III. I I.H IWIMIIWWMMMI
BOULEVARD TO CUT OFF LAKE
Beginning of Flan for This ImproTement
Comes Up Throngh Park Bond.
TO CONDEMN AND BUY THE PROPERTY
' Jw Drlvaway to R Et from
ICoants Park mt Twcnltetk
ad Pinkner to th
Top of III off.
Th Park board decided upon two Impor
tant matters at a speotal meeting held Sat
urday morning. One Is to condemn and
buy all the property between the southeast
boundary of Rlvervlew park and the Mis
sour river, amounting, it Is supposed, to
about 800 lots, owned by J, H. Dumont. The
other Is (or the construction of a new
boulevard to run east from Kountse park
at Twentieth and Plnkney streets to the top
of the bluff tract, then south along the
bluff to Locust street, the future acquire
ment of a beach on Cut Off lake or part of
the lake being In view.
The Rlvervlew park proposition was or
dered submitted and recommended to the
council, which hue Jurisdiction, and the
UlufT Tract boulevard idea was plaoed In
the hands of the committee on the designa
tion of ground, which will make a detailed
Investigation of available property, grades
snd exact lines and report back as early as
possible. It Is said that nearly all of the
proposed boulevard will fun through vunt
acre property. It Is the beginning of a plan
for a boulevard to and park at Cut Off lake,
which Commissioner Cornish baa urged for
years.
Reasons for Addltloa.
The reason why an addition to Rlvervlew
park Is deemed desirable Is set out at
length In a report made to the board by
Commissioners Qonden, Mills and Craig, the
committee on the designation of grounds,
which Is aa follows:
The committee on designation of grounds,
to whom was referred the communication
IL Dumont, trustee, dated April W.
16, offering to sell to the city, as a pait
of the system of parks, parkways and
boulevards, the lots In Hlvervlew Park ad
dl'iua to said city, which lie between
the lands and right-of-way of the Omaha
& Southwestern Hallway company and the
top of the bank of the Missouri river, for
ou each, subject to the taxes for 14H.6. and
certain lots ln the river for the nominal
price of 6 each, subject to all unpaid
taxes, beg leave to report:
First That It is very desirable that the
lands lying between Hlvervlew park and
the Missouri river should be acquired as a
part of the park system of the city. The
distinctive teature of Hlvervlew park,
which gives It Its name and its beauty. Is
the view It commands. To a person stand
ing in the park it appears to be bounded
on the east by the bluff on the Iowa side,
on the south by Child's Point, aud the
west and north by the bluffs upon which
the beholder stands, and to contain within
its borders Lake Munawa, the Missouri
river and the beautiful fields and woods
along its banks.
If the lands lying between the park and
the Missouri river were always to remain
as they now are there would never be any
necessity for acquiring more lands In that
vicinity. It Is unreasonable to suppose,
however, that the owners of the bottom
lands will allow them always to He Idle
and unproductive. The natural use to
which tl.ey should be put ln order to maku
them prontable is sites for manufacturing
enterprises or as a railroad yard. Should
smoky factories be constructed between the
park and the river the beauty of the park
would be gone forever. To protect the
park the people would lie required to buy
both the lands and the factories that may
be built, no matter what the Increased cost
thereof may be. It seems, therefore, the
.part of pruJence that while these lands are
still unproductive and cheap they should
be acquired.
Second Your committee further reports
that the only feasible way of acquiring
said land Is by comtf mnatton proceeding,
ln which the value of the land could be as
certained by appraisers and the cost
thereof paid by properly owners especially
benefited.
Your committee therefore recommends
that that portion of Hlvervlew Park ad
dition to the city of Omaha lying east
and south of the lands owned by the
Omaha A Southwestern Hallway company,
being the right-of-way of said railway
comiiany, and the lands acquired and used
as yards by said railway company, and
between said lands and the Missouri rlvor,
and also that portion of Rlvervlew addi
tion to the city of Omaha, Neb., lying east
of the rlghlz-of-way of the Omaha It South
western Railway' compnny. to the Mis
souri river, le declared necessary as addi
tion to the system of parks, parkways and
boulevards of the city of Omaha.
All of the present officers and committees
of the board were re-elected and consider
able minor and routine business disposed of.

FINEST RECEPTION . EVER YET
Big Time la Store for Graduates from
the Hlgk School This
Year.
Arrangements have been completed by
the executive committee of the Omaha
High school alumni to tender the pres
ent graduating class at the Millard hotel
June 1 the "finest reception ever given to
high school graduates." Unusual interest
Is being shown by the older members of
the alumni association, because the annual
ball Is to be preceded by a banquet, at
which will be heard a welcoming address
by President Hamilton and response from
Curtis Lindsay for 1906. Warren 8. Hlllls,
toastmaster, has arranged regular toasts,
to be responded to by B. O. Lewis, Joseph
Bwenson, Judge Howard Kennedy, jr., and
Miss Wallace. The toast list Is short, so
that dancing may begin promptly at 10:10
p. m. The executive committee desires to
have all members of the alumni associa
tion who can be present hand their names
to Beaton Drug company, where tickets
may be had.
DEFREES IS AFTER EVIDENCE
Special Agent of Government Goes
West to Look Into Land
Fences.
Special Agent F. B. De Frees of the gen
eral land office has gone back to Alliance
to take up the work of investigating the
illegal fencing of the public lands. He will
be assisted In the work by Special Agents
Chambers and Nixon. It Is also incident
ally rumored about the federal building
that Mrs. Bessie Osborn, the witness who
took such a prominent part In the convic
tion of the Kraune brothers for Illegal fenc
ing of public lands, may be called upon to
assist the special agents, tn order that they
may avail of her phenomenal knowledge or
the lands situated la northwestern Nebraska.
REFORMER GETS IN TROUBLE
Temperance Advocate is Arretted, but
Released Upon Explaining His Case.
FOUND BY OFFICERS ON A BEER KEG
Story Is Be Was Endeavoring to Con
vince Two Convivial Pel.
lows of the Error of
Their Way.
Incidental to his work of sociological and
municipal investigation In Omaha Friday
evening Virgil Hlnshaw, a temperance re
former, fell into the hands of Detectives
McCarthy and Murphy, whom Hlnshaw
mistook, for confidence men. Hlnshaw was
at one time at Tenth street and Capitol
avenue trying to show Nels Samuelson the
error of his Intoxicated condition. The
fact that Hlnshaw took to his heels and
ran when the officers questioned him
strengthened the supposition that Hlnshaw
was "working a drunk," which charge was
placed against the temperance reformer at
police' headquarters, after a lively chase
by the officers. Hlnshaw had little trouble
In convincing Judge Berka as to his ante
cedents,, so he was discharged when ar
raigned ln police court.
The detectives testified they saw Hlnshaw
and a man named S. W. Smith, who was
also arrested, sitting on beer kegs at Tenth
and Capitol avenue.
"What la your nameT Where did you
come from? What Is your business?" were
the rapid fire questions put by Detective
McCarthy to Hlnshaw.
"In ' their citizens' clothes the officers
looked like confidence men to me, so I ran
away as fast as I could go," said Hlnshaw.
"I have heard of people being stopped on
the street, by strangers In large cities, and
when questioned Friday evening I thought
it would be best to make for the mu;i
populous streets without delay, and I did
so." ,
Mr. Hlnshaw says he has been In the
temperance reform movement for six years,
but Is a stranger in Omaha. Before leaving
for Lincoln Saturday he called on The Beo
and requested the publication of the follow
ing statement:
It has been discovered that the two sus
pects captured Friday evening by De
tectives McCarthy and Murphy, after re
sisting arrest, are not the characters they
were suspected of being- Besides, neither
gentleman was found In a saloon as at
flrrt circulated. Mr. Hlnshaw at first re
sisted the ofllcers, thinking them to be
confidence men, since they were disguised
as citlrons. Both men were declared not
guilty und dismissed by the police Judge.

REDICK DENIES THE WRIT
District Judge Refuses to Release
Mrs. Algoe on Habeas Corpus
I'lea Just Sow,
Judge Redick denied the writ' of habeas
corpus asked for by Attorney John O.
Yeiser on behalf of Mrs. Lillian Algoe at
the conclusion of the hearing of argument
Saturday morning. This was the practical
effect of the Judge's pronouncement, but he
allowed Mr. Velaer further time to present
authorities.
The court held not well taken the argu
ment of Mr. Yelser that the title of the
most recent act relating to punishment for
blackmail was too narrow to cover the pro
visions of the act Itself, and therefore was
deceitful as to the purpose of the act.
While the argument was proceeding I. J.
Dunn, formerly attorney for the Algots,
entered Judge Kedlck's court room. Mrs.
Algoe looked at Dunn and then significantly
smiled at Jailer Itoach, who had brought
her Into court. Dunn Ignored his former
client.
