A baby fac dually prmwd against Its

Ibat mad the whole world kla In pollc
court Wednesday mornlnf. It waa on of
the most pathetic little drama ever enact!
befor Police Judge Berk.
Standing; before the police magistrate, a
prisoner, waa C'barle Dutch of (14 South
Seventeenth avenue, charged with Ineult
In Wrl" on the street. Two -year-old girls,
Helen Clark and Helen Ryan, had Just tea
tilled In a moat convincing manner against
butch. Tba Judge waa about to announce
tha sentence when a motherly appearing
woman wended her way through the motley
crowd and timidly approached the Judge'!
dank. Unversed In tha way of tha police
court aha told Patrolman Van Duaen, who
mad tba arrest, that aha w la bed to apeak
ta tha judge,
Tha woman who bad a measag to de
liver waa Mrs. Mollie Ryan of 810 South
Eighteenth afreet and mother of one of
tha glrla who testified that Dutch aocoated
them In an Improper manner. Tha Judge
told tha woman to aay whatever might be
oa her mind.
Mrs. Ryan took her place before tha
Judge. Beside her, with hla face oovered
with bla hands, waa Dutch! behind her sat
Mrs. Dutch with her t-waek-old baby. Tha
Judge waa all attention.
Wlfa aad Mother's Plea.
"Judge, I am the mother of one of those
glrla, but when I look at that little mother
sitting there with her tiny Infant I am
moved to ask you' to let tha prisoner go,
not that ha la Innocent, but for hla wife
and baby's sake. Tell him. Judge, when
ha Is Inclined to be bad to think of his wife
and baby, to go and look into their facea.
Olva hint a lesson, but do not separata
him from his family. The wife has told me
she will hare to place the baby tn some
Institution If her husband Is sentenced.
Mrs. Dutch ta a at ranger to me and so Is
her hasband. I am a mother and so Is that
little woman there. It Is for her sake I
appeal."
. The drop of a pin could have been heard
In tha court room before Mrs. Ryan had
finished her mesaag. Dutch gave vent to
tears and tha little mother clasped her baby
closer. '
"I will impose tha nominal fine of 15 and
coats," waa the Judge's reply, which was
virtually a discharge, as the charge with
which Dutch was tried la one of the moat
serious within the Jurisdiction of the pollc
Judge.
Dutch has been out of work for some
time, he testified In court. It Is said efforts
will be- made to have the fine remitted by
the mayor, on the understanding that the
experience will be a severe lesson to Dutch.

MAYOR WILLSIGN WARD BILL
Knows of No Reason Why He Shoald
Kot Approve Coaacll'a New
Ordlaaace.
The ordinance redisricting the city of
Omaha is now up to the mayor, having
been passed unanimously by the city coun
cil Tuesday night and it Is expected the
mayor will affix his signature moat any
time.
"I don't aee why I shouldn't sign It."
said the mayor, "there seems to be no ob
jections to It and ths high moguls say It
Is all right, so why should I bother myself
about objecting."
To find out Just where they are the
voters will have to study the map. Every
ward haa been tampered with and only
close study of the new ordinance will enable
residents of old wards to get the lay of
the new lines. Where there were formerly
nine wards there are now twelve and where
ther were formerly . oeventy-slx voting
precincts there are now fifty-four. The
new wards are divided into voting pre
cincts aa follows: - First, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth, Eleventh and Twelfth wards have
four precincts each; while th Second,
Third. Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth
have five voting precincts each.
In compiling th ordinance and laying
out the precincts the legal department
took th registration, 21,000, and divided that
number by the total number of machines
purchased which give a little less than
400 voters to the precinct. The lines were
then laid out according to population and
not In accordance with,. land area. The
council and legal department think the
ordinance Is aa fair as It could be made and
that It does not give political advantage to
any one party.

"Pardon me," she said, as she broke

The president of the council gasped and

"I merely want your name and 10 cents,"
she said, "and I will send you the book a

Zlmman spelled It and handed out his

OBJECT IS TO PROTECT PETERS' MILLS
Coastrartloa ot These Plaats Will Go
Forward Now that the Water
Faellltle Hav Beea
Provided.
Acting upon an order Issued by the roavor
and council, water hydrants have been lo
cated at Twenty-seventh and B. Twenty-
eighth and B and Twenty-ninth and B.
isotlc that these hydrants were In service
was received by th city clerk Wednesday
afternoon.
Th object of locating these hvdranta Is
for th purpose of furnishing water and 1
fir protection to th M. C. Peters cereal
mills. When Mr. Peters asked th city
council to vacate certain streets and alleys
In th northern portion of the city he also
asked for water. Now that the water haa
ben turned on the construction oi the
cereal mills will go forward rapidly.
A great deal of work has already been
don by th Peters company. Barns for
hay and alfalfa are under construction and
work has been started on the brick boiler
house. A eteel tank la being erected to hold
molasses, which Is a part of the stock food
product turned out by this concern.
Grader are wanted to do soma work for
th Burlington, which is to lay a single
track on Twenty-ninth street from A' to D
streets. At th present tlm most of the
graders In th city are working and cannot
get away to do this work. About t.000
yard of dirt I to be moved and officials
of th Burlington road were In the city
yesterday hunting up a grading outfit that
could go to work at once. This mill when
completed will add on more to th Indus
tries of South Omaha and the expectation
Is that mor mills of a almllar nature will
soon follow.
Will Bay Patrol Wagon.
Officials of the city have Investigated th
needs of the police department enough to
recognise that a patrol wagon is needed
and on will be purchased as toon as th
new fir department headquarters are ready
for occupancy. Chairman Maason of th
Police board seems to think that a one
horse wagon will be sufficient, but council
men are opposed to anything of the kind
and will purchase an up-to-date wagon and
a team. This will necessitate the hiring of
a driver and a conductor, making tpur ad
ditional men, two for day and two for
night duty. The team and wagon will be
housed at fire department headquarters and
the cost of maintenance will come out of
the fire and police funds.
When a patrol wagon Is plnced in service
officers on beats will not be compelled to
walk prisoners to the police stlttion, but
can send In a wagon oal! from the nearest
patrol box. Thla will give patrolmen more
time on their beats and the service will be
greatly Improved by the Installation of a
wagon and a driver.
In addition to a wagon the police depart
ment need at leaat two mounted officers,
one for day and the other for night duty,
but this cannot be done with the amount
set aside by the council for police service.
Taxpayers get very little, really, for the
amount paid for police. Seventeen men
ar on the rolls at a coat of over S1.S0O a
month. Six uniformed men work days and
the same number nights, and theae can
cover but a very little territory. As laid
out now the . patrolmen's beats are on
Twenty-fourth street from A to Q. on Q
street, on L street and on Missouri avenue.
A man Is also detailed on N street, but he
stands liable to be (sed gway any minute.
"South Omaha ought., to have at least
twenty patrolmen," said Chief Brlggs. But
there is no' money to pay this number of
men.
Paperlagr Ichowl Hoases.
A contract has been let by the Board of
Education for tha papering of the Central

In order that the rooms may be ready
when the schools open next month. The
Janitors recently elected will report for

order that the buildings may be cleaned
and aired.
None of the additions to buildings will
be ready by September 1, The Corrlgan
