TITE 0MA1TA DAILY REE: SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1005. 11 BREEN CONDEMNS HAND LAW Citj AttsnuT Ainerts it is Vicious nd Not Objectionable to Autoiits. SAYS CHARTER MUST TAKE PRECEDENCE Think Aatomoblll.ts May Hare Had Hand ta Piai of the Bill bj Legislature Last Winter. and Grace street It Is Bald he utarted diagonally across the street ahead uf the lst-r, to be knocked over by the ap proaching car. The car proceeded about 125 feet before beln stopped. It la stated. The Injured boy la a nephew of Thomas Deinlson. City Attorney Breen has notlned local au tomoblllsts. who asked him about the mat ter, that the legal department will Insist upon the registration of motor cars and the payment of the II fee under an ordinance governing; the whlzx wagons, regardleaa'of the Hand law enacted by the last legisla ture. The Hand law provides that all automo biles In the state shall be registered with the secretary of state upon the payment of $1 fee and forbids local legislation to regulate the machines by any city, town or village. Resides tills the measure seeks to nullify all ordinances or local regulations on the subject, so as to leave the state law the sole mandate In the premises. When this section was discovered by the city attorney It provoked a suspicion In his mind that the act, which on the sur face teemed aimed at autolBts, In reality might have been originated by them. A study of the law showed the speed limit In well built up parts of cities and towns J Is ten miles an hour; for less thickly pop- . ulated districts inside municipal limits, I nrteen miles ana in tne country twenty miles. The Omaha ordinance qn the subject pre scribes a speed not greater than eight miles an hour In the district bounded by Leavenworth, Twentieth and Nicholas streets, and twelve miles an hour outside. This comparison further shook the attor ney's faith In the Innocence of the Hand law and he became somewhat vexed. Calls It a Vlcloan Law. "This law Is vicious," Laid he, "because It strikes at the Inherent right of cities to control tralHo on their own streets. The old and new rhnrter expressly provides that the city may properly regulate all vehicles propelled by various kinds of power, but tlio Hand law attempts to tako away this authority. Inasmuch as tho new charter and the automobile law were approved on the same day, April 3, the supremacy of the charter on this point Is not as clear as 1 would like to have it, but I think I could carry the contention In court and that Is exactly what I propose to do If the automo blllsts do not comply with the ordinance, take out permits and govern themselves lust aa though the ordinance had undis puted power and effect. "There Is nothing In the Hand law, so far as I can see, that an automoblllst should seriously object to. The provision requiring a motor car driver to stop and allow ner vous horses to pass at a signal from the driver of the latter can hardly be consid ered obnoxious. In fact, I have a lurking suspicion that tho automoblllsts like the 'aw, even If they did not have some kind nf a part In Its origin and' passage. "The law takes effect July 1. It Is not nearly so stringent in many particulars as the Omaha ordinance on the subject, which I expect to enforce." ACTIVE HUSTLE FOR MONEY Y. M. C. A. Works Loral Field and Bends East for Building Fnnds. As an encouragement to those who are raising the funds for the new Young Men's Christian association building In Omaha, the secretary of the association at Day ton, O., hn written to Secretary Wade of this city giving the results of the recent campaign there. The association Is now ready to build a f350.mo building, and $250,000 of the funds for the purpose has been subscribed In the enmpnlgn which was finished Thursday. Resides this they secured a $100,000 lot from a phllanthroplcally Inclined woman, who also gave $100,000 for educational work en dowment. Secretary Wade telegraphed con gratulations on behalf of the Omaha asso ciation. C. S. Ward, International field secretary, left Thursday evening for eastern points to attend two student conferences for the purpose of Interesting young men In asso ciation work. He will return In a few days to assist In the subscription work here.

THREE YEARS FOR KIRKMAN President Approves Findings of Two Courts-Martial in Officer's Oast, TO SERVE TIME AT FORT LEAVENWORTH O fllcer Who Has Caused Much Work (or Judge Advocate's Depart ment Will Be Dismissed (rout Service. WASHINGTON, June 18. The president has approved the findings In two trials of Captain George W. Kirkman of the Twenty fifth Infantry, sentencing him to dismissal from the army and confinement In the penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for three years. Kirkman was connected with the sensational cose resulting in the suicide of the wife of Lieutenant Chandler at Omaha. The trial of Captain Jilrkman was on sev eral charges and a host of specifications, alleging conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman, falsifying his pay accounts und drunkenness being among them. His first trial took place early the present year and a continuation finally was obtained to May 10, to permit him to procure certain deposi tions from Manila, where he proposed to show that he had become Insane through sunstroke and that his misconduct was owing to that cause. After the adjourn ment of that trial the Mrs. Chandler epi sode occurred, resulting In the suicide of that woman in Omaha In April last. It de veloped In the investigation of the suicide of Mrs. Chandler that the estrangement be tween her and her husband was owing to Captain Klikman's Invasion of Lieutenant Chandler's domestic relations and another court-martial was ordered for the trial of Kirkman. It was this last court-martial, embodying the general charges of the first and adjourned court-martial, with addi tional charges growing out of the Chandler affair, that has just resulted In his dis missal from the army and his prison sen tence. Captain Kirkman Is a relative of promi nent railway magnates of Wisconsin and every effort was exerted by these powerful Influences to mitigate his sentence and per mit him to resign from the army, but with out effect.
