Holi
day for Members.
CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION IS ORGANIZED
General Gathering; of Members of the
Varlona Orders In Omaha for
Tito Days of Relaxation
In Mar.
The Frnternil Carnival association was
formed lost night at the Commercial club
rooms by eighteen representatives from
various fraternal organizations of the city
and it whs decided to hold a spring car
nival Thursday and Friday, May 28 and
2. The object Is to bring to Omnha hun
dreds of members belonging to thirty or
more orders in Nebrnska and Eastern
Iowa, and their families In order to pro
mote, the fraternal spirit and to provide a
holiday for all. It Is Intended to have
the affair a gala one, with street parades,
competitive drills, a grand ball and other
nttractlve features and to use every ef
fort and spare no expense to make .the
event worth coming miles to attend. Del
egates present nt the formation of the as
sociation were very enthusiastic over the
proposition and declare that It bids fair
to become an annual Institution, to be In
the spring what the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival
Is in the fall. They said with one voice
that It meant n long step forward In
cementing and making greater the spirit
of fratcrnallsm.
Officers of the Association.
John T. Yates of the Woodmen of the
World wns made president of the asso
ciation: James C. Lindsay of the Order of
Scottish Clnns, secretary; Frank L. Weaver
of the Royal Arcanum and Ancient Order of
ITnlted Workmen, vice president; John H.
Bexton of the Fraternal t'nlnn of Amer
ica, and employed at the First National
bank, treasurer. The chairman was au
thorized to appoint nn executive commit
tee of seven, which Is Intended to be the
spoke around which the preparations for
the carnival will revolve, and also to nnme
a committee of three to confer with the
railroads Immediately regarding special
rates. The officers were directed to pre
pare a circular letter to be sent to every
lodge, council, tent, camp, castle and
clan In Omaha. South Omaha and Council
Bluffs, asking that a representative be
sent to become part of the association
which will meet again next Saturday night
to put the finishing touches on the or
ganization nnd get down to real business.
What Mar Be Done.
"This Is an opportunity that the fra
ternal orders of this part of the country
cannot afford to let pass," said Mr. Yates.
"At this time we are assured of the sup
port of the newspapers nnd the business
men In this venture, and I am satisfied
It can be carried to a very successful
termination In a way that will redound
to the profit and credit of every order In
this territory, ns well as to afford a great
privilege for members to meet, become ac
quainted and relax from everyday cares
and monotonies. The thousands of mem
bers of the various orders can be reached
by the Omaha lodges, and I believe they
will pour In from all over Nebraska and
parts of Iowa In numbers that will sur
prise the most sanguine of us. It is a
proposition that may lead to much deeper
nnd greater things. All we have to do Is
to take tho matter up In earnest, work
hard, provide good attractions and tho
members of the fraternal orders and their
friends and families will do the rest. It
has often been said that no body of men
could carry off a thing of this kind more
successfully than the workers In the fra
ternal orders. The association Is open to
all and we shall be one In accomplishing
the results we have set out to accom
plish." Not a dissenting voice was raised to the
general propositions, and the representa
tives spent two hours planning the de
tails of organization and the business be
fore them. Frank L. Weaver, C. H. T.
Rlepen, Judge A. L. Sutton, James C.
Lindsay. Thomas Falconer, J. A. Beverly,
Dr. R. W. Connell, H. Lancaster and others
spoke In the most enthusiastic terms and
declared the move was one of Importance
to fraternal orders that could hardly be
appreciated In Its far-reaching Influence.

W. L. Hutchinson of the Maccabees and

It was explained that the circulars call

given to lodge memters addressed to ar
range to be present. Charles C. Rosewater
of The Bee assured the association of the
support of the newspapers In the under
taking and made a number of suggestions
regarding organization and the program.
The latter was left in the rough for the
committees to work out as best they see
fit after conferences with the railroads

GENERAL AGENTS NOT PLEASED
One Says that Answer of Mr.
Hyde is o Answer
at All.
NEW YORK, April 22. A number of
general agents and managers of the Equit
able Life Assurance society, who had been
attending tho recent conference In the
Hotel Savoy, visited the offices of the so
ciety today in conference with Gage E.
Tarbell, the second vice president of the
0-iciery. , One of the committee which
presented the conference request to Mr.
Hyde said today:
It is not true that Mr. Alexander was
the Instigator of the present controversy.
One year ago'Mr. Hyde hlmeelf sought to
hnvn the board of directors elect the nret
Ident nd authorise the latter to appoint
tho other officers of the society. My as
sertions about this Is substantiated by the
official records of the meeting of tho board
of directors when Mr. HyUa sought to put
his project through.
J. W. Estes of Chicago, one of the secre
taries of the conference of the general
agents and managers, said Mr. Hyde's
letter Instead of satisfying the policy
holders would make them more determined
than ever that the first vice president
should retire. Mr. Estes declared that Mr.
Hyde was not at all definite in his
answer to whnt the general agents and
the managers, reflecting the views of the
policyholders, were dissatisfied with. "Mr.
Hyde's presumed answer to the other side,"
said Mr. Estes, "is no answer to the policy
holders and does not tell them what they
want to know."
but his condition Is little changed from
yesterday.
FANATICISM" SEEN IN INDIA
British Colonel Is Killed by Natives
Banded Together to Exter
minate Knropeana.
CALCUTTA, April 22.-(Speclal Cablegram
to The Bee.) The Idea that fanaticism has
disappeared on the northwestern frontier
has been dispelled by another atrocious
murder. .
Mahsuds this week mode an attack on
four officers of a military corps which
resulted In the death of Colonel Harman
and the natives who committed the deed
openly boasted after being placed under
arrest that they had enlisted In the corps
for the express purpose of killing
Europeans.
From Rannu It Is reported that a man
of tho Dnrwesh Khel, another Wazlri clan,
made a savage attack with an axe on a
British officer, whom ho severely wounded.
The man was not a sepoy and his motive
had not been ascertained, but there Beems
no reason to doubt that it was similar
to that which prompted the Muhsuda.
The mysterious disappearance of severar
people In Orissa. southwestern division of
Bengal, coupled with a vow recently taken
by a native chief that ho would olter
human blood at the shrine of his goddess
If his wife were allowed to recover
from a serious Illness, has led the authori
ties to believe that the chief has found
means of carrying his oath into effect.
