GATHERS SHIRRS CITT TAX Oiri Eekrmsr Refutes to Vest Jait Obligations Without Oomunlaion. HENN1NCS BRINGS HIM TO TIME. AT LAST Determined that Mas Who Howie "Graft" Shall Par Personal Taxes Due for Last Sixteen Year. "Grafting; at the city halt must atop," proclaims John, T. Cathers, reformer. "Tax shirking of property owners In Omaha must stop," dtolares August II. Hennlng-a. city treasurer It was feared that the great wave of civic reform set In motion by John T. Cathers who failed to get nominated for state sen ator a year ago and likewise had failed to secure from the city payment for claims he makes to certain city streets he has fenced In had received a fatal shock through the determination of Mr. Hennlngi to collect taxes due, without respect to persons, but later Cathers, under pressure of law, paid UP.... ... Reformer Cathers, Mr. Hennlngs , found, owed personal taxes for the period of six teen long years and In order to make him pay them the tax authorities planned to levy on his law library. The reformer refused to pay them without being forced. Despite all his fame as a reformer Mr. Cathers appeared to have a nervous air during his several trips to the city hall and court house Monday morning. He in quired anxiously for City Treasurer Hen nlngs, and In response to a Jocular remark front an old political friend murmured something that included the Infernal re gions as the scenario of whatever it was that passed in Mr. Cathers' mind. Such extraordinary action on the part of the dig nified "reformer," or watchdog of the city treasury," suggested an inquiry Into the cause of Mr. Cathers' perturbation. fathers Flies Into Kory. Early In the morning Collectors Ander son and Schamel of the city treasurer's of fice called upon Mr. Cathers In his office tn the New Tork Life building snd left with him a document known as a "distress warrant," served on persons who will not pay their share cf public burdens without being made to. Briefly it commanded Mr. Cathers at once to pay 1152, due in personal taxen to the city treasurer, or suffer the de parture of such law oTflee books and furni ture and household goods as were thought sufficient to cover the debt. With visions ef the city treasurer's famous van before his- eyes, Mr. Cathers grew pale. The two collectors, one of whom at various Inter vals had tried to Induce Mr. Cathers to pay something on his bill, were frightened.

Mr. Cathers slammed the door on him and locked him inside, but released him after a period during which wrath poured from the reformer's lips like liquid fire from a seething caldron. Then Mr. Cathers started out to find Mr. Hennlngs for the purpose of doing an explanation stunt. Finally Pays lp. After remaining in possession of the Cathers law office until about 1 o'clock the amount of the taxes was paid over to Collector Bchamei, who then relinquished possession of the office. Previously Mr. Cathers had succeeded in finding the city treasurer, who had gone to the former's office to Insist upon the release of his col lector. An understanding was reached to the effect that If the taxes were paid before S o'clock the van would not be requisi tioned. Bchamei was locked In the office about an hour and a half. He had taken possession under the distress warrant. When Cathers wanted to leave he simply locked the collector Inside. "We have been trying for a long time to get Mr. Cathers to pay his taxes," said Treasurer Hennlngs. "He has promised time and again to do something, but failed. Now that he has squared up (under force of the law), he can make his 'reform' and 'graft' speeches with better grace. He now has some money of his own Invested in the city treasury to watch." Mr. Cathers' personal bill ran back to the year 1S81. and with interest amounted to 1152. He had made several small pay ments on it in the days of old, but nothing since 1901. WOMAN WANTS HER ALIMONY New York Wife Sues Husband for Payment Claimed on Divorce Halt Jvda-ment. Mrs. Almlna Mable of New Tork has filed a suit in the United States circuit court asking that her former husband, Charles E. Mable, now a resident of Omaha, be required to pay her $2,095 ali mony, which sum. she says. , is still owing her from him as a result of a decree of di vorce granted by the Illinois courts. 'The divorce was obtained in November, 1806, and he was to pay her $76 per month by order of the court. Up to September 1, 1905. there was due her from her former husband $2,325. of which only $230 had been paid. The balance he has persistently de clined to pay. The petition alleges that about four years ago Mr. Mabie left Illi nois for New Tork, where he remained for some time, and then returned to Illinois and then removed to Nebraska in June, 1906, locating in Omaha. The plaintiff al leges that she Is without remedy at law to enforce the payment through the courts of Illinois and that her former husband Is now lucratively employed and is able to pay her the alimony decreed to her. She asks that he be required to appear before this court and answtr why he should not be compelled to pay the deficient alimony with interest. Announcements of the Theaters. The annual visit of Blanche Walsh to Omaha Is always looked upon as a rare treat. This remarkable woman, who stands easily In the front rank of her pro fession, has Impressed her audiences al ways with her sincerity. Her last visits here were in' the terribly somber, but deeply Impressive "Resurrection." This time she Is coming in a lighter play, but one which calls upon her reserve force almost as much as did the Tolstoi drama. Clyde Fitch has supplied her with a drama of life one that is of genuine Interest. "The Woman In the Case" tells . of the rivalry of a good woman and a bad for the possession of a man. The bad woman tries to sacrifice him when she finds she can not hold him, and the good woman saves him. The third act is pronounced the most powerful Miss Walsh has ever been seen in. She will be at the Boyd with her supporting company on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The first of the professional matinees at the Burwood will be given this after noon. To these the management Invites the stsge people who may be sojourning in the city. The company Is winning its way with a splendid production of "The Girl I Left Behind Me."

City Engineer Roeewater says he ex pects to make the test of water pressure ordered by the Water board some day this week. The board has employed benesett Williams, a well known engineer-of Chi cago, to work with Engineer Koaewater. The .pressure will be tested la the effort to secure evidence to base the claim that the water company does not furnish the pressure specified la its contracts, and for this reason its bills for hydrant rental, or fire protection, anould be out down. SHAW TO ADDRESS BANKERS Secretary of Treasury Probably Will Make Speech at Kebrsika Association's Meeting.. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury, is expected to make an address before the Nebraska Bankers' association, at Its annual meeting, which will be held In Lincoln, October 24 and 25. Mr. Shaw has not given a definite promise, but at present knows of no reason why he should not attend the meeting.

CUT IN FORCE WILL BE POSTPONED Board Will Maintain Strenrth I'ntll After Horse Show and Then Re duce by Nearly- Half Inless Money Is Found, The touted public-spirited Intervention of the Ctsmrnerclal club In the police fund shortage did not manifest Itself at the Fire and Police board meeting last night. Nothing was heard from the club or any cltlxens about contributing to take up tho deficit. Up-to-date the only positive of fer of assistance that has been made Is that of Count Creighton who called up the chief of police on the telephone and said he wanted to give $500. , "We want It understood that this board Is not talking buncombe when it speaks of reducing tho police force to conform with the funds." said Commissioner Broatch. We are determined to act strict ly within the law. If by October 15 tbe police fund Is not replenished In som,e way we shall make the cut tn the police force that Js demanded." "We have agreed," said Commissioner Spratlen, "that It is better to keep the whole force during the Ak-Sar-Hen and Horse show, when the town Is likely to attract criminals. It Is better to have the whole force until October 15 than to let twenty-five men go now. After October 15, we will have to let off about thirty-five men unless assistance comes to the fund." City Attorney to Help. City Attorney Breen was present to talk finances. He said If the mayor vetoed the asphalt' repair appropriation as announced there will be left about $10,000 In the general levy fund. To get hold of part of this for the police department, Mr. Breen promised to try to scheme a scheme so that the law will not be violated. It seems that the commissioners have been paying for repairs at the police station and for other Sundry expenses out of the police fund. It may be that this Is all wrong and the city should have stood the cost out of Its general fund. If the latter be true per haps the amounts can be charged back and the police fund "reimbursed," like the fire fund was. Some Routine Matters. On the recommendation of Chief Donahue, a ten day's vacation with pay was given to Police Matron Etta Anderson, who will resign September 20, to marry Sergeant Rentfrow. During two years excellent ser vice, Miss Anderson has not taken her annual day's leave. Fire Chief Salter ruled against allow ing the fire department or any part of It to form a feature of the Ak-Sar-Ben day light parade and the commissioners backed him up. Patrolman J. J. Nielsen was fined two day's pay for drinking when off duty slightly too much beer for an empty stomach. Fireman Bradford was fined four day's pay and Fireman Counseman two day's, for indulging In a little scrap in quarters. Annual leaves of absence were granted to Patrolmen P. J. Rlnn and 8. D.

"ECTOR AND OTHERS FAVOR THE PLAN Chorch ts Rerloaslr Twisted by the Wind, Whlrh Also pssisgei tbe Pipe Organ. "In my Judgment the best thing for the congregation to do is to build a flew church, even if It has to go in debt for it." These were the words of Rev. T. J. Mackay upon his return from his vacation, which has been spent In New Tork, upon viewing the wreck of All Saints Episcopal church, which the wind and storm twisted In such bad shape Friday night. O. W. Wattles and Victor Caldwell, the building committee of the church, are both In New York and nothing definite could be learned of the plans for rebuilding. "It Is impossible tp make a sightly struc ture of the wrecked church, although the builders and architects say It can be re paired. In the meanwhile the congregation must look for suitable quarters for services next Sunday." All Saints parish has erected a rectory during the last yoar at a cont of S12.000 and the church was being moved from the corner to make room for a $15,000 parish house, which is to be the personal gift of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Wattles. The church waa blown around four feet and Is a se rious wreck. The pipe organ is torn to pieces and every wall Is twisted until It looks actually unsafe. The plan was to build a fifteen-foot addition on the front of the church, which could be used as an entrance to the parish house aa well. The parish house will occupy the corner flush with Twenty-sixth street and will be 64x35 feet, leaving a small lawn on the Dewey avenue side. Captain H. E. Palmer has sent for the Insurance adjuster, $5,000 insurance against wind being carried by the vestry. It is argued that this $5,000 would make a good start on the new church, whereas it will cost nearly 115,000 to rebuild the old struc ture. A heating plant will have to be put tn the old church and electric lights In stalled all of which represents an added expense. MORE BOYS UNDER AGE WORK Children In BiaT Demand and Many Are Ont of School This Year. Activity !n all lines of business Is de manding the employment of children under 15 years to a greater extent than ever be fore in Omaha, according to Truant Officer Parker, and nls work 1b made so much the harder for that reason. He has found many boys at work who should be In school, but about 175 children remain unaccounted for. He ts rounding them up as rapidly as possible and placing them in either pub lic or parochial schools. The Young Men's Christian association1 night school will open tonight with twice the enrollment ever re corded before. It Is made up largely of boys who have to work during the day, owing to the financial condition of their families. In such case the truant officer is satisfied if they attend night school.
